  Speaker 3: Jesus supply he had a phone call with BB Netanya,
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: he's the Prime Minister of Israel, in which you are
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: angry with him. You said it you e fing crazy?
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: What are you efing doing? I helped you stay out
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: of jail? Is that true? Did you speak to him
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: in those ties?
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: I did. I always say angry. I was a little
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: bit perturbed at his uh constantly fighting with Lebanon. You know,
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: at some point I should be be We got to
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: step this, we got to stop it. But I have
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: a very good relationship. We've done well, done well together.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: He always says we could never have done it, but
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: everybody knows that we could have never done it without
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: the United States. But we've We've I've worked very well together.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: I like BB a lot, and I've worked very well
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: with him. We had a you know where I'm a
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: wartime press and he's a wartime prime minister, very important
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: part of the world, and I think we've done very well.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: We've got alone very well.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: To go to the leakers who are trying to undermine
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: President Trump and Benjamin Adina who and their relationship. And
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: we're giving an example this somebody in the White House,
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: in the know is leaking to this man, maybe more
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: than one or two. This has to be cleaned up.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: A president has to be able to get counsel, and
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: he has to be able to be on phone calls
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: with other heads of state without somebody leaking to a
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: media operation, and particularly when that media operation has a bias.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Miranda, good morning, How are you?
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: Good morning? Sid? I'm well, thank you.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm glad you didn't play Midnight Oil because they're
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: massive leskies.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: That's true. They are massive lefties. We're aware of that now.
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: We never cared about that before, but now I was
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: starting to We actually have a banned list on this show. Miranda,
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: you can't make it up. Folks are not going to
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: play anymore. From Bruce Springsteen to Eric Clapped into Midnight
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: Oil the Pink Floyd's.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: So you did a great job with Pink Floyd.
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Oh he's the worst of all. Roger Waters You
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: kidding me. It's a great job you did there with
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: President Trump. Just a great job. And you know, I
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: know he loves you and for folks who don't know.
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: He really does love Miranda.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: You guys have a great relationship.
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: And he was very honest about that conversation that he
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: did help bb he's up in crazy. He did also
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: say in the conversation, it's kind of bothered me just
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: a little. This is why the world hates Israel, this
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: is why the world hates you. That didn't come up
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: in your conversation with Trump. I'm not sure that needed
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: to come up between Trump and BBE. But the worst
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: part of that conversation too, you know that right?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Well, I did read that, but remember the reports of
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: it were from two sources. Now I don't know who
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: those sources were, but if it wasn't Donald Trump himself,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: then they were paraphrased. So maybe, you know, the rest
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: of it seemed to be accurate. All those three things
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: that I asked him, which were pretty explosive, calling the
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Prime Minister of Israel e fing crazy and.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: What are you e fing doing? And I got you
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: out of jail.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's pretty But you know, you know Donald Trump,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: who by the way, absolutely endores you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: You know what he's like, I mean, he says things
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: that maybe other people couldn't get away with because it's
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the tone of voice and between two friends.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: He said, we're very good friends. We've worked well together.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Benjamin Netna, who agrees, but you know, Donald Trump is
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: trying to do these deals and for America, and Bibi Netna,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: who is trying to protect Israel from his buller rocket.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Hold on, I'm glad you said that, And this is
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a big difference.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: I'm glad you said that because the truth is, Miranda,
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: we're not in danger here in Manhattan or Cincinnati, or
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: Sacramento or or Cheyenne.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: You know, we we go after Iran. We didn't start it. Sorry, folks,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: we didn't start it, but we're gonna finish it, hopefully
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: one day.
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: But Israel gets bombed every time somebody else does something,
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: including the United States. So Trump and BB, you know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: it's not exactly the same situation. We're all, you know,
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: we're in the middle of saying that the ceasefire is
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: still on. All we're doing is defending ourselves. Well, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: got news for you. It's the same situation with BB
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: and Israel, with Lebanon and cres Bola. And the difference
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: is they're getting the rockets. We're not so I love Trump.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: I love them, my adorum, he's my favorite. I love
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: but BB is in a much different place than Trump.
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: Trump has to understand that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: One hundred percent, and he does understand it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, later on in the interview he said, you
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: know that he went into a round.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: Because they can't let them have a nuclear weapon, obviously, and.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Then he said that pertains to Israel because they probably
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: would have been the first ones to get hit. So
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: it would be no Israel right now if it wasn't
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: for Trump. Now that's probably hyperbole, but he's absolutely right,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: and he understands that Israel is under an existential threat,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: and he is doing this for optics obviously, because he's
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: trying to tell the Arabs, including not just not Iran alone,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: but the Gulf Arabs that are supposed allies. And he's saying, look,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I am trying, I am telling Israel not to go
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: after Lebanon because Israel, I mean, Iran is paying its proxy, Hezbela,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: to attack Israel. And then it says to America, stop
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Israel from attacking Lebanon. It's not Lebanon, it's Hezbela. And
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: it seems to me that the Lebanese go has been
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: quite content to allow Israel to get rid of the monster,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: and it's Midst that it doesn't like, but it has
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: been too doubtless to do anything about.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, you just nailed.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: That was beautifully said Miranda Devine, the best columnist in
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: the country New York Post, and her potforst one podcast
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: is doing amazing.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: She had Trump on just a couple of days going back.
