Hamas, Hollywood, and the Heart of the War
On The Daniel Cohen Show from Real Life Network (RLN), Daniel opens with what feels like a spiritual diagnosis of the times. While President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu build a coalition of nations — Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan — to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages and accepting peace, the world’s stage erupts in hypocrisy. From the media’s silence on Hamas atrocities to Hollywood’s applause for moral confusion, Daniel reminds us that behind every headline lies a deeper war, not of politics but of principalities. This is spiritual warfare disguised as diplomacy, celebrity activism, and cultural rebellion. Israel faces rockets; America faces lies. Yet both must decide whom they will serve. As Daniel puts it: “You can’t fight for freedom while cashing checks from those who crush it.”
The Illusion of Freedom
When Dave Chappelle claims he can “speak more freely” in Saudi Arabia than in America, Daniel doesn’t respond with outrage, he responds with truth. Saudi Arabia, he reminds us, is a land where women only recently gained the right to drive, where slavery still exists, and where public beheadings remain legal. Yet Chappelle calls that freedom.
Bill Maher, not known for defending Christianity, exposes Chappelle’s blindness: “If you believe that, do a bit on Mohammed.” Daniel uses the moment not to mock but to mourn. America has traded gratitude for grievance. Chappelle, a millionaire made rich by free speech and free markets, now mocks both. Worse, he turns “I stand with Israel” into a coded insult, a signal that he’s been “compromised.”
Freedom without truth is a costume. And much of entertainment is playing dress-up with sin, hiding moral bankruptcy behind applause. The Bible says, “No one can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24). In Daniel’s words: “Dave Chappelle has chosen his master, and it’s not truth.”
The Sanctity of Life
From celebrity compromise, Daniel turns to a victory that actually matters: the closing of America’s largest abortion clinic, a 78,000-square-foot facility in Houston that performed over 10,000 abortions a year. “It was a monument to death,” he says, “and now it’s gone.”
Since 1973, over 63 million unborn children have been killed in the United States. Daniel doesn’t soften the language: “Abortion isn’t healthcare. It’s child sacrifice on the altar of convenience.” But in the same breath, he gives thanks because prayer, persistence, and policy have pushed back the darkness.
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you,” God said through Jeremiah. That promise isn’t abstract, it’s personal. Daniel celebrates that promise while exposing the callousness of Planned Parenthood executives caught on tape bartering over baby organs. This is what happens when a culture forgets that life is sacred. Yet where sin increases, grace abounds. The tide is turning, and God is not finished.
Women’s Sports, Children’s Minds, and America’s Soul
Daniel shifts from Houston to headlines shaping family life. The biological male once called Leah Thomas has been permanently banned from women’s competition, a small win for sanity. Daniel applauds women like Riley Gaines, who refused to be silenced. Her courage cost her comfort but preserved truth for the next generation.
Then Daniel turns his eye to the battlefield of the imagination: children’s entertainment. Shows like CoComelon now normalize gender confusion, training toddlers to accept lies before they can spell truth. “This is not innocence, it’s indoctrination,” Daniel warns. Yet the antidote isn’t outrage; it’s discipleship. Christian parents must teach, model, and defend biblical worldview at home, where the next great awakening must begin.
From Gaza to the Gospel: Real Peace Through Christ Alone
Back on the global stage, Daniel examines Trump’s 20-point peace deal with Netanyahu, a plan offering ceasefire, hostage release, and humanitarian aid. But the deeper question remains: What good is peace on paper if hearts remain at war with God?
Hamas delays, deflects, and deceives because rebellion runs deeper than politics. Sin operates the same way, pretending to negotiate, refusing to surrender. Daniel notes that even within Gaza, local families are rising against Hamas tyranny, longing for peace their rulers reject. It’s a mirror of the human heart, trapped, deceived, and desperate for freedom.
The real hope, Daniel insists, is not in presidents or policies, but in a person: Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
The Hope of the Gospel
There is one Creator who made all people in His image and calls every nation to walk in truth. Humanity, from Gaza to Los Angeles, has rebelled against that truth and fallen under sin’s curse. Yet God, rich in mercy, sent His Son, Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, to live the life we could not live, die the death we deserved, and rise from the grave, conquering sin and death forever.
Whoever repents and believes in Christ alone is forgiven, reconciled to God, and given new life. That’s not religion, it’s redemption. And that’s the only peace plan that works. “For He Himself is our peace.” (Ephesians 2:14)
Screens are an unavoidable part of life, and today’s families face more entertainment choices than ever. Yet one trend has become increasingly clear: mainstream media is growing more graphic. Scenes that were once considered inappropriate for network television are now commonplace in streaming shows, movies, and even animated programs marketed to teens.
