1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Hey, Michael, welcome back. I think it was one of 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: your co hosts. I think it was Ryan actually gave 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: me some really good kudos. He said that he's never 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: going to go up against you, you know, when it 5 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: comes to your knowledge of history. But it really shouldn't 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: be surprising because you were there when it was being written. 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 2: Yes, and it was. It's very I was nervous about 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 2: going to the museum because if you if you have 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: the chance to visit, you should, obviously, because it's it's 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 2: I think for many of us. Obviously my granddaughter is 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 2: not true for her, but I think in the grand 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: scheme of you know, the timeline of history, that is 13 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 2: a seminal, defining moment. There's before nine to eleven and 14 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: there's post nine to eleven. I was surprised that when 15 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: we I was surprised how extensive it was. But again, 16 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: it's still it's still a target. New York's always going 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: to be a target. Right. When you go into the museum, 18 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: you go through literally the equivalent of airport security. Now, 19 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 2: some places you go through security, you like some of 20 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: the museums. You go to the Museum of Modern Art, 21 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: for example, So you go to MoMA it's a much less. 22 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: You know, they were looking in your bag and you 23 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 2: walk through too. I'm not sure that I wouldn't call 24 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: them magnetometers. There are two poles with blue lights that 25 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: I guess just signaled to a guy who's kind of 26 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: half asleep, looking just to see if there's enough metal 27 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: on you that it's going to beat and they might 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: patch you down or not. But I didn't take anything 29 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: out of my pockets whatsoever, and and walk right through 30 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: cell phone and everything. So it's a it's a very less. 31 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: It's less high and security at the museum, it is 32 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: the it is exactly the same. H You don't take 33 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: your shoes off, but you have to take your belts off, 34 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 2: you have to complete the empty your pockets, and you 35 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: I saw people getting wanted. It was TSA all over again. 36 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: Here's what I found interesting about security because I you know, 37 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of the last time I flew 38 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: I flew to Chicago. I didn't notice this when I 39 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: flew to Chicago, but that was prior to if that's 40 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: been what four or five months ago something like that, 41 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 2: so four five months, so since then, you know, they've 42 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: changed the rules, so you no longer take your shoes off, 43 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: so there is less of an incentive. For example, I 44 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: have both TSA. Well, I've got Global Entry, which comes 45 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: with TSA PreCheck, and I have Clear. Now I get Clear. 46 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: I don't pay for Clear because I get Well. I 47 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: don't pay for either one of them because they come 48 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 2: through my credit cards. They reimburse you for it. But 49 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 2: since DHS announced that you no longer have to take 50 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 2: your shoes off, I thought the security was going to 51 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: be a little less strict. Now I always take obviously, 52 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 2: I take my phone out, and I've always taken. If 53 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: I'm wearing the typical belt that I normally wear, I 54 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: take that belt off because it has a metal buckle 55 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 2: and it typically sets off the magnetometer. I got padded 56 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: down both coming and going. Now I've got TSA pre 57 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: check and I have Clear. Now you combine those together, 58 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: they'll take you to the front of the line. You're 59 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: in a TSA pre check line. You don't take your 60 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: shoes off. I put my phone, my belt, and the 61 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: my backpack on in the bucket, send it through. I 62 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: stepped through the magnetometer and it beeps. They make me 63 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 2: go back, walk back through. You They empty your you know, 64 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: are your pockets empty? I said, no, let's see what's 65 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 2: in your pocket. I have one of those alcohol wipes 66 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: that I use on my computer screen. I had chapstick, 67 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: and I had my AirPods. I mean, nothing is metal 68 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: and the metal end my Apple Watch doesn't set anything off. 69 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 2: Air pods don't set anything off. But somehow they've got 70 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 2: it so tightened down now that it's actually worse than 71 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: it was before. At least Mike may My your Miley's 72 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: made very Mine was horrible, horrible experience. So then they 73 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: put me around where it's not the old body scanner 74 