But that was kind of a question. 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.040 Yeah, I don't understand that question at all. It doesn't 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.800 make any sense to me. But the viral video that 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.679 has spread around America politically, and I've seen it in 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.640 all kinds of national newscasts coming out of California. Where 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:12.720 we are, this woman who was odds on favorite maybe 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:16.200 to be the next governor of California has completely blown 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.520 up her campaign by not handling that well, let's play 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.319 a little bit of how that went. 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:23.800 I'm going to try to win every vote I can. 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.399 And what I'm saying to you is that, well to 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:27.959 those voters. 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.080 Okay, so you I. 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:30.640 Don't want to keep doing this, I'm gonna call it. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.760 Oh, thank you. 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.399 You're not gonna do the interview with them, not like this. 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.360 I'm not not with seven follow ups to every single 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:39.080 question you ask. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:41.760 And it goes on. 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.640 She's a I called her a b joseahs, she has 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.080 graduated from a bee to a c. 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:48.400 Yeah, yeah, she's done the work. 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.840 Oh, she has thoroughly done the work of being a 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.080 bee and deserves the sea. 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.080 Yes with this new clip, So how do we set 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:55.440 this up? 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.600 There? They're doing a little video in a kitchen or something. 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.920 Yeah, she's doing a video with Jennifer grand Holme, the 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:05.080 former Secretary of Education, where they're just reading the yay 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:10.000 yay rah rah. Joe Biden has a wonderful presidency thing, 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:17.160 and and she says something that's blatantly untrue about electric vehicles, 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.000 I mean, just like wildly inaccurate. And that was the 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.320 conversation about how EV's are so clearly the future and 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.040 everybody loves them and this is such an important we're 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.480 going to end climate change. It's just obnoxious. But then 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:35.359 she says something wildly inaccurate about EV's and her aide says, hey, whoa, whoa, 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.920 it's actually and and and comes into the shot and 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:40.680 the state. 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:41.200 Could lose. 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.400 Out of my shot. 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.919 I wanted to tell you that that's actually correct. 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.200 It's not that it's electric vehicles, it's that And you 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.720 don't need to commit at any comparis climate word. 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.080 Okay, it doesn't. Okay, you also were in my shot 0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:01.560 before that. Stay out of my shot. God, she seems 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:02.679 like a horrible human being. 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.080 It's a shame we had to bleep all of that 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:10.600 out because it is quite the obscenity soaked tirade for 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:15.520 a correcting her and b getting in her shot, which 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.280 of course they just then pick up because you can 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.680 edit video and they just continue on. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:21.720 Right. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.240 So in the wide world of news today, that's Mark 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.280 Calprin's outfit. Katie Porter's California gubenertorial campaign on the ropes 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:33.480 after two viral videos reveal the temperament she has always 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:37.040 put on vivid display behind the scenes. Yes, that's a 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.920 reporting of people who know of her and as well said, 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.240 as we have pointed out in one party states, this 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.640 is the kind of monster you get because there's nobody 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.520 to run against them. I mean, you frighten off people 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.920 in your own party by being such an a hole, 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.240 and there's the other party doesn't have a chance of 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:56.400 beating you, and you. 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:57.560 End up with these kind of people. 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:02.160 She's clearly a horror, rrible human being, and there's plenty 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:03.960 of other people that could be doing that job that 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.280 aren't horrible human beings. So get her the freak out. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.400 You know, part of me pities her because she's obviously 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.520 boiling with anger, obvious and can barely suppress it. But 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.840 she should not be in power. The Great Matt Tayebi 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.200 wrote the following, and first of all, he apologizes he's 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.680 been sick and in a funk for days, and then 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.000 he says, but then I saw Laurie Watt's CBS interview 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:30.120 with California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter and finally laughed, which 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.800 in turn led to reading court filings with quotes like 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.280 she then took a ceramic bowl of steaming hot potatoes 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:41.040 and dumped it on my head, and also her screaming 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.760 at her husband or are you so effing stupid you 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:44.719 can't make jello? 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.960 Among other things. My God, that poor guy who was 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.839 married to her, she went. 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:54.160 To I believe his court mandated anger counseling because of 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.840 assaulting her husband. And then Tybe says, only a terrible 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.719 person would watch. Oh, I'm sorry, that's different, he says. 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.039 I then stayed up late last night reading her twenty 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.400 twenty three memoir I Swear Politics is Messier than My Minivan, 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:07.359 which is a. 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.360 Great title anyway, he says. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.039 The book is less funny but still fascinating as a 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.120 field guide to a newly prevalent personality type. 