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: I'm going to Israel two weeks from today. It'll be
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: my fifth trip since the war started back in twenty
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: twenty three. Literally two weeks from today, I'll be heading
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: back for eight days to Israel. Yeah, it's a big deal.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: They've got this huge international policy summit. It's a three
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: day summit and a bunch of speakers. You may have
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: heard of some of these people, Mark Levin, Bibing, Natanyau,
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: Mike Huckabee, Sid Rosenberg.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: So it is. Yeah, it's huge. And now well it's
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: at the.
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: World Ope Astoria in Jerusalem, and I can't wait to
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: go two weeks from today. But what are your thoughts
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: on the Holy Ran conflict? Again, I don't have to
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: keep saying it how much you and I love Trump,
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: but I understand America's frustration, and I'm not really seeing
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: a lot of answers about the exit. I was thrilled
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: we went in. I was with President Trump one thousand percent.
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: I think we had to do it. We have to
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: make sure these animals don't have a nuclear weapon. My
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: issue is, the longer I watch this, I'm not sure
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: we really ever had a real exit plan. I mean,
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: there's no way that you could have told me that
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: we'd allow this to happen with the strait of horror moves.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: And the truth is, there's no way to get to
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: that uranium unless you put troops on the ground because
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: it's embedded inside mountains in Iran. So what I'm trying
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: to say is, Miranda, no matter what the President says,
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: this is a mess. It's very messy, and I don't
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: think we did a good enough job of figuring out
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: the exit as we did going in.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: What do you think about that?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know enough to know if that's correct. You know,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: we're just observing and there's a lot of smoke and
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: mirrors going on, deliberate by Trump, and in fact I
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: asked him because I agree with you. I mean, Americans
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: are looking at this and feeling anxious because gas prices
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: seemed to be stubbornly up while Iran is going on,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: there doesn't seem to be any end in sight. We
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: know the midterms are coming up, and this is going
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: to hurt Republican chances, which is going to totally derail
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: President Trump's agenda, which he's barely.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Been able to get started on.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: So, you know, inflation is not great. So and it
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: was all going in the right direction, and the year
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: was mapped out.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: With all the Two fifty celebrations to have everyone in
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: a great mood by the time the midterms came. No
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: one's in a great mood.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: The Democrats are in disarray, but they're also doing a
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: great job of sort of you know, just basically trashing
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: the two fifty celebrations. But President Trump said to me,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I asked him about that, and I said, you know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: all the waxing and wane waning, and people don't know
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: what's going on, and you know, are you trying to
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: keep the Iranians off balance? But what about people at home?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: They feel confused and anxious, he said, confused. It's good.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: It's good if they're confused, because then the Iranians are confused,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: so he's willing to endure this kind of short term
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: hit in the polls. People not trusting him, he said
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: the other day did the truth social saying trust me.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: And I've got to say, when I saw him on.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Tuesday for an hour, I said, you know, right opposite him,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: he seems as focused, as sharp, as confident as ever.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I didn't detect any kind of lack of energy, any dispirateness,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: any anything like that. So I think he knows what
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: he's doing.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I just saw him.
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: I wasn't sitting one on one with them, though he
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: did have a nice handshake and personal moment whispered in
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: each other's ears at Mike Lawler's event in Rockland County
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: about two weeks ago.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: And I saw the same thing. He spoke for like
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: seventy five minutes.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: You know, he's funny as can be with Jackson's daughter,
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: the giants and all kinds of jokes, and when he
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: had to be serious, like with Sheridan Gorman's family, he
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: was by the way her mom made me cry.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: He was just great. And I thought he looked great.
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: So you know, I read your column, which you both
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: must read, Miranda Debay and the Dems launch more bake
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: woumors about Trump's health. But the president is at the
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: top of his game. So as we're discussing, we've both
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: been in his presence very recently and he sounded and
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: looked great. Why the Democrats lying about his health?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: And no matter what he.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: Tells them or the doctors tell them, they still go
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: back on the air and say he's in bad shape.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: But he's not.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: It's all they have. Yesterday he did a full press
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: conference in the he is the most available president and
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: from the party of Joe Biden that just led and
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: gas lit the American people for four years about Joe
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Biden's cognitive decline.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: It's astonishing, it is.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: It's such blatant projection of their own sins onto their
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: opponents that I think everyone sees through it because only
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: wish casting says that there's something wrong with Donald Trump.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: He just released his health latest health check, you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: aced the cognitive.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Tests thirty out of thirty, his cardiac health. I mean,
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: he is so lucky.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: He's obviously genetically blessed, because it's not as if, you know,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: he's a specimen of you know, athletic prowess, or his diet.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, he loves big macs and is cardiac health.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: It's fourteen years younger than his age, so whatever he's doing,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: the Democrats just obviously are desperate to try and pretend
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: that he's senile or that he's had a stroke. The letter,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: and they're not just doing it with bots on social media.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: They had ted Lu out there squandering like a huge
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: amount of time in that hearing with Marco Rubio, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Marco Rubio just socked them between the eyes. The best,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: he's a president every day.
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Yep, he's the best. He needs to be our next president.
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: Of disrespect to JD events. I don't know what's going
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: to happen, but and Marco's the best. And the president
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: of course, will be eighty years old in exactly ten
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: days June fourteenth, which is Flag Day and the big
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: UFC event on the White House lawn on that day.
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: In ten days, President Trump will turn eighty. Miranda Devine,
