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.

Pesach and Doug speak to Andrew Fox, the lead researcher on a groundbreaking report released by the Henry Jackson Society, that highlights the casualty numbers coming out of Gaza since October 7, 2023. The report separates facts from fiction, and is particularly powerful in that it uses Hamas’s own data, thus avoiding random speculation. Listen and see for yourself, as the numbers don’t lie.

Pesach and Doug try to make sense of the chaos in Syria. After Pesach interviews mideast expert Dr. Mordechai Kedar, Elliot Chodoff weighs in with his usual in-depth and wide-ranging analysis of the complex situation caused by the greatest geopolitical crisis the Middle East has seen in decades.

Pesach flies solo (with Doug unavailable due to a massive snowstorm) and has a conversation with Jonathan Benhamou, a commander in the IDF combat engineer corps who lost his leg in Gaza. Jonathan's story of courage and perseverance is a reminder that there are thousands of injured heroes who need our support. Also, DON'T MISS, Pesach's deep dive explanation of the current state of play between Israel, the US, Hezbollah, and Iran.

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.

IDF Reserve Major and military and Mideast expert Elliot Chodoff joins Doug and Pesach for a comprehensive update on the progress of Israel's war with Hamas and Hezbollah. With the Biden administration winding down and Iran's proxies scrambling to survive, the Middle East is as fragile as ever. Elliot, Doug, and Pesach clear the fog and make sense of it all.

Pesach and Doug sit down with former Israelil Ambassador to the United States Danny Ayalon to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The ambassador takes us into the room and behind the scenes in Oslo, Norway as he was part of the peace negotiations in 1993 with Yassar Arafat, Yitzak Rabin, and Bill Clinton. He also played a role in the decision in 2005 to pull out of Gaza. We then dive into the Trump Effect in the Middle East, and what can be expected in the future. Is Trump the one to bring peace to the Middle East? Will there be an end to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict? Be sure to catch this fascinating conversation.

Pesach and Doug dive into a special election episode the day after Donald Trump won the presidency for the 2nd time. Despite all the odds, the mainstream media, Democrats swapping candidates, legal action against him, and assasination attempts, he won both the electoral college and the popular vote. Pesach and Doug examine the data and what they see and anticipate from the Christian and Jewish communities. This election represents a seismic shift in the American political landscape and has ramifications far and wide; don't miss Doug and Pesach's unique take on what it means for people of faith across America.

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.
