Because of the war in the Middle East, we thought it would be a good idea to devote today's podcast to Israel, focusing on the radio addresses written by Ronald Reagan before entering the Oval Office. So remember, he wrote these, on a yellow pad, without the oversight of a foreign policy advisor, without a secretary of defense or secretary of state or national security advisor hanging over his shoulder. These, from the late 70's, came from his own pen. One entitled Palestine and the other Brezhnev. Overall, the politics of the Middle East was not the subject of many radio broadcasts in the late 70's. Of course, as soon as he became President, Ronald Reagan met with Prime Minister Menachem Begin early in his administration and clearly defined America's role and his objective focusing on peace.

On this Tuesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid makes the argument that President Joe Biden and his administration are complicit when it comes to the war in the Middle East. No self-respecting American can look at the job President Biden is doing regarding the war and say that he totally and completely stands with the Jewish state of Israel, and that is more than enough of an argument as to why he is the wrong guy to have in that Oval Office. In other news of the day, New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks pays a visit to Hillcrest High School to address the antisemitic controversy surrounding the school, and we're in a generous mood this morning as it is officially "Giving Tuesday" around the country and world.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on Thanksgiving Day. The media in America is destructive, inhumane, utterly immoral, and has no conscience as a group whatsoever, and they are tearing this country apart through their lies and projection. Donald Trump has been the greatest friend Israel and the Jewish people have ever had in the Oval Office, and the only president to have a Jewish family, but to people who don't like him, he is Hitler. Democrat media outlets like Media Matters and people like Joe Scarborough make a mockery of the Holocaust by calling their political opponents Hitler as they do to Donald Trump, while they repeat Hamas propaganda to attack Israel. This is what the media from totalitarian regimes do; they turn people like Trump into the devil so that no matter what they do or say, we are supposed to believe they are the enemy. Afterward, it is radical Democrat judges and prosecutors who are destroying the judicial system, because the Democrat strategy since Woodrow Wilson has been to force your will on the public through the judiciary. This is exactly what is happening in Washington D.C. and Manhattan with the cases against Donald Trump, which should have been thrown out. We have a case in Manhattan with an intellectually inept judge and a Marxist prosecutor along with a radical clerk whispering in the ear of the judge. This has been a case of Letitia James cherry-picking information to accuse Trump of fraud or misconduct, all with the help of a radical Democrat judge allowing it. This is a grotesque undermining of the campaign and interfering in the 2024 election, evisceration of constitutional norms, and hack Democrat judges like the ones in Washington D.C. and New York. Later, the Biden administration is literally getting away with murder in Israel, Ukraine, and the American southern border. What is happening on our southern border is a disgrace to both American citizens and migrants, but most of the media is blind to the situation and refuses to report it. It is an impeachable offense and a high crime to not abide by our nation's immigration policy, because the president does not have the authority to ignore it and allow our borders to be wide open whether the media likes it or not.

