Scott is joined by veteran, journalist and former RFK Jr. policy advisor James R. Webb to discuss his resignation from the campaign. Kennedy has thrown his support not only behind the state of Israel but behind their indiscriminate tactics in Gaza. Scott and Webb talk about why this is morally abhorrent as well as politically and strategically foolish.

Discussed on the show:

• “Israel has waged one of this century’s most destructive wars in Gaza” (Washington Post)
• Jim Webb’s Resignation Letter
• Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem – MartyrMade

James R. Webb is a veteran and journalist. He is also a former aide for Rand Paul and a former policy advisor for RFK Jr.’s 2024 presidential campaign. Follow him on Twitter @SgtJRWebb
