Do Trump's Vendettas Harm Trump's Agenda?

September 29, 2025 • 73 mins
Does Donald Trump help or hurt himself by using the weapons of the presidency as personal tools for revenge? This is apart from the question of whether his doing so is simply turnabout-as-fair-play or simply an outrageous misuse of his power. Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump Gives It to the United Nations

September 25, 2025 • 71 mins
We're back from Rosh Hashanah to sing the glories of Donald Trump's controversial United Nations speech, which is only controversial because he isn't saying what the elites want him to say. And we try to make sense out of what seems like a huge shift on Trump's part in the direction of supporting Ukraine. Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are We Seeing a Religious Revival?

September 22, 2025 • 67 mins
The massive memorial for Charlie Kirk in Arizona was more of a Christian revivalist meeting than the funeral of a political figure. What does it herald for the United States? And why does the "recognition" of a non-existent Palestinian state not worry us as much as you might expect? Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Late Night With Jimmy Who?

September 19, 2025 • 74 mins
The fallout from the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel continues, with the revelation that, basically, no one watches his show—so why should Disney and ABC keep it on the air if he's more trouble than he's worth? That goes to the question of what to do when a heavy-handed government starts interfering in private business and going after someone who was exercising his free speech. The issue is more complicated than both left and right are ...

The Final Battle in Gaza

September 16, 2025 • 73 mins
Israel has gone all in to finish the war Hamas started on October 7. Batten down the hatches and watch for the anti-Semitic content.

Gaslighting and the Kirk Assassination

September 15, 2025 • 65 mins
The gyrations of people who do not want to deal with the political and ideological implications of the Charlie Kirk assassination are the chief focus of today's podcast. We also take up the question of why, if America is so "mad" at Israel for the Qatar strike, our secretary of state is in Israel praying at the Western Wall. Give a listen.

Israel's Righteous Qatar Attack

September 10, 2025 • 68 mins
Another remarkable historical turn as Israel makes it clear to Hamas leaders outside Gaza that they are not safe from the war they decided to wage against the Jewish state—an example of how Israel is changing the rules of the game in the Middle East and, as Abe says, is "redrawing the map."

Epstein and the Conspiracies

September 9, 2025 • 60 mins
So now conspiracy thinking is OK, so long as it involves Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein—that seems to be the mainstream media takeaway from the continuing focus on this admittedly compelling and disgusting story. Trump is a conspiracist, and he's made it to the top—so does that make conspiracies true? Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Crime Matters

September 8, 2025 • 65 mins

State Capitalism and the Tariffs

September 2, 2025 • 67 mins
Now that an appeals court has ruled against most of Trump's emergency tariffs, we may get some sense of how the economic future is going to be managed—once the Supreme Court weighs in. But even so, the administration's hunger to take stock positions in U.S. companies poses a different kind of threat. We talk about this and about what's about to happen in Gaza. Give a listen.
