	The ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans in the United States to a whole nother level.
	You have employees who are celebrating genocide, and you are saying it's despicable for me to answer ask the question.
	After the horrific attacks of October 7th, calls for a ceasefire.
	A calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas.
	To surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism.
	That will not happen.

	Sean Hannity.
	More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
	Alright, thanks, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
	Here's our toll-free number.
	It is 800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a part of the program.
	We had a pretty wild time in Washington last night.
	Hope you all watched the Congressional Town Hall and got a lot out of it.
	I Let me just say I'm about to give you a news summary.
	And I just I just want to take this snapshot of this moment and really just I'm hoping you will let it sink in in terms of what what these times are that we are living in and how perilous it is.
	And I want you to ask yourself, how different would things be if we had an American president that knew that today was Thursday?
	How different would things be at our border?
	How different would things be with energy?
	How different would things be with law and order?
	How different would things be if the world, especially hostile regimes and our enemies, how would they be acting and responding to a strong president?
	Now when you start with, for example, the war on Israel, and I think everybody needs to understand this, because I am really furious to be honest with the Biden administration and what they're now they're trying to do what I knew they would do.
	They're doing exactly what I was telling you was going on behind closed doors because my sources have been telling me now for some time that Joe Biden is saying one thing publicly as it relates to Israel, but on the other side of his mouth, he's telling them something very differently, and he sounds supportive uh on the one hand, but in real life, Joe Biden is anything but being supportive.
	And oh, by the way, I do have this announcement.
	Your vice president Kamala Harris has announced the national strategy to combat Islamophobia in the wake of the rise of anti-Semitism.
	I have not read and I read so many so much every day.
	I mean, the the the consumption level of information I take in on any given day is hours and hours.
	It is voluminous.
	Imagine reading a textbook or two a day.
	That's that's what it takes to do this job, at least what it takes me to do this job and and do it to the best of my ability.
	I think it takes that.
	And this this is so infuriating to me that I can't even believe that this is now the Biden administration because they're now they now want to pause in this conflict with Hamas and Israel.
	Israel is only getting going.
	They're only beginning to fight back.
	And the idea that Joe Biden and the Biden administration would in any way want to pressure the Israelis not to defend their homeland and to put a pause in this war that has not even really gotten started, it really should shock the conscience.
	How stupid is this person?
	Our president, your president, to not understand that Israel's very existence is now being threatened right before our very eyes here.
	Iran and their nuclear envoy is threatening Israel with annihilation.
	You have the top Hamas officials saying that they're going to repeat October 7th and the terrorist attacks until Israel is annihilated.
	That's what they're saying publicly that they're going to do.
	And yet Joe Biden, you know, it's it's insane.
	Biden says that the IDF should put its Hamas counterattack on hold.
	No, they should not.
	They should eliminate the threat that is Hamas in the South.
	And Hamas has been firing hundreds of thousands of rockets into Israel.
	It's been going on forever.
	They should be destroying this network of terror tunnels, some 300 miles of it.
	They should be destroying Hezbollah in the north.
	They should, at the end of this, it's it's got to end this way that neither Gaza or anybody in Lebanon and Hezbollah or the Hamas in Gaza should ever be able to fire another rocket into Israel ever again.
	It's got to end with every one of the network of terror tunnels destroyed forever.
	And for Biden to come in and try to undermine Israel in the middle of its war is to me, it's it's unbelievable.
	And then Joe even took it a little further.
	Joe's now telling Netanyahu, according to reports leaked to Politico, that oh, it looks like Netanyahu's days are over.
	So he's trying to use the terror attack to make a political play to get rid of neither Biden nor Obama ever like BB Netanyahu.
	Because BB makes them look stupid because they are stupid.
	BB has moral clarity.
	BB understands the nature of evil.
	This is the same BB Netanyahu that stood with us after 9-1101.
	And for Joe Biden to say this as he's now leading his country into a multi-front war, I mean it's beyond repulsive to me and to everybody else.
	They want to undermine Bibi as he's now put together a coalition, you know, government just for the purposes of uniting to defend the state of Israel, because it is their very country that is hanging in the balance here.
