On today's episode of The Backstory, we discussed President Biden's struggling campaign for support, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's trip to Kiev, Elon Musk suing Media Matters, and reports of Israel and Hamas coming close to a hostage ceasefire deal mediated by Qatar.
In the first hour, Rachel spoke with international relations and security analyst Mark Sleboda about Ukrainian President Zelensky's claims that Russian President Putin has tried to assassinate him multiple times. This, as Kiev appeals for more funding from its Western backers, and the Russian Defense Ministry reports that Ukraine has lost over 13,000 troops in the month of November.

The first hour also included political cartoonist, and co-host of The Final Countdown, Ted Rall. He discussed the latest rhetoric from New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who is saying "Don't yell at me, yell at DC," as the Big Apple is hit with $4 billion and counting in budget cuts, due to the migrant crisis.

In the second hour, Scott Ritter, a Former UN Weapons Inspector & WMD Whistleblower joined The Backstory to discuss the latest on Israel and Hamas nearing a hostage deal that would see each side trade dozens of women and children who are currently detained, along with a short-term ceasefire.

Also in the second hour, Jim Hoft, founder of the Gateway Pundit joined Rachel to discuss the House Judiciary subpoenaing Lesley Wolf, a deputy to special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe. Jim commented on reports that 60% of the public believe President Biden ‘helped and participated’ in Hunter Biden’s business dealings, and what the president's current approval rating could mean for his chances at staying in the White House for another four years.
