SANREMO (ITALPRESS) – «Per me è un onore essere qui con Mira Awad. Ho collaborato con molti artisti palestinesi, ma nessuno è importante e bella come lei», ha dichiarato Noa, ricordando i 25 anni di amicizia che le legano. «Io sono quella più dubbiosa tra noi due. Mi sono chiesta se fosse il momento giusto per questa collaborazione. Ma ogni volta che lo facciamo, capisco che è fondamentale». Le due artiste, Mira palestinese, Noa israeliana,che nel 2009 rappresentarono insieme Israele all'Eurovision, tornano a esibirsi insieme a Sanremo con 'Imagine', portando ancora una volta un messaggio di pace.xg8/mgg/gsl

In this episode, guest host Maggie Smith writes… “I know hope can be a tough sell when there's so much suffering in the world. It's easier to notice what's wrong with the world instead of what's right. But in especially difficult times, we have to look harder for the light. It's there.

In October 2024, Ireland and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) signed an extradition treaty aimed at facilitating the transfer of individuals wanted for serious crimes, notably targeting members of the Kinahan cartel residing in Dubai. This agreement, formalized by Ireland's Justice Minister Helen McEntee and UAE's Minister Abdullah bin Sultan bin Awad al Nuaimi, represents a significant step in international cooperation against organized crime. The treaty's implementation is expected to expedite the extradition process, enabling Irish authorities to bring alleged criminals back to face justice.Recent developments indicate that authorities are intensifying efforts to dismantle the Kinahan cartel's operations.

We kick off by exploring the broader implications of President Trump's ‘drill baby drill' policy and how it could shape GCC economies, from oil markets to capital flows. We then deep dive into the art of deal-making, from knowing when to sell, to navigating high-stakes negotiations, to creating a win-win scenario to uncovering the one thing that kills a deal. Ziad gives us a behind the scenes look into how a deal is made and what can go wrong.

Huko Maban, jimboni Upper Nile, kaskazini mashariki mwa Sudan Kusini, shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia wakimbizi ,UNHCR linajenga vifaa vya kuhifadhi maji pamoja na makinga maji ili kuepusha mashamba dhidi ya mafuriko ya msimu yanayokumba eneo hilo mara kwa mara, eneo ambalo ardhi yake ina rutuba kwa ajili ya kilimo cha mazao ya chakula na biashara. Hapa shambani jimboni Upper Nile nchini Sudan Kusini, wakulima wakiwemo wenyeji na wakimbizi wakiwa shambani wakiimba. Awad Usman mwenyeji wa hapa anasema kuimba kunatuliza fikra zangu. Nyimbo hazisaidii kupanda mazao, lakini zinaweza kupunguza msongo wa mawazo.Msongo wa mawazo unatokana na madhara ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi yaletayo mvua kubwa na mafuriko kwenye mashamba yao.Awad anasema nakumbuka mafuriko ya mwaka 2019, yalisomba kila kitu. Ufuta wote ulisombwa. Mtama pekee ulisalia. Tulikaa ndani ya nyumba kwa siku tano, na tulipotoka tulikuta shamba zima limetwama kwenye maji.Alex Noel Kilong, afisa wa UNHCR anasema mafuriko yanaongeza machungu kwa shida ambazo tayari jamii inakumbana nazo. Mafuriko yanazidi kuongezeka na kusoma barabara, mifugo, mashamba na vituo vya afya hivyo anasema..“Tunahitaji kujenga mbinu za kujipatia kipato. Maban ina fursa kubwa sana, udongo una rutuba, tunatakiwa pia kujenga mapipa ya kuhifadhi maji juu ya ardhi, na maji haya yanaweza kutumiwa wakati wa ukame, ili kilimo kiwe shughuli inayoweza kufanyika mwaka mzima. Kwa njia hiyo tutaweza kupunguza njaa. Tutapunguza ukosefu wa uhakika wa chakula miongoni mwa wenyeji na pia kwa wakimbizi.UNHCR pia imepatia wakulima kama Awad mbegu ya ufuta mweupe, ambayo anasema ni bora na hivyo atakavyovuna , kiasi atauza na nyingine atahifadhi kwa matumizi ya kula nyumbani na pia kama mbegu.

