Episode 180 - Cliff May, Founder and President of FDD


Opening monologue addresses our fraught times and the shameful accusations by attorney broadcaster Mark Levin against fellow Jews who broadcast at CNN. Tapper and Blitzer were wrongly belittled by this loud MAGA enforcer. Self-hatred is an accusation classic for MAGA; displaying their projection and confession. Take on MAGA propagandists and capitulators, and you’ll be labeled a hater by dangerous attorneys like Levin.

Olbermann called Levin out with trademark humor, but in an excessively MAGA-mean way. Why mispronounce Levin’s name and say he’s a creature? Not nice to mock Levin for his asthma, heart problems, and voice. Attack him substantively, not for immutable characteristics. Don’t emulate GOQP. We’ve got the sound, and constructive criticism. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/white-house-pans-fox-news-talk-show-host-mark-levin-for-calling-blitzer-tapper-self-hating-jews/

Clifford D. May is the founder and president of FDD (Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a nonpartisan policy institute focusing on national security created immediately following the 9/11/01 attacks on the United States. Now, following the Hamas attack on 10/7/23, we must consider May’s informed views more than ever.

Under his leadership, FDD has become one of the nation’s most highly regarded think tanks and a sought-after voice on national security issues, including Russia, Itan, and Israel. FDD’s staff and advisory board consists of scholars and experts on terrorism, nonproliferation, human rights, Islamism, democratization, and related issues.

Show Troubadour Dave Gunders is celebrating his 70th birthday this week and we take time to note he’s the perfect example of a Jewish mensch for his music, family and great values.