Hour 1 -  Good Tuesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: On Monday, President Biden had a scheduled event to pardon turkeys. However, during the event, there were instances of mumbling and confusion. Suddenly, he abruptly left the event and hurriedly jogged away. He failed to even acknowledge or salute the marines that he ran by. The nation's oldest president ever just extended his lead, as President Biden celebrated his 81st birthday on Monday. While the White House continues to dismiss concerns about Biden's age and fitness for the Oval Office, conservatives celebrated the day by looking back at the president's gaffes and mishaps that demonstrate an alleged decline due to advanced age. Can you imagine If former President Donald Trump rolled out the red carpet for Russian President Putin the way Dems did for Chinese communist dictator Xi? The video was released of the moment that Ashli Babbitt was shot at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Live from STUDIO G- in the heart of America- I'm STEVE GRUBER- saying the things you wish you could -every day-  fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom and defending this great nation-- this is THE STEVE GRUBER SHOW!   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— Bidenomics continues to hit people very hard—I will have some numbers for you that will show just how much more we are paying now—compared to where we were just 3 years ago—   Number Two— In New York State a sea change—an overwhelming number of Democrats are rejecting the open border and sanctuary cities—that are triggering a disaster for illegals— and the people that live there—   Number Three— As you know Joe Biden celebrated his 81st birthday on Monday—he is by far the oldest person to ever sit in the Oval Office—and by many measures the least competent—and the American people are over it—   The doddering old fool has worn out his welcome—and no there is no ‘all kidding aside' moment here—people are really sick of Joe Biden—and millions of Americans that voted for him in 2020 honestly regret that they ever did that—they are shell shocked at just how bad Joe Biden has been as President—and how divisive—and how far left he went—that did anything to unite the country—in fact with every bad move, blunder and bluster and hubris the nation soured on him—   It was slow at first BUT the rejection of Joe Biden and his reckless policies on the economy, the border, energy and foreign relations—has been picking up speed for several months now—   And on his 81st birthday he stepped to the microphone in an attempt to make a few comments—and a few years ago that might have gone alright—BUT lets be honest here—has any one of us seen Joe Biden make it through an event—any event without losing his place, mumbling and falling over his words?   NO-- in fact what is really sad is that we have all come to expect Joe to blurt out gibberish, to ramble incoherently and of course to tell some stories that have been debunked and proven false too many times to remember—you know like the tall tale of him planning to attend the Naval Academy to play football—of which there is no proof—and that is one of the fanciful bogus yarns he spun again yesterday for the crowd—   But there is an almost certainty—even when Joe is telling these false stories that he is going to stumble and fall over his tongue—   And its not just his tongue—Joe sometimes actually falls flat on his ass… on stairs… from bikes that aren't moving and on graduation stages—he's just not there anymore—   And look, every HONEST person knows that Joe Biden is not capable of being President of the local garden club—let alone the United States—sure some faithful keep saying he is doing a great job—BUT they are lying—Joe is barely keeping his balance— But despite his obvious failures—Joe is ready to drop a lame joke just about anytime—AND that usually fails too—    But on Monday we learned even more about Joe's declining health—according to reports in Politico—a far left political rag that usually is hammering on Donald Trump—well insiders are telling Politico that those on Bidens team want him walking much shorter distances when cameras are around—and they want him to change to different shoes—to help prevent accidental falls—   Yes, this is how bad it is—use the short stairs on Air Force One—don't walk too long in front of the press—and put on different shoes—if I was a conspiracy guy, I might suggest Joe suggest, this leads me to believe Joey has been falling when nobody but his staff, handlers and Secret Service have seen it—they know how frail he is—BUT they want to keep that off the front page and not be the lead story on all the networks—they are trying to limp him through another campaign—BUT this time, he cannot hide in his Delaware basement the whole time—there is no pandemic to bail you out this time around—he will actually have to campaign for the job—on the road and around the country—and that's tough on people half his age—   And as we have been covering extensively over the past few weeks—all of this—and the political divide of the Democrat Party over the war in Gaza have all driven Joe Bidens polling numbers to record lows—   Ok, that was edited at the end—BUT it might as well be what she does—I mean lets be honest about this one too—Karine is awful at her job—in fact she is the worst Press Secretary of the modern era—she offers vapid answers, or no answer at all—and is more often saying she has nothing to say than to actually field and handle a tough question from an ever more agitated Washington Press pool—   But as we mark Joe Bidens birthday—it reminds Americans—and our allies and our enemies just how old and out of touch this guy really is—   Which reminds me—that if you are explaining—you are losing! Well, there is a whole lot of explaining going on—desperately trying to tell you everything Joe Biden has accomplished and how much he has done—BUT fewer and fewer people are buying into it—    But they keep trying—   And every day that Israel continues to root out, hunt down and kill Hamas terrorists—is another day that the fracture of the far left Democrats from the rest of the party makes the problems for Joe Biden more acute—  So when members of your own party—and people that voted for you are calling you Genocide Joe—where do you go from there???   Well, the smart thing would be to pack it in—because that's not all the Democrats are fighting about—which brings me back around to Joe turning 81—    Oh, and did I mention—Donald Trump released his complete medical report on Joe's birthday yesterday—and he is getting high marks for losing weight and eating better among other things—making the point—is in far better shape to be President than that doddering old fool Joe Biden—

**After a two month hiatus, Deep Dive returns next week (Sunday, Nov 26th) with a slew of new episodes with exciting, entertaining, and interesting guests.  In the meantime, in light of the recent polling suggesting that voters may return Donald Trump to the White House in next year's presidential election, check out this Greatest Hit of Deep Dive, in advance of the 2022 midterm election, when the landscape also looked dire for Democrats.**-----What if the game of American politics is structurally rigged? Dr. David Faris, author of 'It's Time to Fight Dirty: How Democrats Can Build a Lasting Majority in American Politics', steps onto the stage in this episode to reveal the striking institutional disadvantages within our democracy. We dissect how Republicans have leveraged these disparities to gain power, and we question the true value of bipartisanship. David lays out a feasible roadmap for Democrats to counteract these imbalances, even if tactics seem a bit unorthodox.Our dialogue doesn't stop there. We examine the distressing trend of presidents securing their seat in the Oval Office without the popular vote, and the impact this has had on the perceived legitimacy of our political system. By peeling back the layers of our Constitution, we attempt to understand how its outdated mechanisms have allowed such outcomes. Despite the evident structural deficits in the House and Senate, we discuss potential solutions such as the Fair Representation Act and the bold move of statehood for DC and Puerto Rico. We wrap up our deep dive with an innovative exploration of political relocation, discussing the implications of planned mass migration of liberal voters to conservative states. Would flipping North and South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming really make a difference? As we navigate these thought-provoking avenues, we also touch on the potential overturning of Roe v Wade, the influence of language within politics, and the potential of a central coordinating mechanism to shift the balance of Senate seats. This conversation challenges conventional thought and presents new perspectives on the dynamics of American politics. Be sure not to miss it.Recommended:It's Time to Fight Dirty: How Democrats Can Build a Lasting Majority in American Politics - David Faris-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:InstagramPost.newsYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com **Artwork: Dovi Design **Music: Joystock

