• 1:08
  very popular because I know how mornings roll. President Trump
• 1:13
  on the peace deal in the Middle.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: East, tremendous help, as you know, with everybody from Steve
• 1:19
  Whitcoff and Jared Kushner and Marco and we had everybody JD.
• 1:25
  The whole group was just amazing, and the military was,
• 1:30
  as you know, very instrumental in getting this done. We
• 1:33
  have a great military with great leadership. The whole world
• 1:36
  came together. To be honest, so many countries that you
• 1:39
  wouldn't have even thought of it and they came together.
• 1:42
  The world has come together around this deal, and that's
• 1:45
  something I would say that without that wouldn't happen. So
• 1:50
  many countries that you wouldn't have thought of have wired
• 1:53
  their best wishes and their commitment to do whatever is necessary.
• 1:58
  The countries surround have all signed I mean, they're all
• 2:01
  signed up, and it's been really an amazing period of
• 2:06
  time and so great for Israel, so great for Muslims,
• 2:10
  for the Arab countries, and so great for this country,
• 2:15
  for the United States of America, and that we could
• 2:17
  be involved in, you know, making a deal like this
• 2:20
  happened because it was you know, many years they talked
• 2:23
  about peace in the Middle East. This is more than Gaza.
• 2:26
  This is peace in the Middle East, and it's an
• 2:28
  incredible thing.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: This quick note, one of the things that is not
• 2:34
  talked about very loudly in this is that a lot
• 2:38
  of the countries that have signed on to this peace accord,
• 2:42
  this trade deal, built on the skeletons of the old
• 2:48
  Abraham Accords and expanding on them, is that it undermines
• 2:56
  a Iran, which I think is strategic in terms of
• 3:01
  what it does to Iran, China and Russia and that
• 3:05
  acxis and what does it do and what does it
• 3:10
  empower us to do in our discussions with Russia, because
• 3:14
  that as well is still going on. As much as
• 3:17
  peace is raining down and celebrations in Gaza City and Jerusalem.
• 3:22
  At the same time, disquiet amongst those who see it
• 3:27
  as appeasement. And we'll get into that with you as
• 3:30
  well this morning, as we'll lay out the first things.
• 3:36
  Blessed art is what Donald Trump posted to social media
• 3:42
  yesterday as the announcement came that Hamas had agreed to
• 3:49
  the peace Accords and the trade deal that will ensue
• 3:54
  twenty point plan that needs to still be fleshed out
• 3:57
  to some degree, but the hostages are coming home. And
• 4:00
  that brought Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, to say,
• 4:04
  the approval of the first phase of the plan, all
• 4:07
  the hostages will be coming home. This is a diplomatic success,
• 4:11
  in a national and moral victory for the State of Israel.
• 4:16
  Secretary General of the UN Antonio Gutierrez said, I welcome
• 4:20
  the announcement of an agreement to secure ceasefire and release
• 4:23
  of hostages. This momentous opportunity must not be lost. Afterwards,
• 4:30
  President Trump was asked if there would be a standalone
• 4:34
  bill to make sure service members are paid during the
• 4:37
  partial government shutdown, which triggers at Friday evening. He said
• 4:43
  it probably will happen, though at a separate press event,
• 4:47
  House speaker Mike Johnson said he wouldn't call for such
• 4:51
  a vote. Yeah, that probably will happen, though, President Trump assured.
• 4:57
  In his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney earlier
• 5:01
  this week, apparently the two discussed reopening the Keystone exl pipeline.
• 5:07
  President Trump said they spoke about it. An official said
• 5:11
  it came up during their negotiations because Canada had been
• 5:16
  trying to get the pipeline reopened ever since President Biden
• 5:21
  closed it on the first day of his administration. Publics
• 5:26
  is one of Florida's largest grocery store chains, and they
• 5:29
  will now allow customers to open carry guns in their
• 5:33
  stores after court ruling at the end of September in
• 5:37
  the First District Court of Appeal which struck down the
• 5:40
  state's longstanding ban on open carry, ruling it unconstitutional. The
• 5:47
  decision now allows adults to openly carry in public, while
• 5:51
  giving private businesses the option to prohibit open carry on
• 5:56
  their premises. The hero, all of a sudden, the script
• 6:07
  this appeared, apologies, but those are what we have as
• 6:16
  our first things this morning, and there were a couple others.
• 6:19
  I'll pull them up and we'll find them in the
• 6:22
  archives and get them for you in a moment. On
• 6:24
  First Thing today on the talk media network. At Fishburn

  Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:13
  am Doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
• 8:46
  in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

• 9:13
  will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
• 9:26
  threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
• 9:33
  your personal information like your solid security number or bank account,
• 9:38
  or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG

• 9:58
  Speaker 12: Hiverybody, I'm Jack. It's always a boy growing up on
• 10:01
  a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals. I'm
• 10:04
  not only in awe of their beauty and kindness, but
• 10:06
  also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds
• 10:09
  who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who
• 10:13
  work hard to provide for their young, or penguins who
• 10:15
  travel up to five hundred miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:24
  This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
• 10:33
  saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
• 10:39
  They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 10:42
  in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
• 10:44
  highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
• 10:47
  in need. So please join me an American Humane and
• 10:50
  supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
• 10:53
  on this planet we inhabit together. Go to American Humane

  Speaker 13: Oh bruh, that's buzzed.

  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 14: And now a.
• 11:06
  Speaker 15: Speech I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  art and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my.
• 11:15
  Speaker 15: Brain is saying when it's time to go home, Somebody
• 11:18
  call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: Love that guy, me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
• 11:24
  it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
• 11:39
  One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
• 11:49
  That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
• 11:53
  leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
• 11:56
  improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
• 12:00
  when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
• 12:02
  energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
• 12:06
  there are day to day things you can do. Lower
• 12:09
  your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
• 12:12
  close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
• 12:15
  air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

  Speaker 17: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
• 12:44
  but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

