October 17, 2023 It’s ‘the Darkest Day In Israeli History,’ Ex-Envoy Says
As the war between Hamas and Israel continues, President Joe Biden is set to visit Israel on Wednesday following an invitation from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday.
“I think it’s important for any American president to show support for, and solidarity with, Israel in its darkest hour. I mean, this is the darkest day in Israeli history,” Nathan Sales, former ambassador-at-large and coordinator for counterterrorism at the State Department, said prior to Biden’s trip being confirmed. “In the 75 years that the state of Israel has existed, we’ve never seen bloodshed and violence like this.”
“In fact, it’s the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust,” said Sales, a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. “Think about that. America needs to stand by our ally, our closest ally in the region and the only democracy in the region.”
Politico reported Sunday that Biden could travel to the war-torn country “as early as this week.”
“I think what I would like to hear from President Biden when he goes to Israel is ‘We’re going to change course on Iran. We are going to not just go after the tentacles of the octopus, the terrorist groups in Lebanon, the terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip,'” Sales said, continuing to cite what he thinks the president should say:
“We’re going to go after the head, the masters of this entire strategy. We’re going to hold them accountable as well. We’re going to deprive them of the resources that they’re investing in terror proxies to kill Jews. Oh, and by the way, to kill 30 Americans as well.”Will he actually say that? I’m not going to hold my breath.
Sales joins today’s episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how the U.S. can help Israel as the war continues, Iran’s history of supporting Hamas, and his thoughts on Biden’s comments during an interview with CBS that aired on Sunday night.

October 16, 2023 California Freelancer Says She Questioned How She Would ‘Survive’ Under This State Law
A freelance writer and editor is speaking out about the negative effects of a recent California law, saying she questioned how she was “going to survive” after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the legislation, known as AB 5.
“The law ... was signed … on Sept. 18, 2019, and when I woke up that morning and I read about it, you know, the next day, I thought, ‘This is going to be an existential threat to my career,'” recalls Karen Anderson, founder of Freelancers Against AB5, a Facebook group with over 18,000 members.
“I’m not going to—how am I going to survive?” Anderson adds of her thoughts at the time.
The website of the California Franchise Tax Board notes: “AB 5 is a bill the governor signed into law in September 2019 addressing employment status when a hiring entity claims that the person it hired is an independent contractor.”
Anderson says she has worked for almost 25 years as a freelance writer, an editor or managing editor, and a photographer. She says she “started investigating” the state’s new law “and I realized that … it encompassed all professions.”
“So golf caddies, videographers, photographers, nurse practitioners, whatever. So I thought, well, I want to find out how it’s affecting other people, not just me,” Anderson says of the law, adding:
And so I started this public Facebook group just to see if I could hear some people’s stories and … sure enough, they started coming in in … November and December, people started losing their livelihoods overnight.
Anderson, a participant in a recent Heritage Foundation panel discussion, is today’s guest on “The Daily Signal Podcast.” She shares the No. 1 takeaway of the California law with listeners and discusses what’s being done to change it.

October 13, 2023 ‘If I Can Do It, You Can Do It,’ Business Owner and Navy Veteran Says
Clement Troutman, a Navy veteran and Tropical Smoothie Café franchisee in Maryland, says that “the free enterprise system is alive and well.”
But, Troutman adds, “we need to really pursue that and go and chase those dreams.”
“Because there are people waiting,” the restaurateur says. “The cures for cancer are out there, and, you know, we’re sitting on the sidelines thinking that we don’t have what it takes when we really do.”
“So whatever it is you do, go ahead and go for your dreams because if I can do it, you can do it as well,” Troutman says.
Troutman, a participant in a recent Heritage Foundation panel discussion and today’s guest on “The Daily Signal Podcast,” also discusses the panel’s topic: “Why Protecting Independence Is Vital for Opportunities and Flexibility.” (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
“When it comes to independence, this country was founded based on independence, right?” he says.
“We innately want … freedom, and free enterprise is alive and well, and it’s tied to that,” the founder of Troutman Alliance LLC adds. “Now, what does that mean? Well, [it’s] the freedom to choose, the freedom to live life on our own terms, to go where we want to go,”
On the podcast, Troutman discuss his businesses, his advice to those interested in opening their own business, and the Labor Department’s recently proposed overtime rule.

October 12, 2023 CEO of Passages Explains What Life Is Like in Israel Right Now
For some in Israel, daily life is continuing, now set by a backdrop of war.

“Rocket alert sirens will go off, and they'll say, 'Hold on, let me take my computer, let me go to the safe room,'” Scott Phillips said of his friends living in Israel, adding that while talking to him on video calls, “They keep their call going in the safe room. That's the Israeli spirit.”

Phillips serves as the CEO of Passages, a Christian organization that has taken 1,000 students to Israel since 2016, including to two border villages that were decimated during Hamas' recent attacks. Phillips was preparing to leave for Israel next week, but is instead mourning the loss of “two of our speakers who speak to our students in these border communities."

The CEO said he has never seen anything like this happen in Israel, "where Israelis were just murdered [in] cold blood, and over 1,200 now is the count."

Phillips joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what life is like for those living in Israel right now and why the attack from Hamas was such a surprise. Phillips also explains how Americans can support Israel and offers advice on how Christians can pray for both Israelis and Palestinians right now.

October 11, 2023 How and Why Hamas Carried Out ‘Savage Rampage’ Against Israel
The attack Hamas launched on Israel Saturday was “a genocidal savage rampage by uncontrollable militants who were simply trying to destroy Jews,” says Victoria Coates, who formerly served as a deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump.

Hundreds of Israelis were killed in the initial attack and the death toll, which includes at least 14 Americans, continues to rise.

Reports of Hamas torturing Israeli citizens and beheading babies are “appalling, and it shows you what these people are capable of,” says Coates, who is vice president of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)

Coates joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain where Hamas got the resources to launch such an attack against Israel, and why Hamas and Israel have been in conflict for so long.
