Where Are the Arrests and Prosecutions? Jun 25, 2024

Show notes

Clear acts of violence were on display in Los Angeles on Sunday and yet we see no action by the city, the state, or the federal government to hold the violent responsible for their actions—and federal law could not be clearer on this matter. What's going on here? And why, on the cusp of his primary battle, did Rep. Jamaal Bowman effectively threaten to unleash the "South Bronx" when his district doesn't include the South Bronx? Give a listen.

They're Coming After Us in L.A. and N.Y. Jun 24, 2024

Show notes

A violent confrontation in West L.A. between Jews attempting to attend an event at a synagogue and Hamas supporters seemingly under the protection of the LAPD comes two days after a Jewish family is beset and beat up during a lower-school end-of-year celebration by another family shouting "Free Palestine"—and a day after Rep. Jamaal Bowman screams "you're gonna know who the F we are" at the likelihood of his primary defeat on Tuesday. The threats aren't just threats any longer, and American Jews are going to have to step up. Give a listen.

Why Is Biden Impeding Israel? Jun 21, 2024

Show notes

With Senators Cotton and Risch going aggressively at the Biden administration for seeming to slow down the delivery of American weaponry to Israel—all part of the aid package they supported and President Biden signed into law—we try to figure out what the strategy is here on both sides. And we apply the back hand to the "both-sidesism" of investigations into anti-Semitism and Islamophobia on campus. Give a listen.

Is Biden Sneaking Past Trump? Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

A new Fox poll and other bits of data may suggest that Joe Biden's strategy of leaning hard on the "Trump is a convicted felon" message is having some effect. No wonder, then, that liberals are so unnerved by the Supreme Court's literal deliberation in deciding whether the case against Trump for January 6 can proceed. And who will win the "worst ceasefire proposal" award? Give a listen.

Will Trump Stuff a Bean Up His Nose? Jun 19, 2024

Show notes

People who do not want Donald Trump to win the November election seem convinced he is going to do their work for him and get himself defeated, but that is not what his behavior—not to mention theirs—actually seems to suggest will happen. And what's all this nonsense about "cheapfakes"? Give a listen.

Border Bungles and Smashing Anti-Semitism Jun 18, 2024

Show notes

Danielle Pletka joins us today to discuss her landmark article, "The Anti-Semitism Money and Power Network—and How to Smash It," from the July-August issue of COMMENTARY. But before we do, we discuss the politically confusing decision by Joe Biden to grant amnesty to 1 million illegals a week after he tried to look like Mr. Tough Guy on the border. What on earth? Give a listen.

Israel's Deadly Weekend, Biden's Sad One Jun 17, 2024

Show notes

Israelis are getting killed in greater numbers as the Rafah mission continues, while Netanyahu ends the war cabinet and another Biden envoy travels to the region to "do something" about missiles striking Israel from Lebanon. Good luck. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has to be guided off stage by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton pops up at the Tonys to remind people that the kind of people who like her also like the Tonys. Give a listen.

The COVID Lies, Four Years Later Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

James B. Meigs joins us to talk about Anthony Fauci's shockingly disingenuous, and possibly perjurious, testimony before the House on the origins of COVID—as we recall and recollect the series of disastrous policies he and others enacted without consequence to themselves. And here today, from New York to D.C. to Los Angeles, it's Charlottesville 2017 every day, and the Biden people are fiddling while anti-Semitism catches fire. Give a listen.

Israel Triumphs as Hamastan Comes to D.C. Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

The contrast could not have been starker: Israel rescues hostages while demonstrators defile the park across from the White House and chant "death to America"—in Washington, D.C. Hello, Joe Robinette McFly? Anybody home? Give a listen.
