WEBVTT - 10-8-25 Midweek Crisis with Dan Carroll 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.400 All right, back on the Big one seven hundred WLW, 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:14.360 Dan Carroll till midnight tonight. We call this the Midweek 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.440 Crisis Wednesday Night edition. Joe Waddell is running the big 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.360 board in the seven hundred WLW command center. The Uh. 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.239 The phone lines are open right now, five to one 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.400 to three, seven four nine, seven thousand one, eight hundred 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:29.600 the Big One are the numbers to call if you 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.199 want to get on board. And right now I'm fiddling 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.640 with the mouse on the computer because the mouse does 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.720 not want to work. And there we go. The computer works, 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:44.559 but the mouse does not. That is fantastic, So I 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:49.200 can't make the computer do anything. All right, Uh three 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.440 seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred, the Big 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.560 One numbers the call if you want to get on board. 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.880 The breaking news tonight, Trump announces Hamas and Israel have 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:01.040 agreed to the first phase of the Gaza peace Deal. 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.800 And that is a that is a big deal. I 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.800 think there's a lot of caution that you have to 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.200 have on a on a deal like this, especially when 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:16.399 it happens in phases. I do not look at the 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:21.160 Hamas negotiators as being very trustworthy. I certainly hope Trump 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:25.640 did not jump the gun on this. Jared Kushner and 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:31.119 uh and uh Witkoff were the the main drivers of this. 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.600 They were the ones doing all the meetings in the 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.000 Middle East. So there's I think there's a lot to 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:42.360 be hopeful for, especially with the hostages being released. Here's 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:47.160 what the President said tonight. Let's see, let's see if 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:51.840 I can find his the post that he put out. 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.040 And I've got the mouse working again, so there there 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:55.240 you go. 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:55.640 I was. 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.000 I was fiddling with the mouse and I got it 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.080 to work, so that. Let me see, let's see if 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:02.680 the post comes up. 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:03.040 Here. 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.320 Here we go. Here's what the President put out a 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.360 little while ago. I am very proud to announce that 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.720 Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.320 phase of our peace plan. This means that all hostages 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:18.000 will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.880 troops to and agreed uponline as the first steps towards 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.320 a strong, durable and everlasting peace. All parties will be 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.160 treated fairly. This is a great day for the Arab 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.640 and Muslim world, Israel, all surrounding nations, and the United 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.359 States of America. And we thank the mediators from Qatar 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.520 Egypt and Turkey who worked with us to make this 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:49.240 historic and unprecedented event happen. Blessed are the peacemakers. Donald Trump, President, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.760 United States of America. So that's a statement that the 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.359 Trump put out on truth social just what I think 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.840 a couple of hours ago, just shy of a couple 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.320 hours well, let me see six point fifty one, so 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:05.760 just over a couple of hours ago. Very important. And 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.920 if this happens, if this actually comes to pass, that 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:16.200 peace is achieved, that the hostages are released, that Hamas 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:23.480 follows through on. And my understanding is is that the 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.880 Israeli lawmakers will have to sign off on this at 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:33.279 some point during the day tomorrow, in the day ahead. 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.160 But you have to be cautious on things like this 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:45.240 because as long as I've been alive, I can remember 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:51.200 presidents trying to bring peace to the Middle East and 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:55.920 it just simply has not happened. If it happens under 0:03:55.960 --> 0:04:01.080 this president, how can he be denied? How can he 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.720 be denied a Nobel Peace Prize? I think it's a 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:10.480 legitimate question. So we will see what happens. But this 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:14.480 this is going to happen in phases, and you just 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.039 have to hope, and I think we all have to 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:22.360 hope that this simply just does not fall apart Phase 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.719 one release the hostages. And there was a there was 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.800 a twenty point plan that came out on this and 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.719 this was one day last week and I had had 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.479 on Sheryl Chumley and I actually had the plan in 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.840 front of me, and we were talking about this plan, 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.400 and we were talking about some of the points in 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.640 the planet and the whole notion that Hamas is going 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:51.039 to disarm. Does anyone see that happening? And essentially they 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:56.480 have to disarm and disband and no longer be in power. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.480 Hold on type, I'm trying to type and talk at 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.119 the same time. See if I can get the twenty 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:08.279 point plan. Let me see for for Gaza, Let's see 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.920 if it comes up. Let's see, let's see, let's see, 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.520 let's see here it is here, here we go. This 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.440 is the this is the twenty point plan and there 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.240 and there's a lot going on here. So the idea 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:27.160 that they had negotiations to begin with, the United States 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.680 does not negotiating with terrorists, at least that was the 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:34.920 policy at one time. So it's going to be there. 