Emily Jashinsky opens the show discussing the historic announcement by President Trump that Israel and Hamas have signed off on the first phase of the U.S.-proposed Gaza peace deal, allowing for the release of all Israeli hostages and a halt in the war. Then Emily speaks with Rod Dreher, Author of “Rod Dreher's Diary” and books including "Living In Wonder,” to talk about rising tensions in the West amid multiculturalism, what history tells us about the future of Europe and America, the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey, the dangers of AI, and the “re-enchantment” movement as young people increasingly turn to faith as they seek meaning.

Why CBS Brought Bari In, and Safe New Media, with Glenn Greenwald, PLUS Taylor Swift Changes Her Tune
Emily Jashinsky is joined by Glenn Greenwald, Host of “System Update,” to discuss Bari Weiss’ announcement that The Free Press has been acquired by Paramount/CBS for $150 million. They compare the move to past examples of corporate media capture, question whether “independent within Paramount” has any real meaning and warn that commercial and political pressures will inevitably limit dissenting voices. They also discuss how The Free Press has handled censorship debates, especially around Israel, and suggest Weiss’ move to CBS shows no real ideological shift on that front. Emily and Glenn then discuss the news from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealing the Biden FBI targeted eight Republican senators’ personal cell phones, PLUS the modern-day Dixie Chicks-style controversy involving country music star Zach Bryan. Emily wraps up the show with a look at Taylor Swift’s new album and turn toward traditionalism. She highlights the song “Eldest Daughter” and argues it reflects a generational shift among millennial and Gen Z women who once rejected traditional norms but now crave family, marriage, and stability. She then critiques a New York Times article about “Gen Z divorce” and concludes Swift’s new album captures a cultural “vibe shift.” Vandy Crisps: Get 25% off your first order | Use code AFTERPARTY at https://vandycrisps.com/AFTERPARTY PreBorn: Help save a baby go to https://PreBorn.com/Emily or call 855-601-2229.

Kimmel-Colbert Crossover Fail, Jeffries Can't Take a Joke, and the Elite Effort to Control Speech, with Rachel Bovard and Inez Stepman
Emily Jashinsky breaks down the shifting landscape of late-night TV. She contrasts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert’s overtly political approach with Jimmy Fallon’s “Carson-style” comedy and how Fallon is thriving in the digital landscape. Then Emily is joined by her friends Rachel Bovard, Vice President at the Conservative Partnership Institute, and Inez Stepman, Legal analyst for Independent Women’s Forum. They discuss President Trump mocking of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Jeffries’ reaction, NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani supposedly changing his tune on police, why conservatives believe the CATO Institute’s political violence study is deeply flawed, how President Trump’s reported deal to end feud with Harvard is poetic justice, and the new offering from Chelsea Clinton that nobody asked for. Finally, Emily rounds out the show with a look at Jane Fonda relaunching a McCarthy-era committee to supposedly defend free speech and where Emily believes Fonda and others should REALLY be focusing their efforts.