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:16.960 This is the person who simmers with. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.359 Nuclear rage while scrupulously cataloging all of the mistakes the 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.120 vast flawed universe of other people make in delaying his 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.560 or her obviously deserves success. As I'm about to record 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.200 America this week, one of the reasons I'm proud to 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.560 be an American is that hers is a country where 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:39.159 entertainingly crazy people get to thrive. Porter's best strategic move 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.360 is to embrace the viral crazes grade by the Watch 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:46.240 Exchange and go full DNC mathfra from here Mara. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:49.800 But that whole. 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:55.800 Simmering with nuclear rage and cataloging all of the flaws 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.000 of anybody who stands in her way. That reminds me 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.560 so much of the Kamala Harris book, except Kamala Harris 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.159 is like high on three glasses of chardonnay, and she 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:07.640 doesn't have that Katie Porter. 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:08.280 Rage, no. 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:10.640 Shot. 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.159 No Kamala Harris is dumb. She's not a B or 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:18.400 a C. That's a different thing, this Katie portion. I 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.600 don't like Kamala Harris's politics, and I don't think she's 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.240 real smart. I hate this woman. The fact that this 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.640 Katie Porter woman had any power to do anything is 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.800 horrifying to me. And the fact that she was that 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.359 close to becoming governor of California. Now, we did, in 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.400 our pre show meeting come to the realization that the 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.320 best thing for the show would be if she did 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.039 get elected governor. So if we want to prioritize the 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.799 show over you know, human beings in the biggest state 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:43.880 of America. 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:48.000 Uh, And I do, yes, I've already donated the MAX 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:48.760 to her campaign. 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.960 Her being governor would be fantastic. But it's just terrible 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.680 that anybody with that temperament could rise up through the 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.360 ranks of anything, and. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.719 She's well known as a monster behind the scenes in politics. 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.960 Her staff turnover was sixty five percent per year, I believe, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.119 which is put quadruple the normal rate. 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.320 I wouldn't last a day with someone like that. I 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:11.920 don't care what it would do for my career. 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:20.120 F you yeah, yeah, wow, one party state. So she 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.400 took up Avin Newsom and Katie Porter. So she took 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.920 a scalding hot bowl of mashed potatoes and dumped him 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:28.120 on her husband's head. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.480 Yes, yeah, man, that's. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:35.040 A pretty brutal assault, screaming are you so effing stupid 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:39.440 you can't make jello at your spouse for you? Oh, 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:40.640 I'm out that day. 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:41.360 Please. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.640 This guy's got to have, you know, the grantitedy got out. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.200 God bless him. He had to have something like Stockholm 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:51.160 syndrome where he was terrified of angering her, less to 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.960 you know, he feeled the brunt of her verbal end 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:55.360 or physical attacks. 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:56.920 Well, who knows what the magros I don't know if 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.280 they had kids and you know, or he could have 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.560 been a climber where he realized she was a ticket 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.600 to you know, maybe she's gonna be governor someday and 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.800 I get to be or they got kids. 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.120 Hey never know, but I have a daughter. I know 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.880 because she likes to tout single mothers like me. Oh, yes, 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.440 you're a single mother because you're a monster and you 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:16.760 drove your husband away. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.680 Yeah, I got a million dollar bill. I've been on 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.560 the fact that you've talked to your kid the same way. 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:27.480 Impossible that you haven't. Oh you're a horrible, horrible human being. Wow, 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.160 her career's over. I think there's no way she comes 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:35.560 back from this, is there, Katie Porter, do humanity a favor. 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.800 Pack some provisions and one of those water filter things 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.160 and hike out into the wilderness and leave the rest. 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.040 Of humanity alone for the rest of your days. We 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:44.800 all thank you. 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.800 I got into the wilderness right. Become a hermit. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.720 The only way she's still viable. Like, and this is disgusting. 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.559 It's like you said yesterday. If for some reason she's 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.520 the choice of like the teachers' union and the other 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:05.720 big unions, then they could propel her to the governor's house. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.840 Yeah, if she makes a convincing enough case. Because this 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.800 is how California politics works, and it's crazy. Nobody in 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.480 the national media ever writes about this. Either they don't 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.679 know it or I don't know. But if she gets 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.920 the endorsement of the powerful public employee unions and the 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.880 quasi public employee unions like the nurses and stuff like that, 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.600 and the trial attorneys, she will be the next governor 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:28.120 of California. 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.640 No, make her governor, make her governor unions. That'd be 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.360 so entertaining for the show. We would love that. 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.959 So a word from our friends at web Roots.

