It’s time to correct something the media has been lying about for 15 years: former President Barack Obama’s record on the Middle East. The other day, he rewrote history and spewed vicious lies during a speech in Belfast, Northern Ireland (at a university where Josh once spoke). Obama poured fire onto the flaming inferno of the world’s largest hate movement, antizionism. 

Today, Josh sets the record straight. During Obama’s presidency, he ignored experts and insisted that protests in Cairo were all about democracy, and would lead to a democratic revolution. They instead proved to be rape-filled hellscapes that brought the pro-terror Muslim Brotherhood to power. When it was then toppled in a military coup, the United States looked the other way. Josh also details Obama’s massive increase in covert aerial bombings and refusal to acknowledge the Islamist terrorism sweeping across the globe. 

Then, Josh turns to a type of media that’s enormously influential, but has not yet come up on this show: prestigious “book review” sites. They have an outsized role in our culture, signaling to news giants which authors should be heard from. Recently, the Los Angeles Review of Books canceled an interview with author Shai Davidai (Josh’s guest in Episode 123) because the editors believed lies and distortions in the New York Times. Josh interviews Melissa Uchiyama, the writer whose story was killed. She explains the broad dangers it signals for the literary world.

Plus, Josh discusses his Wall Street Journal column, Christiane Amanpour’s plan to leave CNN and PBS, new figures showing a huge number of Christians killed by Islamists in Nigeria, and how democracy takes root.
