A nuclear deal between Washington and Riyadh breaks overnight — and Israel learns the terms from the same press release as everyone else. This week, Yonit and Jonathan dig into what the US–Saudi agreement does and doesn't include, why the normalization clause that was supposed to be attached appeared to be missing - before it was hastily added by Donald Trump, after the event - and what a nuclear-armed Saudi Arabia might mean a generation from now. Iran tensions rise again over Natanz, and Israel's election pregame produces a poll number that should worry Benjamin Netanyahu more than it seems to. Plus: a Likud campaign ad triggers exactly the backlash its makers intended, while this week's Mensch award category hails both a Hungarian chess master and a legendary Israeli anchor.   Visit our new website: www.unholy-podcast.com

This week, Yonit and Jonathan sit down with three first-time voters — Aviv, Yael and Dror — to talk about the topics that will shape these election - the judicial overhaul, whether Arab parties belong in a coalition, and the draft bill. October 7th moved each of them, but not the same way — one drifted toward the center, another sharply to the right. What they do agree on might be the most interesting part. Plus: what happens to a generation that has only ever known one prime minister. CHAPTERS: [00:00] Intro [00:21] Meet Aviv, Yael and Dror [03:29] Why Aviv says she might not stay [08:09] Yael on voting for the North [12:12] Dror's family, yeshiva, and the draft [17:05] How October 7th moved them in opposite directions [25:24] The fight over Arab parties in a coalition [30:41] The only prime minister they've ever known [34:57] Is there a generational vote? [37:35] Would they stay if they lose?

On today's episode, we discuss a wide-ranging mix of personal stories, current events, and remarkable human achievements. The hosts open with light banter about summer heat and everyday routines, then move into a heartfelt reflection on a recent family funeral, highlighting the emotional impact of live music and shared memories. They later shift to law enforcement encounters and concealed carry experiences, using real anecdotes to explore how attitude and behavior can shape outcomes in tense situations. The conversation culminates in an enthusiastic look at the breaking of the once “impossible” four-minute mile, spotlighting Josh Kerr's astonishing 3:42 run and what it reveals about psychological barriers and human potential. The episode closes with an energetic shoutout to PJ's Coffee and an invitation for listeners to share feedback and ideas via email, underscoring the show's community-focused, conversational style.

On today's episode, we discuss how a small corner of rural Louisiana is rapidly becoming one of the most important hubs for AI, energy, and space-age infrastructure on the planet. The hosts open with Meta's Richland Parish data center, explaining how its budget has ballooned from roughly 27 to 50 billion dollars, its planned power demand has jumped toward 5 gigawatts with gas and possible small nuclear plants, and why that tax base could transform local schools, roads, and jobs. They then turn to Argentina's new “non-human corporations” law, exploring what it means to let AI-run companies sign contracts, own assets, and operate without human shareholders—and what legal chaos might follow when things go wrong. From there, the conversation moves through humanoid robots and Tesla's Optimus plants, vending-machine-style automated stores, Microsoft's massive AI-assisted security patching, and New York's decision to freeze new AI data center projects, arguing that places that embrace automation and high-density compute will pull ahead economically. The episode closes with a look at SpaceX's “lucky 13” Starship launch, upgraded Starlink satellites, and flock cameras and genetic surveillance, tying together the promises and risks of a world where AI systems watch, decide, and increasingly own the infrastructure that shapes everyday life.

The US-Iran war is back on. The ceasefire has collapsed, the naval blockade is reimposed, and Israel is asking if a moment is coming when the missiles turn its way. With Yonit away, Jonathan is joined by New Yorker writer Ruth Margalit to make sense of a dizzying week: a jaw-dropping report that the Mossad cultivated Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — yes, that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — as an asset in a failed plot to topple the Iranian regime, and an election campaign in which Gadi Eisenkot is opening up a real lead over Benjamin Netanyahu. Can Mr. Security survive a race where even Likud voters might be drifting away? Plus: a World Cup dilemma for Jewish football fans, a Chutzpah award for a literary institution that forgot its own motto, and a Mensch that takes us to a Jerusalem cafe that refuses to close on Shabbat.   ⏱ CHAPTERS: [00:00] Intro [01:02] England out — a World Cup dilemma for Jewish fans [05:00] The US-Iran war is back on [08:44] Why Netanyahu wants the shadow of war [10:52] Congress votes on cutting aid to Israel [15:24] The Mossad's Ahmadinejad plot [21:30] Election set for October 27 — Eisenkot's rise [29:39] Mansour Abbas gambles on running alone [32:52] The Shin Bet investigates Channel 12 [40:16] Chutzpah & Mensch awards

