Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, there is a lot going on in terms of President Trump and his effort to bring peace to Europe and peace to the Middle East.
The president now, he has his representatives headed to Saudi Arabia to discuss peace between Putin and President Zelensky.
You know, I find it amusing, President Trump fulfilling his campaign promise.
There's not going to be a country of Ukraine left.
And the idea that the United States is going to spend hundreds of billions of more dollars to fight a proxy war with Russia is just not realistic.
And nobody's going to benefit from that anyway.
The best answer would be a peace agreement, a negotiated settlement, a minerals deal that will give money to the Ukrainians to rebuild their country, also allow a U.S. presence in the region.
Hopefully it would include European troops to be available to them as well without joining NATO.
That's not going to happen.
And, you know, I just listened to the idiots in the Democratic Party and the state-run legacy media mob.
President Trump fulfilling campaign promises on issues that 70% of Americans are on his side.
But anyway, we see pathetic people on the left in both the media and the Democratic Party.
You know, they're out there trying to revive their own version of a Russia gate hoax with bizarre outbursts like the Trump White House has become an arm of the Kremlin.
Pulsi Gabbard is now warning, you know, sends a warning to the U.S. Senate on Syria, which kind of proved prophetic as an al-Qaeda-linked regime is slaughtering minorities there.
Anyway, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard gave a warning of a terrorist takeover in Syria.
Looks to be coming true amid reports that al-Qaeda-linked terror forces have aligned with Syria's interim new president, a former al-Qaeda terrorist, and being accused of massacring different groups and people in the country, in the Christian community, whatever remains of it there.
And security forces from Syria and affiliated government gunmen have killed hundreds of civilians, the vast majority of them from one particular community, the Alawite minority in the last two days.
According to Reuters, they're reporting on this.
Here's Tulsi Gabbard saying, I shed no tears for the fall of the Assad regime, but today we have an Islamist extremist who's now in charge of Syria.
Here's what she said.
I shed no tears for the fall of the Assad regime, but today we have an Islamist extremist who is now in charge of Syria, as I said, who danced on the streets to celebrate the 9-11 attack, who ruled over Idlib with an Islamist extremist governance, and who has already begun to persecute and kill and arrest religious minorities like Christians in Syria.
I understand why that should be acceptable to anyone is beyond me.
It should certainly understand.
And President Trump had warned back in 2015, we don't know who these rebels fighting against Assad are, and warned that they might be worse.
Now, remember, this is the same Donald Trump way before 9-11 that was talking about a guy by the name of Osama bin Laden.
Listen.
So I've watched Assad, and I've watched a little bit on the other side.
The problem is the other side of Assad, we have no idea who they are.
They probably are ISIS.
I'm saying, are we better off with Assad?
We have no idea who these people are.
We give them weapons, we give them ammunition, we give them everything.
Aaron, we have no idea who.
I mean, maybe it's worse than Assad.
So what are we doing?
Why are we involved?
We have to get rid of ISIS, very importantly.
But I look at Assad, and Assad, to me, looks better than the other side.
And, you know, this has happened before.
We back a certain side, and that side turns out to be a total catastrophe.
Russia likes Assad, seemingly a lot.
Let them worry about ISIS.
Let them find it out.
Anyway, joining us now is Abe Hamadeh is with us.
He's with Arizona's 8th Congressional District to discuss this uptick in violence and re-emergence of al-Qaeda in Syria.
And he, by the way, recently visited Gitmo, served as an Army intelligence officer.
He's on the Armed Services Committee and the Veterans Affairs Committee.
Thank you, Congressman.
Great to have you back.
How are you?
Doing well.
Thank you, Shot.
We really don't know who when people go as evil as I think Assad was.
You really don't know who's going to replace him.
It looks like we're figuring that out pretty quickly.
Yeah, it seems like the whole world is figuring it out right now.
So, you know, these events that just happened over the last few days is so concerning because I actually had some of that community, the Alawite community, and the Druze and the Kurds in my office just a few weeks ago warning me about Jolani, the new president of Syria and his group, HTS, which, as you mentioned, is, it was a terrorist organization, was labeled a terrorist organization, especially during the Syrian civil war.
But over the last two days, what you saw was the Alawite community primarily was being targeted.
