Dems Want CLINTONS to Lead Middle East Peace? Babies Dying Without Electricity at Gaza Hospital

·1 hr 28 min·5 clips

Jordan Sheridan argues Biden is "plenty evil" while warning Trump would be "truly dangerous" if reelected.

Jordan Sheridan opens the stream by saying he has been away because he has been grinding on a book about the Flint water cover-up. He says the early manuscript is done and that he has been juggling reporting, research, source calls, and writing all at once. The segment then shifts into politics. Sheridan reads from a Politico report saying Democrats think the way for Biden to turn this around is to lean on familiar establishment figures, including Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Rahm Emanuel, and Bill and Hillary Clinton. He spends time on the idea that the Clintons could be brought in as a final mission or capstone to their public lives. Then he pushes back. Sheridan brings up Hillary Clinton's comments on the 2006 Palestinian election, where she said the U.S. should not have pushed for that vote and should have done something to determine who won. He cites the Observer reporting around that tape. The point is not nostalgia or trivia. For Sheridan, the history matters because it shows the same political operators being asked to clean up a mess they helped create. He keeps the focus on Gaza and on the human cost sitting under the headline. Sheridan uses that frame to argue that elite Democratic fixers are not a neutral solution. The live setup lets him react in real time to the article's language. He reads, interrupts, and corrects. The result is less polished essay than desk-side indictment, which fits the material. The segment also keeps circling back to the broader message that establishment Democrats are still trying to recycle the same names and the same logic. Sheridan treats that instinct as part of the scandal, not the remedy. He talks as if the audience is watching the source material with him, not waiting for a neat summary. The mood stays sharp throughout. He is annoyed by the article, skeptical of the political class it describes, and openly hostile to the idea that Clinton-era power is a fresh answer to a Gaza catastrophe. The live format gives him room to hit the same point from a few angles without smoothing it over. By the end, the episode has turned one Politico item into a wider argument about elite memory, foreign-policy hypocrisy, and the cost of putting familiar insiders back on the stage.
