1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Third hour, Clay and Buck gets going right now, Thanks 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: for being here with us. Bottom of the hour will 3 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: have Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, joining us. 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 2: He's got a movie out he wants to talk. 5 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: To us about Cruiser Ali says is excellent, so we 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: are looking forward to talking about it. We've also got 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: the breaking news today of a deal in principle agreed 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: to between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire in the 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: Gaza Strip. This looks like it could be the end 10 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: of the fifteen month long war which began with the 11 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: horrific mass terror attack, mass casualty terror attack by Hamas 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: against Israel October seventh. And there's the exchange of hostages 13 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: that is likely to happen here. We don't know exactly 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: what the. 15 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: Timeline is for that. 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: A lot of people that are pointing out that this 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: happening right before Trump takes office to be pretty strong, 18 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: a pretty strong indicator for Trump is part of the 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 1: catalyst here. 20 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: Hamas does not want to go. 21 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: Into a situation where Trump feels like they are not 22 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 1: listening to what he made a very clear threat about, 23 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: which was you better return the hostages or I'm gonna 24 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: unleash holy hell on you. Essentially one other noteplay. Inflation 25 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: has ticked up to two point nine percent, they're saying, 26 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: and this is Wall Street Journal, underlying price gains are muted. 27 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: You know, inflation is still not where it's supposed to be. 28 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: And given the inflationary run up we had under Biden's 29 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: time in office, that is something that yes, sir. 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 2: No, no, you're right. 31 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 3: I was just going to add in I think it's 32 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 3: twenty one point seven percent. It's increased while Biden was 33 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 3: in office. Here is something that I think is alarming, 34 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: and I know a lot of our listeners out there 35 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: have noticed this. Mortgage rates haven't come down at all. 36 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 3: As the overall lending rate has come down, the Fed 37 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 3: funds rate has come down massively. Usually those move in concert. 38 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 3: What the market is telling us is inflation's not beaten, 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 3: to your point, and thirty year mortgage rates are back 40 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: up to seven percent. That is crippling to a lot 41 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 3: of people out there in terms of being able to 42 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: afford home. So I think that's maybe the most significant 43 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: thing that the market's telling us. It's inflation's not going away, 44 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: and we haven't beaten it yet. 45 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: Yes, So we're still still dealing with that, still handling 46 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: that situation, and hopefully going to get more of a 47 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: more of a handle on it here in the Trump administration. 48 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 2: But you know, maybe maybe I'm feeling a little. 49 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: Bit of the nostalgia here, Clay, But I wanted to 50 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: take a moment to preview the farewell address of President 51 00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden tonight. A five decade long career in politics. 52 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: He's going to be giving a speech at eight Easter 53 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: eight pm Eastern Time, and he's trying to lay out 54 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: his legacy. Now, I'm not going to be overly charitable 55 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: in my view of Biden. I've always thought I've always 56 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: thought that it's remarkable that he managed to create a 57 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: perception of him as a well, particularly in the latter years, 58 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: is like a friendly grandfather when. 59 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: Really he's a bully, a jerk. 60 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: And somebody who will do absolutely anything for political power, 61 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: serve the interests of credit card companies more than any 62 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: other constituency as a senator from Delaware, not somebody who 63 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: I think has anything to point to in public life 64 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: that has been particularly successful or selfless. I think the 65 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: biggest legacy, though, of his four years in office is 66 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: I think the whole thing is essentially overshadowed by people 67 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: will be for years to come talking about how we 68 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: had a senile president or a dementia patient president for 69 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: four years and it finally all collapsed and created a 70 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: massive credibility hits for Democrat media, the Democrat Party. I 71 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: think that the collapse of Joe Biden, Joe Biden's cognition, 72 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: if you want to put it that way, is the 73 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: single biggest story of his four years as president. Maybe 74 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm open having my mind changed, though here 75 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 1: is that completely ties in with what you're talking about. 