Less. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.719 Likely to kill you if you have a pacemaker, as 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.240 I understand it.

If it's something that can 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.080 be stirred, yeah, obviously have to stir it, you know, 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:21.719 part of the way through. But if it's not, I 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:22.920 it's like a he's a chicken. 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:24.640 Yeah, anyway, you're gonna. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:25.679 Have a cold bite, and then you're gonna have a 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.000 bite that burns the top of your tongue, right exactly. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:35.000 Coming up Seattle's mayor saying, repeat offenders who hurt people 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.360 and commit crimes over and over and over again are 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:43.079 probably just misunderstood and putting him mit jail wouldn't help.

Not okay, the science. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.120 They came across the term lavender marriage the other day 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.080 somewhere somebody made a joke and that was in it, 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:25.640 and I thought, I need to google that because I 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.280 don't know what that is. But all right, cool, I'm 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.800 glad I'm now up to speed on what lavender marriages are. 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.600 No, no, no, clear that out of your head, make 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.440 room for something that matters. I just saw a video 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:44.200 of Gossen's chanting Trump Trump Trump and Israeli's chanting Trump 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:45.840 Trump Trump. Wow. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.800 How much does he love that? One? Two? How amazing 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:50.160 is that? 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.360 Anyway, We'll get into the Middle East peace process here 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.040 in just a little bit. It's it's something else that 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.240 is not the biggest story in the world. According to 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.320 the Wide World of News newsletter today, the biggest story 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.000 in the world long term is this comes out of 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:08.400 the Wall Street Journal. China tightened its control over critical 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.520 minerals used to make high tech products, including electric vehicles 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:16.200 and jet fighters yesterday. Their export applications for products with 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:21.280 military uses won't be approved, the Ministry said, adding that 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:26.000 the licenses related to semiconductors or artificial intelligence development much 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:27.960 of it that they have the best in the world 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.120 and that we need for our jet fighters and AI 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.640 stuff and electric cars their same nan We. 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.000 Ain't given them to you at all. Yeah. 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:40.360 In a related story, they China is by far by 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:45.160 multiples the biggest consumer of American soybeans other than America, 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:46.720 and they've ordered none. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.200 Yeah, we'll get back to you. We might order some. 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.320 So they on both ends of the trade equation are 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.560 flexing their muscles and balling up their fists. 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.000 As we all learned during COVID when we found out 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:02.040 that wait a second, every medicine I take in my 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:06.280 life is made in China. Turns out a lot of 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.160 other important stuff too, like super fast computer chips and 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.760 the things you need to make a jet fighter. How 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.120 in the world do you get to the point that 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:20.160 your obvious number one foe on planet Earth is in 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.760 control of the important stuff you need to make a 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:23.720 jet plane. 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:29.000 The pathetic naivete is that the right word of the Hey, 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.320 things are fawn with China and there never be a 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.360 conflict again, and we can become completely dependent on them 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.680 for like the most critical minerals and the most critical technology, 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.480 and there's no downside because they sell it to us cheap. 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.200 It's unbelievable. 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.240 It's being asleep at the national security switch. 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.640 So before we take a break and get into the 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:54.040 amazing piece thing that Trump has pulled off, it looks 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:55.960 like in the Middle East that everybody left, right and 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.160 center is hailing you said, you watch a little baseball 0:15:59.240 --> 0:15:59.720 last night. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:06.480 I don't How much do you care about. 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:11.240 The amount of money teams spend in all your pro sports, 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.760 I mean, because to a certain extent, the team that 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.960 wins is not always definitely not always. You can't just 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:22.000 buy a championship, but pretty regularly the best teams out 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:23.440 there have the highest payrolls. 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.640 And it's just flat, it's just flat. 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.680 That So the Dodgers are the most expensive team in 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:33.280 all of Major League Baseball by quite a bit. Then 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.680 you got the Yankees who lost last night, so they're out. 