Ted Rall & Scott Stantis

Fellow political cartoonists Ted Rall, from the Left, and Scott Stantis, from the Right, conduct a lively discussion of issues facing the world.

First up: President Joe Biden breaks with the long tradition of the United States being a steadfast ally of Israel. In a recent statement, Biden has said the United States is pausing sales of arms to Israel, hoping to prevent Israeli forces from invading Rafah in Gaza. This has sparked outrage in pro-Israel circles, not to mention a little outrage on this podcast.

Second: Trump on trial. Is this a legitimate prosecution? And what will the eventual outcome be? Scott and Ted lend their observations and discuss their own jail experiences. 

Lastly, it's still the economy, stupid. With many economic indicators pointing towards a steep downturn, what can, or should, be done to prevent it?
