1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Yesterday Trump in the Middle East. This is a piece 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: in the Middle East version nine point zero or ten 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: point er or whatever number we're on now, ceasefire agreement 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: starting to be put into place, hostages, the Israeli hostage 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: return from the Palestinian Samas who had taken them hostage. 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: And obviously all this was a before we get this 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: audio here, it really did appear this time that it 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: was a joint effort. You had Egypt, involved, a whole 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: bunch of different countries. The question is, though, haven't we 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: heard this before? Will it last? Well, of course it's 11 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: not going to last. Do I think that Donald Trump 12 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: can solve thousands of years of religious conflict, of ethnic conflict, 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: of a mythological historical storytelling about these people's histories and 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: backgrounds in the region that ties them and invests such 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: such an emotion in the conflict. No, I don't think 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump can solve that, not in any level 17 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: of permanent basis. But do I think that Donald Trump 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: can at least temporarily bring about a state of peace? 19 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: Sure? And I think part of that is because the 20 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 2: region of Gaza's resources have been stretched so thin at 21 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 2: this point. Israel has pounded them. They have decimated the region. 22 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: It's basically the size of a postage stamp anyway, barely 23 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: the land area of Indianapolis, if memory serves. How much 24 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: longer can these people possibly going They can't have rockets 25 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: and missiles stored underground and enough quantity to keep the 26 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: conflict going, So it just out of logistical necessity, it's 27 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: going to have to come to an end. And it 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: appears we've reached that point. 29 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, because Hamas basically a proxy of Iran, Ron's been hurt. 30 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: You've got, as you said, years of Israel doing immense 31 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: damage to these people. But the thing you're up against is, 32 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: unlike say Saudi Arabia, which has a vested interest in 33 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: personal interest in being accepted by the West, adopting somewhat 34 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: into decent society, able to make money, you're dealing with 35 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: a lot of ideological lunatics when you're talking about the 36 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: Hamas people. And I just don't I want it to happen. 37 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: I want there to be peace, I want there to 38 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: be you know, development out there. I want everybody to 39 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: get along. I think they'd be phenomenal. I just think 40 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: when you've got years and years and years of history 41 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: based around a fanatical belief system. I just it almost 42 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: seems like they always just they go back, they relaunch, 43 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: they reload, and then they come back and you go, well, 44 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: hey didn't two years ago. We all agree we're going 45 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: to get along and play nice with each other. 46 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 2: But I think you hit on exactly the nail on 47 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: the head. The great equalizer here is economic freedom. If 48 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: we can transition this out of you know, fanatical region 49 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: that is tied to religious fanaticism and radical Islam, and 50 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: then move them to a commercial economy. Look, that's what's 51 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: ultimately brought us closer relations with China over the years, 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: is the fact that they have had to drift away 53 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 2: from hardcore communism in order to have a functional state 54 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: and adopt some principles of capitalism. It's the great equalizer capitalism, 55 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: all right. 56 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: So a couple pieces of audio here here is Trump 57 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: saying he thinks he can unite the Middle East. 58 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 3: But the momentous breakthrough that we're here to celebrate tonight 59 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: is more than the end of the war in Gaza. 60 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 3: It's with God's help, it'll be the new beginning for 61 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: an entire beautiful Middle East from this moment forward, we 62 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: can build a region that's strong and stable and prosperous 63 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 3: and united and rejecting the path of terror once and 64 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 3: for all. We want to get rid of the terror 65 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: and get onto other things. There many other things in 66 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: life that's so good. 67 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: And I look in he his mind. He's right, of course, 68 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: but I don't think he understand. I'm sure he does understand, 69 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: But sometimes when he gives these speeches, it's like, do 70 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: you know who you deally with? Like there is nothing 71 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: else for them to get onto? This is the thing, sure, 72 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 1: But what it even matter? Rob? 73 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: Because this is how Donald Trump speaks in superlatives about everything. 