This week on the Mark Levin show, the Nazis benefited from propaganda in America back then and now the Hamas Nazis benefit. Also, for Biden, the Democrats, and the media Israel is not allowed to win. On and after October 7th Biden showed great sympathy for the Jewish people. But when the Jews got their standing and started wiping out the enemy then the Jews were portrayed as the victimizers, not the victims. Donald Trump has been the greatest friend Israel and the Jewish people have ever had in the Oval Office, and the only president to have a Jewish family, but to people who don't like him, he is Hitler. It is radical Democrat judges and prosecutors who are destroying the judicial system, because the Democrat strategy since Woodrow Wilson has been to force your will on the public through the judiciary. The Democrat party owns the college professors, the school systems, and the union that runs the schools, and they embrace this bigoted anti-Semitism we are seeing in our streets today.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, over 290,000 people were at the National Mall in Washington D.C. today to protest against anti-Semitism, support Israel, and raise support for hostages taken by Hamas, and it was 100% peaceful. Mark speaks with a victim of Hamas, Yarden, who has multiple family members being held hostage and has also had family killed by Hamas. Also, the media in America is destructive, inhumane, utterly immoral, and has no conscience as a group whatsoever, and they are tearing this country apart through their lies and projection.

This is what the media from totalitarian regimes do; they turn people like Trump into the devil so that no matter what they do or say, we are supposed to believe they are the enemy. Meanwhile, 32 Americans have been killed by Iran and the Biden State Department is acting like it never happened. Instead, Biden and Antony Blinken have waived sanctions on Iran again and are giving them more money to re-arm themselves and its surrogate terrorists, while at the same time telling Israel to slow down their attack on Hamas. The Democrat party today is the Democrat party of FDR, who turned a blind eye to the Holocaust, although at least FDR didn't directly fund Germany while they attacked Europe like how Biden is funding Iran while they attack Israel and American troops. Later, Mark is joined by Fox News host and author Gregg Jarrett to discuss his new book, The Constitution of the United States and Other Patriotic Documents.  https://www.amazon.com/Constitution-United-States-Patriotic-Documents/dp/0063275384/ref=sr_1_1?crid=19PABSAZZDW3C&keywords=gregg+jarrett&qid=1699987682&sprefix=gregg+jarrett%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-1 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (11/13/2023): 3:05pm- While appearing on The Rich Zeoli Show last week, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said of the Obama Administration assisting Iranian nuclear development and subsequently endangering Israel: “Barack Obama has been a villain in this whole thing” and, despite knowing the former president since he was a student in law school, “my relationship with him is over.” Now more public figures are agreeing with Professor Dershowitz' assessment—even Bill Maher is openly criticizing former president Obama for his foreign policy in the Middle East and recent, controversial, statements he made suggesting there was a moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel. 3:15pm- A local news report from Fox 2 in San Francisco notes that city officials miraculously cleared the streets of homeless encampments and public drug use ahead of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit (APEC)—which is expected to result in many notable world leaders gathering in San Francisco for the week-long meeting. Local citizens are now wondering: why did it take the arrival of Joe Biden and Xi Jinping for local government to clean up this dangerous mess? 3:20pm- On Monday, Donald Trump Jr. took the witness stand in a civil fraud trial in which New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that former president Donald Trump inflated the value of assets controlled by the Trump Organization in financial statements. While leaving the courtroom, Don Jr. said he hopes New Yorkers realize how “destructive” these types of suites are for the city. If Donald Trump loses the case, he could be fined up to $250 million and be prohibited from doing business in New York moving forward. Notably, in 2018, while campaigning to become Attorney General, James vowed to “sue” Trump—providing evidence to the defense's argument that this civil suit is entirely political. 3:40pm- Brian Morris—Attorney at the Institute for Justice—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a disturbing allegation that the state of New Jersey is storing newborn baby DNA. Emma Camp of Reason writes: “In every U.S. state, healthcare workers perform blood tests on newborn infants to check for a range of genetic disorders. However, in New Jersey, the state Department of Health stores infants' blood for up to 23 years without informing parents or seeking their consent. In addition to merely keeping the blood, New Jersey reserves the right to do whatever it wishes with the leftover blood, including selling it or handing it over to the police without a warrant.” These allegations are according to a new lawsuit brought by the Institute for Justice.

At one point, Ramaswamy called out moderator—and host of Meet the Press—Kristen Welker for pushing the disproven narrative that Donald Trump's 2016 presidential election victory was courtesy of Russian interference. In response to the criticisms, McDaniel mocked Ramaswamy for polling at 4%. 4:40pm- Steve Feldman—Executive Director of the Zionist Organization of America's Greater Philadelphia Chapter—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a disturbing boycott of local Jewish-owned businesses throughout the Philadelphia area. Feldman is countering the boycott with a BUYcott. The Zionist Organization of America is holding its Justice Louis Brandeis Award Dinner on December 3rd, 2023.

