Okay, let's get 51 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:49.560 started with some of the stories coming out of the 52 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.840 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. It is spring, but add 53 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:56.879 a little heat. Kfi's Tammy Truhios' temperatures today expected to 54 00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.000 be in the nineties across the warmest valleys. 55 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.680 That would put Tempts today well above normal, but the 56 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.479 heat wave may not last too long. A cooling trend 57 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.319 is expected to start tomorrow, with compus closer to normal 58 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.000 by Thursday. 59 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:09.919 She says, we could see a drop in temperatures by 60 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.879 as much as twenty degrees. A storm system next week 61 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.400 could bring rain to southern California. Next week is fine 62 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.759 as long as it doesn't hit this week because we've 63 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:19.560 got opening. 64 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.000 Day on Thursday. 65 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.599 News brought to you by Semper Solaris. Most people who 66 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.599 live near a house that exploded in Pacoima have been 67 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.680 allowed to return home. Evacuation orders for dozens of homes 68 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:35.319 were lifted on Saturday after a controlled burn that destroyed 69 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.800 the rest of the exploded home and a bunch of 70 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.840 fireworks that were being made and stored at the house. 71 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.240 The explosion happened on Thursday morning. A man who was 72 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.960 in the house at the time is in critical condition. 73 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.000 He was burned over more than half of his body. 74 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.479 Two rallies opposing the Trump administration had been held in 75 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.680 downtown LA. Labor leaders and elected Democratic officials gathered outside 76 00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:01.199 the Federal Building yesterday in support of federal workers. On Saturday, 77 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.039 the March for Our Constitution made its way down Wilshire Boulevard. 78 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.879 Organizer David Comfort tells KFI it was to highlight what 79 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.080 he calls the administration's attack on people's. 80 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:18.639 Rights, closing down federal departments without congressionalists awording supporting people, 81 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.399 for instance, to Salvadorian prisons without due process. 82 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:22.959 He says. 83 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:28.160 Several legal experts claim the US is experiencing a constitutional crisis. 84 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.279 A contest is underway in the San Bernardino Mountains to 85 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.879 name Jackie in shadows to little Eglitz. Friends of Big 86 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.519 Bear Valley started its chick naming contest on Friday. You 87 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.759 have until this Friday to submit names. You can do 88 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.839 it online. A computer will randomly draw the final list 89 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.040 of names, and then the final vote will be up 90 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.680 to elementary school students in Big Bear. The winning names 91 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.839 will be announced in early April. So I'm still sticking 92 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.360 with Rocky for the little one because remember Rocky hatched 93 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:05.759 like almost a week after the first two, and editor 94 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.079 Carla said, all right, she said we should name him 95 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:10.879 Rocky because he's a fighter. 96 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:12.160 But we don't know which one. 97 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.759 You know, well, we know that. 98 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:19.360 The oldest chick, the first one that hatch, is the 99 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.920 one that Friends of Big Bear Valley is saying is 100 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.079 the one that that didn't make it during that one storm. 101 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.319 But we don't know if that was Brutus or if 102 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:32.000 that was Dora. I think it was actually Dora, because 103 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.879 remember Dora got she got out or he got out 104 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:36.240 of the nest a few times. 105 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.639 Are kind of love that we've signed sexs to them. 106 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.800 Well, yeah, which we can't do without DNA testing, but 107 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.639 that's all other issue. All right, right now, let's get 108 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.920 you up to date with what's going on with UH 109 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:53.319 ceasefire talks. Let's say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, 110 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:58.480 there technically is a partial ceasefire, but that hasn't stopped 111 00:05:58.480 --> 00:05:58.920 the fighting. 112 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.079 Well, there wasn't. 113 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.360 There was not a partial ceasefire. The Ukrainians agreed to 114 00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.959 a thirty day ceasefire without conditions about a week and 115 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.399 a half ago, and the Russians did not agree to that. 116 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.399 During their phone conversation with President Trump last week, didn't 117 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:15.759 they on. 118 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.120 The table pause? 119 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.639 They put on the table a pause on strikes on 120 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.399 energy sites, which both countries have agreed to in principle. 121 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.759 But it's not a ceasefire because it's not on the battlefield. 