This week we had to bring Marcus Parks back to help us wrap our brains around the unthinkable. Could Trump’s upsetting of the Middle East apple cart, reordering alliances, and embracing autocracies somehow be a good thing? We run through the litany of deals made since the start of his second term, consider our recent about-face on Syria and the Houthis, and listen to a Hamas official express his belief that US envoy Adam Boehler, whom he met with DIRECTLY, really listened this time. Basically, we add up all the ways we’re creating distance from Netanyahu and wonder what it all means for the Palestinians. We know there’s no method to the madness, but could there be a silver lining? Then, just for fun, we listen to Kristi Noem make a fool of herself.