Poet of the Week, November 4–10, 2024. Full text of the poem & interview: brooklynpoets.org/community/poet/ruth-awad
Ralph welcomes back William Hartung of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. They'll discuss the Cost of War Project's latest reports on US military spending in support of Israel, and the humanitarian costs of the war in Gaza. Then, Ralph is joined by Palestinian writer and analyst Sumaya Awad to discuss the mass civil disobedience at the New York Stock Exchange, which was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace to protest the weapons manufacturers that are making millions off the genocide in Gaza.William Hartung is an expert on the arms industry and US military budget, and a Senior Research Fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. He is the author of Prophets of War: Lockheed Martin and the Making of the Military-Industrial Complex, and the co-editor of Lessons from Iraq: Avoiding the Next War.In all my years of watching the operations of Washington—including the Bush/Cheney criminal invasion of Iraq—I have never seen such a servile position by top officials of an administration to a foreign power. Not even close. They are humiliating the United States of America. They are jeopardizing the United States of America—because as you know, the Department of Defense, CIA, NSA have studies and scenarios of blowback. So this war in the Middle East is gonna come back to the US in terms of reprisal and retaliation. And we are not able to anticipate that because we think, as the ruling empire in the world, that we're invulnerable. But we're not invulnerable.Ralph NaderThe Biden administration is living in the past. They've got this “Israel, right or wrong” ideology. They think it's a political detriment to criticize Israel, and the fact that the younger generation is not locked into that point of view. But I think they're going to hurt themselves more by enabling the war crimes that Israel is committing than they would by taking a stand. And of course, they keep trying to say that they're pushing for a ceasefire…But as long as they're doing the weapons and the financing, that is laughable.William HartungIt's just stunning. Given the record of this century—two failed wars, $8 trillion spent, hundreds of thousands killed—and yet they could say with a straight face, “We need a dominant military.” As if that's the tool that's gonna solve any of these problems, rather than make them worse.William HartungSumaya Awad is a Palestinian writer and analyst based in New York City, and she is the spokesperson for Jewish Voice for Peace's mass civil disobedience event at the New York Stock Exchange. Ms. Awad directs strategy and communications for the Adalah Justice Project, and she is a cofounder of the Against Canary Mission Project, which defends student activists targeted by blacklists for their Palestinian rights advocacy. She is the co-author of Palestine and Elections and co-editor of Palestine: A Socialist Introduction.There were over 200 arrests—the majority of them anti-Zionist Jewish New Yorkers, who want to send a clear message both to the US government and the American people that Israel weaponizes their identity in order to justify crimes against humanity and that they are not okay with this. That they refuse for their identity and Jewish people to be weaponized in this way. And that in fact, what Israel is doing and what the US government is funding and politically backing is actively making this country and certainly the rest of the world unsafe not just for Jewish people, but for others.Sumaya AwadWe are strategizing about how to push back against the role of AIPAC and the grip of AIPAC. I think the reality is that there are many people in Congress that are actually benefiting financially from what is happening in Gaza. We know that at least 50 members of Congress have links to the military-industrial complex—whether that's through stocks or other things. And so it's about unraveling this network, these connections between our government, the way it's profiting from the genocide and then what that means in terms of these elections across the country.Sumaya AwadIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 10/16/241. The Israeli government is finally dropping the facade that the genocide in Gaza is about ‘returning the hostages.' Haaretz reports “According to senior defense officials, the Israeli government is not seeking to revive hostage talks and the political leadership is pushing for the gradual annexation of large parts of the Gaza Strip.” Not only that, apparently “Israel's political leaders have not held any discussions with the various security branches about the condition of the hostages.” In other words, Israel clearly does not care about the hostages at all and are simply using them as political props to prolong their campaign of terror. In addition, the AP reports “Netanyahu is examining a plan to seal off humanitarian aid to northern Gaza,” and if Palestinians are unable or unwilling to leave their homes, they “would be considered combatants — meaning military regulations would allow troops to kill them.” Last weekend, Israel launched an offensive against the Jabaliya refugee camp, resulting in gruesome footage of Palestinians burnt alive while still connected to IV tubes in field hospital tents.2. Responding to a report by NBC, the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), is sounding the alarm that “US officials have discussed joining Israel in offensive strikes against Iran, and passing them off as ‘defensive' after the fact.” As Just Foreign Policy notes, this would not only violate the War Powers Resolution, but “Unnamed US officials” are seeking to circumvent the debate and Congressional vote required for such an act under the Constitution. Now the question becomes whether the American empire will allow itself to be drawn into a rapidly escalating regional war based on Israel's aggression.3. On October 10th, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported “This morning, two peacekeepers were injured after an IDF Merkava tank fired its weapon toward an observation tower at UNIFIL's