I'd saying, feels like it's 16 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: all going to turn. 17 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 3: Into something in both of those regions, both Europe and 18 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 3: the Middle East. 19 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 4: I was just thinking myself as I walked in the studio. 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 4: I think, sometimes what I'm mostly interested lines up with 21 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 4: what I think listeners are probably interested in, but sometimes not. 22 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 4: And I and on this one, like, I don't have 23 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 4: any idea how into the whole Russia, Ukraine, y'all are 24 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 4: I'm that's to me. The most interesting thing today is 25 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 4: Trump going to stick with his punishing Russia through sanctions 26 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 4: because they didn't meet his deadline? Or is he gonna, 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 4: in my opinion, fall for another bogus delay and put 28 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 4: it off until the talks, and then the talks will 29 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 4: claim something and it'll get put off again. If that happens, 30 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 4: I'm gonna be highly disappointed. 31 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, boy, there are so it's like a hand of 32 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 3: cards with nothing but wild cards. 33 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. 34 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 3: I think you know your Zelensky, I know what their 35 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: goals are and what they hope to achieve. But yeah, 36 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: that's an excellent set of questions. What is Putin trying 37 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 3: to accomplish other than just a slight delay, If anything, 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: Trump's actual attitude toward Putin and this whole deal at 39 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: this point also mysterious. 40 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, because I was gonna say, if, if if Trump 41 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 4: is aligned where some of you are and some of 42 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: the magabases where not our circus, not our monkeys, we 43 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 4: don't need to be involved in this, well, then he 44 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 4: just should just say that out loud, you know, as 45 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 4: President of the United States and commander in chief. I 46 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 4: don't believe this is our war, So good luck to y'all. 47 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 4: But if he's acting like he needs the war to 48 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 4: end and he's angry with Putin and he's threatening him, 49 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 4: all this stuff and then he doesn't follow through it all. 50 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: I just think that's going to be the worst case scenario. 51 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, And honestly, that first suggestion of what his attitude 52 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 3: might be I need to quibble with that because that 53 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 3: is underappreciate it, I think, particularly by casual geopolitics fans. 54 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: If Administration A makes solemn promises, even if Administration A 55 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 3: is run by I don't know, Senile Mummy for instance, 56 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: and the administration that's not a very charitable view Mummy 57 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 3: for instance. Anyway, uh, and then Administration B comes in 58 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:33,839 Speaker 3: and immediately rescinds America's commitment to that promise. And there's 59 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: a caveat to this, but that will seriously impinge on 60 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 3: Administration b's ability to get international cooperation on any number 61 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 3: of topics, because every country on the world, around the 62 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 3: world is going to say, yeah, they're making this demand 63 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: or this promise, but they're gonna reset in a couple 64 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: of years. So no, we're not going to go along 65 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: with your plan. We can't afford to your too volatile. 66 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 3: And that is incredibly important. Here's my caveat. Sometimes administrations 67 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 3: do stuff so dumb you have to do that, but 68 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: you have to understand how serious a thing that is. 69 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 4: When you do, why does Administration A, this fictional administration 70 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 4: A is being led. 71 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 3: Back totally from our imaginations. Perhaps I don't even know 72 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: this administration's second in command is dumber than a dog. 73 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: I don't know, It's all in our imaginy. Could go on. 74 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 4: So, in this fictional scenario, administration A with a senile 75 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 4: mummy who regularly falls upstairs. 76 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: In the half with dog second in command? 77 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 4: Yes, why is he getting credit for saying we'll stay 78 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 4: with you to the end, We're committed to the very end, 79 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: and we're not even going to give you bullets in 80 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 4: the beginning though, We'll just give you meals and blankets. 