Rashida Tlaib. The Jewish question. Anti-Semitic tropes by Trump who danes to call himself Jesus,the BDS Movement, Israel, Joe Biden and we’re just beginning when Halli and her partner in politics veteran White House correspondent Matthew Cooper talk all things politics this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.

And oh what a week it was. Anti-Semitism and Israel were the topics of the week when Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, barred Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and her cohort Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from entering Israel and the first two Muslims elected to Congress took their battle with Israel to the airwaves. Trump egged them on, called Jews who voted with the Democratic Party the old anti-Semitic trope “disloyal,” and the Democrats sided with the two Congresswomen, both who themselves have made anti-Semitic statements against Israel and are pro the BDS terrorist movement, the Palestinian economic war machine against the Jewish state. But that’s not all. Joe Biden regained his double-digit lead in the Democratic Party’s presidential contest, while Kamala Harris has taken a precipitous 12-point fall. Is Biden a good bet for the Dems? Why isn’t Steve Bullock, Montana’s popular governor and a moderate Democrat leading a Republican state not getting attention from Democratic Party voters? Is gun control dead? Will the trade war finish off Trump? Is a recession on the horizon? Trump wanted to buy Greenland, and the Danes told him no, so Trump canceled his visit to Denmark? Halli and Matt discuss whether calling Trump crazy is effective, and so much more.

Michael Bloomberg chooses to become a kingmaker rather than a presidential candidate…the Democrats play footsie with socialism…Ilhan Omar and anti-Semitism, House Democrats open a sweeping corruption probe into Trump’s world, and a look at the life of Theodore Roosevelt with historian David Pietrusza and his book TR’S LAST WAR: THEODORE ROOSEVELT, THE GREAT WAR, AND A JOURNEY OF TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY and we’re just beginning. Welcome to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show and our weekly political review with Halli and veteran White House correspondent Matthew Cooper the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com and on all your favorite apps.

As always, Halli and Matt slice and dice the week’s political news. There’s a lot of news and a lot of questions. Now that Michael Bloomberg is out, will former Vice President Joe Biden toss his hat into the presidential ring? Do the Democrats have an anti-Semite in their midst and what to do about Rep. Ilhan Omar?

In our second half-hour, Halli speaks with author and historian David Pietrusza about his fascinating book TR’S LAST WAR: THEODORE ROOSEVELT, THE GREAT WAR, AND A JOURNEY OF TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY, a lively, witty, take on one of America’s greatest presidents. As seen through the lens of the Bull Moose, the 1916 presidential campaign, America’s entry into the Great War in 1917, Woodrow Wilson’s presidency, Pietrusza not only transports readers with his dramatic portraits of TR, his hated rival Wilson, and politics in wild flux, but also poignantly chronicles the horrific price a family pays in war and so much more.

From the sublime to the ridiculous: Does the Democratic Party have an anti-Semitic problem? Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and anti-Semitism. A wall by any other name is not a wall. Did Trump or did Trump not collude with Russia? Can satire save our nation? These topics and more in our political review with Halli and veteran White House correspondent Matthew Cooper and with our guest in our second half-hour, Sophia McClennen, the author of IS SATIRE SAVING OUR NATION? MOCKERY AND AMERICAN POLITICS this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com and on all your favorite apps.

As always, Halli and Matt slice and dice the week’s political news. This week we begin with the infamous wall and the budget Congress presented to President Trump. Will he sign it? And what’s going on with the Senate Intelligence Committee? They seem to have differing points of view as to whether Trump colluded with Russia or not. Is Senator Amy Klobuchar the Dems magic candidate? Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Does Beto O’Rourke need a Valium? Has anybody looked at their tax rebates lately… and that’s just where we begin.

In our second half-hour a fun conversation with Sophia McClennen the author of IS SATIRE SAVING OUR NATION MOCKERY AND AMERICAN POLITICS. In a time when good, old-fashioned humor seems to have fallen by the wayside, satire has become the de rigeur of the day. We thought we’d take a look at satire, and that’s why we’ve invited Penn State University Professor Sophia McClennen to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show. McClennen works on the intersections between culture, politics, and society, her books focusing on cultural responses to complex social change, such as the connections between the satire of Stephen Colbert and Donald J. Trump.

From the sublime to the ridiculous. Anti-Semitism and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Kamala Harris, Executive Time, The House Intelligence Committee Report, the latest presidential contenders, Jon Stewart, SNL — these stories and more when journalists Halli Casser-Jayne and Matthew Cooper and author Sophia McClennen talk politics and humor on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com, and on all your favorite apps.