76 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: CNN just released their final pull of Joe Biden's presidency, 77 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: and the numbers are devastating for anybody out there that 78 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: has any positive take. We were talking about the historic 79 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: legacy of Biden and what it would be. I think 80 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: yesterday on the program or a couple days ago. He's 81 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: giving his farewell address tonight as he gets ready for 82 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: his ride off into the sunset a CNN sixty one 83 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: percent of the people in the CNN poll considered Joe 84 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: Biden's presidency of failure. Failure is sixty one percent. That's 85 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: tough to pull off, Buck, When you're talking about half 86 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: the country eighty one. Every time I feel like we 87 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: have to say it in the future, we have to 88 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: put quotation eighty one million voters for Joe Biden in theory. 89 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, sixty one percent of people in America 90 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: consider his presidency of failure. Just thirty three percent view 91 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden favorably, fifty eight percent unfavorable, and only thirty 92 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: six percent of Americans approve of his presidency as he 93 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: leaves office. Putting that in context, the only president in 94 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: the modern era who has left office with lower rates 95 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: of approval George W. 96 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: Bush during the Iraq War and with the. 97 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: Whole financial crisis collapsing around him in two thousand and 98 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: eight two thousand and nine. That's the only president in 99 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 3: the modern era who has been anywhere near as unpopular. 100 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: Even Trump after jan sixth was more popular leaving office 101 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: than Biden is right now. It's pretty staggering indictment of 102 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: everything that Joe Biden did during his tenure. And to 103 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: your point on inflation, I think I think it's twenty 104 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 3: one point seven percent increase in the cost of goods 105 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 3: on average. Obviously, many things cost more, some things cost less, 106 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 3: but an average increased price since he came into office 107 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: of twenty one point seven percent. And it's the best 108 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: analogy you've heard on this buck. It's like putting on weight. 109 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: When you put on weight. What Biden's trying to do 110 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: in his inaugural, in his farewell addressed tonight, is he's 111 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 3: going to try to say we beat inflation. Well, the 112 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: market doesn't really agree, as we just talked about, with 113 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: seven percent mortgage rates for thirty years. But also all 114 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 3: he's done is slow the rate that he's putting on weight. 115 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 3: So you don't get fit by putting on forty pounds 116 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: and then saying, hey, this year I only added five more. 117 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 3: That weight is embedded. That's inflation. This twenty two percent increase, 118 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 3: twenty one point seven percent increase is never going away. 119 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 3: You feel it every time you go buy something. And that, 120 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: to me is the legacy of Biden. 121 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: And I think that it's interesting that you don't even 122 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: really have Democrats lining up alongside Biden on this to 123 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: solidify the legacy or to make the case that you know, 124 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: this has been a great presidency. I think they're still 125 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: all very disoriented and somewhat stung by what just happened. 126 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: They pushed Biden aside, they put Kamala forward. Kamala got destroyed. 127 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: Hard to think of how the election could have gone 128 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: much worse for Democrats, the total political damage all of this. Wait, 129 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: Biden's speaking right now. Oh yeah, he's talking about the 130 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: hostage deal. Oh he stopped. Okay, So Biden was speaking 131 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: about the hostage situation. I was making sure I was 132 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: my timing on all this was right. So yeah, and 133 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: Biden's of course going to say this is no surprise 134 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: that the hostage deal is because of you know, his 135 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: last minute work and everything else, even though this has 136 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: been going on for fifteen months. Uh, He's going to 137 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: try to take some kind of a political victory lap 138 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: on this. I don't think that's going to go over 139 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: as well as he would like it to. I also 140 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: think that whether it's CNNMSNBC, the New York Times of 141 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: Washington Post, they all feel very, very burned by what's 142 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: happened in this in this election where they decided to 143 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: push Biden out, they put Kamala forward, she got destroyed. 144 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 1: And now what what is really the takeaway of the 145 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: last four years play for Democrats? What was the at 146 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: best it was a stalling of Trump. Of Trump's second term. 147 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: I don't think there was no major agenda that they 148 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: were able to ram through. They spent a lot of 149 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: money and got inflation to be a huge problem for 150 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: the country and for them politically. A couple of wars 151 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: kicked off abroad that probably wouldn't have if Trump had 152 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: been president. 