"Ep. 2076 - 4 Days To Go: Democrat DESPERATION!" About 40 minutes in, Shapiro screens a hilarious post-apocalyptic vision of the future in which Trump is dead and Vance is a dictator from an organization called "Seed the Vote". I seriously can't find it anywhere. Google is pretending it doesn't exist. Can't find it on Duckduckgo either. I want to forward it to my friends!
A lot of people like to blame FBI director Jim Comey's last minute announcement about Hillary Clinton's Emails on Anthony Weiner's laptop late in the 2016 Presidential campaign and The Supreme Courts 5-4 decision to stop The Florida Election Ballot Recounts for Hillary Clinton and Al Gore losing very winnable Elections. My question is which action was more unprecedented by our Legal Institutions?
I saw that on a bumper sticker today and wanted to hug the driver. Ben sees clearly how corrupt and foolish Harris is, but less so with Trump. I'm thankful to still have the freedom to vote for someone that I think will do a good job.
To me, what sticks out in this debate is how quickly Sam changes standards with how he looks at the actions of politicians. When it’s a Democrat, he treats what they say/do as mostly unimportant, unserious, etc. but when it’s Trump it’s super important, serious, etc. It’s what Ben pointed out multiple times; the actual policy and comparing actions vs words matters more. But even the rhetoric itself, Sam changes standards. When Hillary denies the results of the 2016 election, (and launders the Russiagate lies) that’s just water under the bridge. Trump denying the election results in 2020 and then leaving office, that’s the end of the world. It bothered me quite a bit how Sam’s standards seem to change so radically but for no solid reason.

Long time listener, but yesterday's episode with trump annoyed me. Not because he interviewed Trump, but bc he let trump talk about how amazing he was for like 20 minutes, and then afterwards plays a tiny clip of kamala saying she did well, and then calls kamala self centered/self congratulatory. like lol, really ben? c'mon. I appreciate his breakdowns but sometimes he doesn't even try to be objective. Trump was gushing over how amazing he was to ben's face but apparently those are only desirable traits in a republican. Kamala displays a fraction of Trump's hubris and Ben goes off.

I'm sure everyone has noticed that gas and food prices have gone down pretty considerably recently, and there are a ton of sales going on everytime I go grocery shopping. It seems pretty obvious that this is to make Kamala look better for getting inflation under control just before the election. My question is this: what power to people like Biden and Harris have to influence the price of goods and services? I really don't understand what they can do to make such a quick difference on these prices, and why they don't do it throughout their term instead of waiting til the end.
I've gotten a ticket. However, it's stated that seats are not guaranteed. How early should I show up for his speech?

These points also apply to any other American groups that are pro Israel such as Christian Zionists. The post focuses on Israel since 80%+ American Jews identify as Zionists. His other policies have also been beneficial to American Jews and many other groups although they did not focus specifically on them. Trump has been the most pro-Israel president of the 21st century and he had a 80%+ approval rating in Israel.
Here are some things he did for Israel: 1-acknowledged Israeli sovereignty over the Golan heights and said the settlements were not illegal (the second one is more subjectively good imo).
2-cut funding to UNRWA a group that has been associated with the October 7th attacks and has a pay for slay program for Palestinians that provide the families of terrorists financial support. Biden immediately resumed funding to this highly corrupt organization. Even if you support humanitarian assistance to Palestinians, as I do, do you really think it’s fair that Palestinian refugees should be the only group in the world with their own agency ? Why should they be entitled to significantly more funding than Sudanese refugees?
3-the Abraham accords were established under his administration through the assistance of Jared Kushner and the Trump administration. This is the most significant normalization agreement between Israel and other Arab nations in decades. It normalized relations with Morocco, Bahrain and UAE. It is the most significant step in the peace process in a long time and could have also included Saudi Arabia.
4-Moved the embassy from tel aviv to Jerusalem acknowledging Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
5-stopped the Iran-nuclear deal which provided the Iranian regime with billions of dollars in exchange for their “promise” not to build nuclear weapons. He also imposed economic sanctions on them preventing them from funding terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah and threatened nations that traded with them.
6-proposed the trump peace plan in 2020 for a two state solution. Although this plan has been criticized for being too pro Israel it is the first attempt in decades to renegotiate a two state solution.
So far Biden has;
1-cut off certain weapons to prevent Israel from defending itself (temporarily or permanently)
2–resumed the Iran-nuclear deal.
3-aggressively fought against Russia who many believe are allied with Hamas.
4-said some of the Palestinian protesters have “good points”.
5-done nothing to negotiate normalization between Israel and other nations. He also failed to achieve a deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel for normalization.
6-repeatedly criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza and said he did not support them going into Rafah even though almost no civilians there have been killed.
7-put pressure on Netanyahu, a democratically elected leader of a sovereign nation, to resign cause he believed he was the problem.
8-Kamala so far has remained politically neutral when it comes to Israel and refused to attend netenyahu’s speech at Congress because she was busy at sorority.
There has been a major shift from the left to the right among American Jews. All of the most extreme anti Israel activists in Congress are democratic members of the squad. Now ask yourselves, who is better for American Jews? The person who says stupid things on x but has actually done concrete things for Israel or the democrats who continually flip-flop to cater to their radical base?
All of these policies are also objectively good for the US imo since they weaken Iran and increase global stability.
