  Speaker 1: It's very rare these days that we can all agree
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: that today was a great day for the Israelis, for
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the Palestidians who are no longer getting bombed every day,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for the president who achieved this victory, and that's good.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: We don't have to could condition that we don't have
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: to qualify that we can just celebrate that these families
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: got their hostages, their family members back as hostages, and
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: that the Palestindians can live without fear of getting bombed
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: every day. Tomorrow, we're gonna have to look at what
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: happens next. And I don't think anyone knows. I don't
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: think the Trump twenty point plan is liable to go
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: off as it's written. I don't think the people in
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the region know. I don't think the Palestindians have a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: surety that they'll be able to live in peace of security.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think the Israelis have a surety that they'll
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: be able to live without the threat of from US
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: threatening them. Today we can just celebrate, but tomorrow there's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of hard work to be done. And I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: don't think that we can say that this is a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: pivotal point in Middle East history. What we can say
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: it was a good day because today the guns went silent,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and that's a very good day, especially the day and age.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: So, doctor West, I mean, do you think that you know,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: there's been some back and forth about credit, and look,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: everybody knows Trump likes credit. But is it fair in
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: your mind for more people on the left to actually
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: give him credit for this, to acknowledge that perhaps he
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: was the difference maker in this particular deal.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I look at it from the vantage point of
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: any time there's tears of joy of people having their
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: loved ones return, it could be the Palestinians themselves with
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: two thousand incarcerated ones returning. It could be the twenty
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: of is Raetio. Each one of those tiers Israeli a
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Palestinian are precious. That's very important. I give Trump credit
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: for stopping the war and stopping the genocide. But the
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: problem is, you see, is that Matthew five nine s
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: has blessed all the peacemakers. Peacemakers are justice seekers. I'm
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: not convinced that Trump is a justice seeker. He has
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: stopped the war, he stopped the genocide. That's a positive thing.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: But you can't seek justice unless you look at the
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: world from the advantage point of those who themselves are
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: under occupation, and as long as there's occupation, there's gonna
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: be her moss or her mass like resistance. Because every
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: history that we know of people who are under occupation,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: be there Jews in Poland, or be their Palestinians and Gods,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: or be the indigenous peoples in this country, or black
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: people's under slavery, there's going to be resistance. And so
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: the question is can brother Trump follow through and be
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: a justice secret But you know.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: We'll see. I mean, I think that's that's pro cliberties.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be much more tied to Nathan Yahoo, who
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: himself has to be accountable for war crimes himself.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: You see, you think that that he's inclined to not.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: That's we shall see. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Trump Trump. I'm not gonna just foreclose his possibilities. But
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I'm not holding my breath.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Josh is right. We don't know what's
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: going to happen next. I mean, you said the guns
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: were silent. I wish that were totally true. Hamas is
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: going around and executing some Palestinians, right, now torturing them
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: in the streets, and apparently they plan to execute more tomorrow.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, these are bad people. The idea that they're
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: going to be radicalize or willingly give up their arms,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I'm skeptical of. So I worry for the Palestinians actually,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: because of what Hamas is now doing to them inside
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: of Gaza. But you know, I've been wearing this pin
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: for two straight years, waiting for these hostages to come home,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: and I've been waiting to take it off, and I'm
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: going to take it off tonight because the twenty people
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: came out, and I met some of the families earlier
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: this year, and I've been following their stories quite closely,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: and I'm going to replace it with an American pin,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: American flag pin, because in my opinion, this was a
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: huge victory for the American people, led by our president.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: But it was only through the power and the force
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: of will of the President of the United States that
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: twenty people return to their families, that we have the
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: beginnings of the possibility of a peaceful era in the
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Middle East, and that maybe a future can be had
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: by millions upon millions of people in a place where
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: it's sometimes hard to visualize the future. And so I
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: couldn't get prouder to be an American tonight because without
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: the United States and without our president, this doesn't happen.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: But brother Scott, the are you concerned about the Palestinians?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Can you take that off of the Palestinians and all
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: of this suffer.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm concerned about what's happening to them right now.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: They're being shot in the street by hamas well.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: They're under occupation. It just had twenty thousand babies killed
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: in twenty three months. I mean, do you believe that
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: the hostage on the by Palestinians has the same value
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: as a Palestinian incarcerator. I just asked that question.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I don't regard some of the people that were in
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: prison President Israel to be hostages. These were terror that
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: we had to let go in order to get these
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: twenty people back. The twenty living hostages did nothing wrong. Many,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: as Abby pointed out in her monologue, of the people
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: the Palestinians wanted released are absolute terrorists whom.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: They have no trial and have had no du because.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Twenty people did nothing. The people taken on October the
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: seventh were purely innocent.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent of the palace two million Palestinians in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Gaza are totally innocent. And they've been suffering for two
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: years too, and they need humanitarian aid, they need medical aid.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I think they've been suffering for longer than that.
