1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Hey guys, we are back on Normally the show with 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: normalis it takes for reviews gets weird. 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 2: I Ammerica thinks, and I'm Carol Markowitz, and we are 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 2: in a government shutdown, Mary Catherine. 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 3: Can you feel the fear in the streets. 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: We are indeed in a government shutdown. Look, people don't 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: really care that much about them anymore. Yeah, because it 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: happens pretty often, and it usually gets repaired pretty quickly, 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: and it can cause inconvenience for people. 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 4: But the many, like. 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: Actually problematic political things are usually sort of sequestered from 12 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: the shutdown, so that that stuff goes out, like social Security. 13 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's going to notice or remember or 14 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: care by twenty twenty six that this happened. They will remember, Yeah, 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: in Virginia during this governor's race. I do think that 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: is a is a possible political cost. 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: Our friend Sonny Wright tweeted the government is shut down, 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,279 Speaker 2: except they'll continue to collect tax and continue to send 19 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: out welfare, and most federal employees will continue to work, 20 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: and all government functions considered essential will continue uninterrupted, and all. 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 3: Bureaucrats will get back pay. 22 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: We've sent five social media interns home and closed the 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: bathrooms at some national parks. Is what I'm getting at, 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 2: which is, yeah, pretty much what's going on here? 25 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 4: Well, and here's the thing. 26 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: Even at this point, the many journalists have had to 27 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: admit that, like, Republicans gave Democrats what they always ask for, yep, 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: which is called a clean continuing resolution, a clean CR. 29 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: That means that for a brief period of time, you 30 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: extend the current level of funding for the government without 31 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: any partisan Christmas tree of the bill. So the House 32 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: passes that, it goes to the Senate. The Senate is 33 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: welcome to pass a clean CR and there won't be 34 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: a shutdown, right, But the Democrats in the Senate refused 35 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: to do so, except for a couple who they did 36 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: lose on that vote, who went the Republican way and 37 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: voted for the funding bill. And Republicans in the House, 38 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: i mean Democrats in the House were making this big. 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 4: Fuss like where are Republicans They've adjourned. It's like, yeah, 40 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 4: because they did their job. 41 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: Republicans in the House did their job and passed it 42 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: over to the Senate, and the Senate chose not to 43 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: The Democrats there chose not to do that, so they 44 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: did shut down. The problem for Democrats is that they 45 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: are negotiating and doing battle over a shutdown, which they 46 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: don't want because they love government to operate in right 47 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: all the ways and even in ways it doesn't operate, and. 48 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 4: Just pay it for that anyway. 49 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, they're negotiating with people who don't care. 50 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's tough. 51 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: The Washington Post editorial board has a shutdown column today 52 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: and they say left wing Democrats, like the Freedom Caucus 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: before them, enter the shutdown in a position of weakness. 54 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump and his Budget director Russell Vote now 55 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: have extraordinary authority to choose which agencies to close, what's 56 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: bending to prioritize, and even which government workers to lay off. 57 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: As Trump warned. 58 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 5: On Tuesday, we can do things during the shutdown. 59 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 3: That are irreversible. 60 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 4: Whoopsie, you don't think RUSS has a plan for this. Yeah, 61 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 4: RUSS has a plan for this. 62 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: Russ Bisha has been thinking about this for a decade, yep. 63 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: And the fact is, yes, they can make changes. They 64 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: can fire people instead of furlowing them. They can get 65 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 1: rid of bureaucrats that they don't want. They could later 66 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: replace those bureaucrats with their bureaucrats, which is a real 67 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: weakness of Republicans from the past is that the federal 68 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: government is staffed with largely left leaning bureaucrats, so this 69 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: is like not a great plan. 70 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 4: The reason that they went forward with. 71 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: The shutdown, and again I don't think it's going to 72 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: last super long because they already lost some Democrats in 73 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: that first vote. The reason they did it is because 74 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: when Schumer past a continuing resolution in the spring, he 75 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: got it from the left base, and he's afraid that 76 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: he's going to get taken out in a primary if 77 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't fight, fight, fight hard enough. 