Oct. 7 didn't end. The survivors still can't go back to work. Three years after Hamas murdered and kidnapped civilians at the Nova music festival and in places like Kibbutz Be'eri, the New York Post checked on the people who lived. Recovery is not what they found. Nova survivor Rom El-Hai, 32, hid in a forest while gunfire passed. He came out without his job, his girlfriend, or his friends, and he says the PTSD and depression are still intense. People tell survivors that making it out means life snaps back. It did not. Photographer Shye Klein still cannot shoot events. A DJ stopping the music sends his heart racing, because that silence is what he heard when the killing started. UJA Federation of New York CEO Eric Goldstein says only 20% of Nova survivors have kept continuous work for more than three months. A large number are out of work. Some are homeless, living in cars, with no financial support. Former hostage Evyatar David, held 738 days, separated the two fights: surviving captivity is one thing and full rehabilitation is another. Tribe of Nova CEO Seth Davis says the anxiety runs deeper now than a year ago, because the outside world already moved on. Klein's line should stick: It is never going to go back to normal, for anybody.Pat also covered: The Douche Hall of Fame is back on "Pat Gray Unleashed," and the first nominee is Joe Biden. Steve Deace joins to break down what Trump is doing for the midterms. James Talarico hasn't been seen in Texas in 10 days. Is he running scared?