headquarters in Naqoura, directly hitting it and causing them to fall. The injuries are fortunately, this time, not serious, but they remain in hospital.” Beyond this attack, UNIFIL also reports that the IDF fired on the UN positions in Labbouneh and Ras Naqoura, ending by writing “Any deliberate attack on peacekeepers is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Security Council resolution 1701.”4. On October 8th, Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal released a statement decrying the lack of action by the organs of U.S. foreign policy regarding the killing of American citizen Aysenur Eygi in the West Bank. Jayapal writes “It has been 32 days…and we have seen no movement toward an independent investigation by the U.S. government and no additional information on changes in the practices of the…IDF…units that are using live ammunition on those who are peacefully protesting…I am frankly appalled…If the Israeli government is unwilling or unable to follow our own domestic laws as well as international humanitarian laws…we must initiate our own investigation into Eygi's killing.”5. In the UK, Jeremy Corbyn and the parliamentary Independent Alliance have sent a letter to Foreign Secretary David Lammy expressing their “disgust over the government's complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our lifetime.” This letter goes on to explain how “the government could have...opposed the genocide in Gaza. It could have ended military, economic and diplomatic support...[and] defended the equal application of international law. Instead, the failure to bring Israel to justice emboldened it to kill thousands of people in Lebanon and now, wage war on the UN.” The letter then asks a series of questions to the British government, including “what red lines, if any, does Israel have to cross for the government to end its diplomatic and political support?” and “does the UK government oppose genocide?”6. In a humiliation for Elon Musk, Forbes reports that Tesla stock slid by nearly $70 billion following the “sour” reaction to the company's unveiling of their absurd new products including a “robotaxi” and “Optimus” humanoid robots. In fact, disappointment in Tesla's “cybercab” was so acute that Uber shares spiked by 11% and Lyft's by 10%. Another story signaling that Tesla is vastly overvalued comes from the Orange County Register, which reports the Irvine Police Department spent over $150,000 on the first ever police Cybertruck. What is the department planning to use this eye-wateringly expensive boondoggle for? According to this report “the department does not plan to use the truck for patrols. The Cybertruck will…principally be driven by DARE officers to schools.”7. According to USA Today, “A study from the University of California Berkeley's Institute for Research on Labor and Employment found that a California state law [which] raised the minimum wage for fast food workers did not lead to large job loses or price hikes.” The law in question, AB 1228 established a “$20 per hour minimum wage for those working at fast food restaurants with less than 60 locations nationwide and restaurants located inside airports, stadiums and convention centers. The law further gave employees stronger protections and the ability to bargain as a sector.” The study found that this law effectively raised average pay of these non-managerial employees by almost 18%, a truly remarkable margin, while prices went up only about 15 cents per $4 item. Hopefully this study will finally put an end to the old canard that raising wages for fast food workers leads to widespread job loss and price increases.8. A depressing story from NPR exposes the US Department of Agriculture's “Wildlife Services” program, described as “a holdover from the 1930s, when Congress gave the federal government broad authority to kill wildlife at the request of private landowners….So long as livestock or human life are threatened.” Employees of this program continue to kill “hundreds of thousands of noninvasive animals a year…Even species considered [endangered]…like grizzly bears.” Yet even within the broad mandate of this program, data shows “employees frequently kill native wild animals without evidence of livestock loss,” including 11,000 in Montana. The USDA and the Bureau of Land Management now face increasing calls to overhaul this outdated program.9. Politiken, a prominent Danish newspaper, reports local harbormaster John Anker Nielsen encountered US Navy vessels at the scene of the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage operation in 2022, per Al Mayadeen. Nielsen, the harbormaster of Christianso, told Politiken that in the days after the explosion he tried to initiate a rescue mission “after noticing ships with their transponders turned off and presuming an emergency.” Yet once they drew near, they discovered the vessels to be US Navy warships. According to Nielsen, “the Naval Command then instructed…[him] to turn back.” This report conforms to the narrative of the Nord Stream sabotage as presented by legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh and directly contradicts the narrative put forward by the U.S. government.10. Finally, on October 11th the Democratic National Committee released what it claims is “its first-ever ad focused on third-party candidates,” per DNC Chair Jamie Harrison. The ad features Green Party nominee Jill Stein grotesquely morphing into Donald Trump with dialogue arguing that “a vote for Stein is really a vote for Trump.” As many have remarked, the DNC feeling the need to disseminate such an ad is an ill omen for their chances in the coming election, particularly in Michigan where recent polling shows Stein drawing 40% of Muslim voters, compared to 18% for Trump and just 12% for Kamala Harris, per Reuters. Of course, the DNC could instead direct their efforts to improving their standing with Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan – as well as young progressives throughout the country – by taking a stand against the ongoing genocide in Palestine, but then that isn't really their style.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