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: where you have to put your hands over your head, 75 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: you know, because I used to lie about that when 76 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,119 Speaker 2: when I saw those coming, I would tell them, oh, 77 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 2: I can't lift my left arm above my shoulder, because 78 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: then they'll just send you the Magnetolomea. It was such 79 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: a joke. And they're not gonna question you about it 80 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: because well, now you're getting into you're questioning my handicap. Really, 81 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: I don't think you want to go there. So I 82 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: always just say I can't lift my arm above my 83 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: above my shoulder. But this is not those tss that 84 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 2: these are not the full body scanners. These are some 85 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 2: new scanner that I've got to go research and figure 86 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: out what they are. So you you, you, you face 87 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 2: the screen. You just hold your arms out to the side. 88 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: It's still detected my chapstick and it's now they took 89 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 2: the AirPods out, it's still detected the chapstick and the 90 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: little I mean it's it's it's like a little you 91 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: know what it is. It's it's a little packet that's 92 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 2: got an alcohol wipe in it, like your doctor uses 93 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: the be over to wipe your spot up when they 94 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: give you an injection. 95 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 3: Better yet, for the fat people like I used to 96 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: be the KFC wet nap. 97 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: Yeh, yeah, exactly exactly. It's the KFC wet nap. Then 98 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: the guy pats me down. Oh, I'm sorry, I had 99 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: a I had my TSA or my global entry card 100 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: in my shirt pocket. It's plastic. It's plastic, there's nothing 101 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: to it. But when he's patting me down, he feels that. 102 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 2: He says, what's in your pocket. I'm show him the card. 103 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: He tells me, you should have taken that out. I said, why, 104 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 2: because we detected something in your pocket. I mean it 105 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: was a cirtuitous answer. I mean, he's a circular answer. 106 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 2: Then when he passed me down, I get to the 107 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: chapstick and the KFC wipe. Do you know what he 108 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: asked me, show me what's in your chapstick. I was 109 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 2: so pissed off by that point. I pulled the cap 110 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 2: off and I stuck in his nose. I mean, I 111 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: got it, like right up, mixtures like you don't blame me, 112 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: smell it, you a hole, smell of this now. Shoes 113 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: were never an issue. I kind of thought my sneakers 114 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: might be an issue, but no, that was an issue. 115 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: It was that I had a plastic my Global entry 116 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: card in my shirt pocket and I had chepstick in 117 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: a wipe in my other pocket. It's gotten worse, not better, 118 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 2: in my opinion. Then I thought, oh, at LaGuardia, I thought, well, 119 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: I've learned my lesson. I took everything out. I thought, 120 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: surely the chapstick and stuff, you know, maybe that was 121 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: just a fluke. Nope, same thing. So despite having pre 122 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 2: checked and clear, I get the rectal examination, and oh, 123 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: show us what your chopstick is. Really you want to do? 124 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 2: You need some here? You can have it? You know, 125 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: I'll just go buy I'll go buy another, you know, 126 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: for ninety nine sense of the story. You can have 127 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: your own. It's absurd, absolutely absurd. So don't think that 128 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 2: Scott and Better has gotten worse my experience. I would 129 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: be curious if if if you're a road warrior and 130 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: you do that, are you experiencing the same thing I 131 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: didn't experience when I went Chicago the forest. I want 132 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: to I want to hear whether you have By the way, dragons. 133 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: Speaking of road warriors, you said we heard from our 134 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: favorite jew. That is true. 135 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 3: Yes, we were talking a little bit about the No 136 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 3: National No broad Day when Caldera was filling in on Monday, 137 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 3: and apparently that is tied to breast cancer awareness. And 138 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 3: John tied that to, you know, breast cancer awareness is 139 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 3: that pink color and wondering what other because he's talking 140 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 3: about other all the other cancers have their own colors 141 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 3: and whatnot. And he was curious as to what color 142 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: prostate cancer was, and I was like, well, it's got 143 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 3: to be brown, right uh. 144 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: And of course you. 145 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 3: Moved on that from that, But the next commercial comes up, 146 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 3: and we take those commercials and then our favorite Jeud 147 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: did leave a talk back and say, the prostate cancer 148 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 3: color is blue, I believe. 