Congress is running out of time to act as Affordable Care Act tax subsidies are set to expire at the end of the year. The move could drive up health insurance premiums for millions of Americans. Democrats pushed to extend the subsidies with a small group of House Republicans joining them. One of those Republicans, N.Y. Congressman Mike Lawler, joins the Rundown to discuss his stance on the subsidies, the state of the talks, and what comes next. The recent surge in targeted antisemitic attacks worldwide has intensified scrutiny over whether governments and institutions have helped create a permissive environment where hatred of Jews is tolerated. Have political leaders and public institutions failed to clearly and forcefully confront this trend? Dan Senor, host of the Call Me Back podcast and author of The Genius of Israel, joins the Rundown to examine the rise of antisemitism in the United States and globally, and to examine whether governments, institutions, and political leaders have tolerated a climate in which the vilification of Jews is downplayed or left unchallenged.

The resolution allows for Trump's “board of peace” to oversee multinational peacekeeping forces, Palestinian technocrats, and a local police force that would govern Gaza for a period of two years, while potentially paving a path for a Palestinian state.On Tuesday, President Trump met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman at the White House. Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office, MBS stated that Riyadh would like to join the Abraham Accords but must see a pathway toward a two-state solution. Also, Trump confirmed that the United States will sell F-35 “stealth” jets to Saudi Arabia, prompting concern from Israel's defense establishment, with the Israeli Air Force saying the deal jeopardizes Israel's air superiority.To discuss the developments unfolding with regards to Israel and the Middle East and the possibility of Palestinian statehood, Dan was joined by Ark Media contributors Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal.

A fragile but momentous ceasefire has taken effect in Israel's two year war against Hamas, following the terror group's brutal attack on October 7th. With hostages and prisoners exchanged and hostilities paused, the hard work of forging a lasting peace begins. Dan Senor, host of the Israeli news and politics podcast, “Call Me Back,” joins Preet to discuss the diplomatic negotiations and military strategy that got us here and what's next for the region. He previously served in the Defense Department based in the Middle East in the early 2000s, and later as a senior advisor to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, and Paul Ryan's vice presidential campaign. Then, Preet answers listener questions about the latest developments in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case and the unusual political message showing up at airport security checkpoints. In the bonus for Insiders, Senor addresses the prospect of military tribunals for Hamas leaders and systematic deradicalization efforts.
