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

Keep Your Powder Dry

Noah Rothman joins us today to talk about presidential appointments and how to stay calm and rational as Donald Trump continues to make news at the same dizzying clip he did during his presidency. Oh, and why it's comical that liberals are now claiming they don't have a social-media platform they can dominate. Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why He Picked RFK

How the RFK pick is both conventional (Trump rewarding an important endorser) and the result of radical changes in the way Americans view trusted institutions (they don't trust those institutions). But is RFK a change agent or merely an opportunistic ambulance-chaser who is taking advantage of their distrust? Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Neocon Trump?

The selections of Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz, and Elise Stefanik to senior foreign-policy posts in the incoming administration offer significant signals that Trump 2 is not going to follow the neo-isolationist hopes and dreams of the Tucker Carlson crowd.

….but Matt Continetti has single-handedly ruined the podcast. He is simply incapable of shutting up. He takes up all the air and interrupts everyone. This has left Abe and Christine as essentially silent. Here’s a newsflash, Matt: you are not nearly as interesting as you think. And stop laughing at everything you say. It’s an incredibly irritating habit. Better yet - do us all a favor and just quit the podcast.

Get rid of ads in Spanish. This is America, and to have a united country, all foreigners need to assimilate and learn to speak English. That is our national language. Have we not learnt anything from Europe and their troubles that originate from parallel societies?! Forego the revenue from such ads, otherwise you are supporting such societal division.