Local citizens are now wondering: why did it take the arrival of Joe Biden and Xi Jinping for local government to clean up this dangerous mess? Governor Gavin Newsom told reporters: “I know folks are saying, ‘oh they are just cleaning up this place because all those fancy leaders are coming to town' and that's true… because it's true. 5:10pm- While speaking with Shannon Bream on Fox News, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley claimed she is “surging” while rivals Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis have “flatlined.” However, RealClearPolitics polling averages indicate all three candidates rising in the polls as other candidates drop out of the race.   5:20pm- While appearing on Fox News with Trey Gowdy on Sunday night, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) announced he is suspending his presidential campaign. According to RealClearPolitics averages, Sen. Scott was polling at 2.5% prior to dropping out of the race. 5:40pm- Dr. EJ Antoni—Economist & Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss how inflation continues to punish Americans despite the Biden Administration raving about the inflation rate slowing in recent quarters. As Dr. Antoni notes, just because the inflation rate has slowed from its record peaks doesn't mean it isn't still a problem. The U.S. annual inflation rate of 3.7% remains well above the Federal Reserve's targeted 2% rate. 6:05pm- Mark Houck joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his lawsuit against the Biden Administration's Department of Justice. Houck is a pro-life father who was wrongfully charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act after protesting outside of an abortion clinic—and he was arrested at his home during an FBI raid that consisted of nearly two-dozen heavily armed agents. The egregious, authoritarian-style arrest understandably left his wife and children horrified. A Pennsylvania jury ultimately found Houck not guilty. Houck is now seeking $1.1 million for malicious prosecution, false arrest, and retaliatory prosecution. Houck is also running for U.S. Congress. You can learn more about his campaign here: https://www.houckforcongress.com 6:20pm- Brittany Bernstein of National Review writes: “The House Oversight Committee and House Judiciary Committee are demanding that director of Oval Office operations Annie Tomasini, Jill Biden adviser Anthony Bernal, chief of staff aide Katherine Reilly, and special assistant Ashley Williams meet with the committees to discuss President Biden's alleged mishandling of classified documents and any role he may have in his family's foreign business dealings… The subpoenas are the latest step in House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into President Biden.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/house-republicans-subpoena-biden-aides-to-testify-about-classified-docs-biden-family-business-dealings/ 6:35pm- While appearing on Fox News with Trey Gowdy on Sunday night, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) announced he is suspending his presidential campaign. According to RealClearPolitics averages, Sen. Scott was polling at 2.5% prior to dropping out of the race.

The overarching thesis of Doherty's work in Fundraiser in Chief is examining the intersection between campaigning and governing, especially when it comes to the president him(her)self. Doherty's chief claim in the book is that presidential fundraising, which is usually studied and explored in direct connection with presidential campaigns, should be more fully integrated into the other dynamics and components of how a president governs and uses his/her time. In an effort to examine the time spent fundraising, not just at public events, but also in private venues and closed events, Doherty compiled an extensive data set that includes information for every president from Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump. (Doherty has continued to add to the data set to include President Joe Biden, but the research analyzed in the book concludes with the 2020 election cycle and Donald Trump's presidency.) This is a fascinating examination of fundraising, particularly as the laws and regulations have continued to change and shift over the decades. As Doherty notes, every time there is a shift, presidents pursue different options in order to fundraise for themselves, for their parties, and for other elected officials. And since fundraising is a constant undertaking, not just ramped up during election cycles, it needs to be considered alongside other dimensions of presidential governance, like speechmaking/rhetoric, congressional relations, foreign and domestic travel, and the other ways that presidents spend their scarcest resource, their time. The fundraising world that President Jimmy Carter entered, following the establishment of new laws, regulations, and restrictions on campaign fundraising after Watergate, is much different than the world in which former President Trump and President Biden are now operating as the 2024 election cycle moves forward. Presidents must make strategic choices around fundraising, and this also shapes the ways that individuals govern from the Oval Office, the way they work with members of their parties, and the way that they work with other elected officials. Fundraiser in Chief: Presidents and the Politics of Campaign Cash is an important contribution to the scholarship on the American presidency, especially in our understanding of how governing and fundraising and campaigning all integrate into each other.

The Rich Zeoli Show: Mark Houck joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his lawsuit against the Biden Administration's Department of Justice. Houck is a pro-life father who was wrongfully charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act after protesting outside of an abortion clinic—and he was arrested at his home during an FBI raid that consisted of nearly two-dozen heavily armed agents. The egregious, authoritarian-style arrest understandably left his wife and children horrified. A Pennsylvania jury ultimately found Houck not guilty. Houck is now seeking $1.1 million for malicious prosecution, false arrest, and retaliatory prosecution. Houck is also running for U.S. Congress. You can learn more about his campaign here: https://www.houckforcongress.com Brittany Bernstein of National Review writes: “The House Oversight Committee and House Judiciary Committee are demanding that director of Oval Office operations Annie Tomasini, Jill Biden adviser Anthony Bernal, chief of staff aide Katherine Reilly, and special assistant Ashley Williams meet with the committees to discuss President Biden's alleged mishandling of classified documents and any role he may have in his family's foreign business dealings… The subpoenas are the latest step in House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into President Biden.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/house-republicans-subpoena-biden-aides-to-testify-about-classified-docs-biden-family-business-dealings/ While appearing on Fox News with Trey Gowdy on Sunday night, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) announced he is suspending his presidential campaign. According to RealClearPolitics averages, Sen. Scott was polling at 2.5% prior to dropping out of the race. Could he be a contender to become Vice President? While appearing on The Rich Zeoli Show last week, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said of the Obama Administration assisting Iranian nuclear development and subsequently endangering Israel: “Barack Obama has been a villain in this whole thing” and, despite knowing the former president since he was a student in law school, “my relationship with him is over.” Now more public figures are agreeing with Professor Dershowitz' assessment—even Bill Maher is openly criticizing former president Obama for his foreign policy in the Middle East and recent, controversial, statements he made suggesting there was a moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel. While speaking with Shannon Bream on Fox News, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley claimed she is “surging” while rivals Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis have “flatlined.” However, RealClearPolitics polling averages indicate all three candidates rising in the polls as other candidates drop out of the race.

