This week, we dig into the Israeli elections-- what they could mean, who the main players are, and whether there is any reason for hopefulness. We also look at some true bright spots in Brazil and Serbia before hitting new lows in Ohio with Vivek Ramaswamy and JD.

This week Marcus Parks joins the show to help us decipher Trump's decision to waive the Russia sanctions set to take effect this week. Was it a crass attempt to lower diesel prices before Election Day? Highly likely. Will it work? Hard no. Will it likely have unforeseen consequences that will hurt Americans? Sadly, yes. They also discuss Trump's dogged support of Netanyahu despite the latest attacks in Palestine and JD Vance's ham-fisted attempt at gay baiting in a recent Texas campaign stop.

This week, we go all in on JD Vance! Celebrated comedian and JD impersonator extraordinaire Dan Wilbur joins the show for a hilarious conversation about getting his start in comedy, how politics informs his work, and what inspired him to start roasting JD in the first place.
