1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: Of course Hammer and Nigel are on vacation today. My 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: name is Casey Daniels and that is Jim that is 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: hanging out with me in the studio. Yesterday, so much 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: attention and energy paid to what was going on in 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: the Middle East and the peace deal and what President 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: Trump was saying, and who he was meeting with and 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 1: all of his travel. Of course, we'll be talking more 8 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: about that coming up throughout the show. But one thing 9 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: that kind of slipped. 10 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: By shockingly slid under the radar, because I thought I 11 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: would have seen a lot more about this. It was 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 2: covered a little bit, but not much. 13 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: President Trump asked President Herzog to give Bebe Nut and 14 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: Yahoo a pardon and then praised him for being a 15 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: wartime leader. 16 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: With you, I guess maybe something could happen that changed 17 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: my mind. Somebody that's really stupid gets into office and 18 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: wants to do really bad things. But that's about it, 19 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: and we don't think we're going to have that happen. 20 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: I hope we're not going to have that happen. And 21 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: this man is a good man right here, These two men. 22 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: Are men right here. 23 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: Hey, I have an idea, mister President, why didn't you 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: give him a pardon. Tell about that reaction. 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was kind of a mixed mixed reaction in 26 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: the crowd. There was some cheers and there were some whooes. 27 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: And I think that seems like that was possibly an 28 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: off the cuff comment by Trump, like that was not planned. 29 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: So this was in the Israeli Parliament when Trump was 30 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: giving his speech, all, you know, the entire world looking 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: upon this, every news outlook covering it live, and uh, 32 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: you know, for some context to this, Benjamin Netanyah who 33 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: has been accused of corruption in his government, and there's 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: been a bunch of Israeli Supreme Court rulings about this, 35 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: and the Raeli Supreme Court said, yeah, it doesn't matter 36 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: that he's Prime minister, we can go ahead and prosecute 37 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: him while he's in office. And so this has actively 38 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: been going on, and for Trump to come out and 39 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: say that, hey, why don't you give this guy a pardon? 40 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: Very provocative and unlike anything we've seen from politicians before. 41 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 2: But in some ways, in some ways, I kind of 42 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: respect Trump for saying the quiet part out loud, because, 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 2: regardless of what you think, politicians have been doing this 44 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 2: kind of thing for a thousand years they've been making back. 45 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: Put it out there. 46 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: He just it was just upfront and honest about it. 47 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, he said on Air Force one during a press 48 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: s gaggle, he said, I didn't want to bring up 49 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: the pardon, but it was just a perfect spot. It 50 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: was good timing. 51 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: And again being honest with ourselves. Politics is all about favors. 52 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: What are you doing for me and what am I 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: getting to return? What do you want for me? And 54 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: that sort of thing. So he just did Benjamin nat 55 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: Yaho a massive favor with mm. 56 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: I just I think it's really interesting the timing on that. 57 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: It was almost like he was reading the room and 58 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: he decided, Yep, everybody's in a good mood. This thing 59 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: is happening. Let's put it out there right now. 60 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: And not by accident. If Trump did this, he did 61 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 2: it very intentionally. Now, he might not have told Netan Yahoo, 62 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: or he might not have told other people that he 63 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: was going to do this, so it could have been 64 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: a surprise to them. But Trump's no dummy. Everything he 65 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: does is very strategic and sounds like NETANYAHUO owes him one. 66 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: Now, so we've got the borders R in town. He 67 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: was in town. 68 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: Tom Holman yeah, borders are. 69 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that coming up. This is the Hammer 70 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: and Nigel Show. It's ninety three w IBC.