81 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 4: Why do you get what do you get credit for that? 82 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 3: Trump's given way more weaponry, like serious weaponry, than Biden 83 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 3: ever did. Biden's talk was better, but he didn't actually 84 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: do near as much. Well, most of the weaponry we've 85 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 3: given him is defensive at this point, I think for sure. 86 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 3: But Biden didn't give him offensive or I'm not given 87 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 3: I'm not giving Biden credit for anything, but I feel 88 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 3: like he gets credit for saying we're with you to 89 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 3: the end, even though they we weren't giving them anything 90 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 3: to do anything other than lose less slowly, right right, Yeah, 91 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: which frustrates me any who clearly won't Trump look like 92 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: a punk if he lets Putin kick the can down 93 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: the road? I mean, because it's clearly just a ploy 94 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: to avoid the sanctions that are supposed to kick in today. Yeah, 95 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: and Donald Jay has spoken to that. I have a 96 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 3: feeling he's ready for that in what SAE He's already 97 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: identified that as a Putin tactic. So we'll see, Well, is. 98 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 4: There a way around delaying the sanctions that doesn't make 99 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 4: you look like a punk? 100 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: What would that be? God? I don't know. 101 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 3: I could, I could cook up a hypothetical for you, 102 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 3: but is that I would be very very hesitant to 103 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 3: accept that sort of thing if I were in Trump's shoes, and. 104 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: I think he will be too. 105 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 3: I hope he's gonna want rock solid assurances or else 106 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 3: he will bring down various hammers of various sizes. 107 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: Well, we'll play the clip later. 108 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 4: But so Trump originally said it's gonna be Putin, Zelensky 109 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 4: and me. Then Putin came out and said, yesterday's no Zelensky. 110 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 4: I'll meet with Trump, but I ain't meet with Zelensky. 111 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 4: Then Trump later in the day said, okay, just you 112 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 4: and me. Has letting Putin do way too much dictating 113 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 4: in my dictating the terms to me? 114 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 3: Well, now I heard it said then that Trump said, well, 115 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 3: I'll meet with you, but only if the plans are 116 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 3: laid to then. 117 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 4: That's funny with So maybe that happened after I went 118 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 4: to bed, as maybe yours happened after mine. I don't know, 119 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 4: since it's changes on a moment by moment basis. 120 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: Anyway, we should speaking of which in the Middle East, 121 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: which I referenced, the Israeli cabinet in an overnight meeting 122 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 3: has said yeah, okay, let's go ahead and occupy at 123 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,559 Speaker 3: least Gaza City. 124 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 5: Uh. 125 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: There's a fair amount of controversy over that. But meanwhile, 126 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 3: across the border in Lebanon, and I know this is 127 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: kind of backstagey, but it's really important for a lot 128 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 3: of people. They don't follow Lebanon, Lebanon where Hesba lah is. 129 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: Picture this a political party that has an army. Okay, 130 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: not a good situation. Lebanon is saying, at least tentatively, 131 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: only the only the government gets to have an army 132 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 3: from here on out, and we're about to enforce it, 133 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: which could seriously rein in radical Islamism in that region, 134 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 3: particularly that sponsored by Iran, so could be a real 135 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: pivot point for there too. 136 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 4: I had stuff to say about all this. The reporting 137 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 4: on it is driving me nuts. But as usual, because 138 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 4: it's so bad, let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, 139 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 4: He's Joe Getty on this Holy Count's Friday.

Okay, 143 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 4: let's begin, and then officially, according to the FCC rules 144 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 4: and regulations, here we go with the show starts at mark. 145 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: They're expecting it. Then you was coming. 146 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 6: The market was down, but not as much as it 147 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 6: could have been. The Grand Experiment has begun. Tires the 148 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 6: like of which has not been seen for a century 149 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 6: now in place, and really we just wait and see. 150 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: God experiment has begun. 151 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: And that's one hundred percent true. That is one hundred 152 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 4: percent true. The Grand Experiment has begun. 153 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 3: According to that Star Wars character from the CANTEENA or 154 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 3: whatever that was. 155 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: And everyone else with normal voices. 156 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 3: About the tariff wars and does it solve your budget 157 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 3: problems and all the things that have been claimed. We 158 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: get to find out soon. Are we on shoring our 159 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 3: manufacturing might again? Yes, no we're not. 160 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: Probably not. 161 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: Occurred to me the other day, And I know this 162 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 3: is not exactly original thought and original thought, but why 163 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 3: does every everybody in space? Everybody have a British accent? 164 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 3: Always do they? 165 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 4: I not paid attention, But if I'm thinking about exception 166 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 4: of maybe the Guardians of the Galaxies, Star Wars, all 167 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 4: your space creatures except for like Luke Skywalker because Mark 168 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 4: Hamill probably couldn't pull off. 169 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 3: A British accent, Everybody's got an English accent. I can't 170 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 3: even remember what I was watching the other day.

