As the world waits for the upcoming ground operation in Gaza, Jeff Dunetz of Lidblog.com gives us background and updated information on the war. We discuss the big political reshuffle that led to the unity government, the effects of the mass mobilization, and the media coverage that has descended into farce at times.

Israel found itself in its worst war in 50 years, and Joe Biden still can't be found. Andrew Malcolm and I discuss two successive days of pre-noon "lids" at the White House, and the terrible way in which the media rushed to blame Israel for Hamas' barbaric attacks on civilians. The unseriousness of Biden and the media afflicts Congress as well.

What's it like to be immortal -- but still human? Breitbart's John Nolte explores that question in his new novel Borrowed Time, and talks with me about his process and his ambition for moving into apolitical fiction. We also discuss the state of the entertainment industry and the necessity of conservatives to engage it.

What lessons can we learn from 20 years in the free-speech battleground? The first lesson is that we're losing ground on it, as Andrew Malcolm and I discuss. What started off as a free market has rapidly turned into an exercise in government/Big Tech control and intimidation.  We also discuss the GOP debate, the five-alarm fire that wasn't on Capitol Hill, the GOP's circular firing squad, and more!

"What is truth?" The same question that blinded Pilate has done the same to modern culture. In his new book, "The War on Men," Dr. Owen Strachan diagnoses the destruction wrought by the nihilistic sexual revolution and trans ideology, especially on men. We discuss the theological and practical issues surrounding traditional male roles and biology and why women should read this book with a careful eye for the truth.

An attempt to reach out to Russian youth may end up alienating Catholics in central and eastern Europe from Pope Francis. Veteran Vaticanista Francis X. Rocca of The Wall Street Journal joins me to discuss his report on pushback coming to the Vatican from those Catholics who remember Soviet domination much better than the pontiff apparently does. We discuss Pope Francis' blind spot when it comes to the Cold War, whether he's making a purposeful effort to set himself up as an honest broker in the Russo-Ukrainian War, and end up talking a bit about the upcoming synod.

Robert Menendez remains defiant, but is anyone listening? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss Menendez's stunning defense and its utter lack of credibility. We also marvel at the Washington Post's repudiation of its own poll and why they're doing so. How much longer can the Protection Racket Media circle the wagons around Joe Biden?

Why does Medicare pay two different rates for the same procedures? Dr. Richard Kube of Prairie Spine & Pain Institute of Peoria, Illinois explains how government sets incentives that eliminate patient choice and forces independent providers to pack up. Thirteen years after ObamaCare, the problems are only getting worse -- but some common sense changes could at least start us on the path of real reform.

What has gotten into our governing elite these days? Andrew and I discuss sex scandals involving three politicians and what it says about our low expectations these days. We also wonder how Bob Dole and Daniel Inouye could get into a suit for decades, and then wonder why John Fetterman needs and exception. Did Mitt Romney have a point in his retirement?

Does Michelle Luhan Grisham have the authority to suspend the Constitution? Andrew Malcolm and I debate next steps in New Mexico, as well as Joe Biden's absence from 9/11 anniversary commemorations. Is the White House afraid to put him out in public, or do they just not care about the anniversary of the deaths of 3,000 Americans? Plus, Andrew delivers a verdict on fruitcake, and discusses the rush to conclusions in the media about the GOP primary.
