In the wake of the devastating Hamas attacks on October 7th, we were joined by a figure central to Israeli politics and international diplomacy, Naftali Bennett. 

Bennett has been a dynamic figure in Israeli politics. His journey is marked by a transition from a high-achieving soldier in the Israel Defense Forces' elite Sayeret Matkal and Maglan units, to a successful tech entrepreneur. As the 13th Prime Minister of Israel, and later the Alternate Prime Minister, Bennett navigated through tumultuous times, marking his tenure with significant decisions on domestic and international fronts. 

In this episode, we discussed the events of October 7th and the ongoing war in an attempt to understand their implications on the future of Israel and the Middle East.

When we created The Daily Wire, we didn’t do it just to get into politics; we launched this company so that we could have a marked influence on the culture of America. So when we saw what was happening with Disney, the most influential children's brand on the planet, we knew we couldn’t sit still. We immediately got to work, and announced a commitment of $100M over 3 years to launch a children's entertainment company. Just this past week, we realized the launch of that commitment, and we call it Bentkey. I was joined by my Daily Wire co founder Jeremy Boreing to talk about our journey to get here, and what we hope to achieve with our company in the future.

Widely considered a preeminent voice in the defense of free speech and civil liberties, Greenwald’s writing and investigative work has broken a number of major stories on state abuses both in the United States and abroad. Most notably, the 2013 revelation that the NSA was secretly spying on American citizens, as evidenced by classified documents leaked by NSA sub-contractor Edward Snowden. 
In today’s episode, we discuss the state of honest journalism, whether the NSA, FBI, and CIA can be redeemed, as well as debate U.S. foreign policy and American interventionism from opposing viewpoints.

James O’Keefe is a writer, guerrilla journalist, and the founder and former President of the non-profit organization, Project Veritas. His investigative work, often involving undercover operatives equipped with hidden cameras, exposed numerous high-profile incidents of corruption, dishonesty, waste, and fraud in both public and private institutions. In February, James was fired by Project Veritas’ board, shortly after breaking a story in which Pfizer’s Director of Research and Development admitted the pharmaceutical company was conducting gain-of-function SARS-CoV-2 research.
 
In today’s episode, we discuss James’ ousting from the organization he founded, and his continued effort to bring truth through journalism to the American public with the creation of his latest venture, O’Keefe Media Group.

We’re able to agree — and disagree — on a number of topics, including renewable energy, campaign strategy, localism vs federalism, political power incentives, and the destructive outcomes of liberal policies in California. Plus, we debate nationalized healthcare, labor and economic incentives, and diagnose the current state of the Democrat and Republican parties.

In November 2022, the Vatican removed outspoken pro-life Roman Catholic priest Frank Pavone from the priesthood for “blasphemous communications on social media” and “persistent disobedience.” In this episode, Father Frank joins us to discuss the controversy around his dismissal, clergy resistance to addressing abortion, speaking moral truth in the political arena, Pope Francis and the future of the Catholic church, and more. 

Father Frank Pavone was ordained to the priesthood in 1988 and assigned to St. Charles’s Church in Staten Island. In 1993, he sought and obtained permission from Cardinal John O’Connor to devote his ministry to ending abortion, and was appointed director of Priests for Life. Father Pavone is also the President of the National Pro-Life Religious Council and the chairman of Rachel’s Vineyard, an organization offering weekend retreats in order to “renew, rebuild, and redeem hearts broken by abortion.”

Republicans are gaining momentum in key midterms races; and with federalism on the rise in our politics, watching republicans thrive in the gubernatorial races has been encouraging. In this episode, Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee joins us to discuss his own race for re-election and the current state of our country.

Before entering politics in 2018, Governor Lee was president of his grandfather’s business, where his leadership took the company’s annual revenue from $20 million to $140 million. His success in business has informed his governing policy; and as a result many companies, including The Daily Wire, have resettled in Tennessee in the wake of disastrous democratic policy. 

In Nashville, recent controversy at Vanderbilt University over transgender programs has directly involved Governor Lee in statewide protection of children. We will discuss. Plus, Lee breaks down his plans for abortion bans, job growth in TN, and places conservatives can win in the coming years.

Our guest, Jair Bolsonaro, is the current president of Brazil and is up for reelection at the end of October. President Bolsonaro has taken militantly conservative positions and targeted the country's corruption in allegedly controversial ways: killing government programs, opening up gun availability for law-abiding citizens, harsher treatment of criminals, and opening up more economic development in areas prized by environmentalists. He has been slandered as a facist, a dictator, and an authoritarian; but, his agenda of more assertive force to cut crime and promote traditional family values has made him hugely popular with Brazilians. 
 
In today's episode, we discuss if Brazil’s momentum away from big government could lead a way forward for other countries of South America. Plus, we discuss Bolsonaro’s experience dealing with the Trump administration compared with the Biden administration, his Covid policies, his political opponent – Lula Da Silva, and the significance of the upcoming Brazilian election.

The Babylon Bee may have seemed niche at one point, but today it’s the most popular satire on the internet - dominating where The Onion once stood. Seth Dillon bought the Babylon Bee in 2018 and has helped the company reach an average of 20 million page views per month. 

Whether out of idiocy or fear, the Bee is regularly fact checked by tech giants for its jokes. In early 2022, one joke led to the suspension of their official Twitter account and it is still locked today. In our episode, we discuss what it’s like creating satire in a politically charged climate. Plus, we dive into his viral abortion debate with Joe Rogan, the backlash conservatives face for criticizing pediatric gender surgery scandals, and more.

Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s life has been spent serving the state of Israel, from the Israel Defense Force to serving 5 terms as prime minister, and he’s shown no signs he’s done yet.

During his first term in the 90’s, the prime minister was foundational in tearing out most of the socialist government in Israel. His ongoing strategies resulted in fundamentally remaking the country, particularly in regards to economic freedom and military strength.

In our episode, PM Netanyahu recounts his lengthy career and explains what it looks like to continue keeping peace while on the edge of disaster at all times. Plus, he tells us about how he managed his relationship with the United States and what he has on the agenda if he is reelected.

Returning to the show, philosopher and scholar Yoram Hazony helps me dissect many of the developments in conservative thought. Yoram’s work has been vigorously discussed across both liberal and conservative media, most recently in response to his new book, “Conservatism: A Rediscovery”, where he writes of the “New Right” and America’s only way forward. 

Right now, the union is rattled. Military enlistment is plummeting, marxism is on the rise, and animus is rampant between the left and right. Join me and Yoram as we discuss our future, the gravest and immediate threats to the country, the case for limitations on free markets, and other vital subjects to rediscover.