As the indictments of President Trump fall apart, the rabid left is now going after his sons and the business of the Trump Organization, which his sons have taken over for him. That's right, they are so desperate to catch someone named Trump that they have turned to their only weapons, the legal system, and it is backfiring completely!! Tucker Carlson recently expressed what we are all feeling about Trump as he asked the question: Will their next step be attempted assassination once they realize going after his sons won't work? Think about everything that Trump is dealing with right now - his third campaign for US President, multiple phony court cases, his Trump enterprises under fire, his sons in court, and now there are open concerns over attacks on his life. What's fascinating to me, and I'm certain you feel the same - how is he doing this? What kind of mental fortitude does Trump have to endure these kinds of trials? (And yes, pun intended) This type of leadership we see from President Trump and his sons is worth exploring and considering as an example in our own lives of leadership. As we build up the parallel economy– be it our own contributions to alternative businesses, leading our children in alternative schooling, standing out at our jobs where we stand alone in our beliefs, There is something important we can be learning here from the Trump family as they persevere through these trials. To evaluate this trial with the Trump brothers, and to analyze the key takeaways we can make here, I've invited executive leadership coach Ken Joslin to weigh in. Ken is a patriot and the CEO of Grow Stack Drive where he trains leaders on how to reach their fullest and most powerful potential.    Highlights:  “Incremental not monumental. Small, daily decisions over time always equal monumental results. Success cannot escape you if you do the right things every single day.” - Ken Joslin “I think what you see in President Trump and his family is, they will not quit.” - Ken Joslin “He literally showed what it would look like to have an entrepreneurial mindset in the Oval Office.” - Ken Joslin “When he saw things that were right to do, he did things that were right to do. And when he saw things that were wrong, he wasn't afraid to voice and go, this right here is not correct.” - Ken Joslin    Timestamps: [03:59] Ken's assessment of the latest trial of the Trump brothers [05:39] The leadership qualities we can take from President Trump [09:23] How Trump showed what it would like to have an entrepreneurial mindset in the Oval Office [12:00] Talking about the equivalence of pain tolerance to impacting and influencing culture and what doe it looks like for everyday Americans who want to return to a life of freedom [18:38] Where leadership plays a role in “creating your own economy” [20:53] All about Ken's free training    Resources:  Learn everything you need to start Creating your own Economy TODAY!

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, America is dying and cannot afford to have another Bush, Christie, Sununu, or McConnell Republican in the White House because they will not be able to reverse the damage done by the Obama and Biden administrations. Nikki Haley has been lying about Ron DeSantis' decision on energy and lies about her own position with Communist China and doing virtually anything to have China invest in South Carolina. Haley has never been a big pro-life governor or support and is lying about her position on abortion too. The reason Donald Trump was so popular was because he was a Washington outsider and didn't govern like the establishment candidates and fought the liberal culture wars and the woke agenda. Also, we have pathetic buffoonish men in the Oval Office, the Secretary of State, and the National Security Advisor, which is why Iran has no reason to stop attacking Israel and is not afraid of the Biden Administration. Jews are being attacked and killed in the United States in the wake of the October 7 terror attacks in Israel, and Democrats are looking the other way while repeating the Hamas lines to the media. The DOJ and FBI were on high alert for parents at schoolboard meetings or pro-life protesters, but they are paying no attention to the anti-Semitism taking over our cities and universities leading to more and more hate crimes against Jews. The Democrat party is all in through their silence and inaction, as well as through the mouthpieces of their media and hate groups and actions they've taken against Jews. Later, Mark talks with Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) about the anti-Israel hatred and evil spreading in the Middle East and in our own country, and about her new book, God Calls Us to Do Hard Things: Lessons from the Alabama Wiregrass.

"I know nothing, I see nothing, I hear nothing!" We Know Nothing sums up the testimony so far from Don Junior and Eric Trump in the New York civil trial over business fraud … a trial that could put the Trump Organization out of business. In coming days we'll likely hear more pleas of ignorance from one-time White House aide Ivanka Trump and her Daddy, as the former President testifies in court under oath for the first time. And it comes one year from Election Day 2024. 365 days after we set  our clocks back over the weekend, America will have the chance to set our nation back generations by returning Donald Trump to the Oval Office. In Michigan, more action on a boatload of Democratic legislative priorities, some even garnering the rarest of all achievements: bipartisan support. On the list: Ambitious laws to reduce the state's carbon footprint Compromise legislation easing the red tape surrounding seeking an abortion And comprise legislation implementing last year's statewide vote on ethics reform Senate Majority Floor Leader Sam Singh (D-East Lansing) Also this week:  Growing talk that Peter Meijer will join the GOP race for the U.S. Senate which is very bad news for Mike Rogers, even as the DeVos family dumps 46-thousand-dollars into the Rogers campaign; The U.S. House tables a resolution of censure targeting Rashida Tlaib; And the most important story of the week: the apparent end to the weeks-long UAW strike against the Big 3 domestic automakers, with strong hints of unionization efforts at Tesla and foreign manufacturers.  We're joined this week by Senator Majority Floor Leader Sam Singh who is deeply involved in just about every key issue facing lawmakers. As Floor Leader, Singh is the traffic cop for legislation in the Senate. He's also lead sponsor of some of the most critical legislation facing the Legislature this year. Singh, an East Lansing Democrat, was Democratic Leader in the last of his three terms in the state House. He is also a former Mayor of East Lansing.

