Trump's State of the Union was the con job of the century: lies about "ending wars" and "securing the border" while drowning in Israeli money and Tel Aviv orders. This wasn't leadership — it was a victory lap for the foreign occupiers who control both parties. Until we drag these traitors out by the neck, America remains occupied and enslaved. Stacy Langton joins Stew to blow the lid off the Zionist Occupied Government's latest assault on American patriots in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced new snap elections for the end of March. It comes as her party sees resurgent support — thanks, especially, to her US counterpart President Donald Trump. Also, a health aid agreement between the US and Zimbabwe has collapsed after Harare rejected it over concerns about data sharing and sovereignty issues. And, dozens of humanitarian aid groups face expulsion from Gaza and the West Bank as soon as this weekend, unless they hand over detailed personal information about their staff to Israeli authorities.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Negotiators resumed US-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva on Thursday, hours after senior American officials made the case that Iran poses a major threat to the United States and is actively working toward a nuclear bomb. Horovitz updates us on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance's statements and describes the intense US military buildup in the Mideast. He then assesses the Israeli public's willingness to join in on any eventual strike against Iran and how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could leverage the crisis in this election year. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a two-day visit to Israel on Wednesday and Thursday, where he pledged to work in lockstep with the Jewish state to confront Islamist terrorism. In what Horovitz describes as a regrettably rare sentiment from world leaders, the Indian premier told the Knesset that his nation stands “firmly” with Israel. We learn what else happened behind the scenes. In an effort to circumvent a Supreme Court order to expand egalitarian prayer access at the Western Wall, lawmakers voted 56-47 Wednesday afternoon in favor of the preliminary reading of a bill giving the Chief Rabbinate full control over prayer at all parts of the holy site -- not just the Orthodox prayer plaza. It has drawn harsh condemnation from progressive Jewish groups, which condemned the controversial legislation as “patronizing and antisemitic.” Horovitz weighs in.

When Mohammad was 12 years old, he saw an Israeli soldier aiming at him. Seconds later, he shot Mohammad in the leg during the Great March of Return. The bullet severed the main nerve in Mohammad's leg. For months, Israel denied Mohammad his right to leave Gaza for urgent medical treatment. By the time he finally received care, it was too late. At 18, Mohammad was forced to make the brutal decision to amputate his own leg. In this episode of This is Palestine, we shed light on the documentary Severed, which follows Mohammad and his mother's life in Egypt after evacuating to continue his medical treatment during Israel's genocide in Gaza. We speak with Mohammad, the protagonist and co-producer of Severed, and with filmmaker and producer Jen Marlowe. Together, they explore what it means to survive injury, to be cut off from home, to carry the responsibility of telling the story of those still trapped in Gaza, and why Palestine must also be understood as a disability justice issue.

Tommy and Ben discuss seemingly imminent American military strikes on Iran despite the absence of clear goals or military plan, the lack of concern for both the Iranian public and US troops who are caught in the middle of President Trump's chaotic warmongering, and Tucker Carlson's striking interview with Mike Huckabee where Carlson pins him down on Israeli border expansion and justification for war with Iran. They also talk about the Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs and what it means for Trump's foreign policy, why companies like Anthropic may be the only hope to control the military's use of AI, a mass exodus of ISIS supporters from a detention camp in Syria, and FBI Director Kash Patel inserting himself into the US Men's hockey team's celebration at the Olympics. Then Tommy speaks to Ricardo Zúniga, founder of Dinámica Americas, about the significance of Mexican forces killing drug lord “El Mencho” and the resulting violence in the country. Preorder Ben's book All We Say: The Battle for American Identity: A History in 15 Speeches and subscribe to his Substack here.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 194 James Lindsay's second trip to Israel was very different from his first (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/11/am-yisrael-chai/). On this trip, he got what he calls his "Real Jerusalem Experience," and he did a wide variety of things, not so much a coherent, organized tour. In the process, he was introduced to Israeli and Jewish life in a new way, which has offered him insights on what it means to be American and why America is the way that it is. Perhaps most poignantly, while visiting Kibbutz Nir Oz with Seth Dillon, Rob McCoy, Karys Rhea, and others, he heard directly how the heartbeat of life, strength, and endurance in the face of tremendous evil and adversity can be summarized in two simple words: "Jewish values." Join James on this new episode of the New Discourses Podcast and travel with him through Israel for a second time. Latest from New Discourses Press!

