A Disasterous Town Hall for Democracy, Chaos Looms at the Southern Border, Assad is Welcomed Back & Do Sanctions Work on Pariah States?
In this episode, Alex starts by breaking down CNN’s Town Hall with Donald Trump which turned out to be a complete disaster. Alex asks his audience — what was the point of this town hall? In the 70 minute event, Trump made jokes about sexual assault victims, said he would pardon J6 members, couldn’t commit to supporting Ukraine, and basically said he would not accept the election results if he lost. Next, Alex looks at how chaos may be looming at the southern border. The COVID-era Title 42 is set to expire at midnight on May 11th and it looks like there may be uncertainity at the border. Finally, Alex worries that Syria’s murderous leader, Bashar al-Assad is being welcomed back into the international community as many countries have recognized that he is going to remain Syria’s president for years to come. Alex discusses how this brings up a moral dilemma — should nation’s continue to sanction and isolate a pariah country, even when it still remains?