After an embarrassing three weeks of nominees and almost-elections, the House of Representatives finally chose a new speaker — Republican Rep. Mike Johnson, who tried to help Donald Trump overturn the 2020 election. Now, can Congress get to work on government funding and pressing national crises? In an Oval Office address to the nation, President Biden announced a request to Congress for $106 billion to boost national security. The package would include military aid for Israel, increased arms production for Ukraine, funds for Taiwan, and more security along the U.S.-Mexico border. It was part of the outline for renewing America's role in protecting democracy at home and abroad. But is that plan outdated for a changing world? The press serves as a pillar of democracy, and that role is under scrutiny after conflicting reports from the Israel-Hamas conflict, including a deadly hospital blast. And at a local level, massive declines in media have contributed to our political polarization. How can the public's trust — and local journalism — be rebuilt?

Over the weekend, Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III announced a series of actions to bolster the US military presence in the Middle East. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group has been redirected to the Central Command area of responsibility in addition to the Navy’s most advanced nuclear aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, which is currently positioned in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group now joins the USS Gerald R. Ford group, bringing the number of American warships in the region to 10. There are 4,500 sailors on board the US aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford, accompanied by five other ships carrying over 1,600 US troops. Onboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier is 5,000 service members, with further ships carrying another 1,000 troops. Last week, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin placed 2,000 forces on standby to “be ready to deploy.” The forces will now be ready to be deployed to the Eastern Mediterranean within 24 hours, Fox News reported. The order came just days after a special operations Marine Corps unit participating in exercises departed early “as a result of emerging events.” Over the weekend, Austin placed an unspecified number of US troops under “prepare to deploy” orders. Austin said in a statement: “I have placed an additional number of forces on prepare to deploy orders as part of prudent contingency planning, to increase their readiness and ability to quickly respond as required.” Meanwhile, up to six Chinese Warships have been spotted in waters near the Middle East. IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a statement: “We need to enter under the best possible conditions, and this is what we are doing now, as the next stage of war approaches.” “From today, we are increasing the strikes and minimizing the danger.” “We will narrow the risks to our forces over the next stages. This is why we have once again urged residents of Gaza to keep moving south,” he added. As The Daily Fetched reported: Many media outlets have taken Hagari’s words as meaning they are preparing for an imminent ground assault. https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/israel-mideast-assets/2023/10/22/id/1139191/ US Rushes Advanced THAAD Missile Defense to Mideast Fears that the Israel-Hamas war could mushroom into a wider Middle East conflict rose on Sunday with Washington warning of a significant risk to U.S. interests in the region as ally Israel pounded Gaza and clashes on its border with Lebanon intensified. Gaza's Health Ministry said 266 Palestinians, including 117 children, had been killed by Israeli air strikes in the past 24 hours in the enclave, to which Israel laid "total siege" after a deadly mass infiltration into Israel by Hamas gunmen on Oct. 7. In neighboring Syria, where Hamas' main regional backer Iran has a military presence, Israeli missiles hit Damascus and Aleppo international airports early on Sunday, putting both out of service and killing two workers, Syrian state media said. Along Israel's northern border with Lebanon, the Iran-backed Hezbollah group has clashed with Israeli forces in support of Hamas in the deadliest escalation of frontier violence since an Israel-Hezbollah war in 2006. With violence around its heavily guarded borders increasing, Israel on Sunday added 14 communities close to Lebanon and Syria to its evacuation contingency plan in the north of the country. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh called on the international community to create "a united front" to stop Israel's attacks against Gaza and allow in desperately needed aid which has only begun to trickle in. "We place at the top of our priorities stopping the Israeli aggression (...) and bringing in medical and relief aid to prevent a major humanitarian catastrophe," Shtayyeh said during a meeting with 25 ambassadors, representatives and consuls. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Saturday that Washington would send more military assets to the Middle East in support of Israel and strengthen the U.S. defense posture in the region after "recent escalations by Iran and its proxy forces" - a reference to Hezbollah, Palestinian and other militants. Austin told ABC's "This Week" program on Sunday: "We're concerned about potential escalation. In fact, what we're seeing ... is the prospect of a significant escalation of attacks on our troops and our people throughout the region. "If any group or any country is looking to widen this conflict and take advantage of this very unfortunate situation ... our advice is: don’t," he added. Austin said a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and extra Patriot air defense missile system battalions will be sent to the region and more troops put on standby. Iranian security officials told Reuters Iran's strategy was for Middle East proxies like Hezbollah to pursue limited strikes on Israeli and U.S. targets but to avoid a major escalation that would draw in Tehran, a high-wire act for the Islamic Republic. Israel unleashed an aerial blitz on Gaza to its southwest after Hamas militants breached the border on Oct. 7 and killed 1,400 people, mainly civilians, and