About this episode
Progressive Democrat Abdul El-Sayed scored an impressive, albeit narrow, victory over establishment Democrat Haley Stevens in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, overcoming Stevens' significant backing from pro-Israel groups and the power brokers inside the Democratic Party. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger criticize U.S. foreign aid to Israel and broader interventionist policies, while praising El-Sayed's messaging on prioritizing domestic spending over foreign conflicts.
However, the commentary ultimately argues that El-Sayed remains aligned with other establishment foreign policy positions, particularly regarding Ukraine, and questions whether his election will lead to meaningful political change. Jimmy also lights into Democratic Party leadership, our corrupt campaign financing system, fascistic COVID-era policies, and failings of the broader U.S. political system.
Plus segments on NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers' "I told you so" tour over COVID policies, a U.S. citizen arrested for automatically wiping his phone when customs officers stopped him while returning to the country, and Israel's desperate attempts to prevent a negotiated settlement to the Iran conflict.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Garland Nixon and Kit Cabello!