78 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's definitely on Schumer's mind. Matt Whitlock of Ten 79 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: Minute Drill, who has guest hosted on normally in the past, 80 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 2: had a really great summary of what is happening and 81 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: how crazy the Democrats have gotten. 82 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: Let's roll that clip. 83 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 6: Democrats did the interesting strategy of laying out the fact 84 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 6: that they would accept blame for this because their base 85 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 6: was itching for a fight with President Trump, so they 86 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 6: were supportive of running into a government shutdown. But what 87 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 6: we've seen since then, in the last two weeks is 88 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 6: Democrat leaders getting cold feet. The facts here are this 89 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 6: is a clean continuing resolution. It follows on spending plans 90 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 6: that Democrats had previously voted for thirteen times with nothing 91 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 6: new added to it. But a part of Democrats' strategy 92 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 6: and trying to reframe this and try and potentially blame Republicans, 93 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 6: has been to bring in other issues, for example, healthcare 94 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 6: subsidies set to expire at the end of the year. 95 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 6: Republicans have said we can negotiate those ahead of the 96 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 6: end of the year, but Democrats adding them into this 97 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 6: debate right now is just an effort to try and 98 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 6: save face and reframe this debate. The bottom line that 99 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 6: we all understand here is the fact that Democrats have 100 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 6: followed their base as they've led them to their lowest 101 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 6: approval rating in history. But the other most important dynamic 102 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 6: to understand here is that as Democrats have painted themselves 103 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 6: into this corner, their rhetoric has made it more difficult 104 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 6: for their leadership to find any kind of exit strategy. 105 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 7: Here's Chris Murphy, we have no moral obligation to pay 106 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 7: the bills for democracy's destructions. 107 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 6: So as you hear that kind of insane rhetoric from 108 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 6: Chris Murphy, remember he has voted for this budget thirteen times. 109 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 6: So when he says it funds the destruction of our 110 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 6: democracy according to his own rules, he has voted to 111 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 6: destroy democracy thirteen times. Again, absurd, cartoonish nonsense, but it 112 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 6: highlights the fact the Democrats have painted themselves into a 113 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 6: very tough corner that any sort of solution they get 114 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 6: to get out of this, they're going to get attacked 115 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 6: by their own base, because people like Chris Murphy and 116 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 6: AOC have said that they're going to fund the destruction 117 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 6: of our democracy. 118 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: A word on this healthcare fight, because unlike most people 119 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: who cover the healthcare fights and covered Obamacare, I have 120 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: been subject to Obamacare. I've had to be in the marketplace, 121 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: and I predicted everything that would happen to me in 122 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: the marketplace, including losing my plan four different times. 123 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 4: And that my premiums would go up, and you. 124 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: Could have predicted my out of pocket costs would go 125 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: up and all that stuff would happen, and that we 126 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: would you enter this death spiral in the. 127 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 4: Marketplaces that would make everything worse for everyone. And in fact, 128 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 4: that's what happened. 129 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: And the way that Democrats have decided to solve the 130 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: fact that Obamacare did exactly what its critics predicted it 131 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: would do, is that they have thrown subsidies at the marketplace. Now, 132 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: the subsidies, as in any other area where government subsidizes, 133 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: makes every one's stuff more expensive and just tries to 134 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: hide the fact that it's more expensive with all your money. 135 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: So during COVID the Biden administration, people were like, let's 136 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: make more subsidies for Obamacare so that we can cover 137 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: this up in perpetuity. 138 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 4: But what they did was say, oh, it's just temporary, 139 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 4: just temperary. Yeah, don't worry about it. 140 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna give forty billion a year to insurance companies. 141 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: But it's totally temporary because we're an emergency, right, they 142 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: set it to expire. It's supposed to expire. Now they 143 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: don't want it to expire because they love government spending 144 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: and they don't want people to see what their subsidies 145 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: were hiding, which is like that Obamacare didn't work and 146 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: everyone's premiums are. 147 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 4: Going up, and so they want to extend this stuff. 