Sanae Takaichi is not just set to be the first female prime minister of Japan -- and someone whose childhood hero was the legendary Margaret Thatcher. She also launched her global claim to fame by saying she “wanted to abandon the idea of work-life balance” and planned to “have everyone work like a workhorse.” Well, this has generated some push back from people who are apparently happy with Japan's 0 percent real GDP growth for over 30 years. In today's episode, David analyzes why Takaichi is starting off as his favorite leader on the planet. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On Friday, National Review published text messages from former Virginia House of Delegates member Jay Jones (D) sent to a Republican colleague — House Delegate Carrie Coyner — in 2022. In the messages, Jones expresses disdain for Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R), then says that he would shoot Gilbert in a hypothetical scenario where he could kill either him or dictators Pol Pot and Adolf Hitler. Jones went on to suggest that he wanted Gilbert's children to die from gun violence because it might prompt the speaker to change his stance on gun control.

Haley Strack, William F. Buckley Fellow in Political Journalism at National Review, joins The Steve Gruber Show to unpack a fierce demand from former President Trump: Jay Jones should drop out of Virginia's AG race over resurfaced “demented” text messages. The texts reveal disturbing violent fantasies toward GOP lawmakers. Strack analyzes the political fallout, how Democrats are reacting, and what this means for accountability in public office
This week on the Mark Levin Show, the broad parameters of the Trump Gaza peace plan are solid and positive. Key positives include: no restrictions on annexing Judea and Samaria (unlike earlier drafts); no automatic grant of a Palestinian state, as it requires an unlikely cultural transformation and uses non-binding language; and U.S. support for Israel to militarily confront Hamas if they reject or sabotage the deal. Later, young American communists believe that true communism has never been tried, despite its history of causing over 100 million deaths. This is due to ignorance and poor history education replaced by propaganda. Every communist regime has been destructive under tyrannical leaders. Democrats are not just the only concern, radio/TV hosts, podcasters and journalists are part of a larger issue. It is unacceptable that many of these hosts, who promote left-wing agendas or toxic conservative, lack a true understanding of the conservative movement, its principles, and its history. William F. Buckley Jr. founded National Review because he recognized the importance of quality journalism, a value that seems to have diminished in today's media landscape. Buckley identified the toxic elements within the conservative party and took extraordinary measures to combat that toxicity and the radical left. Buckley had a profound realization, one that resonates with us today: the destructive influence being wielded to spread hatred and undermine our faith and nation through our media and publications.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Democrats are not just the only concern, radio/TV hosts, podcasters and journalists are part of a larger issue. It is unacceptable that many of these hosts, who promote left-wing agendas or toxic conservative, lack a true understanding of the conservative movement, its principles, and its history. William F. Buckley Jr. founded National Review because he recognized the importance of quality journalism, a value that seems to have diminished in today's media landscape. Buckley identified the toxic elements within the conservative party and took extraordinary measures to combat that toxicity and the radical left. Buckley had a profound realization, one that resonates with us today: the destructive influence being wielded to spread hatred and undermine our faith and nation through our media and publications. Buckley was Catholic, and he did everything to reject the antisemitism that is growing in our nation. He said that we had to stop it, because it has a way of metastasizing into something dangerous and rejects all forms of antisemitism as a result. In addition, a terrorist attack at a UK synagogue in Manchester killed two people and injured many was devastating. The antisemitism continues to grow as it is being fueled by radical people in power and other countries. Qatar is trying to turn our own people against us by taking over our schools, funding and supporting Hamas and other terrorist front groups. This is a serious problem, and it is not just affecting our country, it is affecting other nations as well. This is what fuels these attacks, and it is disgusting and sick. Finally, Jack Ciattarelli calls in to discuss his race for NJ Governor against radical Mikie Sherrill. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Radio host and podcaster Craig Collins is in for Jim. Join Craig and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announcing new training standards and rules of engagement, young lefties insisting communism has never truly been attempted, and the revelation that nearly half of young people regularly get their news from TikTok.First, they review Sec. Hegseth's speech to generals and admirals at Quantico today. In addition to Hegseth's demand for elite fitness at all ranks and the eradication of woke policies in the military, Hegseth also focused on returning to one tough standard for everyone in order to serve in combat and getting rid of "stupid" rules of engagement. The left and the media were immediately critical, but are these good ideas for military readiness?Next, they examine a Jim Geraghty column at National Review on why so many young leftists insist communism has never been tried correctly. Greg outlines the bloody record of communist regimes throughout history, while Craig argues that the frustrations of younger generations, rooted in the 2008 financial crisis, won't be solved by embracing socialism or communism.Finally, they react to Pew Research polling showing 43 percent of Americans ages 18-29 regularly get their news from TikTok. Craig and Greg warn that while social media can provide reliable news if curated carefully, TikTok often pushes propaganda and indoctrination that can be harmful to young audiences.Please visit our great sponsors:Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

