The Gist - Funny You Should Mention: Robby Hoffman

Comedian, podcaster, and self-described cutie-in-her-own-way Robby Hoffman drops by to discuss her life, her comedy, and why she takes talking as seriously as any other art form. From growing up ultra-Orthodox and ultra-poor to becoming a sought-after stand-up with a Porsche no one wants, Hoffman explains how she’s thrived in disaster and learned to mine discomfort for laughs. The two explore America’s national personality deficit, what makes a story worth telling, and the joys of conflict when you grow up with nine siblings and no private phone line. Plus: hundos, and the humanity-conferring properties of the nightstand. Produced by Corey Wara

Honestly with Bari Weiss - Welcome to the Global Intifada

Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, were staffers at the Israeli Embassy. They had just planned a trip for Sarah to meet Yaron’s parents. He had recently bought an engagement ring.


Then on Wednesday night, they were murdered outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. The suspect, 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez, told police: “I did it for Palestine. I did it for Gaza.”


Since its founding, The Free Press has reported on the rise of this kind of radicalism and a culture that has embraced violence as a means of expression, that has lost hold of the difference between life and death.


Today, Bari reflects on the climate we now find ourselves in—and the deafening silence from mainstream media and pop culture.

Consider This from NPR - Can Trump suspend habeas corpus?

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem got a pop quiz at a senate hearing this week. The question came from Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan, of New Hampshire.

Hassan asked Noem to to explain habeas corpus.

For the record, habeas corpus is the legal principle, enshrined in the Constitution, that protects people from illegal detention.

The reason that this bit of Latin is under discussion – is because the Trump administration says it's considering suspending habeas corpus.

This core constitutional protection has been an obstacle to the President's mass deportation plan.

Habeas corpus is a principle that's hundreds of years older than America itself.

What would it mean if the President suspended it? And could he, under the Constitution?
