A reporter from MS NOW went to the Iowa State Fair to do some person-on-the-street interviews. One of the people he spoke with was Shane Foot, a three-time Trump voter who was experiencing voter's remorse.

Foot told the reporter that he felt disappointed in Trump because he didn't bring down prices and said that he was "over the Trump thing, the Trump wagon."

The reporter then asked Foot what he would say to Trump if he could talk to him directly. Foot didn't hesitate in replying, "Stop the bullshit. Make America great again, like you said. That's what I would say."

Joel Rubin ran Jewish outreach for Bernie Sanders in 2020. Before that he was a career State Department officer under Bush, and a deputy assistant secretary of state under Obama. This month he published an essay arguing that the Democratic Party is turning against the Jews--and his old boss, Bernie Sanders, is responsible for recruiting them to the party. Joel booked an hour on Amped Up--but stayed for ninety minutes.

Squirrel Hill. Rubin's from the neighborhood. Tree of Life is around the corner. His parents were at services the night before the attack.