And these are the ones who are most aligned with Bashar al-Assad.
And why?
Because Bashar al-Assad was a member of the Alawite minority community, which represents about 10% of Syria.
But we have to remember, Bashar al-Assad was very close with Iran and Hezbollah.
And what you're seeing right now with this new president, you know, he has to try to unite a country that right now doesn't trust him because they have a good reason not to trust him.
I mean, HTS and Al-Qaeda, they wreaked havoc on the Syrian civil war for so many years, targeting minorities like Christians, like the Druze, like the Kurds and the Alawites.
But just a few minutes ago, I just saw that the new president of Syria, Jolani, just signed a agreement with the Kurdish faction in northeast Syria, integrating them into the state institutions like the military and with their oil fields.
So it's troubling and concerning right now, but right, at least we have Israel to protect certain minority groups.
I mean, Israel has committed to protecting the Druze because they have a huge Druze population within Israel.
So you see Israel taking that mantle of being a regional partner and a good neighborly steward for the region.
But we have to make sure that we protect the minorities, especially the Kurds, who took the fight on with so many American soldiers to take on ISIS during that time period, Sean.
They did, and they were slaughtered.
And they have been the victims of many, many assaults and tons of terror attacks and murders.
And even they were gassed numerous times in the last number of decades.
What do you make of where is Syria now with Iran?
Because the number one threat, I believe, if the Iranians ever get nuclear weapons, and this is not Sean Hannity wanting to be a war hawk, I don't.
I do believe, however, that a nuclear weapon in the arms of the mullahs in Iran, that chant death to America, death to Israel, probably would result in a modern-day Holocaust.
Am I wrong in believing that?
No, absolutely.
I mean, Iran has been trying to take their foothold of Syria since Bashar al-Assad got toppled.
And right now, they're trying to use some of these factions who are anti-Jolani to try to rev them up for support.
So that's why you see Hezbollah trying to have a re-emergence in Syria as well on the West Coast, on the Mediterranean.
That's where the Alawites primarily are.
So it is complicated, Sean, but the Iranian regime is suicidal, just like Hamas is suicidal.
That's why they committed October 7th.
And look at Gaza.
Look at Gaza is destroyed because of Hamas's actions.
So we're dealing with people who are not using logic in their decisions.
They're very religious, suicidal maniacs, and that's in control, sadly, of a population that's, what, 75 million people in Iran that is trying to get nuclear ambitions.
But luckily, Bibi and Yahoo in Israel has really done so much damage to the Iranian regime, not just in Iran, but if you look at Hezbollah and Lebanon, Hamas, and even the Houthis.
So Iran's right now is, they're severely weakened, but I would never underestimate them because they always are trying to infiltrate.
I mean, they're trying to infiltrate Jordan right now, trying to use some of the Palestinians in Jordan to create upheaval as well into our ally, King Abdullah, over there.
So it's a big problem, but we have to make sure Iran is on notice, is on check.
And with President Trump in office and Bibi Nanyahu in Israel, I feel very secure as an American knowing that those two are in charge.
Well, I do too, but we are coming to a moment of truth if these reports are correct.
I mean, I've never been the biggest fan of the IAEA, and the Iranians have never been willing to do a deal.
And the deal that was done with Obama was insane, kind of reinstituted under Joe Biden.
Now sanctions will be enforced, and that cuts off the money supply for the Iranians to foment their terror throughout the whole region because they've been helping Hamas and Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad and the Houthi rebels and firing their own ballistic missiles into Israel.
And Israel has been in a fight for their very survival since October the 7th.
And if the IAEA is saying that they are likely to have nuclear weapons and that's imminent, maybe the Israelis don't need our help.
I would imagine they probably need our bunker buster bombs knowing that these facilities are buried deep in the ground.
But there seems to be two targets that need to be looked at and looked at in the short term, not long term.
And that would be their refineries, which is the source of their money.
And the second would be their nuclear facilities so they can't break out with nuclear weapons.
Am I wrong in thinking that?
No, you're exactly right.
So, you know, Israel is going to take care of its business.
They know the region better than anybody, Sean.
And something that I was so disheartened with.
But don't you think they're going to need our help?
Absolutely.
And they have our commitment and help for sure.
But we have to make sure that the United States is involved in it.
