Can the Democrats finally seize on President Trump's increasing unpopularity and end their slump? It seems to me as though 2026 is providing them ample opportunity. But I wanted to know what they actually stand for. Have they learned anything about immigration? Are they ready for the new politics of artificial intelligence? To find out, I asked someone I consider a true man of the left, Chris Hayes, the host of “All In With Chris Hayes” on MS NOW. 00:00 Intro 02:09 - Democrats: The state of play in 2026 06:46 - How Israel fractures the Democrats 09:19 - Immigration reform beyond the “old consensus” 19:46 - Models for Democratic leadership: Mark Kelly, Ruben Gallego, Rafael Warnock, and Jon Ossoff 27:22 - 2028: Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom and “the Hillary Clinton problem” 30:41 - The politics of attention 36:19 - The challenges of achieving a Leftist society 45:37 - A Leftist case against A.I. 1:04:23 - Will A.I. define the 2028 election?

【聊了什么】 2月28日,美以联合对伊朗发起代号"史诗狂怒"的军事打击。第一波空袭直接命中德黑兰市中心,最高领袖哈梅内伊等伊朗最高领导层当场身亡。录制本期节目时,战事已进入第八天——油价飙升,中东各国陷入战火,伊朗政权仍在运转,战争走向可能远比特朗普预期的复杂。 与此同时,中期选举的第一枪在德州打响。James Talarico击败Jasmine Crockett,赢得民主党参议员初选提名。一个年轻、看上去更温和的白人州众议员,打败了哈里斯钦点、全国知名的进步派黑人女议员——战术上的差距,还是民主党更深层问题的信号?共和党这边,现任参议员康宁以微弱优势领先帕克斯顿,特朗普至今未明确背书。 第三件事:国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆在3月5日被炒掉。直接导火索是她在国会听证会上把一笔2.2亿美元的广告合同甩锅给了特朗普。 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年3月7日晚间。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去: 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter,可以加入会员社群,参加会员活动,并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱:american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 01:54 "史诗狂怒"行动背景 03:24 谈判破裂还是走过场?以色列如何将美国拖下水 05:00 四个战争目标的内部矛盾:薛定谔的伊朗核能力 07:12 格雷厄姆的幕后操纵:高尔夫球场上的游说 10:55 "任务完成"的历史幽灵:与伊拉克战争对比 21:25 伊朗政权的战略逻辑 34:39 地面部队困境:空袭无法实现战略目标 40:38 《战争权力决议》投票失败:国会能做什么? 45:43 战争对中期选举的冲击:滞胀风险与民意隐患 52:20 德州民主党初选:塔拉里科击败克罗克特 54:14 塔拉里科的底牌:基督教左派能否打开福音派市场 57:02 克罗克特为何失败 60:17 共和党初选:康宁险胜,特朗普为何迟迟不背书 66:10 克伦肖输掉众议员初选:99%的忠诚也不够用 75:07 导火索:2.2亿广告合同甩锅给特朗普 77:09 丑闻解剖:空壳公司与利益输送 79:34 诺姆转任特使:为何不能彻底踢出局 80:14 穆林接任DHS:特朗普爱上福克斯常客 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾: Talich:美国政治和文化历史爱好者 王浩岚:美国政治爱好者,岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华:媒体人 【 What We Talked About】 On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched a joint military strike on Iran under the codename "Operation Epic Fury." The first wave of airstrikes hit central Tehran directly, killing Supreme Leader Khamenei and the rest of Iran's top leadership. By the time we recorded this episode, the conflict had entered its eighth day — oil prices were surging, the Middle East was engulfed in fighting, and the Iranian regime was still standing. The war may be far more complicated than Trump anticipated. Meanwhile, the midterm election season opened in Texas. James Talarico defeated Jasmine Crockett to win the Democratic Senate primary nomination. A young, ostensibly moderate white state legislator beat a nationally prominent progressive Black congresswoman who had the backing of Kamala Harris — is this a tactical failure, or a signal of something deeper wrong with the Democratic Party? On the Republican side, incumbent Senator Cornyn edged out Paxton by a slim margin, and Trump has yet to commit to a clear endorsement. Third: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was fired on March 5. The immediate trigger was her testimony before Congress, in which she tried to pin a $220 million ad contract on Trump. This episode was recorded on the night of March 7, 2026 (U.S. time). 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/americanroulette Business Inquiries and fan mail: american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【Timeline】 01:54 Background on "Operation Epic Fury" 03:24 Failed negotiations or political theater?

