I'm your host, Tomer Klein, host of The Blue Collar Jew, the show where we push back on all these lies that are in our world, and we challenge the narratives.

You know, a lot of times when I'm out with customers out and about, out in the field, they'll ask me, they'll say, why are Jews so liberal? Well, that's a narrative, and that's a narrative that should be challenged, because the truth is, we're not that liberal.

You ask any religious Orthodox Jew across the world, they'll say, And many of us would probably be more right wing than even some of your modern day, you know, woke right characters that are rising in the ranks.

And some of these great rabbis of our time, one of them I have on the phone, who's a dear friend and a dear influence in my life throughout the years.

He was a very well-known American rabbi who played a key role in shaping modern Orthodox Jewish thought.

America today is in great danger, and I do not say it's something that we can always say.

The youth are being taught to hate America, to hate authority, to hate police, to hate anything that's the establishment and to fight the establishment.

What that means is they do not know what they are talking about, but they want to hate anything of authority.

They study on our campuses and are going to be judges and college professors in the year to come.

If you look at any Jew who is an Orthodox Jew and follows the proper laws of Allah by Jewish law, that's what it is.

One of the great things, my personal rabbi, personal friend who's on the line, he always told me since day one, you have to have structure.

And as of now, we are seeing across the board, across all demographics, even affecting to a degree in our society as well, in the Orthodox Jewish world, that without this consistency, you won't have the success.
