Well, well, well, thank you for coming.

Tonight, it is my great joy to have as our guest, Melanie Phillips, who has come from across the ocean.

We'll find out exactly which ocean and which direction, because I'm not entirely sure.

She's a British journalist, a broadcaster, an author. She's championed traditional

values in the culture war for more than three decades. And of course, championing traditional

values makes you an ultra-radical at this point, right? It doesn't make any sense, but it's, of course,

true. She writes a weekly column for the Times of London and the Jewish News Syndicate.

As she broadcasts on radio and TV gives public presentations across the English-speaking world.

Her new book is titled The Builders Stone, How Jews and Christians Built the West,

and Why Only They Can Save It. You should have a copy of that on your seat.

It is not yours to keep. So if you don't mind, if you don't mind, leave it where you found it,

okay? Her first novel, Melanie Phillips's first novel, is The Legacy, which deals with conflicted

Jewish identity, anti-Semitism, and the Power of History.

That was published in 2018, along with her personal and political memoir Guardian Angel.

Her previous books include her 2006 bestseller, Lundonistan, about the British establishment's capitulation to Islamist aggression.

And then after that, the world turned upside down, the global battle over God, truth and power,

which was published in 2010.

Of course, tonight we'll be discussing the Builders Stone.

It's my privilege then to welcome Melanie

Phillips to the stage. Melanie, welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you.
