The Media's Great Kamala Pivot
Digest
The podcast begins with an introduction of the guests, Caroline Glick and Brent Bozell, who will discuss Netanyahu's speech to Congress, the media's coverage of Kamala Harris, and the ongoing war in Gaza. Glick analyzes Netanyahu's speech, emphasizing its importance for both Israel and the US, and criticizes the media's negative portrayal of the speech, calling it a manifestation of anti-Semitism. She argues that the boycott of Netanyahu's speech by over 100 Democrats is a rejection of the Israeli people's right to choose their leaders.

He argues that this is a deliberate attempt to rehabilitate her image and support her potential presidential candidacy.

Show Notes
Years ago, the media labeled Kamala the "border czar" and the most liberal senator in America. Now, they are rewriting history in realtime, and declaring their own past reporting to be "disinformation." Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center helps Charlie walk through one of the most 1984-style media narratives we've ever seen. Plus, Caroline Glick talks about the state of the Gaza war and how Bibi Netanyahu's visit to Congress shapes politics in the U.S. and in Israel.