With war clouds gathering once again over the Middle East, Aimen takes us behind the scenes of the indirect negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. He narrates the shifting Iranian position, the will-he-or-won't-he calculus surrounding Donald Trump, and the vital strategic role played by Israel as the White House formulates a way forward. Is this brinkmanship, miscalculation, or the prelude to full-scale war? They discuss: Iran's negotiating position over the past 17–18 days The domestic factors informing Trump's thinking How the IRGC is united around a rejectionist position How Israel may have helped provide the White House with the narrative it needs to get buy-in from U.S. citizens What really went on during Netanyahu's recent visit The truth beyond Scott Bessent's claims about causing a dollar crisis in Iran Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/ Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into A Brief History of Ancient Israel by Victor H. Matthews — a concise but thought-provoking survey of one of the most complex civilizations in human history.Rather than retelling biblical stories at face value, Matthews asks a harder question: what can we actually know about ancient Israel when we compare the Bible with archaeology, ancient Near Eastern records, and historical method? From the patriarchs and the Exodus to the rise of the monarchy, the divided kingdoms, exile, and return, this episode explores how history, memory, and identity intertwine.We discuss: • Whether the patriarchs and Exodus reflect history, collective memory, or both • How Israel likely emerged from within Canaanite society • What archaeology really says about David, Solomon, and the monarchy • How trauma, exile, and foreign empires reshaped Israelite religion • Why ancient Israel survives not through power, but through text and traditionKeywords: Judaism, Old Testament, the Bible, history, and books Please consider supporting my patreon.

Israel. Iran. Gaza. Global unrest. Biblical prophecy. Light vs Darkness. In this powerful and unfiltered episode, of the Land of Israel Guys podcast we dive deep into what's really happening right now in the Middle East and why the world's response is revealing far more than headlines admit. Broadcasting directly from the land of Israel, Christian Zionists and an Orthodox Jewish rabbi come together to expose the masks being removed across governments, media, global institutions, and influencers. From Iran's internal collapse and global silence, to the Gaza war, Hamas, Hezbollah, UN hypocrisy, and rising antisemitism, this episode connects real-time events with biblical truth and prophecy. We discuss: • Why global protests vanish when Iran's people are slaughtered • How Israel has become the dividing line between light and darkness • The spiritual roots of antisemitism and global hypocrisy • Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, NATO, and the Abraham Accords — what's really happening • Why Israel's survival defies logic — and what that means spiritually • Dead Sea Scroll prophecy, biblical cycles, and the end-times lens • Should Jews make Aliyah right now? • What happens if Iran falls — and Persia reunites with Israel? This is not political theater. This is history unfolding in real time. Whether you're Christian, Jewish, or simply searching for truth beyond mainstream narratives, this episode challenges you to see the world clearly and to decide where you stand.
PSALMS 102–103 — AFFLICTION, REMEMBRANCE, AND COVENANT MERCY“Standing Under Pressure and Remembering Yahuah Correctly”Teacher: Kerry BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis evening message follows the Torah class and continues the Psalms teaching sequence, addressing how Israel responds after obedience is already established.Psalms 102–103 move from affliction to remembrance.These psalms establish:How Israel speaks in sufferingHow memory is governed under covenantHow mercy is taught without disorderThis is not emotional release.This is covenant regulation.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGE1. Psalm 102 — Affliction Without AccusationPsalm 102Psalm 102 gives voice to affliction without rebellion. The psalmist speaks honestly of weakness and distress while refusing to accuse Yahuah of injustice. Affliction is acknowledged, but covenant order is maintained.2. Yahuah Is Eternal While Man Is FrailPsalm 102:12–28Human strength fades, but Yahuah remains unchanged. Personal suffering is placed under covenant purpose, and Zion's restoration is affirmed as appointed. Continuity belongs to the covenant, not the moment.3. Psalm 103 — Remembrance Is a CommandPsalm 103:1–5Israel is commanded to remember Yahuah and forget none of His benefits. Memory is regulated. Forgetting commandments while remembering benefits produces disorder.4. Mercy Without LicensePsalm 103:6–14Yahuah's mercy is compassionate and patient, yet covenantal. Mercy restores relationship but does not remove accountability. Fear of Yahuah governs mercy.5. Who Mercy Is ForPsalm 103:15–18Mercy is extended to those who fear Yahuah, keep His covenant, and remember His commandments to do them. Mercy is inherited through obedience.6. Authority Precedes WorshipPsalm 103:19–22Yahuah's throne is established, and His kingdom rules over all. Worship flows from settled authority, not emotion.

