39:53Now PlayingThis week on “Batya!”, Batya Ungar-Sargon says the Trump agenda in a nutshell is “prosperity at home, dominance abroad.” As new polling shows Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy, podcaster Dan Hollaway and founder of “The Merchant’s News,” Giacomo Prandelli, join to discuss why short-term economic pain may be worth potential long-term freedom from the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.
Plus, influential right-wing figures Nick Fuentes, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens all have something in common, Batya Ungar Sargon says: They are comfortable blaming the world’s ills on Jews.
Former President Barack Obama sat down for an interview with Stephen Colbert, in which Batya Ungar-Sargon says he bashed the Republican Party for being political extremists. But Ungar-Sargon says Obama goes on to praise what she calls “actual extremists,” including New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
On "Batya!" host Batya Ungar-Sargon examines the week's most newsworthy topics with a wide range of newsmakers, prominent politicians, and media personalities.
This episode of “Batya!” originally aired on Saturday, May 9, 2026.
