Trump and the art of the peace Deal. Yah. 10 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: A special consideration also given a Benjamin Nett and Yahoo 11 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: the bad cop, without whom the good would not have 12 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: had a chance. You think that's whoy I worked? Or 13 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: was Trump the bad Gump putting pressure on Netan? 14 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: Yahoo? 15 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: Maybe they switched back in Fortan. No, No, I don't 16 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: think so. They're switches. They're like people who are into 17 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: that whole domination, submission sexual thing. 18 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: They're switches. Flip a coin. Maybe, Yeah, I don't know. 19 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: Uh No, you know, there's there's absolutely been some of that. 20 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: I think he has been wrangling both sides in his way. 21 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: My point was mostly because I've come across a couple 22 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: of just useless left leaning pieces of analysis that said, yeah, 23 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: it's a great deal. Get the hostages back. Why did 24 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: it take so long? Come on, you know, did Trump 25 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: get to deserve that much credit? Why didn't net Yang Man? 26 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: Were you? 27 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: Are you doom scrolling? I have taken in so much 28 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: media today. I don't think Trump has gotten this much praise. 29 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: Oh that's true from the mainstream media ever. I mean, 30 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: it's just amazing, it's absolutely. I was thinking about the 31 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: day after January sixth to today and the arc of 32 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I mean, the the people that just can't, 33 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: with a gun to their head say anything even semi 34 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 1: neutral about Donald Trump. They hate him so much, praising 35 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: him like crazy today. It's it's wild. It is wild, 36 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: and it's deserved too. And I've been thinking a lot 37 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: about the contrast between Trump and for instance, Joe Biden 38 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: and you know Obama and others and Republicans for that matter. 39 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: But Trump's boldness, which borders on goes into recklessness sometimes. 40 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely it is. 41 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying this to kick Joe Biden, who 42 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: has one foot in the grave and will be recorded 43 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: as one of his worst presidents ever and deserves it 44 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: without my trying. But the unwillingness to really do anything, 45 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: try anything bold, ruffle any feathers, break any eggs. That's 46 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: characterized a lot of American foreign policy for a long time. 47 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: We've finally seen the contrast and what a robust foreign 48 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: policy looks like. 49 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. 50 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: I saw Ian Bremer, who very seldom has anything positive 51 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: to say, David Ignatius of the Washington Posts, both both 52 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: specifically naming Biden, saying Joe Biden couldn't do this right 53 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: and God forbid, Kamala Harris, can you imagine well another another. 54 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: So that's the most interesting thing about Donald Trump is 55 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: you know, his his his his worst, his own his 56 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: worst enemy on planet Earth is him. It always has 57 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: not even clubs. I mean in the fact that, like 58 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: you said, boldness becomes recklessness. The the other thing is 59 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: the willing to defy norms. I mean, sometimes it brings 60 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: amazing things that nobody thought could happen, that are good, 61 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: and sometimes it's horrible. So, yeah, what's the opposite of 62 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: picking your spots or picking your battles. 63 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: That's Trump? Yeah, but chaos. But he. 64 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: This might be the main thing that he's got going 65 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: for him. And also it makes it difficult for his life. 66 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: He does not care what other people think, right right, Yeah, right, 67 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm going to do what I think 68 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: is the best thing. Well, right, And he would, I'd imagine, 69 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: in the midst of these negotiations say no, the cutteries 70 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: have to say this to you know who Hamas and 71 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: advisors or learned men and women would say, Well, President 72 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,679 Speaker 1: Trump traditionally the guitaris he'd. 73 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: Be like, I don't care. 74 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: No, he would tell him that he didn't do anything 75 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: throughout this peace process where he was thinking, I wonder 76 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: what the people at the Cato Institute are going to 77 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: write about this, that his mind right. 78 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: Is what has the conventional wisdom been here? Yeah, it 79 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: is absolutely amazing. 