	And yet we have a Biden administration employee, you know, of the State Department, and then of course the Department of Homeland Security.
	This became very clear with Josh Hawley yesterday.
	Senator Grassley now calling on the State Department to terminate an anti-Semite employee there that has an inflammatory blog.
	And I think Senator Grassley is right.
	Blog is called Blood and Faith, and he used uh this in tandem with a podcast advancing views that the Jews are the enemy.
	Why are these virulent anti-Semites working in the Biden administration and why when we find them, don't they fire them?
	You know, and then of course Anthony Blinken is out there say speaking the obvious, saying that they can't guarantee that any humanitarian aid, remember, Joe Biden wants to give a hundred thousand, I'm sorry, a hundred million dollars to the Palestinians, it's never gonna get to the Palestinians.
	Where do you think the money for the network of terror tunnels came from?
	It came from humanitarian assistance money meant for the people in Gaza that was used instead to build out a network of 300 miles of sophisticated and expensive tunnels and to buy the rockets, the hundreds of thousands of them, that they keep firing into Israel, and you don't have to be a brain surgeon uh to figure out where the money's gonna go if in fact Joe Biden gives them aid.
	Muslim leaders now threaten to abandon Joe Biden, by the way, just hours after Biden abandoned Israel.
	You know, where did this statement, oh, for the first time ever, uh we are launching launching an uh a national strategy to combat Islamophobia.
	Now, if there was rampant Islamophobia out there, I would condemn it.
	You know, there are people that that are peaceful and these uh with that of the Islamic faith.
	When I talk about radical Islamists, I'm talking about those that buy into the radical ism of jihad and holy war and antifadah, those that think that you get 72 virgins if you kill, you know, innocent men, women, and children in heaven.
	The those are the radicals, not and and people that speak with these broad generalizations.
	I've never liked people that do that.
	But right now, the world is experiencing the worst anti-Semitism since the 1930s.
	And I've never used that analogy on radio or TV.
	I've always thought people used it inappropriately.
	Right now is the appropriate time after hearing the things that we have been hearing and seeing the things that we have been seeing, and and watching the virulent hatred and anti-Semitism on display in our own country, our in the halls of Congress on our university campuses, and more broadly worldwide.
	But this is what they're now doing.
	This is a form of insanity.
	We are living through really messed up and very difficult times, and we don't have somebody in the White House that has the moral clarity to deal with the moment.
	This is an inflection point.
	These are consequential times.
	Israel winning this conflict over terrorism is in the world's best interest.
	Because if they can defeat Israel, they're not stopping there.
	It's all part of the convert or die ideology advanced by the radical Islamists.
	That's just what we're dealing with here.
	And that's why when you hear Hamas officials back to the news repeating that October 7th and the terror attack against Israel is going to continue until, quote, Israel is annihilated.
	They're saying it.
	Their charter has in it to wipe Israel off the map.
	They're saying it.
	I think it's high time that maybe the world start listening.
	Anthony Blinken can't guarantee that U.S. aid to Gaza wouldn't go to Kamas.
	Gee, it took you how long to figure that out?
	Now, by the way, I give Speaker uh Johnson a tip of the hat, Mike Johnson, the new speaker, and he's telling the Senate GOP that Israel money must move by itself, and that, yeah, it's it's gonna cost money, but they've already spent what, 76 billion dollars on Ukraine.
	Israel's only getting 14 billion.
	And Joe Biden wants to give another 61 billion to Ukraine.
	And meanwhile, he's never demanded that Europe step up and protect their own continent and that allies in the region step up and contribute more.
	And on top of that, Joe's put handcuffs on Zelensky and the Ukrainians and their ability to win the war.
	So why are we wasting our time?
	Because they can't win a war if Joe Biden is putting handcuffs on them.
	You know, if you look at anti-Semitism, uh, it's it's pretty much everywhere.
	You have an obscure uh liberal foundation behind groups organizing a wave of this pro-Hamas activism.
	Um AOC now accusing a pro-Israeli PAC of being an extremist organization.
	I mean, it's like everything is upside down.
	It's like, you know, purple is blue and orange and and orange is blue and purple, and like nobody knows right from wrong anymore.
	Standing up against terrorism is a no-brainer.
