Obama Playing 'Kick the Can,' Operation Lifeshield and Sexual Abuse in the Beis Yaakov System

9 March 2023

Did PM Benjamin Netanyahu lift part of Mottle's viral video for his speech to the US Congress, by saying that President Obama is kicking the Iranian can down the road? VOI's Mottle Wolfe makes a strong argument that he did.

Finally, Mottle discusses the controversial case of Rabbi Elimelech Meisels, who is being accused of sexual assault in the Beis Yaakov school system.
