Both 2020 and 2022 were bruising defeats for MAGA, for America, and Charlie. In his CK Exclusives interview at AmericaFest, Steve Bannon talks about how those losses were actually providential, allowing for the far more effective 2024 comeback that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Steve also discusses Charlie's role in staffing up the new administration and his belief that the Gaza War will lead to a new "two-state solution" for Israel/Palestine, then takes a few questions from CK Exclusives members.

Today on the podcast, I'm honored to welcome Mustapha Ezzarghani — an Arab, a Moroccan, and a Muslim whose life and work unfold at one of the most charged intersections of our time. Mustapha is a political analyst, peace activist, and community organizer originally from Marrakech, Morocco. He is the co-founder and president of the Moroccan-Israel Friendship Association, an American organization dedicated to strengthening ties between the Kingdom of Morocco and the State of Israel through diplomacy, cultural exchange, and grassroots initiatives. Since MIFA's founding in 2020, Mustapha has led efforts to build economic and educational bridges between two peoples whose shared history is often forgotten and whose future is too often framed only through conflict. But Mustapha is more than a title or an organization. He is someone who lives at the intersection of experience and reflection — a thinker shaped not only by ideas, but by lived reality. His journey opens windows onto questions many of us wrestle with but rarely slow down enough to examine: identity and belonging, faith and doubt, tradition and change, responsibility and freedom. What makes this conversation especially powerful is Mustapha's willingness to speak honestly — without slogans, without simplifications — about Israel, the Jewish people, Morocco, and the wider Muslim world. He does not offer easy answers. He offers presence, insight, and the courage to sit with complexity. Raised with deeply ingrained assumptions about Jews and Israel, Mustapha describes how his worldview was transformed through personal encounters — including a moment that shook him to his core, when a Jewish Moroccan doctor from Israel helped save the life of a young girl from a poor Berber family in the Atlas Mountains. That experience sparked a reckoning, leading Mustapha to study Jewish history in Morocco, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the narratives he had once accepted without question. Influenced by Sufi education and Islamic scholarship — particularly the teaching that one should enter debate wanting to be convinced — Mustapha reminds us that dialogue was once a sacred act, not a political weapon. In a world addicted to certainty and outrage, he calls us back to listening, humility, and moral seriousness. 6: 19 - "We learn about the Jewish people from our textbooks, and at one time I decided to challenge everything I have learned," 12:30 - "If all our stories about the Jews of Morocco were positive, how come when they left to Israel, they became the devil." 27:10 - "When you bring an Arab to Israel for open-heart surgery and they go back home with hatred in their heart....it's because they couldn't find another identity." 39:44: "The hundreds of thousands of Jews we kicked out...turned them to land owners to refugees..is more then enough for us to support your new state, called Israel." 49:56: "Our wars against them (Israel), strengthened them, and it weakened us (the Arab world)" ——

