A combination of rapid new and massively more destructive weapons coordinated by artificial intelligence will make this war 10 times as intense as the last encounter. With Hezbollah embedding thousands of missiles in civilian locations, the fight will probably exceed the "laws of war" and devastate populated areas--which Iran desires. The Lebanese people will suffer most.
Eran Lerman, VP, Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, John Hajjar, US Director, World Council of Cedars Revolution, Steven Emerson, founder of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, and Alex Traiman, JNS Jerusalem Bureau Chief join Edwin to drill into the details.

Air Date: - Season 2 - Episode 9 | UC Irvine’s student government organization recently passed an anti-Israel boycott resolution, complete with BDS agitators peppering the debate with offensive comments—an all-too-common experience for Jewish students today. Pro-Israel students at Tufts have been subjected to unprecedented harassment. Anti-Israel resolutions have no effect on university policy. What is their purpose other than to harass and marginalize Jewish students? What can be done about them? UCLA Professor and Daniel Pearl Foundation Cofounder Judea Pearl, UCI Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Douglas Haynes, Louis D.

Air Date: - Season 2 - Episode 6 | Twenty years ago this week, IBM and the Holocaust exposed with crystal clarity—backed up with a literal tower of physical documentation—that IBM knowingly organized all six phases of the Holocaust: identification, exclusion, confiscation, ghettoization, deportation, and even extermination, all under the micromanagement of its celebrated CEO, Thomas Watson, Sr., operating from his New York office on Madison Avenue, and later through European subsidiaries. IBM has never denied a word of the book. Now University of Miami Holocaust Scholar Samuel Edelman and JNS Jerusalem bureau chief Alex Traiman join Edwin as he shares the inside story behind the global revelation.
Air Date: - Season 2 - Episode 5 | Green living and ecopolitics bring us a future full of dreams and nightmares.

Fuel Freedom Foundation chairman Yossie Hollander and alt-energy expert Marc J. Rauch join Edwin Black, author of the award-winning Internal Combustion: How Corporations and Governments Addicted the World to Oil and Derailed the Alternatives.
Air Date: - Season 2 - Episode 4 | Is talk of a coming “police state” and domestic terrorism overreach warranted? How is China dictating part of our “cancel culture” and the rise of censorship?

Air Date: - Season 2 - Episode 1 | The new year is upon us but Democrats and Republicans are still arguing about who will actually take the presidential oath of office January 20.

