America conquered the richest region on the planet without firing a single shot. No army, no invasion, no war—just one piece of paper: the US dollar, backed by nothing but a government that prints it at will.

For centuries, money meant gold—real, untouchable gold. America promised every dollar could be traded for gold, and that’s why the world trusted the green paper. But America printed more dollars than gold it had, and the world caught on, demanding gold in exchange. The vaults ran dry.

In 1971, President Nixon ended the gold standard live on TV. Suddenly, the dollar was just paper. The terrifying question: why would anyone keep using it?

The answer? A secret 50 years old, tied to oil sales worldwide priced in dollars. This quiet deal turned a piece of paper into the most powerful weapon ever. The world still pays for it—and you do too.

Pete Holmes kicks off with a hilarious take on God jokes, blending belief and skepticism with sharp wit. He confesses his mom wanted him to be a youth pastor, but comedy was "close enough." Navigating the tricky waters of faith, Pete points out how believers brace for offense while non-believers zone out—"talking about God is like talking about a unicorn." He humorously dismisses the idea that God needs believers to have power, calling that "Santa, bitch." Pete’s atheist comedian friends poke fun at his faith, but he hits back with a clever metaphor: we're like characters in a book trying to find the author inside the story. Dive into this silly, smart, and irreverent fun with Pete Holmes!

Watch for more laughs and thoughtful jabs at faith and belief!

Iman Shalouf, a 27-year-old Palestinian woman eight months pregnant, was shot in the head while inside her family’s tent in al-Mawasi, Khan Younis. Both she and her unborn baby tragically died and were buried today in Khan Younis.

Imagine the horror, then consider that Israeli soldiers once wore T-shirts depicting a pregnant Palestinian woman in their crosshairs with the slogan "One shot, two kills." This wasn’t a one-time incident or a few bad actors. As Samira Mohyeddin bluntly puts it, "The whole crop is rotten to the core."