122 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:33.680 It's a pause on those strikes on those different targets. So, 123 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:35.759 you know, very different just in terms of like a 124 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.639 seatsfire on the battlefield. The back and forth continues. I mean, 125 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.759 there were drone strikes overnight from last night into this 126 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.360 morning by both sides. Ninety nine drones launched by Russia 127 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.519 into Ukraine. Russia says there were twenty eight fired into 128 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.040 Russian territory by Ukraine overnight that they shot down. So 129 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.879 today and yesterday when they had the conversations with the 130 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.839 Ukrainians yesterday, conversations now day with the Russian side, they 131 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.040 will be talking about the pause, the proposed pause on 132 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.879 strikes targeting energy infrastructure, because both sides agree to it, 133 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.560 at least in principle. But that is a very early 134 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.879 first step and not the ceasefire that the United States 135 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.000 has been pushing for. 136 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.399 Gotcha, Okay, thank you for that clarification, because I'm hearing 137 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:24.240 from several places, different ones saying, oh, yeah, no, that 138 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.399 that agreement was put in place, but it's not really 139 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:29.079 a ceasefire. 140 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.079 Okay. So they are talking today. 141 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.000 Yesterday it was the US and the Ukrainians who talked 142 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.399 to and then today it's the Russians in the US talking. 143 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.839 Yes, okay, yes, And notably that's not the Russians and 144 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.000 the Ukrainian. 145 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:44.920 Side was going to ask you about. 146 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.079 Yeah, it still shuttle diplomacy, as a national security advisor 147 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.680 put it, the United States going back and forth between 148 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:56.040 the two sides, challenging conversations. They acknowledge that, but you know, 149 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.439 it's notable that they're not ready yet to have both 150 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.839 sides at the same negotiating table that you know there 151 00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.399 are still significant differences, and the White House will say 152 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.720 it's all about narrowing the gap, bringing them closer together. 153 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.319 But right now they're not at that point where they 154 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.360 could sit down and try and hammer this out and 155 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:14.680 get across the finish line. 156 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.079 So at this point they're not even saying, Okay, in 157 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.360 a week, we're going to sit down together. It's still 158 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.759 it's still the US going from table to the table 159 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:23.920 and trying to. 160 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.600 Yeah, there's no indication of when the two sides would 161 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.720 be at the same negotiating table. The Russian said over 162 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.399 the weekend that these are difficult negotiations ahead. Spokesman for 163 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.720 Vladimir Putin said that this is only the beginning of 164 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.159 this path, which is notable. Just kind of hearing their 165 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:44.120 kind of, I think, cautious take on this or pessimism really. 166 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:46.720 Violensky had said last night that he was briefed on 167 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.240 what he called a quote a quite useful discussion by 168 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.159 his defense minister who's taking part in this, But Vilenski 169 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:54.840 said it's now Putin who has to be pushed to 170 00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.320 issue a real order to stop the strikes. Lensky said, 171 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.320 the one who brought this war must be the one 172 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:01.320 to take it back. 173 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:06.120 Okay, Maybec's Karen Travers, thanks for setting us straight. Lots 174 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.120 of confusing information out there, and we'll be watching to 175 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:09.840 see what happens. 176 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:12.080 Have a great day, all right, you too. 177 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:12.559 Take care. 178 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:14.759 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 179 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.000 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The US is 180 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.440 sending another aircraft carrier to the Middle East. 181 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.440 This is a rare and strategic move as the White 182 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.960 House is expecting hoothy fighters in Yemen who announced a 183 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.559 big plan to attack US carrier warships in the Red Sea. 184 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.399 Kfis Phil FARARSS. The USS Carl Vincent will head out 185 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.120 from San Diego in a few weeks. 186 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.080 This will be the second time in six months that 187 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.480 Vincent will spend time in the Middle East. 188 00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:40.960 He says. 189 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.279 The Defense Department is keeping the USS Harry Truman in 190 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:50.600 the region an extra month. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is Democrats, 191 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.559 led in the ceneby Chuck Schumer, are to blame for 192 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.240 allowing passage of the Republicans spending bill. 193 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.320 He says Republicans are way out of touch. 