New Revelations/Intercepted Communication in Gaza Hospital Blast...And Jim Jordan Gets Stiffed 10/18
#Gaza #Hospital #recording #intercept #Israel #Biden #jimjordan #ArabLeaders #blame #BloodLines Who was behind the blast at a Gaza hospital that reportedly killed at least 500 people taking shelter? Israel Defense Forces claim it was a failed rocket launch by Islamic Jihad, a group aligned with Hamas. A just released recording seems to back up that narrative. IDF is saying an analysis of their own operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital at the time it was hit.” IDF says a hospital is a sensitive building and would not be a target. Fox is reporting that Hamas is calling the attack "genocide." We will speak with John Rothmann about this and President Biden’s trip to Israel today. A man looking to make bail decided to place some sports bets to make the necessary 10k. He bet on the Rams, Jets, Raiders, Liberty, Bills and Lions. It was a six team money parlay that made him more than enough to head home. A father and son team wrote a suspenseful thriller that will have you turning pages all night long. Blood Lines was released on October 10th. It ties espionage, terrorism, and political intrigue together until the surprising end. We will visit with Nelson DeMille, a decorated US Army veteran and 8-time #1 New York Times best-selling author and his son, Alex DeMille, a director and film editor, to talk about the project.

Israel Prepares to Retaliate - Gives 24 Hr. Deadline to People in Northern Gaza to Head South.
We wrap up our one-year Mark Thompson Show Anniversary week with more of your videos and wonderful messages. The support and love you've shown us is amazing and humbling. More fun to come on this show even in the shadow of what is underway in the Middle East. Israel is telling the United Nations that people in the Northern Gaza Strip have 1 day to leave. That's about 1.1 million people that have a matter of hours now to get out before retaliation comes swift and sure following the Hamas attack. We'll have the latest information for you. We will not have a Speaker Steve Scalise. He withdrew his name from consideration saying the Republican conference is not working together and some people have their own agendas. He says those people have to decide to set their own agendas to the side and prioritize the need to come together as a party. Scalise says he will not have his name used as an excuse to keep the House closed. We have our brilliant friends Jim Avila and Michael Shure coming by to talk all about it. It's Friday!!! Enter John Daly to the Friday Fabulous Florida fray! We'll enjoy a finely crafted showcase of stories that are so very Florida. (Thanks Albert!) Michael Snyder, the Culture Blaster, will ride his rainbow in toward the end of the show to talk about movies...something tells me he's not reviewing the new Taylor Swift Eras documentary! It's The Mark Thompson Show and we couldn't be more proud to start our second year! 10/13/23 Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

All Out War Between Israel & Hamas in Israel.. the Death Toll Staggering 10/9/23
The death toll from both sides of this escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas is heartbreaking with more than one thousand people killed. Thinking about all the sons and daughters lost, all the grieving parents- is soul crushing and this fight seemingly has no end. We will start with John Rothmann and follow the developments after what started with Hamas fighters breaching the border from Gaza in a brutal and deadly surprise attack. Officials say the death toll in Israel has passed 700. Subsequent fighting and air strikes by Israel leave 400 Palestinians dead. Richard Greene will join us to talk about that and more. He’s a civics educator, a lawyer and a radio guy- so he’s our kind of people. We are so excited to present more videos from you celebrating our 1 year show anniversary. These are so good!

Is President Biden Breaking a Campaign Promise or is he Legally Required to Build a Border Wall?
President Biden issued a proclamation when he took office promising that "no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall.” Now, with a crisis at the border, President Biden is looking to start wall construction again. Why? According to Biden administration officials, the wall is not deviating from the proclamation because the money allocated under Trump must be spent now. It will be interesting to see what Jim Avila & Michael Shure think of this! It’s Friday Fabulous Florida and we aim to please. Fingers crossed for Sheriff Grady and some big gators! John Daly will pop in to rate the Florida offerings. Spooky, creepy Halloween movies are upon us and the Culture Blaster Michael Snyder is bringing his horror chops to this week’s review session.
