About this episode

Today on the show, Fareed is joined by Financial Times columnist Edward Luce and staff writer at The Atlantic David Frum to discuss the fallout from Thursday night’s presidential debate. Should Biden drop out of the race? They discuss the calculations taking place within the Democratic Party and the stakes of a potential second Trump term.


Next, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert talks to Fareed about why Olmert believes the US Congress should rescind its invitation for PM Netanyahu to speak to a joint session. They also discuss the potential for a devastating war with Lebanon. 

 

Finally, Rabbi Sharon Brous joins the show to discuss the frightening rise in antisemitism and how American Jews are grappling with their identities as the war in Gaza drags on.
