Yeah, yeah, I had a moment like 46 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 3: that the other night. But then I realized it was 47 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: because I was just I was preoccupied. 48 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: I was focused on other things. 49 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: Although it involved an oven in this case, not like 50 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: turning it on or extending the time or so it 51 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: stayed on. But I thought, wow, that's the flip side 52 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 3: of forgetting to turn it off, which is like a 53 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 3: senior moment thing, right, like a worry about should dad 54 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: be in managed care?

But if 73 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: you went back twenty years, if a George W. Bush 74 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: or a Bill Clinton had given a farewell speech and said, 75 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 3: I have a warning for America. We are coming under 76 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: the hold of an oligarchy that will make it impossible 77 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: for people on the bottom to rise up. 78 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that would have been. 79 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 3: Earth shattering, right if the outgoing president had said, we're 80 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: falling under the fold of an oligarchy. 81 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: What are you talking about? 82 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 3: Because Elon Musk tweets a lot in favor of things 83 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 3: Trump does, We're now an oligarchy. 84 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: That's funny. 85 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 3: He gave the Metal of Freedom to George Sorows last week, 86 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 3: who was allowed to uh Marxist prosecutors to run our 87 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 3: biggest cities. 88 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: That was fine. 89 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: But now that it's a billionaire on the other side, 90 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 3: you have to give a speech about how America is over. 91 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: It's over.

It might be. 93 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 3: That's the response to that, No we're not, and B 94 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: what were you talking about? 95 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: God stop it? 96 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 3: Well, And the other reason, obviously not much reaction is 97 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 3: coming forth is that he is completely irrelevant and it's sad, 98 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 3: and it's just it is so what's done. It is 99 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 3: your last day of your senior class at high school, 100 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 3: presuming you're the sort who looks forward not back. Mostly 101 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 3: it's just and some teachers saying, you know, your desk 102 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: is a little messy, or like what shut up? So, yeah, 103 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: Biden's what Biden has to say is practically relevant. I 104 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 3: have enjoyed very much a piece of reporting on how 105 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: hurt Kamala Harris is that Joe Biden's walking around saying 106 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 3: he could have beaten Trump, not because it's in any 107 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 3: way irrelevant, but because it's just funny. 108 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: Well it's not true. That not true also, but oh. 109 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 3: It's the delusions of the rambling old brattle trap. 110 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been in this, We've all been in the 111 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: situation before. 112 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: I'm sure Kamala Harris would like to say, Look, dude, 113 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 3: I mean, it's one thing you go around saying that, 114 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: and it's annoying and you don't need to say it, 115 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: and obviously it makes me look bad, but the fact. 116 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: That it's so not true, it's just not true. 117 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 3: Specifically is going around saying, you know, the poles I 118 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 3: saw I could have beaten him.

Need read but the history 256 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 3: of this or any other age to be convinced of 257 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: the contrary, which is just the flip side of the 258 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 3: form of the famous Lord acton quote.

I think that's absolutely true, 311 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 3: and the Israelis are preparing for a very difficult set 312 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 3: of jobs, given the physical and emotional the situation the 313 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 3: hostages are probably going to be in when they're released. 314 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: We only have a minute.

