Episode 99 opens with the explosive, nationwide backlash as 2026 graduates boo commencement speakers who praise artificial intelligence — turning ceremonies into viral flashpoints of frustration. It’s a generational revolt fueled by a shrinking entry‑level job market, rising debt, and the sense that elites are celebrating the very technology these students believe is undermining their future. The hour then shifts to the Hon. Shahar Azani, veteran Israeli diplomat and former Spokesperson and Consul for Media Affairs at Israel’s Consulate General in New York. Drawing on deep experience in public diplomacy and strategic communications, he tackles rising antisemitism head‑on, exposing its modern forms. Azani frames antisemitism as a “canary in the coal mine” for democratic societies and calls for education, factual advocacy, and bold action to protect Jewish communities and the values that sustain free societies
