Summary

Join Jim and Greg as they remember the long and complicated legacy of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who advised presidents for 60 years before his death Wednesday at the age of 100. They highlight Kissinger's record and why he is deeply respected by some deeply reviled by others.

They also hammer Hamas for the deadly shootings of Israeli civilians in Jerusalem, including a pregnant teacher, and what this means for the temporary ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

Finally, they scratch their heads after former President Trump claims he has the support of a former Black LIves Matter official and from the organization itself. While the veracity of the BLM support is drawing scrutiny, why would Trump want it in the first place?

is the passing of former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Henry

0:36.9

Kissinger at the age of 100. He turned 100 back in May. As far as I know, he was still very active in writing and consulting until very, very recently.

0:47.0

And so it seems like he was still very with it and his opinion in high regard by a number of people.

His passing is not without controversy, of course,

Pinochet over the next couple of decades.

1:25.6

Others would argue vindicated that decision. The guy was an ardent anti-communist,
