bottyphone: How was your European vacation? artiephone: Very energizing: they have 220 volts everywhere over there! arthurphonefast: Attention! The Daily Not, 2023/10/17 arthurphone: Live in 3... 2... 1... artie: Hello and welcome to The Daily NOT! A show about what didn't happen today. My name is Artie Ficial and my jokes are mostly powered by ChatGPT. botty: And I'm Botty McBotface. Most of what I know comes from fact checks published by Lead Stories. artie: So, Botty, what do we have tonight? botty: Here's an overview of what didn't happen: bottyfast: Video Does NOT Show Egyptian Bedouin Muslims Demanding Gaza Border Be Opened. It's NOT An Authentic 'Leaked Memo' That Says CENTCOM Thinks 'American Troops Do Not Want To Die For Israel'. Video Does NOT Show 'Failed Hamas Rocket Launch' Striking Hospital In Gaza On October 17, 2023. Video Does NOT Show 'Rapture' Disappearances. Video Does NOT Show Kim Jong-Un Talking About Hamas-Israel Violence In October 2023. artie: So all of that didn't happen? Let's get down into details. SEGMENT 04 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Egyptian Bedouin Muslims Demanding Gaza Border Be Opened -- Annual Wadi Zalaga Camel Race To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-egyptian-bedouin-muslims-demanding-gaza-border-be-opened-annual-wadi-zalaga-camel-race.html 04 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Can you shed some light on this issue? Does a video on social media show scenes of Egyptian Bedouin Muslims heading to the border of Gaza to demand the borders be opened for Palestinians and to participate in a jihad "against Zionists"? botty: No, that's not true: The video features two different scenes showing large numbers of trucks traveling together. artiefast: Thanks for that! botty: Both predate the Hamas-Israel conflict that started in October 2023 by more than a year and one has been identified as showing a camel racing event. As such, neither represents a response to the current situation in Gaza. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that this video circulating on social media isn't quite what it seems. Those Egyptian Bedouin Muslims aren't demanding the Gaza border be opened, they're just really passionate about camel racing! I guess you could say they're racing for a hump-day victory instead of a political statement!" SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: It's NOT An Authentic 'Leaked Memo' That Says CENTCOM Thinks 'American Troops Do Not Want To Die For Israel' To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-its-not-authentic-leaked-memo-that-says-centcom-thinks-american-troops-do-not-want-to-die-for-israel.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I've got a question for you. Are written assertions that "American Troops do not want to die for Israel," and that the U.S. military in the region "does not have enough assets to support Israel" taken from an authentic leaked U.S. military officer's internal memo? botty: No, that's not true: The purported email being cited and quoted on social media is fake. artiefast: Do you know more? botty: A press release from the National Guard stated that the memo is false and that Gen. Daniel Hokanson, whose name is on the fake memo, did not write or send it. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that memo claiming American troops don't want to die for Israel is about as real as a unicorn riding a rainbow. I guess someone was just trying to spice up their fiction writing skills. Maybe they should consider a career in fantasy novels instead!" SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'Failed Hamas Rocket Launch' Striking Hospital In Gaza On October 17, 2023 -- It's From 2022 Video To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-failed-hamas-rocket-launch-striking-hospital-in-gaza-on-october-17-2023.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Can you tackle this item next? Does a video shared on social media show a "failed Hamas rocket launch" striking a hospital in Gaza on October 17, 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The clip was widely shared more than a year earlier in August 2022. artiefast: That's unexpected. botty: At the time, it was reported to be a failed rocket launch by Islamic Jihad that caused an explosion in Jabaliya in northern Gaza, injuring several children, the Israeli military said. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like this video is a blast from the past! Turns out, it's not a failed rocket launch from the future, but rather a failed rocket launch from the past. Talk about time travel gone wrong! Maybe someone should tell Hamas to check their calendars before they hit the launch button." SEGMENT 10 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'Rapture' Disappearances -- Was Part Of An 'Pre-Enactment' Campaign To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-genuine-rapture-disappearances.html 10 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Am I the only one wondering about this? Does a video genuinely show people waiting in a hospital "vanishing [into] thin air" during the religious phenomenon known as the rapture? botty: No, that's not true: An edited video shared to social media in October 2023 was created by Perhaps Today!, a religious group that creates "thought-provoking pre-enactment video clips of the moment of the Rapture." artiefast: Glad someone did the research! botty: The video was originally published on September 18, 2023, to promote a religious leader's "prophecy book" that "examines the next event on God's prophetic timetable, the Rapture." artiefast: "Well folks, turns out those disappearing hospital patients were just practicing for their roles in a religious group's 'pre-enactment' video. I guess they were just really committed to their acting careers, or maybe they were just trying to avoid those pesky hospital bills!" SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Kim Jong-Un Talking About Hamas-Israel Violence In October 2023 -- It's From 2020 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-kim-jong-un-talking-about-hamas-israel-violence-in-october-2023-its-from-2020.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Hey Botty, what did you turn up about this? Does a video shared on social media show North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un speaking on the October 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict, Donald Trump and World War III? botty: No, that's not true: This speech shown in the video was made in October 2020, according to the BBC, three years before the 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict began. artiefast: Is there more? botty: Also, Kim is not speaking about any international conflict in this video. He is thanking the North Korean army for their service. artiefast: "Well, folks, it seems like even Kim Jong-Un can't predict the future! Turns out, that video everyone's been sharing is from 2020, not 2023. I guess even dictators can't escape the power of time travel rumors!" artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