Parents who want to protect their children from unnecessary violence often feel caught between cultural norms and their desire to shield young minds. The question many are asking is whether this level of exposure is healthy, and what alternatives exist for families who want content that edifies rather than unsettles.
Understanding how violent imagery affects children, teens, and even adults is the first step in shaping healthier viewing habits. And as more families seek meaningful, non-graphic entertainment, faith-based platforms like Real Life Network are becoming welcome havens.
The Rise of Violence in Modern Media
Over the last twenty years, violence on television and in film has not only become more frequent, but it has become more explicit. Streaming platforms have pushed boundaries that traditional networks once maintained, introducing darker themes, grittier realism, and scenes designed to shock or provoke.
Several factors contribute to this shift:
- The pressure to keep audiences engaged through intensity
- The popularity of dark, post-apocalyptic, or dystopian storylines
- The influence of horror and action genres on mainstream storytelling
- The demand for “edgier” content to stand out in crowded streaming libraries
Not all conflict is harmful, of course. Stories have always included tension and struggle. The concern arises when violence becomes graphic, celebrated, or normalized to the point where viewers—especially young ones—absorb it without context or caution.
How Violent Content Affects Children and Teens
Researchers have studied the effects of violent media for decades. While findings vary, there is consistent agreement on several key points.
1. Increased Anxiety
Children who watch violent or intense scenes, particularly at night or in binge-style viewing, often experience:
- Heightened worry
- Nightmares
- Trouble sleeping
- Difficulty distinguishing entertainment from reality
Younger children are especially vulnerable because their brains are still developing the ability to process and evaluate emotionally charged material.
2. Emotional Numbing
Repeated exposure to graphic or sensational violence can cause children and teens to become less sensitive to suffering or danger. This “numbing” effect doesn’t make them harmful; it simply dulls their normal emotional responses, making serious situations seem trivial.
3. Stress Responses and PTSD-Like Symptoms
While the word “trauma” should not be used lightly, psychologists note that graphic or disturbing imagery can trigger stress responses similar to those seen in real-life traumatic events. Children with anxiety disorders, past trauma, or high sensitivity are particularly at risk.
4. Difficulty Processing Conflict in Healthy Ways
Entertainment that resolves everything through aggression subtly teaches that force is a first resort rather than a last one. Over time, it can influence how young people understand:
- Anger
- Problem-solving
- Emotional regulation
- Respect for others
These concerns don’t mean that one action movie will harm a child. But consistent exposure over time can shape patterns of thinking and emotional responses without families even noticing.
What About Violence in Video Games?
Video games vary widely, and not every game is harmful. Many are educational, peaceful, or creative. But games that reward aggression or immerse players in graphic imagery can influence how young people process conflict and stress.
Potential concerns include:
- Increased heart rate and stress levels
- Difficulty calming down after play
- Desensitization to violent behavior
- Reduced sleep quality when gaming at night
- Potential addiction patterns connected to adrenaline-driven gameplay
The issue isn’t simply “video games are bad,” but rather how frequently children engage with fast-paced, violent content and how little downtime their minds receive afterward.
But Isn’t There Violence in the Bible?
Yes, the Bible contains accounts of war, persecution, and injustice. These passages are not hidden; they have value and purpose. Scripture is honest about the brokenness of the world and the consequences of sin.
The key difference is this:
Biblical violence is descriptive, not sensational.
It’s presented within moral framework:
- God condemns unjust violence
- Scripture calls believers to peace and self-control
- Violence is shown as the result of humanity’s fallenness, not entertainment
- Biblical narratives point toward redemption, not spectacle
In contrast, modern entertainment often uses violence purely to shock, entertain, or escalate intensity.
Reading about a battle described in Scripture is not the same as watching a graphic portrayal of one. Visual imagery affects the brain differently, especially in children, triggering emotional responses that linger longer and cut deeper.
Are Faith-Based Shows Less Violent Than Mainstream TV?
Generally speaking, yes. Faith-based programming tends to handle conflict with purpose, moderation, and respect for the audience.
These characteristics set faith-driven content apart:
- Less graphic imagery
- No glorification of brutality
- Stories built around redemption, courage, or moral decisions
- Violence (when present) handled with restraint
- Themes focused on hope rather than darkness
This doesn’t mean faith-based production avoids difficult topics. It means they approach those topics with care and a commitment to honoring both truth and viewer well-being.
Families looking for a safer media environment often find that faith-based platforms offer the emotional, spiritual, and developmental benefits that mainstream entertainment lacks.

