Maggie dives into the complexities of global and domestic politics with Professor Lowell Barrington, unpacking Trump and Netanyahu’s fraught Gaza peace proposal that calls for Hamas’ surrender without offering a viable path to Palestinian statehood. The conversation explores skepticism over the fractured state of Hamas and Netanyahu’s precarious hold on power. Maggie also critiques Trump’s controversial UN speech and its ripple effects at home. Later, listeners weigh in on topics ranging from massive data centers to Fox News’ incendiary rhetoric, all against the backdrop of a looming government shutdown tied to healthcare subsidies.
