The Middle East Braces for War (Semi-Emergency Pod)

In this quasi-emergency pod, Alex expresses concerns about the Israel-Hamas humanitarian nightmare spilling into a regional war. After weeks of growing shared rocket attacks between Israel and Hezbollah, growing political assassinations, and threats of retaliation from Iran, it looks like there is a growing crisis in Lebanon. Yesterday, more than a dozen countries told their citizens to leave Beirut as flights have been cancelled and there are worries of Iran attacking Israel and Israel retaliating. Later, Alex talks about how Donald Trump won’t debate Kamala Harris on ABC, now he wants a debate on Fox News. Alex argues that Harris should call his bluff and go on Fox News.
