This morning in Gaza, in a ceremony that was even more twisted than those that came before it, Hamas paraded four coffins, containing the dead bodies of four hostages who were killed in captivity, before handing them over to the Red Cross. Israel then received the remains of Oded Lifshitz, an 83-year-old peace activist abducted from his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz; and the bodies of the iconic young mother Shiri Bibas, and her boys, Kfir and Ariel, who were respectively 9 months old and 4 years old at the time of their abduction, also from Nir Oz, which lost a quarter of its residents on October 7, 2023. Shiri, Kfir and Ariel came to symbolize Hamas's brutality and the helplessness of the victims of October 7. Oded was also a symbol of the many men and women who had dedicated their lives to seeking peace with the Palestinians, and whose lives were brutally ended by Palestinians on that darkest of days. In a year of somber days, today is one of the more difficult ones we have experienced - here at Call Me Back, and as a nation. We are joined today to process this wrenching moment by a Call Me Back favorite: Matti Friedman, to help us understand what this day means for Israel, and how it will change us and the stories we tell ourselves about Israel and our hopes for peace. Matt Friedman is an award-winning journalist and author of four books. He is based in Jerusalem, and writes a column for The Free Press. Read his latest, “The Family That Never Came Home,” here: https://www.thefp.com/p/matti-friedman-the-bibas-shiri-kfir-ariel-yardenMatti's books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Matti-Friedman/author/B0073YU31CLink to Seth Mandel's article in Commentary Magazine, mentioned by Dan in this episode: https://www.commentary.org/seth-mandel/the-meaning-of-kfir-bibas/We would like to take this opportunity to thank Rebecca Strom, who has been running Ark Media's operations almost since the beginning of the war, and is now moving on to the next chapter in her career.

Townhall Review – February 8, 2025

In Episode 396 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Christine Rosen about her book, “Extinction of Experience: Being Human in a Disembodied World,” which explores the cultural and emotional shifts that accompany our embrace of technology and its effects on our experience of life as embodied human beings. Christine is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where she focuses on American history, society and culture, and technology and human behavior. Rosen is also a monthly columnist for Commentary Magazine, one of the cohosts of the popular Commentary Podcast. Demetri and Christine spend the first hour of their conversation focused on the philosophical and moral questions that arise from our unreserved embrace of virtual realities and mediated experiences. They explore questions about the nature of reality, how embodiment shapes experience, and whether the virtualization of our lives is the natural progression of our interplay with technology or if it represents something fundamentally different and profoundly immoral about the world we are building. In the second hour, Kofinas and Rosen discuss the effect that these technologies and the logic that animates them have on our sense of self, agency, and freedom. They explore how time spent inside virtual spaces hosted on large tech platforms may be contributing to the rising levels of depression, anxiety, antisociality, and other mental and personality disorders that we may or may not recognize in each other and in ourselves. They also discuss what can and should be done, both at an individual and societal level, to begin to address the problem.

The indispensable Eli Lake — contributing editor at Commentary Magazine and staff writer and podcaster at The Free Press — returns to the pod to mark the destruction of mass murderer and DSA heartthrob Hasan Nasrallah along with the top brass of his terror gang in Beirut this weekend. This leads to a discussion about the nature of warfare and the importance of escalation, the inanity of American media, and also what the decline of norms in the Roman Republic portends for the future of the American experiment.

Townhall Review - September 28, 2024 Hugh Hewitt turns to Florida Congressman Mike Waltz to discuss Israel's overnight attack on Hezbollah, severely damaging its missile fleet and raising questions about a potential conflict with Iran.  Joe Piscopo questions retired General Jack Keane about the possibility of U.S. troops being used in a potential ground war in the Middle East.  John Solomon and Michael Oren discuss Israel's preparation for possible ground action in Southern Lebanon. Oren also criticizes the lack of consequences for Hezbollah's violations of UN resolutions and questions the conditional nature of U.S. support for Israel. Tony Perkins, host of “This Week on the Hill” talks with former Secretary of State under Trump, Mike Pompeo, about the Middle East's shift from peace under the Abraham Accords during Trump's tenure to chaos under the Biden administration. Victor Davis Hanson explains that Israel has decisively disrupted Hezbollah's operations by taking out its leadership and destroying its missile launchers. He emphasizes that Israel is showing strength and resilience against Hezbollah and Iran, leaving their adversaries uncertain about escalating the conflict further. Seth Leibsohn invites Seth Mandel of Commentary Magazine to discuss Leon Panetta's controversial comments labeling Israel's pager plot against Hezbollah as terrorism. They argue that targeting enemy communication systems is a legitimate, time-honored strategy in warfare.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today’s podcast does not look favorably on chin-scratching arguments about how the beeper and walkie-talkie attacks against Hezbollah somehow violate the “laws of war.” Also, what’s with attacking pollsters for reporting poll results you don’t like? Give a listen.