149 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 2: Okay, so any indication of how he's doing. 150 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 3: He did not say if he was doing good, our bad. 151 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 3: He just stated the fact that he does have prostate 152 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 3: cancer and the color is. 153 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: So he's still alive. So that's that's we know that though. 154 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 3: I'll take that as a win. 155 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, they absolutely take that as a win. There was 156 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: something else, No, I think that. I think that's it. 157 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: It was interesting because New York has such a you know, 158 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: strong or wide Jewish population. It was interesting to read 159 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: the local newspapers, which pretty much do anyway, and to 160 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 2: see some of the news about what happened in the Middle. 161 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: I'm not going to be by him being skeptical, but 162 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 2: what I want to do is I want to give 163 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: you some ideas about what's going to happen here. You 164 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 2: may have seen that the speech that Trump gave to 165 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 2: the Kanessean, the Israeli equivalent of Congress Parliament, was one 166 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 2: of his you know, let's follow the teleprompter, but then 167 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: let's go off teleprompter too, So it was pretty much 168 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 2: one of those you know, free wheeling, you know, just 169 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 2: stream of consciousness kind of speeches. He did turn to 170 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 2: the Israeli president at one point and say pointed to 171 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: Benjamin net Yahoo, the Prime Minister, who is sitting in 172 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: in the audience, and says to the President, you should 173 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: pardon that guy. I really like him. He's one of 174 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: the great war presidents. And he's done, you know, a 175 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: fantastic job. And you know because Nat and Yong was 176 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: facing some some lawfair himself. So so Trump then leaves 177 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: and goes to Egypt. He came, he solid conquered. I 178 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: mean he was. It was a true hero's welcome by everybody. 179 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 2: He greeted the hostage hostage families and the hostages themselves. 180 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: Then when he went to Egypt, that's where they actually 181 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: signed the and I'm just going to say peace deal 182 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: for now. It's really just a cease fire for now, 183 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 2: but it's got the framework for a piece deal. And 184 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: it was it was a I thought it was a 185 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: moving speech. You think about the fact that he had 186 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: twenty seven countries that were there, and they were all 187 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 2: there because they want to push the next phase of 188 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: this twenty point plan. And of course he wanted to 189 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: take a victory lap, which he always wants to do. 190 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 2: Even Time magazine, He's pissed off about the Time magazine 191 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 2: cover because it's a shot for below and you and 192 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: you can't see his hair, and he's all mad about 193 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: the photograph. But Time, even magas magazine, had some some 194 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: comment about some some of the effect this is his moment. 195 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 2: I mean Time gave him kudos for it. I mean 196 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 2: that that's a shocker. But think about this. So the 197 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 2: guns are silent, they're they're still silent, and least as 198 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 2: of this morning, the reliefs supplies which have always been 199 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 2: pouring into Gaza are now pouring into Gaza, but actually 200 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: getting into the to the people that need them. The 201 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: the IDF troops, the Israeli defense forces have pulled back 202 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 2: to the areas that have been agreed upon. The twenty 203 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 2: survivors were released at lee. At last count. Four of 204 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: the twenty eight bodies of the dead, one turns out 205 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: not to be one of those, which are we surprised 206 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: by that, And the others say they will be returned 207 00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 2: when they find them, which means they may never find them. 208 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: That spikes the release of the hostages. That is the 209 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: spiking of the football for the most powerful weapon the 210 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 2: Hamas had. Now what in return for that the Israelis 211 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: released some two thousand so called Palestinians, a lot from 212 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 2: a mosque, some even serving life sentences for murder. They've 213 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 2: been released and turned backed. I think Trump's personal promise 214 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 2: that Israel would retreat to these agreed areas. You may 215 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: have seen some of the photographs of them coming across 216 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: and just flooding back into this completely. I shouldn't think 217 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 2: there's some areas have survived, but truly a demolished, dystopian 218 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 2: world where homes and businesses are just rubble, like the 219 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 2: rubble of Ground zero. It's just true rubble. 