About this episode

Matt and Daniel discuss various political topics with journalist Rania Khalek.

Matt and Daniel are joined from Beirut by BreakThrough News journalist Rania Khalek to discuss hasbara hits of the 80s, the matryoshka doll of nested Israeli missile defense systems, and whether AOC’s tireless working is working, or just making us tired.
