  • Superb

    I came to Call Me Back as an outsider. Not Jewish, not American but it quickly became one of the podcasts I look forward to most. Dan Senor has a rare gift. He asks the questions that actually matter. He listens properly and lets the conversation breathe without turning it into a performance.

    The guests are consistently exceptional. People with genuine expertise and skin in the game. The level of insight is serious without ever becoming inaccessible.

    What strikes me most is the honesty. No hedgi... more

  • Re Tal Becker 4/16/26

    Great episode (as always). One important question I hope you can come back to. Tal mentioned a few times that he likes to take a step back and look at the big picture. Where is China and Russia in this analysis? It’s one thing to speak about a regional alliance to minimize Iran’s power and impact, but the fact that this alliance will be with the Western powers begs the question of whether or not, and how, Russia and especially China may seek to minimize the impact of this alliance by helping I... more

  • Konservative MAGA Bubble

    Netanjahu hatte Trump zu diesem Krieg überredet, und jetzt liegt die Weltwirtschaft in Scherben. Nur in diesem Podcast scheint die Lage noch nicht angekommen zu sein. Und so übt man sich darin, militärische Feinheiten zu analysieren und tapfer weiterzumachen, als sei das alles vollkommen normal.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sneak Peek: Tal Becker on the Judea-Israel divide
Q: Is this comparison appropriate, and what can we learn from our history about potential divisions within the Israeli people?
Becker frames internal Jewish disagreements as a longstanding feature that has persisted through history, suggesting that dialogue and understanding are essential to maintaining a thriving community.
ISRAEL VOTES: A Political Shakeup in Israel? - with Amit Segal and Nadav Eyal
Q: What is Bennett's theory of the race in uniting with Lapid, and how does that shape his strategy for the election?
Bennett's theory centers on uniting the entire bloc around him first, then breaking to the right to capture Likud and other center-right voters; Lapid provides a stable infrastructure and centrist appeal that complements Bennett's right-leaning positioning, creating a path to a broad coalition if executed effectively.
ISRAEL VOTES: A Political Shakeup in Israel? - with Amit Segal and Nadav Eyal
Q: Amit, can you tell us a little more about who Bennett and Lapid are and how they came to politics?
Amit explains Lapid as the centrist, media-savvy politician who rose from entertainment into politics and Bennett as a right-leaning technocrat with a strong military and Yesha Council background; both entered politics separately and later formed a governing dynamic that blends their distinct bases.
Is the war going well? - a debate between Dan Shapiro and Mark Dubowitz
Q: Dan, given all that has happened, what would your advice be to the administration and where to go from here?
Shapiro advocates focusing on credible, coalition-backed strategies, leveraging diplomatic channels, maintaining deterrence, and balancing military actions with political and economic pressure to promote eventual regime change through Iranian internal dynamics rather than unilateral intervention.
Is the war going well? - a debate between Dan Shapiro and Mark Dubowitz
Q: Mark, what is your assessment of the current situation?
Mark Dubowitz stresses that the regime remains dangerous and that sustained, comprehensive pressure—including the possibility of military action supported by allies—is necessary to prevent Iran from reconstituting its capabilities, arguing for a decisive approach to red lines and leverage.