	And we ought to be terminating uh State Department employees that are anti-Semitic and Department of Homeland Security employees similarly that are anti-Semitic.
	Out in San Francisco, police are investigating a shop vandalized with pro-Palestinian graffiti is a hate crime.
	The owner happens to be Jewish.
	Harvard student was mobbed by pro-Palestinian Demonstrators yelling shame, it's all caught on video.
	You know, U.S. uh officials.
	Now, I read this today, and I'm like, okay, U.S. officials are holding their breath because they're fearful of an Iranian cyber attack.
	Well, why aren't you doing anything to Iran to hold them responsible?
	Why isn't the world more focused on the fact that the number one state sponsor of terror was responsible for plotting and planning and scheming and providing the weaponry for this worst attack in Israeli history?
	And now and what's happening in our own country.
	Well, look at the borders.
	We got another seven, ten thousand thousand people in a caravan headed to the border.
	We have all these people coming from the Middle East, thousands of them.
	We have, you know, nearly 700 from Iran, 700 from Syria.
	We have tens of thousands of Chinese nationals showing up at our southern border.
	You know, people from Russia, large numbers there too.
	These are our top geopolitical foes.
	Do you think every one of those people are here just because they want a better life for themselves and their family?
	I don't think so.
	And we wouldn't know anyway, because they're not doing any vetting.
	Why?
	Because Joe Biden is hellbent on aiding and abetting law breaking and not upholding the rule of law and upholding our constitution.
	We do have updates, by the way, the Joe Biden bribery and money laundering scandal allegations.
	Uh James Comer's going to be here.
	He'll tell you the whole story.
	We told you about it yesterday, that Joe Biden himself got 40,000 and laundered China uh Chinese money from his brother in 2017.
	Jim Jordan announcing an inquiry into intelligence agencies over alleged obstruction of a Senate inquiry.
	Republicans launching the probe of a spy script casting Biden uh allegations as disinformation.
	I mean, our own government is so corrupt.
	It is so corrupt.
	All right, we'll give you all the news.
	I mean, we got so much to get through today.
	I don't even know how we're gonna manage to get through it all.
	James Comer will be on.
	Uh Senator Rick Scott is checking in with us today, and we're gonna talk to one of the top IDF generals.
	I mean, this has been a hard interview to get about the military strategy of a two-front war, and what if that two-front war with Hezbollah in the north in Lebanon and Hamas out of Gaza, and then the Houthis declaring war, the rebels in Yemen against Israel, and then Syria firing rockets into Israel, and then the threat of Erdogan and Turkey and the threat of the mullahs and Iran also similarly getting involved.
	You think it's an impossibility?
	Oh, it's a possibility.
	That's how bad this can all get.
	And it can go south really quickly.
	I will say this.
	If it does get to the point where Israel's existence is hanging in the balance, all bets are off.
	Prime Minister Netanyahu will do whatever is necessary.
	They say never again.
	This is now never again.
	He will do what is necessary to protect his state and his country.
	And wouldn't you want an American president to do the same thing if this was happening to us?
	Hey there.
	I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
	And I'm Carol Markowitz.
	We've been in political media for a long time.
	Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
	That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
	We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
	We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
	So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
	You're our kind of people.

	What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
	Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
	Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
	It's almost a dirty word.
	One that connotes conspiracy theory.
	Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
	Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
	We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
	You put two and two together.
	Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
	Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
	I'm Leon Nafok from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
	This is Fiasco Benghazi.
	What difference at this point does it make?
	Yeah, that's right.

	Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
	So I've made arrangements.
	I'm going to see all the GoPro videos.
	Apparently, the Hamas terrorists on October 7th, they wanted to film their atrocities.
	And Israel has about 40-50 minutes of coverage.
	Talk to people that have seen it.
	More than a couple cried.
	When IDF soldiers actually saw it, they cried.
	By the way, the IDF soldiers, I've hung with these guys and girls.
	Let me tell you, they're kick-ass, no holds barred, take no prisoners.
	These are kick-ass people.
	Strong people.
	And they've been brought to their knees and tears just flowing from their face as they watch their fellow citizens bludgeoned and murdered and beheaded.
	And just evil that you can't imagine.