In this episode of FinTech Confidential, Tedd Huff and Colton Pond chat with Jonathan Awad, co-founder and CEO of Baselayer. They cover some pretty interesting topics around identity verification and fraud prevention for businesses, especially small and medium-sized ones. The conversation is packed with useful insights into how financial institutions are dealing with these challenges, and how new tech is changing the game for everyone involved.The main focus of the discussion is about making business identity verification smoother and faster. Financial institutions are constantly trying to figure out how to trust the businesses they work with. Traditionally, this process has been slow, complicated, and full of risks. Nowadays, technology helps solve these problems by verifying business identities in real-time. The result is a more secure onboarding process, which cuts down on fraud and makes it easier for businesses to prove who they are.What's really cool is that it doesn't stop at just checking identities. Companies now have tools that can keep an eye on businesses long after they've been verified. Instead of just doing a one-time check, financial institutions get real-time updates if something about a business changes. So if a new risk pops up or fraud becomes more likely, they're alerted immediately. This continuous monitoring is a big win for risk management, helping financial institutions stay ahead of any potential issues.Another important takeaway from the episode is how AI is used. There's a lot of talk about AI in the world of fintech, but the key here is that it's not about the technology itself—it's about what it can do. AI makes fraud detection faster and more reliable, but what really matters is that it helps solve problems in a practical way. The conversation makes it clear that financial institutions are less interested in how fancy the tech is and more interested in whether it works efficiently. And it does—by preventing fraud and helping businesses stay compliant with regulations.The episode also touches on what it takes to secure funding and build a successful fintech company. There's a lot of emphasis on having a strong team and a clear vision. Investors want to see that the company can actually deliver results, and that the team behind it knows what they're doing. This is especially important in fintech, where the stakes are high and customers expect things to work flawlessly. It's not enough to just have a good idea—you need to prove that it can succeed in the real world.One of the more eye-opening parts of the episode is about the future of managing identities. The idea of controlling your identity through apps is something that could make things a lot easier for everyone, from individuals to large companies. While it's still in the early stages, the potential is clear. If done right, it could make identity verification quicker and more secure, leading to better financial access for more people.Toward the end, they discuss some up-and-coming companies that are also making waves in fintech. There's mention of Not K, Solo, and LoanPro—companies that are tackling big problems like fraud prevention and business lending. These are the types of companies that could really change how the financial industry operates in the future.All in all, this episode is filled with useful information for anyone interested in fintech or business risk management.