  Speaker 2: Absolutely on your to do list. Putting the radio on
• 13:14
  is the first thing today?
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: Would you teach you tuber.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: By example? By example, let's tell you the only way
• 13:27
  you're doing?
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: Would you take that?
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: Howard youach?
• 13:31
  Speaker 18: You?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Tell you what the view is beautiful? Up here?
• 13:35
  Speaker 18: Do you believe the victims of my comproment?
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Interesting that you know. That's one of those phrases.
• 13:44
  Speaker 18: Change your mind, change when you when you realize and
• 13:50
  you look at linguistics, a phrase like victim of compromise
• 13:57
  is woven into the fabric of English, so one has.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: To figure that it's happened enough times to archaeologically speaking,
• 14:12
  been woven into the fabric of who we are enough
• 14:15
  times that we say, well, victim of compromise, it's just
• 14:18
  the thing that happened. Yet we're told time and time again,
• 14:24
  compromises a laudable thing. Compromises good. Giving the other guy
• 14:32
  what he wants is noble. Giving up what you want
• 14:38
  or need or have earned is noble, and is certainly.
• 14:46
  Understanding one another and coming to accord is important. But
• 14:53
  coming to an accord and compromise is not a synonym.
• 15:02
  It's used that way sloppily many times. But when we
• 15:11
  bring this up, Tom writes in to JT in the
• 15:16
  Morning Radio at gmail dot com, longtime caller, first time listener, No,
• 15:20
  I mean other way around. Tom's been listening to me
• 15:24
  since he was in law enforcement in our flagship city
• 15:27
  and continues to do so. You need to rewind your
• 15:33
  words on Obamacare, Tom writes, you said years ago that
• 15:38
  Obamacare was a setup due to explode from the beginning.
• 15:42
  The Obamacare fuse was time to collapse, in time to
• 15:46
  call for a single payer catastrophe. We remember you called
• 15:50
  it long ago, and we bring this up in conjunction
• 15:54
  with these that Susan Collins is proposing. You know, we
• 16:04
  know more about the Israel Hamas Piece deal than this
• 16:09
  supposed compromise that Republican Governor Susan Collins. Did you hear
• 16:16
  the air quotes? I was trying to make sure that
• 16:18
  the air quotes were self evident. But so Susan Collins
• 16:23
  offers this deal, this compromise that she would deliver enough
• 16:29
  for Republicans to vote in favor of extending the ENDICS
• 16:35
  and enlarging the Enhanced Premium Tax Credits otherwise known as
• 16:41
  a subsidy for of Affordable Care Act that President Biden
• 16:48
  put in in twenty twenty one. The average premium would
• 16:51
  rise by seventy five percent under Obamacare. And this is
• 16:57
  what Tom's talking about. And this was the design, not
• 17:00
  a flaw, but a feature. So this happens, and now
• 17:05
  the people who are living under Obamacare are now driven
• 17:10
  like the psychotic that shot the United Healthcare CEO to
• 17:15
  blame the insurance industries and yet again feed the Bernie
• 17:20
  Sanders movement of single payer, government run healthcare. Now. I
• 17:25
  don't know where Tom stands on President Trump's interactions with
• 17:29
  the pharmaceutical industry. Trump RX is actually a website now
• 17:34
  that's been started because there is great concern amongst conservatives
• 17:39
  that some of the things that Donald Trump is doing
• 17:41
  populism under the banner of populism is just going to
• 17:45
  set up the toolkit for which the American left will
• 17:50
  bring down private insurance, private healthcare and bring it all
• 17:56
  under the banner. Now, the one thing that's happened since
• 18:00
  twenty twenty one is this continued merger and acquisition campaign
• 18:07
  in the health provider industry. And what's interesting to me, Tom,
• 18:13
  is that a lot of the people who've been buying
• 18:15
  a lot of the hospital systems out there are tied
• 18:18
  to health insurance providers, you know, and it's interesting that
• 18:24
  we have a blind spot for that. Economically speaking, we
• 18:28
  don't seem to have a problem with health insurance companies
• 18:32
  owning big regional hospitals. That seems to be fine. Yet
• 18:37
  if a gun manufacturer gives a buck three eighty to
• 18:42
  a Republican, it's front page news. So the shutdown fuel
• 18:53
  is burning this Obamacare subsidy from Powergon Health Institute President
• 19:09
  Brian Blaze. What the Biden COVID credit did is they
• 19:13
  made the situation worse. In two ways they shifted a
• 19:17
  portion of the premium away from the enrollees to the taxpayer,
• 19:21
  and they brought more people into the subsidy structure by
• 19:25
  lifting the cap at four times the poverty level. Using
• 19:32
  what had been the premise of Obamacare, which is that
• 19:35
  the government can force you to do engage in commerce
• 19:40
  that you would not engage in otherwise. And I am
• 19:46
  not a jurist. I've covered plenty of it. I have
• 19:50
  jurists in my world. I have lawyers in my world,
• 19:53
  in my circle. And I've said this time and again
• 19:57
  about Obamacare, how is it constitutional that the government find you,
• 20:08
  I'm sorry, tax you for not purchasing something. And this
• 20:17
  goes to John Roberts and rewriting the law from the
• 20:20
  Supreme Court bench, where John Roberts seeing you know Obamacare,
• 20:25
  and said, well, I mean, this isn't going to fly
• 20:29
  because the government, the Congress doesn't have the authority to
• 20:33
  make something that you know, if you don't buy it,
• 20:36
  you'll be fined. However, if you call it a tax,
• 20:41
  it's fine.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: The Democrats in Congress desperately did not want to call
• 20:46
  obamacares finds attacks. They wanted them to be fines because
• 20:52
  Taxes are bad people here. Tax even Democrat voters here,
• 20:57
  tax new tax, big tax, and you lose a significant
• 21:05
  enough portion of your base to lose a voting majority.
• 21:11
  So John Roberts decided, well, you meant tax, because obviously
• 21:15
  Congress only has power to tax, not create a fine
• 21:18
  for not buying something. So he wrote them a whole card.
• 21:25
  But where is the jurisprudence that will bring a challenge
• 21:29
  to that case. Maybe this will bring one about, but
• 21:33
  we need somebody to challenge John Roberts ruling on this,
• 21:41
  in which he said, it's perfectly fine for Congress to
• 21:44
  tax you on not purchasing something, which still is as
• 21:49
  much as the puzzlement of finding me for not doing something,
• 21:55
  which we saw with the vaxes in a lot of ways,
• 21:57
  but taxing me for something had to do.
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:22
  By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 22:27
  and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 22:41
  your hands and feet. Well our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,

• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Healthcare. As Tom said years ago twenty ten, we warned
• 28:47
  that it appeared to me that Obamacare was a setup
• 28:52
  that nowhere would you see there was no there was
• 28:56
  no way that this was a sustainable plan. As Tom
• 29:00
  points out in his email that we remember you said
• 29:05
  it then that this was going to bring on a
• 29:11
  collapse of the private healthcare system. And COVID really became
• 29:17
  the accelerant, if you want to use the metaphor of
• 29:24
  a arson, The accelerant was COVID. So in twenty twenty one,
• 29:31
  under the auspices of oh my goodness, we're afraid of
• 29:35
  a flu bug because we can't dare say, people with
• 29:40
  comobidities or perhaps at greater risk of having an adverse
• 29:45
  reaction to this flu bug. So we must all hide
• 29:48
  in the basement, shut down our economy, and subsidized not
• 29:53
  just the diagnosis of Sar's Cove two, which would make
• 30:00
  hospitals more money, but also expand and extrapolate subsidies given
• 30:06
  to those who were accepting what in many cases were
• 30:11
  uninsurable illness under the Affordable Care Act. Because this crisis,
• 30:18
  what did Horace Cooper call it, the norm busting scenario.
• 30:26
  So all of a sudden, we have an illness that
• 30:28
  our insurance won't cover because Obamacare. And so the Biden
• 30:34
  administration said, well, we'll have subsidies for you. Spend trillions
• 30:40
  in subsidies for health employees and health care recipients so
• 30:46
  that they could pay these massive copays because Obamacare already
• 30:51
  was failing them in the fact that your Affordable Care
• 30:54
  Act coverage had enormous copays, you had to get to
• 31:00
  a point eight thousand dollars. And people were being devastated
• 31:06
  because they believed Obamacare was free healthcare because that's what
• 31:19
  they asked the media to sloppily sell it as in
• 31:23
  twenty ten. And I warned you then not to sound
• 31:26
  like the simps.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: I warned you.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Why is the groundskeeper the Scotsman? Was the engineer always
• 31:33
  the Scotsman? I warned you. I did, but I'm gloating.
• 31:41
  This is we're in a horrific place. And now President
• 31:44
  Trump yesterday said, well, I understand there may be a
• 31:47
  deal on healthcare. Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine is
• 31:52
  circulating a discussion draft of a proposal that would bring
• 31:57
  GOP pledges on extending and expanding the Obamacare subsidies. Angus
• 32:05
  King of Maine, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats,
• 32:10
  said he might be souring on the GOP proposal to
• 32:13
  temporarily fund the government unless the GOP is more forthcoming
• 32:18
  with a deal on the Affordable Care Act now. Angus
• 32:21
  King was one of the three non Republicans Fetterman as well,
• 32:28
  that voted for the short term cr Get us to
• 32:32
  Thanksgiving because having a government shut down at Thanksgiving is
• 32:36
  so much easier to negotiate with. And this is the
• 32:39
  stuff that drives me nuts. Is okay, we'll come up
• 32:43
  with a deal. That's how long do you want the
• 32:45
  deal to me? How about right before Thanksgiving? Because that
• 32:48
  won't give and nobody calls them out. They're doing this
• 32:52
  so intentionally, This setup is so intentionally done. Oh, we'll
• 33:00
  fund the government for six more weeks. That brings us
• 33:03
  to November twenty first, nothing going on there, guys, Come on, Apparently,
• 33:11
  maybe we're exemplifying the kind of stupidity that people like