80 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: And to see people dancing in the streets in Gaza 81 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: and Tel Aviv over this thing, right, I mean, that's 82 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: just stunning. It's an amazing achievement. Well, it's the beginning 83 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: of an amazing achievement. Fingers crossed. Yeah, you know, our 84 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: lips to God's ears. 85 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 2: God. 86 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: I hope it works. I really really hope it works. 87 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: It'd be so good for so many people. Yes, and 88 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: the problem is Hamas. 89 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: And it is. 90 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: But as many people following this closely have pointed out, 91 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: from Tom Friedman in the Washington Post, to everybody it's 92 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: the pressure because of the deal's Trump's made with all 93 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: these air people, the pressure that Arab countries have been 94 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: putting on Hamas. 95 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 2: That's just been It's. 96 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: Never happened before where they look around like does anybody 97 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: support us anymore? No, nobody supports you anymore, including and 98 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a clip of this later the gozzin's. 99 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: I just saw a report on News Nation. They had 100 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: a reporter embedded in Gaza. They were saying, this is 101 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 1: an exclusive, We're the only media outlet in Gaza talking 102 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: to people on the ground and asking him about Hamas, 103 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: and they were every person they talked to. No, Hamas 104 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: doesn't care about us. They've been ruining our lives for 105 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: seventeen years. Were done with them. So Hamas might have 106 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: looked around and had zero support from anybody. 107 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 2: All they have left is terror and the force of arms. 108 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: And so you know, a key part of this deal 109 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: is Hamas disarming, and I don't see that happening. So 110 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: it might just be, you know, the international folks and 111 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: Palestinians and Israel joined together and hunting down the last 112 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: of them. I couldn't know what UH saw. Farid zakaria 113 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: I think he is a smart thinker. On CNN last night, 114 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: said once they give back to hostages, which is gonna 115 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: happen on Monday, I guess or Trump says by Monday, 116 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: which I was kind of surprised. 117 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: I saw. 118 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: I always quote David Ignatius because I know he's got 119 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: tremendous sources inside of white houses in the Pentagon, so 120 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: he you know, he gets information with those people. He said, 121 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: I have zeroed out the hostages are going to be returned. 122 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: I thought, wow, I don't know. Wow, yeah, I know, 123 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: so I thought he's got some reason to believe that anyway, 124 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just just a quick note. I happen 125 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: to hear an interview with the brother of one of 126 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: the believed to be living hostages, and he was explaining 127 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: it was heartbreaking that they. 128 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: Don't dare tell his daughters. Oh yeah, I can. I 129 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: can understand that. 130 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: That their dad, who they barely remember because they're at 131 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: this point they're four and two years old. 132 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 2: Oh my god. No, I wouldn't tell them either. I 133 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: wouldn't tell what's the point. 134 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: Because there have been too many heartbreaks and nightmares. 135 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: And what condition is he going to be in right? Right? 136 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: Which is having been tortured and starved like all of 137 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: the hostages by these inhuman monsters. 138 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: Now for two years. 139 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: They are inhuman monsters, and imagine how hard it is 140 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: to sit across a table from them and sign something 141 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: or shake hands or safe banks or. 142 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: Whatever you'd have to do. But uh, what was my 143 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: point I was going to make. 144 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: Oh, so David Ignatious with all his sources, is saying 145 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: he has zeroed out the hostages are going to be returned. 146 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: And then I said, Salver for Reid Zuccari on CNN, say, 147 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: once Hamas gives up the hostages, they have zer or 148 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: a leverage. That's their only leverage they've got on planet 149 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: Earth is those hostages, and that'll be gone as of Monday, 150 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: and then they just have to trust in an amnesty 151 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: and Trump rating net yaho, I guess. But that's why 152 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: Trump doesn't I'm sorry, that's why Hamas doesn't want to disarm. Yeah, 153 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: fighting that tooth and nail, all right, But you know, 154 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: and I understand why everybody says this is just the beginning. 155 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: Well yeah, okay, but that's the way everything in life works. 