As U.S. forces move closer to Iran, it appears more and more likely that the Trump administration is planning military action against the country for the second time in a year. Matt Kibbe is joined by Cato research fellow Jon Hoffman to discuss why the president has turned his back on his campaign promises not to start any new wars, why open conflict with Iran would be a disaster for the U.S., and why the wishes of the Israeli government seem to be more important than putting America first.

Israel's lighting campaign in the Sinai in 1956 resulted in a routing of the Egyptian forces and capture of the entire Sinai Peninsula in less than 100 hours. The threat of Egypt deploying its brand-new military hardware from the Soviet Union had been averted. But in a fluke of history, President Eisenhower, instead of siding with his natural allies, Britain, France and Israel, sided with the Soviet Union and Nasser's Egypt and demanded immediate Israeli withdrawal in return for nothing – or else! Eventually Israel received guarantees of right of passage through the Staits of Tiran and that the United Nations Expeditionary Force would be stationed in Gaza to prevent the penetration of Fedayeen terrorists into Israel. Israel's case against the unaccommodating Eisenhower administration, most notably Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, was assisted by Lyndon Johnson, Democratic leader in the Senate, and members of the press and Congress who were friends of Israel. The United States was employing a painful double standard by not doing anything as Hungarian protestors demanded freedom from Soviet oppression, and were murdered wholesale for their dissidence; yet the United States demanded with the threat of immediate sanctions, that Israel, which had gone to war for legitimate grievances, immediately withdraw from the entire Sinai. Israel gained from the battle a decade of quiet which was so necessary to build the State, and in the process demonstrated that the Middle East had a new military power.

Is the Middle East on the brink of a massive war or a historic nuclear deal that could change everything? This episode dissects President Trump's dramatic State of the Union warning to Iran, the looming U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, and the very real fear in Israel that missiles, from Iran, Hezbollah or the Houthis, could soon send millions running to bomb shelters. You'll learn why Israelis are deeply divided over whether any deal with the Islamic Republic can be trusted, what Trump's real red lines might be, how Netanyahu is navigating a political minefield with Washington, and why Hezbollah, Syria, Turkey and even India could shape what happens next.

There is a dire need for an interdisciplinary examination of the human cost of occupation through the lens of daily Palestinian experience in the West Bank. This episode explores the critically acclaimed work of Nathan Thrall, whose immersive narrative provides rare insight into the lived reality of Palestinians navigating Israeli systems of control that define life under occupation. There are prefixed structural inequalities embedded in the segregated apartheid landscape of Jerusalem and the West Bank that Palestinians including those within the diaspora must face daily—displacement from ancestral lands, violence from settlers, and systematic discrimination. Thrall's Pulitzer Prize-winning book explores the personal dimensions of a conflict often discussed in abstract geopolitical terms.Through intimate portrayals of individual Palestinians confronting institutional barriers and daily dignitary harms, his work humanizes the ancestral consequences of policies that separate communities, restrict movement, and create parallel legal systems based on ethnicity and religion. Pulitzer Prize winning author Nathan Thrall brings his unique perspective as an Israeli citizen who openly opposes what he describes as "the domination of one people by another" as perpetuated by the Israeli government.In his conversation with Professor Sahar Aziz, Nathan Thrall shares powerful excerpts from his work that capture the apartheid conditions experienced by West Bank Palestinians who live under military occupation while neighboring Israeli settlements enjoy full rights and protection. His narrative approach moves beyond headlines and statistics to reveal the emotional and psychological toll of occupation on individuals and families caught in systems designed to maintain separation and inequality.Join Sahar Aziz and Nathan Thrall in a conversation that offers listeners a deeper understanding of one of the world's most contested regions through the transformative lens of personal narrative and lived experience.Recommended Reading:Nathan Thrall,A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy(2023)Resources on Palestine and Palestinians -RutgersCenter for Security, Race and Rightsresources/palestinefacts/#Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Apartheid #ICC #HumanRightsSupport the showSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation: Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEbUfYcWGZapBNYvCObiCpp3qtxgH_jFy Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://csrr.rutgers.edu/newsroom/sign-up-for-newsletter/

