The Fight Against Big Tobacco: Dave Goerlitz was a featured print model for Winston cigarettes from 1981 to 1988, and appeared in more locales than the Marlboro Man himself.  On location one day, a Big Tobacco executive uttered some shocking truths about who cigarette manufacturers target.  Goerlitz quit repping Winston at the height of his success to become one of, if not the most important anti-tobacco crusader in history, sharing very uncomfortable truths with literally millions of people, in particular vast numbers of kids.  His work for public health groups put him front and center during the tobacco wars which culminated in a the famous tobacco company settlement shared across United States to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.  Where did the settlement money go?  What is Big Tobacco up to now?  Has anything changed?  Are kids still the target?

Daniella Bloom returns!  Our campuses are aflame with anti-Semitism while most of our academic leaders cower in fear.  The Ivy’s represent the worst, but Bloom reports visiting southern campuses that don’t brook the world’s oldest hatred.  We discuss Biden’s two-faced approach to the war and whether Jewish Americans recognize that the Democrats have turned their backs on their most reliable voting block.  Why doesn’t Gaza look like Tel Aviv, and whose fault is that?  RFK Jr is crystal clear on supporting Israel…what’s up with Tik Tok… and can we survive DEI tribalism?

The JRA builds alliances with Jews and non-Jews across America.  Could it be that John Fetterman is the last Democrat?