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:38.159 There's so much that's interesting about this. It's good. That's 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:43.039 going to be interesting to to to find out about 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.080 how all this worked and how many moving parts are 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:46.440 in play. 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:46.680 Here. 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.039 Gozwill Here's point number one. Gozel will be a de 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:55.040 radicalized terror free zone that does not pose the threat 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.680 to its neighbors. Goza will be redeveloped for the benefit 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.040 of the people of Gaza, who have offered more than enough. 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.480 Point number three if both sides of this. If both 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.760 sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.279 Israeli forces will withdraw to an agreed upon the line 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.159 to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:20.680 military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.279 Battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.680 the complete stage withdrawal. Within seventy two hours of Israel 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:32.320 publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased will 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:37.359 be returned. So in that part, the release of the 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:43.920 hostages will be something that is monumental. I believe. In return, 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:53.159 they're talking about the release of prisoners from Israel. Israel 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.719 will released two hundred and fifty life sentence prisoners plus 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.479 seventeen hundred Gossins who are detained after October seventh, twenty 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:06.520 twenty three, including all women and children detained. In that context, 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:10.920 for every Israeli hostage who remains, who remains are released, 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:16.840 Israel will released the remains of fifteen deceased Gazas. And 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.760 so this goes on and on and on. Let me 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:25.040 there's a They talk about a transitional government economic planned 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:30.720 Trump economic plan to rebuild and re energize Gaza. No 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.920 one will be forced to leave Gaza. Those who wish 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.239 to leave will be free to do so and return. 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.960 Hamas and other factions agree not to have any role 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:44.000 in the governance of Gaza. I mean, I think it's 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.320 going to be And this is what I want to 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:51.120 hear about these negotiations, The idea that Gaza in Gaza, 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.560 that Hamas is going to give up power, that these 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.360 known terrorists are going to lay down their weapons and 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:04.720 mean it and actually do it. I think none of 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.080 this happens if the Abraham Accords were not in place 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.160 to begin with, and there were not there was not 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.920 the support of other nations in the in the Middle East. 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.840 Jimmy is in Richmond, Indiana. He's got some thoughts on this, 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:23.400 and Jimmy, welcome to seven hundred w W. Yeah, what 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:23.960 a joke. 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.640 They're not going to agree, They're gonna They're not going 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:27.880 to fulfill their agreement. 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.600 Uh well, I think I think that's what history teaching. 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.960 My wife and I talked about if we had kids 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.559 in there. Oh yeah, you want them back, you want 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:43.760 them back desperately. But this is not going to be 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.360 cured until we level that place and get rid. 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:53.359 Of a moth period. Well, and that that's the things 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.640 that this notion that Hamas is no longer going to 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:03.520 be empowered or even even even threatened anyone point number seventeen. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:07.640 Is this In the event Homas delays or rejects this proposal, 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.600 the above, including the scaled up aid operation will produce, 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.600 will proceed in the terrify areas handed over from the 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:22.000 IDF to the ISF. Let me see, so they're talking 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:26.000 about more aid going into Gaza to help those who 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:31.120 have been affected by this war. And we know that 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:35.240 the aid that has already been sent in there by 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:39.040 and large has been stolen by Hamas for their own purposes. 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:43.680 So the largest portion of that aid never got to 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.720 the people that it was intended for. So, I mean, 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.440 you're really you're dealing with a bunch of You're dealing 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:54.240 with a bunch of lawless thugs here who just carried 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.720 out and you look at you know, yesterday was the 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:03.120 anniversary of the October seventh attack, and I was reminded 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.120 once again by some of the video I saw just 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:13.520 how how barbaric and how subhuman these attacks were on 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:19.120 on you know, these unarmed innocent people in Israel. I mean, 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:23.960 it was absolutely it is. It is beyond words, how 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.160 horrific and how barbaric it really was. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.000 Yeah, why Israel was so soft in the beginning two 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:34.959 years ago? How could this even happened? How could it happened? 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.440 Israel? God great defense? 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.920 And I'm not belaving in historil, but yes I am 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:41.360 in a way. 