Friends,

For your listening enjoyment, we cover several subjects on this podcast: Governor Newsom’s proposed redo of San Quentin; Qatar, and its influence peddling in our universities; the DEI’s “greeters” at IU Health (an eyewitness account!); the decline of Broadway shows; culminating in Eli Steele’s wise words concerning “…the Claudine Gays of the world.”

It’s a lively show you won’t want to miss.

Enjoy this beautiful winter season,* even if you live in comfy, albeit chilly, California.

As always, thanks for sharing the podcast and…

Thank YOU for Joining Us!

Friends,

We trust you had a Merry Christmas and, along with us, are anticipating a productive 2024!

Today’s podcast focuses in on the antisemitic rhetoric reflected by so many of America’s younger generation, with one recent poll showing 51% of Americans, age 18-24, believe that Israelis should do away with their homeland and turn territorial rights over to Hamas. Hard to believe, isn’t it?

We draw on an essay in Tabletmag.com, “The Global Empire of Palestine,” written by the brilliant Lee Smith, December 19, 2023: historically, it’s spot-on in tracing the causes for young people’s indoctrinatory and contemptible support of Hamas. It’s more than worth a read.

We send you into the new year with bravos to the Most Rev. Bishop Kevin Carl Rhoades and the faithful women alumni of St. Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana, who helped reverse the previous decision by its president and board of directors to accept applications from those “whose sex is female or who consistently live and identify as women.”

Pushing back works, dear friends, which is why we “keep at it” here on Entering Stage Right.

Thanks for Joining Us! Thanks for sharing the podcast!

Happy New Year!

Friends,

Gremlins continue to intervene frequently throughout our podcast today (long pauses, overlapping, etc.), but, hang in there, and you should still be able to follow it easily, albeit, not necessarily gracefully. With some help from a friend (thanks Amanuel!) and our platform advisors, we will figure out these glitches moving forward. Our upfront thanks for your patience.

Except for those glitches, our podcast clips along briskly as we talk about plagiarist Claudine Gay of Harvard, congenital liar Gavin Newsom of CA, and seasoned prevaricator, Hunter Biden, as he defends his “art,” and bails on his congressional subpoena.

As the lights of Hanukkah fade, words of wisdom from Niall Ferguson and a prophetic voice from the past, Joseph Sobran, send us thoughtfully on our way into this blessed Christmas season.

With Thanks for You!

Dear Friends,

As our title indicates, this week focuses in on the inexcusable testimony delivered by three, university presidents responding to questions brought by the House Committee on Education & the Workforce.

Speaking of the “workforce,” two of these presidents, the waffling Ms. Liz Magill of the University of Pennsylvania and Claudine Gay of Harvard, may be looking for new employment soon, as “heavy” money donors are withdrawing millions in support, vigorously responding to Magill’s and Gay’s inability to unequivocally condemn the call for Israel’s genocide on their campuses.

Join us for this impassioned conversation, and feel free to leave a comment.

A blessed Hanukkah to all of our Jewish friends this week, and to the nation of Israel, in particular. May you be safe. Am Yisrael chai.

As always…

Dear Friends,

After a day delay due to a technical glitch, we’re back up running and continuing our focus on Israel, surrounded by an array of subjects:

Oakland’s overreaching city council; Governor Newsom’s “understudy” performance in the debate with Ron DeSantis; the ultimate welfare state—Gaza; Saint Mary’s College (for women) at Notre Dame goes trans; the George Floyd verdict in retrospect; followed by the good folks at canarymission.org., who expose the radical leftists in academia.

It's an informative and lively show. As always…

Thank YOU for Joining Us!

Dear Friends,

“All good things come to those who wait,” and such is our delayed podcast by virtue of an important interview with Clarice Feldman.

A brilliant thinker and prolific writer for the “American Thinker,” Ms. Feldman’s observations on Hamas's war against Israel are enlightening. Our conversation centers around her latest article (Sunday, Nov. 26), “Manipulating with Lies and Manufactured Sob Stories,” followed by some enticing sidebars along the way, including this one:

We trust you had a great Thanksgiving weekend and look forward to your joining us this coming Saturday, December 2.

Yikes! Get out those parkas!

With Thanks for You,

Friends,

The masks of reason and civility are being discarded as the radical Left spouts its virulent, antisemitic cliches on college campuses and public squares across the country, defended, in large part, by university presidents who are more interested in bottom-line revenues than doing what is right.

We will continue to highlight those “knuckleheads & eggheads” who are defending Hamas and its minions (wittingly or not), whether it be the duplicitous Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D. MI.), or the “student wellbeing” President of MIT, Dr. Sally Kornbluth.

Some real heroes—former British Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, Brandeis University, and the 300,000 people who gathered peacefully in Washington D.C.—send us on our way with a note of optimism for the coming days.

As always,

Thank You for Joining Us!

Dear Friends,

We continue our conversation on the barbaric, “October 7” invasion of Israel by Hamas, and how disdain for Israel, led by the vile rhetoric of student demonstrations, is spreading across the country.

Ibram X. Kendi has joined the fray, proving that his brand of antiracism is antisemitic at heart. The good news? A brave university president and a determined Benjamin Netanyahu encourage us along the way as we enter month two of this battle for civilization versus barbarism.

With Thanks for You,

Philip & D. Paul