153 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 2: Well, you know what I mean. 154 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: When they're trying to come forward with the Biden legacy 155 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: of last four years, it's going out with a whimper. 156 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: This is why I. 157 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 3: Made the argument it's hard to analyze history because you 158 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 3: don't know what's going to come in the future. And 159 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 3: I use the George W. Bush Iraq War as a situation. 160 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 3: If one hundred years from now we see the Middle 161 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 3: East as a flourishing democracy, people may point and say, hey, 162 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 3: that was a legacy of Bush's decision, even though it 163 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 3: wasn't popular. Then I don't think that's going to happen. 164 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 3: But that could be an argument historically that the George W. 165 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 3: Bush presidency looks better one hundred years from now than 166 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: it does now. I can't even point to you something 167 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 3: that the Biden team has done in four years that 168 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: is going to flourish as some great victory in the 169 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 3: decades ahead. And I think that's why the legacy of 170 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 3: Biden is going to be much like the legacy of Carter, 171 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: that he. 172 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: Was an accidental president. 173 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 3: And basically he did a poor job and he's completely forgot. 174 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 3: I can't even think of what his legacy is. And 175 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 3: Buck on your point, he stopped Trump for four years. 176 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 3: Arguably Trump would have been far less powerful if he 177 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 3: had won in twenty twenty then he is now winning 178 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four. Remember, he would have lost the House, 179 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: so he wouldn't have really been able to push anything 180 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 3: through in terms of legislative agenda for Republicans. At best, 181 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 3: he would have had a tie in the Senate, and 182 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: that's depending on how the election results would have ended 183 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 3: up in the Senate with the reelection, you know, the 184 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 3: runoff in Georgia. For anybody who loves Trump, it is 185 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: far better in retrospect now that he lost in twenty 186 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: because he wouldn't have had a Republican Congress and now 187 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 3: he's coming in in twenty four with both My point 188 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 3: on that is Biden didn't even stop Trump. Arguably Trump 189 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 3: if he had served a second term from twenty twenty 190 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 3: one to twenty twenty five. Now, I think the nation 191 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 3: would be better off, but what Trump could have actually 192 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: accomplished would have been far less. 193 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 2: Now. 194 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 3: I don't think Putin would have invaded Ukraine. I don't 195 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: think Hamas would have done October seventh, right, I think 196 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 3: the world would have been better off. But in terms 197 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 3: of American policies that Trump could put in place, I 198 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 3: think there's a very strong argument that Biden has actually 199 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: enabled a stronger Trump in twenty twenty five, five days 200 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: from now than he ever would have been if he 201 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: had won in twenty twenty Does that make sense? Like, so, 202 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 3: actually he's not only not even defeated Trump, he's actually 203 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 3: led to an ascendant Trump who is more powerful than 204 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 3: he would have been if Joe Biden had just lost, 205 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 3: because now Trump would be riding off into the sunset 206 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 3: himself and his tenure would be over. And we don't 207 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 3: know what would have happened in the twenty twenty four 208 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 3: election because it would have been a non incumbent election 209 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 3: on both sides. 210 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that. 211 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: I think that they're if they could go back in time, 212 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: it's a it's an interesting question, do you really are 213 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: you really still glad that Biden won. And if you're 214 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: a Democrat, are you glad that Biden won in twenty 215 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: twenty or did that just create this situation where you 216 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: had four years of Democrat misrule and now the floor 217 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: has been cleared for Trump to just come in with 218 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: a with a with the Maga sledgehammer. And that's really 219 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: what it feels like right now. I Mean, I'm not 220 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: somebody who gets kind of over enthusiastic about these things, 221 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: but I'm looking around and the opposition to Trump is 222 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: just in tatters. It's just a fraction of what it 223 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: used to be. It's a it's a figment of what 224 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: we got used to for years. And I'm not even 225 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: what are they gonna do indict him a fifth time? 226 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: They can, he's president. What are they gonna do, They're 227 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: gonna beeach him. 228 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: A third time? What do they think they're gonna pull off? Here? 229 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 3: Trump is going to accomplish far more in twenty twenty 230 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 3: five than I think he would have been able to do, 231 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: probably in four years, if he had won in twenty 232 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 3: twenty and take an office. And I think Democrats are 233 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 3: slowly recognizing that. So to your point, I Biden's gonna 234 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: give us farewell tonight. I'm not sure what an honest 235 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 3: recapitulation and analysis of the Biden tenure. 