In episode 318 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked back in with Canadian lawyer Eric Frydman. We first checked in with Eric in January 2024 in JCIP #222, which formed part of two episodes we did covering the Israel-Palestine conflict, with Eric providing the perspective from a Jewish perspective. Since that date, Eric founded the Canadian Jewish Lawyers Association in the summer of 2024, which has grown to over 1,000 members in that time. Through that role, he has also run several public events and created a cultural exchange programme with Ethiopian Israeli young people. For Eric's continued mental health journey, it centres on the death of his father, who died on New Years Eve in 2024. His father had been diagnosed with cancer several years ago, but he was also diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) a year and a half ago at time of recording, which accelerated his decline. In this episode we discuss his continued professional journey, the life and death of his father and how the grief impacted his mental health, having to navigate 'death admin' and family politics at the same time, and where his mental health is now. As always, #itsokaytovent You can listen to Part 1 of Eric's journey here: https://soundcloud.com/venthelpuk/jcip-222-eric-frydman Support Us: Patreon: www.patreon.com/venthelpuk PayPal: paypal.me/freddiec1994?country.x=GB&locale.x=en_GB Merchandise: www.redbubble.com/people/VentUK/shop Music: @patawawa - Strange: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d70wfeJSEvk
On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks again with Washington Post columnist and repeat guest Shadi Hamid (listen to previous episodes). A native Pennsylvanian of Egyptian ethnic background and Islamic faith, Hamid completed his Ph.D. in politics at Oxford University. He is co-host of the Wisdom of Crowds podcast and website with Damir Marusic, and now the author of his own Substack and a recent book, The Case For American Power. Hamid is also the author of The Problem of Democracy: America, the Middle East, and the Rise and Fall of an Idea. , Temptations of Power: Islamists & Illiberal Democracy in a New Middle East and Rethinking Political Islam. Before moving the discussion to The Case For American Power, Razib asks Hamid about his current positioning on the American political landscape with the emergence of the hard-right during the second Trump administration. Hamid admits that during the "woke era" he wasn't sure about his place on the Left as a progressive due to his misgivings with racial identarianism, but with the rise of white nationalism on the Right and the executive decisions of the Trump administration Hamid finds himself more comfortable saying he is a progressive. Racism and the passions unleashed by the Israel-Palestine conflict since 10/7 have made Hamid reevaluate the virtues of some level of wokeness. Pivoting to foreign policy, Razib and Hamid discuss his new book, and its positioning within a political landscape that ranges from neconservatism, liberal internationalism and isolationism of all sorts. Despite Hamid's misgivings of some aspects of American culture and the nation's past political sins, he asserts (unlike the far Left) that overall America is a force for good, and that it should exercise its power to spread its vision of morality across the world. The Case For American Power is an attempt to articulate a liberal and progressive internationalist vision for 2025, decades after the failed Iraqi intervention. Hamid also addresses the sea-change on the progressive side of American politics when it comes to Israel, admitting he feels much freer to express skepticism or critiques of Israeli policy than he had in previous eras.

Send us a textUnderstanding Israel Palestine: Beyond the Walls – The Oligarchs, The Spies, and The Grand Bargain that Sold Out the Palestinians and the United States Host: Jeremy Rothe-Kushel Guests: Seth Abramson (Proof), Richard Silverstein (Tikun Olam)Episode Summary: For this episode, I feature segments of 2 interviews from the last half of 2020 with public interest writers & analysts Seth Abramson and Richard Silverstein, both quite prescient in their insights into the current geopolitical crisis surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, most glaring in the international relational faultlines constructed amongst the United States & the Middle East, especially the Israeli security state and its Emirati and Saudi state partners, directly tied to the geopolitical collusion to attack American elections while selling out the Palestinians, and the role of Russian sphere Kremlin-associated oligarchs, some publicly defended from sanctions by Israeli officials, in sponsoring the escalation of Israeli settler politics bent on ethnically cleansing the Palestinian people.Government officials and the media largely told us that the 2016 election interference was just about Russian "troll farms." They lied by omission. In this explosive episode of Understanding Israel Palestine: Beyond the Walls, we tear down the firewall between "Russiagate" and the Middle East to reveal the true geopolitical architecture of the Trump era.We go deep with Seth Abramson, author of the Proof trilogy, to decode the Senate Intelligence Committee's massive Volume 5 report. Abramson exposes what the Mueller Report ignored: the "Grand Bargain" between the Trump campaign, Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. We track the fingerprints of Israeli cyber-intelligence mercenaries like Psy-Group and Joel Zamel, the shadowy role of George Nader, and the August 2016 Trump Tower meeting that cemented an alliance of autocrats against democracy and Palestinian rights.Then, we pivot to the money trail with security journalist Richard Silverstein. Breaking down the FinCEN files, Silverstein reveals how Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich funneled over $100 million into Elad, the settler organization aggressively "Judaizing" East Jerusalem. We discuss how dirty money from the post-Soviet sphere is being laundered into the ethnic cleansing of Silwan, turning the biblical "City of David" into a weapon of displacement.This is the deep politics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—where intelligence operations, oligarchic wealth, and settler ideology collide to sell out the Palestinian people and compromise the American republic.Featured Guests:Seth Abramson [PROOF]: https://www.sethabramson.net Richard Silverstein [TIKUN OLAM]: https://www.richardsilverstein.comHost/Producer: Jeremy Rothe-Kushel [BEYOND THE WALLS]: https://beyondthewalls.substack.com

