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.

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.

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.

Now that an appeals court has ruled against most of Trump's emergency tariffs, we may get some sense of how the economic future is going to be managed—once the Supreme Court weighs in. But even so, the administration's hunger to take stock positions in U.S. companies poses a different kind of threat. We talk about this and about what's about to happen in Gaza. Give a listen.

Both the American right and the American left are addicted to the idea that we are living in a perpetual series of emergencies that require extraordinary rather than ordinary measures to combat. This is not healthy. Give a listen.

For the second time in two years, a trans person has committed a mass shooting at a Christian school he or she attended. The mainstream media and liberal politicians seem obsessed with protecting the "trans" part of the story, but the trans part of the story may be the whole story. Give a listen.

Is there a larger cultural meaning to the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce? Does it connect somehow to Cracker Barrel ditching its redesign? And what does it all say about American happiness and connection? Give a listen.

We can't overlook the wild swings at American norms being taken by the Trump administration over the past week, from firing someone the president cannot fire at the Federal Reserve Board to sending FBI agents to the home and office of a critic to announcing a new kind of federal police force. So we don't overlook them! Give a listen.

We dive right into the Cracker Barrel rebranding kerfuffle. Is the new logo woke or just pointless? And what's really at stake? And is the FBI's raid of John Bolton's home legitimate or just a taste of Trumpian revenge? 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.
