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. Israel’s Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter's son, Neria, is hospitalized in serious condition after a car-ramming attack mowed down the reservist soldier at a checkpoint in the central West Bank yesterday. This morning, Leiter updated reporters that doctors have stabilized Neria’s condition overnight. Horovitz tells us about the groundswell of support for the ambassador, who suffered the death of his son Moshe during the war in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address the United Nations General Assembly today at 9 pm Israel time. Horovitz describes the secrecy surrounding the premier's travel arrangements and what he is likely to focus on during his address. We also hear a sampling of the anti-Israel rhetoric and allegations from world leaders this week so far. The Central Elections Committee voted Wednesday in favor of petitions to disqualify the Joint List slate — made up of Balad, Hadash, and Ta’al — altogether as well as Mansour Abbas’s Ra’am party from running in the October 27 election, effectively barring all majority Arab parties from running in the election. Horovitz weighs in on whether any of these disqualifications could be upheld by the High Court of Justice next week upon appeal. It's only five weeks until the elections and Horovitz wonders: Why hasn't the Gadi Eisenkot campaign moved into high gear? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates. For further reading: Son of Israel’s US envoy, a soldier, seriously hurt in car-ramming attack in West Bank; assailant shot dead Election panel disqualifies all Arab parties, in move likely to be overturned; Balad leader also barred Eisenkot does not have this election sewn up.

Foodstuffs says all the election promises aimed at knocking the supermarket giants down a peg - won't change food prices. National and New Zealand First want to break up the co-op - something almost 500 owner-operators have criticised in an open letter. Labour's eyeing up a wholesale-retail split, while the Greens want to start a state-owned grocery chain. Foodstuffs North Island chief executive Chris Quin told Mike Hosking these measures all seem to be trying to target profits and the retail dollar.

Send Wilk a text with your feedback! (incoming msgs only - I can't reply) Lura Forcum returns to talk about a word that's everywhere in politics right now: purity test. Her recent USA Today op-ed argues that the Democratic Socialists of America have pulled the Democratic Party further left, and Wilk and Lura use that as a jumping-off point to dig into something people on both sides of the aisle will recognize: why political parties keep drifting toward their most extreme edges instead of the center.The conversation moves through Minnesota's record primary turnout, the DFL's shrinking influence against a rising DSA, and a line from the current Trump administration — that the president answers to Republicans, not the country — that Lura says marks a real break from how American politics used to operate. Underneath all of it is the same mechanism: purity tests turn political parties into something closer to gangs than coalitions. Pass the test, or you're out, regardless of what you actually believe.But this isn't just a diagnosis. Lura shares how she personally engages politically without becoming a partisan cheerleader — voting in primaries she isn't excited about, being upfront about which candidates disappoint her, and finding other voters willing to hold that same honest, non-cheerleading stance. Wilk and Lura agree that a healthy civic culture has to be modeled from the ground up, since parties have little incentive to dial back tribal loyalty on their own.Key Themes●       Purity tests turn political parties into something closer to gangs than coalitions — you pass the test or you're out, regardless of what you actually believe.●       Tribalism, not any single policy fight, is the real threat. A psychological switch flips once “our side” becomes identity rather than ideas — old wiring reasserting itself in modern politics.●       Political parties benefit from tribal loyalty, so there's little incentive from the top to dial it back. A healthier civic culture has to be modeled from the ground up, not handed down.●       Real change starts small: Lura describes voting in primaries she's not excited about, being upfront about which candidates disappoint her, and finding other voters willing to hold the same honest, non-cheerleading stance.●       Building something together across difference — not just disagreeing more politely — is what actually shifts a civic culture.Takeaways●       You don't have to pick a side entirely to participate. Disagreeing with your own party on some issues doesn't make you a traitor to it.●       Show up to primaries. Low-turnout primaries are exactly where purity-test politics gets its power.●       Find people, even a small group, willing to say “this worries me too” without it turning into partisan warfare — that's where a healthier civic culture starts.●       Learn more about Lura's work at her newsletter, How to Human, or connect with her on LinkedIn.About Lura ForcumLura Forcum, Ph.D., is a social psychologist, writer, and strategic advisor whose work focuses on political tribalism, polarization, and civic culture — how identity and belonging shape the way people engage, or disengage, with politics. She previously served as president of the Independent Center and now advises organizations working to strengthen civic engagement. She sits on the board of advisors for the Pro Human Foundation, writes the newsletter How to Human, and co-hosts the podcast We Made This Political.Learn more and connect with Lura Forcum:Website: https://luraforcum.substack.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luraforcum/Podcast: https://wemadethispolitical.substack.com/AllSides Student Journalism Award application process is open now!AllSides, a national leader in balanced news and media bias ratings, is awarding three students with Five Hundred Dollars for reporting on all sides of an issue.

