We return to daily podcasting in the wake of a horrible car-ramming-stabbing spree at a synagogue in Manchester, followed by a massive pro-terrorism demonstration right outside 10 Downing Street. The bloodlust for Jewish lives and security has only grown in the two years since October 7. Why? And how can it be stopped? Give a listen.

So the federal government has "shut down," which it really hasn't, actually, and here we go again. Or will this really be a huge showdown, given that three Democrats have already voted against it and show they don't want to play this game (another six and the shutdown ends). Also: what is this ludicrous "scoop" from human dreidel Barak Ravid about how Trump had to yell at Netanyahu to get Bibi to agree to a deal that gives Bibi everything he wants? Give a listen.

There is much to discuss about Donald Trump's historic proposal for ending the war in Gaza: how the media has reacted, what it says about the Trump administration's support for Israel, and how each of us think Hamas will respond. Give a listen.

Does Donald Trump help or hurt himself by using the weapons of the presidency as personal tools for revenge? This is apart from the question of whether his doing so is simply turnabout-as-fair-play or simply an outrageous misuse of his power. Give a listen.

The indictment of James Comey causes us to go down memory lane remembering how destructive Comey was of the good working order of law and politics in matters involving both parties. Give a listen.

We're back from Rosh Hashanah to sing the glories of Donald Trump's controversial United Nations speech, which is only controversial because he isn't saying what the elites want him to say. And we try to make sense out of what seems like a huge shift on Trump's part in the direction of supporting Ukraine. Give a listen.

The massive memorial for Charlie Kirk in Arizona was more of a Christian revivalist meeting than the funeral of a political figure. What does it herald for the United States? And why does the "recognition" of a non-existent Palestinian state not worry us as much as you might expect? Give a listen.

The fallout from the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel continues, with the revelation that, basically, no one watches his show—so why should Disney and ABC keep it on the air if he's more trouble than he's worth? That goes to the question of what to do when a heavy-handed government starts interfering in private business and going after someone who was exercising his free speech. The issue is more complicated than both left and right are willing to acknowledge. Give a listen.

1Eliana Johnson joins today's the podcast to talk about the reasons behind Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and the role of government in it before we move on to the frightening and open advocacy of anti-Semitic opinions by the woke right in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Give a listen.

Israel has gone all in to finish the war Hamas started on October 7. Batten down the hatches and watch for the anti-Semitic content. Speaking of which, watch as the anti-Semites try to claim Charlie Kirk, a prominent Christian Zionist, as one of their own. Give a listen.

The gyrations of people who do not want to deal with the political and ideological implications of the Charlie Kirk assassination are the chief focus of today's podcast. We also take up the question of why, if America is so "mad" at Israel for the Qatar strike, our secretary of state is in Israel praying at the Western Wall. Give a listen.

The changes in American society that will result from the assassination of Charlie Kirk have already been experienced by America's Jews and the ways we've had to change our lives in the wake of the explosion of anti-Semitic violence over the past decade. Give a listen.

Noah Rothman joins us to talk about political violence and the cultural atmosphere that helped lead to the assassination of a 31 year-old man in the open air of a Utah college campus. Give a listen.

Another remarkable historical turn as Israel makes it clear to Hamas leaders outside Gaza that they are not safe from the war they decided to wage against the Jewish state—an example of how Israel is changing the rules of the game in the Middle East and, as Abe says, is "redrawing the map." Give a listen.

So now conspiracy thinking is OK, so long as it involves Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein—that seems to be the mainstream media takeaway from the continuing focus on this admittedly compelling and disgusting story. Trump is a conspiracist, and he's made it to the top—so does that make conspiracies true? Give a listen.

The horrifying murder of a young woman on the light rail in Charlotte has cast a new light on the cultural and political divide relating to crime. And Russia may finally have pushed Trump to the limit. Or has it? Give a listen.

We discuss the confrontation between RFK Jr. and senators who tried to call him out on his behavior and views before wondering at the idea of changing the Department of Defense into the Department of War—and what's going on with the real war in Gaza. Give a listen.

We celebrate a triumph for COMMENTARY and for today's guest Naomi Schaefer Riley, whose article "College Board Games" exposed and brought down a program that could have continued to sneak racial preference into college admissions. Give a listen.

More and more, progressives are not only wishing their enemies dead, but making movies lionizing those who commit violence against authority figures and spreading stories about the virtues of assassination. What is this demonic impulse? Give a listen.

Its funny how you all are totally for whatever Trump does in favor of Israel and fighting antisemitism (as am I by the way) even if it is " out of the norm". However anything else is beyond the pale? Be a little less hypocritical and a little more honest.
Best ever episode.
commentator is a piece of לְחַרְבֵּן
Weak, boring, esoteric.
The constant sniffing in the background was unbearable.
xx t😢💨🌚🌚🌝
The term you're looking for to describe the activity is "LARPing" -- live-action role playing. These Gaza Glampers are pretending to be righteous champions of the oppressed.
Our Senate and Representatives are elected by WE THE PEOPLE! They work for US! Of course they should be afraid of who voted them in, that's the whole point. It isn't suppose to be a bunch of elites doing whatever they want. We the people are tired of all of this crap. Codifying 1.4 millions illegals coming in every single year and more unelected officials appointed by Biden being given more power is INSANE. The people who don't live in the DC or NY bubble are DONE with this.
You have it wrong: In 1973, Arik Sharon fought in the Sinai. His accomplishment was encircling the 3rd Egyptian army, crossing the Suez Canal, and marching on Cairo.
isw is pure propaganda
Heads need to roll, fuck them
Sigh ..the old anti-atheist trope of 'if you cease believing in God, you'll believe in anything' again. When will this tired -intellually lazy- cliché be set aside by religious people for proper consideration of what it might really like to live without belief in a God?
you're the ones crying
Kevin McCarthy needs a certain number of votes to become speaker he is not owed any vote from any individual Congressman So he should either convince the hold outs to vote for him or step the f*** down and all of the establishment republicans who walk in lock step with the democrats on more and more spending and more foreign wars can go f*** themselves
Cock sucking continued...
"Zelensky comes to town and sees who can suck his dick hardest" Spoilers... Noah
Ugh... skip!
Not my politics ..but dammit I like these folks: they're honest -and this episode (mid-term aftermath) is compelling stuff.
today on Americans imperialistic Network we have a justification for targeting and killing civilians because they say things.
