The End of a Jewish Golden Age with John Podhoretz
b'Will we look back at the past few decades in America as the Jewish \\u2018golden age\\u2019? And is this \\u2018golden age\\u2019 now over? Did October 7th mark the end? Or should the signs have been obvious years ago? \\n\\nJohn Podhoretz recently wrote a long essay for Commentary Magazine describing how we got here. He writes: \\u201cSeveral seemingly unconnected arguments and controversies in the United States that had been carefully cultivated over the past couple of decades sprang into full flower on October 8 and thereafter. The weapons were ideas that had flowed for a quarter century from university graduate programs to activist groups to K\\u201312 education and then began to reach millions through online mailing lists, listservs, and social-media entertainment services.\\u201d\\n\\nI wanted to have a conversation with John about how we got here, whether we are truly alone, and are they \\u2013 actually \\u2013 coming after us?\\n\\nJohn Podhoretz is a return guest to this podcast. He is a writer and public intellectual. He is editor-in-chief of Commentary Magazine and host of Commentary\\u2019s critically acclaimed daily podcast, he\\u2019s a columnist for the New York Post, and author of several books (including one of my favorites, \\u201cHell of a Ride\\u201d, about his time in the first Bush Administration). \\n\\nHere is the essay we discuss in the episode: \\n\\n\\u201cThere\\u2019s Coming After Us\\u201d \\u2014 https://www.commentary.org/articles/john-podhoretz/antisemites-coming-after-jews/'