And we have to provide them the weapons and the capabilities.
And President Trump is committed to doing that.
But, Sean, I remember, you know, the Houthis, for instance, when I was serving overseas in the army in Saudi Arabia, I was deployed there.
I remember Joe Biden pressured the Saudis to stop their aerial campaign against the Houthis at the time, who were firing missiles at us.
And if you can imagine, you know, when Biden took office, Saudi Arabia decided to stop.
And now look at what the Houthis have done since that, since the bombardment stopped.
They started targeting Israel.
They started targeting shipping, the shipping lanes and the ships over in the Red Sea.
So nobody knows the region better than those who are currently in it.
When we stopped Saudi Arabia from targeting the Houthis, that was a big problem because then the Houthis was able to rearm.
And all the Houthis, they're being funded by the Iranians, all those missiles that are being sent to Israel from Yemen.
I mean, that is thousands of miles.
So Israel knows how to take care of Iran.
They have the best intelligence in the region, so they know their capabilities.
And when they say that we need a strike, it's probably a good reason to listen to them because they know that Iran is at the precipice of attaining nuclear weapons.
Oh, that's a pretty scary scenario.
And it's not that I'm looking for America to get involved in a conflict.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back more with Abe Hamaday of Arizona's 8th Congressional District discussing the issues of world peace.
And this is a big week for it.
Hopefully a lot of progress by week's end.
We'll be following it all very closely.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hale.
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.

I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down with Verdict with Ted Cruz Now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, we continue now.
Congressman Abe Hamaday is with us from Arizona as he now discusses what is a big week in terms of Donald Trump on the world stage trying to negotiate a peace in Europe between Russia and Ukraine and a peace in the Middle East.
Hopefully he can be successful on both ends of that.
And what do we do about the Iran question?
Anyway, we continue our discussion.
If the Israelis, with the help of the U.S., are able to take out their refineries and nuclear sites, do they have well, they have their Quds forces, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards forces.
I'm not sure how much assistance, aid, support militarily they're going to get from China/slash Russia, but I got to imagine that that would incapacitate them and I think probably take away their capability of fighting any conflict.
Am I wrong?
Oh, you're exactly right.
I mean, they've already been so severely weakened with Hezbollah being decapitated and the Hassan Asrallah, the head of Hezbollah.
I mean, Hezbollah's structure is pretty much done right now.
I mean, you still have some of the fighters, but their leadership structure is gone.
So when Iran no longer has these proxy groups able to fight their wars, it becomes a big problem because they have to focus internally.
That's why I'm so concerned about the Houthis as well.
I mean, the Houthis, you know, they still have sophisticated capabilities, which they should have.
They're basically the Taliban of Yemen, yet they have all these missiles that come in from Iran.
So we have to make sure we're decapitating the heads of these proxy groups like Hezbollah, like Hamas, like the Houthis.
And that would at least help whenever a strike, if a strike has to occur, they can't respond towards our interests and our allies and the United States itself.
You know, it really, really is a chilling time for the world.
How do you see this conflict ending in Gaza and in the Middle East and in Lebanon and with the Houthis and, of course, all of it fomented by Iran?
Well, I think if you look, President Trump, he did achieve historic peace in the Middle East, Sean.
We saw that with the Abraham Accords that was signed in 2020.
And I believe Saudi Arabia is on the cusp of signing an Abraham Accords 2.0.
And once Saudi Arabia does that, that's going to change the whole region forever because you're going to start to see other countries like Qatar, possibly Kuwait and Indonesia, even the Southeast Asians starting to acknowledge Israel's existence.
And, you know, that's the thing.
I think a lot of these Arab countries, especially the Gulf Arab countries, they're starting to understand that Iran is the threat and they're the ones who have been fomenting the seeds of so much radicalism throughout the world and especially in the Middle East.
So I'm optimistic in a sense that what Israel has done so successfully post-October 7th is asserted itself as a huge regional player in the Middle East, protecting minorities, protecting even the Arabs themselves against the Iranian threat.
So that's where, if you look at the statements from MBS, the head of Saudi Arabia, I do think that with President Trump in charge and Bibi Na and Yahoo in Israel, I do believe another Abraham Accords can come to fruition.
I hope so.
And I hope for the safety of the world.