148 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 4: But it is crap. 149 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, part of the way they extended 150 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: it in the past is to get rid of citizenship, 151 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: like checking requirements to get rid of the requirements for 152 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: checking your income, so you end up with phantom rollies, 153 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: fraudulent enrollies, double enrollies, illegal enrollies in all these things 154 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: so that they can go, look how many people were. 155 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: Covering, right, and how that drives up the price for everybody. 156 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: It's just such an extension of every failure of Obamacare, 157 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: and they want to do it on your dime, and 158 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: they want to act like it's solving a problem, when 159 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: in fact it is making the problem worse. 160 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 4: Yeah. 161 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And by the way, also one more thing, when 162 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: they say, oh, this thing about illegal immigrants is not real, 163 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: first of all, check all the medicaid press releases from 164 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: states like New York and states like Oregon that say 165 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: come on down and get your free insurance illegal immigrants. 166 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: Check the tape on all the Democrats saying yes, we would. 167 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 4: Like to provide that. 168 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 5: That's right. 169 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, we'd like to provide that. 170 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: And then follow the money and how they got rid 171 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: of verification requirements. 172 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 3: That's absolutely right. 173 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: And it just they expect American people not to care 174 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: that this is what they want to fund. 175 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 3: And American people do care. 176 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: And I think the Republicans don't often find themselves in 177 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: the popular position where the media is concerned. But they're 178 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: in that position right now because the Democrats have gotten 179 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: so fringy, and I. 180 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 5: Don't know how does this end. 181 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: Does it end with the Democrats bending well? 182 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: As Matt notes, their rhetoric makes it really hard for 183 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: me to do so. But I think, look, there's already 184 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: a couple of Democrats who are like, what are we 185 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: doing here? And I think it's more painful for them 186 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: for the government to be shut down than it is 187 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: for Republicans who have kind of like learned. 188 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 4: To roll through these things. 189 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: And look, now it will have the effect of possibly 190 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: changing the Virginia governor's race because Virginia is very responsive 191 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: to federal action, and if a bunch of people are fired, 192 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: that will give fuel to Alison Abbi el Spamberger, who 193 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: is the Democrat running over wins some seers. 194 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 4: So I think that's a risk. 195 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: When this race had been getting very tight, I saw 196 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: one point past three points. That's a risk, And in 197 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen that did change the race in Virginia when 198 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: the Ted Cruz Obamacare shut down happened back then. So 199 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: we'll see, But I just don't know how long they're 200 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: going to sit around and have their precious government closed. 201 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 3: It could be tough for them. 202 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: We'll be right back on normally where we will talk 203 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's twenty point. 204 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 3: Plan for peace in the Middle East. 205 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: And then we'll get to how you shouldn't marry your 206 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 2: first cousin. 207 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 4: Why not? 208 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: But first, it was nearly two years ago that terrorists 209 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: murdered more than twelve hundred inno cent Israelis and took 210 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty hostages. 211 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 4: Today it seems as if the. 212 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: Cries of the dead and dying have been drowned out 213 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: by shouts of anti Semitic hatred and the most brutal 214 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust has been 215 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: forgotten in some places. Yet is the world looks away? 216 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: A light shines in the darkness. It's a movement of 217 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: love and support for the people of Israel called Flags 218 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: of Fellowship, and it's organized by the International Fellowship of 219 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: Christians and Jews. And October fifth, right around the corner 220 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: across America will prayerfully plant an Israeli flag and honor 221 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: and solidarity with the victims of October seventh, twenty twenty three. 222 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: And they're grieving families. I know you'll want to be 223 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: a part of this. To get more information about how 224 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: you can join the Flags of Fellowship movement, visit the 225 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: Fellowship online at IFCJ dot org. 226 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 4: That's IFCJ dot org. We'll have more coming up on normally. 