Join host Mike Stenhouse on this special episode of #InTheDugout streaming today at 4:00 PM! In this compelling episode of #InTheDugout, host Mike Stenhouse dives deep into George Gilder’s groundbreaking book The Israel Test. Gilder, a renowned tech visionary and author, argues that the animosity towards Israel is rooted in envy of its economic and technological success, as well as its moral leadership in the world.

We explore Israel’s rise as a powerhouse of innovation, driven by the Jewish “culture of mind” and its entrepreneurial spirit. Gilder contends that Israel’s success should be emulated rather than attacked, especially as the West faces its own struggles. He also highlights the critical importance of America’s support for Israel in the battle for Western values and technological leadership.

George Gilder is a preeminent technological futurist, author, and investor, known for his accurate predictions on groundbreaking innovations, such as the rise of the microchip, the iPhone, and Netflix. A key figure in the development of supply-side economics, Gilder was President Reagan’s most quoted living author and received the White House Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence in 1986 from Reagan himself. With over 20 books to his name, including the influential Wealth and Poverty, Gilder continues to shape discussions on technology, economics, and the future.

Tune in to hear Gilder’s insights on how Israel’s breakthroughs, from missile defense to tech startups, play a vital role not only for its survival but also for the future of Western civilization. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the intersection of technology, geopolitics, and moral courage in today’s world.