74 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: He exudes this level of confidence and he over sells. 75 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: And the way he's talking about Middle East piece is 76 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: the same way he talks about his newest construction project. 77 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Hey, why aren't you guys 78 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: getting along? 79 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: This is stupid, the biggest, it's the most beautiful, It's 80 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 2: the grandest piece deal you've ever seen? 81 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: Have I told you about ten? All right, here's another 82 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: clip of Trump. So Fox News caught up with him, 83 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: and I hope Trump is feeling okay, because I was 84 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised to see all the credit he was giving 85 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: to other people who made this possible. 86 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: Well, we had a lot of great success and a 87 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: lot of great countries that wanted this to happen. You know, 88 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: countries that you wouldn't think guitar was fantastic. Soaudi Arabia 89 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: was fantastic, Uae was fantastic. Jordan, the King Abdullah was. 90 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 3: He just couldn't have been nicer. I call him general, 91 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: but president, you could call him whatever you want, but 92 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: LCCI strong, tough, like an unbelievable guy. They all wanted 93 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: to see this happen. That's the amazing thing. Everybody came 94 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 3: together at this point. If you go back six months 95 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 3: or seven months, it would you would have said a 96 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 3: thing like this is impossible. I mean, we have thirty 97 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 3: five different countries over there, all they're just about all 98 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 3: with their leaders, not just you know, sending somebody over, 99 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 3: and they all wanted this to happen. And I think 100 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: I had a big impact, but you know I can 101 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: have a big impact. If they don't want it to happen, 102 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 3: it's not going to happen. They all wanted this to happen, 103 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: and it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. 104 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: I hope he's right. I just and I noted in 105 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: anyway I would to be a Debbie down. It was 106 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: a great day. I'm so glad those people that were 107 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: still alive were able to get back and reunited with 108 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: their families. Absolutely, that's excellent. But if you can't harlay 109 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: that into sustainable peace in the region, I just don't know. 110 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: You know, at what point do you just throw your 111 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: hands up and go, oh, we're done here, right? I mean, 112 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: how long has the United States been trying to broke 113 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: her peace among these people? And I just I don't 114 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: think when you're so ideologically driven, that you're ever going 115 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: to be able to do that. 116 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: No, I agree completely, but you got to take your 117 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: wins where you can. In the fact that at least 118 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: for the time being, there's not mass carnage and loss 119 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: of life, I think is something that we can all 120 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: rejoice in. 121 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: Okay, real quick. I know this has made the rounds, 122 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: but this is great. So those sea hags on the 123 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: view as usual, this was what this was maybe January 124 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: this was taking place. They were spouting off as they 125 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: do every day, about what a horrible person Trump is, now, 126 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: rotten Trump is and blah, blah blah, and one of 127 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: these chicks like, I gotta freely admit I don't follow 128 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: the View, but I know they kind of have sort 129 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: of a core of people, but then they rotate different 130 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: people whatever. Anyway, Alyssa Ferris, she's one of the people 131 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: on the View. And this was her in January, doubting 132 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: Trump's ability to get done what he has now gotten done. 133 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: And I've no doubt after hear this audio, she'll be 134 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: paying up on her on her obligation. 135 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 4: My point when I say I'm not going to be apocalyptic, 136 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 4: it's not changing a tune, it's not making every single 137 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 4: thing a five alarm fire. If he does good, if 138 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 4: he gets the Israeli hostages out, I promise I will 139 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 4: wear a MAGA hat for one day on the show 140 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 4: and say thank you for doing it. She'll knock it 141 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 4: right off my head. But like we can, you have 142 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 4: to be able to cheer for wins when they happen 143 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 4: and then call out relentlessly. 144 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: The wrong dude. Okay, we'll see right. Seems like he 145 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: held up his into the into the deal here. 146 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: Now it's her turn. Hey, she got off easy because 147 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 2: at least she said she'd only wear the hat. Not 148 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: eat the hat.