On December 14th, two gunmen opened fire on a celebration marking the first night of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, killing 15 and injuring more than 40. The gunmen, a father and son, have since been linked to the Islamic State. Immediately, as observers near and far were just beginning to process and mourn, bad actors rushed in to claim the narrative. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a rebuke of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, linking the antisemitic attack to Albanese's call for a Palestinian state. Australian antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal similarly linked the attack to a peaceful August 3rd Palestine solidarity march over Harbour Bridge attended by 300,000. She used the opportunity to promote her controversial 20-point plan to combat antisemitism, which would necessitate the broad adoption of the flawed IHRA definition of antisemitism, mandate Trumpian funding cuts to universities, and crown herself arbiter of acceptable speech related to Israel/Palestine in the media. American politicians quickly weighed in to express solidarity with the state of Israel and link the violence to the nonviolent Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. Some prominent American Jewish figures like New York Times columnist Bret Stephens and former US antisemitism envoy Deborah Lipstadt claimed—without evidence and before anything was known about the shooters—that the attack was downstream from use of the phrase “globalize the intifada,” a dig at New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani who chose not to condemn the phrase.On this episode of On the Nose, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel and senior editor Mari Cohen spoke with Sarah Schwartz, the Melbourne-based executive officer of the new progressive, independent Jewish organization the Jewish Council of Australia. They parsed the various responses, from Australia to the US to Israel; explored the folly of conflating the ideology of the Islamic State with Palestinian national or solidarity politics; and reflected on the role and responsibility of the Jewish left amid antisemitic violence.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Articles Mentioned and Further Reading“Jews, antisemitism and power in Australia,” Max Kaiser, Meanjin“Bondi Beach Is What ‘Globalize the Intifada' Looks Like,” Bret Stephens, The New York TimesBenjamin Netanyahu's statement on Bondi...

When it comes to liberal American Jews and President Donald Trump, the “cognitive dissonance is real,” said award-winning journalist Dahlia Lithwick on the Haaretz Podcast. While Lithwick “doesn’t dispute for a minute" the fact that the U.S. president and his envoys “did yeoman’s work” negotiating a cease-fire deal, it is not enough for her to soften her perception of the level of danger that Trump represents. With democracy and rule of law being challenged, “You have to ask yourself, am I transactional enough to say that I will subordinate all of that to parochial interests?” she said in her conversation with Haaretz columnist Joshua Leifer and podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer. “If you say you can pick and choose which authoritarian you want to align yourself with, cross your fingers and hope you know this time, being a court Jew is going to work out – history suggests otherwise.” In their in-depth discussion, Lithwick and Leifer also consider the trends in U.S. politics on the right and left which are upending the long-held assumptions of American Jewish life and the urgent need to confront the new “transactional” reality and abandon “magical thinking.” “American Jewish organizations sold the idea to American Jews that they were more powerful than they were. And I think Israel sold to American Jews – and also Israelis – that Israel is more powerful than it is,” Leifer said. For U.S. Jews to effectively fight for their interests, including the battle against antisemitism, he said, they must leave behind “the old rhetoric and strategies – because no one cares anymore.” Read more from Haaretz columnist Joshua Leifer: In Blood-soaked Israel-Palestine, the Dangerous Status Quo of Before October 7 Has Returned It's Clear What Defendant Netanyahu Gets Out of a Pardon.