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:38.680 Then you got the Toronto Blue. 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.640 Jays who beat the Yankees last night, or right behind 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.360 the Yankees, and you got the Philadelphia Phillies who are 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:49.360 playing the Dodgers. So you know, and every once in 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.320 a while you have teams like this. This is one reason, 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.320 you know, I could root for the Brewers easily. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:55.680 There. 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.360 So the Dodgers payroll this year three hundred and fifty 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.400 million dollars, three hundred and fifty million dollars for one 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.720 year to field the baseball team of all stars. That 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.320 they've got the Brewers one hundred and eleven million. Wow, 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:10.880 And they had the best record in of all of baseball, 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.399 and they are headed to another round probably, But I 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.399 don't know if that should that matter should I just 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.719 enjoy sports, says it is and I'll pay attention to then, 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:19.479 or I don't know. 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.320 You know it it's almost like. 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.320 A plot device to me, like a plot twist, or 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.119 it makes the the evil powerful guy more fun to 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.239 root against. Yeah, but at the point where you know 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.440 it's just six out of or you know, seven out 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.560 of the final eight teams are all at the top 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.560 of the payroll chart, that's kind of a fun suck. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.520 Honestly, it is a little bit, isn't it. Well for 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.080 the other teams, you don't have a chance. 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.639 Well, the average in Major League Baseball is one hundred 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.040 and seventy five million. That's the average, one hundred and 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:52.159 seventy five million. Your your top four teams are all 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.080 around three hundred million, almost double that. Yeah, and they're 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.439 the teams that are in the playoffs. So you know, 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.080 if you root for a team that's that lower end, generally, 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:05.240 you don't have a chance. 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:07.520 Right, Right, that's no fun. 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.520 Peace in the Middle East has it finally come? Well, 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:12.720 it's closer than it's been in a very very long time. 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:18.480 Maybe ever Armstrong and Geddy, the hostages will come back 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:19.440 there all. 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:25.320 Coming back on Monday. But you guys have to say 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:33.280 to President Trump, this is amazing, mister President. We believe 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.960 in you. We know you've done so much for us 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.280 over the past since you became a president, even before that. 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.600 Can we trust you fulfilled the mission. 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:46.040 So that's the israelis Donald Trump is the most popular 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.640 politician in Israel by far. He has the best rip 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:54.480 relationship with Arab leaders any president has ever had. So 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.439 if you have right those two things going for you 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:58.840 and then the other angle to get this piece deal going. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.400 Here's Michael Orrin, who get sees on all the shows 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.840 the last couple of days or whatever, former ambassador from 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.159 Israel to the United States, War hero and Israel written 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.760 lots of books. Anyway, here's how he says Trump pulled 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:11.120 it off. 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:13.840 The major pressure here was not on Israel, was pushing 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:14.560 out an open door. 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.480 The major pressures on Hamas. And these leaders in the 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.600 Middle East have had it with Hamas. 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:23.320 Thomas brought war to the Milife instability, destruction. And what 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.920 begins with Israel Palestine never ends with Israel Palestine. It 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.399 ends up with riots on the streets of Riata and Cairo. 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.560 And they were fed up and they wanted it. Old 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.520 and that is the extraordinary achievement here of bringing all 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.720 of these charities together who don't agree with one another 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:43.040 and certainly not with Israel, to end the war by 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.080 putting pressure on Hamas. 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:52.080 Yeah, Trump got all these Arab countries to be anti 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:56.240 Hamas enough for Hamas to feel like, man, we got 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:57.480 no friends right now. 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:02.120 Through both the exercise of and as we were discussing earlier, 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:04.680 saying hey, there's all sorts of great deals out here 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:06.000 we can make, and you all could make a ton 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.520 of money if you quit, you know, supporting the evildoers, 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.360
