MAGA STRIP? Trump and Netanyahu say Gaza Strip could be the next 'Riviera'



Trump had his first meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House this week, where he stated that the United States would “take over the Gaza Strip.”

“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said during the press conference. “We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings.”

When Trump was asked whether he was willing to send U.S. troops to fill a security vacuum in Gaza, he told reporters, “As far as Gaza is concerned, we’ll do what is necessary. If it’s necessary, we’ll do that. We’re going to take over that piece and we’re going to develop it.”

Trump also asserted that the Gaza Strip could be the next “Riviera.”

While plenty of Americans on the left are in shambles over Trump’s announcement, Dave Landau of “Normal World” sees nothing but opportunity — particularly in the form of jokes.


“What are some potential Gaza tourist traps we can look forward to?” he asks.

“Sheikh-fil-A,” co-host and comedian Angela Boggs laughs, but she isn’t done, throwing “Hard Rock at a Woman’s Head Cafe” into the mix.

“Bed, Bath, and Bloodshed,” Landau jokes. “Medieval Times, just not the restaurant. Just in general, how they live.”

“Allahu Akbar It’s Friday's,” he adds.

Female veteran says Pete Hegseth is RIGHT about women in the military



Air Force veteran Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) knows a thing or two about women in the military — and now she’s clearing up one of the Democrats' biggest lies about Trump’s pick for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, during his confirmation hearing.

“Pete never said that he didn't want women to serve in the military. In fact, it’s quite the opposite,” Luna tells Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program.” However, Luna believes that “there are certain roles that women should not be subjected to in the military.”

“I preface this by saying that when women were placed in harm’s way, that the natural instinct for men was to protect that woman. And that’s quote-unquote ‘toxic masculinity’ that the left tries to attack us with all the time,” Luna says.

“That is human nature. We are born with that,” Glenn agrees.


“When you have, though, a woman that’s, let's say, placed on a special forces team, they come under fire, hypothetically that woman gets hurt, instead of focusing on the mission, as it would be if there were just other men present, the men would then in turn go to protect that woman, and it could ultimately result in more casualties,” Luna explains, adding, “and then also jeopardize the success of the mission.”

“That’s what Pete was saying, but you know, it’s very easy, because Pete is a white male, for them to try to demonize him and paint him as this anti-woman, you know, alcoholic womanizer, which is simply not the case,” she continues.

Glenn couldn’t agree more.

“I have no problem with women in the military, with the exception of the natural order of things,” Glenn says. “I have to tell you, if one of the guys was captured by, you know, al-Qaeda, I would do everything I can to make sure that one of the members of my team were safe.”

“It’s different if I know that the woman member of our team has just been captured. It takes on a different meaning to me, because I know what’s going to happen to her in comparison to Tom or Tim, and I think that is a natural instinct,” he adds.

‘It’s been a political witch hunt’: Trump sentenced to an ‘unconditional discharge’



New York Judge Juan Merchan has decided to sentence Donald Trump to an “unconditional discharge,” which means he will face zero jail time and pay no fines.

“This has been a very terrible experience,” Trump said in response to the sentencing. “I think it’s been a tremendous setback for New York and the New York court system.”

“It’s been a political witch hunt. It was done to damage my reputation so that I’d lose the election. And obviously, that didn’t work and the people of our country got to see this firsthand, because they watched the case in your courtroom. They got to see this firsthand and then they voted, and I won.”

“They’ve been watching your trial, so they understood it was under a gag order where I couldn’t talk about aspects of the case that are very important,” he continued. “The fact is that I’m totally innocent. I did nothing wrong. They talked about business records and the business records were extremely accurately counted.”


“This has been a weaponization of government. They call it lawfare. Never happened to any extent like this but never happened in our country before,” he added.

Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” couldn’t agree with President-elect Trump more.

“He’s gone through all of this lawfare throughout the years, and all of these different cases, and they all end up fizzling out into nothing,” Gonzales comments, adding, “We all know that they were bogus in the first place.”

“I mean, just imagine the human part of him,” she continues. “This is a father, this is a grandfather. He has children, he has grandchildren, who are now going to have to listen to all of these people talk about how their dad, who they know did nothing wrong, is a convicted felon, and it just makes me so mad for him.”

Unraveling Jerusalem's complex history: Levin explores Israel's ancient roots as Iran attacks



Never one to shy away from a challenge, Mark Levin of “LevinTV” flew across the world into a war zone — and was with his family as Iran shot missiles and flew drones into Israel.

And the response from the American government was not what Levin was hoping for.