Two months have passed since a ceasefire was announced in Gaza, but the second phase of US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan has yet to materialise. The uncertainty has left Gazans anxious that the ceasefire could collapse – as the last truce did in March. The initial part of the agreement included the exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian detainees and a stop to the fighting. Now these terms have mostly been met, Israel, Hamas and the mediators cannot seem to agree on how to tackle the next steps. Phase two is supposed to focus on a peacekeeping force and a governing committee, as well as reconstruction in the enclave. But so far there has been much disagreement over which countries will take part in the force and what their mandate will be. Meanwhile, an impasse remains over Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and the disarmament of Hamas. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher looks at the obstacles that must be overcome to reach the second stage of the ceasefire and what it would take to move the process forward. She speaks to Max Rodenbeck, Israel-Palestine director at International Crisis Group, and to The National's UK bureau chief Damien McElroy.
In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Hilary Rantisi speaks with Dr. Yousef Kamal AlKhouri, Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies and Academic Dean at Bethlehem Bible College and a Christian Arab Palestinian theologian from Gaza. They discuss the Christian community in Gaza, the importance of Gaza in Christianity and Christian history, and the destruction of Christians in Gaza, which Dr. AlKhouri has termed 'ecclesiocide.' They also discuss the new Kairos document, called Kairos II, launched in Bethlehem in November 2025. According to the Kairos Palestine Initiative, Kairos II "declares the reality in Palestine as genocide and ethnic cleansing, challenges Western silence, and introduces a theology of resistance linking faith with justice. It exposes internal crises and reshapes the role of Christians in the struggle for liberation." Read the Kairos II document here. Dr. Yousef Kamal AlKhouri (Ph.D., Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) is a Christian Arab Palestinian theologian from Gaza. He serves as Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies and Academic Dean at Bethlehem Bible College. He is a member of the steering committee of Christ at the Checkpoint and the board of Kairos Palestine. His research and publications, in Arabic and English, center on Palestinian theology, contextual biblical interpretation, and the witness of Christianity within the Palestinian experience. Hilary Rantisi grew up in Palestine and has been involved with education and advocacy on the Middle East since her move to the US. She is a 2025 Fellow at FMEP and was most recently the Associate Director of the Religion, Conflict and Peace Initiative (RCPI) and co-instructor of Learning in Context: Narratives of Displacement and Belonging in Israel/Palestine at Harvard Divinity School. She has over two decades of experience in institution building at Harvard, having been the Director of the Middle East Initiative (MEI) at Harvard Kennedy School of Government prior to her current role. She has a BA in Political Science/International Studies from Aurora University and a master's degree in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Chicago. Before moving to the US, Hilary worked at Birzeit University and at the Jerusalem-based Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center. There, she co-edited a photo essay book Our Story: The Palestinians with the Rev. Naim Ateek. Original music by Jalal Yaquoub.

U.S. Church Leadership in the Face of Genocide." sponsored by Voices from the Holy Land. Every month the inter-faith, interdenominational coalition makes available a documentary on Israel-Palestine to members of the public who sign up to see it. The screening is followed by a discussion of the film Sunday afternoons at 3 p.m. Eastern Time with expert voices on the topic.
What happens when you're addicted to violence itself? John Graham shipped out on a freighter at 16, made the first ascent of Denali's North Wall at 20 (never repeated), and faced death dozens times—loving every minute. By 28, nothing mattered except his next dangerous adventure. Then came Vietnam. Setting up a firing squad during the 1971 Easter Offensive in Hue, ordering deaths of teenagers, John broke down weeping. Through encounter groups, he discovered the compassionate man beneath his "John Wayne image." At the UN, he used those warrior qualities for good—risking his career to help end apartheid. For 40 years with the Giraffe Heroes Project, he's inspired courage worldwide. "Pick up the corner of the rug you can pick up."John Graham is a leader of the Giraffe Heroes Project, inspiring courage globally for 40 years. A former US Foreign Service Officer for 15 years, he risked his career at the UN to help end apartheid in South Africa. From shipping out on a freighter at 16 to the first ascent of Denali's North Wall at 20, John transformed from adrenaline-addicted adventurer to global peacebuilder—negotiating with the Khmer Rouge, working on Israel/Palestine peace efforts, and saving the Everglades. Author of four books including the memoir "QUEST." Harvard and Stanford graduate.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week.