156 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: Have a baby, Okay, you're enjoying having a baby, but 157 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: this is just the beginning. Yeah, I know, I know, 158 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: it's just the beginning, right, Yeah, yeah, Well I well, 159 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: and it'll take it. I don't know if that's that 160 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: me or not. No, but just as a an immediately 161 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: dismissive I mean, if you don't. 162 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 2: Skepticism is not dismissiveness. But if you don't understand it's 163 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: only the beginning, you are a moron. That's true. 164 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying about the baby thing. It's like 165 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: stating the unbelieve peably obvious. 166 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 4: Right. 167 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: The peace in the Middle East for all time was 168 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: not declared last night and is going to be solid, 169 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: of course, but you got to start somewhere, and this 170 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: is the best. 171 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 2: Start that has happened. And I don't know, maybe ever. 172 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: Given the pressure coming from the Arab States, Yeah, I 173 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: would agree. 174 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 2: Wow. 175 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting the idea that the reason 176 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: Trump could get the Arab States on board the way 177 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: he did is partially because of all the personal business 178 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: deals he and Jared have done with all these Arab 179 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: countries that a lot of people are fairly uncomfortable with given, 180 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: you know, in the presidency, out of the presidency, back 181 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 1: in the presidency. But that allowed them to build all 182 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: these relationships where they've got him and now they've got 183 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: you know, first name, Basis, got them on the cell phone, 184 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: You're on my favorites list, sort of relationships with all 185 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: these people, right right. That's fascinating it really. They got 186 00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: to teach that in political science classes. Yeah, because you've 187 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: done big, multi billion dollar deals with Jared and these 188 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: other people, you trust them and know them. Yeah, and 189 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: a lot of it, Honestly, Biden esk in its mingling 190 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: of government and commerce. There's no denying that, definitely, But 191 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: it might just be in history is always more complicated 192 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: than people wanted to be. 193 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: But this might be a key element of the whole thing, 194 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 2: right right. 195 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: It reminds me, in a weird way of how the 196 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: mob in New York especially would keep crime off the 197 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: streets in the neighborhoods it controlled. Some of what it 198 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: did was not good, but it could reach out and 199 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: stop bad people from doing bad things. And though I 200 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: don't approve of the co mingling of government and business, 201 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: although it's happening all the time anyway, there is absolutely. 202 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 2: No question that what you said was true. 203 00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: What a lesson for life or something that the of 204 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: this is the awful thing that was October seventh, two 205 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: years and two days ago led to this. Yeah, yeah, almost, 206 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: that's what was the energy to get here. 207 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 2: This is you know, yeah, what does this look like 208 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 2: a year or two from now? I'm so interested. 209 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: I got to start taking care of myself so I 210 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: find out because if so, if it's dead enders, if 211 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: there wasn't peace in the Middle East, you're just gonna 212 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: let yourself go and maybe die pretty much within twenty 213 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: four months. 214 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 2: Oh the trend, I'm on place. 215 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: But if because there they are two real paths this 216 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: might go down. Number one was the you know, inevitable hiccups. 217 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: The piece deal works pretty much and continues down the 218 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: road it seems to be on. Possibility Number two is 219 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: that it doesn't and with the full blessing of the 220 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: United States of America, Israel finishes the job. Well maybe 221 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: either way Hamas and it's you know, the Iranian proxies 222 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: are dead. Yeah, maybe the full blessing of Katar in 223 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Egypt. Also, do you think 224 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: we could get the hostages back and still kill Hamas? Yeah, 225 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: or render them irrelevant. That's the goal. It's not going 226 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: to be easy, but yeah, that's the goal. 227 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: Oh you know. 228 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: Another part of this, it is damned interesting, is to 229 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: get the how many hostages are they're dead and alive, 230 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty alive and twenty some dead. They believe they're 231 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 1: given back two thousand terrorists that Israel has locked up 232 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: two thousand basically Hamas warriors or Hamas adjacent. 