Should be relegated to 411 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 4: the One More Thing podcast. Maybe while you are asleep, 412 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 4: this happened and you don't know it. The Israeli government 413 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 4: late yesterday early today, depending on where you are approved 414 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 4: a plan to expand the war by taking control of Gaza, 415 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 4: a pivotal and risky decision. The New York Times says 416 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 4: that went against recommendations of the Israeli military. 417 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: The subheadline from everybody is. 418 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 4: It stopped short of a full takeover of Gaza city. Okay, well, 419 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 4: how does that fit in with what was actually approved? 420 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 4: The cabinet approved five principles for ending the war, disarming Hamas, 421 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 4: the return of all fifty hostages, twenty of whom are 422 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 4: thought to be alive, the demilitarization of all of Gaza, 423 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 4: is Raeli security control over the enclave, and the establishment 424 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 4: of an alternative civilian administration. How are those five objectives 425 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,959 Speaker 4: going to be met without a full takeover of Gaza? 426 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 4: But I guess that allows net Nyabu the wiggle room 427 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 4: by saying we're not going to fully take it over, We're. 428 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: Just going to accomplish those five goals. 429 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 3: And given the context of everything that's happened, I think 430 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 3: all five of those goals are perfectly reasonable. 431 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: So the hostages will. 432 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 3: Not all come back, unfortunately, but no, yeah, that's that's 433 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 3: perfectly reasonable. And the idea is they will they're not 434 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 3: going to plan to hold onto Gaza indefinitely. They will 435 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 3: just clean house then transfer control of the territory to 436 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 3: quote Arab forces that will govern it properly. And how 437 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 3: long will this no sence Islamis lunatics. 438 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 4: According to The New York Times, it is likely to 439 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 4: take the military days at least to call up reserve forces, 440 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 4: carry out troop deployments for a push into Gaza City, 441 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 4: and allow time for the force to vacuus of tens 442 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 4: of thousands of Palestinians from new areas of combat. 443 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: So uh oh, this is my favorite part. 444 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 4: Some analysts have said that the plan for the new 445 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 4: offensive maybe a threat to compel Hamas to offer concessions 446 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 4: in a stalled ceasefire negotiation. 447 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think all of war is. 448 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 4: That it's an attempt to compel the other side to 449 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 4: agree to your terms. 450 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: Yes, that is what is. It's what you're doing in 451 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: a war to a better settlement. Yes, that's some excellent analysis. 452 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: H huh. 453 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 4: And they go on to say that talks to achieve 454 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 4: a ceasefire and the release of hostages hit an impass with. 455 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: Here's my favorite part. 456 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 4: Actually, this is my favorite favorite part with the Israelian 457 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 4: Hamas officials blaming each other. Nice job, New York Times 458 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 4: to make it seem like it's just a fifty to 459 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 4: fifty Who are you gonna blame? Both Israel and Hamas 460 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 4: have got complaints about the ceasefire. Give me a freaking break, 461 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 4: Are you kidding? One side wants the other side to 462 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 4: be The other side says if you stop saying that 463 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 4: will quit. 464 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: Right or, as. 465 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 3: Mike Watson wrote in The Free Beacon recently, that this 466 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 3: latest round of talks will not produce much of value 467 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 3: because it does not take seriously the aspirations of the 468 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 3: people residing in the West Bank and Gaza. The only 469 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 3: state they get they can get is one they don't want, 470 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 3: so the bloodshed shed will continue. They want to remove 471 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 3: Israel from the map. Those who are in power now 472 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 3: I'm ever gonna get that. 473 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 4: I think this is interesting, if accurately reported by all 474 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 4: your major news sources, which almost entirely are against Israel. 475 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: So you have to keep that in mind. With all 476 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: the reporting. 477 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 4: That the military was arguing against this. The current chief 478 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 4: of the military that was put in by net and 479 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 4: Yahoo shared his concerns about the exhaustion and fitness of 480 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 4: reservists because they've been fighting this for quite a while. 481 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 4: And about the military becoming responsible for governing millions of Palestinians. 482 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: I could see how you'd run the military. 483 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 4: You'd think, man, we are going to be in a 484 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 4: hostile area for a long time with everybody wanting to 485 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 4: kill us. 486 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: Right right. 