Recorded live at the Whitby Hotel, guest host Alix Strauss leads a moving conversation with filmmaker Nim Shapira following a screening of his new feature documentary, TORN. Shapira discusses the origins of the film, the shock and grief that followed October 7th, and his desire to bridge divides in an increasingly polarized landscape. He shares personal stories from volunteering with families of hostages, the unraveling of social connections, and the deeper questions that guided the project—about empathy, dehumanization, and the complexity of truth. This intimate talkback offers a rare look into the making of Torn and the emotional and societal fractures it captures.Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Follow @totallybookedwithzibby on Instagram for listening guides and more. **(Music by Morning Moon Music.

Is Israel beginning to collapse from within? In this in depth conversation, renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappé explains why he believes Zionism has entered its final phase, how Israeli society is disintegrating internally, and what a just future for Palestinians and Israelis could look like. Pappé, director of the European Centre for Palestine Studies and author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic and Israel on the Brink, draws on decades of archival research to argue that Israel is a classic settler colonial project built on ethnic cleansing, apartheid and permanent military rule over Palestinians. He details the social implosion inside Israel, the growing split between secular and religious Jews, the role of the U.S. and European powers, and why he thinks decolonization is inevitable. We discuss 1948 and the Nakba, the Gaza war, accusations of genocide, the collapse of the two-state solution, one democratic state between the river and the sea, Jewish-Palestinian coexistence, and what real decolonization might require in practice. For anyone trying to understand the future of Israel-Palestine, this is an unfiltered, long form analysis from one of the conflict's most important dissident historians. If you value independent conversations like this, please like the episode, leave a comment, share it, and subscribe to The Voices of War for more long‑form interviews with critical thinkers from around the world.

The last two years have seen a massive chasm in every country of the world over the Israel/Palestine issue. Since October 7, 2023 and the subsequent invasion of Gaza by Israel, people are divided. But this is not a recent debate. Anyone who knows the history of the region understands this dispute is ancient. But today I want to go back “behind the curtain” to get the real story.I.

Hey everyone, I wanted to let you all know that I'll be giving online classes starting this January, and that I'm still accepting new people for the very first class. I recommend doing so asap as I've already had to open up a second class due to that amazing response I've received so far. All details below.The class is entitled “Beware of Small States: An overview of Lebanon from 1975 to 2025.” We will go beyond sensationalist headlines and shallow coverage, and beyond simplistic, top-down explanations for the country. Instead of a linear timeline of events, which you can get from Wikipedia anyway, you will get a messy one. After all, politics is not linear. Political actors evoke events from the recent or not-so-recent past as part of their politics in the present. In addition to the structured syllabus, I will use personal stories as someone who grew up in Lebanon in a very conservative, at times even Far Right, Christian environment, to explain how my own personal journey away from right-wing and towards left-wing, quasi-anarchist, politics has helped me understand Lebanon better, and hopefully help you too.RegisterJust send me an email at ayoub@thefirethesetimes.com or a Signal message @ ayoub.02. I will send you the syllabus as well as all the required details including how to pay for the class if you're interested in taking it.When? Weekly from Saturday Jan 17th, 4pm UK time. 5 sessions. Week 1 (Jan 17): The stories we tell ourselves about this painfully ordinary country.Week 2 (Jan 24): Five academic-y concepts that are easier to understand than they seem.Week 3 (Jan 31): We Are the Children of the Children of War.Week 4 (Feb 7): From Life in the Midst of History to The CollapseWeek 5 (Feb 14): Lebanon yesterday, today, tomorrowFees: $300Discounts: For Hauntologies (my newsletter) subscribers (past or present)50% off for paid subscribers100% off for Founding MembersAnyone joining the class will get:Access to all 5 sessionsLifetime access to the Google DriveLifetime access to the Hauntologies newsletter without paying extra (subscribers pay $50 a year on average)Discounts on future classesAn invitation to join a Signal groupMore classes to comeIn addition to repeating this class, here are the titles and brief descriptions of the other classes currently being prepared. You can already register your interest by email or Signal to those as well - and I'll just send you an email or text when they're ready.The Ghosts of Israel's Future, looking at what the horrors unleashed by Israel during the ongoing genocide reveal about that country's politics, and the people, Jews, Israelis and Palestinians alike, who predicted it. Estimated fee is $300 for 5 sessions. Against Multipolar Imperialism, looking at why we cannot accept multipolarity as a valid alternative to a US-dominated world, especially as that involves accepting authoritarian states and effectively sacrificing whole populations as collateral. We will look at China, Taiwan, Ukraine, Russia, so-called Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, Hong Kong, Syria, Israel-Palestine, Iran, El Salvador, Argentina, Tigray and Ethiopia, Bosnia and of course Lebanon. Estimated fee is $300 for 5 sessions. Cancelling the Apocalypse: From James Baldwin to Solarpunk and beyond. Estimated fee is $300 for 5 sessions. Postwar Hauntings: Modern Lebanon Through Its Cinema. This will be a much more in-depth exploration of Lebanon post-1990 through its cinema, which was the topic of my PhD dissertation. We will watch movies, discuss them, and explore Lebanon through them. Estimated fee is $600 for 6 sessions.