220 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 3: Do you see those zombie apocalypse movies. 221 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it was. That's exactly what it looks like. 222 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: Let's think about how this came about. So one of 223 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: the key ingredients was the culture of New York business. 224 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 2: Jared Kushner, the President's son in law, served in Trump 225 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 2: one point zero, is serving here, but not in an 226 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 2: official capacity. He's got very deep relations in the Arab world. 227 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: Steve Whitcoff, a businessman friend of the president, somebody that 228 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 2: Trump says, you know, he's really smart, really good. But 229 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 2: the thing that the reason he chose Steve is because 230 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: everybody ends up liking Steve Whitcoff. Whitcoff, He's just a 231 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: guy that everybody likes. His goal was to deliver what 232 00:14:51,800 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 2: Trump wanted, the president himself, you know, all everything that 233 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: he learned in the boardrooms, in the c suites of 234 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: the bankers that he did loans with which, by the way, 235 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: never got fraudes. So Letitia James bite my ass. He 236 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: knew how to get to Yes, he knew how to 237 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: get to what he wanted. Kushner describes himself as a 238 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: deal guy, just like his father in law, and says 239 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: that deal making is a sport, but it's a different 240 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 2: sport from diplomacy, which is also a form of a sport. 241 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 2: You take what you can get from the key players 242 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: with whom you form close relationships, as Trump's demonstrated when 243 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: he acknowledged all of you know, almost everybody he knows 244 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: personally and didn't worry about the details. Later. Well, now 245 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: come the details, and with the details comes where my 246 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 2: skepticism moves in. I'm not convinced this is a bright future. 247 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: You see the televised you know they were showing on 248 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 2: with some of the build wards in Times Square. Fox 249 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: News is running on their cairn outside they're building on 250 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: sixth Avenue. You see the image of all these twenty 251 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: seven nations all gathering to applaud Trump. Hamas did not attend. 252 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: The attendance of BB Netanyahu at the signing in Egypt 253 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: got mixed by the Egyptian president. Nah take that back. 254 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: I think it was the Turkish president Erdawan did it, 255 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 2: and Ertawan threatened to not show up if Netanyahu showed up. 256 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 2: So some of these underlying hatreds still exist. Now, crucially, 257 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: the Iranians announced support for ending the genocidal wars they 258 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 2: called it, but they're going to continue to back Hamas, 259 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,479 Speaker 2: and they're going to back Hamas, according to the Iranians 260 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 2: if Israel, if Israel continues their expansionist and racist plans. 261 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 2: So those deep sea that hatreds all still exist. But 262 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: Molas promised to rearm their proxies throughout the region, so 263 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: they're going to be equipped to continue their battle to 264 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 2: destroy Israel. Never mind that Trump's warned them that he's 265 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 2: ordered twenty eight you know, as he calls them beautiful 266 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 2: new B two bombers, and that, you know, in kind 267 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 2: of a kind of an Arnold Schwarzenegger tone, you know, 268 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 2: I'll be back. If you do anything to interfere with this, 269 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 2: I'll be back. So all the deep sea that hatred 270 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: still exists, then you've got the problem with the positions 271 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 2: that have been taken by Hamas and net and Yahi. 272 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 2: Hamas's one of their leaders, says that the proposed weapons 273 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 2: turnover is out of the question and not negotiable. 274 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 3: Good morning, Michael and Dragon. Michael, glad you're back. 275 00:17:59,119 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 2: Welcome back. 276 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 3: You may have answered it already, but inquiring minds would 277 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 3: like to know, did you end up doing the backpack 278 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 3: with the leash on it? 279 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: Have a good day? No, No, I'll tell you what. 280 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: You know, grandfathers and granddaughters are obviously a very special relationship, 281 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 2: and you know, just look with your daughters too. You're 282 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: just very very protected. But once I saw her and 283 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 2: her adaptation to New York City life, I was not 284 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: I shouldn't say I wasn't worried at all, but my 285 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 2: anxiety level just dissipated because nobody was going to mess 286 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: with her, and so yeah, I didn't worry about it 287 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 2: at all, not at all. There were even when like 288 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 2: like there was one obnoxious guy that kind of kept 289 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 2: accosting her and we were just walking along and she 290 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 2: she just kept ignoring him, but he just kept bugging. 