Edwin plus Sharon Polsky, Clare Lopez, and Richard Heideman give updates on, respectively, global perils, antisemitism in Canada, the China threat, and the latest in legal action.

Edwin and the Ballot Boys—Josh Block and Juda Engelmayer—continue their incisive analysis of what’s ahead and what’s at stake in this contentious and consequential US election season. People on both sides view the other as existential threats. Where do we go from here?

In addition, Sharon Polsky reports on Canada, Marc Zell reports on voting from Israel, and Clare Lopez updates us on China.

The Ballot Boys—Josh Block and Juda Engelmayer—join Edwin to kick off the show’s election season coverage. Join us for a blunt look at what’s ahead—and what’s at stake, with additional reporting from Sharon Polsky and Marc Zell.

They’re some of the worst companies in America. The most criminal. The most exploitative. The most dangerous. The most incompetent. The most troubling. The most invasive. The list is long: Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Truist, IBM, General Motors, Ford, and more.

They’re bad company. Edwin, joined by tech and privacy guru Sharon Polsky, pulls no punches and spares no culprits. In addition, we’ll have several special reports on escalating worldwide tensions.

Americans have long thought of Canada as a haven of freedom and democracy, but the utopia to the north is gone. Is Canada descending into “post-national” intolerance, authoritarianism, and uber-control? Canadian Jews and many others are pondering emigration as Canada crumbles. Astute Canadian observers Sharon Polsky, Tom Korski, and Rob Anders join Edwin. In addition, Juda Engelmayer, Zalmi Unsdorfer, and Ken Abramowitz get us started on the tempestuous US election season.

Edwin takes on some unanswered—and still burning—questions. Almost every episode, we run out of time before we run out of questions. We save them, and these episodes give us a chance to address topics such as the Israel-Hamas War, global antisemitism, automation and AI, corporate bad behavior, privacy, China, electoral chaos, and more. Edwin also accepts new questions via the Zoom Q&A. Join us for another no-holds-barred, nothing-off-the-table session, with Talia Carner, Daniel Pipes, Sharon Polsky, and Zalmi Unsdorfer providing additional reporting.

Get ready: the Vintage Boys—Ken Abramowitz, Shel Freilich, Joshua London, Jeff Morgan, and Zalmi Unsdorfer—are back to help Edwin observe the Fourth of July. We’ll be talking serious election selection and without deflection. As well, our favorite whiskeys, wines, and other libations will be on display. BYOB, and don’t miss it.

To Love of America, Love of Israel, and Love of Fine Fluid.

On October 7, some 2,000 Hamas terrorists invaded Israel. Atrocities ensued against innocent civilian children, women, and men. Scores were abducted into Gaza.

Israel has promised to utterly destroy Hamas and its infrastructure with an “unprecedented response.”

Are residents of Gaza innocent civilians? Or are they complicit in Hamas’s acts of barbarity?

Foreign policy analyst Josh Block and international legal expert Avi Bell join Edwin; Rachel Ehrenfeld, Juda Engelmayer, Francisco Gil-White, Walid Phares, Sharon Polsky, and Zalmi Unsdorfer provide additional reports from around the world.

AI developers—who admit they don't understand how their creations work—have already disregarded most precautions that would make the process and products safer. Many legislators are ill-equipped to craft effective regulations—or even to understand the risks and requirements.

Privacy expert Sharon Polsky joins Edwin for an up-to-date, sobering look.

Tested road warriors Josh Block, Juda Engelmayer, and Sharon Polsky join Edwin to converse and commiserate about the best hotels, airlines, and restaurants around the world.

Hold those reservations.
