Walzing with Hamas

Donald Trump talks about the economy while Tim Walz says pro-Hamas protestors are right to protest and Israel is defending itself in the wrong way even though it supposedly has the right to defend itself. And we conclude our week-long discussion of our own Christine Rosen's very important new book, [The Extinction of Experience] (https://www.amazon.com/Extinction-Experience-Being-Human-Disembodied/dp/0393241718) .

One Jewish State

Today we're joined by former U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman to discuss his plan for Israel's future as articulated in in his new book [One Jewish State] (https://www.amazon.com/One-Jewish-State-Israeli-Palestinian-Conflict/dp/1630062944/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2SU53CR9Y8M77&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2ukjGU7Pi6EicbfGPsOBwUACO6Dij4xGbnMyzt8wLjkOAXRG4zh3RZsfLGlb1FML3ShZI1n_RxwWMsYl5HbQqH90D_JXi5wBJMJZcAATvM9tuU_JXBFnDY76KirHj-Ac_COxrIvIo5YIOlYifvkd4UU_nS0l7XwBLUKFCnF7LvrGz8x5lVNxnx3vdcx68MlI0f8Hifpi1VYapjB1_ZLtCl5DHngO9k9NPTfRU4liwuOEuJxwo19sVU3hDMCDjwjPcKJWzadWbSWOxCGKyI12_HGRfHMfXRkRn5Q4Hdl5GYI.SFHHK17tB9Qe97St7ZHTgC3bHZV-4eHpBnX2-5PMVRE&dib_tag=se&keywords=david+friedman&qid=1725546512&sprefix=david+friedman%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-1) .

Philadelphi Unfreedom

What exactly is it the protestors in Israel and the media in the United States and Joe Biden actually want out of Israel? It appears they want the country to give up the strategic high ground it holds near Gaza in pursuit of a "deal" no one really believes can be struck. We talk about that, and we talk also about our own Christine Rosen's new book, The Extinction of Experience.  [Pre-order] (https://www.amazon.com/Extinction-Experience-Being-Human-Disembodied-ebook/dp/B0CTXMCHYB/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WRo9EhiMEsUO5CXjWjsc_wRkExmuP835l84LwFzruHenBPGEHVFmMNcpONOIEPReT7nkz3ufvb0nhvCyqbCobZlANiMNaqgv3wsM1Td0V-wSYy64E4DM7MK8DRjOIY4cjn8h75jKHYTWpBrNCL_GPTKNInVCMGIRXewSoTzH0MtrsXtfDhFNzAwIrsCsGEDdey-rQTzsF-Sc148qu9nWfPio8UEohhpH1LJ4-6Z__69DselsxInWJlJbHM0IZ0SUQKLamejvaleLazBiS5hhDiNB_QQFmQ3R6Am6Iadqioc.3-MF_w9HdttcPeKMvXG3EAdRho0fzL96amDUHza3_o8&dib_tag=se&keywords=christine+rosen&qid=1725374149&sr=8-1) it on Amazon, and give a listen. ...

EMERGENCY PODCAST: After the Hostage Slaughter

Dan Senor joins us to take the temperature of the Israeli body politic in the wake of the heartbreaking and disgusting news involving the slaughter of six hostages in Rafah, including the American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. What will Israelis demand of their government? What can Israel do? And will the compliant media allow Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to skate lightly over this nightmare while Donald Trump seeks to fan the flames? Give a listen. ... Read more

EMERGENCY POD: Kamala Speaks!

The interview, everybody! It was 27 whole minutes of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! Was it joyous? Did she become president by acclamation? We gathered in its immediate wake to provide our perspective, our grades, our sense of the vibes, and the general question of whether this was the first or the last interview she will ever sit for.

The Dynamics of the Jump Ball

National polling shows Kamala Harris in the lead but battleground-state polling shows pretty much a tie between her and Donald Trump in the places that will decide the election. How to explain this, and how to explain the controversy over Trump laying a wreath at Arlington Cemetery? Give a listen. ... Read more

Israel's Remarkable Military Strike

Jonathan Schanzer joins us today to talk about Israel's action to prevent a massive barrage of Hezbollah missiles raining down on the Jewish state and the bizarre fact that so many are acting as though it has "escalated" a conflict that Hezbollah has been waging against Israel unilaterally since October 8—rather than staging an action that stopped or delayed a wider conflagration.

DNC, Day Four: So She Spoke Finally
