Summary

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump gave Hamas until Sunday at 6pm ET to accept a deal for releasing hostages, or Israel would proceed militarily. Hamas responded hours later, which was confounding, agreeing to release the hostages and seeking further negotiations. For now, we should trust the process because we don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes. But countries like Turkey (led by a brutal dictator), Qatar (which funds terrorists and shielded 9/11 mastermind KSM), and Saudi Arabia (source of 9/11 hijackers and Bin Laden) didn’t do anything for any potential peace. Also, Republicans won’t face a political backlash from this Democrat government shutdown. Americans will quickly forget this shtick which is exaggerated by the media. Later, Democratic Virginia Attorney General nominee Jay Jones is under fire after sick 2022 text messages surfaced, in which he fantasized about shooting former GOP House Speaker Todd Gilbert in a hypothetical scenario involving "the two worst people you know," stating Gilbert "receives both bullets every time." Jones expressed regret, blaming his GOP opponent Jason Miyares for leaking them. Finally, Dinesh D'Souza calls in to discuss his new film - The Dragon’s Prophecy. Learn more about your ad choices.