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:42.160 How could this. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.520 Even happen for them to come over the border and 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:50.240 do this. Now you're down to twenty five lies and 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:54.720 you're wanting to make all these concessions, and again my life, 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.080 and I think what it was your kid? I know, 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:02.440 but sometimes the mortars they're going to be heroes. I say, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.920 level the playing field and get rid of them, be 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:05.679 done with it. 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.000 Well, that's what Netan Yahoo I talked about when this 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.880 first began, is that is that Gaza needs to be 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:18.240 completely wiped out, that there can be there can be 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:25.680 nothing left. And so for him to stop short of 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.160 that goal, or move the goal post on this, or 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:33.720 move the finish line on this it to my way 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:38.240 of thinking, it's a little disappointing, but you have to 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:42.800 deal with the reality of the situation. So we're going 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.959 to see what happens, and so you have to proceed 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:53.120 I think with just an abundance of caution here, one 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:57.720 step at a time. Let's sign the deal, Let's put 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.240 the pieces in place, Let's get the hostages really east. 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:06.440 And then after that, if they go ahead and agree 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.280 to the rest of us, the rest of this, the 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:13.800 aid starts flowing, they lay down their weapons, they surrender power. 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.120 Who knows what could happen, but that's what's happened. That's 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.560 what's happened tonight. Coming up on the show tonight, my 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:32.440 buddy Eric Methaney of the great podcast Bob and Eric 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:38.880 Save America. We'll be here. He is a great commentator 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:45.520 on the passing scene. The Jack Smith revelations that came 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:51.199 out a couple of days ago, or a day or 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.160 so ago, or maybe I guess it was. It was 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.960 mostly yesterday that all the Jack Smith stuff came out, 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:02.480 and uh, and we learned that, you know, this guy 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:08.160 was surveilling and looking at the personal communications of phone 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:13.640 calls of a number of Republican senators and it just 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.959 goes And I've talked about this, I don't know how 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:22.040 many times about the absolute thoroughness of the corruption of 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:28.800 the Bid Deministration, and this just underscores it in ways 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:35.559 that are breathtaking ways that the biggest scandal of our 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.959 lifetime was Watergate, but all these things that the Bid 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:47.280 Deministration have been involved in make what Watergate look like 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:51.640 child's play. It is absolute child's play compared to the 0:13:51.679 --> 0:14:00.120 things that the just the absolute degradation of great American institution. 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.480 And I think about what's going on. James Comy pleaded 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.440 not guilty in court today, which perfectly fine, He's entitled 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.520 to do that. But I hear I've heard so many 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.040 you know, left wing commentators try and make the case, well, 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.200 this is you know, this is Trump and he's just 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:29.640 seeking retribution on his political enemies. And James Comy, let's 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:33.280 not forget James Comy was the head of the FBI. 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.760 He should not have political enemies, nor should he have 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:44.680 political allies. The work that he was supposed to do 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:50.600 and the work that you hope the FBI does, should 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:56.400 be non political. But James Comy allowed, under his leadership, 0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:01.840 the FBI to become politicized. I think you have to 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:08.520 remember that when you hear this, this crutch that that 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:13.200 gets relied upon whenever you hear the reporting about Trump. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.840 I heard I heard on on the radio earlier today 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.840 when I was listening to the news, James Comy, if 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.800 I pleaded not guilty to the charges of you know, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.000 obstructing Congress and whatever the other, the other the other charges, 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.360 and then they, of course they followed up with well 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.840 and then Donald Trump just a few days before this 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.120 told Pam Bondi that he needed to see some action, 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.080 needed to see some some prosecutions happen. And so that's 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:50.840 what happened. Well, these are legitimate charges that Comy is facing. 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.840 And guess what, there's going to be a trial. Maybe 0:15:54.840 --> 0:16:00.240 he'll be found guilty, maybe he won't. But the the 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:06.200 big difference here is that these charges were not drummed 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.920 up during the course of a political campaign. They weren't 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:15.440 created by a fake, false, phony dossier that was the 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.200 basis for FISA warrants and all the rest of it, 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.800 warrants that the FBI knew were false and got signed 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:29.480 off on repeatedly, so they can carry out this highly 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:34.840 politicized operation and the law fair against the Trumpster. So 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.920 this notion that he's carrying out a political vendetta is 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.120 I think complete nonsense, at least when you look at 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:45.840 it on the facts. We got to get to a break. