If you thought President Trump was a shoo-in to win the Nobel Peace Prize this year, think again! This year's Noble Peace Prize went to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, despite Trump's recent involvement in a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, putting a stop to the 2-year war between the warring groups. Many supporters of Trump and those involved with the peace deal believe Trump was snubbed...but was he? Maybe it was just the timing of the voting period as a peace deal with Israel and Hamas just happened within the last day or so. Is it possible Trump may win next year's Nobel Peace Prize? What are your thoughts on the selection?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A visiting Harvard Law Professor was arrested for allegedly firing a pellet rifle outside a Brookline synagogue where congregants were marking the start of Yom Kippur. Carlos Portugal Gouvêa told police he was “hunting for rats” and not aware he lived next to a synagogue or that it was a religious holiday. While leaders at the synagogue say there is no reason to believe this was an antisemitic event, doesn't it seem common sense that you probably shouldn’t "hunt rats" openly with a BB gun without knowing your surroundings?