5 Family-Friendly Movies to Stream for Free
The collapse of Western resolve and the rise of radical Islam have collided in what Daniel Cohen calls Somalia Gate, the largest welfare fraud in American history. On The Daniel Cohen Show from Real Life Network, Cohen exposes how corruption, open borders, political cowardice, and spiritual blindness are eroding the foundation of the United States. With billions stolen, terror networks empowered, and government leaders like Ilhan Omar and Tim Walz under scrutiny, Cohen connects the crisis to a deeper war on truth itself. For viewers seeking conservative news, a biblical worldview, and honest reporting, this episode reveals why America is at a breaking point and why the fight for truth has never been more urgent.
Somaliagate and the Rise of Lawlessness
Somaliagate is the biggest welfare fraud in American history. Daniel Cohen reveals how billions of dollars were stolen through criminal networks tied primarily to Somali operatives in Minnesota. While the Biden administration, Governor Tim Walz, and Ilhan Omar deflect and deny accountability, whistleblowers say they were silenced, threatened, and punished for exposing corruption.
More than 480 Minnesota DHS employees warned Governor Walz about fraudulent schemes. Instead of action, they say they received intimidation and retaliation. Cohen calls it what it is: an organized crime syndicate masquerading as government.
The scale is staggering. A child nutrition program claimed to feed thousands when surveillance showed only a handful of people entering the facility. Federal agents discovered millions of stolen taxpayer dollars being funneled to al Shabaab, an al Qaeda linked terror group responsible for massacres in East Africa.
Ilhan Omar publicly promoted restaurants and organizations now tied to the fraud while receiving campaign support from those same networks. Video resurfaced of Somalia’s former prime minister bragging that Omar represents Somalia, not Minnesota. The evidence, Cohen says, is undeniable. This is not negligence. It is the deliberate dismantling of American systems in the name of political gain.
And Minnesota is only the beginning. Reports from Ohio and other states show similar patterns. Fraud. Kickbacks. Luxury cars funded by government assistance. American families struggle while corrupt actors and foreign networks drain the system dry. Cohen warns that denying this reality does not make it disappear. It emboldens it.
A Border in Crisis and a Culture Under Siege
Cohen draws the connection between domestic fraud and the consequences of a completely unsecured border. Criminals deported multiple times walk back into the country with ease. Violent offenders roam sanctuary cities with no fear of consequences. Americans pay the price, including recent tragedies in Charlotte and across the nation.
President Trump responded by authorizing strikes against narco terrorists poisoning American streets with fentanyl. Yet Democrats accuse him of war crimes while ignoring the real carnage that destroys families. Cohen calls this moral confusion an indictment of a political class that values ideology over human life.
The same inversion of truth is visible in Europe. In the United Kingdom, a man was arrested at 4 a.m. simply for saying he disliked Palestinian flags in his neighborhood. Cohen warns that America is headed toward the same destiny if it continues to sacrifice truth on the altar of political correctness.
The cultural assault extends even into entertainment. Cohen highlights the growing influence of left wing ideology in major studios, including reports of Netflix acquiring Warner Bros. and the role of high profile political figures in shaping children’s content. Transgender storylines and radical messages have become commonplace in programming aimed at children.
The message is clear. When truth is abandoned, society unravels.
Israel, Biblical Truth, and the Hope That Cannot Be Silenced
In the final section of the episode, Cohen returns to the spiritual center of the crisis. Radical Islam understands only one language: strength. Israel embodies that principle as it fights daily for survival. From deterring Hamas attacks to deploying the revolutionary Iron Beam defense system, Israel is showing the world that peace is impossible without truth and courage.
Meanwhile, the same weaponization of the judicial system used against President Trump is now being used against Prime Minister Netanyahu. Cohen points out the global pattern. Strong leaders who defend their nations are targeted while radicals are celebrated.
Yet there is hope. Cohen highlights the powerful ministry of Jeff Morgan in Israel, sharing the Gospel with Jewish people through Scripture itself. Isaiah 53, Micah 5, Zechariah 12, and Proverbs 30 point unmistakably to Jesus as Messiah. Hearts are softening. Curiosity is growing. Truth is breaking through.
And thousands of American pastors recently traveled to Israel to stand in solidarity, pray at the Western Wall, and commit to preaching biblical truth without compromise.
Cohen reminds readers that America is not just facing political corruption. It is facing a spiritual crisis. The collapse of borders, the rise of radical Islam, the fraud in Minnesota, and the war against Israel are all symptoms of a deeper battle between truth and deception. The answer is not despair. The answer is the Gospel. Christ remains victorious. Scripture remains true. And the Church must remain awake.