• 33:16
  Susan Collins and Angus King and these people think we possess.
• 33:27
  So Collins is shopping around this potential off ramp to
• 33:30
  the government shutdown if she then pledges to get enough
• 33:35
  Republican votes. Remember she was one of the folks who
• 33:40
  voted in favor of the Affordable Care Act in the
• 33:43
  first place, establishing her bona fides as a Republican in
• 33:49
  name only. Oh that's not fair. There's nothing in the
• 33:53
  Republican party establishment. I know that there are many statewide
• 33:58
  Republican creeds that sound very conservative. But it's a club.
• 34:04
  It's a business association of people who keep databases, and
• 34:12
  it's a membership into a database sharing club. That's I
• 34:17
  hate to say it that way because so many people
• 34:22
  are taking so much value out of their political party membership.
• 34:27
  But both of them, and again, the new business model
• 34:32
  of this program, we will say the quiet part out loud.
• 34:37
  Political parties are nothing more than a database sharing operation.
• 34:44
  Join us and you'll get access to these databases. And
• 34:51
  it's only to get those databases to contribute first and
• 34:56
  then to vote second. There's no ideology to Republican or Democrat.
• 35:05
  There is by function. But I'll bet you if I
• 35:11
  found the right place. And I hate to say this
• 35:13
  because because I don't want MGM Sportsbook to all of
• 35:17
  a sudden open up a parlay on whither Joe Thomas
• 35:20
  could get himself elected as a Democrat somewhere? But there
• 35:25
  were plenty of Democrats who thought like me for a
• 35:29
  long long time, and we nuanced done things, and our
• 35:32
  differences came from things like, you know, when life begins
• 35:36
  and what is the role of government in terms of
• 35:39
  determining that? And even then we weren't galaxies apart. But
• 35:46
  I'll bet you in certain places I could go and
• 35:49
  get myself elected as a Democrat. Not New York City,
• 35:56
  not my home down no, no, no, no, no, I'm
• 35:58
  not saying that. But Susan Cullins, one of those folks
• 36:07
  who made the Affordable Care Act possible her drafts. According
• 36:13
  to the news site not Us, which is a play
• 36:17
  on Otis and Scotus and Scrotis and all the other
• 36:21
  otises out there. Waial Otis sees us, Otis loves us.
• 36:28
  I'm sorry, come back from the tension. Please quote notice,
• 36:33
  says suggests that there be a conversation on the Affordable
• 36:39
  Care Act extension after we reopen government. I do think
• 36:43
  we need an extension, but we also need some reforms,
• 36:46
  such as a cap on how much income you can earn,
• 36:50
  and that is totally feasible to do after we finish
• 36:53
  keeping government open. Colins said in the main Morning Star.
• 37:00
  But we should not have issues that are very complicated
• 37:03
  that split the Senate attached to the continuing resolution, because
• 37:07
  all that's going to do is prolong the shutdown. The
• 37:15
  Democrats have said, we aren't going to vote for any
• 37:18
  funding bill that does not extend and expand these subsidies
• 37:22
  that are already enlarged by seventy five percent. And you know,
• 37:26
  these are the same people who will scream they're trying
• 37:30
  to kill Social Security, they're trying to kill entitlements. While
• 37:33
  this subsidy, this COVID era subsidy, is in itself the fastest, burning,
• 37:43
  most volatile, most poisonous of all the entitlements because it's
• 37:48
  become an instant budget crushing entitlement, and it will it
• 37:55
  will crash healthcare, and then burning care comes in single payer.

