Show notes

Jonathan Schanzer, author of this month's lead article, joins us to discuss Biden's visit to Israel and the seeming delay in Israel's moves to begin the war it must fight in Gaza.

Also, nepotism be damned, I recommend my father Norman Podhoretz's legendary article, "J'Accuse." Give a listen.