194 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.360 George Schumop it has. 195 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.000 You got a Democratic party in general that is dominated 196 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.440 by billionaires justice and Republican. 197 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:06.600 Party is. 198 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.679 Sanders says Republican lawmakers need to explain why they think 199 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.360 it's a good idea to give a trillion dollars in 200 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:19.960 tax breaks to the one percent while cutting veterans programs, Medicaid, 201 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:28.919 social security, and education. Demonstrators gathered in Brooklyn calling for 202 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.679 Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down. Schumer has 203 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:36.279 been taking heat for voting for the Republican backed funding 204 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.039 bill to avoid the government shutdown. Schumer said if the 205 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.960 bill had failed, it would have given President Trump even 206 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.559 more power. He says he's stay and put. Canadians will 207 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.440 be going to the polls April twenty eighth. The country's 208 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.759 new Prime Minister, Mark Carney called the snap election yesterday. 209 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.480 He says he needs a strong mandate from the country 210 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.200 as he deals with President Trump's trade war and his 211 00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:58.840 threats to Canadian sovereignty. 212 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:05.360 President Trump claims that Canada isn't a real country. He 213 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:10.320 wants to break us so America can own us. We 214 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.120 will not let that happen. 215 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.080 Carney has only been Canada's Prime minister for ten days. 216 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:21.200 Education Secretary Linda McMahon's federal funding will continue for essential 217 00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:24.360 education programs despite a push by the Trump administration to 218 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:25.840 shut down the Department of Education. 219 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.440 The outward facing programs that are going to be affecting 220 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.879 students are there's not going to be any defunding for 221 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:32.840 those programs. 222 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:34.600 McMahon says. 223 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:37.240 Many of the programs the department funds will be transferred 224 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.120 to other agencies in effort to make education funding more efficient. 225 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.039 Pope Francis has been released from the hospital. He's back 226 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.919 at the Vatican. NBC's Rath Sanchez says the Pope made 227 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.879 a brief appearance yesterday for the first time in more 228 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.559 than five weeks, waving to a crowd from a balcony 229 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.440 at Rome's Jammelli Hospital. 230 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.200 He was discharged from hospital and he was driven back 231 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.639 to the Vatican. There was an anre mischeer from the 232 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.960 faithful when they saw him. This is the moment that 233 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:06.559 they have been praying for. 234 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:08.679 The eighty eight year old pope was initially admitted to 235 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:12.879 the hospital with bronchitis that turned into double pneumonia. Okay, 236 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.799 did you hear there really is such a thing as 237 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:21.679 rouss ro US's just like in Princess Bride. 238 00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:24.679 Bustley, what about the russ. 239 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:25.879 Rodents of unusual size? 240 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:27.600 I don't think that exists. 241 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:36.399 Well, apparently they do, and they're in northern California. They're 242 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:40.639 called nutria, So everybody's making a big deal out of 243 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:41.320 these Nutria. 244 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:42.720 They are big. 245 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:47.039 They're not as big as the rouss is in Princess Bride, 246 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:51.200 but they're they're like twenty pounds and they're a cross 247 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.360 between a rat and a beaver, so they look like 248 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.519 a rat and they look like a beaver, but they 249 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:57.440 don't have the beaver tail. 250 00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:59.480 They just have a rat tail. I've never heard of 251 00:12:59.480 --> 00:12:59.840 these things. 252 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.279 You have it. So apparently they're native to South America, 253 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.159 but they've made their word to way to northern California, 254 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.919 which is also weird though, because we used to see 255 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:11.639 them all the time when I lived up in Portland. 256 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:14.200 They were along along the river front. But they're saying 257 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.639 they're native to South America. And the worry is that 258 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.519 they can eat a lot, like up to fifty pounds 259 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.440 of plants per day above and below ground, and that could, 260 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:26.440 you know, mess with ecosystems and stuff. So they've been 261 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.120 seen or captured in San Joaquin Mariposa merced in North 262 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.519 Valley Counties. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife says 263 00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:39.720 they are edible, with a taste that compares to dark 264 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:45.000 turkey meat or rabbit uh huh, So cooking them is 265 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:50.799 part of the eradication strategy. No thank you, be prepared 266 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.559 for the boom. That's the word from Camp Pendleton officials, 267 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:57.799 who say residents could hear explosions from training exercises. The 268 00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.399 training is going to be held throughout the day and 269 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.960 night all this week, officials say. Depending on atmospheric conditions, 270 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:07.000 the sound of explosions could be heard up to fifty 271 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.600 miles away. Two women have been killed three others are 272 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.080 in the hospital following a wrong way driver crash in Pomona. 273 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:17.159 Police said driver was headed east in the westbound lanes 274 00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:20.559 of the sixty Freeway late Saturday night. Several vehicles were 275 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.799 involved in the crash New Reservoir Street. The UCLA women's 276 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.720 basketball team is on its way to the Sweet sixteen. 277 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.519 The Bruins beat Richmond eighty four to sixty seven last 278 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.480 night to advance to the next round. The Bruins' next 279 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:37.080 battle is against fifth seed Mississippi in the regional semi 280 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.320 finals of the NCAA Tournament on Friday. Let's say good 281 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.720 morning now to We're not going to say good morning 282 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:49.679 to ABC's Jordana Miller. Okay, she's calling back. Oh, we're 283 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.240 trying to get a hold of her. Well, while we 284 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.000 try to get a hold of her. Wait, she's here. 285 00:14:55.799 --> 00:15:00.159 It's a Monday, isn't it. Okay, Now we have Jordana. 286 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:05.639 Good morning, Jerdonah Miller in Jerusalem, Jaredana. The fighting is 287 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.919 not letting up in the Gaza strip and last night 288 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:09.639 Israel hit a hospital. 289 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:10.360 What happened there? 290 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:12.720 Right? 291 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.879 The Israeli armies said they carried out a targeted strike 292 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.159 at Nasar Hospital, which is one of the largest hospitals 293 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:23.480 in southern Gaza, going after a top Hamas political leader 294 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:27.600 who was there at the hospital. There's, you know, conflicting 295 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:31.200 reports about whether he was there visiting a family member 296 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.960 or whether he himself was being treated at the hospital. Nonetheless, 297 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.919 the Israelis went after him. They did kill him. He 298 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:42.759 was claimed as a dead quote unquote martyr by Hamas. 299 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.200 But the Israelis also killed a teenager that was there 300 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:52.080 that was being treated. And you know, the strike itself 301 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:57.120 damaged the surgical ward at Nasra Hospital and lit you know, 302 00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:01.200 ignited a fire and caused some damage. So a very 303 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.720 you know, a very pointed but still damaging and deadly strike. 304 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.600 And remember it all as consistently argued through this war 305 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.039 that Hamas has taken shelter and used hospitals in ways 306 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.799 that are similar to you know, that are that are 307 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:24.440 used for purposes of war, that is, hiding arms, hiding fighters, planning, 308 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.360 using parts of it for control and command centers. And 309 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.159 we do know from testimony of hostages who've come home 310 00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:36.600 that they were held in hospitals, some for weeks for example, 311 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:40.919 not or hospital itself. There was one Israeli hostage who 312 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.480 said she was held there in a room with several 313 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:48.000 hostages for for you know, at least a week during 314 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.919 her time in captivity. She was she was freed after 315 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.879 fifty days. But you know, so Hamas has used hospitals 316 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.200 in ways for very cynical purposes. And we've seen the 317 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:02.360 Israelies go into hospitals across. 318 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:05.759 Gaza, okay, And so it's such a I don't know 319 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:08.559 what what I'm trying to to come up with, but 320 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:10.559 it seems like, you know, they're doing good stuff by 321 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:14.119 taking out the bad guys. But the collateral damage in 322 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.720 this is what makes it so you know, questionable, and 323 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:22.599 I think that that's why probably they're right, I meanback. 324 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:26.000 Yeah, right, Well, you know this is how Hamas operates. 