https://youtu.be/ut5X-x3aRzg Hello! I'm Heather Awad, MD. I'm a family doctor who coaches professional women to lose weight for the last time. Over the years, I noticed my weight creeping up with each baby we added to our family. In my 40s, the number on scale just continued to climb. So I ate less and exercised more, which made me hungry and miserable, and I didn't lose weight. I then moved to yo-yo dieting, and I think we all know how well that works. Any of this sound familiar? I'm a Midwesterner, but I have also lived on both coasts. I was born in Michigan, went to medical school at the University of Minnesota, and did my Family Medicine residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, St. Margaret's Hospital. My 2021 weight loss journey was my last. I have zero fear about regaining the weight. You know what the most common thing professional women say at the end of my program? “I'm so relieved.” You can embark on your last weight loss journey too.

Welcome to the AlzAuthors podcast, where we explore the power of collaboration and unity within the dementia community. In this episode, we're joined by Gina Awad from the U.K, who has channeled her passion for dementia care into valuable insights for caregivers. Her journey began at a young age, witnessing the impact of dementia on individuals in care homes, which fueled her dedication to the cause. Her background in health and social care, combined with her personal experiences, has led her to author the illustrated book "United: Caring for Our Loved Ones with Dementia," providing caregivers with practical strategies and emotional support. We discuss the challenges of competition in the field of dementia support, emphasizing the importance of working together to benefit those living with dementia and their families. We also delve into the collaborative process behind the creation of "United." Gina and her illustrator, the late Tony Husband, decided to join forces during COVID-19 lockdown to make a difference for people with dementia and their caregivers. Throughout the episode, we explore the significance of involving individuals directly impacted by dementia in conversations and initiatives, as emphasized by the phrase "Not about us without us." Gina shares a powerful story about a man with dementia trying to withdraw money from a bank, which led to an opportunity for her to educate bank staff about dementia and share the story in a local paper. We also talk about the rich support groups available for care partners and those living with dementia, as well as the Reading Well initiative, which released a list of 20 books, including contributions from authors living with dementia, to be available in public libraries across England and Wales. Join us as we explore the importance of collaboration, unity, and the sharing of experiences within the dementia community through Gina Awad's work and insights.

Special Guest June Hillman shares the legacy of Castle Rock Farm, her partnership with Thoroughbred aftercare organization Turning for Home, and so much more in this episode!June is no stranger to Thoroughbreds - she is part of their entire lifecycle, from conception to foal, racehorse to OTTB restart. She has been the manager of Castle Rock Farm in West Chester, PA since 1995 and has handled TB stallions such as Patton, Harry the Hat, Partner's Hero, Power by Far, Awad, Alyten, and Rimrod. The farm breeds and raises about 10-15 baby racehorses each year nowadays, and June handles them from the moment they are born, helping to shape them into what she affectionately calls "Good Citizens." This is especially helpful when they return after their racing careers and June transitions them into their new homes as sporthorses.She is also partnered with Turning for Home, a racehorse retirement program based out of Pennsylvania's Parx Racetrack. Through TFH, June rehabilitates, retrains, and rehomes many OTTBs each year. She prides herself in taking the time to learn about each horse as an individual, and carefully place them in appropriate homes.In this episode, we also talk about how no horse is perfect, and often those with blemishes, old injuries, or the need for a little maintenance gets them passed over by potential new homes. We highlight a current OTTB that June is retraining, "Angel" or Angeli Blu, a 2019 bay TB gelding by Air Force Blue (War Front/Danzig) out of the Irish TB Cabin (Galileo/Sadler's Wells). Angel is the type of horse that you just want to ride every day!June can be contacted through her Facebook page, where she also posts her horses for sale. You can find about Angel in his ad here.