I mean, 341 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 3: at that time it seemed like it. 342 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: Was actually gonna happen. 343 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 3: I'm not so sure now, but anyway, who gets credit 344 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 3: for the ceasefire agreement? 345 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: Israel and Hamas? Is that a joke? 346 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: Joe Biden said something similar. Not exactly sure why they're 347 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 3: going with that. Since The New York Times is out today, 348 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 3: Peter Baker big story top of the fold. How amazingly 349 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 3: well two administrations that in theory hate each other, the 350 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 3: Trump administration the Bide administration have been working hand in 351 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 3: glove in the State Department to try to put this together. 352 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 3: It's a cod putting it together. But Joe Biden went 353 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 3: with his ad a joke that doesn't really matter. It's 354 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 3: just odd. I think it's interesting that so almost all 355 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 3: of the sound that we had put together from yesterday's 356 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 3: newscasts and stuff like that about this no longer is 357 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 3: operable because so many things have happened overnight. Israel bomba 358 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 3: the but Jesus out of Gaza, the Gaza leader putting 359 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 3: out a video saying, Oh God be praised, that was 360 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 3: the greatest day ever. October seventh, May there be many 361 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 3: more we declare victory. That's not a good way to 362 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 3: get the whole ceasefire thing going. Yeah, I would say, 363 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 3: and that was why, you know, yesterday and the day 364 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 3: before I was expressing such skepticism about whether the joy 365 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 3: was appropriate, and not in a cynical way, not in 366 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 3: a mocking way. Certainly, if my loved one was held, 367 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 3: I would be desperate for some sort of solution. But 368 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 3: you are dealing with the devil. This is the snake 369 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 3: you knew was a snake when you picked it up, Hamas. 370 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 3: And they will remember it is only in their interest 371 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 3: to seek peace and on accord of any sort if 372 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 3: it serves their aim of wiping every Jew out of Israel, 373 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 3: and if they can the face of the earth. 374 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: That's what you're dealing with. 375 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 3: Oh, one other thing to throw in, Secretary of State 376 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: Blinken for a handful of more days said, Hamas is reconstituted, 377 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: has replaced every member that has been killed. Why did 378 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 3: he come out and say that? Was he trying to 379 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 3: scuttle the deal? I mean, what an injury. I mean, 380 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 3: if it's true, it's true. But one interesting thing to say. 381 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 3: I have really conflicting thoughts about Anthony Blinken from day 382 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 3: to day. I'll tell you this though, if you are 383 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 3: serving at the pleasure of the president and executing his 384 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 3: foreign policy, there will be times that a guy like 385 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 3: Anthony Blinken disagrees with the president and is not getting 386 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 3: his way. 387 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: And in this the final. 388 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 3: Week of the administration, you're starting to hear people say, 389 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 3: here's what I really think. By the way, well, having 390 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 3: read the David sangerbook and the Bob Woodward book, with 391 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 3: all the behind the scenes of all this stuff Ukraine 392 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 3: and Israel, Blincoln is way more of a hard ass 393 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 3: than his boss, way more. He's got way more of 394 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 3: a real politic view than his boss does. But anyway, 395 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 3: the quote yesterday was the newspaper reporting Blincoln says new 396 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 3: Hamas recruits have nearly replaced war losses. 397 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: So why did he come out and say. 398 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 3: That, I don't know. Interesting, I don't want to bury 399 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 3: the lead. Just a few facts and then back to 400 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 3: the analysis. Yesterday, Israel Hamas finally agreed to a truce 401 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 3: as part of a six week ceasefire. Israel will withdraw 402 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 3: from parts of Gaza, free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, hundreds 403 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 3: Hamas will receive, will release a few dozen a third 404 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,479 Speaker 3: of the hostages. It still holds well, and they're hoping 405 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 3: of the one hundreds thirty three with life's sentences. And 406 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 3: you've got to remember that Sinwar was a hostage, was 407 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 3: a prisoner that was released by Israel in a swamp. Also, 408 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 3: so you release those really bad guys, it can come 409 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 3: back to Hanya. Israel's government must still ratify the agreement. 410 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 3: Officials are treating it as complete. The truth will go 411 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 3: into effect on Sunday. Hamas will release thirty three hostages 412 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 3: in waves over six weeks. They'll include women, children, older men, 413 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 3: and sicker wounded people. About a hundred hostages remain in Gaza, 414 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 3: although about thirty five are believed to be dead. So 415 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 3: they're releasing a third of the hostages. These fine fellas. 416 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 3: I suppose you have to release them in waves just 417 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 3: to see that Israel's holding up their end of the 418 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 3: bargain by allowing in aid trucks and stopping bombing and all. 419 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: That sort of stuff. 420 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 3: Otherwise you've lost every bit of leverage you have that 421 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 3: way that were yes, yeah, absolutely on both sides in 422 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 3: different aspects of it. But I can't help but thing 423 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 3: given the nature of Hamasis we're just discussing and the 424 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 3: history of this thing. Israel gets a handful of the 425 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 3: hostages back, turns loose some Palestinians, events will transpire, and 426 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 3: it's on again, and this is very short lived. 427 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: Well, I realize I'm very one sided on this. But 428 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: so you got Israel. They're supposed to give back. 429 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 3: Scumbag criminals who have dedicated their lives to killing Israelis. 