291 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 2: She finds she didn't say anything, at least I didn't 292 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: hear anything, but she's turned around. She must have given 293 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: him the stink eye because he immediately backed off them. 294 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 2: So she must have that look like missus Redbeard and 295 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: Tamra have that, you know. Oops, don't f with me. 296 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 2: That's right, monster, move away, move away. So back to 297 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: this peace deal, and I'm not trying to be Debbie Down. 298 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to be again. I'm just trying to 299 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: live in the real world about this. So Hamas's political 300 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 2: bureau has announced that the turnover the weapons, in other words, 301 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: disarming of Hamas is out of the question and not negotiable. 302 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 2: In fact, that's the quote, out of the question and 303 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 2: not negotiable that Yahoo's promised that if a Moss does 304 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 2: not disarm, they're no further compromises. No, I don't know 305 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 2: what that means, but no further compromises. Now, there are 306 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 2: rumors floating around. I haven't checked again this morning, but 307 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 2: at least yesterday there were some rumors floating around that 308 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: Israel might offer amnesty to the Hamas fighters if they 309 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: do surrender their weapons decommission their weapons. The head of 310 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: Masade has made it clear let every Arab mother know 311 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 2: that if her son took part in the massacre, he 312 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 2: has signed his own death warrant. Now, Israel obviously intends 313 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 2: to treat these Hamas fighters as it did the terrorists 314 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 2: that assassinated the Israeli athletes at the Olympics back in 315 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy two in Munich. They're going to hunt them 316 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 2: down and assassinate them, no matter where they are or 317 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 2: how long it takes them to do that. So if 318 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 2: anybody was hoping that a cease fire, not a peace deal, 319 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 2: but a cease fire would eventually reduce the hatred between 320 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 2: the Gosins and Israel, I, just think that's totally unrealistic. 321 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 2: And in all those thousands of Gosins that you see 322 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 2: trekking across Godzins of their former homes are just going 323 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 2: to find that debris and then they're you know, think 324 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: about that, you I saw it in disasters. People would 325 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: people would be you know, they would evacuate, they come 326 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 2: back and they you know, they have hopes of hopes 327 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 2: that their house even though they've seen the weather reports, 328 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: they've seen the news coverage, they've seen everything, they still 329 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 2: had hope, which is the human condition, that their house survived, 330 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 2: That maybe all their neighbors or houses are gone, but 331 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 2: theirs would survive. Goslins are human beings too, so they're 332 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 2: coming back hoping that they'll see something, but they're not. 333 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 2: You know, most of them are going to find that 334 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 2: everything's been completely obliterated. That's going to turn to anger 335 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 2: at some point, and then they're gonna get angry when 336 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 2: they start thinking about family members that they can't find, 337 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 2: friends that no longer exist, they're gonna get pissed off. 338 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 2: Now there's euphoria right now in Israel. You saw the cheering, 339 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 2: you saw the crowd, you saw the reception that Trump got. Well, 340 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 2: when you start hearing the horror stories about what the 341 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 2: Gosins I'm sorry Hammas did to the hostages, when they 342 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 2: start relating their stories to family members in the press, 343 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 2: in the media, think about the anger that's going to 344 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: grow about that. Today this very moment, Hamas remains in 345 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 2: charge of governing Gaza the Israeli press, so take that 346 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: from what it's worth. The Israeli press is estimating that 347 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: somewhere between sixteen to twenty thousand Hamas fighters survived and 348 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: that they're now actually killing internal opponents. So what does 349 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 2: that indicate to me? That indicates to me that they're 350 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: trying to just like Sodom Hussein when Sodom Hussein took 351 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 2: over the Bath Party. There's this, I'm sure you can 352 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 2: find it online. There is this video where he's called 353 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 2: all these party members together and they're in this giant 354 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 2: auditorium and he's up there, he's got somebody next to him, 355 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 2: He's got people spread out around the along the sides 356 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 2: of the auditorium, and he starts calling out names of 357 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 2: individuals that he believes