1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Stayside, Richard ild morning, Good morning, mind. We we excited. 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 2: Many people are yes, we'll see what happens as this 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 2: play is on. But after two years of horror and 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 2: misery in the Middle East, there are new hopes with 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: the acceptance of phase one of this piece planned the 6 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 2: plan pushed by President Trump and its Cabinet session. A 7 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 2: short time ago, Trump revealed that next Monday or Tuesday, 8 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 2: that's Tuesday or Wednesday, your time is the deadline for 9 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 2: the return of the hostages. The twenties still alive and 10 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: the bodies of twenty eight Israelis who did not survive 11 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 2: their captivity. 12 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 3: Secured the release of all of the remaining hostages, and 13 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 3: they should be released on Monday or Tuesday. Getting them 14 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 3: is a complicated process. I'd rather not tell you what 15 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 3: they have to do together. There are places you don't 16 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 3: want to be. Yeah. 17 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 2: Long suffering hostage families in Israel are celebrating, even as 18 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: some say they really won't be able to believe it 19 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 2: until it happens. Trump spoke by phone with some of 20 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 2: the family members and the White House released this recording 21 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: or coming back by Monday. Well, none of this has 22 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: been simple. During the ceasefire talks in Egypt, Israeli and 23 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: hamas delegates. We're not even in the same room. The 24 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 2: remaining hostages are believed to be held by several splinter groups, 25 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 2: so getting all of them together will be challenging, as 26 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: President Trump indicated. So Trump says he is planning a 27 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: trip to the region. 28 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: Working on the timing, the exact timing. We're going to 29 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 3: go to Egypt where we'll have a signing, an additional signing. 30 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: We've already had a signing representing me, but we're going 31 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 3: to have an official signing. 32 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 2: He also spoke of the losses, the terrible losses on 33 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: both sides. 34 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 3: Dot Over seventh was terrible, but also from the Hammas standpoint, 35 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 3: they probably lost seventy thousand people. That's big retribution. That's 36 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: big retribution. But at some point that whole thing has 37 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: to stop. 38 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody with a sense of human decency fully agrees 39 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: with that. As for other elements, right wing members of 40 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: the NITTNOHU cabinet are endorsing the hostage released what they're 41 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: calling it a cease fi, not an into the war. 42 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: But Trump was keih here. Last month, he voiced anger 43 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: over the Israeli air raid on cutup on an area 44 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: where Hamas was discussing peace efforts. Trump de managed at Netta, 45 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: who then call the cuveries with an apology, which was 46 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: shown on video. He also told the Israeli leader he 47 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: was opening new talks with the Iranians, and Trump is saying, now. 48 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 3: Iran wants to work on peace. Now they've informed us, 49 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 3: and they've acknowledged that they are totally in favor of 50 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 3: this deal. They think it's a great thing. So we 51 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: appreciate that and we'll work with Iran. As you know, 52 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: we have major sanctions on Iran and lots of other things. 53 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: Would like to see them be able to rebuild their 54 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 3: country too, but they can't have it it where well. 55 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 2: So Trump has been very proactive with all this, even 56 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: as he has been openly campaigning for the Nobel Peace Prize, 57 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: which is due to announced in December. Some Trump allies 58 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: now are saying it should be renamed the Donald Trump Prize. 59 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: Others are simply suggesting this is a rare good moment 60 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: for the US of late. It is interesting that the 61 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: actions which often highlight US presidencies are the moments when 62 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: leaders split from their basic support groups, as with Nixon 63 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: to China, LBJ on civil rights and now Trump on 64 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: the Middle East. Of course, we'll see how this plays out. 65 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 2: This initial deal addresses only a few points of the 66 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: wider piece plan, and the UN Chief Terrists says more 67 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: is needed than silencing the guns. But this initial breakthrough 68 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: is very, very welcome. 69 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: And beed right out. Where's the Pelisades fire? Where are 70 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: we at? 71 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 2: This is stunning this news over the worst bush fire 72 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: in LA's history. The Palisades fire killed twelve people, saw 73 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: the destruction more than sixty eight hundred homes and other buildings. 74 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: Twenty nine year old Jonathan rinder Necked has been charged 75 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: with arson, say officials. 76 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 4: The allegations in the aphidavit are supported by digital evidence, 77 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 4: including the defendant's chat GPT prompt of a dystopian painting 78 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 4: showing in part a burning forest and a crowd fleeing 79 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: from it. 80 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: Here this is weird, weird stuff. They alleged he was 81 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: obsessed with deadly fires. So I've convicted. He faces a 82 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: lengthy prison term. But the the issue is this, he 83 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: sit the fire at a remote site, then the fire 84 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: crews failed to properly put that out, kept burning for 85 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: six days deep underground. Then when high winds whipped up, 86 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: it led to this astonishing devastation. So who's to blame. 87 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: Fire officials say it is the person who initially set 88 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: the fire, not the brave firefighters. Still there will be 89 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 2: many many questions now about what went so very wrong. 90 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: Indeed, you have a good week and Richard will catch 91 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: up next week. Also that cabinet meeting, by the way, 92 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: a number of interesting things were happening. Obviously, the peace talk, 93 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: all the peace talks of the peace deal were being discussed, 94 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: but domestic matters were dealt with. Two in Portland here 95 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: is Christy say. 96 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 5: And met with the governor, met with the mayor, met 97 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 5: with the Chief of Police and the superintendent of the 98 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 5: Highway Patrol. They're all lying and disingenuous and dishonest people, 99 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 5: because as soon as you leave the room then they 100 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 5: made the exact opposite response. So we're looking at new 101 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 5: facilities to purchase. They're in Portland too, and we're going 102 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 5: to double down. And I told them if they didn't 103 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 5: meet our demands for safety and security on the streets 104 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 5: and work with us, than we were going to bring 105 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 5: in more federal law enforcement. 106 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: So she's not for turning. Meantime, Jensen Pang I thought 107 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: made a very video. Of course, he made a very 108 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: interesting point. If Trump's H one B visa plane was 109 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: in place, he never would have made it to America, 110 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: never would have had one hundred thousand dollars. His family 111 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: came out, and what was interesting about his family in 112 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: the bit I didn't know. He was born in Taiwan, 113 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: moved to Thailand. He and his brother arrived in America 114 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: at the age of nine, but his parents only came 115 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: a couple of years later. 116 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 117 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,679 Speaker 2: News Talks at B from six am weekdays, or follow 118 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
