1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Stateside Richard I on the morning to you, good morning.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: So it was permanent, then it wasn't they own it?

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Then they're not. And so it went yesterday.

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so what happens tomorrow? You know, Now we

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: find that President Trump didn't bother to tell his top

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: cabinet peaks about his idea of turning Gaza into the

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: Mara Lago of the Middle East. So now some in

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: Team Trump backpeddling a little, and Trump's new Secretary of State,

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: Michael Rubio says those who thought the Trump Gaza takeover

10
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: was crazy and potentially criminal, well they've got it all wrong.

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: Says Rubio.

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 3: The only thing President Trump has done, very generously, on

13
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: my view, is offer the United States willingness to step

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: in clear the debris, clean the place up from all

15
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: the destruction.

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: No, that's not the only thing he said. Of course,

17
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: Trump spoke of a takeover quote unquote, which would see

18
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: the US evicting the two Midian or so Palestidians from

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: Gaza to somewhere. Are you talking about a permanent occupation there?

20
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: I do see a long term ownership position, and I

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: see it bringing great stability to that part of the

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: Middle East.

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 2: So if you are just doing clean up, why would

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: all the Palestinians need to be forcibly removed from Gaza.

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: You could clean the damaged areas bit by bit. With

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: Palestinians staying in the region. Other Arab states could take them,

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 2: says Trump, Like Jordan. Well, Jordan already is more than

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 2: half Palestinian, and if those numbers are boosted, they could

29
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: bring the end of King Abdullah, who is to meet

30
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: with President Trump next week. What about Egypt? Their president

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: our Siesi is engaged in a fierce campaign against Islamic radicalism.

32
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: Not in the market for this kind of thing. The

33
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 2: Saudis say, thanks, but no thanks for many Palestinian Ghazan

34
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: say this is their land, as they've been saying for

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: as long as we can remember. Back at the White House,

36
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: the twenty seven year old New Press spokesperson Carolyn Leavitt says.

37
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: The President has not committed to putting boots on the

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: ground in Gaza. He has also said that the United

39
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: States is not going to pay for the rebuilding of Gaza.

40
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: So who pays for the rebuilding of Gaza and turning

41
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: it into the riviera of the Middle East? As Donald

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: Trump now was taken to calling it, who would build

43
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: the resorts and the golf courses and all that other

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: important stuff Mexico once they pay for the border war.

45
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: Maybe the US also has a problematic history, as we know,

46
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 2: with nation building, which Trump often referred to during his

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: political campaign. We do not seek nation building. We're getting

48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 2: out of the nation building business.

49
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: No more nation building. It's never going to work.

50
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: We must abandon the failed policy of nation building.

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: We are not nation building again.

52
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: We're not nation building.

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: We're going to end the era of nation building. A

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: disastrous concept, a disastrous era.

55
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: What are we doing? What are we doing?

56
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: This could go on. Runk was supposed to be a

57
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: nation building effort. So was Afghanistan, and so looking further back,

58
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: was Vietnam. So should Washington try this in the most

59
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: turbulent region on the planet. Democratic Senator Reuben Diego calls

60
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: this absolutely dumb, stuper and ellitals we will now be

61
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: occupying Gayzer. A number of Republicans on Capitol Hill echoing

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: those concerns. Here is one, I'm not supportive of having

63
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: the American people pay to rebuild Gaza, the Louisiana Senator Kennedy there,

64
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: while another Republican Senator Lindsay Graham calls the Trump proposal

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: problematic if the new president was just floating some starting

66
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: position for the debate. Question would be, of course, what

67
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: is the realistic plan?

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: And then we come to us best mate, Elon, who's

69
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: is everyone resigning? What's happening here?

70
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: We'll find out in a few hours. At the top

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: of this hour for starters, the US Federal Court judge

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: will consider a stay on the midnight deadline for numbers

73
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: of the federal staffers to quit with pay until September

74
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: or face the prospect of being fired with nothing. A

75
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: union group calls the Elon must plant illegal and two

76
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: percent two percent of the federal workers have agreed so

77
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: far on the latest figures, So it affects currently a

78
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: foreign aid, the FBI with its list of some five

79
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: thousand people apparently who are part of the January the

80
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: sixth Trump investigation, the CIA, the Education Department also on

81
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: the firing line. Some air traffic experts were involved as well,

82
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: but it was found that they were being asked to

83
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: quit at the very point when we're seeing this rash

84
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: of aviation tragedies, so they decided to keep them on

85
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 2: for a bit. Protest rallies are being arranged. Some Democrats

86
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: also are starting to take on must directly the will's

87
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: richest man. Of course, we don't pledge allegiance to Elon Musk.

88
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: We are here to fight back.

89
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: No one elected Elon Musk done nothing while a Capitol

90
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 2: Hill committee turned into complete chaos, really made calls for

91
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: Elon mush to be subsoened.

92
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: Mister chairman, I think it's outrageous that this committee will

93
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: not even entertain order our federal.

94
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: Out of order emotions. So, Mike, it's all going really well.

95
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: There's only four more years. Richard ARRONLD state side. The

96
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: other thing was the Panama Canal. Yesterday, the Panama has

97
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: denied making changes to allow US government vessels to transit

98
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: the canal for free. White House claims that was part

99
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: of the move, but apparently apparently it isn't.

100
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to

101