In this interactive Q&A episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe addresses listener questions on a range of Jewish topics, starting with a critique of the musical/film Fiddler on the Roof. He argues it has harmed American Judaism by portraying Jewish observance as mere "tradition" rather than divine Torah commandments, leading to shaky foundations where practices become optional or emotion-based, rather than rooted in absolute truth and commitment to God. He contrasts this with the unbreakable commitment seen in truly Torah-observant individuals (e.g., refusing to desecrate Shabbos for any price) and ties the title's "fiddler on the roof" imagery to instability without Torah's protective "fence" (ma'akeh, the biblical requirement for railings on roofs to prevent falls).Other questions cover practical halacha, such as the sea splitting being on dry land (citing explicit verses in Exodus 14:29 and 15:19, not just midrash), kosher meat preferences (no halachic preference for rare/medium/well-done once kosher; focus on certified kosher and avoiding waste), grace after meals (Birkat Hamazon applies after bread; dessert is part of the meal for Birkat but not satiating, so separate brachot may apply), and the spies' sin (not lying about the land, but lacking self-belief and positive self-view, leading to negativity).The discussion extends to self-esteem as a mitzvah-like belief in oneself (paralleling belief in God), modesty in Torah knowledge, reflections on Schindler's List (a wake-up call against regret for not doing more mitzvos), handling late guests at meals (start reasonably without ruining Shabbos peace), beautifying mitzvos (zeh Eli v'anveihu – seeing God and glorifying Him with the best), Tu B'Shvat as a Rosh Hashanah for trees/produce/Torah growth (a powerful time for prayer on livelihood, learning, and shidduchim), and the era of Moshiach (clarity where the world recognizes Hashem as One, ending confusion/war, with righteous non-Jews welcomed in a house of prayer for all nations).Throughout, Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes intentional Judaism (kavanah), trusting Hashem (Hashem li lo ira – no fear when God is the pilot), avoiding anxiety through emunah, and prioritizing eternal mitzvos over fleeting concerns.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

Josh Sigurdson talks with journalist Patrick Henningsen of The 21st Century Wire at Anarchapulco in Puerto Vallarta following Patrick's trip to Iran. The entire narrative surrounding protests, nuclear arms and war when it comes to Iran is an absolute lie. From the claims of 70,000 protesters killed by the Iranian government to the claims that women can't show their hair. As former CIA head Mike Pompeo boasted about Israeli intelligence controlling the protests and as the Israeli Culture Minister claimed the same, the US government wants you to think that Iran is committing a genocide against its own people and the US must step in. We've seen much of this narrative get propped up in the past regarding Syria, Libya and yes, Iraq. So, what would regime change look like? Are we facing a World War 3 scenario? What are the real casualty numbers following the protests? Why does Israel care so much about Iran? Is the 7 Country Plan mentioned by General Wesley Clark over 26 years ago still alive and well? Will Russia or China get involved? Patrick tears apart the false narratives surrounding Iran in this video and even delves deep into the history of this conflict as well as what it may look like going forward into the future. This may be one of the most fascinating breakdowns on Iran we've seen. Stay tuned for more from WAM! BUY GOLD HERE: https://firstnationalbullion.com/schedule-consult/ Avoid CBDCs!

