Panelist:
Pierre Rehov, French-Israeli journalist, author, and documentary filmmaker, internationally recognized for his in-depth investigations into terrorism, antisemitism, and Middle East geopolitics, is available for interview from Ashdod Israel—20 KM from Gaza. (via Zoom)
His new bestseller in France: Octobre 7 – La Riposte (“October 7 – The Response”) written with French TV producer and journalist Stéphane Simon, warned that after the Hamas massacre of October 7 Israel would inevitably be forced to strike Iran — a prediction that came true when Israel launched a counterstrike against key Iranian military and nuclear sites.

Segment Topic:
- Jarett, first of all, congratulations on your recent work on Newsmax.
- In your latest opinion piece in the Daily Signal: The Absurdity of the ‘No Kings’ Protests:
- For the American protesters I find it hard to believe they just really hate royal symbolism. After all, at one point in our country’s distant past—when most of this weekend’s protests were young and “anti-establishment”—there was all kinds of media praise for “Camelot,” the Kennedy political dynasty. I’m guessing many of these protesters cast a vote for a Kennedy or two.
- The anti-monarchy or even executive power message just doesn’t make sense. They didn’t care when President Barack Obama, the “pen and phone” president, was tearing up immigration laws to enact amnesty by executive fiat.
- From the Israeli-Iran War to the seditionist “No King” movement, are we watching history unfold?
Panelist:
Jarrett Stepman, Daily Signal columnist and the author of "The War on History: The Conspiracy to Rewrite America's Past."

- If the Iranian Regime falls, what will be the aftershocks throughout the Middle East?
- What about Gaza? What about Lebanon?
- Did President Trump’s Middle East summit last month come at the right time?
- Is it possible to expect an expansion of the Abraham Accords if Iran Regime falls?
