On this week’s Dispatch Live, Kevin is joined by Daniel Pipes, historian and president of the Middle East Forum, to explain the escalation of the Houthis attacks in the Red Sea and Saudi Arabia’s attempt to exit the civil war in Yemen. Mike and David M. Drucker then discuss updates from the GOP primary and how the 2024 elections might get weird. John McCormack also makes his Dispatch Live debut to explain the state of negotiations on a package combining Ukraine aid and border security.
Plus: Our panelists react to some Christmas hot takes (no, not the Die Hard questions).