236 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 2: It's bad now. 237 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 3: I just said he's got a sixty one percent of 238 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 3: Americans think his presidency was a failure, according to CNN. 239 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,479 Speaker 3: What are we missing that could be considered a success 240 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 3: a generation from now? I can't even think of any 241 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: seeds that Biden has planted that are going to flourish 242 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 3: in twenty years or forty years from now we're going 243 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 3: to look at and say, hey, you know what he 244 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 3: got that, right, can you? I can't even think of 245 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: an example. 246 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think it's a it's a really, really 247 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: tough job to be trying to cobble together some kind 248 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: of positive story. 249 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 2: About Joe Biden's last four years. 250 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: I think what it's going to be, and this is 251 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: why The New York Times and I think are putting 252 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: it forward as you know, a fifty year career in 253 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: public life. You know Biden, They're going to be talking about, oh, 254 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: the Crime Bill in the nineties and things that he 255 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: did as a senator, and you know, they'll talk about 256 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: the family tragedies that he's had they're going to have 257 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: to expand it well beyond his four years as president, 258 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: because I think it is I think it is true 259 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: to say that Biden, even from a Democrat perspective, Okay, 260 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: forget about what we as as people on the right think. 261 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: I think Biden's four years was a failure, a failure 262 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: from all viewpoint, in all respects. I think that he 263 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: failed to achieve the objectives of the Democrats and failed 264 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: to make things better for the country overall. 265 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: So it's a yeah, happy birthday to Joe Biden. I 266 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: don't know, it's kind of rough out there for Joe. 267 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: You know. 268 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: It's great. 269 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: Bear Creek Arsenal firearms manufacturer based out of Sanford, North Carolina. 270 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: They've got great fiarms.

Here's what I'll say about the ceasefire. 294 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 3: And by the way, we Maydian put a table, put 295 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 3: a discussion on TikTok. 296 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 2: I know I mentioned it earlier. 297 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 3: We're going to talk about that later this week because 298 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 3: TikTok is saying that they're going to allow which is 299 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 3: kind of crazy, the app basically to expire on Sunday. 300 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 3: Do we believe that we can still talk about it 301 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 3: on Thursday and Friday. Here's one of the things that 302 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 3: I think is the unfortunate reality of any resolution or 303 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 3: deal that is signed in with Hamas. They're still being 304 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: rewarded for taking hostages, and there is talk that they're 305 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 3: getting back ten Palestinian prisoners for everyone is released Israeli. 306 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 3: The challenge with all of this, everyone who takes hostages 307 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 3: basically gets rewarded. We saw the same thing happen with 308 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: Russia and Britney Griner and Evan Gersovich, whoever the people 309 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 3: are when Americans are taken hostage or when Israelis are 310 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 3: taken hostage by terrorists, when you negotiate in any way 311 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 3: with them, I understand wanting to get the hostages back, 312 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 3: but you're basically setting the precedent of why hostage taking 313 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 3: continues because there is a value that is given back. 314 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 3: That's why they took these people on October seventh. Yeah, 315 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 3: that's right, So it's a bitter suite. I'm glad that 316 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 3: we are getting some of these hostages back. But in 317 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 3: many ways we are seating the future taking of hostages 318 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 3: every time we engage in negotiations with terror groups to 319 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 3: get hostages back or kleptocratic, untrustworthy authoritarian governments. So I 320 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 3: don't want to be the Debbie downer here on the deal. 321 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 3: But in many ways Hamas is getting what they want 322 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 3: in this respect, because that's why they took the hostages 323 00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 3: in the first place. Much less serious coming up this weekend, 324 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 3: we have got a fabulous weekend of divisional football which 325 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 3: is going to be outstanding and which I know many 326 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 3: of you cannot wait for.

