Our number is 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, uh 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.
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 uh troops uh to be available to them as well without joining NATO.
That's not gonna happen.
And, you know, I I just listened to the idiots in 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, um 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.
Pulsey Gabbard is now warning, you know, sends a warning to the U.S. Senate on Syria, which kind of proved prophetic as a 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 uh massacring, you know, different groups and and and people in the country in the Christian community,
whatever remains of it there, and security forces from Syria and affiliated government uh gunmen have killed hundreds of civilians, the vast majority of them from one particular community, the Alawite minority in the last two days.
Uh, 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's certainly not in our 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 racist.
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 Hamiday is with us.
He's with Arizona's eighth uh congressional district to discuss this uptick in violence and re-emergence of Al Qaeda in Syria.
Uh and he, by the way, recently visited Gitmo, served as an army intelligence officer.
He's on the Armed Services Committee in the Veterans Affairs Committee.
Uh thank you, Congressman.
Great to have you back.
How are you?
Doing well, thank you, Sean.
We really don't know who's when when people go as evil as I think Assad was.
You do 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 'cause 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 ten percent of Syria.
So but we have to remember Bashar al-Assad was very close with Iran and Hezbollah Shawn.
And uh 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 and they have uh 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, uh 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, uh, integrating them into the state institutions like the military and with their oil field.
So uh 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 store a good neighborly steward for the region, but uh we have to make sure that we protect the minority, 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 uh they have been the victims of of many, many assaults and and and tons of terror attacks and murders, and even they were gassed uh numerous times uh in in the last number of decades.
Um 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.
Um I do believe, however, that a nuclear weapon in the arms of the mullahs in Iran, the 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 uh got toppled, and right now they're trying to use some of these factions who are anti Jolani uh 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 seventh, and look at Gaza, look at the Gaza's destroyed because of Hamas's actions.
So we're dealing with, you know, people who d are not using logic in their decisions.
Uh they're very religious suicidal maniacs, and that's in control, sadly, of a population that's what, seventy-five million people in Iran that is trying to get nuclear ambitions.
But luckily Bibi Netanyahu 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 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.
And to 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 BB Nine now 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 that 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 you know 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 don't need our help.
I would imagine they probably need our bunker buster bombs knowing that these these facilities are buried deep in the ground but there seems to be two targets that need to be looked at and looked at you know in the sh in the short term not long term and that would be the refineries which is the source of their money and the second would be the 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's going to take care of its business.
They know the region better than anybody Sean and something that I was so disheartened with just don't you think they're going to need our help?
Absolutely and they they have our commitment and help for for sure but we have to make sure that the United States you know 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 it's if you can imagine you know when when Biden took off as the Saudi Arabia fine they decided to stop and now look at what the Houthis have done since that uh since the bombardment stop 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 stop 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 they're at the precipice of attaining nuclear weapons.
Well, 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.
I'm going to be Hey there I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
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 SAS.
You're our kind of people catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen 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 download Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, we continue now.
Congressman Abe Hamidaze 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 you can be successful on both ends of that.
And 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 are able to take out their refineries and nuclear sites, do they have well, they have their CUDS forces, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards forces.
Um 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 I think probably take away their capability of fighting any conflict.
Am I wrong?
No, you're exactly right.
I mean, they've already been so severely weakened with uh with Hezbollah being decapitated and the Hassan Asral, the head of Hezbollah.
I mean, Hezbollah's structure is 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 a sophisticated capabilities, which they shouldn't.
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 we're decapitating the heads of these proxy groups like Hezbollah, like Hamath like the Houthis.
And that would that would at least help whenever a strike, if a strike has to occur, they can't respond uh towards our interests and our allies and our the United States itself.
You know, it really really is uh it's 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.
And I believe Saudi Arabia is on the cusp of signing an Abraham Accords 2.0, and when Saudi Arabia does that, that's gonna change the whole region forever because you're gonna 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 the even even the Arabs themselves against the Iranian threat.
So that's where if you look at the statements from MBS, ahead of Saudi Arabia.
I do think that Pete with President Trump in charge and BB Net and Yahoo in Israel, I do believe another Abraham Accords uh can come to fruition.
Uh 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, uh wow, what a feather in in his cap that would be, and 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.
Uh, we appreciate it.
Abe Hamaday, 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 is stopped as to whether I'd go on the view.
And which is good.
That means that is up to my uh discretion.
I'm not forced to.
I always think Linda stacks these polls.
