Kyle Anzalone was back on Antiwar Radio this week to talk about what’s happening in the Middle East. He gives an overview of the Iranian ballistic missile strike on Israel, the IDF’s invasion of Lebanon, the recklessness we’re seeing from Netanyahu and the pathetic submissiveness we’re seeing from the Biden Administration. They end with a quick summary of the slaughter in Gaza, which hasn’t stopped as the world’s attention shifts to Lebanon.

Journalist Michael Tracey joins Scott to talk about Trump’s 2024 campaign. Tracey argues that the anti-establishment credentials of Trump are often overblown, and that when one takes an unemotional look at what a second Trump term is likely to deliver, it’s not anything to get excited about. He and Scott also discuss the campaign of Kamala Harris.