In this episode, Jacob analyzes how conspiracy theory culture has grown across the political spectrum, using the recent Dave Smith vs. Seth Dillon exchange on Piers Morgan as a launchpad. Jacob reflects on the tension Christians face in a world overwhelmed by information, propaganda, and the rapid spread of mistrust toward institutions. Looking closely at foreign policy failures, government deception, and cultural tribalism, he explains why skepticism can be healthy — yet warns against replacing one blind trust with another. The conversation also explores how the rise of AI, deepfakes, and hyperpolarized online spaces makes discerning truth harder than ever, especially for Christians seeking to live faithfully in an empire of disinformation.Jacob then addresses how blowback, identity politics, and a broken media environment fuel radicalization on the right. Using examples like Nick Fuentes, Israel-Palestine debates, and reactions to Charlie Kirk's death, he explains how dishonest narratives — whether from governments, commentators, or influencers — strengthen the worst impulses in conspiracy theory culture. Instead of demonizing people or censoring them, Jacob argues for honest dialogue, principled skepticism, and Christian integrity. The episode closes with a call for the church to resist grievance-based politics and pursue truth, peace, and a kingdom-centered worldview in the midst of cultural chaos.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

We’re happy she cares–and we wish she’d do a little more research, it’s not as if it’s ONLY Christians being targeted. Our hosts chat with Marc Lamont Hill about events on the continent. Mamdani met with Trump in the Oval Office at the end of last week and had a rather chummy press conference with the president he repeatedly called a “fascist.” Our hosts have diverging opinions on the relevance and meaning of this moment, was this bad optics or cunning politics? Rankin County jail guards filmed themselves mocking and torturing a Black inmate with intellectual disabilities, rewarding him with a coca-cola after electrocuting him for fun. Some incidents are so horrific we have to pause and ask: Why? What is the meaning of this? NFL quarterback Shadeur Sanders started in his first NFL game last Sunday. The rookie already has a reputation for being cocky–even by the standards of professional sports players–and made some comments after the game that turned heads.

This week, we're revisiting one of the most overlooked yet consequential chapters in the Arab–Israeli conflict: the 1929 Hebron Massacre. In just two days, 67 Jews were murdered and an ancient community was destroyed—all sparked by a lie about Jewish plans to take over Al-Aqsa, a false rumor whose fear and fury have echoed for generations. Understanding this story is essential to understanding the region itself. We're re-releasing this episode now because next week, Noam sits down with journalist and author Yardena Schwartz, author of Ghosts of a Holy War, to explore Hebron's past and present, and how the mythology surrounding Al-Aqsa continues to shape the conflict in profound ways.

