0:00.0	This is not good electoral politics for Biden what he's been doing.
0:06.0	The American people are expressing overwhelmingly that they are not happy with Biden's foreign policy in the Middle East. So, I am so glad to be joined again on Bad Faith Podcast by Jeffrey Sachs world renowned economics professor, best
0:54.8	selling author, an educator, welcome back.
0:57.5	Great to be with you, thank you.
0:59.2	All right, obviously there have been a great number of world developments. It seems that the crisis in

2:16.8	ministers of the Israeli government and of course of the horrific massacres, the killing and the destruction taking place in Gaza.
2:27.6	So while the Israeli leaders brushed it off, denigrated it, mocked it, it's very real and denigrated it mocked it.
2:34.0	It's very real and the court put Israel on a clock.
2:39.0	30 days there has to be not only a report from Israel but there's going to be a response
