Episodes

  1. Democrats Need a Race War

  2. The Two-State Final Solution

    Only a handful of liberal elites talk about a two-state solution, which is not a thing in the Middle East. Really, a two-state solution is the final solution, because it would create another Holocaust.

  3. Interview with Armin Rosen

    Armin Rosen, of Tablet Magazine, talks about politics, media bias and politics

  4. Interview with Daniel Pomerantz of RealityCheck

    Daniel Pomerantz of ReliatyCheck in Israel shares his perspectives about media bias, and offers surprisingly nuanced insights into the Left/Right divide in the USA.

  5. Adam Louis-Klein interview

    Adam Louis-Klein is on the forefront of studying antizionism as a hate movement. This bizarre viewpoint -- that Israel should be destroyed in order to "decolonize" the Middle East -- has tainted the Democratic Party.

  6. MAGA + DSA vs America

    Who's your least worst option?

  7. Why Did Liberals Change?

    Why did Liberals go from being cozy moderates into fire breathing Progressives?

  8. Why do Wealthy Whites vote for Progressives?

    Why do wealthy whites vote for Progressives? To maintain power.

  9. From Civil Rights to Retribution

    How has the Left's focus on Identity Politics turned them into a hate movement?

  10. The End of the Democratic Party - At Least as You've Known It

    Why can't Mainstream Dems resist Progressives?

  11. The Left Made You Politically Homeless. Good.

    The Left Made You Politically Homeless. Good.

  12. From Gandhi to Intifada: The Left's Great Replacement of Theory

  13. #DogsToo at the New York Times

    The NY Times completes the transformation from a news paper into a Hamas propaganda outlet, that's somehow pro trans. Very impressive!

  14. Can Mike Goldfarb Save the Democrats?

    Mike Goldfarb is running for the NY-9 congressional Democratic seat. Can he beat the establishment progressive (yes, she's both!) incumbent and save the party?

  15. Your Superpower is Up for Grabs

    Being politically homeless give you superpowers

  16. Being Politically Homeless

    Being Politically Homeless

  17. If You're Not Politically Homeless, You're Doing it Wrong

    Jews used to be reliably liberal. That's changing.

  18. Introducing Adam Louis-Klein

    Introducing Adam Louis-Klein to the Thacher Report

  19. Reintroducing the Thacher Report

    Now that we hosted an event and started a WhatsApp, let's reframe the discussion.

  20. Minneapolis Illiberalism and Hamas Influencers

    Two relatively quick observations about the unelected militias in Minneapolis and the sad fact that Hamas won the Democratic party but happily lost in Gaza

  21. Beyond Blue Walls

    What's it like outside the liberal Democratic party/mainstream media/academia fortress?

  22. A New Unifier / Democratic Hyper-partisanship

    A New Unifier / Democratic Hyper-partisanship

  23. Tuesday was Good News for America

    Step away from the partisan, sports-fan coverage "my team is better than your team" to see the positivity of the off year/odd year election results in a few states earlier this week

  24. Can Democrats Dialogue... and Win?

    Democrats are now in a shrinking blue bubble. Most Democrats I encounter have never had sustained social contact with working class or Republican voters. They tend to denigrate Republican voters as being in a cult, stupid, gullible, racist or all of the above. This does two things. It implicates...

  25. The Left has no leaders and no ideas

    Why would you listen to the left if you want new ideas?

  26. Welcome to the Anti-Democrats

    The Democratic Party fails over and over and over again. If you believe in a classical Liberal Arts education that teaches you not much beyond the powers of critical thinking, try applying that skill to the Democratic Party's performance.

  27. Honey, I Shrunk the Party

    I hope you survive the sexist, veganophobic title and dated Gen-X reference

  28. Are You Liberal, Conservative or Something New

    Are You Liberal, Conservative or Something New

  29. Legacy Media, Meet Legacy Politics

    It’s not considered biased to say we have a Legacy media anymore. It’s reality. The Web, apps, wifi and smartphones have transformed news publishing, broadcasts and cable. What’s more interesting to observe is that the ideological choices of the Legacy media has accelerated the shift.

