Alex Traiman on Life During Conflict: Bomb Shelters and Hope (11 min) | 03-18-26

CEO of Jewish News Syndicate Alex Traiman calls in live from Israel to describe Israel under sustained attack, with Iran firing ballistic missiles multiple times a day, including cluster munitions aimed at civilian population centers, alongside rocket fire from Hezbollah; he recounts repeated trips to shelters in Jerusalem, with heavier bombardment in Tel Aviv and Haifa. He explains Israel’s alert and missile-defense systems, schools moving to Zoom for 19 days, and daily life continuing despite sirens. Traiman argues most Israelis accept short-term hardship to decisively neutralize Iran’s threat, especially its nuclear ambitions, and to enable long-term regional peace.

Rich Lowry on Politics, Baseball, and Global Affairs (9 min) | 03-18-26

Editor-In-Chief of National Review Rich Lowry joins Sid for his weekly Wednesday morning appearance to talk about the World Baseball Classic, agreeing it is contrived compared with the Olympics. The conversation shifts to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s St. Patrick’s Day remarks, criticized for bringing up Gaza/Palestine and calling Israelis genocidal; Sid and Rich then address Joe Kent’s resignation and claim of “no imminent threat,” arguing threats should be confronted before becoming imminent and criticizing isolationists they say are hostile to Israel and falsely claim Trump was tricked into war, while noting most MAGA Republicans back Trump due to opposition to Iran and preventing a nuclear threat. Finally, they debate the SAVE Act and voter ID, with Lowry supporting citizenship verification but warning against eliminating the filibuster given likely lack of votes and potential future Democratic actions, and they criticize Republican opposition, especially Lisa Murkowski.

Gordon Chang on Oil, War, and Strategy (10 min) | 03-18-26

Author & Geopolitics Expert Gordon Chang joins Sid to discuss the Iran conflict and rising oil prices are financially benefiting Russia and could tilt the Russia-Ukraine war of attrition in Moscow’s favor, despite Chang saying Ukraine currently has battlefield initiative. Chang argues the U.S. should seize Russian “dark ships” and stop Iranian oil transits through the Strait of Hormuz to cut funding for Russia and Iran. He says the conflicts are interconnected in a broader global struggle against Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, and claims China is aiding Iran with intelligence and weapons, making it inappropriate for President Trump to visit Beijing, a trip Trump postponed. Chang supports Trump’s actions against Iran, citing Iran’s enriched uranium and missile capabilities, and disputes outgoing counterterrorism director Joe Kent’s claim of no imminent threat.

Jim Walden on Cockroach Gate and Mayor's Lies (10 min) | 03-18-26

Attorney Jim Walden joins Sid to discuss his investigative work claiming Mayor Mamdani and his wife misrepresented their association with a children’s book co-author accused of antisemitic remarks. Walden asks Sid about “Cockroach Gate”; Sid says he’d still apologize but feels no vindication because major Democrats and media outlets won’t cover the newer information. They discuss how long President Trump will tolerate the mayor’s criticisms while the mayor seeks federal housing money, and Sid argues the mayor’s alienation of religious groups won’t matter to supporters until financial consequences hit. Walden then details his representation of Councilwoman Vicki Paladino in a lawsuit against the City Council for allegedly singling out her speech, seeking an injunction, and announces subpoenas of Progressive Caucus members for an April 7 hearing, adding some Democrats may testify for Paladino.

Alex Pretti was shot five times in the back of the head while laying down with 5 people on top of him after being disarmed and pepper sprayed. This podcast is a disgrace for defending the tyranny of the federal state against its people.
