Why Do Radical U.S. Politicians Blame Jews? - with Jonah Goldberg and John Podhoretz

Why have positions about Israel and Jews become a defining fault line in American politics? In part two of their conversation, Dan is joined by Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, and John Podhoretz, editor-in-chief of Commentary Magazine, to discuss what the victories of Zohran Mamdani and other Democratic Socialists reveal about the radicalization of politics of the American left.