Mister speaker, 346 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: appreciate you being with us. Before we get into the movie, 347 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, what's your sense of where we stand 348 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: historically now, about to begin the second Trump term and 349 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: putting an end to Biden's four years. 350 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 2: What do you see immediately ahead for the country. 351 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 4: Well, I think this is an enormous shift. Trump is 352 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 4: a genuine populist. He wants to change the establishment, and 353 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 4: I think that he's going to end up being an 354 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 4: extraordinarily important president. And I think that we're going to 355 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 4: see that a lot of things just didn't work, but 356 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 4: now I think with Trump's leadership, we're going to see 357 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 4: the country turn around very fast, and I would suspect 358 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 4: that we're going to have a non distant future. I'm 359 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 4: a very dynamic country with a lot of economic growth 360 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 4: and with a lot of reforms. 361 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 3: Speaker new gingris with us. Now we were just talking 362 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 3: on the show. Let's pretend that you had to argue, 363 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 3: and I'm sure you've argued in the past. Debate sometimes 364 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 3: things you don't agree with, but you're a good debater. 365 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 3: Sixty one percent of Americans consider Biden's presidency a failure, 366 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 3: according to a CNN poll that just came out. Can 367 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 3: you point to anything in the last four years that 368 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 3: Joe Biden has done that has made America better? 369 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 4: No, I mean, I'm pretty biased because I'm a conservative, 370 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 4: but it just you know, I mean, maybe withdrawing from 371 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 4: the race. 372 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 3: It's a great answer. The only thing you could think 373 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 3: of that made America better was him not running. You 374 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 3: have dealt with getting things through the House and the 375 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 3: Senate a ton. When you look at twenty twenty five, 376 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 3: how much time does Trump have to really implement his 377 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 3: policies that next year Democrats are going to try to delay, 378 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 3: and the House and the Senate races will be up 379 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 3: again for mid terms. How imperative is going fast now? 380 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 4: Well, I think that it depends a large part on 381 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 4: how they approach it. If they do what Reagan did 382 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 4: and what Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher did, and they start 383 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 4: with the wishes of the American people, and I had 384 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 4: up a project called the America's New Majority Project, or 385 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 4: we look for the kind of issues where you can 386 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 4: get seventy and eighty sometimes even ninety percent support. If 387 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 4: they stick to that, they're gonna be able to get 388 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 4: things done all the way through because the American people 389 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 4: will be on their side and the American people will 390 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 4: force it to happen. Now, if, on the other hand, 391 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 4: they forget that and they start getting driven by Washington issues, 392 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 4: then I think you're right, and he may have a 393 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 4: relatively short time horizon to get things done. 394 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: How do you view the timing of the hostage deal 395 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: and the cessation the formal cessation of the war between 396 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: Israel and hamas happening just days before Trump takes off 397 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: as mister speaker, Well, I. 398 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 4: Thought somebody had a very shrewd comment a former ambassador 399 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 4: two Tel Aviv to Jerusalem rather who said, with Trump 400 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 4: coming in every day, the deal was going to get 401 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 4: worse for Hamas, and therefore if they didn't move now, 402 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 4: they were just going to be in more and more 403 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 4: and more trouble because ultimately Trump would side with Israel 404 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 4: and wiping out Hamas. It's very different than the situation 405 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 4: they were in when you had Joe Biden lecturing Israel 406 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 4: over and over again about what they should or should 407 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 4: not be doing. 408 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 3: Tell us about the documentary that you've got and what 409 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 3: you've been working on, and you would encourage our audience 410 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: to check out. 411 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 4: Well. Krist and I started in twenty twenty three thinking that, 412 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 4: you know, we need to balance the immigration debate. We're 413 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 4: both very strongly opposed to illegal immigration, but we are 414 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 4: very strongly in favor of legal immigration, and so we 415 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 4: began to think that, you know, maybe we should adopt 416 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 4: a position of how can we get across to the 417 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 4: American people the amazing things that legal immigrants do. And 418 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 4: so we developed a program called Journey to America. We 419 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 4: went out and found nine really interesting people and found 420 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 4: that we were able to tell their stories. So the 421 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 4: Journey to America is essentially nine unique human beings who 422 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 4: came to this country and who made it a dramatically 423 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 4: better country. But they all came through the legal process 424 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 4: under the Constitution. They all wanted to work, and they 425 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 4: all wanted to become Americans. It's very different than somebody 426 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 4: who starts their career by breaking the law. 427 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: Do you have confidence that there's going to be major changes, 428 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: mister Speaker in the immigration enforcement and just overall immigration 429 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: picture in the next Trump administration. 430 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 4: I think in the first thirty days you'll be shocked 431 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 4: at how effective they are. He's brought back one of 432 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 4: the great veterans of border control. I think they're absolutely 433 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 4: going to first seal off the border, second start deporting criminals. 434 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 4: And there are a lot of people who are here 435 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 4: who are criminals, and I think that whether it's a 436 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 4: Venezuelan gang or a Salvadoran gang or a Mexican cartel, 437 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 4: we have no reason to expose Americans to a murder 438 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 4: or rape or robbery from people who shouldn't even be here. 439 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: We've got the documentary that you've worked on up at 440 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: clayanbuck dot com. Where else can people watch, mister speaker. 441 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 4: Hey, they can go to PBS dot org or PBS 442 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 4: app and they can see it.

