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. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and reporter Diana Bletter join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Tensions are high in Israel over the possibility of a proposed hostage deal. Schneider discusses the Sunday phone conversation between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden regarding the negotiations. She also reviews which Israeli officials are currently in Doha, along with Steve Witkoff, President-elect Donald Trump's Middle East envoy. Schneider says Netanyahu met with coalition leaders Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, as the prime minister needs those two powerful coalition partners on board to approve any hostage deal. Bletter talks about her visits to two northern kibbutz communities where residents have been evacuated for more than a year and now have to decide what the future holds for them. She also discusses a Weizmann Institute study about ants, and their ability to work well as a team, unlike their human counterparts. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Biden stresses ‘immediate need’ for hostage-truce deal in call with Netanyahu Netanyahu dispatches top negotiators to Qatar talks amid push to seal hostage deal PM to meet with Smotrich to gauge support for a potential hostage deal — report Inside the Lebanon-border closed military zone, kibbutz members prepare to start over Ants have more ‘group smarts’ than humans, Israeli study finds Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Dave interviews David McCormick from Legacy Lawyers to talk about e-commerce taxation in B.C., Canada, specifically regarding the Online Marketplace Services Act, the Ministry of Finance's choice to start charging Provincial Sales Tax (PST) to every B.C. based seller on each of Amazon's seller fees, and why this choice is ultimately flawed.  Let's be real - email marketing isn't flashy, but that's what makes it great. Who needs chaos when you can have steady, reliable results? That's where Omnisend email and SMS comes in. Check it out today and use code ECOMCREW.  E-commerce taxation is a huge mess in British Columbia right now.    If you're not from the great white north, then you should know that Amazon has been charging sellers PST since 2021 – something that Amazon wasn't exactly required to do.    The worst part? They've been charging this on sellers' global sales—whether those sales occurred in Canada, the United States, or Brunei Darussalam. Because of this, many BC sellers have been paying a minimum of 1% of their sales (and most will be closer to 2% or greater) in provincial sales tax (PST).    The Big Takeaway: Provincial Sales Tax (PST) is being applied to fees paid by sellers, and not just customer orders. While Amazon has taken a conservative approach to PST collection by overcharging, sellers face challenges in obtaining refunds for overpaid PST. The Ministry of Finance have been very difficult to appeal with even when having a legitimate defense.  This leaves sellers with no choice; and they may need to engage legal help for refund applications. Political action is necessary to address unfair tax practices. Sellers should be proactive in communicating with their Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs).

Political Theorist B.J. (Bernard J.) Dobski has a new book focusing on Mark Twain's final published novel, Personal Reflections of Joan of Arc. As Dobski notes in his work and in our conversation, this is one of the more obscure texts by Twain, but Twain considered it his best work. Dobski's book is a close reading of Twain's Joan of Arc and an analysis of how this particular work, focusing on Joan of Arc's life through the narration of Sieur Louis De Conte (Joan's childhood friend and her secretary during her military undertakings), is part of Twain's larger efforts to understand the turn towards modernity, and all that entails. Mark Twain's Joan of Arc: Political Wisdom, Divine Justice, and the Origins of Modernity is part of series at Palgrave/MacMillan focusing on recovering political philosophy, and this book fits into that series particularly well. Mark Twain had a lifelong fascination with Joan of Arc. Twain's Joan serves, in the novel, as a kind of path out of the Middle Ages, and, in this way, is being positioned as a Machiavellian “princess”— embodying a political science more effectively than can the Church at the time. Dobski's interpretation explores the ways in which Joan of Arc, according to Twain, refounded and reformed France, taking many of Machiavelli's teachings into account. Another dimension of Twain's Joan of Arc is seen in context of the “historical maid” Joan of Arc and how both renderings are positioning a woman serving in a man's role. Dobski explains the controversy over Joan's attire—wearing men's clothing as a woman, which was one of the charges brought against her—and how these laws were designed to foreground the Church's teaching on modesty and decency and a means to regulate sexual ethics. This also reflects the maleness of Christ, which is not incidental to preserving the moral teachings that are rooted in the distinction between the sexes. But Joan is very much a woman in a man's world, and her success in the man's world challenges the Church's basis for these distinctions between female and male. Many of these entanglements are the focus of Twain's novel, and thus of Dobski's analysis of Personal Reflections of Joan of Arc. Ultimately, Personal Reflections of Joan of Arc: Political Wisdom, Divine Justice, and the Origins of Modernity digs into overarching and universal concerns, including the theological-philosophical conundrum, the claim of divine right by monarchs, and how to live a good life. B.J. Dobski skillfully follows Twain's curvy path through Joan of Arc's life and reputation to unpack Twain's own thinking about these perennial questions. Lilly J.

