    Pssst.. Mamdani Just BANNED This in NYC Schools Sep 08, 2026
    Show notes

    President Donald Trump is warning that China “could not be happier” with America’s growing anti-data-center movement.

    Why would China care where Americans build data centers? And could the fights happening right now over AI, energy and even what children are allowed to use in schools help determine whether America or China controls the next technological era?

    Erin Molan sits down with Michael Broukhim, Partner at Deep33, for a fascinating conversation about the global AI race and why he believes the stakes go far beyond ChatGPT.

    Broukhim explains why data centers, chips and massive amounts of energy are the physical infrastructure behind artificial intelligence — and why slowing their development could have enormous consequences for America’s competition with China.

    They also examine Israel’s extraordinary role in the AI and defense-tech race, how lessons from the wars in Israel and Ukraine are accelerating drone and battlefield technology, and why private companies like SpaceX and Anduril are increasingly building capabilities once considered the exclusive domain of government.

    Then comes one of the starkest contrasts of the conversation:

    New York City is restricting student-facing generative AI through middle school, while Israel is moving aggressively to integrate AI into education.

    Michael explains why he believes AI is coming whether governments and schools like it or not — and why the countries that learn to use it intelligently may have an enormous advantage over those that try to hold it back.

    America vs. China. Donald Trump. AI data centers. Zohran Mamdani. Israel. Artificial intelligence in schools. The next great geopolitical competition may already be happening all around us.

    Michael Broukhim is a Partner at Deep33, a deep-tech venture fund focused on the U.S.-Israel technology corridor.

    America, Meet the Democrats NEW Kamala Harris! Sep 07, 2026
    Show notes

    America, meet the Democrats’ “new Kamala Harris.”

    Erin Molan opens the show reacting to Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton and a campaign appearance that leaves Erin asking what exactly is going on.

    Then the episode turns to Michigan politics, as Erin reacts to Abdul El-Sayed’s comments about America’s “cult of hard work” and Sen. Elissa Slotkin campaigning alongside him. Erin argues that disagreements within a political party are one thing, but fundamental disagreements over values are another.

    And finally, Tucker Carlson takes center stage.

    Erin reacts to Carlson’s latest comments about America and the West, the increasingly strange political overlap she sees between elements of the populist right and progressive left, and what she considers a glaring double standard in how inflammatory comments are treated depending on who makes them.

    From Amy Acton and Abdul El-Sayed to Elissa Slotkin and Tucker Carlson, Erin breaks down another wild week in American politics.

    The Woman Who CONFRONTED Mamdani REVEALS What Cameras DIDN'T Show! Sep 07, 2026
    Show notes

    The woman at the center of the viral Zohran Mamdani confrontation is speaking out.

    Stephanie Benshimol joins Erin Molan to reveal what happened inside a Jewish bookstore in Borough Park, New York City, what led her to confront Mamdani, what happened around the moment that went viral, and what viewers may not have seen in the original clip.

    Stephanie explains how what began as a normal shopping trip before Rosh Hashanah suddenly turned into a face-to-face encounter with Mamdani. She also tells Erin about her previous encounters with him, why she decided to speak up, and how she felt watching members of the Jewish community welcome him inside the store.

    The conversation goes much deeper than one viral video.

    Stephanie discusses rising antisemitism in New York City, her connection to Israel and the Jewish people, her concerns for her daughter's safety as she prepares for college, and why she says she refuses to be driven out of the city she calls home.

    She also responds to the bookstore's explanation of Mamdani's visit and delivers the message she wishes she could say directly to him.

    21 Years of Interviews.. I've NEVER Heard an Answer This Good About Washington Sep 06, 2026
    Show notes

    If roughly 90% of Americans agree that only U.S. citizens should vote, why isn’t Washington — and specifically the Senate — fixing it?

    That question produced what Erin Molan calls the single greatest answer she has received in 21 years of television interviews.

    Jack Tomczak, Vice President of Outreach for Americans for Citizen Voting, joins The Erin Molan Show to explain a part of the U.S. voting system many Americans may not realize exists: non-citizens can legally vote in certain local elections, including in Washington, D.C.

    Tomczak explains why Americans for Citizen Voting is pushing for a constitutional amendment explicitly reserving voting in federal elections for U.S. citizens, why he believes the current constitutional framework leaves a major loophole, and how the effort relates to President Donald Trump’s SAVE America Act.

    But then Erin asks the question that changes the entire interview:

    If this is really a 90-10 issue with overwhelming public support, why are politicians in Washington so reluctant to actually get it done?

    Jack pauses.

    And gives Erin an answer she says she may remember forever.

    They also discuss citizenship, election integrity, non-citizen voting, Congress, the U.S. Senate, the SAVE America Act and what Americans can do if they want lawmakers to act.

    Mamdani CONFRONTED At Jewish Shop In NYC He Didnt Get The Reaction He Expected Sep 03, 2026
    Show notes

    THIS is The REVEAL: What REALLY happened to Mamdani inside NYC Jewish shop

    In this episode, I look at Zohran Mamdani’s visit to a Jewish shop in New York City — and why, after years of dangerous rhetoric about Israel and the Jewish people, he should not be surprised when many Jews refuse to welcome him with open arms.

    I also explain why trying to appease people who demonize Jews never works, why Cenk Uygur’s latest moment on Piers Morgan gave us some admittedly petty entertainment, and why Tom Homan’s Operation Rotten Apple shows exactly what serious border enforcement looks like.

