What's Israel's Next Move?

What's Israel's Next Move?

2024-09-1901:02:04

Today a full house discusses how Israel might be preparing for a war in its north, whether we've mistakenly bought into recent polling about Kamala Harris's progress, the potential political effect of the Fed rate cut, and more. Give a listen.
Paging Hezbollah!

Paging Hezbollah!

2024-09-1801:08:12

Jonah Goldberg joins the podcast to discuss the amazing Israeli attack on Hezbollah operatives yesterday before going into rank punditry about the relative standings of Harris and Trump. Give a listen.
Apologia for Assassinations

Apologia for Assassinations

2024-09-1701:04:40

Today's podcast looks at the disgraceful media effort to equalize the Ohio migrant story with the Trump assassination story and what it says about the media and about us. Give a listen.
Is This 1975???

Is This 1975???

2024-09-1601:02:15

The second Trump assassination attempt conjures up memories of the period in 1975 when Gerald Ford was targeted twice in 18 days. Are we entering a period of domestic political violence similar to the one during which Ford was nearly killed? Or is 2024 different? And what will the Jewish community do to protect its own with violent assaults now happening daily? Give a listen.
Let Them Win!!!

Let Them Win!!!

2024-09-1301:13:47

Today's podcast features Eli Lake discussing with our crew the question of why America seems determined to prevent our allies in Ukraine and Israel from actually winning the wars we are actually supporting, preferring stalemate and ceasefire to victorious conclusion. Why? Give a listen.
The Gripes of Rothman

The Gripes of Rothman

2024-09-1201:22:43

Noah Rothman makes another surprise guest appearance on the podcast he founded back in 2015! It's Day Two of a conversation about the fallout from the presidential debate, which garnered a colossal audience and therefore demands a discussion about whether Donald Trump can afford not to debate a second or even third time after his loss on Tuesday. Give a listen.
EMERGENCY: The Debate

EMERGENCY: The Debate

2024-09-1101:04:56

Bad moderators. Bad candidates. Who won on points. Who won overall. Why will it matter. Will it matter? Will there be more? All questions we attempt to answer in one admittedly wild, lunatic podcast. Give a listen.
Up for Debate?

Up for Debate?

2024-09-1001:15:07

What's going to happen tonight, and how is it like Battlestar Galactica? The answer may surprise you! Give a listen.
Is Harris Stalling Out?

Is Harris Stalling Out?

2024-09-0901:05:03

The political world was strangely rocked by a New York Times/Siena poll showing Trump with a one-point national lead, 48-47—leading Democrats and the media to worry openly that her momentum is gone. We explain why that might be the case, with a stop in Pittsburgh at the most politically divisive spice store in America as the dubious location for Harris making a plea to end our polarization. Give a listen.
Walzing with Hamas

Walzing with Hamas

2024-09-0601:04:37

Donald Trump talks about the economy while Tim Walz says pro-Hamas protestors are right to protest and Israel is defending itself in the wrong way even though it supposedly has the right to defend itself. And we conclude our week-long discussion of our own Christine Rosen's very important new book, The Extinction of Experience. Give a listen.
One Jewish State

One Jewish State

2024-09-0501:18:07

Today we're joined by former U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman to discuss his plan for Israel's future as articulated in in his new book One Jewish State. Then we get into the state of the race: Trump sounds pretty good, Kamala's policies sound incoherent, and both Walz and Vance are just plain bad. Give a listen
The Blame Game

The Blame Game

2024-09-0401:09:17

Tucker Carlson and a guest of his blame Winston Churchill for World War II. Thomas Friedman blames Bibi Netanyahu for the murder of the hostages. These are just some of the outrages we discuss on today's podcast, along with a conversation around our own Christine Rosen's new book, The Extinction of Experience. Give a listen.
Philadelphi Unfreedom

Philadelphi Unfreedom

2024-09-0301:09:34

What exactly is it the protestors in Israel and the media in the United States and Joe Biden actually want out of Israel? It appears they want the country to give up the strategic high ground it holds near Gaza in pursuit of a "deal" no one really believes can be struck. We talk about that, and we talk also about our own Christine Rosen's new book, The Extinction of Experience. Pre-order it on Amazon, and give a listen.
Dan Senor joins us to take the temperature of the Israeli body politic in the wake of the heartbreaking and disgusting news involving the slaughter of six hostages in Rafah, including the American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. What will Israelis demand of their government? What can Israel do? And will the compliant media allow Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to skate lightly over this nightmare while Donald Trump seeks to fan the flames? Give a listen.
The interview, everybody! It was 27 whole minutes of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! Was it joyous? Did she become president by acclamation? We gathered in its immediate wake to provide our perspective, our grades, our sense of the vibes, and the general question of whether this was the first or the last interview she will ever sit for. Give a listen.
National polling shows Kamala Harris in the lead but battleground-state polling shows pretty much a tie between her and Donald Trump in the places that will decide the election. How to explain this, and how to explain the controversy over Trump laying a wreath at Arlington Cemetery? Give a listen.
Bashing Kamala

Bashing Kamala

2024-08-2801:19:10

Adam White joins us today to talk about the re-indictment of Donald Trump relating to January 6 and whether the new effort by the special prosecutor answers the Supreme Court's ruling earlier this summer. But first: She's being interviewed! But not alone! Why not alone? And what will interviewer Dana Bash do? Give a listen.
A full house on today's podcast shows how the press is attempting to cover for Kamala Harris's silence on issues through hilariously banal teen-fan-magazine coverage, and whether Donald Trump is now moving to take advantage of that silence. Give a listen.
Jonathan Schanzer joins us today to talk about Israel's action to prevent a massive barrage of Hezbollah missiles raining down on the Jewish state and the bizarre fact that so many are acting as though it has "escalated" a conflict that Hezbollah has been waging against Israel unilaterally since October 8—rather than staging an action that stopped or delayed a wider conflagration. Give a listen.
The Democrats had themselves a convention, they're really happy, Kamala Harris spoke for a while and did fine, the media have gone absolutely bonkers for her entirely—shall we say—conventional speech, and can she keep up being this much of a cipher until Election Day? Give a listen.

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.

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?

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

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***
