Happy 4th to the world from Guam to Gaza
In this conversation, Gabe and Sameer discuss various topics including Independence Day, comedy shows, agent provocateurs, fake violence at protests, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Guantanamo Bay, police funding, reproductive rights, and the state of Detroit. They touch on themes of injustice, government manipulation, and the erosion of civil liberties. Detroit is often portrayed as a dystopian hellscape in movies, but Gabe's experience visiting the city was entirely different. He found Detroit to be beautiful and filled with friendly people. The city's auto-centric design and lack of population density contribute to its dystopian feel, but it also fosters a sense of resilience and camaraderie among the residents. Detroit has a thriving art scene, with artists creating without the pressure of commercial success. The city is also known for its diverse food options, including Yemeni and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Something Stinks at Columbia University but Thailand rules! (Feat. Davidson Boswell)
On this episode, Gabe and Sameer have comedian Davidson Boswell on the podcast. He joins us after recently returning from performing comedy for a couple months in Thailand. We learn more about performing comedy abroad and his travels in Asia.
We also talk about the protests at Columbia University, the "skunk water" attacks from IDF soldiers who happen to also go to school there and the non-existent response from the administration.
NOTE: Sameer's mic crapped out toward the end of the episode and we had to make the tough call of still publishing it after it wasn't salvagable. Don't worry, we figured out the problem and it won't be an issue next episode.

Welcome To Soldiers of Light Radio feat. Luisa Diez
The response from Israel post October 7th has been devastating on civilians, especially children in Palestine. Gabe and Sameer have Luisa (their favorite guest) from Why You Mad podcast to talk about the current climate in the United States and abroad.
They discuss the immediate McCarthyist attempts at silencing people who question the indiscriminate killing of civilians by Israel as "self defense" in the entertainment industry (among many others)
They discuss various attempts at pink-washing and delegitimizing protest to attempt to force Americans to acquiesce and allow a genocide. We urge you to do regarding this subject matter, the kind one used to do at a library, not the kind people do on Instagram via memes.
Sameer talks about how Joe Biden spit in the face of Muslims and Arabs across the US and how as a community he has seen them vow not to vote Democrat ever again.
They also discuss the article from the New Yorker about Hasan Minhaj and how it was a hit piece along with his response video with receipts.
Some immediate moves you can make to help:
Demand an immediate ceasefire by calling an writing to your reps. www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/call-congress-support-ceasefire/
Educate your family and friends about the evils of the occupation.
March at protests, speak up online.
Donate to families in Palestine irusa.org/middle-east/palestine/
