Not That Kind Of Rabbi with Ralph Benmergui
Mark Breslin on the value of Jewish comedy and identity in an increasingly antisemitic world

Last month, the flagship Yuk Yuk's location in downtown Toronto hosted a stand-up comedy fundraiser for Friends of the Israel Defense Forces. Predictably, anti-Israel protesters swarmed it. The club's founder and owner, Mark Breslin—who organized the event—tried to get in through a back entrance, only to find more protesters waiting there for him and his family. Through cries of "Baby killer" and "Genocidal maniacs", they entered, got the police riot squad called in, and the show went on as planned. It's not the first time Breslin has encountered hatred because of his identity—which is, he says, more founded in tradition than religion. Breslin went into depth about his upbringing and beliefs in an engrossing sit-down interview with his old friend Ralph Benmergui, at the Prosserman JCC on Feb. 13, as part of a series of live tapings of The CJN's podcast Not That Kind of Rabbi.

Jeff Bezos: No Taxation With Too Much Representation, Episode 1247

Jeff Bezos, the homunculus, founded Amazon based on the notion that there was no limit to how fast he could grow if customers never had to pay a sales tax. Our government gave Amazon a special exemption from local sales taxes which means for nearly two decades Amazon was able to undercut ALL of America's book and record stores because books and CDs are far cheaper when there's no sales tax. Naturally, or unnaturally, Amazon turned into a colossus forcing practically all of America's bookstores and record stores out of business. And nobody said anything. Nobody said, “Maybe Main Street USA is an apocalyptic hellscape because City Hall doesn't collect a sales tax, and all our local merchants have to charge a sales tax which means they can't compete with Amazon which doesn't collect a sales tax.” Yes, it's that simple. Amazon got to where it is by not paying taxes. And now we're discovering Jeff Bezos doesn't pay taxes either. New reporting says some years he literally pays ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in taxes. The richest man in the world doesn't pay taxes. And it turns out THAT's why he's the richest man in the world. It's just that simple. Bezos is going into space next month. Let's hope he stays there. Or at the very least let's hope Bezos gets stuck up there for a couple of days so he can discover what it's like pissing into an empty bottle of Gatorade just like everybody who works for him. Jeff Bezos is the personification of evil. And if you fail to understand why then you're part of the problem.

Please support this show by donating, we accept all major credit cards: https://davidfeldmanshow.com/supporting-people-in-need/ Topics: Housing prices are making it increasingly impossible for ordinary Americans to find shelter. In 60 years this country has gone from fighting a war on poverty to fighting a war on the poor. Our government, corporations and the rich loathe the homeless because the homeless are a constant reminder that this entire system is a lie. It's not working. So the only solution is to somehow make the homeless disappear. We are told the homeless are criminals. We are told it's the homeless who need to be arrested, not the greedy landlords who created them. But the problem is homelessness, not the homeless. Americans must stop blaming the homeless for being homeless. The homeless are children, women and veterans. The homeless are Americans who can't afford to get their mental illness treated. The homeless are people who can't make ends meet on a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. The homeless are people who can't afford the rent. On Memorial Day we honor those who died serving our country, and those veterans who came home to no home.
