- The world is viewing a dichotomy of socialism. We know from history that socialism will fail whenever and wherever it is tried. Socialism, the great experiment fails time and again.

- What’s the difference between Maduro and Mamdani? Not much; they both live in the same city!

Segment Topic:
- January 27th is International Holocaust Remembrance Day and for all those who say they bored talking about the Holocaust, I challenge you to listen closely to this segment.
- A portion of the trailer from the award-winning film: “Among Neighbors”
- “Among Neighbors” focuses on one of the last living Holocaust survivors from a small Polish town, and on an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there — six months after the Nazis were defeated.
- Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage, “Among Neighbors” examines the story of a small, rural town where Jews and Polish Catholics lived side by side for centuries before World War II.
- The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on one of the last living Holocaust survivors from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there — not by Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbors.
- Didn’t Polish Government declare that they had nothing to do with the Holocaust back in 2018 and if so, the slaughter of Jews did not end at the end of the war in 1945? Correct?
- Why is there an attempt to rewrite history regarding the Holocaust?
- This group is launching a nationwide education campaign sounding the alarm on the parallels between pre-WWII Europe and America today, as far as the troubling rise of antisemitism.
- Jonathan, your own family has a similar story. Tell us about it.
- What happens when ALL Holocaust survivors are dead?
- How is 21st Century America looking a lot like Germany, circa 1938?
- Yaron Lischinsky, a German-Israeli, and Sarah Milgrim, an American Jew—had attended the event aimed at fostering unity among Jewish young professionals and the diplomatic community. An evening to foster cooperation and peace and they both end up dead.
- The suspect, Elias Rodriguez, a 30-year-old man who traveled to D.C. from Chicago. When he was apprehended by event security, he reportedly pulled out a keffiyeh, said "I did it. I did it for Gaza" and chanted "Free, free Palestine!" while in custody.
- A significant majority of American Jews have changed their behavior due to antisemitism, with recent data from early 2025 indicating 56% altered their behavior out of fear of antisemitism in 2024, a sharp rise from 46% in 2023 and 38% in 2022, showing increasing levels of fear and self-censorship, particularly around expressing Jewish identity publicly.
- International Holocaust Remembrance Day January 27, 2026
- I hear people say frequently, that they are sick of talking about the Holocaust. What do you say to those who choose to ignore history?
