Special - Offer Rescinded w/ James Cavallaro
I keep seeing this episode title and panicking about the special offer I'm missing out on.
Nice interview guys. I really shook my head when I read that the Biden administration punked out and renewed his nomination. That Israel is beyond criticism is very frustrating and ultimately might be harmful to Jewish people.