    And finally, a father whose daughter was left permanently disabled by an illegal immigrant delivers a powerful message to leaders who failed to protect their own people, the Tyler Robinson trial moves forward with the death penalty on the table, Charlie Kirk’s legacy is once again smeared by people pretending kindness is hate, and Keir Starmer prepares to take his failure on the road — possibly all the way to the United Nations.

    What Do the LEAKED JD Vance Tapes Tell Us About Tucker... and 2028 Sep 03, 2026
    Show notes

    What do the LEAKED JD Vance tapes from the Republican Jewish Coalition event actually tell us about Tucker Carlson, the GOP and the race for 2028?

    In this episode, Erin plays nearly three minutes of leaked audio from Vice President JD Vance’s off-the-record appearance at the Republican Jewish Coalition before sitting down with Professor Jeffrey Lax to unpack what Vance said — and just as importantly, what he did not say — when asked about Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and antisemitism.

    Lax argues that Vance’s response raises a much bigger question about where the Vice President stands politically, who is shaping the post-Trump Republican movement, and what all of this could mean if Vance runs for president in 2028.

    Erin and Professor Lax also discuss the RJC’s reaction to Vance, Norm Coleman’s “re-endorse” comment, whether Tucker Carlson could ever have a role in a future Vance administration, Donald Trump’s own public criticism of Tucker, and why Vance has remained far more reluctant to draw a clear line.

    The conversation then widens to the Brad Lander moment in New York, Hasan Piker, the politics of antisemitism on both the left and right, and Lax’s theory about the political relationships surrounding Vance and Carlson — including Don Jr., Lara Trump and Omid Malik.

    Watch the full conversation and decide for yourself: what do these leaked tapes really tell us about JD Vance, Tucker Carlson and 2028?

    Trump Jsut Called on Iranian to 'Rise Up and FIGHT' - Signaling The End is Near Sep 02, 2026
    Show notes

    Donald Trump has now told the Iranian people to “rise up and fight” as he declares Iran’s economy is collapsing and says the United States has “almost total control” of the Strait of Hormuz.

    Is this the biggest turning point in the Iran war yet?

    Rabbi Pesach Wolicki joins Erin Molan to explain why he believes the Iranian regime is panicking, why Iran’s latest actions around the Strait of Hormuz may have accidentally revealed just how much leverage Tehran has lost, and why Trump’s dramatic shift away from negotiations toward openly encouraging the Iranian people to rise up could signal a major new phase of the war.

    Wolicki also explains how he reads Iranian state media to identify what the regime is trying to hide, the tanker story he suspected was propaganda before CENTCOM disputed the Iranian account, and why he believes the Islamic Republic may now be on a path toward collapse.

    But there is one major question still unanswered: if Iranians return to the streets, will the United States or Israel actually protect them from the IRGC and Basij?

    Later, Erin and Rabbi Wolicki turn to JD Vance, Tucker Carlson and the future of the Republican Party. Wolicki explains why he does NOT expect Vance to distance himself from Tucker’s political movement, why he believes Vance is a true believer in that worldview, and why Republicans could face a major decision heading toward 2028.

    The ULTIMATE HUMILIATION - Team TRUMP Destroy CARNEY'S CANADA Sep 01, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode, I look at President Trump’s major Venezuela oil deal, why critics screaming “colonialism” are ignoring the fact that China was already taking the lion’s share of Venezuelan oil, and why securing energy while weakening Xi Jinping’s influence is a win for America and for Venezuela.

    I also explain why Maduro still deserves to face justice, why two things can be true at once, and why those who had no problem with China draining Venezuela’s resources have no credibility now that America is stepping in.

    And finally, Scott Bessent dismantles Mark Carney and Canada’s trade position, JD Vance fires back after Abdul El-Sayed drags his wife Usha into the debate, El-Sayed once again exposes how unprepared and anti-American he really is, Randy Fine reminds Republicans why his warnings aged so well, and the pressure grows on Vance — and every Republican — to finally make clear where they stand on Tucker Carlson.

    Former IDF Soldier BLOWS UP The Entire Israel-Lebanon "Peace Deal" Narrative Aug 31, 2026
    Show notes

    Everything you thought you understood about Lebanon, Hezbollah, Israel and the U.S. is about to be challenged.

    David Daoud, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) and one of the leading experts on Lebanon and Hezbollah, joins Erin Molan for a conversation that completely upends the conventional narrative surrounding Lebanon and the much-discussed Israel-Lebanon “peace deal.”

    And Daoud isn’t approaching this from a distance. He tells Erin that he served in the IDF and fought Hezbollah himself.

    So why does he believe Washington and Jerusalem may be misunderstanding Lebanon?

    Daoud explains why Hezbollah cannot simply be dismissed as a foreign Iranian occupation of Lebanon, why significant Lebanese Shiite support for Hezbollah matters enormously, and why Lebanon’s unique political system makes disarming Hezbollah far more complicated than many Western observers suggest.

    He also challenges the way the recent U.S.-backed Israel-Lebanon arrangement is being described.

    His message is blunt: stop calling it a “peace deal” when the Lebanese themselves aren’t calling it one.

    Erin and David also discuss Marco Rubio’s approach to Lebanon, Iran’s relationship with Hezbollah, how Hezbollah finances itself, the Lebanese government’s willingness and ability to confront the group, Resolution 1701, and whether Washington is mistaking temporary quiet for genuine peace.

    Could this agreement actually create lasting stability between Israel and Lebanon?

    Or are Washington and Jerusalem repeating the same mistakes that could leave another generation fighting the exact same war?

    David Daoud is a Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies focused on Lebanon, Hezbollah and Israel.
