I'm in.* The bad, bad Rabbi that converted Bethany.* Bethany's oldest daughter is a settler-in-training.* Give me your most modest swimsuit, please.* John Podhoretz has strong feelings about epidurals* Having a baby, much like flying a plane, doesn't make any sense.Check out “The Mom Wars” right here on SubstackIf we don't see you, happy 4th of July!

In two weeks, on Tuesday, New Jersey voters will determine which candidates for governor will appear on the ballot in November. Last year, former President Donald Trump came within six percent of winning the Garden State, highlighting its shift toward the right. Former New Jersey Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli joins the Rundown to discuss his decision to run for governor again after losing to Governor Phil Murphy (D) in 2021. It has been nearly two years since a Supreme Court decision ended affirmative action in college admissions. Some may remember the prominent cases against Harvard and the University of North Carolina in which a 6-3 decision found that affirmative action violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley has written a book analyzing the historical context for race considerations in school admissions in his book, The Affirmative Action Myth: Why Blacks Don't Need Racial Preferences to Succeed. Riley joins the podcast to share some key lessons from his book. Plus, commentary from co-founder of the 'Mom Wars" newsletter and podcast, Bethany Mandel.

There's no way around it. Nearly everything Stigall said about the murderer of the two Jewish diplomats was sadly true. Much like the United Heath Care CEO and the list could go on for a while of American, domestic terrorists and their media sympathizers place our country in a very dangerous situation. The Trump administration is moving Heaven and Earth to try to weed out the radicalism that leads to these slaughters in American colleges and media institutions - while at the same time tacking the same issues in nations like South Africa. Ultimately, only God Himself can prevail over this kind of wickedness. It's why people like Pete Hegseth believes worship and prayer should return to the Pentagon. The brilliant Bethany Mandel - author of Stolen Youth:How Radicals are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation and "The Mom Wars" podcast and Substack joins the show to discuss. And the equally brilliant Ned Ryan tackles it too, plus Trump's massive political war chest and popularity means Republicans and some Democrats in the Senate may not be as obstinate as usual with the House version of the "big, beautiful, bill." And as always - more headlines than we have room to write! -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow -Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

Bethany Mandel, co-author of the bestselling book Stolen Youth and host of The Mom Wars podcast, joined The Guy Benson Show today to react to a major Supreme Court case that could have sweeping implications for parental rights. Mandel explained how the case centers on whether religious parents can be forced to expose their children to LGBT content in public schools, and why the broader school board system has failed to protect families with traditional values. She also noted how Randi Weingarten and KJB's stance may be inadvertently helping make the case for school choice. Listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices.

Bethany Mandel, co-author of the bestselling book Stolen Youth, joined The Guy Benson Show to discuss the heartbreaking fate of the Bibas family and the horrifying reality of Hamas's brutality and inhumanity in the face of the ongoing war in Israel. On Thursday, February 19, Hamas is expected to release the murdered bodies of Kfir Bibas (9 months old), Ariel Bibas (4 years old), Shiri Silberman Bibas (32 years old), and Oded Lifshitz (83 years old). Guy and Mandel broke down how Trump has given Netanyahu more freedom in his military decisions, why the idea of a two-state solution may be dead given Hamas's commitment to Israel's destruction, and how the media continues to sanitize Hamas's actions to downplay their true evil.