487 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 3: So yeah, there's that's absolutely legitimate, and that's a hell 488 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 3: of a challenge. But again, the analysis from the mainstream 489 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 3: media to me is idiotic because it overlooks some absolutely 490 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 3: fundamental facts, including this again quoting from the Gent and 491 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 3: the Free beeakon a quick comparison to the dueling national 492 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 3: movements shows why this stuff won't work. David Bengurian and 493 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 3: the Zionists were willing to accept nearly any agreement that 494 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 3: offered them a state because they prioritized having one even 495 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 3: before the British left. They built the institutions needed to 496 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 3: govern Isurreel and defend it from Arab attacks. The Jews 497 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 3: made their state, they didn't demand someone else to hand 498 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 3: it to them. Rather than build a state, the Palestinian 499 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 3: Arabs based their national identity on resistance to Zionism. Accordingly, 500 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 3: they have readjected every offer to settle their dispute with 501 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,239 Speaker 3: the Jews, and he goes into the history of it, 502 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 3: several great opportunities for a solid Palestinian state that permitted 503 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 3: Israel to resist, and every single time, at the very end, 504 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 3: the governing authority said, Nope, We're going to. 505 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: Keep fighting the Jews. Another hilarious thing. 506 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 4: The New York Times reported on the latest development, the 507 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 4: military leadership would prefer a new cease fire instead of 508 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,959 Speaker 4: ramping up fighting. Yeah, I'm sure they would, But how 509 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 4: are you going to get that to happen when your 510 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 4: opponent still wants you dead and has not even pretended 511 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 4: that they don't want you to They can't even bring 512 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 4: themselves to pretend that they don't want to kill you. Right, 513 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 4: Maybe the most important part of this is Trump, in 514 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 4: a statement yesterday, said it's really up to Israel what 515 00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 4: they do. So instead of a Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, don't, 516 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 4: what do you say to Israel's attempt to go into Rafa? 517 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 4: Remember they asked Kamala Harris during the election, don't. So 518 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 4: they told Israel don't on all these and Trump said. 519 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: No, it's up to them. 520 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 4: On a basically go in and take over Gaza, So 521 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 4: that gives them quite a bit of cover the fact 522 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 4: that there's international condemnation. There's always international condemnation of Israel 523 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 4: over everything they do, because much of the world hates Israel. 524 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: Right right? 525 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 3: Or I would, you know, to be a little more specific, 526 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 3: I think they've been steeped in the postmodern mania that 527 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 3: so much of the you know, college educated elite in 528 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 3: the US have. It's this phenomenon is not restricted to 529 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 3: the US, sort of pointing out in fact, like the 530 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 3: ideological father of it was the Frenchman. So yeah, they're 531 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 3: all steeped in this settler colonial thing. Plus, as I 532 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 3: said earlier, the Macrones of the world, for instance, And 533 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 3: and what's his face? The new guy in Canada who 534 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 3: would have been the conservative if Trump hadn't threatened to 535 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: annex Canada over and over again. 536 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: But what are you gonna do anyway? 537 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 3: What they are saying to Israel is, hey, you got 538 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 3: to do what's best for me, because I've got my 539 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 3: radical college students in my left. He's going crazy over here, 540 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 3: so please come to a peace settlement. Israel says, well, 541 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 3: it would be a fake peace settlement and it would 542 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 3: just enable. 543 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: A moster re armed. Well, we don't care. 544 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 3: We got protests in our streets, responds Macrone. 545 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 4: So again the total headline, Israeli Security Cabinet approves plan 546 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 4: to take control of Gaza City. It was a majority 547 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 4: win for the side that wants to go in. And 548 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 4: it's not just netn Yahoo trying to hold on to 549 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,959 Speaker 4: government or the way it's being portrayed on CNN or wherever. 550 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just have not heard anybody make a counter 551 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 3: case and steal man their arguments as they say about 552 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,719 Speaker 3: what is the altar hernative that ensures Israeli security? 553 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: They always just kind of blah blah blah. 554 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 3: You know, international force or an agreement or a treaty 555 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 3: or something like that. 556 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: But it's got to at least like half take shape. Well, 557 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: for that's an alternative. 558 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 3: An idea is not reason enough for the Israelis to reach. 559 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 4: A ceasefire, even some of the families of the hostages, 560 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 4: and god, what a horrible situation to be in. And 561 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 4: how dare I criticize them? But when you're when you're saying, no, 562 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 4: don't go in militarily, we need the hostages back, how 563 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 4: do you think that's going to occur? 564 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: Right? We will never be given back. 565 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 4: What indication do you have that there's a way to 566 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 4: get Hamas to give you your your loved one back alive. 567 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 4: Why would the all of a sudden do that, right, 568 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 4: I'm mystified by that, the protests in the street, What 569 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 4: do you what is your plan? You think if they think, 570 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 4: I guess they think if Israel pulls their forces out 571 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 4: of Gaza, Hamas give the hostages back and. 572 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: Things would go back to people and grief. 573 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 3: Stricken, which is a really difficult position to bargain from. 574 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 3: And again I have great sympathy for them. It's unthinkable. Yeah, 575 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 3: pretty awful.
