Palestinian Persistence, Terror Financing and the Ideological Fight on American Soil

Week of 11/24/25: Mike and Laureen break down the recent high-profile Oval Office meeting between NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and President Trump, focusing not just on what was discussed, but what was left unsaid. The episode features a compelling clip from political commentator Ken LaCorte, who explains why Palestinians continue their struggle despite overwhelming losses. The hosts discuss a conversation between CBS’ Major Garrett and the Free Press’ Tanner Nau and analyze Nick Fuentes’ efforts to influence the Republican Party by mobilizing young right-wing voters through a new nonprofit organization with openly antisemitic and racist aims. The week’s headlines included the PLO’s “pay to slay” incentivized terrorism program; a report from the Institute for Standing Against Global Antisemitism on Qatar’s $20B influence campaign in U.S. universities; and President Trump’s designation of certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters as global terrorist organizations. In closing, Mike and Laureen condemn a disturbing incident at the University of South Florida, where Muslim students praying on a parking garage rooftop were harassed, leading to three arrests.