was involved conspiring with Syria to 358 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: prevent him from taking office. He calls them out, they 359 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 2: are taken out, one by one and they're executed. That's 360 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 2: what Hamas is doing. Why would why does Sadam Hussein 361 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: do that one to intimidate everybody and to solidify his power, 362 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 2: to solidify that he was in control. So why is 363 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 2: Hamas killing some of their their what they believed to 364 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 2: be are internal people that may have secretly one of 365 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 2: the cease fire or that we're just cooperating because they 366 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 2: wanted to live whe now they're dying. And then what 367 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 2: about this international peacekeeping force. I don't know that peacekeeping 368 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 2: forces always keep the peace, and I don't think it's 369 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 2: realistic to believe that, you know, Trump's dream of turning 370 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 2: Gaza into this beautiful seaside resort on the Mediterranean, I 371 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 2: just don't think that that's that's certainly not going to 372 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 2: going to emerge in my lifetime. Now, if it does, fantastic, 373 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: but I don't think it's going to. So this birth 374 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 2: in Gaza of some sort of thriving modern city. You know, 375 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 2: it's not going to turn into Riyad. It's not going 376 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: to turn into Abu Dabi or Dubai. I just don't 377 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 2: think that's going to happen in my lifetime. And even 378 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: if it were, the Israelis are going to object because 379 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 2: what does it take to build a city. It takes concrete, 380 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: it takes steel, it takes construction workers, it takes for example, 381 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: if you're going to build a high rise, what do 382 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 2: you have to do? You have to dig into the ground. 383 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 2: One of the most stirring things for me, having been 384 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 2: in the pit at ground zero, was where the museum 385 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: is they preserve some of the retaining wall that kept 386 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 2: the water from the Hudson from coming into when it 387 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 2: was a parking garage and the shops and everything were 388 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 2: down below in the plaza. That some of that wall 389 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 2: still remains. Well, that wall. If you're going to build 390 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 2: high rises in the Gozza strip somewhere, based on where 391 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: it's located, you're gonna have to dig down deep and 392 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 2: put up retaining walls and that requires concrete and steel, 393 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 2: rebar everything you can possibly imagine to keep the Mediterranean out, 394 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 2: but also to support the building. And then hmm, there 395 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 2: was the ability to go from ground zero. I'll never 396 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 2: forget this. There were There were obviously the path train 397 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 2: that came into where ground zero was, and then you 398 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 2: had the subway stations there, and then you had tunnels. 399 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: Most people don't realize it, but there were tunnels so 400 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: you could to a certain perimeter, You could live and 401 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 2: work in that area and never go outside because of 402 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 2: the network of trains, tunnels and subways. What and how 403 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 2: did Hamas survive tunnels? If you start to rebuild, how 404 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 2: are you going to how are you going to prevent 405 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 2: tunnels from getting rebuilt? Or at least you know, if 406 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 2: they can steal food and aid uh, they can steal 407 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 2: concrete and rebar too, and then they can start rebuilding 408 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: their tunnels and make sure re manufacturing some of the 409 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: some of their weaponry. The United Nations, for what it's worth, 410 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 2: estimates that cost it least fifty billion dollars to rebuild Gaza. Now, 411 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 2: Trump's looking to other countries in the Middle East to 412 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 2: open their wallets and do that. But they haven't yet, 413 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 2: Saudi Arabian, the United Arab Emirates, they haven't even agreed 414 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 2: on the structuring the governing structure yet. And you're gonna 415 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 2: have to have a governing structure in place before the 416 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 2: rebuilding age's going to flow in because someone's going to 417 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: have to oversee it. Again, going back to nine eleven, 418 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: simply because it's on my mind, is you know, we 419 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 2: put up an entire process and hired I can't remember 420 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 2: the guy's name now, but he was very famous for 421 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 2: having being able to distribute funds for all of the 422 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 2: health issues at ground zero. Well, you're going to have 423 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 2: to have someone that's going to oversee all of the 424 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 2: fifty billion dollars. Is that Tony Blair? I don't know. 425 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: Tony Blair might be too busy building and he's going 426 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: to need somebody alongside him to oversee all of the 427 