Podcast appearances and mentions of Bethany Mandel

Bethany Mandel, co-author of the bestselling book Stolen Youth and host of the Mom Wars podcast, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the release and rehabilitation of Israeli hostages who were freed by Hamas after two harrowing years in captivity. Mandel detailed Hamas's cruel refusal to return the bodies of those who were killed and the emotional toll that has taken on the families of the victims. Mandel and Benson also examined growing tensions between Israel and Hamas, including potential ceasefire violations by Hamas, and why Israel maintains its right to self-defense despite signing onto the ceasefire. Finally, Mandel weighed in on the alarming rise of antisemitism in New York City, and the bizarre attempt by local activists to appeal to Jewish voters with an ad featuring a trans rabbi, even as figures like Zohran Mamdani continue to threaten their safety with rhetoric hostile to Jews.

Karol Markowicz, columnist for the New York Post and Fox News, and co-author (with Bethany Mandel) of Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the newly brokered Middle East deal, which she called "a miracle." Markowicz and Guy discussed why many doubted Hamas hostages would ever return home, and she explained why this moment reaffirms her decision to support President Trump and his foreign policy approach. Markowicz also pushed back on the left's attempts to claim credit for his historic peace agreement and highlighted how the "ceasefire now" activists have revealed their true motives.

A passionate advocate for the hostage families, Mandel described the emotional relief for herself and the hostage families following the return of the living hostages. Mandel also highlighted the heroism and sacrifice of the hostages, many of whom saved others before being taken, and pushed back against absurd media narratives claiming Hamas treated hostages better than Gazans, despite the hostages' trauma, abuse, and malnourishment.

Children have been killed and injured while attending mass at their K-8th grade Minneapolis Catholic school. The 23-year-old shooter brought multiple firearms: a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun—all purchased legally and recently. President Trump has ordered flags lowered to half-staff, as did Minnesota's Governor Walz. Now, the FBI director says they are investigating the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and possibly as a hate crime. Retired FBI agent and FOX News contributor Nicole Parker joins the Rundown to share where the investigation into this mass shooting may lead in the days to come as law enforcement searches for answers. A recent Gallup poll indicates that most Americans now believe moderate drinking is harmful to their health, contributing to a steady decline in alcohol consumption in recent years. Board-certified rheumatologist Dr. Mahsa Tehrani joins the podcast to discuss the link between alcohol use and increased cancer risk, the rise of the "sober curious" movement, and how this shifting public sentiment about alcohol consumption may influence upcoming revisions to the federal dietary guidelines.
