What if Israel is the stress test that exposes what’s broken on both the far left and the far right? Dr. James Lindsay, a mathematician turned political heretic, went from progressive insider to conservative rockstar – and then got canceled by both sides for calling out ideological extremism. Fresh from a recent trip to Israel, he joins Doug and Pesach to unpack what he saw on the ground, how Israel has become a wedge used by extremists to divide their own movements, and what that reveals about truth, courage, and the future of the West. This is one of the most intense and revealing Shoulder to Shoulder conversations we’ve ever had.