The ANC has vowed to appeal the Electoral Court's decision against the party. The matter was brought by the ANC against the Electoral Commission.

National and Labour have both unveiled new plans to shake up the supermarket sector. National wants to investigate splitting Foodstuffs into two competing nationwide groups, while Labour is promising to make price gouging illegal – not just for supermarkets, but a range of essential goods and services. Both parties say they want to bring down the cost of living, but they’re taking very different approaches to the supermarket sector, while the minor parties have their own – not dissimilar ideas - about how to shake up the market.

Mike Madrid on why both parties are running on empty, and what's actually filling the vacuum.Mike Madrid, author of The Latino Century and co-founder of the Lincoln Project, joins Corey to argue that neither party is being reshaped so much as replaced.

Now, just for the avoidance of doubt, let me tell you what happened here with this mistake that led to 30,000 people missing out on Winter Energy Payments and benefits. It happened because Louise Upston passed a piece of legislation so fast, under urgency, in just two days last year that no one had time to spot the fact the law contained a mistake. What happened was that the law required MSD, the ministry, to check with people every year that they were still entitled to the money they were receiving. However, it didn't exclude pensioners and veterans receiving the Winter Energy Payment, which they get simply because they are pensioners and veterans. Of course, they should have been excluded under those circumstances because, once you're a pensioner, you're a pensioner. You're not going to stop being a pensioner; you'll be a pensioner until you die. Once you're a veteran, you're a veteran until you die. It doesn't change. So they should have been exempt from this law but they weren't because it went through the parliamentary process too quickly. This actually happens quite a lot. A few years ago, under urgency, Parliament realised that it had tabled and voted through the wrong piece of legislation because proceedings were moving so fast. It happens all the time. This Government has used urgency a lot. Jacinda Ardern's Government used urgency a lot as well. They often do it because they're running out of time but sometimes it's because they want to avoid too much attention being focused on what they're doing for an extended period. That's why, for example, National tabled and rushed through the Pay Equity Bill. They didn't want all the drama that would have come with people focusing on it for a long time. But they've been warned that, if they do this, the consequence of rushing legislation through is that mistakes may go unnoticed and therefore never get fixed. In this case, it's been particularly unfortunate because it has affected some of the most hard-up people in the country at the worst time of year: people relying on the pension and trying to heat their homes during winter. That is a really hard lesson for political parties on why they should not rush laws. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This month's update says that our political parties are broken - how do we know that to be true? Tune in to The Public Square® today to hear more. Topic: Elections The Public Square® with host Dave Zanotti thepublicsquare.com Air Date: Thursday, September 10, 2026

Is the Verbatim Investigations/C4 film which shows senior (now ex) Reform UK officials apparently engaged in procuring illegal foreign donations to the Party a “hoax”, as Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick have claimed, or a brilliant example of investigative journalism in the public interest (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXut3s90rUI)? And did the undercover operation breach journalistic ethics by crossing the line into “entrapment”, or did the evidence captured on film simply reveal the willingness of Reform's former Head of Policy, James Orr, and senior aide to Farage, Dan Jukes, to operate an “off the books” illegal donation scheme? What specific criminal offences under UK law are apparent from the broadcast footage and what defences might be run in he event of criminal charges? And is major Reform UK donor Aaron Banks right to say that the public “don't give a rat's arse” about the behaviour of Orr, Jukes and Farage as revealed by Verbatim's investigation? To debate the fascinating issues generated by the C4/Verbatim sting operation on Double Jeopardy, Tim Owen KC is joined by electoral and media law expert Gavin Millar KC who acted as legal advisor to Verbatim during the year-long undercover operation. In his first public interview since the documentary was published, Gavin explains the ethical principles which guide this kind of investigation, the criminal offences set out in the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 and the difference between the role of a journalist as opposed to that of the police when investigating potential wrongdoing by politicians. The duo discuss the weaknesses in current electoral law and the limited powers of the Electoral Commission to tackle dodgy financial dealings by political parties. -- Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy. With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future.  What happens when politics and law collide? How do politics shape the law - and when does the law push back? What happens when judicial independence is tested, human rights come under attack, or freedom of expression is challenged? And who really holds power in Britain's legal and political system?  Get answers to questions like these weekly on Wednesdays.  Double Jeopardy is presented by Ken Macdonald KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, and Tim Owen KC, as they break down the legal and political issues in Britain. From high-profile legal cases to the evolving state of British democracy, Double Jeopardy offers expert legal commentary on the most pressing topics in UK law, politics, and human rights.  Ken Macdonald KC served as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003 2008, shaping modern prosecutorial policy and advocating for the rule of law. He is a former Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, a crossbench member of the House of Lords, and a leading writer, commentator and broadcaster on politics and the rule of law. ​ Tim Owen KC has been involved in many of the most significant public, criminal and human rights law cases over the past four decades.  Both bring unparalleled experience from the frontline of Britain's legal and political landscape. ​ If you like The Rest Is Politics, Talking Politics, Law Pod UK and Today i Focus, you'll love Double Jeopardy.