This week, Axe and Heilemann are joined by a Hack from across the pond and all-around political savant, Jonathan Freedland. Jonathan is a Guardian columnist, host of Politics Weekly America, and co-host of Unholy, the podcast covering Israel and the Middle East. The Hacks dive into the biggest stories of the week, including the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham and the political legacy he leaves behind, Trump's war against Iran, the Democratic Party's evolving stance on Israel, chunky forearms, bin-faced politicians, and so much more.

On today's episode, we discuss how recent political developments, national security scares, and even wildlife encounters reveal the tension between danger, spin, and common sense in American life. The hosts break down Lindsey Graham's legacy, Mitch McConnell's mysterious health situation and succession timeline, and what those shifts could mean for control of the Senate and Trump's immigration agenda. They dive into rumors that a newly refitted Qatari “Air Force One” may have been compromised, exploring theories about supply-chain sabotage, CIA signals, and why Trump abruptly chose to fly home on the older presidential jet instead. The conversation then ranges from birthright citizenship and fears of foreign influence in U.S. elections to Trump's push to “remove pinch points” in oil and rare earth minerals by reshaping global alliances and trade. Along the way, they mix in lighter but vivid stories—like a Yellowstone bison launching an overconfident tourist into the air and family time shooting shotguns at “Paradise”—as reminders of how quickly overconfidence, whether with politics, planes, or buffalo, can get people hurt.

Donald Trump declares the Iran ceasefire dead, while a new poll has alarming news for Benjamin Netanyahu: New York's trenchantly anti-Israel mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is more popular with American Jews than he is.   This week, Yonit and Jonathan break down the collapse of the fragile Iran deal and why "amateur hour" US negotiators may have doomed it from the start. They unpack the Knesset's last-minute push to exempt the ultra-Orthodox from military service — as soldiers testify in tears about the price of a three-year war — as well as the less noisy bills eroding Israel's judicial independence. Plus: Rahm Emanuel's blunt warning about Israel's "content problem," and the wedding of two returned hostages that gave the week its one unambiguously happy ending.

When considering if a breakaway is appropriate or not, one could look at the story of b'nei Reuven v'Gad for a historical lesson.

Because spiritual warfare is real and Satan actively opposes the faith, God's people must anchor their joy not in circumstances but in His faithful work in the lives of those they love — a joy no enemy can destroy. 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:10 For more resources on this teaching please visit https://brcc.church/teachings/a-holy-joy-during-unholy-war/

A thousand days after October 7th — and Benjamin Netanyahu wants to talk about unity. This week, as Israel edges closer toward elections, Yonit and Jonathan discuss a prime minister campaigning on togetherness after- say his critics- a long career spent dividing Israelis against each other, and trace the strange alliance between Israel's nationalist right and the ultra-Orthodox parties who for the most part reject Zionism on principle.   Zohran Mamdani keeps doubling down on Israel and AIPAC, six months into his mayoralty — and sees no reason to slow down. And as America turns 250, Jonathan asks an uncomfortable question about what happens to a constitution when the people meant to enforce it simply don't.   Plus: our Chutzpah award goes to a finance minister taking credit for something he objected to while our Mensch of the week pulls off an unexpected feat of German diplomacy - and language.

On today's episode, we discuss how government secrecy, popular culture, and UFO disclosures intertwine to shape modern conspiracy thinking. Charlotte and the crew start with a humorous takedown of “stinky hippies,” then pivot to Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump's warnings about communism, cultural decay, and the manipulation of public spaces and values. From there, they dive into recent “big dumps” of classified UFO documents, speculating on whether these releases genuinely inform the public or conveniently distract from scandals like Epstein or past wars. The discussion highlights reports of unexplained NASA astronaut sightings, shifting commentary from figures like Neil deGrasse Tyson, and theories about CIA influence over science communication. The episode closes by examining claims from alleged crash-retrieval operatives and questioning how much of the official narrative around UFOs, war, and technology the public should really trust.

Move over, Bridezillas — here come the "Cover Charge Brides." Some couples are charging guests anywhere from $10 to $1,000 or more just to attend their weddings! Unlike destination weddings, where guests may be expected to cover travel and lodging costs, these fees are simply for admission to the big day itself. Traditional wedding etiquette says the hosts pay for the wedding — not the guests. How would you react to a wedding cover charge?

