In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, GaryBauer interviews frequent guest Tom Rose, who is live from Israel. The two discuss the historical importance of the National Jewish Day of Mourning. In Hebrew, the Tisha B'Av is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar (August 12-13, 2024). On this day, Jews deprive themselves of nearly all human comforts and devote themselves to prayer and fasting. The holiday is the culmination of the Three Weeks, a period during which the Jewish people mark the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 486 BC and the Roman Empire in 70 AD. You won't want to miss this fascinating discussion.

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer discusses Iran's recent drone and missile attacks on Israel and the Biden administration's alarming response. Rather than supporting Israel in what should be a strategic military strike in retaliation for this unprecedented Iranian act of war, President Biden and his Department of State warned Israel that the U.S. would not support any Israeli military action against Iran.