Ivy Supersonic - Jeans and Justice5 hours agoIvy Supersonic is a New York City fashion designer, self-promoter, event planner, and animated character designer. She is the daughter of Jerome Silberstein, founder of Silberstein, Awad & Miklos.She also paints under her birth name.As her hat made headlines across the globe, Supersonic was diligently crafting the idea for which she thought she'd be remembered: an animated half-squirrel, half-rat character called Sqrat.If that name brings back memories of the lovable, acorn-obsessed rodent from the "Ice Age" franchise, you're not alone. One key difference: In the movies, it's spelled "Scrat," with a C.Supersonic knows all about that Scrat. She's spent more than 20 years trying to prove the makers of the "Ice Age" movies stole the idea for the character from her.Since the early 2000s, Supersonic, 54, has battled in court and held attention-grabbing protests to prove she came up with one of the most recognizable animated characters of the past two decades. In 2020, it appeared she'd finally won when the studio behind "Ice Age" dropped its challenge to the trademark for "Sqrat" with a Q — which meant she had the exclusive right to sell merchandise with the Sqrat branding.Now, Disney+ is set to release "Ice Age: Scrat Tales," a series starring the character — but Supersonic said she wasn't seeing a dime of the profits. She's heading back to court once again to fight for her dream.She tells Ed Opperman about her experiences, good and bad in fashion.

In this episode, David interviews Sami Awad: Palestinian peace and nonviolent activist and founder of Holy Land Trust in Bethlehem; and Leor Roseman, Ph.D.: Israeli neuroscientist, researcher, and senior lecturer at the University of Exeter. They talk about Roseman's 2021 paper, "Relational Processes in Ayahuasca Groups of Palestinians and Israelis," which looked at what happened when people with fiercely different opinions moved beyond fear, anger, and othering, and sat together in a safe container and drank ayahuasca with the purpose of healing collective trauma. When the focus of the participants moved toward understanding each other, Roseman and Awad saw a unity that gave them a lot of hope, leading to the creation of their nonprofit, RIPPLES, which is focused on using psychedelics for peacebuilding – first in the Middle East, and hopefully soon, everywhere. As Awad says, "If it can happen here, it can happen almost anywhere." They discuss: The efficacy of psychedelics as a tool for nonviolent activism, building peace, and recognizing – and healing – collective trauma The balance between the idealistic and the practical, or 'the irony of harmony' – if you focus too much on the connectivity of psychedelics, do you actually exclude voices? The concept of "my liberation depends on your healing and your liberation depends on mine" The challenge in doing something with the hope and enthusiasm that comes after a powerful experience: How do you make sure that wave of hope continues rippling through choppy waters?

Rachel Awad is an American university administrator who is living in Egypt, and has been living in the Middle East for over 30 years. She has been overweight for most of her life. In 2008 Rachel (who is only 5'3”) reached her all-time highest weight of close to 300lbs. She managed to lose about 40 lbs with a popular commercial weight loss program (about calorie restriction). She eventually started regaining the weight she lost. When she was close to her starting weight again, Rachel learned about Intermittent Fasting and Michael Moseley's 5:2 plan. This was in 2014. She followed that for a few years, and was successful in losing weight. In 2017, after reading Jason Fung's The Obesity Code and Gin Stephen's book Delay, Don't Deny, she moved to a daily intermittent fasting approach and most importantly, to clean fasting. Rachel became a huge proponent of IF, guiding many friends to explore fasting, and becoming a moderator on some very large IF groups on FB. This is where she first met Graeme, and then read “The Fasting Highway” about his own IF journey. She has been an active member of The Fasting Highway FB group since its early days. This is the 3rd time that Rachel has been a guest on the TFH podcast, previously in Episodes 6 and 152. She discusses her own journey with IF, how ADF can be a very helpful tool when used correctly and for the right reasons, and the importance of knowing what's in your IF toolbox.