• 38:06
  Speaker 4: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
• 38:17
  Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your

  Speaker 10: Here we go.

  Speaker 8: We know you wish that we go, but.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: The ecquisitions here right, it's here. So in the Holy
• 44:36
  war over the Holy Land, and remember the importance of
• 44:41
  Jerusalem in the world and the plight of the Israelites,
• 44:49
  and the amazing marketing that really could be an entire
• 44:55
  if Madmen was ever going to be rebooted as a film.
• 45:00
  If Jon Hamm ever gets gets tired of redoing Fletch movies,
• 45:07
  we could really do a great mad Men movie around.
• 45:12
  You know, there's Jon Hamm and the white haired guy
• 45:15
  that I see in everything. He's these great character actors.
• 45:17
  He's in everything. He's an adjustment bureau and all that.
• 45:21
  And I don't know his name. I really don't know
• 45:23
  his name, and I'm sorry, I just don't. I'm not
• 45:25
  that into actors, but I know John ham And they're
• 45:28
  sitting in the boardroom, thin black ties, black suits on
• 45:33
  white shirts, and in walks. A couple of guys from hamas,
• 45:45
  how you doing, How you doing? What can we do
• 45:47
  for you? Terrorist is a word that Americans really react
• 45:52
  badly to, and we need Americans to support us. What
• 45:56
  can we do to change our image? And one of
• 46:02
  them would ask, well, I mean, could you try not
• 46:05
  being a terrorist? And they said no, no, we really
• 46:07
  can't not be terrorists. But you know, but we want
• 46:13
  to tell our story. We want to explain why we
• 46:16
  want to blow up all their stuff because Hitler told
• 46:19
  us that we should blow up all their stuff and
• 46:22
  help the world get rid of the Jews. And they'd
• 46:25
  look at each other and one of them would say,
• 46:27
  you do understand Hitler killed himself in the bunker and
• 46:31
  he died. He did. I told you we should have
• 46:37
  gotten cable. I know this is starting to sound less
• 46:40
  like an episode of mad Men and more like a
• 46:42
  mel Brooks movie. But they're the most famous like ad
• 46:48
  agency show since Bewitched went off the air. But there
• 46:57
  they are sitting in the office saying, we need to
• 46:59
  re brand ourselves as a marginalized community. All right, well,
• 47:06
  how does Antifa do it? How did And they go
• 47:10
  through and they'll come up with some great, you know,
• 47:13
  symbolic gesture that will you know, we'll get you know,
• 47:17
  Jane Paul or ken Burns to write, you know, and
• 47:23
  do some dramatic piece about how the reason that they
• 47:27
  kill and maim all these Jews is because they're they've
• 47:30
  just never been allowed to hang out with them, which
• 47:33
  isn't true either, because if you go into Israel, uh,
• 47:36
  you know, there are plenty of Muslims and Islamists who
• 47:45
  even have elected office. Long before the ira was allowed
• 47:50
  to get elected to office in parliament, Muslims were holding
• 47:57
  positions in Jerusalem in his because they would come in,
• 48:02
  they'd work, they could live, they live there, they have
• 48:06
  political power. But if we told a different story, because
• 48:11
  how many Americans really go to Jerusalem, any of them
• 48:16
  really know? And that's where the AD Agency starts its
• 48:20
  Bengali like ability to recast Hamas as a marginalized community.
• 48:25
  So I was asked earlier about capitulation, about appeasement of
• 48:32
  this terrorist organization, much in the same way Chamberlain was
• 48:38
  appeasing Hitler before Hitler came to the Grand Mufti of
• 48:42
  Palestine and said, Hey, we have this jew problem. Can
• 48:46
  you help us get rid of them. You don't like them,
• 48:50
  We don't like him. I mean, you don't like them
• 48:52
  for different reasons that we don't like them. But we
• 48:55
  can work together. So here's some of the ceasefire agreement.
• 49:04
  They release the hostages, including the remains. There will be
• 49:12
  two thousand Palestinian prisoners sent back to Hamas. However, they're
• 49:18
  supposed to disarm. And I'm going to say this this
• 49:22
  way specifically because I want you to think about it
• 49:25
  this way. This deal, and I hope it works. I
• 49:31
  want it to work because it's a trade deal. It's
• 49:33
  a deal that will bring commerce and with commerce comes prosperity,
• 49:38
  and with prosperity comes less of an interest in Marxist totalitarianism.
• 49:47
  The deal allows for AID to get back into Gaza,
• 49:50
  although it was never technically stopped. Israel will remove all
• 49:57
  of its troops from Gaza. But this is the partner.
• 50:00
  How I'm going to say, this is very intentional. This
• 50:04
  deal creates a gun free zone in Gaza. I know
• 50:13
  some several people's ears pricked up saying gun free zone. Yes, yes,
• 50:17
  like the gun free zones we've turned our school campuses
• 50:21
  in two Hamas in the deal is expected to disarm
• 50:28
  in exchange for the release of those two thousand prisoners.
• 50:36
  Now I call it a gun free zone because I
• 50:41
  want people to think of it as the same kind
• 50:44
  of fools errand that we get when we say there
• 50:49
  will be a gun free zone in say Ah, Chicago,
• 50:57
  Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the agreement has been
• 51:01
  reached on all the provisions of the deal. Do you
• 51:12
  believe that this will be a gun free zone? Or
• 51:15
  is this just like Chicago. We're going to make the
• 51:18
  bad guys even more powerful by making sure that there
• 51:22
  are no guns in there. You don't think Iran is
• 51:28
  capable of showing up with a bunch of guns, and
• 51:32
  maybe they don't need guns, Maybe they just need four
• 51:36
  to f one fifties filled with C four. I think
• 51:42
  doctor Clark mentioned Beirut when he was amongst the Urrah.
• 51:55
  Benjamin Nettnia who says he will convene the Kinesse today,
• 52:02
  calling it a great day for Israel, but on John
• 52:09
  Lennon's birthday, I think it's appropriate, if not necessary, to
• 52:15
  remind that the idea of just having peace is a
• 52:19
  fool's errand there has to be a reason for the peace.
• 52:26
  And that's why things like the Abraham Accords were successful
• 52:31
  because they were trade deals, and there's more to this
• 52:34
  than just what they agree. Because it's going to become
• 52:37
  a trade deal with a bunch of nations that is
• 52:41
  going to make it unpleasant for Gaza to not participate
• 52:46
  anyway until tomorrow, I'm Joe Thomas, so long and thanks
• 52:49
  for all the fish.
