Antisemitism in America is real, it is rising, and Congressman Randy Fine has lived it firsthand. In this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Rep. Randy Fine (FL-6), the first Jewish member of the House Freedom Caucus, for a deeply personal conversation about the rise of antisemitism, the line between free speech and action, and the conservative influencers Fine says are pushing a moral rot into the movement. A Harvard graduate, third-generation Floridian, and former state legislator who authored landmark anti-boycott legislation, Rep. Fine represents Florida's sixth Congressional District. He led Florida's response to campus antisemitism, secured $40 million a year for Jewish day school security, and chaired the Florida House Commerce Committee. Inside this conversation: how Fine grew Florida's Jewish day school security funding from $641,000 to $40 million a year; the Florida bill that sends antisemitic flyer-litterers to prison for five years; why every American synagogue now needs panic buttons on the wall; the three real prosecutions for credible threats Fine has faced in nine years in office; why he calls Tucker Carlson the most dangerous antisemite in America; how China, Russia, Iran, and Qatar are weaponizing antisemitism to fracture America; and the one action every viewer can take today. Jenny Beth Martin is co-founder of the Tea Party movement and Chairman of Tea Party Patriots Action. Find every episode at jennybethshow.com.
