On this episode, Tom Rose and Gary Bauer tackle the pressing issues of America's future and global peace. They begin with a discussion on the Democratic ticket, questioning whether a Christian governor would have faced the same scrutiny as a Jewish one. The conversation delves into the exclusion of Jews from various spaces in America, including the Democratic presidential ticket, and the broader implications of rising antisemitism.
Gary and Tom then shift focus to the media's double standards, particularly in their coverage of political figures like JD Vance and Governor Walz. They criticize the media's refusal to report on certain scandals and the impact of this selective reporting on public perception. The hosts also explore the current administration's handling of national security, especially concerning Iran and Israel.
The discussion takes a somber turn as they address the potential for a catastrophic war involving Israel and Iran. Gary and Tom express their concerns about the Biden administration's approach and the lack of strong American leadership in deterring Iran's aggressive actions. They argue that Israel must take the war to Iran to ensure its survival and highlight the importance of restoring deterrence in the Middle East.
The episode concludes with a critical look at the upcoming election and the challenges facing the Republican campaign. Tom and Gary emphasize the need for debates and the importance of focusing on policy rather than personality. They also discuss the significance of volunteer efforts at polling places and the broader cultural and political shifts in the West.
