Summary

Tommy and Ben discuss the Israeli military’s plan to seal off and lay siege to Northern Gaza, the Biden administration’s demand that Israel improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza or else the US will (maybe?) cut off weapons shipments, the IDF’s expanding military campaign in Lebanon, and new details about how Israel might respond to Iran’s ballistic missile attack. They also talk about a “hit list” of Trump administration officials being targeted by Iran, North Korea blowing up roads connected to South Korea and sending troops to Russia, Canada and India expelling diplomats over the assassination of a Sikh activist, and Viktor Orbán getting dunked on in the European Parliament. Then Ben speaks to Saad Mohseni, author of “Radio Free Afghanistan” about running a media company in Afghanistan under Taliban rule.

0:00.0	Welcome back to Pod Save the World, I'm Tommy Vittor. I'm Ben Rhodes. Ben, I think
0:14.7	sometimes listeners tire of our sports banter at the top, but this time we have a
0:19.2	foreign policy connection. Your coach of the Jets, Robert Sala, was recently fired.
0:24.0	Yeah, I was hoping we could banter about the Mets.
0:28.0	Never heard of them.
0:30.0	But... Did you see a Sala was wearing a Lebanese flag?
0:33.0	Yeah, the Lebanese flag during the game in London,
0:37.0	and then the jets lost and then he got canned by Woody Johnson, owner of the Jets and former Trump Ambassador to the United Kingdom.
0:47.0	And there was some suggestion that maybe there was a connection between the Lebanese flag and the firing and not the jets sucking ass in the firing and I
0:56.7	saw a tweet that I thought you'd enjoy which someone at River Tam Y-DN
1:00.6	tweeted the New York Jets would let a coach wear an ISIS flag if he could win the AFC East.
1:04.8	Yeah, I mean, I think that Woody Johnson was probably all of the above.
1:11.0	I'm sure that he's not a supporter of the Lebanese people
1:16.4	in the same way that we would want him to be.
1:18.5	I'm sure also that he didn't like his team losing
1:21.6	in London where he was the ambassador or he probably wanted to impress his
1:24.4	friends. And I don't know what role Aaron Rogers played, but it couldn't have been good.
1:30.8	I will say.
1:31.8	You want 30 seconds on the Mets. You want to sound off? The Mets are giving me the most
1:35.1	joy I've had in my life in a while. You've been very happy on group texts. Yes, except for I decided to kind of break the bank, do this dub hub thing, go to game one, take my nine-year-old
1:46.2	daughter, super excited for her to share in this Mets run.
1:50.5	I was about her age the last time the Mets won the World Series and of course I