Israel just learned that the US and Iran have agreed to a deconfliction cell with Lebanon — and Israel wasn't in the room. As the dust settles on a war whose outcome is, at best, ambiguous, Yonit and Jonathan sit down with former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who wants his old job back. Bennett doesn't hold back: on why he believes this government dragged out a war Israel was never built to fight, on the "infinite power of propaganda" keeping Netanyahu afloat three years after October 7th, and on whether he can trust Trump — or JD Vance — to look out for Israel's interests when Israel isn't at the table. He also lays out, in detail, what he'd do differently on the Haredi draft, the judiciary, the Palestinians, and Ben Gvir and Smotrich — and admits the polls aren't moving the way he hoped.   00:00 Introduction: Naftali Bennett joins Unholy 00:09 The Iran deal and the deconfliction cell with Lebanon 03:18 Would he have avoided this war altogether? 06:29 Did Netanyahu prolong the war for political reasons? 08:05 Trust in Trump and JD Vance on Iran 13:11 Reports the Trump administration is opening channels to him 15:19 What would actually change if Bennett became PM? 17:39 The Kogat story: improving Palestinian quality of life without a state 21:51 Pushback: is a two-state "spectrum" really viable? 24:06 Why he opposes full Palestinian sovereignty 24:39 Mansour Abbas and Arab parties in a Bennett coalition 26:52 Lapid, the polls, and stepping aside for Eisenkot 29:34 Judicial reform: would he continue where this government left off? 31:26 Why Ben Gvir and Smotrich are out 33:51 Fears of a "January 6th" scenario in Israel 36:16 Was joining forces with Lapid a mistake? 39:21 Did Bennett change, or did Israel change? 42:05 The story that brought him back: a scientist in tears 44:43 How is Netanyahu still in this race?

On today's episode, we discuss everything from Dwayne's “Popeye” cruise-ship breakfast at Emeril's Bistro to the latest adventures (and misadventures) with Tesla's full self-driving update, including a widely reported 90‑mph house crash that the guys strongly suspect was not actually Autopilot's fault. They dig into the human-factors problem of mixed human/AI control—how easy it is to forget who's really driving—and why some of them actually want a future Tesla with no steering wheel so liability is crystal clear. From there, the conversation moves to geopolitics and institutions: the collapse of USAID funding for left‑wing NGOs in South America, a Trump‑aligned win in Colombia that finished counting votes in a day, and California's slow, “legal but rigged” election systems that they argue effectively repeal old anti‑“cooping” safeguards put in after Edgar Allan Poe's death. They also cover Britain's political shake‑up after Starmer's resignation, a scathing report on mass grooming‑gang crimes against girls, and growing worry about resurgent antisemitism amid younger generations who were never really taught about the Holocaust. The show wraps with speculation that J.D. Vance is now the odds‑on favorite as Trump's running mate and potential tiebreaker vote for the SAVE Act, plus the customary PJ's Coffee plug—complete with detailed directions, pastry recommendations, and an invitation for listeners to email topic ideas.

On today's episode, we discuss a grab bag of conspiratorial headlines, starting with the uproar over Donald Trump's new memorandum of understanding with Iran and why critics' reactions—rather than the text itself—may be the bigger story. The crew contrasts Obama's JCPOA “pallets of cash” with Trump's escrow-based deal that relies on Iranian behavior change and Gulf-state funding, while also debating whether issues like Iran's flogging of a singer for removing her hijab should factor into U.S. negotiations. They pivot to domestic culture-war flashpoints, including Major League Baseball Pride Nights, players forfeiting games rather than wear rainbow uniforms, and Bible verses on caps that leagues deem unacceptable speech. From there, the conversation ranges over topics like the Smithsonian's controversial exhibit equating punctuality and the nuclear family with “white culture,” allegations of long-running election fraud from 19th‑century “cooping” to modern homeless-voter manipulation, and a Nazi‑tattooed Maine Senate candidate whose comments about “overweight pansy” sheriffs go viral. The episode wraps up with lighter but still pointed asides on Tesla self‑driving updates, pool algae in the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, and how Trump's strategic use of profanity—and Charlotte's rare but potent cussing—can function as a rhetorical weapon in today's political theater.