If the president's able to pull off peace in the Middle East and peace in Europe, wow, what a feather in his cap that would be.
And how great will that be for the world?
I think he's on track, hopefully, to accomplish both of those.
I don't think either one of those tasks will be easy, but he's certainly working hard at it.
We appreciate it.
Abe Hamade, thank you so much.

All right, before we get to the phones, it's a 50-50 tie on the issue where we put up on a poll, and the voting has stopped as to whether I'd go on the view, which is good.
That means that is up to my discretion.
I'm not forced to.
I always think Linda stacks these polls.
I think she does push polls instead of real polls.
But we'll get to your calls on that in a second.
I see a lot of people calling about it.
There's a show on Netflix, I guess, and I did watch it briefly, and I got bored with it even quicker.
And love is blind, I guess, is what they call the show.
Anyway, so you're talking to these people.
I guess it's supposed to be, well, you know, don't focus on people's looks and see if you have a connection on another side of that and whether it's deeper than just a physical attraction.
And then you meet the person and you're engaged.
And then you spend 30 days.
You have a romantic getaway.
And then you meet your families.
You go to your home cities.
And then you make the final decision if you're going to go through with the wedding.
Anyway, so you have this would-be bride in this final season episode, and she goes to the altar dressed in white, and she's all ready to get married.
And she gets up there and she says, instead of I do, she goes, I don't.
I couldn't believe it.
And I don't know.
Sometimes I have my suspicions about these reality shows and how real they are, whether they're scripted or not.
I have no reason, no evidence that they are.
And I just watched this scene and this poor guy get humiliated.
If she really, you know, was the loving person that she claims to be.
You know, she says, my heart is there, but when we talked about a lot of the values that I hold so close to my heart making this decision, my mind is telling me that I can't.
And she remembered that she asked him about Black Lives Matter.
And he said, well, I'm no expert, but when I asked him about it, he's like, I guess I really never thought too much about it.
That affected me, she said.
How could it not?
How did it not make you think about something?
And I asked him, too, what his church's views are, and he said he really didn't know.
And then I watched, and so I watched a sermon online about sexual identity, and it was traditional.
And I told that to him, and he really didn't have much to say about it.
I want someone to think about that stuff.
Now, if she really thought these issues were that paramount in her mind, Linda, why would she drag this guy on a television show to the altar to do that to him there?
Yeah.
I think it was one of the cruel.
I think it was assuming it's all real.
I don't think it was cruel.
It was cruel.
God bless you.
He's lucky.
He dodged a bullet.
Can you imagine life with that?
Oh, my God.
Yeah, but the problem is if she even had any feelings at any point, which apparently she did, she had enough feelings.
She spent enough time alone with him that if she cared even slightly about the guy, why wouldn't she say that prior to the wedding and say, you know what?
I'll tell you something.
That girl loves you.
Why would you do that to somebody?
She only loves herself.
She doesn't care about anybody else.
She looks in the mirror every day.
She's totally in love with herself.
She's blinded by her own ego.
And then I don't get the guy.
I really don't.
He said, you know, he still would like to, you know, continue, you know, a relationship with her and get to know each other even more.
And I'm like, no, run for the hills.
Are you out of your mind?
Well, clearly he was dropped on his head too much or played some sort of contact sport where he was, you know, concussed.
I mean, I don't know.
At the end of the day, I have to assume that, you know, they both got paid for this drama to bring attention to a show that may not have been doing as well as they would like.
And so they're, I mean, it very easily could be being paid off.
I have no idea.
But any man worth his salt would not stand there and take that and certainly wouldn't say afterwards, oh, I'd love to get to know you better.
You know everything you need to know.
You know, run, run as fast as you can.
Far away.
Run and don't stop running.
Keep going.
Exactly.
Run forest.
Run.
Oh, my God.
Anyway, Bonnie, you know, this is interesting because we had a poll up on Hannity.com.
We discussed last week.
I had mentioned that a while back, the View invited me on, and I'm like, I don't want to go.
And Linda's like, you need to go.
Look at your text.
Look at your text.
I sent you the results.
Okay.
I got to see the results.
Oh.
It's a dead even.
Well, no, you just fixed it because it was just 50-50.
Now it's 50-50.
Oh my god, it is 50-50.
