Ep. 147 - U.S. Leaderless as World Burns

We examine a few key details about the escalation of conflict in the Middle East as missiles fly from Iraq and jets are seen flying north from Israel in apparent retaliation for the Hezbollah attack which killed twelve children. Young Voices state beat fellow and friend of the show Gary Frankel stops by to debate Kinnett on the presidential election as a binary choice or an “earned vote.” Vice President Kamala Harris continues to lose relevance to independent voters with disturbing comments regarding criminal prosecution, gun confiscation via executive order, and taxpayer-funded racial reparations. Media headlines struggle to articulate Harris’ flip-flopping positions. In a bit of levity and contrast to the heavy news in this episode, we bring back the popular “Unnecessary Hot Takes” segment to remind everyone why your choice of summer ice cream matters.
