Israelis Need to Watch 'The Godfather'

Return of the Weathermen?
Yesterday's protests in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle suggest again that the pro-Hamas Left is moving into a new and more dangerous phase, one in which they are openly chanting "Death to America" and may be readying violent acts of "resistance." The parallels to the 1960s are unmistakable. And things are only going to get more heated as Israel does what it has to in Rafah and against Iran. Give a listen.

The Iran Attack

One of my favorite podcasts
Good grief… John is getting to be such a drama queen with his over the top comments about some republicans.
Oh the irony of you lionizing Joe Lieberman a couple weeks ago and today quite adequately explaining Clinton’s hideous actions with Monica Lewinsky. Never forget the “conscience of the senate’s” role in helping Clinton get past that. Lieberman was a pretty good man, but that was his pivotal moment and I don’t think he passed that test. Susan Rosen is still the best. Very frustrating to hear you all discuss Fauci and how long it took you to come to these conclusions. Guys like Tucker Carlson, who you never miss a chance to call the worst names, was on this in 2020.. So slow for people so smart. Good discussion as usual but I know these are harrowing times especially for Jews but the hysteria around Musk was off base. He is not antisemitic. He may be anti (hard left) Semitic but many conservatives have always wondered why that group works so hard against western interests and votes the way they do. He really doesn’t understand why Rubio would join in Trump’s defense? He knows he may not be far behind. As you all said, the seal has been broken and the guys really calling the shots won’t stop with Trump. Frankly it could get to right leaning commentators at some point. Too bad it’s Trump where the line must hold but sometimes “it is what it is.” “Crushingly morose”. Great line. Hilarious. Christine Rosen is my favorite female podcaster by far Funny, smart, but doesn’t force. No, not related to her, just a big fan in Texas.
Synesthesia
I might have a rare type of synesthesia, but this podcast just sounds fat.I can’t describe it other than that.