Aside from Oprah having a Kamala lovefest, the political story of the day involves attacks on Donald Trump’s words about American Jews. These attacks seem peculiarly related to polling showing the Republican candidate making startling inroads into the Jewish vote, which could have a significant impact in the key state of Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, actual anti-Semitic […]

Today a full house discusses how Israel might be preparing for a war in its north, whether we’ve mistakenly bought into recent polling about Kamala Harris’s progress, the potential political effect of the Fed rate cut, and more. Give a listen.

Jonah Goldberg joins the podcast to discuss the amazing Israeli attack on Hezbollah operatives yesterday before going into rank punditry about the relative standings of Harris and Trump. Give a listen.

Today’s podcast looks at the disgraceful media effort to equalize the Ohio migrant story with the Trump assassination story and what it says about the media and about us. Give a listen.

The second Trump assassination attempt conjures up memories of the period in 1975 when Gerald Ford was targeted twice in 18 days. Are we entering a period of domestic political violence similar to the one during which Ford was nearly killed? Or is 2024 different? And what will the Jewish community do to protect its […]

Today’s podcast features Eli Lake discussing with our crew the question of why America seems determined to prevent our allies in Ukraine and Israel from actually winning the wars we are actually supporting, preferring stalemate and ceasefire to victorious conclusion. Why? Give a listen.

Meghan welcomes two guests: V Spehar, the dynamic host of American Fever Dream and the creator of the viral Under the Desk News, and Christine Rosen, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and co-host of the Commentary Magazine podcast. Christine dives deep into the societal impacts of technology replacing real-world experiences and the far-reaching implications of her research, sharing both the most hopeful and troubling findings. Meanwhile, Meghan and V tackle the latest political debate, unpacking the chaotic performances, conspiracy theories, and viral moments that are shaping today's political landscape. From the unpredictable rise of Vice President Kamala Harris to the controversial "childless cat lady" narrative, Meghan and V explore voter behavior shifts, the power of endorsements, and what's ahead for the 2024 election.

Noah Rothman makes another surprise guest appearance on the podcast he founded back in 2015! It’s Day Two of a conversation about the fallout from the presidential debate, which garnered a colossal audience and therefore demands a discussion about whether Donald Trump can afford not to debate a second or even third time after his […]

Bad moderators. Bad candidates. Who won on points. Who won overall. Why will it matter. Will it matter? Will there be more? All questions we attempt to answer in one admittedly wild, lunatic podcast. Give a listen.

What’s going to happen tonight, and how is it like Battlestar Galactica? The answer may surprise you! Give a listen.

The political world was strangely rocked by a New York Times/Siena poll showing Trump with a one-point national lead, 48-47—leading Democrats and the media to worry openly that her momentum is gone. We explain why that might be the case, with a stop in Pittsburgh at the most politically divisive spice store in America as […]

Donald Trump talks about the economy while Tim Walz says pro-Hamas protestors are right to protest and Israel is defending itself in the wrong way even though it supposedly has the right to defend itself. And we conclude our week-long discussion of our own Christine Rosen’s very important new book, The Extinction of Experience. Give […]

Today we’re joined by former U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman to discuss his plan for Israel’s future as articulated in in his new book One Jewish State. Then we get into the state of the race: Trump sounds pretty good, Kamala’s policies sound incoherent, and both Walz and Vance are just plain bad. Give […]

Tucker Carlson and a guest of his blame Winston Churchill for World War II. Thomas Friedman blames Bibi Netanyahu for the murder of the hostages. These are just some of the outrages we discuss on today’s podcast, along with a conversation around our own Christine Rosen’s new book, The Extinction of Experience. Give a listen.

What exactly is it the protestors in Israel and the media in the United States and Joe Biden actually want out of Israel? It appears they want the country to give up the strategic high ground it holds near Gaza in pursuit of a “deal” no one really believes can be struck. We talk about […]

Dan Senor joins us to take the temperature of the Israeli body politic in the wake of the heartbreaking and disgusting news involving the slaughter of six hostages in Rafah, including the American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. What will Israelis demand of their government? What can Israel do? And will the compliant media allow Kamala Harris and […]

The interview, everybody! It was 27 whole minutes of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! Was it joyous? Did she become president by acclamation? We gathered in its immediate wake to provide our perspective, our grades, our sense of the vibes, and the general question of whether this was the first or the last interview she […]

National polling shows Kamala Harris in the lead but battleground-state polling shows pretty much a tie between her and Donald Trump in the places that will decide the election. How to explain this, and how to explain the controversy over Trump laying a wreath at Arlington Cemetery? Give a listen.

