Answering these questions and more is Josh Hammer, senior editor-at-large of Newsweek, host of "The Josh Hammer Show," and author of a new book, Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West.

Rhodesia had a reputation of being "more British than Britain" — and that was its undoing. Instead of giving up the proud aristocratic British tradition that reigned for centuries in England and the United States, Rhodesia held fast to it. And so, in the 1960s, the USSR and America and England conspired to destroy it. And they succeeded. Prosperous free Rhodesia disappeared, and backwards murderous Zimbabwe took its place. It's a fascinating — and very disturbing — story. Will Tanner, co-founder of The American Tribune, also offers his thoughts on Donald Trump, noblesse oblige, and no-fault divorce.

On September 19, I was sentenced to four months in prison and fined $10,539 for participating in the January 6 election protest. A week later, I was interviewed by Frank Morano, host of "The Other Side of Midnight" on WABC radio in New York. We discussed my sentencing, my experience being kicked off yet another dating service, and Rabbi Meir Kahane's humane solution to the Arab-Israel conflict.

I was sentenced in a DC court today for my role in the events of January 6, 2021. This is my response.

Candace Owens claims that Israeli leaders and Israel supporters in the U.S. are "Jewish supremacists." She also claims Israel harbors pedophiles. Is there any truth to these claims?

His mother gave birth to him at 14, and his father tried killing him when he was five. Marty Goodman, a highly successful businessman in West Bloomfield, MI, didn't have an easy childhood, and a rabbi's ill-chosen words turned him away from Judaism when he was a teenager. But the birth of his son 20 years later changed everything. Marty Goodman describes his journey back to Torah and plays some of his original musical compositions. His shiurim, lectures, and music are available on http://bais-mordechai.com.

How did I misjudge Candace Owens so badly? I explain.

Moshe Feiglin has been working to become Israel's prime minister for 25 years now, but he believes Israel's current problems may finally propel him to power. "Reality is making our campaign," he said. If he is prime minister, Israel will conquer Gaza, rebuild Gush Katif, and expel the enemy population in it, he said. And he would have secured the hostages' release if he were prime minister, he said, by starving the tunnels of energy and threatening every terrorist in it with death and burial in pigs' stomachs unless they bring the hostages out of the tunnels with them.

When did people start making schlissel challah? Why do women light multiple Shabbos candles when the Gemara says to light one? Why do we say "Shalom Aleichem" at Kiddush Levanah when according to Shulchan Aruch we should say "Shalom Alecha"? Rabbi Dr. Zvi Ron, author of Jewish Customs: Exploring Common and Uncommon Minhagim, answers these fascinating questions and more.

Professor Bryan Caplan, a bestselling author and economist at George Mason University, discusses some of his most controversial books, Don't Be a Feminist, The Case Against Education, Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids, and Build, Baby, Build.

Rabbi Ben Packer, director of the Jerusalem Heritage House, returns to give an update on the Israel-Gaza war. Why is Israel giving free food to its enemy? Should Israel establish Jewish settlements in Gaza? Was giving the Sinai Desert to Egypt a mistake? Why did Israel respond with a whimper after Arabs set Yehoshua's tomb on fire the other week? Will a true Jewish leader ever take charge in Israel? If yes, how? Rabbi Packer answers these questions and more.

Liberals (and a handful of conservatives) believe dropping the atom bombs on Japan in August 1945 was immoral. But what was the alternative? Could the U.S. have won the war in a less bloody fashion? Could American and Japanese lives have been saved? Mike Cote – a highly knowledgeable historian whose articles have been published by National Review and The Federalist – discusses these fascinating questions and more.

Mrs. Sarah Karmely is a Mashhadi Jew who was born in India, grew up in England, married in Italy, and now lives in America. An author, teacher, marriage counselor, and international lecturer, she started becoming frum after her husband suddenly became totally paralyzed and then just as suddenly – and inexplicably – started talking and walking only after hours after receiving a beracha from the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

Yeshiva University has a long history of tolerating extreme left-wing views and activities on campus (while showing little tolerance for extreme right-wing views). To cite just two examples: It employed a transgender professor for 15 years and continues to employ a Bible(!) professor who advocates ignoring the Torah's views on homosexuality. Can YU therefore continue to call itself a Torah institution? Jonathan Gross, formerly a rabbi in Omaha, Nebraska (who sold chametz to Warren Buffett), and today a civil rights attorney, joins the program to discuss this question. Books by Rabbi Jonathan Gross: AI Vey: Jewish Thoughts on Thinking Machines Values Investing: An Omaha Rabbi Learns Torah From Warren Buffett One of the books YU banned from its Seforim Sale: Kahane on the Parsha: Over 100 Divrei Torah on War, Faith, and the Future of the Jewish State The subject of Elliot Resnick's canceled lecture: America First: The Story of Sol Bloom, the Most Powerful Jew in Congress During the Holocaust

When you speak to young children, end your sentences with a period, not a question mark. So advises Mrs. Rebecca Masinter, a mother of six and the author of a weekly parenting column based on the parsha. (She's also a great-great niece of Reb Elyah Lopian.) Among her other pieces of advice: Project confidence in front of your children, don't be afraid to be different, trust your intuition, hold off on the cell phone, and don't rush to bring you kid to an "expert." You're the expert when it comes to your child, she argues. Mrs. Masinter's website: www.mothersguidance.com Book mentioned in the interview: Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up
