Why Did Israel Agree?

We try to make sense out of Israel's participation in the ceasefire that began today—and which Hezbollah may already have violated. Did Israel actually want this because it needed time to recover its strength? Or did it have to agree because it needed weapons from the United States that were being withheld? Oh, and what on earth was with that weird Kamala Harris video in which she appeared to be, shall we say, not entirely sober? Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices.

The 'Ceasefire' Fetish

According to Israel, it is agreeing to a ceasefire with Hezbollah in large measure to stave off an American assault in the UN on Israel's efforts in Lebanon. We discuss what this reminds us of, why it's outrageous if indeed this is the case, and whether Israel can find a way to benefit from the pause. Also, hijinks with tariffs and fights on the patio at Mar-A-Lago! Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Trump's 'Team of UFC Fighters'

Today's podcast begins with the horrible murder of a Hasidic emissary in the UAE and the growing institutional anti-Semitism in Canada before moving on to the very interesting political dynamic emerging from the Trump picks for Cabinet and other jobs—a post-conservative-movement ideological and policy free-for-all whose winners and losers will help define the Republican Party for the rest of the century.

Jews in the Crosshairs Anew

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is Trump Ditching Gaetz Already?

Today's podcast delves into a New York Times story suggesting Donald Trump thinks Matt Gaetz will not be confirmable, or confirmed, by the Senate. What's going on here? What will Gaetz do? And what does this mean for the other nominees? Also, the effort of leading Israelis to blame Benjamin Netanyahu for the continuing hostage crisis takes an especially ugly turn. Give a listen.

dont want this game

Even when I disagree with them or think that they don’t understand what they are talking about (Covid 19 molecular biology and medicine) I enjoy listening to them for their intelligence, wit, and intellectual honesty.
Fantastic chemistry on the air

One of my favorite parts of listening is the very engaging and enriching chemistry between the commentators on a regular basis that gives it a feel of joining old friends on a daily basis for a fantastic parlor experience. Keep it up!