Special series announcement! For the next four weeks, we're bringing you a special series as part of Kettering's America 250 initiative, “Democracy, Under Construction.” It's about key events in American history that have brought us toward, or away from, an inclusive democracy—and the work that remains to be done. We coproduced this series with our friends at a podcast called This Day. It's a history show, and they're doing a whole year of episodes about major events that shaped our nation. So, for the next four Tuesdays, you'll be hearing episodes of This Day in our feed, where their three cohosts and special guests discuss these important moments in American history. Learn more about the series here: https://kettering.org/america-250-podcast-series-begins-in-september/ If you enjoy this episode, go over to This Day's feed for two more episodes on each of these historical topics. The Context's host, Alex Lovit, will be the guest in the third episode each week. Listen to the episodes here: https://www.jodyavirgan.com/political-history-show For our kickoff episode in the series, we go to 1789. That's when the Founding Fathers spent months that summer hammering out the Constitution—and nearly forgot to include freedom. This Day hosts Jody Avirgan, Nicole Hemmer, and Kellie Carter Jackson are joined by Dahlia Lithwick of Slate to look at how the Bill of Rights came to exist: the philosophical fight over whether rights even needed to be written down, what ended up in it (and what didn't), and what it tells us about who the Founders were actually building this government for. Be sure to check out Dahlia's Amicus podcast and all her work at Slate. https://slate.com/author/dahlia-lithwick More about This Day: This Day podcast, hosted by Jody Avirgan and historians Nicole Hemmer and Kellie Carter Jackson, takes listeners beyond the head-spinning headlines of today and into the unexpected historical moments that have shaped American life and politics. This Day is part of the Radiotopia podcast network. Listen to the show here: https://www.jodyavirgan.com/political-history-show And finally: if you're in the Washington, DC, area, join us on Monday, October 19, 2026, for a live taping of This Day. Alex Lovit will join This Day hosts live on stage. The featured guest is Kettering Senior Fellow Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II. They will be in conversation about the moment of democratic realignment we are living through right now. Are we witnessing a fundamental shift in who holds power, who gets left out, and how race and class are reshaping the coalitions that define American politics? And what can history teach us about moments like this one? The event is open to the public, and tickets are available through the Howard Theatre: https://www.unionstagepresents.com/shows/this-day-live-the-next-realignment-presented-by-the-charles-f-kettering-foundation-19-oct Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How America's political parties are changing, and what that means for the upcoming November election

A look back at what mattered and what didn't, when it came to politics at the State Fair. Vineeta Sawkar talks with Blois Olson on the Morning Take segment of the WCCO Morning News.

A last-minute scramble before the party lists for Israel’s elections are finalized on September 8 has led to the disappearance of small parties, politicians switching parties and the dismissal of veteran ultra-Orthodox Knesset members by leaders who want to “refresh” their party lists. On the Haaretz Election Podcast, correspondents Linda Dayan and Etan Nechin reviewed the week’s big changes – along the return of October 7 conspiracy theories and the intermingling of U.S. and Israeli political campaigning with host Allison Kaplan Sommer. Dayan noted the leap by controversial Likud MK Tally Gotliv to the extremist Otzma Yehudit party led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, pointed out that the move “shows how much Likud has absorbed toxic far-right populism.” The drastic shrinking of Yesh Atid as its leader Yair Lapid has played second fiddle to more popular center-right figures like Benny Gantz, Naftali Bennett and Gadi Eisenkot, Nechin said, “represents the limitations of liberal Jewish Israeli society. ... There’s a segment of Israeli liberal society which deems itself very liberal and very open‑minded, but would rather cede to the right than explore new political possibilities." Nechin also discussed his decision to interview controversial streamer Hasan Piker and why, despite pushback, he felt it was important to be the first in the Israeli media to do so. "His platform, where young people – mostly men – might hear for the first time the term ‘anti‑Zionist’ or ‘settler colonialism’ or learn about Israel… makes him a person that is worth talking to," he said.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – In another example (in a long list) of how the Democrats and the Republicans are not the same, the Trump administration just tied federal food stamp and Social Security payments to state reporting of illegal immigrants. And then there is the federal crackdown on illegal alien commercial truck drivers who were given licenses by sanctuary Democrat states.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerCheck out my preferred gold & silver company: Revelation Gold GroupHelp support Pete's Walk to End Alzheimers here.All the links to Pete's Prep are free!

