To one familiar with the ways of the world, it comes as little surprise to see that corporations and campuses who once took a rather inviting approach to political demonstrations, have had to rethink their categorical support for such disruptive activities when applied to the state of Israel. Yale and Columbia Universities, as well as tech titans Google and Amazon, once welcomed divisive political speech and unruly demonstrations when applied to the opposition of Donald Trump, or support for a fentanyl junky career felon who met his demise resisting arrest. As many of the same employees now take their White oppressor narratives to supporting brown folks in Palestine, the calculus has changed. Google fired 28 employees for conducting a "sit in" to protest their cloud computing contract with the Israeli government, known as "Nimbus". Protests against the Israeli military campaign in Palestine at Yale and Columbia have resulted in students being arrested. SurrealPolitiks airs live every Monday at 9:30pm US Eastern.

Over the weekend, Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel in retaliation for a strike on Iranian forces in Syria which Israel neither confirms nor denies. As might be expected, American and European military forces took to the skies to defend the Jewish State, in what has been described as the biggest air battle for the Royal Air Force since World War II. Israel has said they will respond to the attack, and Iran says if they follow through on this, that another strike will be launched on Israel. World leaders are purportedly trying to prevent the conflict from spiraling out of control, but as tends to be the case are entirely in thrall to the Israeli government, and all hinges on their decision making process. Stateside, Donald Trump is in a New York courtroom for jury selection in his first of several criminal trials. I won't attempt to speculate on the outcome of either. The only constant of the time we are in is its unpredictability.

I've long said that radio is the medium of the Right. Left wing talk radio has never been successful because it is not a thinking man's medium. You cannot blame Leftists for taking issue with that. It does not speak highly to their values or their competence. They think NPR is great and that we should funnel more tax dollars to it. George Soros has had more than a minor impact on the American media landscape, but thus far, he has been unable to change this firm fixture of the radio sphere. His fund has in recent years sought to change that, by buying up parts of Audacy and Cumulus, two major radio companies with hundreds of stations between them. I read a pretty detailed piece about this in Semafor this morning, I'd like to read that on air and talk about it this evening. Teasing the concept, the Soros venture is going to fail spectacularly as far as media success stories go. He might end up killing the airwaves once and for all, but he will not make people listen to Left wing talk radio, no matter how hard he tries. An interesting element will be to see how much influence he has on existing conservative broadcasters. Will they cave to Soros pressure and alter content? Or will they take their lumps and defy their new boss? I'll have much more to say about this, , and much more, plus your calls at 217-688-1433 when SurrealPolitiks airs live, as we do every Monday at 9:30pm US Eastern.