Twain's Joan serves, in the novel, as a kind of path out of the Middle Ages, and, in this way, is being positioned as a Machiavellian “princess”— embodying a political science more effectively than can the Church at the time. Dobski's interpretation explores the ways in which Joan of Arc, according to Twain, refounded and reformed France, taking many of Machiavelli's teachings into account. Another dimension of Twain's Joan of Arc is seen in context of the “historical maid” Joan of Arc and how both renderings are positioning a woman serving in a man's role. Dobski explains the controversy over Joan's attire—wearing men's clothing as a woman, which was one of the charges brought against her—and how these laws were designed to foreground the Church's teaching on modesty and decency and a means to regulate sexual ethics. This also reflects the maleness of Christ, which is not incidental to preserving the moral teachings that are rooted in the distinction between the sexes. But Joan is very much a woman in a man's world, and her success in the man's world challenges the Church's basis for these distinctions between female and male. Many of these entanglements are the focus of Twain's novel, and thus of Dobski's analysis of Personal Reflections of Joan of Arc. Ultimately, Personal Reflections of Joan of Arc: Political Wisdom, Divine Justice, and the Origins of Modernity digs into overarching and universal concerns, including the theological-philosophical conundrum, the claim of divine right by monarchs, and how to live a good life. B.J. Dobski skillfully follows Twain's curvy path through Joan of Arc's life and reputation to unpack Twain's own thinking about these perennial questions. Lilly J.

Political Theorist B.J. (Bernard J.) Dobski has a new book focusing on Mark Twain's final published novel, Personal Reflections of Joan of Arc. As Dobski notes in his work and in our conversation, this is one of the more obscure texts by Twain, but Twain considered it his best work. Dobski's book is a close reading of Twain's Joan of Arc and an analysis of how this particular work, focusing on Joan of Arc's life through the narration of Sieur Louis De Conte (Joan's childhood friend and her secretary during her military undertakings), is part of Twain's larger efforts to understand the turn towards modernity, and all that entails. Mark Twain's Joan of Arc: Political Wisdom, Divine Justice, and the Origins of Modernity is part of series at Palgrave/MacMillan focusing on recovering political philosophy, and this book fits into that series particularly well.

In June of 2024, I got an op-ed published in TheHill.com about Elon Musk's polarization -- specifically his affective polarization, which refers to how people perceive and treat their political opponents. Like many in our highly polarized, righteously angry society across the polical spectrum, Elon Musk treats the "other side" with much contempt and disdain. You can often find him insulting and demeaning people on his social media platform, as well as claiming to know with high certainty the hidden, malicious motives in his opponents' minds. In this episode, I read my op-ed and add some additional observations. Topics discussed include: How high-contempt approaches help create pushback from opponents and in that way are self-defeating; The importance of distinguishing 'what we believe' from 'how we engage'; How conflict influences more and more people, on both "sides," to behave in high-contempt ways; How we might criticize "our side" in order to encourage better ways of engaging.

Earlier this week, President Joe Biden signed an executive order banning offshore drilling in 625 million acres of ocean, which includes the entire east coast of the United States and parts of the Gulf of Mexico. The President stated that this action aims to protect coastal communities and marine ecosystems. This will prove to be a headache for President-elect Donald Trump, who campaigned on a "drill baby, drill" energy agenda and was planning to increase oil and gas production in the U.S., Senior Energy Market Analyst at the Price Futures Group and FOX News Contributor Phil Flynn joins the discussion to discuss the executive order's implications. Flynn explained the amount of oil off our coasts, the importance of America being energy independent, and how the U.S. is the safest and cleanest when drilling offshore. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.   Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with FOX Energy expert Phil Flynn, allowing you to learn more about the Learn more about your ad choices.

