  • Need another co-host

    One of the co-hosts is loud, prone to interrupting the other host, and doesn’t seem to listen to good questions like: “what about habeas corpus?” It’s a shame that the two hosts are so different in terms of their approach, volume and logic.

  • Good show

    There’s a lot of good stuff on this podcast, and one of the hosts is an experienced broadcast journalist who, notwithstanding whatever his personal views might be, strives to present a measured, thoughtful presentation of the issues.

    The other host is shrill, sometimes almost manic, and a pain to listen to.

    I still listen, as the issues are important. But one host needs a primer on broadcast and journalism basics. I’m sure this will offend the host in question, but I’m just trying to giv... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Naftali Bennett on the Two-State Solution and Jonathan Schanzer on Campus Antisemitism
Q: Why not a two-state solution? What would be your proposed solution?
Because they'll kill us. Not with people who want to kill you. Every time we gave the Palestinians a piece of land, they began killing Israelis.
Israel Hits Hezbollah Hard and a Tampa Man Fights for the IDF
Q: Can you explain the disconnect between American Jews and Israelis regarding the ongoing conflict?
There's a significant difference in the grief cycles between American Jews and Israelis, with Israelis dealing with ongoing real-time effects of war.
Israel Hits Hezbollah Hard and a Tampa Man Fights for the IDF
Q: When you came back from Israel the first time after you served your term, did you ever imagine that you would return as a reservist?
No, I didn't imagine I would return as a reservist but felt honored and proud when called upon.
ELNET and What happens If Israel Attacks Iran?
Q: What happens if Israel attacks Iran?
Iran has enough enriched uranium and could escalate quickly to a military nuclear program that poses an existential threat.
Protests in Gaza and Limits of Campus Free Speech
Q: What do you think about the deportation orders on students who express support for Hamas?
There are deep concerns regarding free speech rights, especially considering many students have not been charged with a crime, raising questions about the legal ramifications of such deportations.
