I've Been Thinking a Couple of Things

Recently, acclaimed author Ta-Nehisi Coates appeared on *CBS Sunday Morning* to promote his new pro-Palestine book, *The Message*, but found himself in the crosshairs of Tony Dokoupil's sharp questions. Smelling the controversy like a vulture drawn to rotting meat, I couldn’t resist diving in headfirst. In this episode, I break down the heated exchange, unpack the shifting dynamics of the Middle East, reflect on the twists in American policy over the past year, and share my unfiltered thoughts on what’s really going on — and where the pundits in my life are nailing it or missing the mark. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