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.160 It's nine to twenty four. My buddy Eric mcthaney's going 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.040 to be here after the news at the bottom of 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:52.600 the hour, so we are looking forward to that. Hope 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.440 you can stick around for that as we roll on 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.560 till midnight tonight on the Wednesday night edition of The 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:13.720 Midweek Crisis on seven hundred seven hundred WLW nine thirty seven, 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.399 Dan Carroll till midnight tonight, the Wednesday night edition of 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.960 The Midweek Crisis. So glad you are here, and so 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:21.800 glad my next guest is here. I've had him on 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.439 many times before and I just love love getting his 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:28.520 commentary on things. He's an attorney of podcaster, a social commentator, 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.879 co host of the Bob and Eric Save America podcast 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.400 and Eric mcthaney. Great to have you again on seven 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:35.439 hundred WLW. 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:37.320 Hey, thank you for having me. 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.960 Let's talk about the breaking news tonight. Donald Trump announces this, 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.439 I guess the at least the first phase of a 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:50.200 deal between Hamas and in Israel. What do you make 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.159 of this? And I was talking about this in the 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.800 first segment and I was just saying, look, if he 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.600 actually pulls this off, I don't know how he can. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.760 He denied a Nobel Peace Prize, But I think we 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.320 have to proceed with extreme caution here. What say you? 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.440 Well, I think first thing, we're going to see tomorrow 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:10.920 all the offense in the Atlantic saying why piece in 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.600 the Middle East is a bad thing. So the Democrats 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:15.240 are going to have to figure out a way real 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.200 quick to make this out to be, you know, white supremacist. 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.640 Trump makes more loving people in the Middle East succumb 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:27.560 to peace. I mean that's look, he said that that's 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:29.880 what he was going to do. And again this goes 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.080 back and we've beaten the dead horse. But it's so simple. 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.440 He is a businessman, he is a negotiator. This is 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.879 this is why he's here. This is why he beat Hillary, 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.520 why he beat Jeb Bush, why he beat the political establishment, 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.639 because we were sick and tired of it on both sides, 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:47.960 and we brought in a guy from the private sector 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:51.400 who's got no political experience, but he's a businessman, he's 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:54.280 a billionaire. The guy knows how to make deals and 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.760 that's what he's known for. And he of course, yeah, 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:58.520 and you know we're not jumping into it. We're not 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:00.480 going to go celebrate too soon. This could fall apart 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.080 in a day or two. But I mean Trump is 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.800 doing it. He's making it work, and regardless of where 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.200 you are politically, I mean, this is something to a 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.520 plaud And yeah, if this is everlasting piece or even 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.199 ever lasting this last six months, give the guy the 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:16.760 Nobel Prize. I mean, this is incredible. Biden couldn't do it. Really, 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:18.919 no president before him has been able to do this 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:24.520 and leave it to Trump. You know, he's tried it, 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.679 and I think he's working on it with Ukraine and Russia, 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.440 but you look at all the other places in the world. 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.080 He's bringing peace. I mean, he really is. He has 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.480 the ability. When you sit down with guy, I don't 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:34.960 care who it is, and everyone says, oh my god. 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:36.880 He coses up to Putin. He cooses up to this guy. 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:40.600 Trump will sit down with anybody if it means accomplishing 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:42.199 a goal, if it's a means to an end, And 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.359 when you meet the guy and you stand face to 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.840 face them, he's got an ability to be I'm the 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:49.159 President the United States, I'm a billionaire, I sleep with 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.840 a supermodel. But for this moment that I'm talking to you, 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.520 You're the only human being on the planet. They some 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:58.800 politicians and some very charismatic people are blessed with that ability. 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.480 He's one of them. He could just he could look 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.440 at you and like the world around you just drowns 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:05.639 out and he has your full attention. You know who 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.080 can't do that, by the way, And I like him, 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:09.879 and I feel bad Ron de Santis can't do it. 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.800 Ron de Santis. There's something about him that when he 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.000 meets to face, as he is scanning the room trying 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.919 to get away from you, he's very socially awkward and uncomfortable, 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.080 which is one of the reasons why he can never 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.000 take on Trump. I like to see him working together, 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.760 but he will never unsee Trump. He doesn't have the 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:26.879 ker chrisma to do that. 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.880 Yeah, it's it's in the DNA. It's a just an 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:33.040 innate characteristic, you know, it's a I used to play. 