227 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: Right after this, we are back on normally to talk 228 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's twenty point plan on Israel. And when the 229 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: plan first hit, I was a little bit on edge 230 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 2: about it because Qatar doesn't really seem like a friendly 231 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 2: force to either the United States or to Israel, and 232 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: yet they're super involved in this plan making. But I 233 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: am feeling better about it. I read through the twenty points, 234 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: I think that Israel. I look, I'm pro Israel to me, 235 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: I read this through a pro Israel lens. But I 236 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: also want the Palestinians to have a sane and normal future, 237 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 2: which seems constantly out of reach because of their supporters. 238 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,599 Speaker 2: And right now, the quote unquote supporters of the Palestinians 239 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: in the West are telling them to reject this peace plan, 240 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 2: and I find that to just be galling. 241 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 4: Especially tell yeah, really once. 242 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: Who are like it's a genocide, don't accept the ceasefire 243 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: like it really you know, kind of could only be 244 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 2: one of the other. 245 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 5: Tom Cotton tweeted President Trump's peace. 246 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: Plan will end the war in Gaza. Arab states are 247 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 2: in Israel. Is in Dems like Bernie Sanders and Chris 248 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: van Holland have spent years vilifying Israel and demanding an 249 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: end of the war, but now they're silent. They should 250 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: back this peace plan, and I agree with. 251 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: That they should, and they should encourage their friends on 252 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: the progressive left to encourage their friends in Gaza. 253 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 4: Maybe to do that, to do that. Yeah, because this 254 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 4: is uh. 255 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: I think this is an illustration of how unconventional thinking 256 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: on the Middle East can change the game. This is 257 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: one of the things I really like about Donald Trump, 258 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: even when I was more critical of Donald Trump. The 259 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: Abraham Accords were a result of breaking from this stupid 260 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: conventional wisdom that the entire foreign policy diplomatic brigade had 261 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: had for all these years. And he was like, maybe 262 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: let's just do it differently. 263 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 5: Right, Maybe let's not do any of this anymore. 264 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: Maybe let's move the embassy and it won't cause World 265 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: War three. 266 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 4: And that's what happened. 267 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: And I think that Israel, out of necessity, has been 268 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: incredibly strong and smart in many many ways during this war, 269 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: including going after Hamas folks in Gutter, which changes the 270 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: calculation on what Gutter needs to do on the world stage. 271 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: They're not just sitting over there all pristine anymore. Yeah, 272 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: We're going to put your harmasc guys and your terrorists 273 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: and high rises and give them room service. Not impervious anymore. 274 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: How about you come along and try to make this 275 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: work right? 276 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 277 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 2: Dan Seignior, who is the author of Startup Nation and 278 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 2: he's the host of the podcast Call Me Back. I 279 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: consider him a very sober voice on everything that's going 280 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 2: on over there. He says he's hopeful and says this 281 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: deal is different from the others. 282 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 5: Let's roll that clip. 283 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 7: Many of you have asked, why won't this just fall 284 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 7: into the same pattern we've seen in the past where 285 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 7: everyone agrees to it, including Hamas, or Hamas agrees to 286 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 7: in principle, and then Hamas tries to negotiate or over 287 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 7: negotiate and put forward unreasonable demands and then the whole 288 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 7: thing falls apart. That could happen, it's certainly been the pattern. 289 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 7: Why I think this time is different one the Trump factor. 290 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 7: President Trump is leaning into this in a way that 291 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 7: he's not leaned into any deal in the past. He's 292 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 7: putting his name on it. He's putting his name and 293 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 7: his office in an official role in the implementation of 294 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 7: the deal and the implementation of the day After plan, 295 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 7: and that sends a big message. It raises the stakes. 296 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 7: It shows that he's spending political capital big time in 297 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 7: a region where he has a lot of political capital 298 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 7: and a lot of relationships. The Arab capitals and Turkey 299 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 7: have to live with Trump for the next three and 300 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 7: a half years. This is not a president who, in 301 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 7: the last gasps of his administration while he's walking out 302 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 7: the door, is trying to secure a legacy through peace processing. 