Is the U.S. Winning the Iran War? With Suzanne Maloney and Mark Dubowitz

The US seems to have won the Battle of Hormuz; what would it take to win the Iran War? Seven months into the war, the US and Iran are locked in a high-stakes test of endurance, with the Strait of Hormuz, the global economy, and the future of the Middle East hanging in the balance. Dan Senor brings together two leading Iran experts, Mark Dubowitz and Suzanne Maloney, who sharply disagree on whether America is gaining the upper hand–or paying too steep of a strategic price. Their debate gets to the hardest question of all: Can the US win the war militarily and still lose strategically? In this episode: Two experts, two very different verdicts: Is Iran running out of options, or is Washington getting trapped in a war with no clear endgame? The Strait of Hormuz was supposed to be Iran’s ultimate weapon. Has the US really taken that leverage away? Why the Houthi threat could pull America deeper into a conflict it can’t easily contain Can economic pressure bring down the Iranian regime—or are ordinary Iranians paying the price while the regime holds on?

Can Diaspora Jews Move On From October 7? - with Rabbi David Wolpe and Rabbi David Ingber

What does it mean for diaspora Jews to move forward from October 7th without becoming complacent or consumed by fear? Three years after October 7th, Dan Senor sits down with Rabbis David Ingber and David Wolpe to discuss what the aftermath has revealed about Jewish life in America. They discuss the growing sense of uncertainty among diaspora Jews, the tension between Jewish values and liberal democracy, the debate over Zionism, and how Jewish communities can respond with both moral clarity and openness. In this episode: Why October 8th became a turning point for diaspora Jews Has the relationship between liberal democracy and Jewish life fundamentally changed? The Jewish community remains divided over Israel, Zionism, and Jewish self-determination Can Jews hold onto hope without ignoring the warning signs around them? Re: Rabbi Angela Buchdahl’s Kol Nidrei speech, does Zionism need to be reclaimed? How do you distinguish moral clarity from paranoia when it comes to Jewish safety?

Inside the Hostage Negotiations - with Brett McGurk

What really happened inside the negotiations to free the October 7th hostages? For 15 months, the Biden administration, Israel, Qatar, Egypt, and Hamas negotiated over one impossible question: how do you bring the hostages home while also fighting a war? Brett McGurk, who was at the center of those talks, joins Dan Senor to take listeners inside the negotiating rooms—from the first backchannel with Qatar to the deals that repeatedly came within reach and fell apart. He explains what he believes Washington got wrong, why public pressure sometimes made negotiations harder, and how an unlikely Biden-Trump transition partnership helped finally get a deal over the line.

How Fiction Will Remember October 7 - with Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff

How do you turn October 7th into fiction when it still feels like the present? For more than a decade, Fauda has turned the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into a global television phenomenon. But Season 5 takes on something different: two episodes that put its fictional characters inside the events of October 7th, while the trauma is still very much alive. Dan sits down with Fauda creators Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff to discuss the responsibility of dramatizing a real catastrophe, what they chose to show—and leave unseen—and what happens when fiction begins to shape how the world remembers history.

Is the Iran-Sanctions Playbook Coming for Israel? - with Mark Dubowitz

Could the financial warfare playbook built to isolate Iran be turned against Israel? Twenty-four hours after Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the UN, the organization expanded its settlement-business blacklist to more than 200 companies. It’s not a sanctions regime, but could it be the beginning of something much bigger? Dan sits down with Mark Dubowitz of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who helped build the architecture used to isolate Iran, to discuss whether the same playbook could be used against Israel, how quickly targeted measures can escalate, and what Israel can do to stop it.

Is Israel’s Global Standing on The (Israeli) Ballot? - with Amit Segal and Nadav Eyal

Is Israel’s growing isolation abroad becoming a political problem at home? As Benjamin Netanyahu heads to New York for a brief UN visit just weeks before Israel’s election, Israel’s standing in the United States is deteriorating, even as Netanyahu’s political position at home has improved. Dan is joined by Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal to ask whether Israeli voters see the country’s growing international isolation with the same urgency as diaspora Jews, and how that divide is shaping an increasingly complicated election.

Naza: When a Film is the News

Can Israel confront what went wrong in Gaza when the accusations leave no room for conversation? In this special replay of For Heaven’s Sake, Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi take on Naza, the explosive Israeli film accusing Israel of systematically disregarding civilian casualties in Gaza. After receiving a nearly 25-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, the film has ignited a firestorm over what happened in Gaza and how Israel’s conduct of the war should be judged. Donniel and Yossi wrestle with how to confront legitimate questions about Israel’s actions while rejecting a narrative they believe relies on unverifiable testimony, erases Hamas’ culpability, and leaves little room for moral reckoning.

Can Israel Learn the Lesson of 70 AD? - with Gidi Dar and Rabbi David Stav

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jerusalem fell after political and religious divisions among Jews spiraled into civil war. As Israel heads toward another election after years of political upheaval, October 7 and war, Dan speaks with filmmaker Gidi Dar and Rabbi David Stav, a leading voice in Israel’s religious Zionist community, about the history depicted in Dar’s film, Legend of Destruction, and its echoes in Israel today. Where does the comparison hold, where does it break down, and can Israelis learn from the past before their divisions become even harder to bridge? This episode features extended scenes from Legend of Destruction. Watch the conversation and clips on our YouTube channel.

Who REALLY Made the Modern Middle East - with Simon Sebag Montefiore

How much of the Middle East’s history was actually shaped by the West? The story most of us learned about who created the modern Middle East is incomplete. Dan is joined by historian Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of The Cauldron, who argues that we give Western powers too much credit and the people of the region too little agency.

The Turkey-Israel Proxy War in Syria - with Nadav Eyal

With a weaker Iran, do Turkey’s regional ambitions put it on a collision course with Israel? Dan and Nadav Eyal analyze the shifting dynamics in the Middle East, focusing on whether Turkey’s President Erdogan aspires to become a regional superpower given the vacuum left by a weaker Iran. They discuss whether Turkey’s military is trying to move further into Syria, crossing what Israel considers a “red line,” Israel’s recent response, and the emerging Sunni axis between Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. —- Get your tickets to a live taping of Call me Back at the Streicker Center in NYC on October 22. —- Call Me Back is made possible by our subscribers.

They unpack the factors of historical discrimination by an Ashkenazi elite, questions of economic opportunity, dignity and belonging of the Mizrahi community, and the Mizrahi devotion to maintaining the Jewish character of the state of Israel. —- Get your tickets to a live taping of Call me Back at the Streicker Center in NYC on October 22. —- Call Me Back is made possible by our subscribers.

They discuss how the terms liberal, progressive and socialist got confused, and why they think the DSA agenda will fail. Goldberg also explains the economic and cultural forces he sees fueling populism on the left and right, whether America’s liberal tradition is strong enough to withstand them, and what its erosion could mean for Jews.

AI is Activating Antisemites Left and Right - with Niall Ferguson

Can historians win the fight against antisemitism and viral misinformation in the age of AI? Historian Niall Ferguson joins Dan to warn that fact-based historians are losing the battle with social media algorithms that spread false and antisemitic content to increasingly receptive audiences on both the right and left. He argues the rules of the fight have changed. Drawing on a new essay co-authored with AI researcher John-Clark Levin, Ferguson offers data on how algorithms, non-human bots, and AI are transforming how antisemitic ideas go viral, making traditional methods of exposing lies increasingly ineffective. If facts alone are no longer enough, what comes next? Read The Death of History by Niall Ferguson and John-Clark Levin.