It's no secret weight gain in perimenopause – or menopause transition and post menopause – is different. It doesn't respond the way you would have predicted it should. It doesn't come on at the same rate or in the same place as you think it should. My guest today is an MD and yet she's first a woman who also entered midlife and experienced much of the same you may have. She also defaulted to many of the same tactics a woman with a heartbeat would. So this episode is just a simply basic discussion about what happens, and why and what to do about it and why your default effort may fall short.

This week on the Mark Levin show, for the pro-Hamas American media, not all civilians are alike. The Sunday show hosts expressed their displeasure with Israel defending itself, insisting that Israel is not doing enough and must do more to protect civilians. We are plagued with a poisonous Israel-hating, in many respects Jew-hating, Hamas-loving media. Governor Newsom CANCELS Christmas tree lighting ceremony after threats of disruption by pro-Palestinian activists. The Democrat Party is not your typical political party - it's a wrecking ball. They are an alien force in a free country that seeks to destroy our history, our constitution, the economic system, and the educational system. In order to advance their cause they have to lie, all autocrats have to lie and they have to change the language. Ron DeSantis won the last Republican Presidential debate, with Chris Christie and Nikki Haley in last place. Haley is a liberal, not even a RINO. Chris Christie is a hot head who gets very angry very fast, and he's lecturing and yelling at the debate. Christie's not going to be the nominee of the party - he won't even come close. Also, Nihad Awad helped set up CAIR, which is a front group for Hamas. CAIR is part of the Democrat party and Awad celebrated what happened on October 7th and is applauded by American Muslims for Palestine. He's celebrating the rape and murder of girls.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Ron DeSantis won the last Republican Presidential debate, with Chris Christie and Nikki Haley in last place. Haley is a liberal, not even a RINO. Chris Christie is a hot head who gets very angry very fast, and he's lecturing and yelling at the debate. Christie's not going to be the nominee of the party - he won't even come close. He's running for president of New Hampshire. Donald Trump's decision not to go to the debate was brilliant, why lower yourself to Christie? Also, Nihad Awad helped set up CAIR, which is a front group for Hamas. CAIR is part of the Democrat party and Awad celebrated what happened on October 7th and is applauded by American Muslims for Palestine. He's celebrating the rape and murder of girls. When he's with people who share his ideology, his true colors come out. This is what's happened to America, people like Awad exploit our freedom. Later, UPenn President Liz Magill walks back her comments during a House hearing on antisemitism on college campuses. UPenn is a disgraceful institution. It's not free speech to intimidate people based on their religion – that's not free speech. It's not free speech for a mob carrying signs or flags with swastikas on them and surrounding a Jewish student. This is what's going on, on college campuses. Sen Bernie Sanders hates both America and the state of Israel. He has spent his life undermining and attacking American civil society, culture, history, the Constitution, and market capitalism, all of which must be destroyed if his ideology is to prevail. He trashes any Israeli government that does not capitulate to the demands of the Palestinian terrorists, the U.S. State Department, and the likes of New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. And like them, he insists that Israel carve itself up into indefensible pieces and gift their ancestral homeland to groups and people who want to slaughter them. He has been a voice for some of the most dangerous and radical reprobates in the Middle East and around the world. In other words, Sanders is the Rashida Tlaib of the Senate, and he is a favorite among the most left-wing, antisemitic organizations in our country. Afterward, Sean Hannity calls in with breaking news about Huner Biden and his new movie, Jingle Smells. Finally, Rep Claudia Tenney calls in to introduce the R Learn more about your ad choices.
