Far-right extremists have been bullying some conservatives into adopting their positions, which the conservatives are finding easier to do because left-wing groups (like ADL) are already lumping them in with the far-right extremists.
The far-right extremists are also creating a larger audience, especially among the disaffected and de-platformed, which some conservatives are finding an irresistible market, and choosing in place of more mainstream conservatives.
Meanwhile, the left continues to demonize mainstream conservatives, and Christians in particular, driving more mainstream conservatives to empathize with, if not to join, the far-right, and to lash out against the political center.
This is why conservatives are up in arms over a congressional act to define antisemitism when there was zero conservative opposition to Trump when he adopted exactly the same definition of antisemitism via 2019 executive order.
The tragic irony is that this is happening when the left is moving in a brutally antisemitic direction, handing conservatives a rare political opportunity to take power. Jews who were thinking of voting Republican are now thinking again.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
