RSH 128 -- The Gun and the Olive Branch (11.5.2023)

Recorded October 22, 2023. This is a special episode – the first episode where Adam and Peter record in the same room! In this episode, the two discuss Las Vegas police arresting Keefe D for his involvement in the murder of late rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996. Then, for most of the episode, they discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Israel’s current war in Gaza. 

Fact check: The Central Powers of World War I were Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. Italy didn’t side with the Central Powers, even though it nominally joined the Triple Alliance in 1882.