Adam White joins us today to talk about the re-indictment of Donald Trump relating to January 6 and whether the new effort by the special prosecutor answers the Supreme Court’s ruling earlier this summer. But first: She’s being interviewed! But not alone! Why not alone? And what will interviewer Dana Bash do? Give a listen.

A full house on today’s podcast shows how the press is attempting to cover for Kamala Harris’s silence on issues through hilariously banal teen-fan-magazine coverage, and whether Donald Trump is now moving to take advantage of that silence. Give a listen.

Jonathan Schanzer joins us today to talk about Israel’s action to prevent a massive barrage of Hezbollah missiles raining down on the Jewish state and the bizarre fact that so many are acting as though it has “escalated” a conflict that Hezbollah has been waging against Israel unilaterally since October 8—rather than staging an action […]

The Democrats had themselves a convention, they’re really happy, Kamala Harris spoke for a while and did fine, the media have gone absolutely bonkers for her entirely—shall we say—conventional speech, and can she keep up being this much of a cipher until Election Day? Give a listen.

Mark Halperin joins us to discuss Tim Walz’s speech, Bill Clinton’s rasp, Oprah Winfrey as childless cat lady, and whether the vibes are just getting too vibey. Give a listen.

We dive deep into the visuals, music, and pageantry of the second day of the Democratic National Convention. Killer speeches by Doug Emhoff and Michelle Obama! Barack, condescending to Joe Biden and pretty much everybody else in America! And the best roll call of the states ever! Give a listen.

There was yelling, chanting, attacking, and speechifying. It was the first night of the Democratic National Convention. How do we think it went for Kamala Harris? And what do we make of Joe Biden’s late-night farewell? We agree a little, disagree a little—and, yes, we complain. Give a listen.

Today’s podcast previews the Democratic convention, with a focus on media slavishness, whether the Democrats are now high on their own supply, and why history suggests they should not be so confident that Kamala Harris will hit it out of the park when she speaks on Thursday. Also: Some questions we’d like to see answered. […]

We’re back with a normal podcast in which we discuss Donald Trump’s “press conference,” Kamala Harris’s “economic proposals,” and the negotiations over a “hostage deal,” and Minouche Shafik’s “resignation.” Give a listen.

John and Abe talk about what goes into putting together an issue of COMMENTARY, using the July/August issue as an example. From the commissioning of articles to the editorial and production stages to the practical constraints of print and the kind of decisions that shape each issue—it’s all covered. Give a listen.

In this podcast, we talk about works of science fiction that have meant a lot to us, whether short stories or novels. Give a listen.

Today we talk about our favorite memoirs and the effect they’ve had on us. Give a listen.

Today we discuss speeches—historical, modern, American, or otherwise—that have had particular significance for each of us. Give a listen.

Today’s podcast evaluates the Trump press conference yesterday and whether he met the moment, and considers whether things have taken a potentially startling turn in the Middle East. Give a listen.

Eli Lake joins us to take the temperature of the Tim Walz Era—are the stories about his service dangerous for him or dangerous for Republicans who want to use them? And what about Kamala Harris’s engagement at a rally with pro-Hamas protestors—did that go well for her or does it suggest trouble ahead? Give a […]

Mark Halperin joins us today to evaluate the introduction of Veep candidate Tim Walz and the question of the role of Jewishness or his lack thereof in his selection. And what is Donald Trump doing, exactly? Give a listen.

Dan Senor joins us to discuss the Democratic VP pick and what it says about the party and its vanguard and what it means to be a Jewish Democrat in 2024. Also, is there a reason to think the impending Iranian response to Israel won’t be as horrifying as many fear? Give a listen.

Two guests today, for the first time on the COMMENTARY podcast! Jonathan Schanzer joins to talk about the Middle East and David Bahnsen joins to talk about the bad day in the market and what it portends. Give a listen.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- On Friday, Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe held a press conference to address the agency's failures on July 13th in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania when former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated at a campaign rally. Rowe stated: “The Secret Service takes full responsibility for the tragic events of July 13th.” He continued: “In no way should any state or local agency supporting us in Butler on July 13th be held responsible for a Secret Service failure.” 3:15pm- Secret Service Whistleblower's Damning Allegations: Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics writes: “Just days after Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe denied playing a direct role in rejecting repeated requests for added security measures and assets for former President Trump, whistleblowers have come forward refuting those claims and blaming Rowe for some of the agency's security failures that led to the July 13 assassination attempt that nearly killed Trump and left rallygoer Corey Comperatore dead and two others wounded. Other whistleblowers are coming forward citing more systemic problems with the Secret Service, the vaunted agency whose primary job is to protect presidents, vice presidents and former presidents and their families. Those deep-seated long-term problems include nepotism and other non-merit-based favoritism, lowering standards and cutting corners in hiring – including failure to pass polygraph tests and accepting past hard drug use, retaliation for voicing security and other concerns, as well as uneven disciplinary action.” You can read Crabtree's full report here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/08/02/secret_service_whistleblowers_acting_chief_cut_security_assets__151382.html 3:40pm- Eli Lake—Reporter for The Free Press, Contributing Editor for Commentary Magazine, & Host of the Re-Education Podcast—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “President Biden: Stand Up for the Venezuelan People.” You can read the article here: https://www.thefp.com/p/biden-stand-up-for-the-venezuelan-people

