Segment Topic:
- A two-front war appears on the Horizon for Israel this morning: NY Post:
Hezbollah launched more than 100 rockets early Sunday across a wider and deeper area of northern Israel, with some landing near the city of Haifa, as Israel launched hundreds of strikes on Lebanon. The sides appeared to be spiraling toward all-out war following months of escalating tensions.
The rocket barrage overnight was in response to Israeli attacks in Lebanon that have killed dozens, including a veteran Hezbollah commander, and an unprecedented attack targeting the group’s communications devices. Air raid sirens echoed across northern Israel, sending hundreds of thousands of people scrambling into shelters.
One rocket struck near a residential building in Kiryat Bialik, a city near Haifa, wounding at least three people and setting buildings and cars on fire.
- Communism on the ballot!
General holt’s opinion piece last Friday at Newsmax dot com, outlines for us clearly that Communism is on the Ballot on November 5th: Nov. 5 All About Communism and Its Repugnant Trappings!

Sample Questions:
- General, can you provide us with your assessment in this latest increase in tensions and activity along Israel’s Northern Border in this the fourth consecutive day of intensive air strikes over Southern Lebanon?
- Is Iran, who is in control of Hezbollah concerned that Israel might (if it feels threatened) might use nuclear weapons to defend itself. Might Iran back off it feels that it has pushed Israel too far.
- General, what did you think of Israel’s pager operation? What has that operation done to Iran’s war plans in Lebanon?
- Let’s pivot to your opinion piece in Newsmax on Friday: Do you think that most Americans understand that Communism is on the ballot – right now; early voting in some places is already underway?
- General, you cite the current news-cycle; major stories are available to the public for hours, not days and it is impossible for most Americans to keep up with it. Does that not benefit the Democrat Communist Party, which is attempting to hide precisely what they are doing to transition the Republic into the United Socialist States of America?

Robert Spencer is the director of Jihad Watch and a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He is the author of twenty-eight books, including bestsellers The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), The Truth About Muhammad, The History of Jihad, and The Critical Qur’an.
Spencer has led seminars on Islam and jihad for the FBI, the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council, and the U.S. intelligence community. He is a senior fellow with the Center for Security Policy and is a regular columnist for PJ Media and FrontPage Magazine.
Segment Topic:
The Prophet Mohammad; What can we really know about him? In his latest book: Mohammad a Critical Biography: https://www.amazon.com/Muhammad-Critical-Biography-Robert-Spencer/dp/B0CZJRBBPK/ author, Robert Spencer goes where establishment historians fear to tread, taking a deep dive into the Islamic traditions regarding Muhammad and revealing how much actual variation there is in what is generally presented as a unified portrait of the prophet of Islam.
In Muhammad: A Critical Biography, you’ll learn:
- The story of Muhammad in Islamic tradition is not one of the noble founders of a great religion; Islamic tradition depicts him as a warlord, a murderer, a rapist, a thief, and even worse.
- Much of the behavior of Islamic terrorists goes back to their imitating the example of Muhammad, who did the kinds of things they do today and is revered in the Qur'an as the "excellent example" (33:21); if he were alive today, he'd be the leader of ISIS.
- Because terrorism is justified by Muhammad's example, it can't be eradicated from Islam.
- Most of the stories about Muhammad are contradicted by other stories in Islamic tradition. Some stories even say he originally had a different name and was visited not by Gabriel, but by another angel. They're more legend than fact and were created for political purposes.
- Even if the stories about Muhammad are not historically accurate, it's important for us to know what they say, as Islamic terrorists imitate what they think Muhammad did every day. The stories of his life have caused more destruction than the stories of anyone else's life throughout history, whether they're fact or fiction.
The author, Robert Spencer shows that there is no agreement in the earliest Islamic sources about the most fundamental details of this towering figure’s life. There are conflicting accounts of key details of his life, including the circumstances and contents of the first revelation he claimed to have received from Allah; the year of his birth; the length of his prophetic career; the name of the angel who supposedly appeared to him; and even his own name.
Sample Questions:
- Robert, for those of our listeners who are unaware of how Islam (the religion) came to be. Can you explain that is not for an adulterous affair by the Prophet Abraham, there would be no Islam today? Abraham’s lack of trust in God’s promise to his first wife, brought about the eventual introduction if Islam into the world?
- Why does the world continue to accept the premise that Islam is a religion of peace, when there is no such evidence?
- Why do non-violent Muslims throughout the world remain silent about the violence, killing and destruction of Islam?
- Your efforts to publish the truth about Islam over the years are not unlike those of British Author, Salman Rushdie. Have you targeted by the Iranians or other Muslim clerics?
- If Islam continues to threaten world peace, what is the world community to do?
- Do you believe that the Biden/Harris Administration deliberately opened the southern border to facilitate Iran delivering terrorists into America and if so, what do you expect with respect to terrorism here in America?

Panelist:
Jonathan Goldstein, President, Genesis 1-2-3 Foundation:
The Genesis 123 Foundation is dedicated to building bridges between Jews and Christians and Christians with Israel in ways that are new, unique, and meaningful. Inspiration from Zion is one of the ways in which we achieve that, along with Run for Zion, and a program to connect children with Israel in an age appropriate and biblical way through Verses for Zion.
Segment Topic:
Hezbollah appeared to be planning another October 7th like attack in Northern Israel. Israel appears to have responded by carefully targeting leaders in Hezbollah by way of exploding, electronic devices – planned and executed for such a purpose:
Sample Questions:
- Jonathan, I was recently reading about The Cave of the Patriarchs or Tomb of the Patriarchs, known to Jews by its Biblical name Cave of Machpelah (Wikipedia) – so many of our fellow Americans fail to realize the significance of the Holy Land with regard our civilization. Do you think more Christians would begin to care if they studied more about the Old Testament and Christianity’s connections to it?
- What was the response in Israel to video showing some of Hezbollah’s most dangerous terrorists experiencing the same terror that they have unleased upon the world?
- Americans have no idea that some hospitals in Israel have bomb shelters beneath them and can move patients to those shelters if needed. Can you explain?
