On this episode, host Bill sits down with acclaimed filmmaker, human rights activist, and Rabbi Raphael Shore to dive deep into his provocative new book, Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Jew?: Learning to Love the Lessons of Jew-Hatred. Shore offers a unflinching exploration of antisemitism's ancient roots, its modern resurgence, and the surprising resilience and moral clarity it can inspire in Jewish identity and beyond—challenging listeners to view this persistent hatred through a lens of strength rather than fear. The discussion couldn't be more timely amid rising global tensions. We also break down the explosive controversy surrounding Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who is facing intense criticism and calls for accountability after reports revealed sensitive military operational details—including attack plans and timelines for strikes in Yemen—were shared via unsecured Signal group chats that inadvertently included a journalist and others outside official channels, sparking a major national security breach dubbed "Signalgate." Adding to the policy shake-ups, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced a significant change: non-permanent residents (including those without lawful permanent status, such as certain visa holders or pending asylum seekers) are no longer eligible for FHA-insured mortgages, tightening access to government-backed home loans to prioritize U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. Rounding out the show, we cover the latest local headlines from Florida and key world news developments shaping the day.
