Segment Topic:
The last, best hope to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is: One Jewish State!
- The United States has a “biblical” duty to support Israel’s annexation of the occupied West Bank, former US President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Israel argues in a new book, unveiling a plan for “one Jewish state" that he said he would share with Trump. (Middle East Eye)
- “President Trump has often said that he was indifferent to one state or two states - whatever the parties might agree to,” former US ambassador David Friedman writes in the book, One Jewish State: The Last, Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
https://www.amazon.com/One-Jewish-State-Israeli-Palestinian-Conflict/dp/1630062944
- One of the leading architects of the historic Abraham Accords, David Friedman explains why in these turbulent and dangerous times, the simple phrase of three words – ONE JEWISH STATE – must be the guideline for Israel and the world’s collective future.
- Each word of ONE JEWISH STATE is deeply instilled with meaning:
- ONE: There is only ONE country earmarked for the Jewish people; ONE. There are 49 Muslim countries, and many Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu countries, but only ONE Jewish State.
- JEWISH: This Jewish State is exactly that – JEWISH. It is the place where Jewish history was born, where Jewish values were created and where more Jews live than anywhere else. It is situated on the land given to the Jewish people by God in the words of the Holy Bible.
- STATE: Israel is not just a place; it is a country with sovereignty over its land and responsibility for its inhabitants. Today that sovereignty has been called into question by the nations of the world and even by some within Israel. But Israel cannot be Jewish without sovereignty over the places that make it Jewish.
- Panelist, Ambassador David Friedman proposes a goal and a path, with God’s help, for Israel to have complete sovereignty over all its biblical homeland – in a just manner that brings peace, prosperity, and essential human dignity to ALL of Israel’s inhabitants. In ONE JEWISH STATE he will explore:
Panelist:
Ambassador David Friedman, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel (Trump).
Ambassador Friedman is the bestselling author of Sledgehammer: How Breaking with the Past Brought Peace to the Middle East, and the executive producer and co-star, with former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, of Route 60: The Biblical Highway, a film about Judea and Samaria. In 2021, he launched the Friedman Center for Peace through Strength which has recently launched a project that bears the name of this book: One Jewish State.
He lives with his wife, Tammy, in Jerusalem and Florida, and is a proud father and grandfather.

Segment Topic:
The Eastman Dilemma: Lawfare or Justice' a new documentary examines the war against Conservatives.
- Can a justice system that punishes individuals more harshly based on their beliefs truly be considered just, or has it devolved into a tool for ideological enforcement rather than a guardian of equal rights?
- “The Eastman Dilemma: Lawfare or Justice” addresses a critical pain point: the growing reality that attorneys who represent conservative clients are being unfairly targeted and “canceled” by a legal system as it grows increasingly politically biased. There is growing evidence that a two-tiered justice system has emerged, where conservative figures face severe penalties for actions that receive leniency if committed by non-conservatives.
- This injustice not only threatens the integrity of the legal profession but also undermines public confidence in the impartiality of the courts, creating a chilling effect on legal advocacy and free speech. The film aims to expose and challenge these disparities, advocating for equal treatment under the law regardless of political affiliation.
John Eastman discusses how conservatives have been victimized by lawfare. He is available for an interview at your convenience.
Panelist:
Dr. John Eastman is the former Henry Salvatori Professor of Law & Community Service and former Dean at Chapman University's Dale E. Fowler School of Law, where he had been a member of the faculty since 1999, specializing in Constitutional Law, Legal History, and Property.
He is a founding director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, a public interest law firm affiliated with the Claremont Institute that he founded in 1999. He has a Ph.D. in Government from the Claremont Graduate School and a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School, and a B.A. in Politics and Economics from the University of Dallas.
Prior to joining the Chapman law faculty, Dr. Eastman served as a law clerk to the Honorable Clarence Thomas, Associate Justice, Supreme Court of the United States, and to the Honorable J. Michael Luttig, Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and practiced law with the national law firm of Kirkland & Ellis.

Segment Topic:
- How far should Republicans go with investigations of Democrats for their participation in Russia-Gate and January 6, 2021?
- What if Joe Biden pardons his entire party before leaving office? Should that end investigations to get to the truth?
- Even if Joe Biden pardons his whole administration, Americans deserve the truth. The pardoning of Hunter Biden throws open the possibility of many more to come during this presidency’s last five weeks. Even if key people are exonerated before the fact, Republicans shouldn’t be dissuaded from investigating. Far more important than punishing the guilty is that the truth be told and that, if wrongs have been committed, they should never happen again. (J.T. Young, author of Unprecedented Assault: How Big Government Unleashed America’s Socialist Left.)
Following Nixon’s resignation in August of 1974, the investigations into the Watergate scandal continued and had a negative impact on Republicans in 1976.
We Won the Election but We Haven’t Defeated the Enemy; so, says Trevor Loudon, spokesman for the film, Beneath Sheep's Clothing.

Trevor Loudon’s thesis: Commonly regarded as mainstream political policy is in fact driven and guided by hidden subversive elements. The Democratic Party’s consistent defunding of the US military, support of open borders, sexualization of children, the climate change agenda, pipeline shutdowns and many other anti-American policies are all consistent with communist goals. Trevor Loudon believes that these forces must be exposed and countered, as America’s continued role as a bastion of freedom is pivotal for the future of western civilization.
Panelist:
J.T. Young, author of Unprecedented Assault: How Big Government Unleashed America’s Socialist Left, is a Former Congressional Political Analyst and Policy Advisor.
Young has worked for over three decades in and around DC politics, immersed in economic advising and policy legislation from Capitol Hill. Alongside degrees from the University of Chicago (B.A.) and Cornell University (M.A., Ph.D.), Young’s writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal,
Washington Times, Washington Examiner, The Hill, American Spectator, The Federalist, Washington Post, New York Post, Barron’s, Forbes, Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, Cleveland Plain Dealer, and elsewhere.
Trevor Loudon is an author, filmmaker and public speaker from Christchurch, New Zealand. For more than 30 years, he has researched radical left, Marxist and terrorist movements and their covert influence on mainstream politics.

Segment Topic:
- Was the attempt by the Uni-Party an early test of President Trump’s mandate from the American people and his control over HIS Republican Party?
- Should we believe that John Fetterman is now the conscience of the United States Senate? Should we believe his new hand of bi-partisanship?
- Biden’s pardon of the Kids for Cash” judge was disgusting. Almost as disgusting as Bill Clinton selling a pardon to Marc Rich – who was living in exile.
Panelist:
Jeffrey Lord, Former advisor to President Ronald Reagan, Associate Editor of the American Spectator, frequent contributor for Newsmax and host of the Word of the Lord Podcast and a very good friend to this radio program.
