But the Abraham Accords are a huge deal. And get this: you can acknowledge both the flaws of the Trump administration’s approach to foreign policy in the region and the huge success that just happened on their watch. Try it. It’s not hard. Joe Biden, in trouble Hispanic voters in Florida, tries to give those voters what they want. And apparently he thinks what they want is the 2017 Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee reggeton hit “Despacito” streamed in his iPhone, followed by a speech from 1990s pop star Ricky Martin.

Borrowing a dormant idea from The Fifth Column podcast, Eric and Joe debut a new segment of the show: Some Idiot Wrote This.