233 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: Warriors that they're going to give a baisers certainly. 234 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: And you remember that sinwar bastard that started this whole thing, 235 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: that was the or Straighter of the October seventh and 236 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: died in that rubble throwing a news rock at that drone. 237 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: That guy, he was one of the prisoners who got 238 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: let out last time. They had to do a big deal. 239 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: I mean, the people that they let out are bad 240 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: guys who can go on to do bad things. So 241 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: me interesting to see how that plays out. There's just 242 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: no question that we who cherish life are at a 243 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: disadvantage in that sort of negotiation with people who don't 244 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: give a damn, who are anxious for martyrdom. 245 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: We got to start the show officially. 246 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,479 Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday, 247 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: October ninth or twenty twenty five were armstrong and getting 248 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: we approve of this program. 249 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: Let's begin that officially according to the SEC rules, Rags 250 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 2: at Mark. 251 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 4: Constage us will come back, all coming back Monday. 252 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: All that was Trump on the speaker phone in Israel 253 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: when the announcement happened, and people were cheering, just like 254 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: they were cheering in Gaza, which is quite amazing. 255 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: We got Katie's headlines on the way.

Is it because he leaned on Israel 341 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: so hard. I just think the goodness of it, the 342 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: positive aspects of it, are impossible to ignore. I mean, 343 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: you would have to engage in some serious, serious delusion 344 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: really not to say, hey, this is a chance that 345 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: something really good happening, Right, It's like, if you know, 346 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: it's damn close to the joke that if Trump carried cancer, 347 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: Democrats would come out pro cancer and to be you know, 348 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: cynical or dismissive of this is damn close to that. 349 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 350 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: But I mean it's amazing. I mean, Trump's biggest detractors 351 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: are saying to give him credit on this one. Sure, yeah, yeah, absolutely, 352 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: And my god, if our politics were so far gone 353 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: that they couldn't. 354 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: I mean, it's even worse than I thought it is. 355 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: Anyway, major aspects of the first phase of the deal, 356 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: which apparently has been agreed to, is all living hostages 357 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: held by Hamas are to be released. 358 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: Trump said. 359 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: On Monday forty eight hostages, twenty believed to be alive, 360 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: the bodies of hostages. 361 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: Who have died or to be handed over. Later. 362 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: It said it would need at least ten days to 363 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: locate the bodies of dead hostages, according to people close 364 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: to the talks. God, and just imagine dealing with Hamas 365 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: and biting your tongue. Wow, right, Well, how about the 366 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: fact that the head Hamas negotiator was the guy Israel 367 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: tried to drop a bomb on his head. 368 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: What was that a couple of weeks ago? 369 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: Oh? Really that they missed and they got his son. 370 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 2: Wow, So on both sides, can you imagine? Yeah, well, 371 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 2: that's why. 372 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: That's almost always the way it is at the end 373 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: of the war though, you know, and then you have 374 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: the Germans and the French sitowan. It's hard to imagine 375 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: either one of them being in the same room together. 376 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, let's see. 377 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: Another aspect of this Israel will release Palestinian prisoners. Israel's 378 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: expected to release two hundred once all the hostages are returned. 379 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: Israel has expected to release two hundred and fifty Palestinians 380 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: who are in Israeli prisons and seventeen hundred who have 381 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: been detained in Gaza during the conflict. They're finalizing who 382 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: is on that list and who's not, and Hamas is 383 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: pushing to get as many of the big name guys, 384 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: the worst guys released as possible, including Marwan Barguti, who 385 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: Israel jailed over his role in the Palestinian uprising in 386 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: the early two thousands. Kind of a celeb over there. 