Everything you thought you understood about Lebanon, Hezbollah, Israel and the U.S. is about to be challenged.

David Daoud, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) and one of the leading experts on Lebanon and Hezbollah, joins Erin Molan for a conversation that completely upends the conventional narrative surrounding Lebanon and the much-discussed Israel-Lebanon “peace deal.”

And Daoud isn’t approaching this from a distance. He tells Erin that he served in the IDF and fought Hezbollah himself.

So why does he believe Washington and Jerusalem may be misunderstanding Lebanon?

Daoud explains why Hezbollah cannot simply be dismissed as a foreign Iranian occupation of Lebanon, why significant Lebanese Shiite support for Hezbollah matters enormously, and why Lebanon’s unique political system makes disarming Hezbollah far more complicated than many Western observers suggest.

He also challenges the way the recent U.S.-backed Israel-Lebanon arrangement is being described.

His message is blunt: stop calling it a “peace deal” when the Lebanese themselves aren’t calling it one.

Erin and David also discuss Marco Rubio’s approach to Lebanon, Iran’s relationship with Hezbollah, how Hezbollah finances itself, the Lebanese government’s willingness and ability to confront the group, Resolution 1701, and whether Washington is mistaking temporary quiet for genuine peace.

Could this agreement actually create lasting stability between Israel and Lebanon?

Or are Washington and Jerusalem repeating the same mistakes that could leave another generation fighting the exact same war?

David Daoud is a Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies focused on Lebanon, Hezbollah and Israel.

Former IDF Soldier BLOWS UP The Entire Israel-Lebanon "Peace Deal" Narrative

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/45b6ba37-f8f6-44fd-8565-b4b701596024/transcript

Erin Molan reacts to a fiery Stephen Miller appearance on Fox News as President Trump’s senior adviser unloads on Democrats, illegal immigration and the consequences of the Biden-Harris border policies.

Miller’s live TV takedown becomes the centerpiece of a much bigger question: what exactly are Americans being asked to return to if Democrats regain power?

Erin also goes after Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed as scrutiny grows over his relationship with Hasan Piker. After embracing the controversial streamer, El-Sayed has faced pressure over Piker’s inflammatory comments and is now attempting to put distance between himself and the controversy.

Then comes one of the strangest political moments of the week: Abdul El-Sayed paying tribute to Dolly Parton. Erin contrasts the Dolly Parton celebration with the wider controversy surrounding El-Sayed, Sharia law and the political worldview he represents.

Also in this episode: the continuing fallout from illegal immigration, disturbing crimes involving migrants released into the United States, the immigration crisis unfolding across the United Kingdom, and a major media controversy ahead of the 25th anniversary of September 11.

Canada’s publicly funded CBC faced backlash over internal guidance concerning whether journalists should describe the 9/11 attacks as a “terrorist attack.” CBC later changed that guidance following the controversy.

From Stephen Miller’s Fox News mic-drop moment to Abdul El-Sayed, Hasan Piker, Dolly Parton, Sharia law, illegal immigration and the CBC 9/11 controversy, Erin asks whether the warning signs across America and the wider Western world are becoming impossible to ignore.

“Mr. Sharia Law” CELEBRATES Dolly Parton… What a FRAUD! (LMAO)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/1aa71845-e74c-4b2c-affd-b4b601685417/transcript

What do young Republicans ACTUALLY believe — and who do they see leading the Republican Party after Donald Trump?

Independent journalist Sloan Rachmuth went directly to young Republicans at a national convention in Florida and started asking questions: Where do they get their news? Who influences them? What issues actually matter to them? How do they view Israel, foreign policy and antisemitism? And, perhaps most revealing of all, who do they believe represents the future of the GOP?

Some of the answers surprised her.

Sloan joins Erin Molan to reveal what she heard on the ground and what it could mean for the Republican Party after Trump.

The conversation also turns to JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Tucker Carlson, young conservative voters, X and YouTube as news sources, affordability, Israel, China and online misinformation — before Sloan recounts her own very public clash with Vice President Vance.

If you care about where MAGA and the Republican Party go after Donald Trump, this is a fascinating look at what the next generation of conservative voters is actually thinking.
