Golda Meir "Corn Pop" Story, Biden's Historical Inconsistencies
President Biden recounts a story of meeting Golda Meir in 1973, claiming she told him Israel's "secret weapon" was having nowhere else to go. The hosts point out that Biden has told this story for decades, inconsistently placing it before the Six-Day War (1967) and the Yom Kippur War (1973). They label it a "Corn Pop story," suggesting it is a fabricated or heavily embellished anecdote used for political effect.