I think she does push polls uh instead of real polls.
But we've uh 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 I I did watch it briefly, and I got bored with it even quicker.
And um love is blind, I guess is what they call the show.
Anyway, so you you're talking to these people.
I guess it's supposed to be, well, you know, don't focus on people's looks and and see if you have a connection on another side of that, and whether it's deeper than and 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 gonna 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 or whether they're they're scripted or not.
I I have no reason, no evidence that they are.
And I just watched this scene, and this poor guy get humiliated.
If 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 he 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 he really didn't have much to say about it.
I 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 I think it was one of the it was cruel.
I think it was cru assuming it's all real.
I don't think it's cruel at all.
God bless you.
I think he's lucky.
He dodged a bullet.
Can you imagine life with that?
Oh my God.
Yeah, but the problem is if if she even had any feelings at any point, which apparently she did and she had enough feelings, you spent enough time alone with them that if she cared even uh uh slightly about the guy, why wouldn't she say that prior to the wedding and say, you know what?
That girl loves why would you draw 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 just 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 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.
Go for it.
Run forest run.
Oh my god.
Anyway.
Bonnie, oh, 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.
I sent you the results.
Oh, okay.
I gotta see the results.
Oh.
It's a dead even well, you no, you just fixed it because it was just fifty fifty.
Now it's fifty.
Oh my god, it is fifty fifty.
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?
Um 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.
Um, 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 and you know how to like it is.
I don't have that demeanor, because if I were to go on that show show, I'd probably be screaming at them.
But I think you need that's a platform that doesn't hear conservative viewpoint, a sound conservative viewpoint, and I think it would be awesome for you to do that.
Kathy and Marilyn, what do you say?
I see.
That's really not what I think.
Um 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.
Uh well, no, well, I think you need to I think Linda's stacking the deck.
I think Linda does push polls.
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 uh 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 was there and she was trying to get us both to stop, and I'm like, I'm not stopping if uh and 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 old film.
I I mean I I I find this show well, first of all, it would be good for their ratings, and I don't know, they're they're kind of I 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 that's that that is a factor in my mind.
Number two, why don't 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, um I don't know.
I I I if 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.
Um, Bonnie, you are you okay if I don't go?
Oh, yes, yes.
I will still watch and listen.
Um 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 just y'all.
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 at how cute you are.
Thank you.
Well, you're very nice.
But I hear you're like a rabid Republican.
Would you ever say just Republican or is every Republican rabbit in your view?
No, I heard that you were Republican.
Well, do you 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 run.
But not only 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 any time you want to come.
I'd love to come.
I don't have a job.
But you have a very clear.
I think Condoleezza Rice is a strong viable possibility for the get a close up of me, please.
Get a close up on my face.
Are you okay?
That's what I would think of a friend.
Where's the evidence?
There was underwear on the head of one individual.
We're not raping and killing anybody.
I think you're delusional.
I mean, d Bonnie, you still want me to go on that?
Yes.
Yes.
All right, Bonnie and Kathy.
Thank you both.
You're good sports.
Uh 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 Oh boy.
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 'em up when they say something absolutely ridiculous or demeaning.
Um, you know, make them simple.
Like they are said things like false or that's a lie or not true.
Um and 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.
I think um.
I could just say joyless.
I could that would be one of them.
I could say wrong again.
Uh I could say fake news.
I could say, you know, the I 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 st the joint session of Congress.
I think that that's actually a great idea.
Oh man.
I don't please don't talk me into this.
Please.
Um 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, uh, 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 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 what it's sort of like what I mentioned earlier in the program.
Um, and you watch the the radical Democrats.
Hakeem Jeffries goes viral with these comments.
We've got we've got them on the run, meaning Republicans, and I'm I'm looking at this, and I'm like, have who on the run?
What are you talking about?
Um 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 Jeffrey's a paralyzed fear of 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 and what you do every day, we we go into the st whatever store we go into, and everything is there because of one of you guys, a trucker.
Uh 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.
A great idea.
Absolutely.
I think you should get a Tesla, and then you should have it, you know, um, you know, really nicely done with like Trump signs all over it, a giant American flag from 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.
Thank 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 and you've got to be a good idea.
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.
Um 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 uh when the Beavis children were returned in coffins with their mother.
Uh they were held hostage and murdered in 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 uh 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 one word support if org.
One word support IFCJ.org or call toll free.
It's 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ.
And please help our friends in the Holy Land today.
