Hate in the Open: Confronting Modern Antisemitism | Robert Spencer & Marc Beckman

Antisemitism isn't just rising in America, it's exploding. And while our institutions hesitate, the attacks are getting louder, deadlier, and more brazen. Just this spring, during Passover, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's home was targeted in an arson attack while he and his family were asleep inside. Soon thereafter, a young Jewish couple was murdered in cold blood in Washington, D.C. Their only crime? Being Jewish.And in Boulder, Colorado, an Egyptian national terrorist launched a brutal assault using Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower on a group of Jewish people who were peacefully assembled to support the Israeli hostages. The attack injured an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, plus 11 other individuals.The question is no longer whether antisemitism exists. The question is: Why is America tolerating it? On today's episode of Some Future Day, I sit down with Robert Spencer, scholar, historian, and author of the new book “Antisemitism: History and Myth.” Together we trace the ancient roots of Jew hatred, explore how Islamic extremism and Western academia are feeding the flames, and confront the role social media and influencers are playing in amplifying the world's oldest hatred. This conversation is raw, necessary, and deeply unsettling. But it's one we can't avoid. If we stay silent now, the future of Jews in America could mirror the darkest chapters of our past.Episode Links:Website: https://jihadwatch.org/X: https://x.com/jihadwatchRSInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jihadwatch.robertspencer/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JihadWatchVideo"Antisemitism: History and Myth" by Robert Spencer: https://a.co/d/12lfxyEOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

Putin, Ukraine, and The Diplomacy of War | Ambassador Georgette Mosbacher & Marc Beckman

Today we expose the brutal truth about Vladimir Putin, Russia, and Ukraine. My guest is Ambassador Georgette Mosbacher, former US ambassador to Poland and one of the few people alive who has seen how deep Russia's propaganda war really goes. She reveals how Putin didn't just invade Ukraine with soldiers, he invaded with disinformation, AI and psychological warfare, and we let him. We talk about American weakness, European cowardice, and why the Biden administration gave Ukraine just enough to survive, but never enough to win.Ambassador Mosbacher doesn't hold back. She says if she had been negotiating with Putin, she would've bombed Moscow, and then called to say, “Don't take it personally, Vladimir!”She says America has been asleep while our enemies build influence campaigns, turn social media into weapons, and use artificial intelligence to destabilize democracies. We dig into the lies, the missed opportunities, and the question no one in power can answer: What does winning even look like? This episode is not comfortable, it's not polite, and it is urgent. Ambassador Mosbacher, you're a good friend. I appreciate you coming on Some Future Day. Thank you so much for joining me on this incredible episode.Order Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

N.W.A.’s Legacy: Compton to AI | DJ Yella & Lil Eazy-E with Marc Beckman

This week on Some Future Day, I had the honor of sitting down with two absolute legends: Lil Eazy-E, the son of iconic Eazy-E, and the one and only DJ Yella of N.W.A. We talked about the origins of hip hop: the real, raw, revolutionary movement that changed American culture and the world. How N.W.A. became a voice for the streets when no one else would listen. How music at one point carried the soul of the people and how much of that soul has gone missing. Today, Yella told me flat out, music's gotten fake. Artificial. AI is writing lyrics, mixing beats, and erasing the human experience. But Lil Eazy-E had a different take. What if he could use AI to bring back his father's voice? Not to fake the legacy, but to honor it. We explored that thin line between innovation and exploitation and asked, can AI ever replace authenticity or is something irreplaceable lost when machines take the mic? We didn't stop there. We talked about politics, race, legacy, and the need for respect between generations. We talked about the launch of their new Hip Hop Hot Sauce, international tours, and what it means to be from Compton and to make it out.This episode isn't just about music. It's about the future of culture, technology, storytelling, and soul. Eazy, Yella, thank you for joining me on this amazing hip hop episode of Some Future Day.Order Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/Episode Links:Lil Eazy-E's Website: https://lileazye.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LilEazyE1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lileazy_e/A Permanent Voice: https://permanentvoice.org/DJ Yella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/djyellaofnwa/Hip Hop Hot Sauce: https://hiphophotsauce.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

School Safety, Guns & Government Failure | Zeev Fragachan & Marc Beckman

What if I told you that the next school shooting is already being planned right now? That the killer is broadcasting his intentions on social media and no one is stopping it? This week I sat down with Zeev Fragachan, a former IDF officer, school security expert, and fierce advocate for protecting America's children, to ask the questions that nobody wants to answer. But we must. Why has the United States experienced over 2,000 school shootings since Columbine, while countries like Israel report zero? Are social media platforms fueling school shooters, or could they be our best chance to stop them?Zeev breaks down the psychological profile of a school shooter. It's not always mental illness. It's something more dangerous. We dive into what happened in Uvalde, Parkland, and the chilling failures of law enforcement, but we don't stop there. We go global to the rise of terrorism, 3D-printed guns, digital radicalization inside Roblox and Minecraft, and even Kanye's anti-Semitic lyrics infecting America's youth.This is a call to arms for parents, lawmakers, and every adult in America, because the next future day could be one we never recover from.

Gaming: The Next Advertising Frontier | Matt Edelman & Marc Beckman

What if I told you the next generation isn't watching, they're playing? On this episode of Some Future Day, I sit down with Matt Edelman, the newly named CEO of Super League, a company connecting brands with over a billion gamers across Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft. We're not talking about ads; we're talking about worlds. Branded quests. Digital sneakers. In-game burrito giveaways that break mobile app records. This is marketing like you've never seen before! Matt shares how Gen Z is spending more time gaming than on YouTube and TikTok combined, and how brands are finally waking up to it.  We get into the big stats - $50 billion in gaming and revenue; 3.3 billion players globally. And how a teenage girl created a hit game that rivals fashion runways in Roblox. I know: my daughter and her friends are totally addicted! Why should brands risk leaving the safety of TikTok or YouTube? We even talk about AI, mobile gaming, and the missed opportunity fashion brands are facing right now by not jumping into this space. If you want to understand where marketing, gaming, and digital culture are headed, this is the episode that you cannot miss!

Crypto Custody & The Future of Finance: Anchorage’s Origin Story | Nathan McCauley & Marc Beckman

Cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence will represent the largest U.S. growth sectors percentagewise over the next five years. Anchorage Digital Bank is the first and only U.S.-based, federally chartered bank, specializing in cryptocurrency and digital asset custody and financial services. Anchorage is legally permitted to operate nationwide, adhering to federal regulations rather than state level regulations, enhancing trust and legitimacy. Its services include custody, trading, staking, lending, and borrowing.I first met Anchorage's genius founder, Nathan McCauley, at the White House Cryptocurrency Summit, and we quickly hit it off. Mr. McCauley's company has backing from well-known venture capital firms and investors, including Andreesen Horowitz, Goldman Sachs, and Visa. And although the company was hit by Biden's Choke Point 2.0 - effectively being debanked - Anchorage is back on its feet, and in fact, it is roaring.Nathan, thank you for sharing your personal founder’s story with me. Your professional and personal worlds are truly inspirational.