JNS Jerusalem Bureau Chief Alex Traiman, political strategist Josh Block, and top crisis manager Juda Engelmayer join Edwin to examine the current state of the union.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 39 | Jeff Morgan of Covenant Wines, Josh London, Zalmi Unsdorfer, and Sheldon Freilich return for a special New Year’s Eve edition of the show to discuss old and new favorites, the year that was, and the year to come with Edwin.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 38 | Eugenics was America’s shameful, decades-long attempt to create a White, blond, and blue-eyed Master Race to dominate all others. More than 67,000 Americans were forcibly sterilized. This pseudo-scientific campaign of fake medicine and pseudo-genetics was exported to-and embraced by-Nazi Germany, where it was implemented as a core tenet of the Holocaust. Public health officials combined with intellectual elites to commit genocide here and abroad. The Carnegie Institution for Science has issued a statement acknowledging and apologizing for its role in eugenicide. Its parent, the Carnegie Corporation, has issued a similar statement. Both appear to have been posted in August 2020.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 37 | Zionism is central to Judaism. The Jewish peoples’ theology, history, and culture are irrevocably intertwined with the Land of Israel and have been for 3,500 years. But Jews everywhere are under orchestrated attack for their Zionist identities. Worse, many Jews today are ignorant of exactly why Judaism, Zionism, and the physical Land of Israel are so inseparable. Joining Edwin to dissect are Rabbi Yotav Eliach, author of the bestselling Judaism, Zionism and the Land of Israel, Alyza Lewin, president of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt of the Zionist Rabbinic Coalition, and Brooke Goldstein, who heads the Lawfare Project and #EndJewHatred.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 36 | Two years ago, people would have laughed at those who spoke of a Second Civil War. Today, no one is laughing. More and more people are asking if it is possible and doing so both in public and in private. Numerous unrelated, loosely related, and clearly connected troubles are and will continue to boil over and coalesce. Unlike the War Between the States, we may see a well-armed and more often street-armed, splotchy civil war that pits tribe against tribe, interest against interest, jurisdiction against jurisdiction, state against state, city against rural, military group against military group, law enforcement against law enforcement, and red against blue. What might accelerate it? What can slow it down? Seasoned observers weighed in.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 35 | In 2020, American Journalism—as we know it—finally died. It openly committed mediacide. The networks and newspapers pushed specific candidates, ignored and self-censored important news while magnifying small details and fake accusations, consciously pandered in bogus polls, and hyped divisive politics. It was the Pravdaization of the media. Tens of millions Americans, Democrats and Republicans, have just signed the death certificate, voting against big media and their pollsters. Democracy cannot exist without a free and vibrant press functioning as the permeable membrane between the governed and governance. What’s next? Seasoned media hands weigh in.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 34 | Election Night has come and gone—finally. But who will take the presidential oath of office next January 20th? Mail-in ballot controversies abound. In the critical swing state of Pennsylvania, several county boards have declared they will not begin processing mail ballots until the morning of November 4, even though state law holds that processing should begin at 7:00am on the 3rd. Both candidates have declared that they will only accept the results if the election “is not rigged.” Emails implicating Biden in a robust Chinese kick-back scheme—which he has not denied—have become a hot topic, as has censorship of the allegations by Twitter and major media. Variations in mail-in deadlines among the states—with SCOTUS issuing varying decisions on whether states may count ballots postmarked but not received “on time”—guarantee that we will not know the results on election night, and possibly not until the mid-December date by which time states must certify their counts.
Air Date: | Edwin Black hosts author Kenneth Abramowitz plus Rabbi Elie Abadie, Senior Rabbi, Jewish Council, United Arab Emirates; Alex Traiman, JNS Jerusalem Bureau Chief; Sarah Stern, EMET; Zalmi Unsdorfer, Likud UK; Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, American Center for Democracy; Rabbi Yotav Eliach, author of Judaism, Zionism, and the Land of Israel; and Martin Barillas, author of Shaken Earth for a special virtual launch event for his just-released book The Multifront War, which was praised as “stunning and incisive” by Jeanine Pirro.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 33 | America’s 2020 presidential election caused unprecedented jitters. Tens of thousands of mail ballots were erroneously issued or went astray. Both Trump and Biden said they would only accept the results if the election “is not rigged.” Revelations of undenied emails implicating Biden in a robust Chinese kick-back scheme—with Twitter and major media censoring the information—threw the campaigns into last-minute chaos. Political street violence broke out. Variations in mail-in deadlines among the states and ballot discrepancies guaranteed that election night would become weeks of uncertainty, claims, and counterclaims. Seasoned political strategist Josh Block, top crisis manager Juda Engelmayer, and threat analyst Ken Abramowitz joined Edwin to examine the last-minute controversies and consequences.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 32 | America’s upcoming November 3 election has been thrown into even greater and more unprecedented chaos. Ballot fraud in various states, and massive errors in mail-in voting programs, as well as disparate counting and validating procedures guarantee election night chaos. Republican party litigation to reshape voting procedures and Donald Trump’s unwillingness to state whether or not he will accept the electoral outcome, Democratic vows to not under any circumstances concede on election night, and statements from all sides that either candidate can only lose if the vote is rigged: all of this assures conflict right through Inauguration Day. Violence and militia plans in some states, such as Michigan, Oregon, and Virginia, have threatened to push us to the brink. Seasoned political strategist Josh Block, top crisis manager Juda Engelmayer, threat analyst and author Ken Abramowitz, and other experts join Edwin to examine the controversies and consequences.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 31 | America is fighting a major international war, says threat analyst Kenneth Abramowitz in his new and critically acclaimed book. The country does not really know how much it is under siege. Moreover, says the author, the war is being waged on a multitude of distinct fronts—both internal and external. Yet, the United States is wholly unprepared to fight a unified battle. How bad are the threats? Can America stand up to them? Author Abramowitz, top security analyst Walid Phares, and international terrorism expert Erick Stakelbeck join Edwin to drill in.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 30 | America’s upcoming November 3 election has been thrown into unprecedented chaos. The president has tested positive for COVID-19. Mail-in votes are now only guaranteed to be counted days after election night. Questions about mass mail voting, violence in our cities, Republican party allegations of fraud, Democratic party accusations of suppression, plus the assertion that neither candidate should under any circumstances concede on election night guarantee uncertainty, chaos, and conflict right through the final tally of election results and probably through Inauguration Day. There is even open talk of a military confrontation at the White House. Noted legal scholar Alan Dershowitz, seasoned political strategist Josh Block, crisis manager Juda Engelmayer, and other experts join Edwin to examine the controversies and consequences.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 29 | “The SCOTUS Storm: What’s Next?" With the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the future of the SCOTUS has ignited an intense political firestorm. Among the issues at stake are the conservative–liberal balance of the court and which president will appoint Ginsberg’s successor. Will it be President Trump in the last weeks of his current term, or the winner of the November election? Several nation-changing cases are already on the court’s fall docket. More importantly, the already-contested upcoming presidential election will almost certainly require the court to weigh in. SCOTUSblog author Adam Feldman and ABA Journal SCOTUS reporter Mark Walsh join Edwin to navigate the turbulence.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 28 | The Middle East is realigning once again, and Israel is part of the New Mideast Order. Edwin Black, having published 11 bestselling books and numerous investigative articles covering the Middle East, is ready to answer your questions with straight talk and uncovered history.

Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 27 | Israel and the UAE announced on August 13 that they had come to an historic peace agreement, the Abraham Accord. Since then, the Gulf State of Bahrain has joined the expanding the peace initiative.

More countries are readying their recognitions, and President Donald Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, who personally visited Bahrain, Jonathan Tobin, editor-in-chief of JNS, Zalmi Unsdorfer, chairman of Likud UK, Joshua London of JINSA, Mordechai Kedar, Arab scholar and lecturer, and other key Mideast experts join Edwin to explain the background and to explore the possibilities for the future.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 26 | “US Election Chaos.” America’s upcoming November 3 election has been thrown into unprecedented chaos by COVID-19, political warfare, massive distrust, and a flurry of accusations from all sides. Questions about mass mail voting, postal interference, violence in our cities, Republican allegations of fraud, and the Democratic Party’s assertion that their candidate should under no circumstances concede on election night mean uncertainty, chaos, and conflict right through the final tally of election results. Famed litigator Alan Dershowitz, constitutional law expert Nathan Lewin, who has appeared before the SCOTUS 28 times, high-profile crisis manager Juda Engelmayer, and Professor Jordan Carr Peterson of the School of Public and International Affairs at North Carolina State University join Edwin to examine the controversies and consequences.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 25 | “Lebanon in Turmoil.” Lebanon has been wracked by civil war, Syrian occupation, Iranian intervention, wars with Israel, terrorism, political assassinations, and bankruptcy. Then, on August 4, 2020, the devastating detonation of 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate at the port ignited a new implosion–explosion among a restive population that still holds unlimited promise—if peace and stability can be achieved. Joseph Gebeily, president of the Lebanese Information Center, John Hajjar, national director of the World Council for the Cedars Revolution, Tom Harb, chair of the American Maronite Union, and other experts join Edwin to dig into the details.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 24 | “Hungary Beyond the Holocaust.” Hungary, which closely collaborated with the Nazis during the Holocaust, has a long and established legacy of virulent anti-Semitism. Some 435,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz for gassing. Hungary remains a society permeated with a toxic hatred of Jews. But, ironically, Hungary is today among Israel’s closest allies in the European Parliament. Alex Sternberg, author of Recipes from Auschwitz, Andras Simonyi, former Hungarian Ambassador to the US, and Eva Balogh of Hungarian Spectrum, join Edwin to probe Hungary’s past, present, and future.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 23 | Openly anti-Semitic speech, damage to Jewish property, campus hate, and violence against Jews have been exploding across America. Prominent and chic figures have libeled Jews and the pro-Israel community with impunity, openly citing The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and virulent anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. Jews are stigmatized daily without consequence. Just how bad is the threat to the Jewish community? Alyza Lewin, president of the Louis D.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 22 | Eugenics was America’s shameful, decades–long attempt to create a White, blond, and blue-eyed Master Race to dominate all others. More than 67,000 Americans were forcibly sterilized.

Public health officials combined with intellectual elites to commit genocide here and abroad.

Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 19 | In his New York Times bestselling investigative book, Edwin Black documented how IBM knowingly organized all six phases of Hitler’s Holocaust: identification, exclusion, confiscation, ghettoization, deportation—and even extermination.

Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 18 | The word “whiskey” (derived from the Gaelic uisce beatha) means “water of life.” The word “wine” comes to English from the Latin vinum and the Hebrew yayin.

Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 17 | Woodrow Wilson, Confederate generals, Winston Churchill, Henry Ford, Thomas Watson, Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson.

Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 16 | Genocide, political strife, corporate complicity in injustice, alternate energy, the dark side of history, the torments of our present, the prospects for our future.

Dan Hotels president and CEO Ronen Nissenbaum, Hilton Tel Aviv GM Ronnie Fortis, renowned chef Uri Jeremias, and other industry leaders join Edwin to explore what’s in store.
Air Date: - Season 1 - Episode 14 | “Juneteenth.” Many Americans have never heard of Juneteenth—June 19th, a holiday of special significance to Americans of African Descent.