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 2: cashes can have come in. But so far, the Arab 428 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 2: countries haven't said, oh yeah, well, you know, we'll pony 429 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: up for you know, if it's going to cost fifty 430 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 2: billion dollars. The Saetis haven't promised you know, half of it. 431 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 2: They haven't promised ten percent of it. They haven't promised 432 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 2: anything yet. Now I've seen some estimates again from the 433 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: United Nations, that there are fifty million tons of debris 434 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 2: and then it might take twenty years to get all 435 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 2: the debris out. Now, I think that's I think that's tood. 436 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 2: I don't think it'll take that long. If Now, for example, 437 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: again you think about Ground Zero, they estimated a couple 438 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 2: of years or more. We got it done in several months, 439 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: We got it within we got it earlier than scheduled, 440 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 2: and we got it done under budget. Now, whether that 441 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: was a good thing to do or not do it 442 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: was an interesting conversation I had yesterday while I was 443 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: with James and of those people at the museum. So 444 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 2: there are all of these other things that nobody is 445 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 2: really thinking forward about I shouldn't say none of us 446 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 2: out here in the public I think of thinking about it. 447 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 2: I'm sure internally that the Secretary of State and his team, 448 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: that whit coffin his team, and I'm sure that the 449 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 2: Israelis and the Arabs, whoever part of these groups, they're 450 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 2: all thinking about these things. But so far, no answers, 451 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 2: just lots of questions. And I know it's early, but 452 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 2: we had to recognize that while it's early, these are 453 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 2: things that have to be answered if the cease fire 454 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 2: is going to stay in place and he could fall 455 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 2: apart at any second. You must have fluent to Tita Borough, 456 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 2: didn't you. Yeah, My Gulf Stream flew into tita Borough 457 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 2: and the Blimo and the driver picked us up up 458 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 2: and drove us in, you know, and we stayed at 459 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 2: the plaza. You know, I get I I was gonna 460 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 2: get a one a two bedroom suite, but you know 461 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 2: that was like five grand a night. Instead, I decided 462 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 2: to just get two separate rooms for you know, three 463 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 2: thousand dollars a night, you know, so we can have 464 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: our own rooms the plaza. I can remember staying at 465 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 2: the plaza, like I don't know, thirty years ago. It 466 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 2: was probably I don't know, maybe two hundred dollars a night. 467 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 2: We thought that was expensive. Yeah, to the t Borough. 468 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I did not do. I did 469 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 2: not fly into Newark, no way. But I wasn't even 470 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 2: to fly into Newark. So back to this piece deal. 471 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 2: I don't want anybody to think that I'm opposed to it. 472 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to be really. Everybody's ecstatic, which which 473 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 2: is fine because they got the hostages back, they're still 474 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 2: looking for the bodies. But it's it's it's kind of 475 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 2: like we never stop and think about all the other 476 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 2: stuff going around because the news media's got their lens 477 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: focused on just you know, the celebratory things going on, 478 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 2: and I'm thinking, I guess it's just perverted me. I'm 479 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 2: thinking about the rubble. I'm thinking about when those families 480 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 2: come back in and they can't find anything. I'm thinking 481 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 2: about the hamas terrace. Just like Sadam Hussein, They're they're 482 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 2: out killing their own now. Uh. They they say they're 483 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: not going to disarm Israel says that's a deal breaker. 484 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,959 Speaker 2: So all of that's still going on in the background, 485 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 2: and then who's going to manage this place. It's it's 486 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 2: not going to just recreate itself. And I think those 487 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 2: other Arab nations Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, into you know, 488 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 2: Indonesia is a part of this. The you know, the 489 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 2: largest Muslim country in the entire world. They all need 490 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 2: to be a part of this. And they're really going 491 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 2: to create a new Gaza city, a new Gasan territory. 492 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 2: And nobody talks about Nobody says, hey, what about this 493 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 2: or that? You think the media And of course even 494 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 2: if the media did ask the question, now they get 495 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 2: some bs answer. You know, speaking of cease fires North Korea, 496 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 2: you know that war is still active. It's just a 497 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: ceasefire that's still still held for more than seventy years.
