Eisenkot’s Dilemma

While Eisenkot stands ready to renege on his election promises and assemble a minority government with the anti-Zionist Arab parties or the ultra-Orthodox, Avigdor Lieberman is putting obstacles in his path. There are, however, surprising options that Eisenkot and his allies may yet pursue. Mike and Gadi discuss the scenarios. Also in this episode: Gadi’s inside sources explain to him how an investigation into election interference is being quashed, leaving the head of Shin Bet powerless to pursue evidence of an influx of cash from hostile state actors.

Why America Can't Quit the Middle East

This week, Walter and Bill discuss what's at stake in today's midterm elections, President Trump's announcement that US aid to Israel will end this year, North Korea's record $6 billion crypto heist at Binance, and why, despite the shale revolution and the dreams of every recent president, America can't walk away from the Middle East.

Are We Past Peak Trump?

This week, Walter and Bill discuss Anthropic's blockbuster IPO filing and its warnings about AI, reports that the US is preparing a short, intense renewal of the Iran war after the midterms, Kim Jong Un's surprise trip across a newly finished bridge into China, and whether Lula's comeback in Brazil and Vučić's defeat in Serbia mean the world has passed peak Trump.

Here Are the Possible Scenarios

The election results are a complicated, messy tie. Netanyahu’s Likud is by far the biggest party. Eisenkot’s Yashar party is not even close. Yet Netanyahu’s bloc does not have a majority. But neither does the opposing bloc. And both now have to re-chart their courses vis-à-vis the rising bloc of Arab parties. Could this mean that the rifts among the Jews will have to be transcended? Will that prospect be helped along by Trump and a possible escalation in the Gulf after the midterms? Mike and Gadi discuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Generation Conflagration: Protests in France and India

This week, Walter and Bill discuss Trump's endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu days before Israel votes, Elon Musk's throttling and alleged restoration of Ukraine's Starlink and Putin's push for a summit with Trump and Xi, the AI-discovered software flaw that knocked websites offline around the world, and why generational revolt is spreading from France to India.

Trump’s Shock and Awe Strategy

After more than 140 episodes, Jeremy Stern is stepping down as co-host, and Hudson's Bill Drexel takes his place. This week, Walter and Bill discuss the Houthis' widening missile war on Saudi Arabia, the Pentagon's plan to livestream a military execution, the fall of Kimberly Guilfoyle, and why President Trump's shock-and-awe foreign policy shows no sign of slowing down. A Houthi missile hit Saudi Aramco's headquarters days after a deadly strike on Riyadh's airport, and The Wall Street Journal reports that the group is building an advanced missile with Chinese parts. Back home, the Catholic archbishop for the military condemned the plan to stream Nidal Hasan's firing-squad execution, and Guilfoyle resigned as ambassador to Greece after reports that she asked a donor to pay her credit card bill. In the big conversation, Walter expands on his latest Journal column, "Russia, Iran and Trump's Shock-and-Awe Foreign Policy," and the tip of the week asks which president left the biggest physical mark on Washington.

“Area P”: The Palestinian Bid to Take Over Judea and Samaria

Gadi returned from an intensive tour of the ranches in Judea and Samaria – where Jewish pioneers spearhead the struggle to prevent a Palestinian take-over of the territories. Aided by the Palestinian authority, Arabs buy land and build homes on deserted hilltops for which EU money supplies infrastructures and paves roads. If Israel does not wake up it will face a Gaza-like situation in the West Bank. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
