Doug and Pesach sit down with investigative journalist Daniel Greenfield of the Frontpage Magazine and The Horowitz Freedom Center. Daniel shares his wealth of knowledge and expert analysis on the topic of the Left in America and around the world. Although the Progressive Left movement appears fairly new, in truth, he demonstrates that the principles that animate this movement have been around for millennia.

Doug and Pesach discuss the complex and controversial ceasefire-hostage deal recently signed between Israel and Hamas. Is the release of 1700 Hamas terrorists going to cost more Israeli lives in the future than those being released in this deal? Do the terms of the deal tie Israel's hands, making the goal of destroying Hamas unreachable? Will Netanyahu's governing coalition survive if the deal falls apart (or if it succeeds)? And what can we expect from the Trump administration going forward if the deal falls apart? All these questions hang over this tense situation even as we rejoice for those who are being rescued.

Pesach and Doug dive into a gut-wrenching conversation with Christian Post opinion writer and social commentator Brandon Showalter regarding his latest article, "No, gender doctors, kids don't have 'autonomy' to self-sterilize." Make no mistake, the fight is on for the next generation, and there is lots of money and a whole system determined to take our children away from us. Whether we realize it or not, this problem is widespread in western cultures. When this system is at its strength, it encourages kids as young as 12 and 13 to have their genitals or breasts removed and to take hormone drugs, thereby confusing a whole generation.
The rapid acceptance of this new cultural reality is affecting thousands of families directly, as well as millions of people who have begun to question things that they assumed were true. This episode is mandatory listening for anyone who sees the danger and wants to fight back.

Everyone has seen the destructive powers of wokeness on the left, but does a parallel and dangerous brand of wokeness exist on the right, as well? Karys Rhea, editor of Epoch Times, argues that it does in her important article, "'America First' Divided: Why Trump and his men must guard against woke Right that mimics woke Left." Pesach and Doug sit down with Karys in order to look at the Trump movement's big tent that, while including new faces and names, has invited some factions into their midst that have brought fringe ideas into the mix. Strict isolations like Tucker Carlson and antisemites like Candace Owens have joined the Trump movement, and seem to have the ear of the president. What should we do?

In this episode, Pesach and Doug dive into a thought-provoking article from The Free Press written by an atheist mother who now regrets stripping her family’s holiday celebrations of their religious roots. Can a holiday still hold deep meaning when its spiritual essence is removed? The discussion explores whether it’s possible to celebrate religious holidays without religion, while still experiencing their transformative power. As Doug and Pesach navigate themes of obligation, obedience, and tradition, the conversation takes a fascinating turn: have modern, secular interpretations of holidays like Christmas caused us to lose sight of God? And even among those who emphasize the divine core of religion, do we sometimes make religion serve its people rather than helping people serve God? Join Pesach and Doug as they wrestle with how faith—or the lack of it—shapes the way we find meaning in celebration.

While Israel is at war with the Iranian axis, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, the Biden administration insists that a peaceful Middle East requires Israel to engage with a reformed Palestinian Authority. But how different is the PA from other terrorist organizations? Is there a realistic chance that it can serve as a viable peace partner, or is this nothing but extreme wishful thinking? Why does Prime Minister Netanyahu distrust the PA, and are his concerns based in fact? Palestinian Media Watch Founder and Director Itamar Marcus, whom the Algemeiner Journal called one of the "top 100 people positively influencing Jewish life or the State of Israel" (and who was called "the Goebbels of the 21st Century" by PA legislator Jibril Rajoub), joins Pesach and Doug to answer questions about the real character of the Palestinian Authority, and what is needed to ensure a peaceful future for Jews and Palestinians alike.

Pesach and Doug have the honor of speaking with Sami Steigmann, a survivor of the Holocaust. Sami’s journey is quite unlike many other survivor stories; he was an infant during World War II, and has no direct memories of his time in the concentration camp. He recounts the personal history that he has been able to piece together over the years, shares his opinions on the state of the world today, and outlines the lessons that he has learned and which he tries to impart to a world that is too eager to forget.
