While the Middle East seems to be in something of a holding pattern right now, the rhetoric of the Islamic forces in both Gaza and Iran continues to ramp up. Propaganda and posturing abound as their leaders scramble to show power and threat, as they are increasingly disemboweled by Israel and the United States. Top of their list of priorities: discredit and delegitimize Israel on the world stage. Sadly, that soft war is the one they continue to win.In this live conversation, Shana Meyerson talks about the double talk coming out of the mouths of Hamas and IRGC leaders.

Thousands of Iranian civilians--peacfully demonstrating--have now been massacred by their own government. And the protests defiantly continue. But for how long? Donald Trump has vowed that he is coming in, but when and how and in what capacity? How long can the people maintain momentum and will this mean the end of the regime in Iran? And if the Ayatollah and IRGC fall, does that mean a new world order? Does it mean peace? Stability? In the Middle East? And beyond...?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss what so much of the world is shamefully silent about: the civilian uprising in Iran and what it would take to make it successful.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

After an ISIS terrorist killed three US citizens (two servicemembers and a translator) in Syria, the United States retaliated in a massive way.

Yesterday in Sydney, Australia, a nightmare unfolded as two Islamist terrorists opened fire on 1000 Jews celebrating the first night of Hanukkah. Innocent victims including a Holocaust survivor and a ten-year-old girl were murdered for being Jewish in public. Without any leadership from PM Albanese, it seems such a terrorist attack was inevitable. Sydney has been festering with antimsemitism since October 7th. Now we have to ask: will the world finally wake up and step up to fight this terror? Or will we succumb to the darkness? This Festival of Light, our prayers are for conquering the darkness.In this conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the tragic massacre at Chabad's Hanukkah party in Bondi Beach and how we can win this fight for civilization.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss three topics:1. In the wake of the brutal attack on two National Guard soldiers in DC, what do we really know about the Afghan refugees who came to the West, largely unvetted, in the wake of the disastrous US military withdrawal from Afghanistan?2. How bad of an actor is Putin, really? And what cost is Trump willing to have the world pay for peace?3. Benjamin Netanyahu submitted a 111-page request for pardon. Will Herzog grant it? What is best not just for Bibi, but for the nation of Israel?Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society.

In the past week, President Trump had high-profile meetings with Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (aka MBS) and New York Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani. And then he declared "certain chapters or subdivisions" of the Muslim Brotherhoood as designated terrorist organizations.While DJT cozied up to these questionable figures, it left a lot of people asking a lot of questions. Can these men be trusted? Should they be trusted? And what does this mean for the short-term and long-term future of our nation...and the world?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the implications of the unholy alliances that seem to be popping up all over the Oval Office.

Last night at the United Nations, the U.S.-backed Resolution essentially codifying President Trump's 20-Point Peace Plan passed 13-0. Red flags are flying everywhere over what this means for Palestinian Statehood and the viability (or lack of viability) of the Gaza Plan altogether. At the heart of this controversy are Qatar and Turkey and whether, as patrons of the Hamas terrorists, they can be trusted to play a significant role in the peace-keeping effort. For Israel, that's a hard NO. But will they have the final say of what happens in their own backyard?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the UN Security Council resolution, America's uncomfortable alliances with Arab-Muslim frenemies, and what it all means for the security of the Jewish State.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society.

Now that Hamas has repeatedly broken the 20-Point Trump Peace Plan & Ceasefire in the most sadistic and savage ways, all eyes are on Israel...again...and exactly no eyes are falling on Hamas. Global scrutiny of the Jewish State is relentless and Israeli retaliation is never acceptable to the world at large. So, what will Israel do? Will they resort to a Lebanon-style Whack-a-Mole strategy or will Israel finally go in hard and and fast, now that all the live hostages are home, and finally finish the job?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the current state of the tenuous Israel-Hamas Ceasefire and what to expect from here.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

With the tenuous Gaza ceasefire in place, it's anybody's guess how long this so-called peace will last. Trump's 20-Point Peace Plan hasn't so far gotten past Phase One, as JD Vance visits Israel to keep Phase Two negotiations on track. Meanwhile in Judea and Samaria, a shadow war is being fought that very few are paying attention to. As Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority are framed as the "good guys" in all this, the truth is they are eerily similar to their Gazan rivals, Hamas.In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the often-overlooked Judea and Samaria (aka The West Bank) and a few notes about the current ceasefire.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

This morning saw the start of the highly anticipated Gaza hostage release, wherein Hamas terrorists handed the last 20 living Israeli hostages over to Israel. This is the moment that the entire Jewish State has been holding its breath for. It feels like a miracle, but there are still 28 murdered hostages yet to be released. Four will come home today, instead of 28, as agreed upon in President Donald J. Trump's 20-Point Peace Plan. Once again, the joyous holiday of Simchat Torah is marred with a devastating sadness. Israel and the Jewish People cannot rest, cannot breathe again, until all 48 hostages are home.In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss this morning's hostage release and the possiibility of real peace.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

Last week at the UN General Assembly (UNGC), there seemed to be just one item on the agenda: bashing Israel. After a week-long antisemitic session, full of double standards, lies and slanders against the Jewish State, it seemed like Israel stood alone with only the US by its side. How things change! Days later, US President Donald J. Trump presented a peace plan that the whole world basically signed on to. The whole world but Hamas, that is. Now who's standing alone?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the 2025 United Nations General Assembly and the Trump 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan that followed.