As the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding is signed in Versailles — covering a ceasefire, sanctions relief, and billions in unfrozen assets, but saying nothing about uranium enrichment, centrifuges, ballistic missiles, or Iran's proxies — Israel is left reading a deal it wasn't part of and only received hours before Trump's signature. Yonit is joined this week by CNN senior global affairs analyst and Unholy co-author Bianna Golodryga, live from a New York celebrating the Knicks' first championship in 53 years, for a conversation about what this MOU actually says, what it doesn't, and what it means for a country that spent 40 days in shelters waiting for something better than this.

Thank you to Kimberly for the request. Creve Coeur, Missouri, is known for its affluent, charmed lifestyle. It's a kind of safe, quiet suburb where nothing bad ever happens. But in French, Creve Coeur translates to “broken heart,” and thirty-five years ago, that translation became a brutal reality for the family of Elizabeth Mackintosh. Elizabeth was a brilliant, fiercely independent, and strong-willed 50-year-old nurse from the Scottish Highlands who moved across the world to attend the prestigious Covenant Theological Seminary. She was just weeks away from graduation when her life was violently cut short. On Monday, March 26, 1990, Elizabeth unlocked the campus chapel at 4:00 AM for her routine cleaning shift. By 7:20 AM, she was found dead inside a restroom. The brutality of the attack shocked the community and baffled investigators. Join Jen and Cam as they discuss "An Unholy Act: Elizabeth Mackintosh."

In the hills of California, cult leader William E. Riker built a community known as Holy City...a town founded on racial segregation, strict control, and his own twisted interpretation of Christianity.

LESSON 163There Is No Death. The Son Of God Is Free.Death is a thought that takes on many forms, often unrecognized. It may appear as sadness, fear, anxiety or doubt; as anger, faithlessness and lack of trust; concern for bodies, envy, and all forms in which the wish to be as you are not may come to tempt you. All such thoughts are but reflections of the worshipping of death as savior and as giver of release.Embodiment of fear, the host of sin, god of the guilty and the lord of all illusions and deceptions, does the thought of death seem mighty. For it seems to hold all living things within its withered hand; all hopes and wishes in its blighting grasp; all goals perceived but in its sightless eyes. The frail, the helpless and the sick bow down before its image, thinking it alone is real, inevitable, worthy of their trust. For it alone will surely come.All things but death are seen to be unsure, too quickly lost however hard to gain, uncertain in their outcome, apt to fail the hopes they once engendered, and to leave the taste of dust and ashes in their wake, in place of aspirations and of dreams. But death is counted on. For it will come with certain footsteps when the time has come for its arrival. It will never fail to take all life as hostage to itself.Would you bow down to idols such as this? Here is the strength and might of God Himself perceived within an idol made of dust. Here is the opposite of God proclaimed as lord of all creation, stronger than God's Will for life, the endlessness of love and Heaven's perfect, changeless constancy. Here is the Will of Father and of Son defeated finally, and laid to rest beneath the headstone death has placed upon the body of the holy Son of God.Unholy in defeat, he has become what death would have him be. His epitaph, which death itself has written, gives no name to him, for he has passed to dust. It says but this: “Here lies a witness God is dead.” And this it writes again and still again, while all the while its worshippers agree, and kneeling down with foreheads to the ground, they whisper fearfully that it is so.It is impossible to worship death in any form, and still select a few you would not cherish and would yet avoid, while still believing in the rest. For death is total. Either all things die, or else they live and cannot die. No compromise is possible. For here again we see an obvious position, which we must accept if we be sane; what contradicts one thought entirely can not be true, unless its opposite is proven false.The idea of the death of God is so preposterous that even the insane have difficulty in believing it. For it implies that God was once alive and somehow perished; killed, apparently, by those who did not want Him to survive. Their stronger will could triumph over His, and so eternal life gave way to death. And with the Father died the Son as well.Death's worshippers may be afraid. And yet, can thoughts like these be fearful? If they saw that it is only this which they believe, they would be instantly released. And you will show them this today. There is no death, and we renounce it now in every form, for their salvation and our own as well. God made not death. Whatever form it takes must therefore be illusion. This the stand we take today. And it is given us to look past death, and see the life beyond.Our Father, bless our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would look upon the glorious reflection of Your Love which shines in everything. We live and move in You alone. We are not separate from Your eternal life. There is no death, for death is not Your Will. And we abide where You have placed us, in the life we share with You and with all living things, to be like You and part of You forever. We accept Your Thoughts as ours, and our will is one with Yours eternally. Amen.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

