After Trump mug shot, there’s no turning back

Have the Democrats pushed the vendetta against Trump too far? Can Americans still trust the political system? “The Caroline Glick Show” with Caroline Glick and guest Joel Pollak, Ep. 68

With former president and current 2024 Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump now charged with more than 90 felonies in four indictments in New York, Florida, Georgia and Washington, D.C.—and with the evidence of massive corruption on the part of U.S. President Joe Biden mounting daily—it feels like America’s political system is broken.

Given the centrality of the United States to Israel’s strategic position and the outsized role it plays in the life of the Jewish state, what happens in America matters deeply to Israel.

To discuss the political and social straits the most powerful country in the world finds itself, Caroline invited Breitbart News senior editor-at-large, author and commentator Joel Pollak as the guest on this week’s “Caroline Glick Show.”

The two discuss the implications of Biden’s apparent criminality for the rest of his term and for his prospects at re-election next fall. They also debate considerations that the Republican majority in the House of Representatives now weighs as it moves towards a decision to open an impeachment inquiry against Biden.

From Biden’s apparent involvement in influence peddling with foreign governments on a massive scale through his son Hunter Biden, Caroline and Joel move to the nature of the charges leveled against Trump. They discuss their impact on Trump’s voters and his status as the frontrunner in the GOP primaries, as well as in the general election against Biden or any other possible Democratic nominee.

In the final 20 minutes of the program, Joel and Caroline talk about the cleavages and increasing sense of existential anxiety regarding the future of American society across the political divide; what stands behind it; and what it means for the future of the most powerful democracy the world has ever known.
