Earlier today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress for the first time since the Hamas attack on Israel last October 7. But the real drama occurred on the streets of Washington, D.C., where protesters tore down and burned American flags. Julio Rosas, Blaze Media’s national correspondent, was on the ground in D.C. today, and he joins the program to discuss what he saw. Senior politics editor and Washington correspondent for Blaze Media Christopher Bedford also chimes in and questions how many politicians actually support the protesters clashing with police. Notably missing from Netanyahu’s congressional address was Kamala Harris. This was due to a scheduling conflict, according to her office. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump revealed on Truth Social that he will be meeting with Netanyahu this Friday and shared a letter from the president of the Palestinian Authority wishing him well.