How 450 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 3: much are you looking forward to that? 451 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 4: Well, she was the ambassador the Vatican in the first 452 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 4: Trump term. I went with her and did most of 453 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 4: my work from Rome. The State Department caused me a 454 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 4: trailing spouse, which is a good term because it reminds 455 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 4: you that's the ambassador who is the personal representative president 456 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 4: you're not. And I'm looking forward to being with her 457 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 4: on Switzerland is a great country. She has to be 458 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 4: approved by the Senator, of course, but Switzerland's a great 459 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 4: country and it's a wonderful assignment for her. 460 00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: Mister Speaker appreciates you being with us.

We've 493 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 3: been trying to contextualize what exactly is in this deal. 494 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 3: I know it's still in the early moments of this 495 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 3: being a public deal, but Yell, as a citizen of Israel, 496 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 3: what should our audience know about this deal from your 497 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 3: perspective and that of other Israelis. 498 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 6: Well, thank you so much, Clayon Buck, and firstly, thank 499 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 6: you for all your prayers that brought us to this day. 500 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 6: Every israelis right now holding their breath until we see 501 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 6: those hostages walk over the border, reander Israel and hug 502 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,239 Speaker 6: their families. It's a very difficult deal because we are 503 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 6: releasing hundreds of terrorists for one innocent civilian who is 504 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 6: kidnapped from their bed, allowing them to go home. And 505 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 6: we know that those terrorists who are in Israeli jails 506 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 6: when they're released go on to again commit terror X 507 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 6: and kill more Israelis even yeah, yes, and Noir, the 508 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 6: one who the terrorist mastermind of October seventh, he was 509 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 6: in Israeli jail. He was released in a deal and 510 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 6: he went on to October seventh. So it's very very 511 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 6: difficult for the Israeli people to have to pay this 512 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 6: very difficult price. But every life is sacred, and every 513 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 6: day that these hostages are in Gaza being abused and raped, 514 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 6: many of them murdered already, is another day in hell 515 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 6: that we need to save them from. And so what 516 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 6: we know about this deal so far as in the 517 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 6: first stage there'll be thirty three hostages released all at 518 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 6: once over a period of a few weeks, and Israeli 519 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 6: troops simultaneously will be pulling out of parts of the 520 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 6: Gaza strip. Now, we don't know if these thirty three 521 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 6: hostages that will be released in the first stage are 522 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 6: live or not. None of them have been confirmed dead, 523 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 6: but they haven't been confirmed alive either. So we're waiting 524 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 6: with baited breath to see who's going to come home 525 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 6: when and what's their physical emotional, spiritual health, Jaile. 526 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: Can you speak to also whether this is likely to 527 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: be a temporary cease fire? What will this mean for 528 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: Israeli military operations in Gaza and against Hamas Moore broadly. 529 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 6: That's a great question. That's the question everyone is and 530 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 6: asking themselves, and we're getting lots of different answers. We 531 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 6: saw President Biden say this is the end of war. 532 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 6: This marks the end of the war. We saw President 533 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 6: Trump say we will not allow Jamas to rearm. We 534 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 6: will not allow Jamas to be a terror organization that 535 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 6: regroups on Israel's border. And we saw Benjamin A'taanee who 536 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 6: say this does not stop our ability to combat terror 537 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 6: in the Gaza Strip against from US. So it's not clear. 538 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 6: None of those details are exactly clear. And I think 539 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 6: what we do know is Israeli's as you were there 540 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 6: and means for peace and are willing to take very 541 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 6: hard steps in order to get to peace. But you 542 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 6: can't make peace with the terror organization. So the question 543 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 6: is will Hamas rearm or will they disarm? What will 544 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 6: be the ruling factor in the Gaza Strip? Will there 545 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 6: be a new leadership for the Palestinian people in Gaza 546 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 6: that will bring a new reality of hope and prosperity 547 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 6: and education to the Palestinian people instead of what Hamas 548 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 6: has been doing, of a reign of terror. 549 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 3: Well, you, obviously, as in Israeli have been following this 550 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 3: very very closely. I was over there last month, and 551 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 3: the election of Donald Trump seems to have been a 552 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 3: galvanizing factor in exerting the pursuit of peace in some way. 553 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 3: Is that an accurate take from your perspective? What has 554 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 3: the election of Trump meant from an Israeli perspective to 555 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 3: the pursuit of peace in your country? 