Prince Mashele has a warning for KwaZulu-Natal: when Jacob Zuma dies, he believes MK's hold on the province won't survive him. On this Daybreak, the political analyst spells out the party he's quietly building to replace the ANC, who he says is bankrolling it, and why he'd rather copy Singapore than "African democracy." Then Rob Hersov makes the case that Johannesburg is being run like 1920s Chicago, except the mafia here has captured the police, the courts and the boardroom too, and nobody agrees on who the city's Al Capone actually is. Johnny Copelyn, in one of his last interviews as HCI's boss, explains why South Africa is still sitting on oil and gas its neighbours are racing to exploit. Riël Malan explains why 36 failed startups taught him more than any MBA could. And Wall Street closes out August in the red as a hawkish Fed chair and a spiking oil price rattle markets, with one Californian utility down 20% in a single session.

Jeff is back after a long absence, and he explains why: the bipartisan insanity in America left him too disgusted to record, even for the nation's 250th birthday. He remembers the 1976 bicentennial, when kids collected special quarters, flags flew everywhere, and Americans actually liked their country. Compare that to now. What changed? Muslim terror supporters are winning elections coast to coast: Mamdani's New York, where tax dollars fund Israel-bashing puppet shows for four-year-olds, and Michigan, where Abdul El-Sayed will cruise into the Senate after answering a synagogue terror attack with "hurt people, hurt people." Jew hate is now the one issue uniting the far left and the Nazi right — and it wins. And Jeff is officially done defending Trump. Iran "unconditionally surrendered"? They're still firing missiles, rebuilding nuclear sites, and executing protesters while Trump begs for a deal and dangles F-35s in front of Turkey's fanatical dictator Erdogan. Compromised by Qatari billions or just a moron — either way, America's last chance is gone. Next week: Jeff finally takes on the Lindsay Clancy case.

If you disagree with the Democratic Socialists of America, does that mean you have to become a member of "the other party?" Tune in to The Public Square® today to hear more. Topic: Communism The Public Square® with host Dave Zanotti thepublicsquare.com Air Date: Wednesday, August 26, 2026

Guest host Krish Dunham uses the image of a three-ring circus to examine how fringe democratic-socialist ideas can move from the edges of a political party to its center. He argues that promises of free services, high taxation, weakened policing, open borders, and government control ignore the historical failures of socialism and communism. Drawing on American history, travel behind the former Iron Curtain, and his experience as a legal immigrant, Krish urges voters to listen closely to radical candidates, reject political apathy, defend free enterprise, and consider who ultimately pays when ideology replaces common sense.

What does the Bible actually say about politics, and what happens when Christians allow a political party to shape how they read Scripture?Biblical scholar Michael Rhodes joins us to discuss Reimagining Biblical Politics and why Christian political discipleship cannot be reduced to a handful of verses or a partisan platform. We explore Christian nationalism, immigration, poverty, justice, political power, and the ways both conservatives and progressives can allow partisan identity to shape their convictions.Rhodes walks through figures including the Hebrew midwives, Daniel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Jesus to show how Scripture offers several models for engaging public life. He also explains his distinction between “outpost politics” within the church and “pilgrim politics” in the wider world.Book: Reimagining Biblical Politics: What Scripture Says about Public Life and Why It Mattershttps://bookshop.org/a/112456/9781540967558GUEST BIOMichael J. Rhodes is Dean of Faculty and Lecturer in Old Testament at Carey Baptist College in Auckland, New Zealand. An ordained pastor in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, his scholarship focuses on Scripture, justice, poverty, economics, and public life. He is the author of Reimagining Biblical Politics, Just Discipleship, and Formative Feasting, and coauthor of Practicing the King's Economy. His work also draws on years of Christian community development in Kenya, South Memphis, and South Auckland.

