Acid Tests and Antisemites

In this episode we begin by discussing the incoming Czech government and the concerning implications for the Czech role in ammunition procurement for Ukraine, mention the 2026 election prospects of Hungarian opposition leader Peter Magyar, and discuss the complications of conducting security policy as a coalition of democracies. Closer to home, we discuss the election results in New York City, New Jersey and Virginia, which presage a strong 2026 for Democrats — if they can find Senate candidates who are very different from the far-left Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Finally, diving into the crisis at the Heritage Foundation, we compare and contrast how the right and left are handling the rise of the antisemitic fringes.