In this powerful and unfiltered part 3 of episode 266, host Mike Ritland sits down with former U.S. Army Green Beret and Afghan-American Kawa Mawlayee — a first-generation immigrant who fled Soviet-occupied Afghanistan as a child, grew up in the American Midwest, and went on to serve 23 years in Special Forces, including multiple combat tours. What starts as a discussion about Trump's leadership style, tariffs, and manufacturing quickly evolves into a raw, no-holds-barred exploration of the biggest issues facing America in 2025: foreign policy hypocrisy, the military-industrial complex, the Israel-Palestine conflict, Islamophobia and the myth of “Sharia law takeover,” America-First nationalism vs. endless overseas entanglements, accountability in leadership, the future of the U.S. military under Pete Hegseth, and whether the country is sliding toward internal conflict. Kawa brings a rare perspective: a Muslim Green Beret who loves America deeply, calls out both parties, refuses PAC money, and isn't afraid to criticize Israel, U.S. foreign policy, or the current administration — all while still serving in the National Guard Special Forces. The result is one of the most honest, nuanced, and at times uncomfortable conversations you'll hear from two combat veterans who actually agree on far more than they disagree.

Andrew Day and Harrison Berger talk to Robert Malley about his new book, Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine. They also discuss the Gaza war, Barack Obama's and Donald Trump's unique approaches to Israel-Palestine, the rise of antisemitism, impediments to a two-state solution, and more. Recorded November 20, 2025.
Subscribe now to listen to the full episode. Danny talks with Jamie Beran, CEO of Bend the Arc, about the political and generational tension reshaping the American Jewish community. They discuss the fallout from Zoran Mamdani's mayoral campaign in New York; the role of legacy institutions like the ADL; how debates over Israel-Palestine, antisemitism, and safety are redefining American Jewish political identity; and what these shifts mean for progressive movements and Jewish organizations navigating rising authoritarianism in the United States.

After reflections on the Mamdani victory (0:30), Danny and Derek get into this week's stories: Trump threatens to invade Nigeria (10:10); in Israel-Palestine, a Gaza ceasefire update (19:31) and West Bank olive harvest violence (26:06); Afghanistan and Pakistan resume ceasefire talks (27:10); Sudan's IPC declares famine as the RSF prepares a new siege and agrees to a ceasefire (29:11); a new report details the UAE's role as a global gold smuggling hub (33:40); attacks on civilians continue in Ethiopia (36:30); Ukraine braces as Pokrovsk is about to fall (38:53); the Netherlands confirms a centrist election win (40:59); Putin orders plans for nuclear testing in response to Trump (43:23); reports suggest the U.S. may deploy special forces to Mexico (45:25); the U.S. is preparing strikes on Venezuela, though Trump is hesitating (47:45); and new revelations emerge about drug boat operations (51:23).
In this episode we dig into the shockwave that followed Zohran Mamdani's rise in the NYC mayoral race — how a 33-year-old democratic socialist upset establishment politics in America's largest city, and why his victory could reshape the national political landscape. We'll unpack Mamdani's platform: fare-free buses, rent freezes, city-owned grocery stores, and aggressive wealth taxes, but also his controversial past statements on Israel/Palestine, policing, and “seizing the means of production.” We'll ask tough questions: What does Mamdani's win say about the Democratic Party's direction? Are progressive candidates now viable at scale, or is this a localized anomaly? For the business community, urban governance, and national politics — what happens in New York doesn't stay in New York. We'll explore the fears of moderate Democrats and Republicans alike, how this could influence 2026 and beyond, and whether Mamdani's brand of politics can be replicated in other cities or states.By the end, you'll understand why this election wasn't just a local story but a potential inflection point for U.S. politics — how urban policy, identity politics, and ideological realignment collided in one of the most consequential mayoral contests in modern American history.Use "MG10" to save 10%https://vetstactical.comCarniVault now has single serving Freeze dried Beef-Chicken-Pork Use “EATMEAT” to save https://carnivault.comJoin my Patreonhttps://patreon.com/mikegloverJoin DEAD DROP INTEL for FREEhttps://deaddropintel.substack.com/?utm_source=global-searchUse MG25 to save 25% SITE WIDEhttps://thewolf21.com/products/stand-down-mushroom-sleep-gummies?selling_plan=2813067400

