Trump Ballot Removal, Jan 6 Revisionism, Post-War Gaza Plans
Ep. 190 w/ Shownotes
Should Trump be allowed to stay on the ballot? As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on the former president’s eligibility due to his role in the January 6 insurrection, Ravi and guest co-host Isaac Saul discuss the legal and constitutional merits of the pending decision.
The American public also has January 6 on its mind, with a new poll showing that a quarter of Americans believe the FBI instigated the attacks on the capitol. Ravi and Isaac discuss how public perception has changed over the past three years and how the politics of it all could shape the 2024 election.
Finally, the Israeli government has signaled that it will shift to a new phase in its war against Hamas, but they can’t agree about what a post-war Gaza could look like. The hosts break down the competing visions and ask whether anyone really has any plans for what many have come to call "the day after."
Isaac Saul is the founder of Tangle, the widely regarded non-partisan newsletter that summarizes the best arguments from the left and right on the news of the day.