303 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 7: This is a president who these capitals throughout the Middle 304 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 7: East are going to have to live with for the 305 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 7: next three plus years, which we may explain why you 306 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 7: have Trump, Natanya, who basically the entirety of the air world, 307 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 7: plus Turkey and most of Europe all lined up together 308 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 7: on one side. Who would have thought and they're all 309 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 7: pointing at Hamas saying do the deal. 310 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: There's no other way to look at it as other 311 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: than Trump has done something pretty miraculous here, and I 312 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: hope that Hamas takes this deal. I hope that Israel 313 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: succeeds in getting their people back. 314 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 3: Look, you know, we all want. 315 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: Peace, and the idea that this war should end is 316 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: one that you know, all. 317 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: Of us feel deeply. 318 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: I hope that the Palestinians can throw from us out 319 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 2: and start again with a new leadership. 320 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: Sometimes I'm hopeful, other times less. This deal gives them 321 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 3: a chance, and I hope that they take it. 322 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope so too. 323 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: It gives Israel, if it worked as planned, hostages back. 324 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: It gives them buffer zones that would make them feel 325 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: comfortable as the day after plans are implemented in Gaza. 326 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: It gives the Arab States a stake in making that work. 327 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: And you'll notice there was no daylight on stage between 328 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: net and Yahoo and Trump. 329 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 3: I did notice that. 330 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: In the past Trump has sort of had some words 331 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: about like, well, things don't look great in Gaza, and 332 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: how can we work on the food situation? You know, 333 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: things like that where he got sort of gassed up 334 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: by that little Siah about yeah, about the food. And 335 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: in this case he was like, nah, you got to 336 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: take my deal or else they get to do whatever 337 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: they want. 338 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, And I appreciate that about Trump, I really do. 339 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 3: I think he sees this clearly. 340 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: And look, there's nobody that goes to Israel and walks 341 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: away being like these people don't want peace with the Palestinians. 342 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 2: Every Israeli I know, left and right, wants peace with 343 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 2: the Palestinians. 344 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: And as we've noted many times before, perhaps the people 345 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: most invested in proactive about seeking peace were killed. Yeven 346 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: those folks were out there like flying kites and sending 347 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: sweet messages and making music about peace yep on October sixth, 348 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: and they wanted peace on October sixth, and then October seventh. 349 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 3: That's right. 350 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 2: You and I were at the Kubwit scene where that happened. 351 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: We saw they had their homes were still preserved with 352 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: all the peaceful messages, and they. 353 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 3: Were all murdered. So yeah, I. 354 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: Think we're in a better change place than these past deals. 355 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, as you pointed out the beginning 356 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: of the conversation, but we should reiterate, mass has been 357 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: the one that has rejected all my deals. 358 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 4: Even though by. 359 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: The way, they are getting Hamas terrorists out of Israeli 360 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: jails in exchange, they keep rejecting them, not Israel. 361 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, And the concern right now is that Hamas 362 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 2: is going to reject it. It's Israel has already accepted it. 363 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 2: All the Arab states are for it. Everybody's just waiting 364 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 2: to hear what Hamas is going to do. You know, 365 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 2: it's hard to think like a terrorist group. But the 366 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: reason that people don't think that they're going to accept 367 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 2: it is because the hostages are their only leverage at 368 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 2: this point, and if you give back the hostages, they 369 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 2: don't have any So. 370 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 3: It's it's really tough. 371 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 2: It's it really becomes a question of do they want 372 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 2: to see this war continue? And are the Palestinians going 373 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 2: to rise up against Tramas and say no more? 374 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: And they have tried at times, by the way, and 375 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: we will get video occasionally of Palestinian civilians being mowed 376 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: down by Tamas for daring to speak out. By the way, 377 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: those atrocities don't get a lot of coverage now, they 378 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: don't know where we are in press. We don't spend 379 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: a lot of time amping up the gosen street of 380 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: people who would like to push back on Hamas. 