Voting began on Thursday, though the DNC will hold its convention from August 19th to 22nd in Chicago, Illinois. 4:15pm- On Friday, Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe held a press conference to address the agency's failures on July 13th in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania when former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated at a campaign rally. Rowe stated: “The Secret Service takes full responsibility for the tragic events of July 13th.” He continued: “In no way should any state or local agency supporting us in Butler on July 13th be held responsible for a Secret Service failure.” While taking questions from reporters, Rowe awkwardly dodged whistleblower allegations that claimed he was responsible for directing cuts to threat assessment procedures used prior to staged events. 4:30pm- Brett Eagleson—President of 9/11 Justice—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss news that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a key organizer of the September 11th terror attacks, has reached a plea agreement with the United States government and will not be sentenced to death. Eagleson also shines light on allegations that the terrorists responsible for the attacks, which left 2,976 people dead, may have received assistance from the Saudi government. You can learn more about the 9/11 Justice group here: https://www.911justice.org 4:40pm- JD Vance Mocks Josh Shapiro: Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance hilariously referred to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as someone doing a bad impersonation of former President Barack Obama. Shapiro responded by calling Vance a “phony baloney.” 5:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly— Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show. Has the Olympics gone woke? Italian female boxer Angela Carini was forced to surrender after one punch from Algerian Imane Khelif during their Olympics bout earlier this week. Khelif had previously been disqualified from participating in women's boxing competitions after testing revealed Khelif possessed XY chromosomes. Why was Khelif permitted to compete? You can order Dr. Reilly's newest book here: https://a.co/d/7aYtYwN 5:40pm- Aggregate polling collected by The Washington Post shows Donald Trump still leads in key swing states Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia—and he is tied with Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania. However, if polls are underestimating Trump's support (like they did in 2020 & 2016), WaPo's data estimates Trump is up in every swing state—and by a pretty substantial margin. PLUS, JD Vance crushes diet Mountain Dew during a Newsmax interview, Mark Zuckerberg apologizes to Trump, and did the Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker just leak Kamala Harris' VP pick? 6:05pm- Women Don't Want Shapiro: Mary Ann Akers—Deputy Washington Bureau Chief for The Daily Beast—reports: “Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is the betting favorite to be No. 2 on the Democratic ticket, but his involvement in a sexual harassment coverup may tank his chances. The issue has come to a head, with a little known women's rights organization urging Vice President Kamala Harris to think twice. In a headline blaring: ‘Gov. Shapiro's Failures Enabled Sexual Harassment,' the National Women's Defense League said in a statement that the Harris vetting team should ‘consider the handling of past complaints of sexual harassment inside the Pennsylvania Governor's office.' The group claims to be a nonpartisan organization dedicated to preventing sexual harassment.” You can read the full article here: https://www.thedailybeast.com/womens-group-to-harris-dump-shapiro-over-sex-case-cover-up 6:30pm- Rich is actually HERE on a summer Friday…but he reveals he may not be here next Friday… 6:35pm- While answering a question from the press for seemingly the first time in weeks, Kamala Harris botched her response to the Russian prisoner swap: "This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy." What is she talking about? 6:40pm- The group “Childless Cat Ladies for Kamala” goes viral on social media for all the wrong reasons when they sing about their love for Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Our old pal Noah Rothman comes back on the podcast today to discuss whether and how to celebrate the release of American prisoners from Russian jails and how this might tie in to the question of Israel’s handling of its own prisoner swaps—one of which led directly to October 7. And a fearless prediction is […]

In his appearance before a group of black journalists, Donald Trump gave massive offense on the matter of Kamala Harris’s racial and ethnic origins. Was this a fatal error—or was he trying to surface a conversation about the elite’s use of identity politics that will help his campaign and hurt Harris? Give a listen.

Today we dive into Israel’s same-day operations to take out Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Lebanon and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran. What will Kamala Harris say about the killing of two terrorists enemies of Israel and the U.S.?  Oh, and there’s the Trump campaign’s operation that killed Project 2025! Give a listen.