It's leaning towards yes, but it's by like four percentage points.
It's nothing.
Four-tenths of a percentage point, but who's counting?
All right.
Bonnie in Virginia has a position on this, and Kathy in Maryland has a position on this.
Bonnie, say hi to Kathy.
Kathy, say hi to Maryland.
Bonnie, we'll start with you.
Welcome to the program.
Hi.
Thank you for taking my call.
I just think you need to go on the view.
I think it would be hilarious.
I think you have a calm demeanor as far as like when you have a viewpoint, you know how to life it is.
I don't have that demeanor because if I were to go on that show, I'd probably be screaming at them.
But I think you need that's a platform that doesn't hear a conservative viewpoint, a sound conservative viewpoint.
I think it would be awesome for you to do that.
Kathy and Maryland, what do you say?
I say, that's really not what I think.
You wouldn't have a chance to even express yourself.
They do nothing but gaslight and talk over people.
And if you don't have their viewpoint, you're not going to get yours across.
I'm against you going on there.
I hope I can be that four-tenths of a percent into the don't go.
Well, no.
Well, I think you need to, I think Linda's stacking the deck.
I think Linda does push-falls.
I do.
I really, I have no faith.
I have no way to access my own website, if you can believe it.
And anyway, so I'm leaning with you, Kathy.
Bonnie, here's the thing.
I've been on the view.
I've been on there many times.
The last time I was on, Rosie O'Donnell was on screaming like a lunatic.
And it became a fight.
Poor Barbara Walters was there, and she was trying to get us both to stop.
And I'm like, I'm not stopping and taking this crap from her.
And we just went at it, and we went at it and went at it until finally she just like they went to black and it went to a commercial break.
We should dig up that old film.
I mean, I find this show, well, first of all, it would be good for their ratings.
And I don't know, they're kind of, I think like late night comedy shows, I think they're kind of on cancellation watch.
Well, I don't want to help them by going on their show.
That is a factor in my mind.
Number two, why do I want to subject myself to that?
That means probably too, though, I have to pay taxes in New York for that day.
I'm like, who needs that?
I mean, I don't know.
If it was an overwhelming yes, I probably would do it because I feel like I have an obligation to my audience to do what they want me to do.
Bonnie, are you okay if I don't go?
Oh, yes.
Yes.
I will still watch and listen.
I just think it would be hilarious and it would be a way to have the conservative viewpoint on another platform.
I mean, because people are.
Let me play a little clip of when I was on with Rosie and how insane she went.
Listen.
You're exceptionally cute.
I know.
Look how cute you are.
Thank you.
Well, you're very nice.
But I hear you're like a rabid Republican.
Yes.
Would you ever say just Republican or is every Republican rabid in your view?
No, I heard that you were a rabid Republic.
Well, have you ever listened to my show?
Yes.
You have?
Yes.
Do you think I'm a rabid Republican?
I think you're, yeah.
You're passionate.
And I think you back up everything you say.
You're very, very smart.
There's the rock.
But not only that, I have more liberals on my radio and TV show than anybody else out there.
Rosie, you are invited on my radio and TV show anytime you want to come.
I'd love to come.
I don't have a job.
But you have a very clear position.
I think Condoleezza Rice is a strong viable possibility for the radio.
Get a close-up of me, please.
Get a close-up of my face.
Are you okay?
That's what I would think of a friend to Lisa Rice nominee.
But that's showing.
Don't you see the figure?
Where's the evidence?
Apple Gallery!
There was underwear on the head of one individual.
We're not raping and killing anybody.
I think you're delusional.
I mean, Bonnie, you still want me to go on that?
Yes.
Yes.
All right, Bonnie and Kathy.
Thank you both.
You're good sports.
We actually have one more calling in.
Becky in North Carolina.
What do you think, Becky?
Hey, Sean.
Thank you for taking my call.
Yeah, I think you should go on it.
And here's you need props.
You've got to take a couple of props with you.
You know how the Democrats had those little paddles during the dress?
Well, I think you have a couple of those that you just slide out of your suit and hold them up when they say something absolutely ridiculous or demeaning and make them simple.
Like they are said things like false or that's a lie or not true.
And I think you should just do that.
Just hold it up when they talk over you and don't give you a chance to talk.
You just whip out a paddle.
