Summary

Israel is preparing for the arrival of President Joe Biden next month, but suddenly a change of plans: Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will no longer be the one to host the American leader. Instead, it’ll likely be a new prime minister, the current foreign minister Yair Lapid. That’s because after one year heading a diverse coalition, Bennett announced he’s dissolving parliament following a series of defections from his own party. His political partner Lapid is set to take over until a new government is formed. Watching all this unfold is of course Benjamin Netanyahu, who hopes the collapse of the government means he can come back on top. Journalist and Bibi biographer Anshel Pfeffer joins the show to discuss.  Also on today's show: civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump and Nadia Hallgren, director of the new Netflix documentary Civil, in which Crump is profiled; lifelong Republican Sarah Longwell, co-founder of Defending Democracy Together and executive director of the Republican Accountability Project; Dr. Eric Topol, Professor of Molecular Medicine, Scripps Research.