On today's episode, we discuss how a massive Lego investment turned into a legal and media circus involving franchise owners, YouTubers, and a very confused police department. The hosts walk through the story of Ed Mancil, an 83‑year‑old collector who consigned what was billed as the world's largest Lego Star Wars collection—worth somewhere between six figures and roughly 200,000 dollars—to a Bricks & Minifigs franchise in Salem, only to have the original franchisees abruptly leave the country while his sets and most of his payout seemingly vanished. When corporate and the new franchise owners refused to honor the consignment contract, claiming consignment was against company policy, Mancil's family turned to YouTuber “Reckless Ben,” who orchestrated a series of stunts and small‑claims suits to pressure the chain and publicize the dispute. Things escalated further when Utah's American Fork police, portrayed as having an unusually cozy relationship with local business owners, arrested Ben and his crew on charges like stalking after confrontations at the store and a raid on their Airbnb—only for unredacted body‑cam footage and hot‑mic audio to leak and raise serious questions about overreach and selective redaction. By the end, the conversation broadens into a critique of collectibles culture, franchise models, and “lawfare by PR,” with the hosts arguing that while the original store owners likely mishandled (or even sold off) the Lego collection, bringing in a reckless internet crusader turned what might have been a winnable civil dispute into a tangled mess where everyone looks compromised and the fate of the Lego trove remains a mystery.

Franklin Foer is the man who declared that the golden age of American Jewry is over - or at least ending. Two years on — in the aftermath of October 7th and the Gaza war, collapsing bipartisan support for Israel, a wave of antisemitism from both left and right, and a military misadventure in Iran — he thinks he underestimated the problem. This week, Yonit and Jonathan sit down with Foer, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of the landmark piece that became required reading in Jewish communities across America. They discuss whether the anti-AIPAC pledge that has become a feature of Democratic primaries is classical antisemitism in new clothing; how a forgotten Jewish genius from Odessa might explain what American Jews are supposed to do now; and why Foer refuses — loudly — to bow to fatalism. Also: Bob Dylan's existential crisis, Abraham Joshua Heschel's ode to the Sabbath, and how soccer helps explain at least one aspect of modern Jewish life. Guest: Franklin Foer, staff writer, The Atlantic ⏱ CHAPTERS: [00:00] Intro — Franklin Foer joins Unholy, The golden age Jewish Americans, what it was, why it's ending [04:46] The Impact of October 7th on American Jews [11:25] The Connection Between Israel and American Jewish Identity [22:32] Fatalism vs. persuasion — the Cold War argument  [28:35] How do you persuade non-Jews that antisemitism is bad for them?

This week Jonathan is in celebratory mode—and no, it's not only because it's the festival of Shavuot, but because his beloved Arsenal finally won the Premier League, sparking a spontaneous tribal gathering of ‘marauding revellers' in North London. Meanwhile, Yonit and Jonathan unpack the volatile situation with Iran, and ask where President Trump's vague threats of a renewed strike are heading. Then, it's wall-to-wall condemnation for National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, whose grotesque 56-second video taunting Gaza flotilla detainees was a nightmare for Israel's defenders especially. And Jonathan describes his visit to the Nova exhibition in London, which offers a powerful, heart-rending glimpse of the human faces of the October 7th massacre and the shocking refusal of much of the world to look directly at what happened on that day. Plus: a musical mensch for the ages.

Yonit and Jonathan discuss a week brimming with unresolved questions. Did Benjamin Netanyahu really travel to the UAE during the war with Iran? Why would he leak it now, and what led the UAE to issue such a quick denial? After a trip to China, where is Donald Trump heading on Iran? And inside Israel, as the political drama intensified with United Torah Judaism threatening to break ranks with the coalition over the draft bill's failure, could elections be held in September? And what role could be played by a possible plea bargain for Netanyahu? Finally, there's a crowded field for our mensch award this week – who will come out in front: a 100 year old international treasure or a newborn baby?

President Trump has a God problem. After criticizing the Pope and posting an image of himself as Jesus online, Trump has caused an uproar among his Christian base. This week, Alex speaks to Pastor Doug Pegitt about the crisis of conscience many faith leaders and parishioners are facing as their political leanings and moral beliefs collide. Then, she's joined by Jennifer Palmieri, former White House Communications Director under President Obama and Senior Advisor to the Clinton and Harris campaigns, to talk about the power of the Catholic swing vote and how Democrats could win over religious voters.
