In this episode of Civil Discord, Jaffee and Phillips begin with an update on the Israeli-Palestinian situation. The conversation then turns to Biden’s effort to pass an infrastructure bill,  the unsolicited capitulation by Biden, and the role of the ever-destructive Joe Manchin. After a musical break featuring Gil Scott-Heron’s classic, “Whitey on the Moon”, in honor of Jeff Bezos, the second half is devoted to a discussion of an industrial policy bill for which there is bipartisan support, largely on the basis of anti-China cold war sentiment, and then Phillips shares some thoughts on the Fauci email revelations. The episode ends with the Jaffee sharing a “Not The Onion” piece on your “friendscape”.