The authorities in Hong Kong say more than 80 deaths have now been confirmed after the city's worst fire in decades. Officials think that number will grow, with more than 200 people still missing. It's unclear what caused the fire but the eight residential blocks were undergoing renovations. The contractor is reported to have breached safety requirements on multiple occasions during construction projects. We speak to a former firefighter who is an expert in tower fires.Also on the programme: How Israel's offensive on Lebanon has continued, despite a ceasefire; and a scientific study casts new light on how cats came to be domesticated and part of the daily life of so many human beings.(Photo: Smoke billows from an apartment fire in the Tai Po district of Hong Kong, China, 27 November 2025.

Send us a textIn this episode, we follow the remarkable story of the Ark of the Covenant's return from Philistine captivity — a moment that revealed both the foolishness of human superstition and the sovereignty of God. Through this ancient account, we discover a simple truth: God will not be mocked, and what is holy must be treated as holy.But the lesson doesn't stop in 1 Samuel. We can also trace a parallel to the New Testament church at Corinth, where Paul warns believers not to dishonour the Lord's Table. What connects these two moments — separated by a thousand years — is the same call to reverence, humility, and love in the presence of a holy God.Join us as we explore:Why the Philistines' “experiment” revealed their ignorance of true worship.How Israel's curiosity led to disaster — and what it teaches us about reverence.The striking parallel between the Ark and the Lord's Supper.What it means today to honor Christ in our worship and relationships.This is a call to remember that holiness is not a relic of the past — it is the heartbeat of a life lived with God.Key Scriptures:1 Samuel 6:1–21; & 1 Corinthians 11:17–34Catch On Fire PodcastsThis channel does a deep dive into the scriptures so as to teach what it means to be...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
In this in-depth Bible study, Pastor Brandon Holthaus unpacks one of Scripture's most powerful Hebraisms: “My Well Beloved Has a Vineyard.” This message explores Isaiah 5 and the parable of the vineyard, revealing God's heart for Israel, the prophetic imagery behind the vineyard and the fig tree, and how misunderstanding this passage can lead to dangerous theological errors like Replacement Theology. From Isaiah to the Gospels, Pastor Brandon traces the prophetic line showing how Israel's spiritual condition in the days of Isaiah carried through to the time of Jesus and even into the modern era. Learn why the vineyard symbolizes Israel, how God's expectations of righteousness were met with rebellion, and why Jesus' parable of the wicked tenants serves as both a warning and a prophecy of coming judgment. This lesson dives into: - The Hebraic meaning of “My Well Beloved Has a Vineyard” (Isaiah 5) - How Israel became a prophetic signpost of God's plan - The difference between the vineyard, the fig tree, and the olive tree - Why misunderstanding this passage fuels Replacement Theology - The prophetic parallels between ancient Israel and the modern church - The unchanging covenant promises of God to Israel Stay with us to the end for a discussion on current events, digital surveillance, the spirit of Antichrist, and how these connect to biblical prophecy and end-times deception.