	And viewing that.
	I'm gonna do it.
	I'll report back to you.
	All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
	Thanks for being with us.
	You know, it's kind of amazing when you think about it.
	The group Planned Parenthood, uh, who is a group founded by this woman named Margaret Sanger, uh, do you know that she believed in eugenics?
	How is it that that organization gets millions and millions of dollars your tax dollars every year?
	Anyway, it brings me to the issue of preborn.com.
	And I gotta tell you something about this group.
	They are in the business of really helping expecting moms and people that have unplanned pregnancy.
	It's happening every day for so many people.
	And what they've discovered is through using the science of 4D ultrasound, which they offer to any expecting mom for free, that when expecting moms, if they were thinking about abortion, and then they hear a heartbeat and they see facial features growing inside them, and they can actually even count fingers and toes.
	Um all of a sudden the attitude or the option of abortion gets greatly diminished.
	And then they're there to help these expecting moms if they need, for example, counseling, if they need after they have their babies, if they need anything like you know, baby formula, diapers, baby food, whatever it is, they're there to help them.
	But they don't get a penny from the federal government, not one cent.
	And anyway, they are doing this and literally every day, expecting moms or choosing life that maybe we're thinking about abortion, and it's only because of your generosity that this great mission of using science to change people's hearts and helping these expecting moms has been so effective.
	By the way, 100% of they have 100% charity rating, and there's two ways that you can donate because they can't do it without you.
	Um I got to get them next week.
	I'm going to get them another 4D ultrasound machine for one of their facilities because they need them.
	They don't have enough, they don't have enough of the 4D ultrasound machines to actually stay up with the demand that they have.
	But every single one of these can happen only because of your generosity.
	There are two ways to donate.
	You can take out your cell phone dial, pound 250, say the keyword baby, pound 250, keyword baby, or just go to their website.
	It's preborn.com/slash on preborn.com slash Sean S E-N.
	Sorry, it's taken out my throat, Lousinger.
	I had it in the side of my cheek, like it was sort of like chewing tobacco, like baseball players.
	It's like this, it's called recall.
	Been living off them.
	Um, so we've got a lot of news here, and it's really frustrating to me that you have a captured Hamas terrorist describing shooting into a room full of ch Israeli children until their crying stopped.
	This was on Fox News.com, a Hamas terrorist telling Israeli security authorities and officials that he and another guy shot and killed crying children inside a safe room until the sounds could no longer be heard while acknowledging they entered the house simply to kill these innocent people.
	You understand that that's what happened here.
	You understand the 260 kids at the concert, they they were there to listen to music and have fun and celebrate, have a great night, and in come the paragliding Hamas terrorists, wiping them all out, and then going door door to door and just slaughtering innocent people.
	Trained by the Iranian cuds forces and the Iranian revolutionary guard, weaponry supplied by Iran.
	What is the world gonna do about Iran?
	You know, when is when is the world gonna realize that's where the head of the snake is?
	When is when are we gonna take death to America, death to Israel seriously that the Iranian mules are constantly chanting?
	But I mean, you think about the level of detail.
	Now, look, and we'll get into this with the IDF general that's on later in the program today.
	The the military operation, the the way this all has to go down is this.
	I don't know what their methods are gonna be.
	It's certainly one option that Israel would have, they could obliterate Gaza and just basically leave it with nothing standing.
	That would be one option.
	That would neutralize the threat of Hamas terrorists ever firing or using Gaza as a launching pad to fire rockets into Israel, but they're choosing not to do that because they do believe in the humanitarian side of life.
	And for, you know, for so many years they have withstood all of this rocket fire and they've not engaged in a full-fledged war.
	This is now their moment of truth.
	Because now you have the Hamas's leader now repeating that October 7th, these attacks are gonna continue until Israel's annihilated.
	So now they have no choice.
	Now they've been pushed to the brink.
	They didn't start this war.
	They didn't want this war, but I'll tell you how it has to end.
	They have to win the war.
	The way they win the war is they have to demolish Hamas and ensure that Gaza can never be a launching pad in the future.
	They have to demolish Hezbollah in the north to make sure out of Lebanon that those areas close to the border can never be used as launching pads again for rockets into Israel.