  30. The Fall of Iran / The Rise of Zohran

    Zachary explores the connections between the massive setbacks of the Iranian regime (and the impotent Gulf) and the formal end of the Democratic Party centrist movement as the party becomes wholly progressive. We don't have to say Centrist vs Progressive anymore. That's settled. Like we don't…

  31. Netanyahu is the greatest Arab liberator in world history

    The dominant center left/liberal narrative is that Bibi Netanyahu is an evil leader, a kind of Trump of Israel, a racist murderer of Arabs and something of a royalist. While liberals wallow in their lack of popularity in America, which cements a Republican federal trifecta and I think a new era…

  32. Is Ranked Choice Voting a Progressive Ponzi Scheme?

    Once again, Progressives use illiberal, anti-democracy tactics to undermine our country.

  33. Rahm Emanuel or Trans Arugula Allies for President?

    Thanks for your patience while I cut down a huge essay into four parts as I wrap my head around a recent debate at the 92nd St Y, “Is Donald Trump Good for the Jews?” In earlier essays I took apart the Democratic argument, as presented by Rahm Emanuel, that Trump is bad for the Jews. I just don’t...

  34. Is Donald Trump Good for the Jews - debate review, part 2 of 3

    The Pulitzer-prize winning New York Times columnist Bret Stephens sponsored the debate, “Is Donald Trump Good for the Jews,” under the aegis of his journal, Sapir (sapphire, for the Jewish color blue and biblical references). A good friend is their managing editor, it’s an excellent publication...

  35. How the YMCA and JCC connect to Islamist takeover of colleges

    Last week I went to a debate “Is Donald Trump Good for the Jews” with Bret Stephens, Rahm Emmanuel and Jason Greenblatt (Trump exec and 1.0 admin staffer) at the 92nd Street Y, a Jewish cultural organization on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. In a follow up essay I’ll get into why Rahm…

  36. The Media, like the 20th Century, is Over

    Zachary Thacher discusses the pervasive issue of misinformation in contemporary media, particularly focusing on the legacy media's role in shaping narratives around COVID-19, crime, and political values. He critiques the lack of objective reporting and highlights the challenges posed by...

  37. What's the "P" in NPR?

    Growing up in a halcyon, late 20th Century Massachusetts milieu meant the Boston Globe and the New York Times were read each morning at the kitchen table. NPR’s local affiliate, WBUR, played on the radio throughout the day and on every drive. At night, my parents watched the WGBH PBS News Hour in...

  38. Is "Diversity" Really About Diversity?

    Is capital “D” Diversity a policy goal that needs defending? Should we rally to protect the past decades of initiatives that emerged from the center and far left and, until recently, have became mainstream? To answer, I think we first have to ask: what do DEI proponents mean by Diversity?

  39. Place the Democratic Party in Receivership

    To make America an unqualified success that delivers on these values, we need a competitive political system where the best performing policies and practices rise to the top. We don't have that now. And it's not because an external force interfered with or thwarted the Democrats. Their wounds are...

  40. Post Palestine Policy - 2 of 2

    Palestine isn't working, it's time for something new

  41. Post Palestine Policy - 1 of 2

    Are Palestinians capable of running a liberal, democratic government. Who believes in this?

  42. Republicans vs Democrats. How should you vote?

    In this episode of the Thacher Report, Zachary reflects critiques the current political landscape. He discusses the stagnation of the left since 1973, the significance of historical events, and the evolution of social movements. Thacher emphasizes the pressing challenges facing society, including...

  43. Left Behind

    What is the left in 2025?

  44. Necons were wrong about Iraq. Liberals are wrong about a two-state solution. They're linked.

    In this thought-provoking episode of The Thatcher Report, we dive into a critical analysis of the current political landscape, focusing on the perceived implosion of the Democratic Party. The episode examines the complexities of Jewish identity in the context of Israel's central role post-1948…

  45. The Democrats Are Irrelevant, Forever?

    In this episode, our host returns after a hiatus with personal news about becoming a father. Following this, he explores significant shifts within the Democratic and Labour parties. Using a personal narrative interwoven with political analysis, he discusses his disappointment with the Democratic...

  46. Purge Progressives - identity politics don't work

    Time for changes!

  47. Watch

    A short story about loss and redemption, via a watch and a subway grate

  48. The Wicked Child

    My latest misadventure with home ownership.
