Live from STUDIO G- in the heart of America- I'm STEVE GRUBER- saying the things you wish you could in polite company- fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom and defending this great nation every single day-- this is THE STEVE GRUBER SHOW!
Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—
Number One— If you have a window seat—even in economy, you could soon get priority boarding—as one major airline looks at the idea—that it will speed up the process of loading the planes—
Number Two— Conservative Republican Jim Jordan is zero for 2 in getting 217 votes to become the next Speaker of the House—BUT he is not giving up yet and a 3rd vote is coming today it sounds like—
Number Three— President Joe Biden is back in the country after a very short visit to Israel—the trip was cut short after a bomb hit a hospital in Gaza—and meetings with Jordan and the Palestinians were cancelled—
What actually happened at the hospital continues to be an ongoing and emotional argument—BUT the President made it clear—he believes and the United States asserts that it was a terrorist missile fired inside of Gaza that malfunctioned and roared back to earth—
The number of people killed is also a source of much debate—originally we were told more than 500 people were killed in the explosion—but now that is not certain either—
In fact many reports now claim that the main hospital is intact and the parking lot was actually hit—meaning its almost impossible for that many people to have been killed—
President Biden is always dangerous on the world stage as I will explain more in a minute—
When asked if he believes Israel is fighting this war within accepted boundaries of conflict—Biden quickly ended the questions and walked out—BUT it is more than he usually answers—in fact it was borderline miraculous that he did it at all—
Earlier in the day he was having a lot more trouble navigating a conversation where he had to rely on note cards—because there was not a teleprompter available it seems—
The focus for most of the day around the world was what really happened to the hospital in Gaza—a Christian hospital we are told—and emotions are certainly running high on all sides—and the outspoken antisemites on Capital Hill did not hold back in the verbal attacks on the Jewish state—and to be honest its not like they care too much about the truth anyway—they have a political agenda they are pursuing—BUT to be honest—that seems to be true from Kyiv to Tel Aviv these days—
This of course as Tlaib made clear—puts her on opposite sides with her President—and her Democrat Party—many of whom are frequently appalled by her behavior and her hateful comments about Jews—antisemitic tropes often repeated by her fellow squad members like Ilhan Omar and AOC—and this is creating a rift for Democrats—who usually carry the Jewish vote almost completely—BUT this kind of divide could change that in the future—and in some states like New York or New Jersey that could have a significant impact on the outcome of elections to come—
And it seems odd to me—that the people that know Hamas the very best and know the Palestinian people the very best—flat out refuse to open their borders to any refugees—and I MEAN ANY AT ALL—
The answer is an unequivocal no!
For those backing Israel—the New York Times and others first trumpeting the bombing of the Hospital as a direct attack from the Israeli Defense Force—is an insult to Jews everywhere—and smacks of reckless reporting or maybe something even worse—
But for those in Israel—there is no other option any longer but to end the terrorist strong holds—once and for all—
