A Dive into History, Courage, and Today's Politic

Welcome to another episode of Between the Presets with your host, Rudy Stettner. In this enlightening discourse, Rudy touches on diverse topics revolving around history, courage, changing perspectives, and the political atmosphere.

Rudy starts with a reflection on the recent Passover holiday and moves onto the commemoration of the end of World War II. In his reminiscence of WW II's aftermath, he comments on its significant impact on Jewish history and the toll the war took on Nazi-occupied Europe.

In commemoration of the end of WW II, he tells the gripping story of Sophie Scholl, a young German student who was an active member of the White Rose, a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany. Despite once being a member of the Hitler Youth, her courage was undeterred, and her anti-Nazi beliefs led to her swift execution at age 21.

He then moves onto a stinging critique of the present state of the universities where professors direct political narratives, and students seem more interested in preaching than learning. Additionally, he talks about the alarming power of governments in steering minds and hearts with the allure of free education and subsidies.

Rudy also discusses the shocking use of courts and lawsuits as political weapons, as evidenced by the impeachment trials of former President Donald Trump. Ultimately, he concludes the episode with a heartened plea to the listeners to speak up against the disturbing developments in society, un-silence truth, and safeguard democracy.

Stay tuned for this deeply engaging episode of Between the Presets, where history intertwines with our present and reminds us of the importance of courage, open-mindedness, and the power of speaking up.
