Starvation in Gaza, Epstein Files, Big Housing Bill

Mike and Ken kick off this supporters’ midweek episode with a discussion of the dire situation in Gaza, including consideration of what the US can do to help and Netanyahu’s endgame in his fight against Hamas (and to stay out of prison). Next, they look at a novel approach Democrats on the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee are taking to force the release of materials on Jeffrey Epstein. Following that, it’s a major housing bill that recently cleared the Senate Banking Committee in a 24-0 vote. Both Mike and Ken think it’s a good start to dealing with the housing shortage, but there’s still plenty more to be done. Ken points out that the housing affordability problem could be seen as more of a ‘wages are too low for the working class’ problem. They close with Ken answering listener questions about what he’s changed his mind on, a decent Republican policy, his major beef with the Biden administration, and one concept he wishes more conservatives understood.
