The news that the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant came the same day that 19 Democrats voted to embargo "offensive weaponry" to Israel—and a former Israeli cabinet minister was denied entry to a conference in Australia because her very presence might be "disruptive." The war against Jews is relentless and ever-morphing, and there is going to be pushback. Give a listen.

Noah Rothman joins us today to talk about presidential appointments and how to stay calm and rational as Donald Trump continues to make news at the same dizzying clip he did during his presidency.

How the RFK pick is both conventional (Trump rewarding an important endorser) and the result of radical changes in the way Americans view trusted institutions (they don't trust those institutions). But is RFK a change agent or merely an opportunistic ambulance-chaser who is taking advantage of their distrust? Give a listen.

The first appointments of the Trump administration came over the weekend, even as the incoming president was signaling his determination not to bring back two of his first-term hawks, Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo.

Eliana Johnson of the Washington Free Beacon joins the podcast as we address the horrifying news out of Amsterdam—a present-day pogrom that is taking place while anti-Semitic acts are happening across America during the same week and Israel continues to be threatened by Hezbollah and the Houthis. What connects this to the continuing fallout from the election? Immigration. And the question of who's going to be tough on Iran. Give a listen.

After Kamala Harris's concession speech, the recriminations are beginning inside the Democratic Party—and oh, are we here for it. Are they going to diagnose what went wrong honestly, or are they going to retreat to their zone of ideological comfort? Give a listen.

It's here, and Oprah and Joe Rogan and Elon Musk are all saying it'll be the last time we ever get to vote. While some of us might feel, after the past two years, like that would be a deliverance of a sort, it's the kind of rhetoric and thinking that have gotten us into this cultural and political mess. We discuss that, and all kinds of other stuff, as we wait...and wait...and wait... Give a listen.

Another nail in the coffin of Sen. Chuck Schumer's reputation for being a voice for the Jewish community was hammered yesterday by the Free Beacon with an earthquake of a story in which he seeks to bury evidence of anti-Semitism on the Columbia University campus. This leads us into a discussion of, what else, the election. Give a listen.

1We're joined today by the analyst who made the video screen and the white button down shirt into election-night legends, Steve Kornacki of NBC. Where will he be looking first next Tuesday for evidence of how the night is going to go? How many undecided voters are left? And what about "partisan gravity"? Give a listen.

A synagogue-goer is shot in Chicago over the weekend and the cops—and the media—seem unable to discern the motive of a gunman who shouted "Allahu Akbar." Why would this be the case? And why is the New York Times trying to talk people into feeling hopeful about Kamala Harris's chances with an article that offers no evidence they should have such hope? Give a listen.

Dan Senor joins us to discuss Israel's strike on Iran this weekend. We also talk about the media meltdown over endorsements, Trump's Madison Square Garden rally, and why Michelle Obama thinks attacking men for being full of rage is a winning political strategy. Give a listen.

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.
Noah is such a neo con piece of shit. "Russia blew up the pipeline because NATO suggests though doesn't say explicitly that they did?" well I guess that's justification for World War 3 because Russia blew up their own f****** pipeline, that cost billions of by the way, for some silly false flag narrative? well maybe but an intelligent person would think huh is there any other country that might have motive to do this, like the country they're currently at war with maybe, and perhaps we shouldn't jump to conclusions? but again the truth doesn't matter to a neocon piece of s***
what a bunch of brain dead djangoistic nonsense.
Noah and J-Pod were on the opposite sides of how I would have predicted.
it wasn't a raid because they had a warrant? how do you think police raids work you f****** Muppet?
it's all Trumps fault apparently...