took 212 hostages back to Gaza. Gaza's Health Ministry said on Sunday that Israel's air and missile strikes in retaliation had killed at least 4,741 and wounded 15,898, with over a million of the densely populated enclave's 2.3 million people displaced. Israel has amassed tanks and troops near the fenced border around Gaza for a planned ground invasion aiming to annihilate Hamas, after several inconclusive wars dating to its seizure of power there in 2007, after Israel ended a 38-year occupation. Several Egyptian guards on the border with Gaza suffered minor injuries on Sunday after being accidentally hit by fragments of a shell from an Israeli tank, the Egyptian army said. Israel's defense force expressed "sorrow regarding the incident," which it said was being investigated. Hamas's armed wing said it had fired more rockets at Tel Aviv on Sunday. There was no immediate word of damage or casualties. With Israel keeping up daily bombings, Palestinians said they received renewed Israeli military warnings to move from Gaza's north to the south to avoid the deadliest theater of the war. They said military leaflets dropped on the territory, just 45 km (28 miles) long, contained the added warning that they could be identified as sympathizers with a "terrorist organization" if they stayed put. Gaza's Health Ministry said most of the dead from air strikes over the past 24 hours were in Gaza's south. Israel says it is only targeting militants and that they often use residential buildings as cover. The first humanitarian aid convoy allowed into Gaza since war erupted arrived in southern Gaza from Egypt on Saturday after days of negotiations. The U.N. said the 20-truck convoy brought life-saving medical supplies and some food. A second convoy of around 19 trucks loaded with medical and food supplies entered the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing on Sunday and was being inspected before proceeding into Gaza, sources said. An explosion and ambulance sirens were heard on Sunday afternoon, shortly after the second convoy had entered the crossing, witnesses said. The cause and exact location were not immediately clear. The U.N. humanitarian office said the volume of aid entering so far was just 4% of the daily average before the hostilities and a fraction of what was needed with food, water, medicines and fuel stocks running out. Deprived of electricity and water, Gazans in the southern town of Khan Younis said they were struggling to feed their children. “We are suffering extremely, waiting since dawn to get bread. If this continues for two more days it will be catastrophic,” said Saleh Skafi, a father of four from north Gaza now sheltering in Khan Younis. Now, on this note - let’s take a look at the overall situation across the globe… https://www.axios.com/2023/10/20/biden-government-war-fears-israel-hamas Behind the Curtain: Rattled U.S. government fears wars could spread Never before have we talked to so many top government officials who, in private, are so worried about so many overseas conflicts at once. We don't like to sound dire. But to sound a siren of clinical, clear-eyed realism: U.S. officials say this confluence of crises poses epic concern and historic danger. Behind the scenes: Officials tell us that inside the White House, this was the heaviest, most chilling week since President Biden took office just over 1,000 days ago. Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates — who ran the Pentagon under presidents of both parties, George W. Bush and Barack Obama — tells us America is facing the most crises since World War II ended 78 years ago. He explains the White House's system overload like this: "There's this gigantic funnel that sits over the table in the Situation Room. And all the problems in the world end up coming through that funnel to the same eight or 10 people. There's a limit to the bandwidth those eight or 10 people can have." Israel's response to the Hamas terrorist attack, and growing fear of a spreading war that reaches to Iran and beyond. Officials point to the protests, threats and deadly, anti-American warnings of Arab nations after they thought — incorrectly — Israel struck a hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds. This is a preview of what they fully expect will be a worldwide response to the expected Israeli invasion of Gaza. The U.S. is deploying two aircraft carriers to the region. A U.S. Navy destroyer on Thursday shot down missiles from Yemen that appeared headed toward Israel. U.S. troops were fired on this week by drones in Syria and Iraq. Vladimir Putin meeting in China this week with Xi Jinping to further strengthen their anti-America alliance. In a new Foreign Affairs article that top officials are sharing, Gates argues that both leaders believe America and other big democracies "are past their prime and have entered an irreversible decline." Putin and Xi sniff weakness and are activating on many fronts… This Reuters headline says it all: "Russia says it is coordinating Middle East policy with China." A malicious Iran. It's unclear how involved Iran was in orchestrating or assisting the Hamas terrorist attack — but officials seem certain there are ties. More worrisome: U.S. officials fear Hezbollah — a much bigger terrorist group than Hamas, funded by Iran — will strike the moment Israel gets stuck in Gaza. Biden said Thursday night in his Oval Office address: "Iran is supporting Russia in Ukraine, and it's supporting Hamas and other terrorist groups in the region." Then there's the unhinged leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, and his frequent testing of long-range, nuclear-capable missiles. As Gates points out, the combined nuclear arsenal of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea "could within a few years be nearly double the size of" America's. A new weapon is being deployed in all these conflicts: a massive spread of doctored or wholly fake videos to manipulate what people see and think in real time. The architects of these new technologies, in background conversations after demonstrating new capabilities soon to be released, say even the sharpest eyes looking for fake videos will have an impossible time detecting what's real. (We'll have a column coming soon to Go Deeper on this topic). Fake video, on top of bots (fake people) and