556 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 6: Well, first of all, I think that really we have 557 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 6: to give credit to all the parties right now who 558 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 6: are part of these negotiations, including President elect Trump and 559 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 6: of course President Joe Biden and Premiter Benjamin and Tanya 560 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 6: who it seems like everyone was really working in coordination 561 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 6: to bring this deal to fruition. What's unique about President 562 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 6: Trump is that he came in very clearly differentiating between 563 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 6: America's ally of Israel that's a democracy and cherishes freedom 564 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 6: and values life versus Hamas that is a terror organization. 565 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 6: He distinguished very clearly between hostages who are taken from 566 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 6: their bed and terroorists who having held in Israeli prisons. 567 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 6: Just that moral clarity gives room for the possibility of 568 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 6: a deal that we saw come to fruition. 569 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: What are some of the hopes we're speaking to they 570 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: Isle Extein of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. 571 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: We're honored to partner with them as a sponsor here 572 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: on the show Yale. What are some of the possible 573 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: hopeful things in the future with this new Trump administration? 574 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump obviously a great ally of the Israeli people. 575 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: The Abraham Accords at the end of Trump's first term 576 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: was a bright spot of diplomacy for the US, for 577 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: the region, for the Middle East, for Israel. Are there 578 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: things that are on the horizon that are giving the 579 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: Israeli people particular hope now that Donald Trump is coming 580 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: into his second term. 581 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 6: Wow, I think you said it. Those are two words 582 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 6: that give so much hope to the Israeli people and 583 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 6: should be a source of hope and pride for the 584 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 6: American people as well. The Abraham Accords. Those are accords 585 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 6: that in Donald Trump's previous term that he forged between 586 00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,040 Speaker 6: Israel and moderate Muslim countries. And they have sustained the 587 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 6: most difficult year and a half. And we see these 588 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 6: relations between Tehran and the UAE even Morocco that they 589 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 6: are not only not only have they been able to 590 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 6: sustain this very difficult time, but in many ways they 591 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 6: people have gotten stronger. The idea behind Abraham Accords is 592 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 6: that Iran is a terror state. Their government is not 593 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 6: the people that are funding terror across the Middle East, 594 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 6: and that's not good for the moderate Muslim countries, just 595 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 6: like it's not good for Israel or America. And so 596 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 6: these partnerships, the Abraham Cords, that are strategic and good 597 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 6: for both sides, have so much possibility to expand. And 598 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 6: what we're all looking at is will it expand to 599 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 6: Saudi Arabia? And I think it's a real possibility. 600 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 3: That would be incredibly important. Also important is people being 601 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 3: able to come to Israel, because so many people in 602 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 3: the country rely on people coming from other parts of 603 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 3: the world, particularly United States. When we flew in Yell, 604 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 3: it's just right now, l ol. A ceasefire? How quickly 605 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 3: if the ceasefire is able to be sustained, do you 606 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 3: think people would be able to travel on traditional American Airlines, 607 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 3: American Airlines, Delta, all of these other places that have 608 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 3: stopped allowing their aircraft to move into Israel. 609 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 6: That's a great question. I would hope it would be 610 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 6: very soon. And it's so important to have that Christian 611 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 6: voice boots on the ground, the American voice boots on 612 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 6: the ground in Israel, both for the experience of walking 613 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 6: those holy footsteps of your spiritual land Jerusalem of all 614 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 6: three all three fate great faiths of Judaism, Christianity and 615 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,919 Speaker 6: also Islam of course, and to visit those Christian holy 616 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 6: sites like Bethlehem and the Mount of Olives and the 617 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 6: Garden of It's so important for the Christian experience be 618 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 6: able to walk those but Sepson, like you said, in 619 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 6: a way more experienced. For important for the Israelis to 620 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 6: be able to see we have friends, We're not alone. 621 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 6: That Christians come to Israel, and that Americans come to 622 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 6: Israel to see the site and to stand with Israeli 623 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 6: people is something that you can't put any price tag on. 624 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 6: It inspires us more than anything in the world. So 625 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 6: I hope that they will be able to come and 626 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 6: visit soon.
