Al Franken: Frank Foer & David Rothkopf on Israel's Wars in Gaza and Lebanon...and Michael Mann on the Hurricanes



It's been a year since the horrific attack in Israel that set off the current wars in the Middle East. Frank Foer from The Atlantic and David Rothkopf from The Daily Beast to talk about the painful year and what happens moving forward. If a ceasefire is worked out, what is the future of Gaza and how will it rebuild? What political price is America paying for its role in the wars? And does anyone actually think Donald Trump would be the best person to manage this crisis?

Plus, Nobel Prize-winning climate scientist Michael Mann kicks off this week's show! Hurricanes Helene and Milton have caused unprecedented damage to parts of the country. Unless we take action on climate, storms like this could be our new reality. - 10/13/2024.

— you know, for a change.

I subscribe to Franken’s podcast, but good to see it on YouTube as well. This discussion was illuminating.