fake written content, is being used aggressively by all anti-American actors, intelligence officials say. Some experts estimate that more than 90% of content on the internet will soon be fake or manipulated. What scares officials is how all five threats could fuse into one. The State Department on Thursday issued a rare "Worldwide Caution," warning U.S. travelers abroad of "increased tensions in various locations around the world" that raise "the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests." These simultaneous threats are hitting at the very moment the American political system seems — and sometimes is — literally broken. It's not just that Republicans don't have a House speaker and can't seem to elect one, or that we might shut down the government in the middle of this mess, or that we're hurtling toward another toxic presidential election in which big chunks of both parties want different candidates. Former top intelligence officials tell us domestic unrest is one of their biggest fears — whether it's triggered by court rulings against President Trump or protests over war in the Middle East. Biden allies frame these flare-ups as a reminder that global chaos requires calm and experience. "With age comes wisdom," Ron Klain, Biden's first chief of staff, told us. But there has been a total collapse of people's trust in the opposing party, the media, what they see or share on social platforms, and even the top-secret intelligence the government relies on to measure these threats. This, as much as the five individual threats above, is what worries officials. They know things could get worse — fast — and require tough actions — fast. And no one knows whether Congress or the public could unite in an emergency. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/10/22/londons-met-police-declare-calling-for-jihad-is-lawful-as-word-has-number-of-meanings/ London Police Declare Calling for Jihad Is Lawful as Word has ‘Number of Meanings’ London’s Metropolitan Police have come under criticism for their seemingly lax approach towards pro-Palestine demonstrations and for giving excuses for those calling for “jihad” against Israel on the streets of the British capital. An estimated 100,000 anti-Israel protesters took to the streets of London on Saturday. Ahead of the demonstration, the Met police warned activists that they may face arrest if they were seen to be supporting proscribed terror groups like Hamas. However, while several people were arrested and some investigations continue, the police force drew considerable backlash for appearing to excuse calls for jihad. Responding to footage of a speaker calling for jihad while standing in front of a placard calling on the “Muslim armies” of the world to attack Israel, the Met said on X: “The word jihad has a number of meanings but we know the public will most commonly associate it with terrorism. “We have specialist counter-terrorism officers here in the operations room who have particular knowledge in this area. They have assessed this video, filmed at the protest in central London today, and have not identified any offences arising from the specific clip. However, recognising the way language like this will be interpreted by the public and the divisive impact it will have, officers have identified the man involved and will be speaking to him shortly to discourage any repeat of similar chanting.” Yet users on social media noted that the Metropolitan Police’s own hate crime guide states: “The offence of incitement to hatred occurs when someone acts in a way that is threatening and intended to stir up hatred… Hate content may include: messages calling for violence against a specific person or group.” https://twitter.com/i/status/1715732342604505530 - Play Video While the Arabic word literally translates to “struggle” and has been used in other, more peaceful contexts, observers noted that the context of the call for jihad on Saturday in London was a literal war cry against Israel. Journalist Andy Ngo, who covered the London rally on Saturday, said: “I was there and the speaker was specifically talking about getting military leaders and countries to mobilize armies of Muslims to go to Palestinian territories to assist the (those who do jihad) against Israel in a holy battle for Islam.” The post has received widespread derision, with author Douglas Murray writing: “Yes, oh Imam of the Met Police. Those guys definitely looked like they were calling for an intense inner spiritual struggle. Got it in one.” Political commentator Darren Grimes added: “Shouting ‘Jihad! Jihad! Jihad!’ won’t get you arrested in Britain, but telling a copper that they look like your lesbian nan as a teenager will see six officers pound your door down.”

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WPHT radio host Rich Zeoli fills in for Mark. President Biden is trying to tie federal aid for Israel to aid for Ukraine and Gaza in a $100 billion aid package. Support for Israel is separate from support for Ukraine, and Biden is trying to equate these two situations in order to get more money from Congress. The world is on fire right now because of the weak leadership of the Biden Administration, and our enemies are not afraid to cross us anymore like they were under President Trump. This is what happens when you have someone with no clue in the Oval Office and does not understand peace through strength. We have a corrupt president who is incapable of leading the world, which is why we keep seeing rockets being fired off in the Middle East by Iran's proxies. Also, Rep Jim Jordan is officially out of the race to be Speaker of the House which is a shame. Jordan could not be the next Speaker because so many of these cowardly moderate Republicans want to hide behind massive omnibus spending bills, and Jordan wanted up or down separate votes instead. Jordan is a threat to the deep state, which is why he is under attack from the establishment D.C. swamp just like Trump. Later, Trump is being persecuted by a weaponized Department of Justice and is now being gagged and fined for making jokes about his court case. This is a government that is going after people's political speech and will shut you down if they do not like what you are saying, but if you are a Democrat saying pro-Hamas things you're allowed to with no consequences.
