We'll tell you about President Biden's wartime trip to Israel, the efforts to get more aid to Gaza as desperation there worsens, and why thousands of American troops are headed that way.
Also, the U.S. House will vote today on its next speaker.
Plus, we're talking about the Biden team's surprising new campaign strategy, how the housing market now compares to the housing market crash 15 years ago, and what record Taylor Swift has broken this time.
President Biden will travel to Israel tomorrow. The high-stakes visit is meant to be a show of solidarity with Israel – while also sending a message to other countries in the region to keep the conflict with Hamas from escalating. The announcement also comes amid a continued push to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The federal government has reached a deal with the ACLU over the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy that separated thousands of migrant families. If approved, those families will be allowed to remain in the U.S. for three years, and will receive housing and legal aid to apply for asylum.

We kick this one off by re-visiting the classic "conversational crack" discussion from The Corona Diaries before ingesting some low grade speed in the "phorm" of a citrusy energy drink that may or may not have staphylococci in it. We also talk about the self-driving cars and food delivery robots that are currently running amok in California and the street rebels who are trying to stop them. We've got some tales from the "Bartenders of Reddit" and a JAM OF THE WEEK from Alice in Chains. Carly is the best. This episode is the best. Give us a listen right now!

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.
Donald Trump has been saying shocking—even violent—things for so long, it barely registers as news anymore. But after January 6, and with Trump again leading the field of Republican candidates for president, is there a real-world danger to what he’s saying?
Guest:Robert A. Pape, professor of political science and the director of the University of Chicago’s project on security and threats

When Rabia Chaudry's family moved from Pakistan to the U.S., her parents fully embraced the processed foods lining the grocery store aisles. But as the author and attorney got older, she began to associate eating with shame and secrecy. Her new memoir, Fatty Fatty Boom Boom, recounts how her outlook on food changed as she understood her own mom's eating patterns. In this episode, Chaudry tells NPR's Ayesha Rascoe how she eventually started healing – so much so that she reclaimed her childhood nickname for the title of her book.