Scot and Jeff discuss the second part of Tom Waits' career (1983-2011) with Damon Linker.Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by guest Damon Linker. Damon is a senior lecturer in political science at the University of Pennsylvania, and publishes a Substack newsletter titled “Notes from the Middleground.” Follow him at @DamonLinker on Twitter.Damon's Music Pick: Tom WaitsWe sail tonight for Singapore and we're all as mad as hatters here. Yes, Political Beats finishes its two-part celebration of the career of Tom Waits, rejoined by doughty boatswain Damon Linker as we pilot our way to unknown musical seas. Tom Waits had a fine career up through the year 1982, when he finished work on the soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola's One from the Heart. But we're talking about the man primarily because of what happened afterwards, when he became more than just a down-and-out jazz pianist with the voice of a Babadook. Waits met script supervisor Kathleen Brennan on the set of the film and fell in love, marrying a year later. (They remain married to this day.) Proving herself the anti-Yoko Ono, Brennan then alchemically helped to raise Waits's music to an entirely new level of excitement and experimentation. His lyrics ideas become weirder, and more vivid. His ballads become infinitely more heartfelt (most of them are secretly addressed to Brennan). And his arrangements become a world of their own: Tom Waits begins, in 1983, to create glorious junk sculptures out of sound, using uncharacteristic (often minimalistic) instrumentation to create music that nobody has heard before.Through such landmarks of the 1980s and 1990s as Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, Bone Machine, and The Mule Variations, Tom Waits transcended his balladeering origin -- without ever leaving it entirely behind -- and created a body of work famous for its eccentric, compelling, and deeply influential series. Once you get past the fact that he has a voice like the sawblades of a lumber mill, entire worlds will open up to you. Click play and clap hands! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

No three words from the annals of World War II have echoed through the decades more deeply than General Douglas MacArthur's famous vow, following Japan's invasion of – and MacArthur's ordered retreat from – the Philippines. Yet, as Jonathan Horn provocatively relates in The Fate of the Generals: MacArthur, Wainwright, and the Epic Battle for the Philippines (Scribner), those same words have obscured a no less important vow by the American general MacArthur left behind to defend the archipelago – Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright IV. He promised to stay even when it meant becoming the war's highest-ranking American prisoner. Jonathan Horn is an author and former White House presidential speechwriter whose books include Washington's End and the Robert E. Lee biography The Man Who Would Not Be Washington, which was a Washington Post bestseller. He has written for outlets including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The New York Times Disunion series, New York Post, The Daily Beast, National Review, and POLITICO, and has appeared on CBS Sunday Morning, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and PBS NewsHour. A graduate of Yale, he lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with his wife, two children, and dog.

A reading of the early National Conservatism movement manifesto indicated a belief in the tenets of free enterprise, albeit with qualifications that would prove to undermine that which they said they wanted to uphold. Fast forward a few years since the movement crystalized in the public square, and it is very clear that NatCon can no longer advocate for what they said they once did, that the reason for this is their very own concession, and that what they said they energetically opposed is actually what they gave birth to. A case study in being treated as useful idiots by the politicos a movement helped empower. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

(I'm editing and finalizing this podcast in an airport. So please excuse any small glitches or errors today. I thought it important to get this podcast out asap.)Most people may have heard of Charlie Kirk in passing before he was assassinated on September 10, but if you are not “Gen Z” you likely didn't know much about him. I certainly didn't - until a few months ago when he hosted a debate at one of his Turning Point conferences. The discussion focused on whether America should support Israel and featured Josh Hammer - our STLV guest today - and Dave Smith, a “comedian” turned geopolitical expert. You can find the link to that podcast below, in the notes. It's worhh to watching.Josh had a long conversation with Charlie and a few others on the night before his murder. They discussed a range of issues relating to Israel, antisemitism and Jews. Charlie was preparing. He told Josh that 50% - FIFTY PERCENT - of the questions he dealt with these days were about - Jews. That is astonishing.Turning Point is an advocacy organization founded by Kirk which over the years has become one of the most influential political groups in America and, possibly, beyond. Not until his death did the extraordinary reach of this young man become apparent to - the masses. He had certainly made a name for himself among young Americans, touring relentlessly to speak and engage on critical issues: social, foreign, and economic policy. He angered many and affirmed others. He opened and probably closed minds. Charlie was tenacious, hardworking, sincere, and head strong. He was unwavering in his beliefs. All of them. Recently, he had also come under attack by more than the usual detractors. Very big names in the podcast world - with millions of followers - turned on Kirk. They accused him of being a stooge for Israel. Some said he was rethinking his support for Israel and Jewish people and more than suggest that this angered the “wrong people.” Blame the Jews. Since his brutal death they've doubled down. It's beyond ghoulish.I was shaken and shocked when I heard about Kirk's murder. A young man. Earnest. Engaged. A husband and father. Gunned down while speaking to a group of students, as his wife and children watched. That our society has become so hateful, so dumb, so violent, should make us all stop. Think. And then think again. No bad pun intended but Kirk's assassination may well mark a turning point for America and western civilization. This epic war being waged on the foundational values of western liberal democracy is real. Dangerous. And could well destroy our way of life if we do not wake up. That was Charlie's message as well. I share some - but not all - of his views. But that's irrelevant. This isn't about me. What kind of world do we want to live in?Show your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivJosh Hammer is the author of the new book, Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West.

David looks at the danger that happens when we use hasty generalizations in our economic thinking. A company does something bad? Companies are bad. A business deal goes bad? Business deals are bad. A trading partners does wrong? Trading partners are bad. The illogical movement from a particular to a universal is flawed thinking, but when it gets put into practice, it undermines optimal economic outcomes and ignores the most basic of economic principles.