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.240 It reminds me of a guy I used to play 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.480 pick up basketball with and every once in a while 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:40.320 he just walk up to you and give you what 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:42.480 we call a little titty twister, Right, just do something 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.320 annoying as hell like that. I mean, but somehow he 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.800 was able to get away. If I did that to someone, 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:50.880 I mean, oh hell would break loose. But this guy, 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.520 for whatever reason, he was able to do that and 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:55.880 get away with it. And it's just one of those 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.440 those characteristics that you're born with and there's no rhyme 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:01.320 or reason about it. But you know, I look at 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:03.200 I'm looking at I was talking about this twenty point 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.840 plan before you came on, and the whole notion that 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:08.359 how do you get your head around this notion that 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:12.000 Hamas is voluntarily going to give up power, They're going 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:16.120 to lay down their weapons, They're going to, I guess, 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.199 just disband and disperse into the ether. How do you 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.720 get your your head around that that that that is 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.040 actually what you know that this is going to be 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:28.080 the final chapter of Hamas and that some some new 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.440 government will be uh, it will be brought into into 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:35.560 play there in Gaza, and Gaza will be uh. You know. 0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:38.840 I think they called it a Gaza lago on the 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:42.520 on Fox News earlier tonight. With the redevelopment and all that. 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.480 How do you get your head around the notion that 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:49.719 this hardcore barbaric terrorist organization is simply going to let 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:50.560 itself go away. 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.600 Well, that's the thing. It's not. And look, they're not 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:56.160 going to wake up. It's not going to be hands 0:21:56.160 --> 0:22:00.400 across you know, Israel tomorrow. What we're dealing with here 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.560 predates the existence of the United States. This is an 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:07.240 age old, fourteen hundred year old conflict. It's an ideological 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:11.040 conflict that goes back to biblical times. And we, with 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:14.640 our you know, American might, all we can really do 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:18.720 is we can incentivize and we can threaten. I don't 0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:21.040 care about the I don't care what their thoughts and 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:23.159 prayers are. I don't care what their feelings are. I 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.160 don't care if they like each other or hate each other, 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:27.199 as long as they behave I think about it like 0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:29.359 the law, and I work in the law and I 0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:31.960 can tell you one thing. The only thing that keeps 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:35.160 us safe as a society is fear of consequences, because 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:37.760 the other alternative to that is believing that humans are 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:40.879 inherently good, which they are not. So I like to 0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.560 think that the fear of consequences, if you do this, 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.520 something bad will happen, keeps people in line. And let 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:48.880 that be what keeps Hamas in line. If you do this, 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:51.280 these bad things are going to happen. If you do 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:53.919 this positively, then these good things will happen. There has 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:56.199 to be a little given and take. And again, you know, 0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.000 Israel's got to be willing to compromise too. I mean, 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:01.399 the Palace Indians have a right to exist and the 0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:03.479 Israelis have a right to exist. So they have to 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:05.919 figure out how to occupy this space together. And if 0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.520 it means give a little, get a little. Frankly, I 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:10.440 don't care how they slice it up, as long as 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:13.439 everybody can live peacefully and we can co exist, and 0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:16.560 we could, finally after eighty years of this nonsense been 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:18.239 going on to that part of the world move on. 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.560 So whatever the reason may be, whatever leverage Trump has 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.120 over them, I don't care as long as it keeps 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:24.600 them in mind. 0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:28.960 Yeah, all right, let's talk about the revelations that came 0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:32.200 to light this week. I think we've pretty much been 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:36.399 convinced of the depth and breadth of the thoroughness of 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:39.520 the corruption of the Biden administration. But it was made 0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:43.639 even more vivid this week with the revelations about what 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:47.680 the FBI was doing, what Jack Smith was doing. When 0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:52.600 you talk about surveilling these sitting members of the Senate, 0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:58.840 them and all Republicans, just the level of corruption. You know, 0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:02.520 I talked about Watergate before. I mean Watergate is mere 0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:06.560 child's play. I think Eric Methaney compared to what we've 0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:10.160 learned about the Biden administration by the revelations it came 0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:10.920 to light this week. 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:14.720 I look at Watergate the way that we look back 0:24:14.760 --> 0:24:16.800 on our middle school pictures and go, how could I 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.080 have ever dressed that way? To look back on Watergate, 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:20.840 you go, we had peached to president or we almost 0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.280 in peach. We had a president resigned for that for 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:26.480 a hotel breaking. Come on, that's that happened three times 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:30.560 last Tuesday. I mean, that's like, it's so crazy how 0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:34.280 far we've come. And Yeah, the Biden administration, I think 0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:37.000