325 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.480 You know, we it's hard for us, even in the 326 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.759 West and in the United States, to wrap our heads 327 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.079 around a terror group like this that really, you know, 328 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:42.079 doesn't care about operating out of hospitals, you know, declared 329 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.720 safe zones, next to a school, out of you know, 330 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.160 a relative's house, right, I mean, they set up they 331 00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:53.119 set up there fighting that way because they know that 332 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.480 for the Israelis to actually take them out, they also 333 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.079 have to take out civilians. And when they take out civilians, 334 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.200 you know, reflects very poorly on Israel. And it's all 335 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.200 part of Hamas's strategy. Now, are there times when the 336 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:12.000 Israelis you know, over shoot, overhit, make mistakes, use too 337 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.759 much payload? Absolutely, you know we can't. We're not going 338 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.680 to blame Hamas for everything. But you know, if Hamas 339 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.640 were to move civilians to one part of the Gaza 340 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.599 Strip and use another part to fight their quote unquote 341 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:28.559 war against Israel, it would be a very different picture. 342 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:32.799 Yeah, okay, And then I wanted to ask you two 343 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:37.279 about this. Israel's cabinet has approved a proposal to move 344 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:40.359 forward with a plan to get Palestinians to voluntarily depart, 345 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.880 which sounds a lot like President Trump's plan to get 346 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.559 Palestins Palestinians to leave the Strip. 347 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.160 I would imagine that's not getting a very warm reception. 348 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:54.559 Right, So, first of all, there's been some misreporting about this. 349 00:18:55.119 --> 00:19:01.000 The Defense Ministry, led by Israel Katz, who's relatively the 350 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:04.599 new defense minister, and he's very loyal to Israeli Prime 351 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:09.039 Minister Benjamin Nataniel, he approved setting up an agency within 352 00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:15.119 the Defense Ministry to plan and implement voluntary immigration. There's 353 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.319 no plan on the table, there's nothing that's being implemented. 354 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.200 I would argue half of this, half of this is 355 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:25.880 spin to support President Trump and his plan, but half 356 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.880 of it could be you know, a very dark kind 357 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:32.599 of plan B. If Israel goes in and reoccupy, you know, 358 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:35.400 it takes over the Gaza Strip in a military occupation, 359 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:39.160 they may use this agency to plan how to let 360 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:42.400 Gosins leave and go to another country, right or to 361 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:46.759 Egypt or to Jordans. So I'm not saying it's it's 362 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.200 not sinister. It could be, but right now, it's simply 363 00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:51.880 the approval of an agency. 364 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:53.440 Yeah, okay, and so. 365 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:56.160 And then the other question that we've talked about several 366 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.640 times is, yeah, you can voluntarily leave if you want to, 367 00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:00.799 but where the heck are you going to go? 368 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:01.880 Because nobody wants. 369 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:06.000 Them, right, I mean that's another part of this, right, 370 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:10.279 I mean, right, the whole idea that you can forcibly 371 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:14.200 displace two million Palestinians from Gaza. I mean, if we're 372 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:19.160 anyone else making these claims, anyone except you know, other 373 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:23.279 than President Trump, I think everyone would laugh. Right. But 374 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.519 because it's President Trump, somehow we take it a little 375 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:29.880 bit more seriously. But it's actually a plan that, you know, 376 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.720 to implement this is nearly impossible, not only the means 377 00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.079 of moving such a huge number of people out of 378 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:40.880 the Gaza strip when they don't want to leave, and 379 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:43.759 Gaza is not for sale, but no country in the 380 00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:49.759 area is going to be part of displacing Palestinians from Gaza, right, 381 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.359 Egypt's not going to open their doors, or or Jordan. 382 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:54.039 Right. 383 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:58.039 And remember, Gaza is part of what the Palestinians see 384 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:02.000 as their future Palestinian state right somewhere down the road, 385 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:02.359 which is. 386 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:06.279 Right right. 387 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:11.039 And even President Trump in his first term when you 388 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:13.599 put together, you know, the deal of the century, and 389 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.119 he put together a Mid East peace plan which went 390 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:20.400 almost straight to the garbage. Nonetheless, if you read it, 391 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:23.720 it has a phased, you know, plan for a Palestinian 392 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:28.400 state over several years, and it includes Gaza, right, so 393 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:31.319 you're not going to be able to just move everybody 394 00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:34.920 out and you know, do something, you know, give Gaza 395 00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:38.720 to the Israelis or to a developer you know in 396 00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:39.240 New York. 397 00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:42.400 Okay, Well, it's something that we will be watching, and 398 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:45.000 we are thankful that we have you to keep us 399 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.279 on the straight and narrow about what's real and what's not. 400 00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.039 Appreciate it so much, journal I. 401 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:50.039
