Download Episode. Scott brings Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone back onto the show to discuss developments in the Middle East. They start with a recording that The Grayzone recently published in which AIPAC leaders were bragging internally about having total control over Trump’s foreign policy team. That leads into a broader discussion of AIPAC’s playbook when steering Washington’s Middle East policy to the Israeli government’s benefit. Scott and Blumenthal also discuss how a war with Iran would most likely play out, what Israel is currently doing in Syria, the health of Turkish President Erdoğan and more.