Hey everyone… special drop today: the inaugural episode of Matthew's new side project, Antifascist Dad Podcast. Matthew sits down with songwriter Nathan Evans Fox to talk about kinship, Appalachia, and the viral hymn that's resonating across communities. Nathan shares the roots of his concept of yallidarity—solidarity rooted in labor, joy, food, music, and taking care of one another. They discuss the myths and realities of Appalachia, the erasure of labor history, and the dangers of “bootstrap” individualism. Nathan tells about his upbringing in fringe charismatic churches, the connections between charismatic Christianity and Trump-style politics, and how faith traditions can nurture resilience—or be co-opted by empire. They dig into Nathan's viral “Hillbilly Hymn”: why the cops disappear when Jesus returns, why kinship always beats bootstraps, and how to imagine an abolitionist future that doesn't erase culture but reorients it toward joy, justice, and care.All theme music by the amazing www.kalliemarie.com.

Host Faust Checho exposes how Bill Clinton's rise from Arkansas governor to president completed the Bush–Clinton blueprint: turning the Boys on the Tracks cover-up, Whitewater, Waco, and the Oklahoma City bombing into milestones in the creation of America's modern security state.This is Part 5, the finale of Faust's explosive series exposing how the Bush–Clinton machine evolved from covert wars to total domestic control.As the Bush–Clinton dynasty tightened its grip, Arkansas became the prototype for covert power — a proving ground where autopsies were altered, investigators silenced, and scandals rebranded as reform. In this explosive finale of the Bush-Clinton corruption series, Faust traces how scandal in Saline County evolved into the Clinton Body Count, how REX 84 and Operation Night Train foreshadowed a domestic war machine, and how policies like the 1994 Crime Bill, NAFTA, and the Telecommunications Act transformed America into the surveillance state we live in today. From Mena to the Rose Law Firm, from Haiti to Kosovo, the same networks of money, drugs, and blackmail that fueled Iran-Contra were refined under Bill Clinton — and exported worldwide.Topics in this episode include:
Two years ago, on October the 7th, 2023, Hamas militants committed a series of atrocities in southern Israel. 1,195 people were killed in the attacks. 251 people were taken hostage by Hamas, 47 remain in captivity. Some alive, some dead. Since then, war has ravaged the Gaza Strip and, in the form of escalating settler violence, spread to the West Bank. Israel has inflicted famine on Gazans. Over 60,000 Palestinians have been reportedly killed in the conflict, a third of them children.And this war has rippled far beyond Palestine, Israel and the Middle East, affecting communities and politics around the world. In Britain, protesters have filled the streets, and questions are asked about why our government has supported Israel with weaponry and intelligence used in the Gaza strip. Last Friday, on Yom Kippur, the Jewish calendar's most holy day, two worshippers were stabbed to death outside a synagogue in Manchester.Tanjil Rashid is joined by Rachel Cunliffe.Read: Under bombardment in Gaza City; What it's like to be Jewish in Britain now; The world has abandoned the hostages; How Israel warped the WestLISTEN AD-FREE:

In December 2023, when South Africa accused Israel of genocide before the International Court of Justice, I thought it was wrong to do so. Israel had been attacked. Its defense was legitimate. The blood was on Hamas's hands.But over the last year, I have watched a slew of organizations and scholars arrive at the view that whatever Israel's war on Gaza began as, its mass assault on Palestinian civilians fits the definition of genocidal violence. This is a view now held by Amnesty International, B'Tselem, Human Rights Watch, and the president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, among many othersOne reason I have stayed away from the word genocide is that there is an imprecision at its heart. When people use the word genocide, I think they imagine something like the Holocaust: the attempted extermination of an entire people. But the legal definition of genocide encompasses much more than that.So what is a genocide? And is this one?Philippe Sands is a lawyer who's worked on a number of genocide cases. He is the author of, among other books, “East West Street,” about how the idea of genocide was developed and written into international law. He is the best possible guide to the hardest possible topic.Mentioned:“What the Inventor of the Word ‘Genocide' Might Have Said About Putin's War” by Philippe Sands“‘Only the Strong Survive.'