With just over a week remaining until President-elect Trump returns to the White House, his administration faces a daunting array of foreign policy challenges on multiple fronts. While headlines have focused on bold moves like reclaiming the Panama Canal and seeking control over Greenland from Denmark, the looming threats from adversaries like Russia, China, and Iran are more acute than when President-elect Trump first took office in 2017. General Jack Keane, a retired four-star General, Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, and Fox News Senior Strategic Analyst, assesses global affairs and offers insights into how the incoming president and his national security team can confront these challenges. Democrats started 2025 losing the presidency, and Republicans currently hold a supermajority, controlling both the House and the Senate. So, as the year begins and inauguration day comes up quickly, Democrats are left questioning what went wrong. Next month, the Democratic National Committee will elect a new chairman to replace outgoing party boss Jamie Harrison. FOX News Digital Reporter Paul Steinhauser describes what the future looks like for the party and shares who the top contenders for the position are.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It goes without saying that all of us have different life experiences, political beliefs, and professional practices.  These serve as our "lenses" through which we inevitably design and facilitate lessons.  Effective teachers are aware of these differences and the potential impact they have on students as both learners and people.  How a student receives or interacts with a lesson is affected by these lenses (theirs and yours).  We can't drive content  in a vacuum.  When we are more aware of these lenses, students are more likely to benefit from our process.

1973 began with Ken Saro-Wiwa being more publicly critical than ever of the Nigerian government he was a part of. Increasingly, he served two masters: he was a government commissioner and he was also advocating for the autonomy of the Ogoni people over their political and economic affairs. Fresh out of a civil war, Nigeria's authorities were intolerant of any form of agitation or activism, especially for ethnic autonomy.  But Saro-Wiwa persisted. He wrote petitions against Shell, and published articles like ‘Genocide in Nigeria: the Ogoni Tragedy'. Through these acts, Saro-Wiwa effectively crossed a line and the government responded in kind. In March 1973, a radio bulletin announced that the Rivers State Government had fired Saro-Wiwa. What did Saro-Wiwa do next? Who was Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro why does he loom large in the origins of Saro-Wiwa's eventual activism?  In this episode, Wale Lawal finds some answers. Learn more at ⁠⁠republic.com.ng/podcasts/⁠⁠.

President-elect Trump returned to Capitol Hill this week, paying his respects at former President Jimmy Carter's funeral on Thursday and meeting with Senate Republicans to ensure they're on the same page about how best to pass the President-elect's agenda. Meanwhile, Americans have watched in shock as wildfires rage across Southern California — causing the destruction of more than 10,000 structures and forcing over 180,000 residents to leave their homes. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram breaks down the week, from what's happening on Capitol Hill to what aid California may receive following these horrific events.  President Biden is wrapping up his final weeks in office with some big moves, including banning drilling on millions of acres along U.S. coasts, releasing prisoners from Guantanamo Bay, and blocking a Japanese company from merging with US Steel. Former State Department Spokeswoman for the Obama Administration Marie Harf discusses how President Biden's final actions in office will impact how people remember his legacy. Later, former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Jason Chaffetz explains how these final days for President Biden could open up more problems for President-elect Trump.

Is President-elect Donald Trump serious about making Canada America's 51st state? Canadians aren't on board with that idea, but could even raising the issue open the door to significant changes in our relationship with our neighbors to the north? Earlier this week, Shark Tank star and Canadian-born Businessman Kevin O'Leary talked about the pressure Trump has been putting on Canada. Unlike many of his countrymen, ‘Mr. Wonderful' is enticed by Trump's talk of having his birth nation become part of the US and explains why he'd like to see significant changes to America and Canada's agreements when it comes to immigration, currency, and commerce, O'Leary also weighed in on his desire to help purchase TikTok —and how he and some investors wrote to the Supreme Court as the social media platform's owners went to the high court Friday to block a ban on the app that could be imposed on January 19th if they do not cut ties with China. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.   Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, allowing you to hear more of his unique takes on Canada, TikTok, and the incoming Trump administration, Learn more about your ad choices.