381 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 4: And maybe we should do more of that. Guys that'd 382 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 4: be good. 383 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be right back with more on normally and 384 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: kissing cousins. We are back on normally and the UK 385 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 2: is really losing it. 386 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 3: I don't know what is going on. 387 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 2: Over there, but their National Health Service a few days 388 00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: ago published a report saying that first cousin marriage are 389 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 2: actually not that big a deal, and you know, overlooking 390 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 2: previous thinking on the subject. They wrote should the UK 391 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: government ban first cousin marriage? 392 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 3: And they said that there were. 393 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 5: Some benefits to first cousin marriage, including stronger extended family 394 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 5: support systems and economic advantages because you share grandparents, that's 395 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 5: why you have a closer and stronger extended family support system. 396 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 5: Doesn't make it not super gross. 397 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: But also what about the fact that and nobody knows 398 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 2: this better than people who have royalty and Britain's right 399 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: at the top of that list the increased risk of 400 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 2: inherited diseases. 401 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 3: There's just a lot of problems with marrying your cousin. 402 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 3: I say, don't do it. 403 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.

It was published by accidents, 409 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: publish my mistake. Nonetheless, like we stand by some of 410 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: these facts about first cousin marriage. This is an indication 411 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: that culturally the UK is succumbing to incoming immigration standards yep, 412 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: one of which includes a lot more cousin marriage. 413 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 4: Which is a thing from Alabama, which you're together, not 414 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 4: from Alabama. 415 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: This is the thing you're not allowed to say, which 416 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: is why the UK is saying and its official capacity 417 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: cousin marriage good, which strikes me as like in the 418 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: cycle of like the things not happening and if it's happening, 419 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. 420 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 4: Actually it's happening and it's good. 421 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, right right, we are at that stage with the 422 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: cousin marying. 423 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's super weird. The Tories, that's the Conservative party. 424 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 2: They accused Starmer of taking the need to damaging and 425 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 2: oppressive cultural practices. 426 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 3: That's really what it is, right, It's the bending. 427 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 5: Your culture to the incoming culture. 428 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 2: And again, look, you know I made the joke about royalty, 429 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,719 Speaker 2: but you know, yes, we know that in royalty there 430 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 2: has been a lot of cousin marriage and so it's 431 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 2: not that Britain didn't have some of this before, but 432 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 2: they are adjusting to a cultural shift in their own country. 433 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 3: Sometimes I think that. 434 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: They should fight back a little harder against allowing this 435 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 2: kind of thing and not. 436 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 3: Just bend over. 437 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: And I know that there's a movement for that in England. 438 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 2: Tommy Robinson very famously is leading these marches, but just 439 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 2: the NHS involvement, and this is the ickiest part for me. 440 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 2: It's like it's not enough to just be like we're 441 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 2: going to look the other way because look, it's legal 442 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 2: in certain states as well. 443 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 5: I'm not saying that this this is out of nowhere. 444 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 4: It's the valorizing up yeah, yeah, and this is this 445 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 4: is the thing that's happened with. 446 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: Several scandals in the UK is that authorities look the 447 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: other way. In this case, it's less like overtly hurtful 448 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: than other like fresh violence. They look the other way. 449 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: They sweep it under the rug. They don't admit that 450 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: it's happening, because in order to admit that it's happening, 451 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: you have to say that this cultural standard is different 452 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: than the UK cultural standard and it's bad. Yeah, that's 453 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: the thing you have to say. And they are not 454 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: willing to say that because the woke mindset and the 455 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: left mindset in Europe and in the UK is all 456 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: these things are equal. 457 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 4: Right, we can't.