387 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: They got posters of them and such. Also part of 388 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: the deal, Israeli defense forces will withdraw from seventy percent 389 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: of the enclave. The deal includes a map of the 390 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: withdrawal lines, but without exact locations or coordinates beyond clave 391 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: being Gaza. Uh yeah, yeah, well they want they don't 392 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: want to be there. So the final lines, the final 393 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: preliminary lines, are still under discussion, apparently. And finally, the 394 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: Rafa crossing with Egypt will open to facilitate humanitarian aid 395 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: and allow for the entry and exit of Palestinians. But 396 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: of course, the dirty little secret of the Middle East 397 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: is ain't nobody wants them? Yeah, Egypt doesn't want any Palestinians, 398 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: Jordan doesn't want any Palestinians. Siria please, But man, the 399 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: rockets start stop coming in from Israel and the troops 400 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: aren't on the ground, and food starts flowing in. Yeah, 401 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: the average Gazin is going to be pretty happy with that. 402 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: So when all of that happens, what are the always angry, 403 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: eternal omnikause college kids going to be screeching about in 404 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: the streets? Good one, back to carving up healthy children 405 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: turning them into transsexuals. 406 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 2: Or what good one? 407 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: Or is there an angle of this that that that 408 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: they're pointing out? It's just horrible. Somehow I haven't heard 409 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: from that crowd in the last twenty four hours. You know, 410 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: a good representation of that crowd is actually, how quickly 411 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: can I find this stand by everybody? 412 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good one. 413 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: As a guy who just finds this sort of stuff 414 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: very interesting. Uh, the whole who the hell's gonna govern 415 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: Gaza thing is going to be really something to follow me. 416 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: Somebody's got to keep picking up the garbage and be 417 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: the police force and blah blah blah, all the things 418 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: that are you know, the civil society. 419 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 2: Who is that going to be right? 420 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: And you know, not to be cynical, but anytime you 421 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: hear the term international peacekeeping force, keep in mind the 422 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: useless blue helmets of the UN. Who have you know, 423 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: a couple of modes Number one do nothing, number two 424 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: rape your women and girls, and steel. 425 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: So anyway, that's gonna be tough. 426 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: But I found the thing I wanted to mention a 427 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: couple of and it's a couple of media notes, but 428 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: they're you know, dancing the same steps as the always 429 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: angry college children who really ought to shut up and 430 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: study because they don't have nearly the life experience to 431 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: be going around telling the world I would ought to 432 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: run itself anyway. A NPR the other day interviewed a 433 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: human rights lawyer about the prospects for the peace proposal. 434 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: Diana Boutu, who was described as a Harvard University lecturer 435 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: and a human rights lawyer, was also a big Hamas supporter, 436 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: called October seventh a great thing. 437 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 2: What did she call it to one? 438 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: A year you know, fighting against the oppressor or whatever, 439 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: and she said she complained that Palestinians and amass are 440 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: expected to make any concessions at all. Then the war quote, 441 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: I think a bigger issue is why is it that 442 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: Palestinian has had to negotiate an end to genocide. NPR 443 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: described her as a human rights lawyer and former Palestinian 444 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: peace negotiator. She was a PLO apparatic and an Hamas supporter. 445 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: And also speaking of the media, good old Al Jazeera, 446 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: Cutter financed Muslim brotherhood run Islamist Al Jazeer. 447 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: So weird we're friends with the quitarist anyway. 448 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: Cutter, facing pressure from Trump, has pushed its Hamas linked 449 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: news outlet Al Jazeera to reduce incitement to terror throughout 450 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: the Middle East. Israel's Channel twelve journalist to meet Siegel reported, 451 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: and you have to remember Al Jazeera has like a 452 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 1: different newsroom for different parts of the world. The Al 453 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: Jazeera US is quite a bit more careful than say 454 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: the Middle East Al Jazeera. But this Israeli news journalist 455 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: to report. He asks what's going on at Ali his era. 456 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: If you go onto its website, you'll see relatively mild 457 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: news items as opposed to the incitement that is usually 458 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: prominent on the Katari propaganda network. Qatar is carrying out 459 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: a purge at Al Jazeera, and the