History does not whisper in our lifetime — it thunders. Nations are tested, alliances are strained, and the moral weight of leadership settles on those called to stand in the storm. In such moments, diplomacy is no longer ceremony. It is strategy. It is conviction. It is the voice of a nation carried across oceans. Today, we are honored to sit at one of the most consequential crossroads of our era with Michael 'Yechiel' Leiter, Israel's Ambassador to the United States. His appointment in January 2025 is not the result of a single moment, but the culmination of a life shaped by intellect, policy, and public service. He has served in senior advisory roles to Israel's leadership, including as chief of staff to Benjamin Netanyahu during his tenure as finance minister, and in key positions across government ministries and national institutions — from national education policy to strategic infrastructure oversight. In every arena, his work has required one essential quality: the ability to translate vision into reality. Yet Ambassador Leiter is not only a practitioner of statecraft — he is a scholar of it. Holding a Ph.D. in political philosophy from the University of Haifa, with advanced training in international relations and law, he has written and lectured extensively on democracy, governance, and the moral foundations of power. His book, John Locke's Political Philosophy and the Hebrew Bible, argues that modern democratic ideals are not merely products of secular Enlightenment thought, but are deeply rooted in biblical covenantal ideas — that authority is conditional, morally bound, and entrusted rather than absolute. Few diplomats arrive with both the academic depth to interpret history and the practical experience to help shape it. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and forged in Israel's public life, Ambassador Leiter stands as a bridge between worlds — scholarship and strategy, conviction and diplomacy, heritage and unfolding history. His earlier advocacy work on behalf of the Jewish community of Hebron positioned him as a key voice explaining one of Judaism's oldest cities — home to the Tomb of the Patriarchs — to international audiences, framing its story not only through conflict, but through history, faith, and continuity. And he carries something more — something deeply personal. His firstborn son, Lt. Col. Moshe Yedidya Leiter, an elite Israeli combat officer, was killed in action in Gaza following the war that erupted after October 7. That loss is inseparable from his public voice. When he speaks about Israel's security, democracy, and moral responsibility, he does so not only as a diplomat, but as a father who has borne the cost of national defense. Michael Leiter brings together three rare callings: senior government practitioner, trained political philosopher, and diplomatic representative. His career bridges theory and policy, scholarship and statecraft, faith and democracy. This is not merely an interview. It is a conversation at the fault line of our times. Ambassador Michael Leiter — welcome to the program. ——

Tucker Carlson continues to dominate headlines as tensions within Trump's MAGA movement escalate over his controversial stance on Israel. Just days ago, Carlson conducted a nearly three-hour interview with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel, framing their discussion around what he called "America's deeply unhealthy relationship with Israel." The visit sparked immediate backlash, with Carlson claiming he was briefly detained by Israeli authorities, though officials characterized it as routine passport screening.Ambassador Huckabee has become one of Carlson's most vocal critics within the administration. Speaking to All Israel News, Huckabee expressed strong disapproval of Carlson's repeated attacks on Trump's Israel policy, stating he hopes the White House stops allowing Carlson access. According to reporting, Carlson was at the White House on Monday, though the White House has not officially confirmed the purpose of the visit.The civil war within Republican circles has intensified significantly. Laura Loomer, a prominent Trump supporter and Jewish activist, launched a scathing attack on Carlson, accusing him of attacking Trump publicly while privately requesting White House meetings. She called for the administration to issue an official statement condemning him. Conservative commentator Mark Levin also weighed in, calling Carlson "toxic" and urging GOP leadership to distance themselves from him.On the media front, Carlson's independent venture continues to gain traction. Since leaving Fox News in 2023, he's built a substantial digital following through his show on X and YouTube, with episodes routinely drawing millions of views. According to media reports, he's exploring new projects including subscription-based content and exclusive video series, positioning himself as a leader in the shift away from traditional cable news toward independent digital platforms.A recent controversy emerged regarding a sponsorship deal with Hallow, a Catholic prayer and meditation app. The partnership, announced on February 18, prompted polarized reactions from Christian users. Some said they planned to abandon the app due to the association, while others praised the collaboration. The announcement occurred as Carlson was promoting an interview with evangelical pastor Fares Abraham discussing Middle Eastern Christians and Israeli occupation.Trump has reportedly urged Carlson privately to tone down his Israel rhetoric, though no public rebuke has materialized. Political analysts note that Carlson maintains significant influence over a vocal segment of Trump's base, making any major rift within the movement potentially damaging to Republican unity heading into 2026 midterm elections.According to Washington Post reporting, Carlson's activities may particularly complicate matters for Vice President JD Vance, who has benefited from Carlson's support but now carries the political baggage associated with the commentator's controversial positions.Thank you for tuning in to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast.

