In Part 2 of this gripping interview, we delve deep into the life and experiences of Jonathan Pollard, a former Israeli spy whose story of espionage, severe sentencing, and eventual transformation in prison is both controversial and enlightening.

Pollard opens up about his journey, from the operational challenges he faced as a spy to the harsh realities of life in prison. He reflects on the high price he paid for his actions, including a life sentence and the subsequent legal battles. His account provides a unique perspective on the American justice system and its treatment of espionage cases, especially those involving allies.

Pollard also shares his transformation in prison, where he found solace and strength in faith, leading to his observance of Judaism. His story is not just about espionage but also about personal growth and resilience in the face of adversity.  Dr. Bob and Jonathan explore current geopolitical issues, offering Pollard's insights into the complexities of Israeli military strategies and the broader implications for global politics.

There are so many twists and turns to this 2-hour interview with the Notorious American Spy for Israel, Joanthan Pollard, that we broke it into 2 episodes.  Jonathan Pollard is one of the most infamous spies in US History, and after 30 years in prison, Dr. Bob sits down with him to hear the whole story.

Jonathan Pollard was an American civilian defense analyst who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1987 for having sold classified information to Israel.  His arrest caused acute embarrassment to Israel, whose officials were caught spying on a key ally.  Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres apologized for Pollard’s activities and dissolved the scientific intelligence agency that had worked with him.

In 1984 he was assigned to the U.S. Navy’s Anti-Terrorist Alert Center. With access to all government documents that could help with his job, he contacted officials at the Israeli embassy who were connected to that country’s Bureau of Scientific Relations and began to supply them with boxes and suitcases full of information from the Departments of State, Defense, and Justice, the CIA, and the National Security Agency. 

Numerous pro-Israel groups continued to call for Pollard’s release from prison, as did Israeli officials and government leaders. In 2015 he was granted parole, and on November 20 he was let out of prison.  We interview Jonathan from his home in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Dr. Bob welcomes another very special Doctor to the program, Hematologist, Oncologist, and esteemed Medical Researcher, Dr. Aaron Goodman.  Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Goodman was a part of the Oncology team that helped save Dr. Bob's life when he had his own battle with a rare and very deadly form of cancer several years ago. 

Dr. Goodman breaks some of the inner-workings of the pharmaceutical industry including drug discovery, testing, and FDA approval.  He explains that cancer occurs when cells in the body mutate and misbehave, leading to uncontrolled growth, and the process of drug discovery, where compounds are developed to inhibit specific pathways in cancer cells. Dr. Goodman highlights the importance of distinguishing between tumor shrinkage and overall survival when assessing drug activity. He also raises concerns about the influence of pharmaceutical companies on clinical trials and the need for greater transparency and patient advocacy in the drug approval process.

Aaron speaks knowledgeably on several controversial topics including the influence of money in drug development and clinical trials, the reliability of surrogate endpoints in measuring drug efficacy, the potential biases and conflicts of interest in the pharmaceutical industry, and the role of regulatory bodies like the FDA in approving drugs with potential risks and side effects.

Today's Life Lessons feature Dr. Kenneth Levin, renowned psychiatrist and author of several books about complex aspects of psychiatry. One of his books, 'The Oslo Syndrome: Delusions of a People Under Siege,' explores why Israel agreed to the Oslo agreements with the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which were not in Israel's best interest. Dr. Levin discusses the phenomenon of the Oslo Syndrome, where many Israelis develop sympathy for the Palestinians due to the ongoing conflict. He also touches on the issue of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment among progressive Jews. The interview delves into the historical context and the challenges faced today by the Jewish community.

Episode 42 features one of the top Israeli Intelligence and Middle East Foreign Policy experts, Yossi Kuperwasser.  *This interview was recorded a few weeks before the current Israel-Palestine conflict resulting from the Hamas terror attacks on October 7, 2023.*  As the Senior Project Manager at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JPCA), and Director General of the Israel Ministry of Strategic Affairs, Yossi has extensive firsthand knowledge of Israel's relations with its neighbors, both friendly and hostile.

We are proud to welcome the infamous Dr. Robert Epstein to the show: American psychologist, professor, author, and journalist. This is an interview that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

***Epstein has been an outspoken critic of Google and has proposed methods for reducing the threat that Big Tech poses to free-and-fair elections.
***In 2013, Epstein discovered a phenomenon he termed the Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME), an internet-influence effect that could give a dominant search engine company the power to determine the outcome of close elections.
***In experiments begun in 2016, Epstein determined that search suggestions—and the suppression of negative search suggestions—can also be used to manipulate votes and opinions, a phenomenon he termed the Search Suggestion Effect (SSE).


Dr. Robert Epstein was awarded a Ph.D. in psychology by Harvard University in 1981, was editor in chief of Psychology Today, and has held positions at several universities including Boston University, University of California, San Diego, and Harvard University.

Epstein has been a commentator for National Public Radio's Marketplace, the Voice of America, and Disney Online. His popular writings have appeared in Reader's Digest, The Washington Post, The Sunday Times (London), Good Housekeeping, The New York Times, Parenting, and other magazines and newspapers.

**This interview was recorded several months ago, prior to the recent barbaric attack by Hamas on Israel.  Although current specifics of the war are not discussed, the problems Israel faces and the solutions General Amir Avivi offers are as relevant and important today as ever.**

Brig. Gen. (Res.) Amir Avivi is the founder and chairman of IDSF.
During his service, Amir held a series of senior roles in the IDF, including Deputy Comptroller of the Security Forces, Director of the Office of the Chief of Staff, Deputy Commander of the Gaza Division, Commander of the Sagi Division, Commander of Batallion 605 and Commander of the School of Combat Engineering

Amir's organization, IDSF, is a group of 16,000 reserve officers and operatives from all branches of the Israeli security forces dedicated to guiding the narrative of Israel’s national security needs and ensuring that Israel’s security in the homeland of the Jewish people is never taken for granted.

At the core of IDSF lies the belief that Israel’s security must be anchored in its ability to protect itself, by itself, while actively thwarting threats to its safety. The authoritative voices of well-known military veterans, media personalities and national security experts, are key in disseminating our security strategy for the State of Israel.

The movement welcomes all those who identify with the message and founding principles, without prejudice to religion, race, gender or rank.

This is not your typical episode of our show.  These are not typical times.  Israel is at war after a heinous terror attack from Hamas, killing hundreds of innocent Israeli citizens.  Today we hear an update from the front lines from IDF Brigadier General and founder of the Israel Defense and Security Forum, Amir Avivi.
