  • Summary

  • From now until the election, expect an unprecedented onslaught of daily reports about political polls -- many of them designed to manipulate you. Fear, dread, hopelessness, and anger get you to click and “doomscroll.” Today, Josh explains why President Biden’s decision to drop out made sense, but the polls also don’t indicate what will happen in November. He shows how the Trump team wants to sow divisions among Democrats, and why polls could become a tool in that effort. Also, a listener asks about polls showing Palestinians overwhelmingly support the October 7 terrorist massacres against Israelis. Plus: If you’re trying to get the truth out during an interview with a news agency that frequently lies about you or an entity that you represent, what do you do? Josh interviews a woman who faces that challenge frequently: the Israeli consul general to the Southeast.