Told through the eyes of an Israeli combat officer who's haunted by the trauma of fighting in Gaza, Dog (Soncata Press 2025) is a gritty story about PTSD, the effects of war, and resilience. Dog was translated into English by the renowned New translator Yardenne Greenspan , and centers on “Geller,” once a prize-winning hero, who has spiraled into heroin addiction and lives from hit to hit, surrounded by filth, despair, and other broken men. Geller is barely surviving the streets of Tel Aviv when his days are brightened by the arrival of a stray dog. Dog leads him to Dorit, a lonely woman who has also experienced loss and living on edge of society. This moving novel, a Jewish Book Award winner, describes the anguish of Geller's brutal memories, the physical and mental wounds he'll carry always, and his quest to bend a spoon like Uri Geller. Yishai Ishi Ron is an acclaimed Israeli author, a former elite combat soldier, and a survivor of severe PTSD. Writing has been an essential part of his healing journey, enabling him to transform deeply personal wounds into stories of trauma, resilience, and redemption. Ron's previous works in Hebrew include Holiday Apocalypse, which was nominated for the Geffen Award, and Vincent's Nose, a children's book that was adapted into an award-winning play. Across genres, his writing continues to explore the fragile boundary between suffering and survival, silence and voice, despair and imagination. His next novel, The Girl Who Rode the White Lion, will be published by Soncata Press later in 2026. He's passionate about reading, especially world literature and contemporary Israeli fiction. Because of his PTSD, he doesn't leave the house very much and has a very close relationship with my wife of 29 years, Elinor. Yishai always writes while standing, usually at the kitchen island, because standing helps him maintain a certain emotional balance. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Jessica Steinberg speaking with Oscar film nominee Meyer Levinson-Blount. “Butcher’s Stain" is nominated for Best Live Action Short Film at the 2026 Oscars, after winning second place in the narrative category of the Student Academy Awards in the fall. The film follows Samir, an Arab butcher in Tel Aviv, who sets out on a journey to prove his innocence after he’s accused of removing posters of the hostages kidnapped to Gaza. Levinson-Blount discusses his own background as the inspiration for the making of the film during his studies at Tel Aviv Film School, which he describes as a "paradise," particularly during the two years of war. He talks about the themes of the film -- which draws on Levinson-Blount's own experiences working in Israeli supermarkets -- and revolves around a general thread of suspicion regarding the Arab community in Israel. The debut director also discusses how the film's story builds suspicion, then breaks that expectation, showing that people tend not to know that much about one another. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

A Sky News exclusive has found that at least 21 police forces in England are still using Microsoft Copilot, despite it being at the centre of the Maccabi Tel Aviv incident last year.In November, football fans of the Israeli team were banned from attending an away match against Aston Villa in Birmingham.West Midlands Police had determined the risk was too high. The resulting outcry – including from the UK Prime Minister – led to the force's Chief Constable standing down.The force eventually admitted it had included false information provided by artificial intelligence software in justifying the decision.So why are many other constabularies still using the same platform?Niall speaks to Sky News Sports Correspondent Rob Harris following his investigation.Microsoft has told Sky News it "continuously evaluates" Copilot and urges companies to review how they are using it.Producers: Paul Wilkinson and Sam GruetEditor: Mike Bovill

