Are You Listening?

Well, the things that caught my attention, I mean, just watching things just blow up left and right.

I mean, you have, you know, Graham Plattner, right, completely imploding new sex abuse, you know, allegations and then everything and all of the fallout.

And, you know, I hope we get to talk about that a little bit today.

You have Lindsey Graham dying, you know, this this sort of like, you know, camouflaged, you know, Republican that has been able to survive in every type of movement and administration who became this.

you know, handmaiden effectively for Donald Trump passes away and now Republican politics are in turmoil.

Back here, you know, in Colorado, right, we didn't know on July 1st and we were talking on July 3rd, like maybe maybe Victor Marx wins.

Maybe he doesn't.

Maybe it's Barbara Kirkmeyer.

And what's so interesting about that is that the general.

is profoundly impacted if it's Barbara Kirkmeyer versus Phil Weiser or Victor Marx.

And it turns out it's Victor Marx.

And then you have huge global politics taking place.

You've got the war in Iran back on.

And that has been absolutely messing with our economy beyond all the other issues around it.

And then you have two presidential candidates effectively posturing themselves for the presidential run amongst the Democrats in Israel.

You have Rahm Emanuel giving a masterpiece speech And I think pivotal statement about what it means to be pro-Israel and pro-peace in this moment and what that means for the United States.

And then you have Ro Khanna wandering around in the West Bank and, you know, essentially getting into a confrontation with settlers and the IDF and claiming to be detained.

And then that becomes his presidential posture.

And so all of this is happening.

And that was, by the way, that was just two weeks.

And I probably missed like five things.

Yeah, there were lots of things.

That's a really good rundown, and I think the Israel topic had further developments because we got this reaction to Malak Kiros' win with an independent person getting 1,500 signatures in about two and a half days to run as an independent against her.

Basically –

Can you repeat his name for our listeners? Well, his name is Shimon Blau, but he goes by Shimmy.
