Probably just another crazy coincidence but POTUS mentioned the mayors poll numbers going up, then states "17" then said, hmm this is getting a little bit interesting, right?.

Charles Lindbergh and Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) were prominent figures in a major ideological debate over whether the United States should intervene in World War II. FDR advocated for aiding Allied nations like Britain, while Lindbergh was a leading voice for American isolationism through the America First Committee. Their conflict was a public "war of words" that was ultimately settled by the attack on Pearl Harbor, which ended the isolationist debate.
FDR's position
Internationalism: Roosevelt believed that Nazi Germany posed an existential threat to democracy and that the U.S. should support Great Britain and other nations fighting against fascism.
Aiding the Allies: He worked to provide military aid and armaments to the Allies, arguing it was a way to defend America's interests without direct military intervention.
Lindbergh's position
Isolationism: Lindbergh and the America First Committee argued that the United States should focus on its own affairs and avoid involvement in the European war.
Skepticism of intervention: He viewed FDR's policies as a path toward war, arguing that the U.S. was becoming too invested to stay out of the conflict.
Controversial remarks: In a 1941 speech, Lindbergh famously suggested that Jewish people and the British were "agitating" for American entry into the war, a statement that was widely condemned for its antisemitic undertones and significantly damaged his reputation.
The debate and its resolution
Public conflict: The two men engaged in a public debate through speeches and public appearances. FDR privately referred to Lindbergh as a "defeatist" and "appeaser," as noted by the FDR Presidential Library & Museum.
Shift in public opinion: Lindbergh's controversial comments and the growing international crisis eventually turned public opinion against isolationism and the America First Committee.
The end of the debate: The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, definitively ended the debate and compelled the United States to enter the war, leading Lindbergh to cease his anti-war activities.
