Trump expresses disappointment in the diminishing influence of the Israel lobby in the U.S., suggesting that it once had more power and could end careers of politicians who opposed it.

Shownotes Transcript

While addressing a group of ardent Israel supporters, Donald Trump made the decidedly surprising assertion that Israel and its US-based lobbying wing AIPAC do not wield sufficient power over American politics. 15 years ago the lobby was much stronger, Trump said, and any deviation from a staunchly pro-Israel position by an American politician would have ended their career. Today, Trump announced without any sense of comedic intent, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sounds like a Palestinian.   Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Trump’s apparent feeling that Israel should hold greater sway over American foreign policy.   Plus a segment on commentator Candace Owens’ surprising recent statements about the founding of Israel and an on-the-street interview from a protest near the Chicago DNC with comedian and Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead about the state of the abortion debate.   Also featuring Mike MacRae and a phone call from the British police about possibly arresting Jimmy Dore!