Are we living through an actual decline—or is that just a narrative fueled by polarization and economic anxiety? Tom and Michael clash over definitions, metrics, and the real-world symptoms of unrest, from “soft secession” among states to the creeping rise of populism and political violence. Together, they unpack the hidden costs of inflation, housing bubbles, and deficit spending, with Tom warning about a dangerous fork in the road ahead: revolution, civil war, or the quiet erosion into economic stagnation. Michael pushes back, claiming America is in “ascension” in some critical ways, but he doesn't shy away from calling out the breakdown in civic discourse and the silos fueling division. They dig into historical context, global comparisons, and the role of universities as modern indoctrination hubs. This conversation doesn't stop at politics—it veers into the future of AI, the meaning of tribalism, social credit scores, and how technological upheaval might drive us all into virtual worlds or leave millions behind. Buckle up for a wild ride through uncomfortable truths, dark humor, and some offbeat protein bar analogies—you're about to hear two radically different views not just of where America stands, but what could come next. 00:00 – Intro 00:34 – Michael Malice pushes back on “collapse” rhetoric 01:14 – America vs. the world: Perceptions of American power and value 04:16 – Political siloization and the shrinking space for dialogue 05:56 – Soft secession: State vs. federal power games 08:39 – Paths ahead: Civil War, Argentina, or revolution? 10:46 – Revolution mechanics: Is another 1860s-style war possible? 13:12 – Violence, political unrest, and expanding executive power 16:06 – Economic crushing of young people and the rise of populism 17:58 – Housing, inflation, and the struggle for the American Dream 20:08 – Currency as a store of value: Societal ruin and a lack of political will 23:10 – The Japan counterargument and the threshold for crisis 26:07 – What drives people to “blink” in political standoffs? 28:24 – Party priorities, empty rhetoric, and pivoting for power 32:00 – Economic disenfranchisement, the myth of moderate politics 36:56 – Populism vs. establishment: Energies within parties 39:03 – Political novelty, enthusiasm gaps, and voter turnout 41:38 – Global leftward drift: Authoritarianism in Canada, UK, and beyond 46:13 – “The time for talk is over”—what this actually means 47:27 – Universities as the “villains” and the creation of ruling elites 49:56 – Marxism, egalitarianism, and cultural bifurcation 52:02 – Cultural shifts, earnestness vs. revolution, and memory-holed leftism 54:00 – The dangers of social conformity and shifting the Overton window 56:29 – Can universities be reined in? 1:00:16 – Narrative control, new media chaos, and elite power after the Internet 1:06:49 – The politics of blame: Antisemitism, conspiracies, and populist rage 1:13:13 – Warning signs: Measuring society's health by its scapegoats 1:19:12 – Israel-Palestine, war, and the elusive search for peace 1:21:52 – The next stage: AI, algorithmic reality, and broken discourse 1:24:00 – Goal orientation, skills, and navigating “useful” beliefs 1:25:18 – Tribalism, isolation, and the dangers for moderates 1:26:46 – Alex Jones, Candace Owens, and why conspiracy theories persist 1:32:00 – First principles: How to actually challenge your beliefs 1:33:56 – A personal story: Sleep apnea, anxiety, and reclaiming clarity 1:37:21 – AI, automation, and the fate of surplus labor 1:40:08 – Brave New World, artificial difficulty, and the post-economic Matrix 1:48:56 – Hardwired for scarcity: The psychological cost of abundance 1:51:16 – Trade-offs, Thomas Sowell, and the “protein bar” thought experiment -------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out our ACU Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/ACUPodcast HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!

Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.