Send us a textWelcome Back:Are you blessed? Most of us would say yes. But with blessing comes danger—the peril of privilege. In this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we explore Paul's sobering warning from Israel's history in 1 Corinthians 10. How do we live under God's favour without becoming presumptuous? How do we handle spiritual blessings without drifting into complacency? Join us as we learn from the past and lean on the faithfulness of God in the face of temptation.Episode Notes:Passage: 1 Corinthians 10:1–14Summary:Paul reminds the Corinthians—and us—that blessing is not a guarantee of faithfulness. Drawing from Israel's story, he warns that spiritual privilege can become a snare if it leads to presumption. In this episode we learn:How Israel's blessings mirror our privileges in Christ.Why privilege can lull us into spiritual complacency.What it really means to “take heed lest you fall.”The promise of God's faithfulness in every temptation.Why the way of escape is often as simple—and urgent—as fleeing.Key Verse:“So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!” (1 Cor 10:12)Takeaway:Your blessings in Christ are glorious—but they are not a license to drift. They are a call to vigilance, gratitude, and humble dependence on God's faithfulness.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Is Israel Starving Palestinians? A Firsthand Report from the Border There's a growing claim in the global media that Israel is blocking food and aid from reaching Palestinians in Gaza. But what's actually happening on the ground? In this episode, we're joined by Yair Pinto, an Israeli believer, IDF reservist, and voice on TBN Israel. Yair recently returned from a UN distribution facility near the Gaza border, where millions of meals are sitting untouched—spoiling in the heat. From what he's seen firsthand, the problem isn't the supply. It's the systems of control and obstruction. Together, we take a closer look at how Hamas and the UN are shaping the flow of humanitarian aid, the double standards Israel continues to face, and what we can do to cut through the confusion from afar. If you've been trying to sort out what's real and what's rhetoric, this is an episode worth your time. Key Takeaways: October 7 wasn't just a terror attack - it launched a war across multiple fronts, including the battlefield of global opinion. Yair's unique voice - as an IDF soldier, a Messianic Jew, and a media communicator - brings clarity few can offer. The truth about humanitarian aid: Israel sends it. Hamas steals it. The UN looks the other way. The war is spiritual: Satan hates a faithful God - and Israel is His proof. The media war is being lost - but truth still has a remnant. Israel's fight is defensive, not imperial: It's survival against genocidal hatred. Many Palestinians remain under the grip of Hamas ideology, not because of race or religion, but radical indoctrination. Even amidst sirens and rockets, God is still doing miracles in Israel. Prayer matters - especially for the children, the hostages, and even for Israel's enemies.

Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!Trauma surgeon, war zone volunteer, and Gaza healthcare whistleblower Dr. Feroze Sidhwa reveals the human cost of U.S. foreign policy, the collapse of Gaza's medical system, and the weaponization of humanitarian aid in episode 202 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.A frontline surgeon with firsthand experience in Ukraine and Gaza, Dr. Sidhwa joins Faust to expose the devastating realities behind headlines — from food insecurity and systemic child casualties to the disturbing silence of Western governments. This unfiltered conversation challenges the official narrative surrounding Israel's assault on Gaza and America's role in perpetuating the crisis.In this episode, Dr. Sidhwa shares what he witnessed on the ground: the normalization of ethnic division in Israeli society, the calculated destruction of Gaza's infrastructure, and the complicity of U.S. media and political institutions. He breaks down the numbers — and the names — that prove Gaza's healthcare catastrophe is not a byproduct of war, but a direct result of policy.Topics include:• Why Gaza is facing a medical crisis far worse than Ukraine• The devastating effects of the Israeli blockade on healthcare and aid• How Israel's military campaign has targeted children and hospitals• Personal stories from inside Gaza's surgical wards• The disturbing disparities in casualty reporting and human shields narratives• Israel's strategic role in U.S. empire-building in the Middle East• The long history of American complicity in Middle Eastern violence• Why U.S. arms shipments keep flowing despite global outrage• The Gaza healthcare letter to Biden — and the blowback it triggered• The media's role in burying evidence and conflating criticism with antisemitism• Netanyahu's manipulation of global politics through fear and distraction• The real purpose behind America's unwavering support for Israel• Why the Gaza crisis may be the breaking point for global perception… and much more. This conversation isn't about politics — it's about people. About truth. And about the silence that enables suffering.