	They've got to destroy this 300-mile network of terror tunnels so that they can never ever be used again to capture, kill or take hostage Israelis.
	Israeli Minister of Defense says Hamas has two options die or surrender that's it And that's what it's going to come down to.
	And all the world is saying is, well, you, you know, look at all the innocent civilians, the collateral damage.
	Well, why don't you ever take a look at the whole truth?
	Because the whole truth is uh it's a lot more nuanced than that.
	There's a lot of context and texture.
	The people of Gaza that have wanted to leave have been forbidden from leaving.
	Why?
	Because Hamas, the terror group, likes to use people as human shields.
	You know, we're even told that underneath that hospital that never got bombed, that the media mob in this country uh peddled that false propaganda about.
	It was a parking lot that got hit, and it was done by the Islamic Jihad.
	It was not done by Israel, and then we have all the evidence to prove it.
	But apparently, under that hospital, that very hospital, in that hospital, they have terror tunnels underneath it.
	This is where Hamas soldiers are hiding.
	Now, what is Israel's choice?
	They could wipe out the hospital and then get the Hamas terrorists in the tunnels there.
	But you know what?
	They're actually trying their hardest to avoid civilian casualties.
	How many times can you warn the people, the civilians in Gaza, to get out or you will die before eventually you've got to fight the war and win the war for your your country's survival?
	And that's the position that Hamas has put the Palestinian people in and the people of Gaza in.
	And I'm talking about young, innocent people, mothers and children, although I don't know how innocent anybody is because of the level of indoctrination at the youngest of ages in Gaza.
	That should scare everybody.
	I think it's one of the reasons neighboring countries have been so hesitant and reluctant and frankly refuse to take in any refugees because of the fear that they don't know if these people have been radicalized or not.
	And does any country really want to invite in people that have been taught since the day they're born to hate the Jews and kill the Jews and to be involved in jihad?
	I mean, the IDF spokesperson said that Israel now is broken forward, uh broken the forward uh Hamas perimeter.
	That's that's a lot of progress.
	You know, Palestinian officials are saying Gaza's only cancer hospital is inoperable and they have a fuel shortage.
	Well, guess what?
	Israel provided evidence that Hamas took the fuel.
	So no wonder the hospital can't operate.
	It's unbelievable.
	IDF, their spokesman has said Hamas is now embedded with the civilian structures.
	They're going into people's homes and they're hiding there.
	In other words, they are putting all of these innocent people at risk, their lives at risk by hiding inside of their homes.
	And you know what what is the IDF at some point?
	What are they going to do if that is Hamas?
	What bothers me is why it is that the media mob is having a hard time understanding what it is that Hamas what who they are.
	Why don't they understand that these are radical Islamic terrorists?
	These are people that are willing to use innocent men, women, and children as human shields.
	These are people that kill with abandon.
	These are people that have one mission and one mission alone, and that is to, you know, follow through on their fanatical, you know, religious beliefs, which is convert or die, and they don't care who dies in the process with them.
	You know, this could Take several months.
	But on the other hand, if Israel wanted to wipe out Gaza, they could.
	They could wipe it out today, and this this Gaza would cease to exist.
	They're not doing that, are they?
	What does that tell you about the Israelis?
	Now, a report out today that they're using robots to clear the tunnels.
	You know, they've got themselves a dilemma there also.
	Because we're told that the hostages are in a lot of those tunnels.
	By the way, did you see the innocent faces of the 32 children held in the tunnels by Hamas?
	Have you seen the torture videos that Hamas terrorists have been putting out of babies that they're holding in their arms so that their mothers and fathers back in Israel will get to see that their kids are alive and in the hands of a terrorist?
	What do you think that would do to psychologically to you as a parent if you had to see that?
	I don't think that would be a good day in your life, would it?
	Probably be the most heartbreaking moment of your life.
	And knowing too that the odds that you'll ever be able to hold your own baby again are probably low, considering the depth of the depravity and the evil of the people that are holding them.
	You know, by the way, Israel as of now has lost 17 soldiers killed in this conflict.
	And, you know, now they've got 300 miles of Hamas.
	This network of terror tunnels that they've they've got to deal with.
