Discover the mechanisms behind the anti-BDS movement and the legislative battles to uphold economic solidarity with Israel as we host Texas State Senator Phil King. In an episode that meshes political insight with personal anecdotes, we'll traverse the complex terrain of economic warfare and the targeted sanctions against Israel, shedding light on the strategic countermeasures employed by Texan lawmakers. Phil King brings a wealth of experience and perspective to the table, as we discuss the implications of the BDS movement not only for Israel but also for the political landscape at large, including the economic attacks akin to those faced by public figures such as former President Trump.

We'll also venture into the realm of academia, where the lines between free speech and anti-Semitism are being navigated with precision. Senator King reflects on the creation of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Anti-Semitism Commission and the adoption of an international definition of anti-Semitism, highlighting Texas' proactive stance in protecting its educational institutions. The conversation takes a turn to the energy sector as we dissect the state's approach to integrating renewable energy and the quest for a stable electric grid amid rapid growth. Join us for a riveting discussion that not only unpacks the fight against anti-Semitism but also offers a candid look at Texas' energy evolution and the defense of academic freedom.