This week we dive into the powerful story found in Joshua 22—a moment when a misunderstanding nearly led to civil war among God's people. What started as hearsay turned into assumption, and assumption led to accusation. Sound familiar?We explore how miscommunication affects relationships—from ancient Israel to modern marriages—and how clear, honest communication is key to maintaining unity and trust.You'll hear:• A timeless quote from Cool Hand Luke that still hits home• Why obedience is a sign of relationship with God, not the basis of it• How Israel almost went to war over an altar they misunderstood• What it means to be a truth-seeker and not a rumor-spreader
Israel is exhausted. The war has stretched on for 15 months. The weight of it - physically, emotionally, spiritually - is crushing. And yet, as the world watches, the narratives surrounding Israel are being twisted beyond recognition. Lies, conspiracies, and political maneuvers flood the headlines, and the church is left asking: What is actually happening? In this episode, we sit down with Moshe Sigulim - an Israeli with deep personal ties to the military, the land, and the people of Israel. He's lived through war. He's lost friends. He's seen firsthand what's at stake. And he's here to cut through the noise. We're talking about the spiritual and political storm surrounding Israel, the unsettling rise of global anti-Semitism, and why the world is obsessed with placing Israel at the center of every conflict. But more than that, we're wrestling with prophecy, the longing for peace, and the hard truth that Israel is searching for a savior - just not the Savior. If you care about Israel, if you want to see through the media fog, if you want to understand what the Bible actually says about the days we're living in - this episode is a must-listen. Because what's happening in Israel isn't just political. It's spiritual. And it's unfolding right before our eyes. Key Takeaways The real situation on the ground in Israel - and why the media gets it wrong. Why Israel is desperate for peace, and how that desperation sets the stage for dangerous compromises. The disturbing global shift toward anti-Zionism and why it matters to the church. How Israel's spiritual hunger is growing - but not yet for Yeshua. The role of prophecy in today's events and how the Bible has already laid this out. What Christians must understand about standing with Israel in these days. Chapter Markers 00:00 | Welcome & Moshe's background 01:45 | The media war against Israel 02:45 | Israel's desperation for peace - why it matters 07:27 | What Trump's statements on Gaza really mean 09:26 | The injustice of the hostage situation 14:27 | The spiritual side of this war - what prophecy says 18:26 | The financial battle behind global politics 26:00 | Israel's place in the coming global conflict 28:38 | What Christians don't understand about Israel The world is shifting fast, and Israel is at the center of it all.

Israel killed many people in Lebanon by putting explosives in pagers and walkie-talkies, in what was condemned internationally as a terrorist attack. This is already backfiring, hurting Western technology companies. Ben Norton discusses how this act of war will fragment supply chains, as Global South markets no longer trust tech made by the US and its allies. China's manufactured goods will increasingly be seen as a safer alternative.

