Leora Levy has been a leader in many aspects of her life: she was one of the first female traders on Wall Street after graduating college in 1978. Within politics, Leora's professional pathway has been equally as impressive, most recently having served as the Connecticut RNC National Committeewoman, and in 2022, Leora was the Republican nominee for the Senate race against the long-standing Senator Blumenthal. These are just some of her numerous political accomplishments, so it was no surprise that I was going to invite Mrs. Levy to speak on the Taking Back the Narrative podcast.

Born in Cuba to Jewish parents, Leora has the personal insight of why Socialism is dangerous, not just for America as a whole, but for Jews in particular. Join our discussion as we traverse the shifting political climate, the importance of the Patriots within the Republican party, why Zionism matters, and will Jews in America ever see the political light and not keep supporting Hamas, through their votes.

What drew me to establish a friendship with Mark Kennedy, a Jewish political guru, through Facebook, was his well-informed, almost insider-esque, take on all things foreign policy and politics. For years, Mark and I would talk about U.S. politics, the Middle East, and all other hotspots world-wide, to the point where I knew I had to have Mark on as a featured guest on the Taking Back the Narrative podcast.

Join us as we weave from where things stand in Israel today - from the North, Gaza, Eilat, hostage rescue progress, to Iran. We also broach the uncomfortable discussion of how much did Israel know before the Jewish genocide - the military, government, and the absolute brainwashing within the Arab occupier populations in both Gaza and in Judea & Samaria for nearly 80 years.

Is there a Fifth Column in Israel?

Can Israel sustain being a democracy?

Why Tikkun Olam has long been bastardized.

And of course, Mark expertly shares his insight on the upcoming American election, and how Jews are part of the political shift back towards President Trump in America.

The terrorist attack on 9/11 was a pivotal point for Kenneth Abramowitz, the Founder of Save the West (savethewest.com). Though it too, was for many, Kenneth branched out from his long-term career in health care consulting to alert the public about the dangers of nefarious elements targeting Western civilization - from China to Islam to the Democrats in America.

Kenneth is one of the few worldwide who have been such a strong voice on the need to save the West - from the initiative's very informative website to astute webinars, and the numerous speeches to groups - all have been effective tools to sound the alarm.

Tune in to this exciting episode as Kenneth and I delve into the difference between political Islam and Islam, the religion - is there a major difference? What happened to Western Europe and why and how is Eastern Europe holding on to its values, despite all the pressure to submit to globalization. The Abraham Accords are also discussed at length - why did the Arab nations decide to finally normalize relations with Israel, and what will push Saudi Arabia, if anything, to fully embrace Israel.

Currently, America is at a tipping point - one more anti-American President, and the U.S. will be fully Socialist, and through the indoctrination at public schools, we are well on our way to erasing the freedoms and ideals on which this nation was founded. Kenneth and I fully discuss the implications of this upcoming election.

Additionally, Kenneth is also Chairman of Citizens For National Security.

It was an absolute honor to have on Rebecca Harary, who is not only the President & Founder of CASEPAC (Combating Antisemitism Everywhere PAC), but is also the Co-President of the America First Club.

Rebecca is the type of person that sees a problem or a need, and finds an effective solution - from helping found a school for autism in Brooklyn, to running for political office in NYC to address immediate concerns of constituents, to going straight to the top within the Federal government in not only addressing the vile virus of Jew-hate, but working within the system to do something about it.

Jewish voices can no longer be silent. We do not need to accept the status-quo of being attacked, not in Israel, not here in America.

Tune into my conversation with Rebecca as we span the topics of Zionism, being proud Jews, politics, Israel, why re-electing President Trump matters, and much more!

It was a true honor to have had on Shabbos Kestenbaum, a proud Zionist who is the bearer of many titles: a student activist and a media contributor; a lead plaintiff against Harvard University, and a lecturer on combating Jew hatred.

Shabbos is an Orthodox Jew who planned on pursuing his collegiate goals of studying religion at Harvard Divinity School. Even prior to the Jewish genocide on Oct. 7th, the school was rife with anti-Israel hate, as Shabbos says in the episode, "one would think no other country exists (for them) aside for 'Palestine.'" But the scale of psychotic Jew hate seen on campus post Oct. 7th was unprecedented.

Students and faculty both participated in intimidating pro-Israel Jews on campus. This scenario was repeated across liberal schools across the nation. However, Shabbos stood up against Jew hate, retained impressive counsel (the case is now going to trial), and even testified in front of Congress. Shabbos is proof that Jew hatred need not be tolerated and that it's high time for Jews to push back strongly.

In this episode, Shabbos goes into great detail of the Harvard environment and the pro-terrorist groups. And I add in some historical background as to when and why anti-Israel sentiment infected liberal schools in America.

It's an episode not to be missed!

* Correction - Gaza has been Jewish land since 145 BC. The League of Nations twice upheld the legal and historical rights of Jews in Gaza, and to this day, that legality remains through Article 80 of the UN Charter.

Brandon and I get into the weeds of why both American Jewish leadership has failed Jews in America and in Israel, and why Israeli leadership needs a complete overhaul. The sorry excuse for leadership has jerked Israel down a path of capitulation to the needs of the antisemitic West, has fueled the ease of terrorism against Jews in the Jewish homeland, and even during this war, this across the board Jewish leadership is not truly understanding the broad scope of enemies; no, it is not just Hamas that needs to be eliminated.

This episode is not for the sensitive, not for those who need everything sugar-coated, but for those who truly want to understand what went wrong and how to actually fix the grave mistakes so that another Jewish genocide will never occur.

Lilly Schwartz, a Program & Resource Coordinator at Nevut (https://nevut.org/), was instrumental on the podcast to share the importance of lone soldiers and their role in the IDF.

What motivates someone to join the army that does not have to? What are the challenges?

As a former lone soldier herself, Lilly answers all these questions and much more! We also touched upon politics (of course), and our visions for a safer Israel. Lilly is also proudly married to a former Satmar, and lone soldier. She is close to her in-laws and extended family; thus, we were able to get outside the headlines and delve into a passionate community that many misunderstand, and who are beginning to pivot on Israel and its reality. We left no topic unturned.

No one can make sense of the senseless that happened on October 7th. One cannot comprehend the mass murder in horrific ways of 1200 people and the taking hostage of so many innocents. Join Daniella and I as we weave through dissecting the policies and politics of both Israel and the U.S, what needs to be done to ensure safety, and what fuels Jew-hate.

Daniella provides an inside take into the resiliency and humanity of the Israeli people, the shifting perspective of the newly ‘awake’ in both countries, and how we can steer our children on a better path socially and politically.

This episode also contains great teachable moments regarding the importance of semantics and why and how Gaza is actually Jewish, and has been since 145 BC.
