Speaker 1: And now for a moment of clarity. Negotiations take time.
The idea that even somebody like the Vice President of
the United States was going to close a deal in
twenty one hours, that's ridiculous. That's not serious. And I'm
cautiously optimistic that at least they're now talking about another
round of negotiations. But if there's serious negotiations, I predict
they'll take months and years, not days and weeks.
Speaker 2: You know, sir. I want to sort of put a
little bit of a button on all aspects of this conversation,
because it really boils down to when you take into
account how Simone set up in the first part with
her question, and now Alicia with hers this idea of
the administration doing what it's acting and behaving the way
it's behaving as if they actually had a plan. I
find it very interesting, sir, that what we're looking at
is a fanciful traits through you know, military options and uh,
you know, some some economic and strategicy that that they
think is going to work. You have Marco Rubio, Secretary
of State, that's going to be meeting with you know,
Israeli and Lebanese officials to talk some more about uh,
you know, how they're going to get reach that ceasefire
and make it work with Lebanon, et cetera, et cetera
between Israel and Hesbellah. You've got tonight. Okay, here's the
funny You've got tonight for you. The President having a
conversation with Maria Bora Borderomo, which by the way, is
going to air tomorrow morning. So that tells you whether
or not what we're about to hear really kind of
is urgent. Let's take a listen. I just loft the president.
It was a great interview. He said a lot about
the economy, about the land war, about NEO. One thing
that I leave here, I said to him, miss President,
you keep talking about the warling was was? Was? I said,
Is it over? He said, it's over? Okay, So I
don't know. So we got weight about eleven hours before
we get that conversation.
Speaker 1: Can we just ask the woman who actually did calms
at the White House? Would you ever had such a
big piece of news? O?
Speaker 2: What's them?
Speaker 1: A way about a roma for Fox's business child?
Speaker 2: No? Thank you? What so? So you know, sir, I
just want to know does any of this make sense?
Because it just reinforces. There's no plan here. This is
what the fourth time this war has been over. What
are we talking about it?
Speaker 1: I think it's a fundamental point. You're right, they're making
it up. It's they're moving around in terms of their tactics.
They do not have a plan. They didn't think about
the secondary and tertiary effects of their war. That's what
you do when you write a memo to the president.
When I worked at the White House, you talk about
different ways to achieve your strategy, and then you talk
about these other things that could happen. It's clear they
didn't think about these things.
