The masks are off. The gaslighting is over. And in an act of incredible bravery, Ben Shapiro dropped a nuke on stage at Turning Point's AmFest. Though it was incredibly brave, we can't help but wonder if this helps the Jewish and Israel cause or hurts it, but we get into all of the details this week.   Included this week are updates from home in the US, Trump's latest and we remind everyone that things can always be worse with a ...

The guys return to the studio this week with Hanukkah gift fails, wizard hat origins, Elon Musk’s maybe-flying Roadster, and the main question of the week: is Tucker really moving to Qatar? One can only pray...   Also this week features Mossad sharks, Candace Owens contradictions, Nick Fuentes delusions, and Trump’s… well, very Trumpy takes. Of course we throw in some drunk raccoons and a noose lapel pin that probably shouldn't ...

For years at this point, social media has been alight with the constant stream of would-be self-made Gazan "reporters" providing their propaganda on the situation on the ground and running fundraisers to "help the poor Gazans." But what if it was all, as we suspected fiction?   Also this week we have Trump doing stand-up comedy on multiple fronts, the Trump-Mamdani meeting, updates on the Park East Synagogue protest, and more.   ...

Like everyone else, we thought we knew everything there was to know about United Hatzalah - at least the major info, so when we sat with Dovi, we didn't expect any earth shattering information. Oh how wrong we were! Learning about how United Hatzalah came to be, how it evolved after October 7th, and even more, how they are now using technology to make UH better than ever totally blew our minds, and we have a feeling it's going to ...

Just when we thought it couldn't get any weirder (or funnier) we got to see our President perfuming another head of state (Al Sharaa) and writing letters to another sitting President (Herzog) asking for a pardon for yet another head, Bibi. But it's not just with the Middle East - the President has his sites squarely on Venezuela, and their anxiety is beginning to show. Finally, Trump's feud with Marjorie Taylor Green has hit criti...

So Sliwa didn't drop out, the betting markets are putting a Mamdani win at 85% or more, and all the Jews around the world are thinking: is RFK right, and should we be INCREASING our consumption of foods with saturated fats??   Also this week we follow-up the Gaza Ceasefire, specifically the attacks from Hamas and Israel's retaliation, Hamas terrorists living it up in an Egyptian resort, and fresh calls for peace from Venezuela's Ma...

Yechiel Jacobs shot to stardom from his hysterical takes on the lunacy of the pro-Hamas demonstrators and activists, but there's much more to Yechiel than just those takes. We sat down with Yechiel to talk about his rise to fame, how he deals with the haters, and what we can expect to see from him from here.

He's one of the most requested interviewees, and we're excited to bring it to our listeners!

As we go move headlong into Season 6 (!) Israel moves headlong into a new peace proposal put forth by the Trump Administration, accepting it immediately while it waits for Hamas to do the same. At the same time, around the world things haven't changed much: another flotilla, more bias from the UN, and New York City inches closer to electing a Socialist Anti-Israel Mayor.   But all is not lost! We are hopeful that this year is going...