	I guess the robots are a good idea.
	I'm not sure what happens there.
	I have this whole picture.
	It was in the UK Sun.
	Look at the picture, Linda of this little baby.
	You know, the faces of 32 children held in the tunnels by Hamas.
	Why did they release those pictures?
	They're releasing those pictures, and often it's Hamas terrorists holding those babies.
	They did it to torture.
	That's psychological torture.
	If you're a mother and you're a father, imagine that is your child.
	How do you think those parents feel today?
	That is the depravity and the evil.
	We watched it in this country on 9-11.
	We lost 2,000 97 of our fellow Americans that day.
	Now we did lose others, 9-11 related illnesses.
	I'm talking about in a single day.
	Population extrapolated out, Israel's population, 1,400 dead, hundreds of others taken hostage.
	You're looking at in a single day, that would have been at least 38, probably 38,000, probably 40,000 plus Americans killed in a single day.
	What do you think America would do?
	You think America would give an atom shift about uh in any way about what we had to do to defeat this enemy?
	I don't think so.
	And if we had a president that wouldn't do any and everything to defeat that enemy, I'd I'd make sure that person was thrown out of office, and so would my fellow Americans.
	But yet we have the Hamas officials now vowing to do this October 7th bit again and again and again, quote, until Israel is destroyed.
	Their very existence is now hanging in the balance.
	This is why I don't understand why there's a lack of moral clarity.
	This is why your media in this country is so repugnant, repulsive and corrupt and abusively biased.
	You know, forget about the Russia hoax lies for three years and conspiracy theories.
	These people on MSDNC, fake news CNN, these disgusting writers at the New York Times, at the Washington Post, these repulsive networks, ABC, MBC, CBS.
	They they they have zero moral clarity.
	They don't understand the nature of this conflict.
	They don't want to understand it.
	They have not covered those those virulent anti-Semites all over our country.
	They've not done a deep dive into congressional members and universities around this country.
	They have not looked at the expansive amount of anti-Semitism worldwide.
	U.S. officials are holding their breath for Iranian cyber attacks.
	What the hell does that mean?
	If we were holding our breath thinking, uh oh, they're going to attack us, why don't we act first?
	Oh, God forbid.
	There's been 27 attacks on American soldiers in Syria and Iraq in the last little over two weeks.
	What's Joe's reaction?
	A pinpoint little strike on two empty warehouses.
	They're shooting at our Americans.
	And we're not doing anything about it.
	Just like he abandoned Americans in Afghanistan.
	Just like he abandoned Americans even in Gaza and in Israel that have been trying to get out.
	Ron DeSantis got out people from Florida.
	And he didn't even charge him for it.
	Apparently, the Biden administration was charging.
	Iran's nuclear envoys now threatening Israel again with annihilation.
	Now, for you idiots in the media mob, and you people are idiots.
	You're ignorant.
	You think you are such great journalists, you suck.
	You don't do your job, you're corrupt, you're abusively biased.
	Why don't you read what Iran's nuclear envoy is saying here when they threaten Israel with annihilation?
	When they s when they chant death to Israel, death to America, what part of that are you not understanding?
	And why oh why would Iran become the chairp the now officially chairing the forum on human rights at the United Nations?
	If ever there's a time for the U.S. to say goodbye to the United Nations, now would be a good time.
	And stop funding it.
	Let China pay the bill.
	Let the UN move to China.
	Let's take the real estate back.
	Let's throw them the hell out of here.
	And let's let's stop inviting people from terrorist countries into our country for the UN uh uh whatever conventions that they have every year that make it so I can't even get to freaking work.
	Can't stand these people.
	We better wise up.
	Let me tell you something.
	All of this pay close attention, the economy, your borders, better pay attention to energy, better pay attention to Russia, China, Iran.
	You better pay attention to radical Islamic terrorists, and you better think deeply and hard about this before you go vote in November 24.
	All right, when we come back, we're gonna talk to a top IDF general.
	How do you fight a two-front war and maybe more?
	Uh, also the latest on the Biden Joe Biden bribery and money laundering allegations scandal with James Comer, uh, Senator Rick Scott checks in, and much more as we continue.