Last week, as Israel continued to prosecute its eliminationist war against Palestinians in Gaza, an eclectic group of right-wing bigwigs gathered in Washington, DC for the fourth iteration of the National Conservatism conference — convened by Yarom Hazony, an Israeli-born writer, activist, and former speechwriter for Benjamin Netanyahu. As our guest, historian Suzanne Schneider, explains, Hazony aspires to export Israel's model of illiberal democracy and dispossession to the nations of the world. And if the embrace of NatCon by American conservatives is any indication, he is succeeding. Nations, for Hazony, derive their legitimacy not from the consent of the governed (which, for Israel, would include disenfranchised Palestinians in the West Bank) but from God, who designated the land of Israel as the home of the Jews. All nations are born of divine covenant, not consent; political community is based on unchosen and inherited obligations extending outward in concentric circles of coercion, from the nuclear family, to the clan, to the tribe, and so on. This slipshod political theology authorizes a world of sovereign, militarized ethno-states, intensely protective of patriarchal prerogatives, and with no obligation to international law, human rights, judicial interference, or constitutional guarantees for religious or racial minorities. If Israel is the God-given home of the Jews, why shouldn't America be the God-given home of white Christians? It's not difficult to perceive the appeal of this vision for NatCon's attendees, including Trumpist senators like Josh Hawley and Mike Lee, Catholic integralists like Gladdin Pappin and Chad Pecknold, racist nativists like Stephen Miller, or Viktor Orbán propagandists like John O'Sullivan. These figures may not all acknowledge or recognize their debt to Israeli Zionism, but they all look with admiration on the impunity with which Israel has treated its Arab subjects, seeing in Israel's contempt for liberal norms, universal rights, and human dignity an aspirational model for America and the globe.Further Reading:Suzanne Schneider, "Light Among the Nations," Jewish Currents, Sept 28, 2023— "How Israel's Illiberal Democracy Became a Model for the Right," Dissent, Spring 2024. — "Beyond Athens and Jerusalem," Strange Matters, Spring 2024.— "A Note on Means and Ends," Dr. Small Talk (Suzanne's Substack), Feb 4, 2024.Yoram Hazony, The Virtue of Nationalism (2018).— Conservatism: A Rediscovery (2022).Sarah Jones, "The Authoritarian Plot (Live from NatCon 4)," New York Magazine, Jul 14, 2024.Further Listening:KYE, The Rise of Illiberal Right, Jul 2019.KYE, Return of the National Conservatives, Nov 2021....and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon to listen to all of our extensive catalogue of bonus episodes!

First, most obviously, they achieve their goal of control and carnage in Palestine, making the territory unlivable for the indigenous people in an effort to take the land. Second, Israel's military industrial complex is vastly enriched from the sale of weapons and tech. And third, Israel's weaponry allows them to to commit mass terror in Gaza: “After 1967, there were many nations that publicly opposed what Israel was doing, but the insurance policy is that Israel has been selling weapons and surveillance tech to so many countries for so long that those nations were less likely to criticize Israel where it matters, like the UN.” And the vast extent of this insurance policy is likely greater than we realize. “No one even knows, by the way, how many countries Israel has sold weapons to. I calculate anywhere between 125 and 145 nations, which is the majority of nations on the planet, have bought some form of Israeli weapons, surveillance tech, or repressive technology.” But since October 7, Antony explains, Israel's grip over the world is slipping. Subscribe to hear the full interview in which Antony explains why “Israel is a house of cards,” how companies like Google and Amazon “are directly complicit in potential war crimes,” and why Israel's potential war on Hezbollah “would make what's happening in Gaza seem like kindergarten.” 00:00 Intro 00:49 ICC wants to arrest Israel: The Four Food Groups of News 20:31 Antony Loewenstein interview 21:38 How Israel exports the technology of occupation 24:24 Israel's insurance policy 28:25 The Palestine laboratory 32:49 Israeli surveillance of Gaza 36:57 How the US uses IDF tactics to silence protesters 43:10 Google and Amazon war crimes? 49:26 What is Israel's goal?

House Speaker Mike Johnson, self-proclaimed champion for human rights and freedom, and enemy of dictators everywhere, inched closer to getting Ukraine aid after eight months of successfully delaying it, empowering Russia's genocide. Kremlin state TV repeatedly praised Johnson for assisting their brutal invasion, which, as discussed in this week's bonus show, emboldened Iran to unleash a shocking swarm of drones and missiles against Israel. The Ukraine aid package still faces delays, thanks to MAGA, and will have to go back to the Senate before it reaches President Biden's desk. The Trump-proposed changes, of structuring some of the aid as a loan, can be forgiven by the President, including partial loan forgiveness by Biden on his way out, should he lose the election. If Trump wins, he could force Ukraine to repay what's left of the loan and refuse to send ATACMS, the long-range missiles that have made Ukraine effective at blowing up Russian planes and other military targets that slaugher civilians. The compromise in this aid package, far less than what Ukraine actually needs to win the war, adds to the urgency to ensure Trump loses the electoral college. It's going to be a nailbiter, for America and the world. This week's bonus show includes reports that Paul Manafort is back to help Trump (and Russia) win the 2024 election. Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman and analyst Monique Camarra of the Kremlin File podcast join Andrea to discuss Manafort's dark arts and how they may help Trump and Russia illegally hijack our democracy once again.

