Description: “These failures are egregious, shocking, and have been tremendously costly for Israel.”

Haviv Rettig Gur argues that Netanyahu’s government has done enormous damage to Israel’s international standing, not just through its policies, but through its disastrous public diplomacy and the inflammatory rhetoric of its own ministers.

Allie Beth Stuckey and Deja Foxx: Do We Need Feminism?

Title: Allie Beth Stuckey and Deja Foxx: Do We Need Feminism?
Runtime: 1:10:13
Date posted: 29 days ago
Description: For more than a century, feminism fought to expand women’s choices, and in that time a lot of progress was made.

The right to vote. The right to work. Equal access to education. Protection from discrimination because you’re pregnant.

Those battles changed America.

But, somewhere along the way, a movement built around expanding women’s freedom became a source of profound disagreement over what women should actually do with that freedom. And increasingly, women find themselves judged from both directions for making the “wrong” choices.

There’s the trope of the work-obsessed, childless “cat lady,” the association of feminism with woke politics and cancel culture, and the notion that feminists want to advance women over men. The stereotype on the other side is just as blunt: that anti-feminists want to send women back to the 1940s, take away their agency, and “keep women in the kitchen.”

All of this be...

Will Israel Ditch Netanyahu? With Haviv Rettig Gur

Title: Will Israel Ditch Netanyahu? With Haviv Rettig Gur
Runtime: 1:08:43
Date posted: 29 days ago
Description: On the eve of October 7, many Israelis would have told you the greatest threat to their country came from within.

For nine months, hundreds of thousands of people had filled the streets every week to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to transform the judiciary. His critics said it would strip Israeli courts of their power to check the government, and some suspected it was designed to help Netanyahu escape his own corruption trial. It tore the country apart. Army reservists threatened to stop showing up for duty, and people talked openly about a “civil war.”

Then Hamas broke through the border, killed 1,200 people, and dragged 251 hostages into Gaza. The protests stopped. The war that followed spread across the region, and the fabric of the country changed forever.
Now, three years later, Israelis are finally getting their say. On October 27, in the first national vote since the massacre, they’ll decide whether Netanyahu, Israel’...

How the New Middle East Was Made | Bari Weiss and Simon Sebag Montefiore

Title: How the New Middle East Was Made | Bari Weiss and Simon Sebag Montefiore
Runtime: 1:08:44
Date posted: 1 month ago
Description: Last week I had the privilege of sitting down with one of the foremost historians of our time, Simon Sebag Montefiore. As I write this, his work has never felt more urgent.

“We’re in a new world of counterhistory,” he said recently. “A new world of counterhistory where neither historical facts nor present-time facts matter if they don’t fit the ideological orthodoxy.”

It is “our responsibility as historians,” he said, “to stand up and be unafraid to contradict conventional wisdom, surging conspiracies, witch hunts, purity tests, pile-ons that are used to crush debate . . . and to say persuasively, ‘This is what happened.’ ”

And that is what he does in his brilliant new book, The Cauldron: The Making of the Modern Middle East.

But don’t worry. This is Sebag. I promise you this is not some serious, dry textbook. There is a chapter in his book called “Fat Fucker” (which was the CIA’s code name for King F...

Title: What New York’s Governor Saw on 9/11
Runtime: 49:53
Date posted: 2 months ago
Description: Twenty-five years ago, then-governor George Pataki led New York through the deadliest terrorist attack in American history, one that killed nearly 3,000 people and left the nation’s financial capital in ash and rubble. On September 11, 2001, Pataki closed bridges and tunnels and refused his own security detail’s advice to retreat to an underground bunker in Albany. Later that day, he was sitting across from New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani in a makeshift command center in Lower Manhattan.

In the days and years that followed, Pataki saw a level of national unity that offered the only silver lining to that day. A quarter century later, that unity––even the basic understanding that the United States has been the target of a terrorist attack––has collapsed.

That collapse is what I asked Pataki about in our interview. For two decades, he has wrestled with the question he raised in his 2020 book Beyond the Great Divide: whether the terrorists ultimately...

“Gaza Is Where Truth Goes to Die” | John Spencer

Title: “Gaza Is Where Truth Goes to Die” | John Spencer
Runtime: 1:19:33
Date posted: 2 months ago
Description: The fear of the forever war has captivated the American mind—and not for entirely wrong reasons. Twenty years in Afghanistan. Nearly nine years in Iraq. In the wake, Americans have turned inward: A 2023 poll showed 53 percent of Republicans now say the United States should stay out of world affairs.

Even some of Donald Trump’s most ardent defenders have joined his critics. Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie asked, “Why are we going to war with Iran?” He added, “American families in my district want to know how this is going to help them pay for groceries. How does this make them any safer in their schools or in their neighborhoods? How does this help them pay for housing? Have we learned nothing?” Former Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene took a similar tack: “It’s always a lie, and it’s always America last.” Their critiques were echoed by congresspeople across the aisle. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, “People of rational sense in this cou...

The Case for Energy Abundance With Chris Wright

Title: The Case for Energy Abundance With Chris Wright
Runtime: 31:49
Date posted: 2 months ago
Description: Chris Wright has one of the most consequential, and least understood, jobs in Washington. As Trump's Secretary of Energy, he oversees the department responsible for shaping America's energy future: directing billions of dollars in research and development, influencing which energy technologies are built and scaled, and helping set the policies that will define the country's energy system for decades to come.

Under Wright, the Department of Energy has taken a sharp turn away from the policies of the Biden and Obama administrations. Instead of a major focus on climate change and a renewables-first agenda that sought to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, Wright has embraced what he calls "energy abundance": an all-of-the-above strategy that prioritizes expanding access to every energy source—including fossil fuels. The bet of this administration is that long-term human prosperity depends not on using less energy, but on producing far more of it. It's an approach that has its ...

Title: Inside the ‘Data Center Capital of the World’

Date posted: 2 months ago
Description: One of the wealthiest counties in the U.S. bet big on data centers—and is already seeing the results: huge increases in tax revenue, lower property taxes, and a new $102 million recreation center. The D.C. suburb of Loudoun County, Virginia, is now considered the “data center capital of the world,” housing more than 250 of them. The new infrastructure has brought jobs, economic development, and $1.1 billion in tax revenue in 2025 alone, all without raising taxes on residents.

But some locals aren’t happy. They have concerns about noise from generators, water usage, and changes to the region’s aesthetic character—not to mention a zoning loophole that’s allowed data center construction in the area to proceed for 25 years with minimal public input. In other words, residents feel shut out of the decision-making processes rapidly transforming their hometowns.

In order to make sense of Loudoun County’s data center dilemmas, Isabella Redjai sat down ...