“Biden puts out a statement late, that, ‘Okay, it was a massive success for Israel and the United States because our defense systems work.’ The hell is that? Any country that shoots 300 spitballs at another country is committing an act of war,” Levin says.

“Now, this is a Biden who funds the enemy, who arms the enemy, who then funds and arms their surrogate terrorists,” he continues, adding, “Israel’s now under the thumb of the most incompetent, stupid president."


While Israel’s existence is a contentious topic for many misled Americans, Rabbi Ken Spiro is not one of them — and from within the walls of Jerusalem, he dove deep into the historical and spiritual legacy of Judaism in Israel.

“We have this temple up here. This is the holiest spot for Judaism,” Levin says to Spiro. “So why is there a Muslim mosque on the holiest site of Judaism? How did that happen?”

“Around 500 years after our temple was destroyed, Islam became a world dominant religion. And when they came over here, they built it right on our center. Some say that in Islam, they like when they conquer a certain place to sort of erase the past history and claim it as their place,” Spiro explains.

“So how is it that their temple became, what, their third-holiest site, which is on the Jewish holiest site that has been the Jewish holiest site well before there was a Muslim faith? How is it then that Palestinians now claim that is their territory?”

“Because Moshe Dayan decided to leave it, that’s why,” he adds.

‘Biggest news story of all human history’: INSANE claim from Las Vegas Cybertruck bomber’s manifesto



2025 has gotten off to an explosive start — literally.

Within hours of the clock striking midnight on the first of the year, a man blew up his Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Las Vegas Trump International Hotel. And of course, the attack wouldn’t be complete without a manifesto available — this one containing some very odd claims.

“It’s a manifesto that comes from the guy who was claiming to be a whistleblower. He claimed to be a man on the run, hunted by his own government. He said he blew himself up, apparently, in a Tesla near the front door of the Trump Hotel in Vegas,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” explains.

In the manifesto, the suicide bomber cited the government’s lies as reason for what he had done.


“Now if you read the manifesto, he talks about gravitic propulsion systems. What is that? It’s not your average stealth fighter, or next-gen drone. We’re talking about aircraft that allegedly manipulates gravity itself,” Glenn says, in awe.

“It manipulates it to achieve flight. It’s a concept that defies all current physics, but it’s not without precedent in speculative science,” he continues. “Now what this means is no jet fuel, no sound barrier, just seamless, silent motion at unimaginable speeds.”

Meanwhile, there was a very silent announcement over the weekend that no one is talking about, which Glenn says is “the biggest news story of possibly all human history.”

“Hear me out on this. Now according to the manifesto, the aircraft are actively being deployed both in the United States and China. And not just as prototypes in some secret desert lab but operationally. Apparently, he alluded to the fact that this is what we’re seeing with the drones,” Glenn explains.

“The whistleblower claimed that China has been launching these systems from submarines stationed in the Atlantic right off our East Coast,” he continues. “Now let that sink in for a minute.”

“If this is true, [these are] silent, undetectable aircraft capable of carrying massive payloads [and] launched from submarines that can remain undetected just miles from our shores or even up above the White House, and no one would know?” Glenn says, adding, “He says that these are the greatest national security threat in history.”

‘Goodbye’: If your man does this, it’s time to go



Times have changed, and in terms of relationships — it hasn’t been for the better.

Women everywhere are finding themselves growing older while their long-term partners are failing to get down on one knee and commit, and one recent post on X brought this glaring and painful issue into the spotlight.

“I have a friend who has been in a relationship for five years. She is 32 now, he is 35. He says that he loves her but doesn’t feel ready to move in or commit. Thoughts?” Italian journalist Alessandra Bocchi posted on X.

Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” has some advice.


“I will say that I am not really in the business of telling people that I do not know to break up,” Stuckey begins. “There are a lot of different details and different nuances in people’s relationships. There could be different caveats, different circumstances.”

“But this person asked, in general, what are your thoughts about this situation. And from the information that we have, someone who is 32 and 35, they’ve been dating for five years, she doesn’t give any extenuating circumstances or reasons other than he doesn’t feel ready to move in or commit,” she continues.

“Based on that knowledge, I am saying goodbye. Goodbye. You break up with him, and you move on. No, no, no. He is a man-child at this point. There is a failure to launch. There is something going on here, and there is no innocuous good reason, no justification, no valid excuse for him not to commit,” she adds.

While women, often blinded by the love they feel for someone in a relationship, will psychoanalyze the situation and find reasons for their man’s refusal to commit — the real reason is much simpler.

“It is usually that he simply does not want to. Because the phrase is true,” Stuckey concludes, “If he wanted to, he would.”
