Trump aimed to ease tensions and rekindle their alliance, highlighting his support for Israel and touting his decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. The podcast then shifts to former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination for President. They praised Harris's leadership and expressed confidence in her ability to win the election. Next, the podcast covers Mexico's demand for details from U.S. authorities on the capture of El Mayo Zambada, a notorious drug kingpin, in El Paso, Texas.
