Following the October 2023 terrorist attacks in Israel, reports of antisemitism have risen across America. In 2025, the U.S. Department of Education opened civil-rights investigations into dozens of colleges over their alleged failure to protect Jewish students.Debates over antisemitism, free speech, and the boundaries of political coalitions have become increasingly visible. Some have called on conservatives and libertarians to take a forceful stand against antisemitism and draw clearer lines against figures who refuse to do so. Others have grown skeptical of how antisemitism is defined and argue that supporters of Israel are squelching legitimate dissent.Are more proactive measures needed to combat antisemitism in America? When does coalition-building become moral evasion, and when does gatekeeping risk policing legitimate dissent? Join us for a timely and lively discussion of antisemitism, free speech, and the proper limits of the right’s “big tent.”Featuring:Dr. Jesse Merriam, Associate Professor of Government; Pre-Law Advisor, Patrick Henry CollegeJosh Blackman, Professor of Law, South Texas College of Law Houston(Moderator) Hon. Kenneth L. Marcus, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law

Stuck on the “wrong mountain” in your legal career but unsure what to do next? In this episode, career coach and former lawyer Sherry Mason breaks down how ambitious attorneys can separate prestige from true fulfillment, avoid burnout, and plan a smart, strategic exit instead of a panic-fueled leap. In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Sherry Mason discuss: Ambition vs. prestige in legal careers Skills, situation, and identity as sources of dissatisfaction Burnout, autonomy, and control for lawyers How spending 20% of your time on aligned work drastically reduces burnout A five-step framework for planning a career transition   Key Takeaways: Many high-achieving lawyers climb career “mountains” chosen for them by others, only to realize later that prestige alone doesn't guarantee a fulfilling life. Career dissatisfaction typically stems from one of three areas (skills, situation, or identity) and it's critical to understand which one is actually driving your unhappiness before you make a big move. Burnout often reflects a loss of autonomy and misalignment between daily work and personal values, not just long hours or compensation.  Research suggests that if just 20% of your time is spent on the work that most lights you up, your risk of burnout can drop dramatically, even if the other 80% is less enjoyable. A thoughtful, stepwise approach of clarifying your criteria, forming hypotheses, testing them through conversations, reaching the right decision-makers, and weighing trade-offs can turn a vague urge to quit into a strategic, lower-risk transition.   "You can do anything, but you can't do everything, and a lot of times we work on climbing to the top of a mountain, and sometimes it is a mountain that someone else has told us would be the right mountain for us to climb.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Neil Kraus. A professor of politics, geography and international studies at the University of Wisconsin River Falls, Dr. Kraus is Department Chair, Pre-Law Advisor, as well as Chair of the International Studies Program. He pays particular attention to race and politics. Since the White Terrorist slaughter at an east Buffalo Tops grocery store, where 10 black people were killed, Gus has devoted substantial time and energy to studying the history of White Terrorist violence in Buffalo. While digging at the University of Washington library, Gus found Dr. Kraus's book, Race, Neighborhoods, and Community Power: Buffalo Politics, 1934 - 1997. This work provides a comprehensive history of west New York, and the many ways Whites have deliberately maintained and refined the System of White Supremacy in all areas of people activity. However, it fails to mention the 22 Caliber Killer, Joseph G. Christopher and his butchering of numerous black males in Buffalo. The killings occurred in the middle of the time frame this book explores and further evidence some of the major themes of his book. We'll ask Dr. Kraus if this this was a willful omission or personal ignorance. Interestingly, Dr. Kraus's White brother dialed in and stated that Gus put his brother "on the defensive" about his failure to include the .22 Caliber Killings. We'll also discuss the 1995 death of Cynthia Wiggins - a black teen mother killed by a dump truck. #RickJames #GhettoLife #YouLie4th #LetsGoBuffalo #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#