430 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: They're supposed to give them back. 431 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 3: Hamas is going to give back college kids who were 432 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 3: at a concert, children and old people who had nothing 433 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 3: to do with nothing and never would have harmed a 434 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 3: hair on anybody's head. 435 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: But the peace activists. 436 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't even understand how that's a 437 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 3: deal in any way. Again, like I said yesterday, the 438 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 3: only way I can see Israel wanting to make this deal, well, 439 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 3: there is a lot of public pressure to get the 440 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 3: hostages back, and also I think they want to get 441 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 3: this off the table because they're planning on a major 442 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 3: attack of Iran. I think couldn Yeah, absolutely, So the 443 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 3: whatever is I gonna jump in? 444 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: Ah? 445 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 3: Yes, some really interesting analysis in the Wall Street Journal, 446 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: Rory Jones summersade the broad terms agreed to Wednesday after 447 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 3: a year fruitless negotiations are not substantially different from those 448 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 3: that were available to both sides. 449 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: Eight months ago. What changed is everything else. 450 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 3: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nettniel, who spent the first half 451 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 3: of the year fighting with political rivals. He was stuck 452 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 3: in a war of attrition with Hamas, facing ominous threats 453 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 3: from iran sallied militia Lebanon hes Bulah. 454 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: Then the tables turned. 455 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 3: Israel killed Hamas leader Yaya Sinwar, battered hes Bulah with 456 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 3: a series of operations, including one of the cleverest ever, 457 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 3: the famous and infamous pagers and walkie talkies Attack Struck 458 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 3: on Iran destroyed most of the country's air defenses. The 459 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 3: Assad regime collapsed in Syria, punching a hole in Iran's 460 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 3: network of militias. 461 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: And Donald J. 462 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 3: Trump, Yeah, and his iven in return to office has 463 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 3: galvanized both sides. Who's the most absolutely true? Who the 464 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 3: latest polling? Who's the most popular politician in Israel right now? 465 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: By far? 466 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 3: Donald Trump not surprising polls higher than anybody. I think 467 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 3: there is a pretty good dividing line among Americans voters 468 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 3: humanity in general. If you had asked the question, are 469 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 3: there times when a leader must act with swift, fair brutality, 470 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 3: and a fair number of human beings would say no, 471 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 3: there's never a reason for that. You can always choose peace, 472 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 3: And a certain number of us who would say, you know, 473 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 3: war is to be avoided at all costs. Loss of 474 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 3: human life, human suffering is to be avoided at virtually 475 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 3: any cost. 476 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: But not any cost. 477 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 3: Sometimes you gotta you gotta kill people and hurt people 478 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 3: and break stuff to prevent much more widespread death and destruction. 479 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: It saves lives. It bothers me that I haven't seen 480 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: anywhere but Fox. 481 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 3: The fact that the current leader, Hope Mass put out 482 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 3: a video last night saying, you know, being basically doing 483 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 3: a touchdown dance. 484 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: We won, We won, We defeated you. Who hope we 485 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: can do it again? What? Why would you agree with 486 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: that guy? 487 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: So nobody but Fox has mentioned that it's only being 488 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 3: covered as Net and Yah, who once again scuttling a 489 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 3: peace deal, doesn't like peace warmonger, He likes dead Palestinians. 490 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 3: But to be fair, Fox did their reporting today was 491 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 3: Net and Yahoo. Hamas says they're willing to go forward 492 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 3: with the deal the the way Joe just laid it 493 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 3: out in the agreement. Hamas is still willing to go 494 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 3: forward with it. Net and Yah who is not? And 495 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 3: they and Net Yahho is not said specifically. Why so 496 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 3: fair to point that out. I guess one final thoughts, 497 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 3: which might re buy one more thing, might be because 498 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 3: the right wing of his coalition is threatening to blow 499 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 3: up the government. The people to the right of Net 500 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 3: and Yahoo are saying, no freaking way we're doing a 501 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 3: deal with these monsters will blow up the government. And 502 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 3: you know, the way their government works, the whole thing 503 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 3: could fall with ally that support. So he might just 504 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 3: be kind of pretending to I don't know about this. 505 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 3: I don't trust these guys to keep them happy. 506 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: Pop right right. 507 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 3: The journal also quotes this fellow is the director of 508 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 3: the Middle East and North Africa Program at Chathamhouse Say 509 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 3: think tank in London. 510 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: Well thought of quote us. 511 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 3: Pressure coming from President Trump directly think has been a 512 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 3: huge motivator, particularly on Prime Minister Net Yahoo. 513 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: But this deal is very fragile. I would agree it helps. 514 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 3: You just said this, It helps to be people be 515 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 3: scared of you. Nobody was scared of Joe Biden. They 516 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 3: knew when push came to shove, your main thing was 517 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 3: going to be don't escalate. But I just shoved you down. 518 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 3: I'm not going to escalate. Yeah, we know you've said 519 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 3: it a thousand times. 