Music Formats and Political EvolutionKoop and Russ discussed the evolution of music formats and storage media, sharing personal experiences with Columbia House, CDs, cassettes, and 8-tracks. They explored political topics, particularly the rise of socialism within the Democratic Party and compared it to the far-right takeover of the Republican Party in the 1990s. Russ analyzed the potential consequences of the Democratic Party's leftward shift, suggesting that losing the midterm elections could help the party realize the dangers of extreme positions, while also expressing concerns about the 2028 election and its implications for the electoral map.Political Party and Navy DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed political party dynamics, with Koop arguing that while the Republican Party has become more inclusive, the Democratic Party has embraced candidates with concerning views, including Bernie Sanders appearing with someone who has a Totenkopf tattoo. They also discussed conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln, with Koop debunking claims about sailors attempting suicide, stating that such reports lacked credibility. The conversation then shifted to their shared experiences visiting aircraft carriers, including the Kitty Hawk, and their interest in touring nuclear submarines.USS Abraham Lincoln Conditions AnalysisKoop and Russ discussed the conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, with Russ providing detailed analysis of the claims about poor conditions. Russ identified several inconsistencies in the reports, including sailors wearing hard hats incorrectly and using the term "boat" instead of "ship," suggesting the reports may have political motivations. They also discussed military life expectations and deployment conditions, with Russ emphasizing that naval deployments are challenging but not unprecedented, and that military service requires letting go of parental oversight.Military Logistics and Supply SystemsKoop and Russ discussed military logistics and supply systems, focusing on how equipment and supplies are pre-positioned around the world on ships and vessels that can deploy within 72 hours. They explained that the modern Army maintains a ratio of approximately 1 war fighter to 14 support personnel, highlighting the complexity of military logistics. The conversation also touched on personal experiences with field conditions and the importance of treating support personnel like cooks and medics with respect, as they play crucial roles in military operations.Military Logistics Operations DiscussionRuss and Koop discussed the importance of logistics in military operations, sharing experiences about the complex support systems required for combat operations. They highlighted how logistics includes everything from fuel and maintenance to medical services and described how military bases can quickly be established with prefabricated buildings to support deployed forces. The conversation also touched on their respective military backgrounds, with Koop mentioning his experience with motor pool operations and Russ sharing stories about his time at Fort Irwin, while they both noted how different military branches have evolved to consolidate logistics functions under a single organizational structure.Primary Election Updates and ResultsRuss provided updates on recent primaries, highlighting key results in Wyoming, Alaska, and Florida. In Alaska, the Democratic nominee Mary Peltola won 53% of the vote in the jungle primary, presenting a concern for Republicans. In Florida, Representative Byron Donalds won the Republican gubernatorial primary and is expected to defeat his Democratic opponent by a significant margin. Russ also noted the surprising defeat of Alexander Vindman in the Democratic Senate primary in Florida by democratic socialist Angie Nixon.Discussion on Vindman and MilitaryRuss and Koop discussed their negative opinions of Vindman, expressing disappointment that he did not receive a Bronze Star despite having a Purple Heart, which they attributed to poor performance. They shared personal military experiences, comparing their own awards and recognition, and reflected on their time in service. The conversation briefly touched on the upcoming Alaska Senate race, though the specific details were not fully discussed.Alaska Voting Strategy DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed the Democratic strategy in Alaska to confuse voters by having a candidate named Dan Sullivan appear on the ballot alongside the incumbent, which Russ described as a "dirty trick." They both expressed opposition to Alaska's ranked choice voting system, with Russ noting that the top four candidates advance to the general election despite Petola winning 48.1% of the vote. The conversation then shifted to personal anecdotes about Polynesian communities and college experiences, before briefly touching on NFL topics including Tony Romo and a potential Seahawks signing.Seattle Seahawks Season ProspectsKoop and Russ discussed the Seattle Seahawks' prospects for the upcoming season, with Russ expressing skepticism about repeating last year's success due to factors like back-to-back success being rare, the strong NFC competition, and potential injuries. Koop defended the team's position, highlighting improvements in defense and offensive line, as well as the potential of new players. They also debated the role of luck in last season's success and the challenges of replicating it.NFL and College Football DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed NFL predictions, with Koop expressing confidence in the Seahawks repeating as champions and placing bets on them. They also discussed college football reforms, agreeing that the transfer portal and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rules need regulation, with Koop supporting legislation for limited transfers and capped NIL payments, while Russ expressed concerns about federal government involvement in NCAA matters.Budget Living and Merchandise DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed their experiences with budget living in their twenties and the current perception of cost of living among younger generations. They also talked about their merchandise, including designs that have been popular and a recent instance of their design being copied by a Chinese company. Koop mentioned plans to explore selling their merchandise on Amazon and suggested potentially rebranding from "Two Grumpy Bastards" to "TGB." They agreed to discuss the Lindsay Clancy case in their next episode.Thank you for listening and subscribing and liking the hell out of us!Politics. Culture. Society. Science.
