Ep. 372: Mixed Signals ft. Ken Klippenstein
Donald Trump forces through a Gaza ceasefire upon returning to the White House. Then he almost immediately allows Israel to break the deal and resume the violence while posting AI videos of him and Netanyahu catching rays at a Gaza Resort city. They boldly claim they’re about to wipe the Houthis from the face of the Earth, then a few weeks (and a few lost multi-billion dollar airplanes) later he’s publicly praising their bravery and negotiating a new deal, while simultaneously reengaging with Hamas, which enrages Israel officials. Does any of this make sense? Is there a strategy at play here, or is this just the chaos that follows from a guy who is simply listening to the advice of the last person he spoke to? Ken Klippenstein unfortunately returns to the show to discuss.Also: updates on the trade war, aging Democrats, the FBI getting defunded, the American Pope and much more. This is a public episode.