520 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 521 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: And if you're laying there on the ground, as Joe Biden, 522 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 3: they just shoved you down, your response is going to 523 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 3: be don't. If you're thinking you're shoving me again, don't embarrassing, 524 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 3: freaking embarrassing. Oh, it's incredibly weak and invited aggression and 525 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 3: illegals to come across. 526 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 1: Don't. Here's my message to illegals thinking of coming to 527 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: our border. Don't. 528 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 3: How can any human being be that in a factual 529 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,479 Speaker 3: and continue to do and say the same things and 530 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 3: not just be so horrifically mortifyingly embarrassed you would change 531 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: your tech. 532 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: I don't get that. Well, I don't know. 533 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 3: We've all seen parents at the store having that sort 534 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 3: of conversation with their child who continues to do whatever 535 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 3: they want. You better stop or I always want to say, 536 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 3: or what it looks like it looks like they can 537 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 3: do whatever they want. Yeah, but hundreds of millions of 538 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 3: people didn't vote for them to become the parent. I mean, anyway, 539 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 3: a couple more thoughts. Very quickly, the editorial board of 540 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 3: the journal is wondering whether Trump will break from the 541 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 3: Biden's script to end Hamasa's rule of Gaza, because that's 542 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 3: got to happen. Oh boy, otherwise there will be no 543 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 3: lasting piece. It's an idiot fantasy that there could be. Yeah, 544 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 3: you talk about the next stage of this. Who's gonna 545 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 3: run that place? That's a complicated one. One more perspective, 546 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 3: here's a conservative Israeli wrote an editorial. Trump forced net 547 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 3: Yahoo to make a deal with the devil. Some hostages 548 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 3: will come home, but Hamas survives, which means more Israelis 549 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 3: and Americans will die. 550 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 1: So that point of view is absolutely alive. 551 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 3: And well, you would never know it from the mainstream 552 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 3: liberal media, but yes, that point of view is not 553 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 3: only alive, but it's valid. And then finally this, and 554 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 3: it's a sobering thought. Indeed, Israel has medical teams, psychological teams, 555 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 3: nutritionists all standing by because the hostages that were released 556 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 3: more than a year ago were in tear ruble shape, 557 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 3: many of them physically and psychologically. 558 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: And that was a year ago. Hard to imagine. 559 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, serious emotional mental issues, malnutrition, weight loss, lice, skin diseases, 560 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 3: you name it. I struggle to see why Israel would 561 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 3: want to do this deal other than well, my theory 562 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 3: that they're trying to fixate on attacking Iran and just 563 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 3: to get you know, try to change world public opinion 564 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 3: because Israel does need the world not to hate them 565 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 3: even more. 566 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: Doesn't do them any good. 567 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I just I think if they can get 568 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 3: some of the hostages back, that's an obvious victory on 569 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 3: a humanitarian level, and then the a fresh new can 570 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 3: of whoop ass will be produced the moment it's needed. 571 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: Oh. 572 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 3: It's also always pointed out by the people over at Commentary, 573 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 3: which is a Jewish publication' that's the Jewish thing. I mean, 574 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 3: that's the Israeli thing. That's their law. We will do 575 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 3: anything to get a hostage back, right, which is why 576 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 3: they have to give one hundred Palestinians for every Jew. 577 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 3: Frequently in these trades, they value life much more highly 578 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 3: than Hamas, which doesn't value it at all. No, trust me, 579 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 3: I value my dog's life more than the leaders of 580 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 3: Hamas value the lives of any individual Palestinian citizen, because 581 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 3: their death is a pr victory. They as it's said, 582 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 3: the only thing they like better than a dead Jew 583 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 3: is a dead Palestinian. 584 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: See isful? Yeah, which is a horrifying situation. 585 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 3: You'll be interesting to see how this plays out and 586 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 3: the coverage of it and what Trump does and says. 587 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: Maybe even today. So we got a lot more on 588 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: the way. 589 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 3: Katie's headlines coming up to stay here. Too much news, 590 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 3: too much news happening. 591 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: There needs to be a limit on the news. 592 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 3: Only three things can happen per day, and only two 593 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 3: of them can be unpleasant. 594 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: Right, that needs to be the new rule. 595 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 3: As I mentioned, we decided we're going to work on 596 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 3: Monday because it's an on garation day and Trump becomes president, 597 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,959 Speaker 3: and there'll be a bunch of speech of fying and 598 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 3: pageantry that we can comme out. 599 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: If you enjoyed our play by play of. 600 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 3: The Carter funeral, you'll enjoy our play by play of 601 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 3: the Trump inauguration. 602 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: Regrettable. 603 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 3: Ah, So let's get to today.

Several details of the timeline of the 608 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 4: full deal remain unclear. 609 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 3: I would imagine ridiculous. Why wouldn't they be committed to 610 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 3: the truce? Again, I don't see what Israel. What Israel 611 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 3: gets out of it?

Again, what's 615 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: the downside for you? 616 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 4: The New York post La Mayor Karen Bass failed to 617 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 4: deploy highly trained, one million dollar crisis response team to 618 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 4: help the wildfire victims. 619 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 3: So he is busy in Ghana, eating, drinking, having a 620 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 3: big time.