How can the visual arts be used to promote peace? Professor Mitchell investigates how the visual arts can not only incite violence, but also bear witness, reveal dangerous memories, transform violence, contribute to healing trauma and imagine more hopeful futures. Examples are taken from both current conflicts (Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Palestine) and past wars (Paul Nash and Otto Dix in the First World War, local artists in the Iran-Iraq War and the 1984 Rwandan genocide). Professor Mitchell analyses the ambivalent role of the visual arts in building peace.This lecture was recorded by professor Jolyon Mitchell on 11th February 2026 at Bernard's Inn Hall, LondonProfessor Jolyon Mitchell is Principal of St John's College, Durham and a Professor at Durham University who specialises in Religion, Violence and Peacebuilding, with reference to the arts and media. Educated at the Universities of Cambridge, Durham and Edinburgh, Professor Mitchell worked as a Producer and Journalist with BBC World service and Radio 4 before moving to the University of Edinburgh where he served as Director of CTPI (the Centre for Theology and Public Issues at the University of Edinburgh) and Academic Director for IASH (Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities). He is a former President of TRS-UK (2012-2018 - the national association for Theology and Religious Studies in the UK). He is author or editor of over a dozen books, as well as many chapters and articles, including Promoting Peace and Inciting Violence: The Role of Religion and Media (Routledge, 2012); Martyrdom: A Very Short Introduction (OUP, 2012); Religion and War: A Very Short Introduction (OUP, 2021), Religion and Peace (Wiley Blackwell, 2022), Picturing Peace: Photography, Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding (Bloomsbury, 2025) and Media Violence and Christian Ethics (CUP, 2007). He is currently finishing a book on A Passion for Performance: The mysterious resurgence of religious drama (OUP, 2027). He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA), an honorary fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and a life member of Clare Hall, at the University of Cambridge. Professor Mitchell has also served on international film juries at the Cannes, Berlin and Venice film festivals. He directs several projects on Peacebuilding, including one which led to a widely used co-edited volume on Peacebuilding and the Arts (Palgrave MacMillan, 2020). He has also worked with Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious leaders, as well as Palestinian and Israeli journalists, on a peace building project in Jerusalem and beyond. A keen cricketer and former marathon runner, he has lectured all over the world. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/peacebuilding-artsGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Epstein was the middle man connecting all the elites to the peon's they were seducing.  Most politicians today have been compromised by their lusts into the slavery of blackmail.  Epstein's mentor who recruited him into the Rothschilds syndicate was Robert Maxwell, a known Soviet spy with connections toAmerican,  British and Israeli intelligence.  The communists are talented in looking for unique ways to gain control of the world, while appearing to most as if they aren't doing anything at all.

Sometimes you just click with someone. By the end of my in-person interview with Israeli poet Rachel Tzvia Back, we were hugging — having laughed, cried, and truly connected in just 30 minutes. Why? Because she's awesome, yes, but also because her memoir, The Dark-Robed Mother, is so intimate, vulnerable, and beautiful that it would endear her to anyone. It's funny and hopeful, dark and poignant. It also portrays what happens to those who love you when you go through something no one can fix. This is why I do my podcast. For moments like this.

B.R is joined by Guns and Guillotines to discuss his path from Atheist to finding Christ, marriage and starting a family, how his views have changed from political to being informed by his newfound faith, the evils of the modern world and Israeli influence on US and British politics, and how the Epstein files are revealing that the rich and powerful have sadistic ties to not just child s*x trafficking, but ritualistic cannibalism. All that, and much more in this episode.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The next round of talks between the United States and Iran is scheduled for Thursday in Geneva. Even as US military pressure mounts, Tehran expressed hope that a nuclear agreement could be reached that would avert a looming attack. Berman updates on where things stand ahead of US President Donald Trump's State of the Union address tomorrow. We then turn back the clock to last week's inaugural Board of Peace meeting in DC. Washington secured some $7 billion in pledges toward Gaza’s recovery from key Mideast allies; five countries agreed to contribute troops to the International Stabilization Force tasked with phasing the IDF out of Gaza; and plans are advancing to deploy thousands of Palestinian police in Gaza within two months. What about Hamas demilitarization? Berman weighs in. In a program released Friday following his brief visit to Israel, right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson claimed the Israeli government targeted his family, called the Jewish state “probably the most violent country on earth” and aired numerous antisemitic tropes. We hear why the media personality is latching on to them -- and who is listening. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.
