This week, we'll honor the mothers among us -- and talk about the challenges of parenthood in general. We'll also talk about the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, and the way that the Biden Administration is undermining Israel.
We'll touch on the Trump trial in Manhattan, and the legal fight going ahead. What are the prospects of any kind of conviction, and what would it mean for Trump's electoral challenges? There will be a bit of Little League baseball as well!
Special guests:
Lee Smith - author, on Biden's attempt to sabotage Israel's war against Hamas
Alan Dershowitz - lawyer and scholar, on the Trump trial and Israel policy
Tim Carney - author, "Family Unfriendly," on parenting in American culture
Emma-Jo Morris - Breitbart News political editor, on expectant mothers
Sue Burstein-Kahn - Michigan political activist, on local antisemitism

- The fight against crime
- The midterm election fight
- The struggle for peace between Russia and Ukraine
- The airstrike on the Venezuelan drug cartel
- The attempt to sink Kennedy
- The war in Gaza
- The case against Harvard
- The Trump presidency
