The only one who really puts his money where his mouth is, is Dennis Michael Lynch.

Happy New Year. It's Saturday and it's the first Saturday of the new year.

And this is the first of 52 interviews for 2026. And I just want to let you know that my first guest here is Josh Hammer.

0:30.3

Josh Hammer is a pro-Israel advocate. He is the editor at Newsweek. He was a friend of Charlie Kirk's, and he is at somewhat war with some of the people on the right in terms of Tucker Carlson types.

0:44.7

You know me.

0:45.8

I'm neither pro or anti-Israel.

0:48.0

I'm pro-America.

0:49.3

But I had a conversation with Josh to understand better what his take is on all of this hatred and vitriol for Israel.

0:58.5

And what I really think is the Israeli people.

1:01.1

So strap in, it's a great interview, and I appreciate it in a huge way you watching and give me your feedback.

What the hell is going on? It's like this black and white divide. So when you look at this, what is it that started this whole anti-Israel messaging? What caused it? What started it? Who's mostly to blame?

2:06.0

Yeah, it's a complicated tale. So, I mean, I don't know that there's necessarily just one singular explanation.

2:11.3

I think part of it is a tremendous overreaction to the failures of the boondoggles in Iraq, Afghanistan, and people that are coming to the exact opposite conclusion. They're basically saying that,

2:18.1

didn't work, then therefore Ron Paul, Tucker Carlson, isolationism must be the answer when in reality,

2:23.4

most Americans, most common-sense people are somewhere between those two logical extremes.

2:28.3

So I think that's part of what's happening here. I think the number one explanation for the