network is starting 460 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: to focus more on the humanitarian situation in Gaza quote, 461 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: instead of praising and boasting about the actions of Hamasa's 462 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: military wing. You know what Trump is saying behind closed 463 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 1: doors to his closest friends. This is what he believes 464 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: about the world at his core, and he's very close 465 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: to right. When it comes down to it, people want 466 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: to make money. That's the driving force, and that's what 467 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: may have brought all of this together is the personal 468 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: deals he and Jared and his family have been doing 469 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: with all these Arab countries and the Qatar thing. You 470 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: were just saying, when it got down to it, there's 471 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: rich people that want to get richer. 472 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they want more than anything else. Well, 473 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 2: and this is always been true, but I believe Trump 474 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 2: is a little more nakedly frank about the silver or 475 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: lead deal. 476 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: If they talk about the cartels offering, you know, officials 477 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: in Mexico, for instance, he went to the cutteries and 478 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: he said, look, you can either make a crapload of 479 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: money or I'll let Israel go nuts. 480 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 2: So let's talk. 481 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and often, you know, that sort of transaction is 482 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: dressed up in fancy Sunday go to meet and clothes 483 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: in democracy, and people try to pretend it's not happening. 484 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: But I think Trump just probably at this point, especially 485 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: in this conflict, said look, yeah, he's got. 486 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 2: A couple of choices. 487 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: It's not much different an offer than Pablo Salazar would 488 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: have given you that Escobar Pablo Escobar gave you. 489 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 2: You want to get rich or you want to die. 490 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 2: Those are your two. 491 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: Options, right, right, yeah, yeah, but this is in the 492 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: name of peace. Now, Islamism isn't going anywhere.

The headline is Trump cures cancer. 619 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: Than the bottom half is angry protesters in the streets 620 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: waving placards that say curing cancer is racist. We have 621 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: the right to die from cancer and we want our 622 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: cancer back. 623 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 2: It's pretty accurate.

There's 625 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: another meme going around. Adam Carolla may have had this idea. First, 626 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: not sure. He told Guttfeld that Trump should change the 627 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: name of ICE to NICE, the National Immigration and Customs 628 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: Enforcement Agency. Then the Dems would have to condemn Nice. 629 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: They would call for abolishing Nice. We hate Nice, get 630 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: rid of Nice, no more Nice. And then this it's 631 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: criticism from our old friend JT in Livermore. First of all, 632 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: he points out that one of us is having to disavow. 633 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: I disavow much more than the other one. Perhaps someone 634 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: is out of the control here in the in the 635 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: show what are we disavowing I'm often disavowing your insanity. Oh, 636 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: you're outrageous things you say terrible? 637 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 2: All right, anyway, And. 638 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: Then then he also says, we appreciate he appreciates us 639 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: not wanting the show to be too dark, but he is, uh, 640 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: he says, which brings me to a certain member of 641 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: the show who, as of late, has seems is seemingly 642 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: obsessed with their impending demise. Said person is constantly bringing 643 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: up the limited number of breaths, limited number of days, 644 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: mentioning how they're in the winter of their life. In general, 645 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: seems to be obsessing over the mortality. 646 00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 2: I see. 647 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: I don't love being constantly reminded of my own mortality 648 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: in a way above I love jocularity about death. 649 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 2: But okay, anyway, we got a text. 650 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,399 Speaker 1: We got a text the other day from someone who said, 651 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: I've been listening for ten years. You were the most 652 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: depressing today you've ever been. That is fair criticism. Yeah, 653 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: that's not good. We got to find a way to 654 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: break out of that. It's tough when the times are 655 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: what they are, but we will try. We will try 656 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: not to be the darkest show in America, perhaps the 657 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: entire Western atmosphere. If you miss the segment and you 658 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: wanted the darkness, get the podcast Armstrong and get you 659 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: on demand Armstrong and Getty
