Finally! My conversation with @benshapiro is out.

We discuss dominating Facebook, what Israel should do about the Temple Mount, and why I should keep kosher more.

Both @benshapiro and @realDailyWire absolutely dominate Facebook, driving more traffic than any other network.

And yet, per Shapiro, recent moves by Facebook have made their engagement numbers decline, favoring once again legacy media.

We did agree that the entire narrative around the Russians somehow throwing the 2016 election via Facebook was patently absurd, a cope for a political side that didn't want to accept an electoral defeat.

We switched quickly to Judaism...and Israel.

We've both visited the Temple Mount, a while ago for me and two years ago for Ben, both were struck by such a big deal made about a pretty ordinary-looking public square.

We also discussed the anti-Zionist wing of the Democratic Party. If that becomes the prevalent view of the American Left, American Jews will be forced to decide just how Jewish (if at all) they really feel.

Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Judaism are like 'the lazy, the hazy, and the crazy' (as a rabbi once joked to me).

So we got into where my movement (Conservative) is these days, and how it's smack in the front lines of the bigger culture war.

Then...Ben asked me if I keep kosher, and I had to confess I'm not 100% there yet.

He recommended I move to Florida....
