Uh, and the third third book, um, there's a a new book by by Josh Hammer, who's a a young Jewish natcon called Israel and Civilization. And, um, I think a lot of people want to know, uh, especially now that Jews in Israel have become, you know, lately quite controversial on the right in many ways. A lot of people want to know how can how can you be a Jewish Naton? and he he wrote this book which I I I think is really beautifully done.

Answering The Ezra Klein Show's closing question, three books to recommend, in “Behind Trump and Vance Is This Man’s Movement” (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-yoram-hazony.html). Quoted from the episode's YouTube auto-captions.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
