Welcome to Pase the world, I'm Tommy Vittor. I'm Ben Rhodes. Slow newsweek? I can't keep up. I mean things

that seemed absolutely transitional and

existential like three weeks ago are now like you know and when you guys said on

PSA that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies went like a few weeks ago

it feels like it was about 10 years ago that I thought the debate was like the end of the world and then

Saturday was the most terrifying shocking thing I've ever witnessed on basically

live TV. I learned from you, right? So I was like I was with my family at lunch and I get this

text like that was bad and I was like oh no Biden had another brain freeze or

something and then I clicked on the link and go no much worse yeah much much

worse yeah I was home with with James or two month old just like watching the news

basically watch this all unfold live was horrifying what we're gonna talk about all of this, we're going to talk with the

international reaction to the attempted assassination of President Trump. We'll

talk about Vice presidential nominee, JD Vance, and his foreign policy

positions and record.

Some low lights from the Republican Convention, an update on our good friend, dear friend of the

pod, Senator Bob Menendez, who's been in court a bit lately. The latest from Gaza an election in Rwanda, a

protest movement in Kenya. Finally, it's some good news out of Gambia and then some

fun stories to close. And then Ben I just spoke with Congressman Seth Moulton from Massachusetts. So I believe you know well. Yes. Yeah, yeah, great guy. Very good guy. So if you don't know Seth

Molton, you know, he's a member of Congress now. He also went to Harvard. He also served four

tours in Iraq. It's really interesting background in resume. The reason I

wanted to talk to him was because in mid-October of last year, right after the October 7th attacks, he wrote this

op-ed about the lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan and all the mistakes the Israelis should not repeat in their ground invasion into Gaza.