But remember: the first step is a motion to table. And Democrats could vote to table, and that's that. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1780240955196539137 Why Israel's attack on Iranian consulate in Syria was a gamechanger Peter Beaumont and Emma Graham-Harrison A war long fought through proxies, assassinations and strikes outside Israel has spilled into the open https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/14/why-israel-attack-on-iranian-consulate-in-syria-was-a-gamechanger Video Shows Ukrainian Plane Being Hit Over Iran The New York Times has obtained video of the moment a Ukrainian airliner was hit minutes after takeoff from Tehran. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/09/video/iran-plane-missile.html The Great Oligarchs Escape: ‘The Ground Is Trembling. They Will Stream Into Israel' As Ukraine war rages and the West tightens the screws on Russian oligarchs, many of them look to Israel to escape. Some hold Israeli citizenship, exactly for these kinds of circumstances. Billionaires will benefit from Israeli law, allowing them to hide sources of income for a 10-year period https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2022-03-10/ty-article-magazine/.highlight/the-great-oligarchs-escape-the-ground-is-trembling-they-will-stream-into-israel/0000017f-f2d9-df98-a5ff-f3fd182d0000 EXCLUSIVE: Ukrainian President @ZelenskyyUa said he spoke to lawmakers and the president about Ukraine's urgent need for wartime aid and stressed “please just make a decision,” during an interview with @IAmAmnaNawaz.

Every dictator or wannabe dictator relies on a base of support to stay in power. For Putin, Orban, and Trump, their base is Christian nationalism – claiming God wants white, straight "Christian" men to rule, even if this means violently stripping all others of their human rights. (Nevermind what Jesus actually taught in the Gospels about loving thy neighbor!) The Republican Party has been taken over by Christian nationalists backed by American and Russian oligarchs, in a death cult commonly known as MAGA. Trump is the strongman they've been searching for over decades of laying the groundwork for turning America into a dictatorship. Here to break it down for us is veteran filmmaker Stephen Ujlaki, who delved into the terrifying game plan of Christian nationalists for his new film, Bad Faith, out April 26 and available for pre-order. Gaslit Nation listeners who host viewing parties of Bad Faith with their friends and family can send us a photo or email to GaslitNation@gmail.com about the event for their chance to get Gaslit merch and other fun prizes, to help spread the word about this important and urgent film. This week's bonus episode, exclusively for our subscribers at the Truth-teller level and higher on Patreon, will cover Iran's attack on Israel, why Ukraine must receive the same protection as the U.S.-led coalition that defended Israel, especially as MAGA continues to block aid in the House, and reports of Paul Manafort's work for Trump in the 2024 election. We're also launching today a NEW chat group, inspired by our recent Make Art Workshop: The Business Side of Things, to complement our current general chat group, called Victory. The Art is Survival chat group is for artists in our community to share their works in progress, discover resources, and join with a community of like-minded creatives envisioning a world beyond the dictatorships the fascists want us to believe are inevitable. Thank you to all the artists out there and those who support art for believing that another world is possible! The recording of the Make Art workshop will be published Saturday May 4th, along with the transcript and a list of resources. To get access to both chat groups – Victory (the general chat group) and Art is Survival – all bonus shows, all episodes ad-free, exclusive invites to events, and more, be sure to sign up at the Truth-teller level or higher on Patreon.com/Gaslit. Thank you to everyone who supports the show – we could not make Gaslit Nation without you!