On The Daniel Cohen Show from Real Life Network, Cohen exposes how corruption, open borders, political cowardice, and spiritual blindness are eroding the foundation of the United States. With billions stolen, terror networks empowered, and government leaders like Ilhan Omar and Tim Walz under scrutiny, Cohen connects the crisis to a deeper war on truth itself. For viewers seeking conservative news, a biblical worldview, and honest reporting, this episode reveals why America is at a breaking point and why the fight for truth has never been more urgent.
Somaliagate and the Rise of Lawlessness
Somaliagate is the biggest welfare fraud in American history. Daniel Cohen reveals how billions of dollars were stolen through criminal networks tied primarily to Somali operatives in Minnesota. While the Biden administration, Governor Tim Walz, and Ilhan Omar deflect and deny accountability, whistleblowers say they were silenced, threatened, and punished for exposing corruption.
More than 480 Minnesota DHS employees warned Governor Walz about fraudulent schemes. Instead of action, they say they received intimidation and retaliation. Cohen calls it what it is: an organized crime syndicate masquerading as government.
The scale is staggering. A child nutrition program claimed to feed thousands when surveillance showed only a handful of people entering the facility. Federal agents discovered millions of stolen taxpayer dollars being funneled to al Shabaab, an al Qaeda linked terror group responsible for massacres in East Africa.
Ilhan Omar publicly promoted restaurants and organizations now tied to the fraud while receiving campaign support from those same networks. Video resurfaced of Somalia’s former prime minister bragging that Omar represents Somalia, not Minnesota. The evidence, Cohen says, is undeniable. This is not negligence. It is the deliberate dismantling of American systems in the name of political gain.
And Minnesota is only the beginning. Reports from Ohio and other states show similar patterns. Fraud. Kickbacks. Luxury cars funded by government assistance. American families struggle while corrupt actors and foreign networks drain the system dry. Cohen warns that denying this reality does not make it disappear. It emboldens it.
A Border in Crisis and a Culture Under Siege
Cohen draws the connection between domestic fraud and the consequences of a completely unsecured border. Criminals deported multiple times walk back into the country with ease. Violent offenders roam sanctuary cities with no fear of consequences. Americans pay the price, including recent tragedies in Charlotte and across the nation.
President Trump responded by authorizing strikes against narco terrorists poisoning American streets with fentanyl. Yet Democrats accuse him of war crimes while ignoring the real carnage that destroys families. Cohen calls this moral confusion an indictment of a political class that values ideology over human life.
The same inversion of truth is visible in Europe. In the United Kingdom, a man was arrested at 4 a.m. simply for saying he disliked Palestinian flags in his neighborhood. Cohen warns that America is headed toward the same destiny if it continues to sacrifice truth on the altar of political correctness.
The cultural assault extends even into entertainment. Cohen highlights the growing influence of left wing ideology in major studios, including reports of Netflix acquiring Warner Bros. and the role of high profile political figures in shaping children’s content. Transgender storylines and radical messages have become commonplace in programming aimed at children.
The message is clear. When truth is abandoned, society unravels.
Israel, Biblical Truth, and the Hope That Cannot Be Silenced
In the final section of the episode, Cohen returns to the spiritual center of the crisis. Radical Islam understands only one language: strength. Israel embodies that principle as it fights daily for survival. From deterring Hamas attacks to deploying the revolutionary Iron Beam defense system, Israel is showing the world that peace is impossible without truth and courage.
Meanwhile, the same weaponization of the judicial system used against President Trump is now being used against Prime Minister Netanyahu. Cohen points out the global pattern. Strong leaders who defend their nations are targeted while radicals are celebrated.
Yet there is hope. Cohen highlights the powerful ministry of Jeff Morgan in Israel, sharing the Gospel with Jewish people through Scripture itself. Isaiah 53, Micah 5, Zechariah 12, and Proverbs 30 point unmistakably to Jesus as Messiah. Hearts are softening. Curiosity is growing. Truth is breaking through.
And thousands of American pastors recently traveled to Israel to stand in solidarity, pray at the Western Wall, and commit to preaching biblical truth without compromise.
Cohen reminds readers that America is not just facing political corruption. It is facing a spiritual crisis. The collapse of borders, the rise of radical Islam, the fraud in Minnesota, and the war against Israel are all symptoms of a deeper battle between truth and deception. The answer is not despair. The answer is the Gospel. Christ remains victorious. Scripture remains true. And the Church must remain awake.