That would actually be very, very funny.
That would be really funny.
Me too.
I could just say joyless.
That would be one of them.
I could say wrong again.
I could say fake news.
I could say, you know, we could come up with a lot of clever things to put on our little ping pong paddles or bingo paddles that the Democrats brought to the joint session of Congress.
I think that's actually a great idea.
Oh, man.
Please don't talk me into this.
Please.
Right now I'm holding the line.
I don't want to be talked into it, but that's a clever thought.
There's no doubt about it.
That's brilliant.
Linda's smiling.
I can see her all the way in Pennsylvania right now.
Happy girl, let me tell you.
Yeah.
Anyway, good thought, Becky.
We appreciate you being out there.
800-941-Sean, our number, Chris in New York.
What's up, Chris?
How are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hey, Sean, what a great time to be an American and what a terrible time to be a Democrat.
Agreed.
I mean, Sean, they are self-destructing.
And how is it that John Fetterman is the voice or reason for the Democratic Party at this time?
And I don't really agree with everything that he says, but he, I mean, the Democrats are in a civil war within their own party.
You know, it's sort of like what I mentioned earlier in the program.
And you watch the radical Democrats.
Hakeem Jeffries goes viral with these comments.
We've got them on the run, meaning Republicans.
And I'm looking at this.
I'm like, have who on the run?
What are you talking about?
I saw a party that was an absolute mess.
They're collapsing on our watch.
I'm like, the only people that are collapsing before our eyes are Democratic leaders.
And even some Democrats are recognizing, even Chucky Todd recognized that, you know, Schumer Jeffries are paralyzed fear from their own Tea Party left-wing radical revolt that's going on.
And it is, and there was another column that came out.
You know, Trump's speech to a joint session ended the notion that the Democrats are the party of compassion and working men and women.
It's now being led by the likes of AOC and Jasmine Crockett.
And the other thing that's amazing to me is that, you know, Elon Musk is having all these federal workers show up for work.
Let me tell you something.
As a truck driver, we're out there working 70 hours a week.
We're no different than military men and women that are out there away from their families.
We're out there transporting goods across this country so everybody has what they need.
And yet they're complaining about going to work 40 hours a week.
Hey, listen, if you guys didn't stay on the road during COVID, we'd all be dead.
And what you do every day, we go into whatever store we go into, and everything is there because of one of you guys, a trucker.
Anyway, Chris, stay safe on the road, my friend, and thank you for what you do and your fellow truckers.
Thank you so much.
We appreciate it.
800-941-Sean.
How do you like the idea of me getting a Tesla, Linda?
I'm sorry.
I love it.
I think it's a great idea.
It's a great idea.
Absolutely.
I think you should get a Tesla and then you should have it, you know, really nicely done with like Trump signs all over it and a giant American flag on the back of it.
Is that what you want me to do?
I think that's a great idea.
Absolutely.
If you're in Florida, first of all, I mean, you'll get nothing but love.
I think you.
I think you're right.
Are you kidding?
And I don't drive far anymore.
I mean, it's not like I'm taking long road trips.
Yeah, but you might just start taking long road trips just to tick off a couple of liberals as you head into some of the more liberal areas.
It'll be fun.
If I wanted to do that, I would have stayed in New York.
It's been nearly 18 months of nonstop war and a fight for their very survival.
And our friends in Israel, we saw the heartbreaking scenes when the Beabis children were returned in coffins with their mother.
They were held hostage and murdered in Gaza.
And then you see Hamas terrorists supported by Iran, and they're celebrating and acting like this is the greatest thing that ever happened.
It's the saddest, one of the saddest things I ever saw.
Now, thankfully, because of your support, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they have been able to provide for all of the refugees of this war, all of the victims of this war, tens and tens of thousands of people, people that are displaced out of their homes.
They need every bare necessity.
They need food, water, shelter, medicine, you name it.
And, you know, the families are hostages.
And with your help and financial support and emotional support, they're doing everything that they can do to help those in their time of need.
The humanitarian needs are great.
Whatever you can give, hopefully on a monthly basis, is desperately needed as they fight, you know, for their very survival against radical Islamic terrorism.
Anyway, please go to their website.
It's onewordsupportifcj.org.
One word supportifcj.org or call toll-free.
It's 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ.
