Episode Netanyahu LOSES Election… But Still In Power?

0:00 1:00:12

In this segment Jimmy examines Israel's election results, arguing that Benjamin Netanyahu may remain in power despite his political bloc falling short of the 61 seats needed for a Knesset majority. He explains how the opposition's difficulty working with Arab parties, who hold potentially decisive seats, could give Netanyahu another opportunity to form a government or prolong his tenure as caretaker prime minister.

As other political commentators have noted, tribal loyalties, culture-war divisions, religious beliefs, and attacks on opponents have traditionally helped Netanyahu retain support within his coalition. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Sachs argues that replacing Netanyahu and his far-right allies could create an opportunity for a different political direction. The segment also criticizes Donald Trump's support for Netanyahu and explores possible coalition arrangements, including cooperation with Arab parties or a unity government without Netanyahu, amid concerns about racism, regional conflict, and the future of U.S.–Israeli relations.

Plus segments on Shawn Ryan's inability to answer basic questions about claims he censored a recent guest, the real reason why Europe is erupting in protest and a CNN panel's meltdown over a recent anti-Israel campaign ad.

Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Glenn Diesen and Stef Zamorano!
