Does anybody ever think we have 61 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.199 a serious show that we think about, that we talk 62 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.080 about serious topics, or do they think this is just 63 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:54.840 an asinine, stupid, infantile show. I don't don't answer that. 64 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.080 Don't just don't answer that. I just thought that that 65 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.520 would be you know, good question. 66 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.319 Yeah, one that Cono plays at the top of the show, 67 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:05.960 doesn't necessarily mean that's the one that's running. 68 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:06.560 Throughout the week. 69 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:09.560 I don't know or what are you talking about. 70 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.919 I'm saying that what you just heard in that promo 71 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.279 that Cono played isn't necessarily what's been playing all week 72 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:18.120 to promote the show. 73 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.399 Well, okay, since I don't pay attention to promos anything 74 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.560 to do with me, I immediately turn off. You know, 75 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.360 my mind goes off. Are there some serious promos? 76 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:28.639 Yes? 77 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:33.759 Yes, not to mention you know those aren't AI like 78 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.319 that is actually you saying those things? 79 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.639 Yeah, not arguing that, but it's publicists would say about 80 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.759 Kamala Harris, Donald Trump would say carefully edited to give 81 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:53.839 to skew the way this broadcast is. See, I'm comparing 82 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:58.000 myself to well to Donald Trump, not to Kamala Harris. 83 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.519 I don't know which one I'm more would be more 84 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.399 upset about. All right, all right, let's do it. Time 85 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:11.959 for handle on the news on this Tuesday Wednesday mornings. 86 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:16.399 Already Wednesday. No, it's good. Usually it's in advance. Okay, 87 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.560 let's do it. Uh, Mike, Mike, Amy and Neil and 88 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:32.040 me lead story. What's his name. Yesterday very strange at 89 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.040 Trump's usual at his desk, the Resolute Desk press conference 90 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.920 that he gives, very wide ranging and rambling, et cetera. 91 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.680 It talks about the various executive orders he's signing. Elon 92 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.519 Musk was there standing up next to Trump and about 93 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.120 half an hour answering questions, and it was just terrific. 94 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:58.920 One reporter said, asked, how about transparency, and must say 95 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.120 we have total transparent and sye, just go to the website. 96 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.839 You go to the website. There is no total transparency. 97 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.040 Is there a conflict of interest? No, there's no conflict 98 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.000 of interest, even though Musk has billions and billions of 99 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:17.199 dollars with contracts with the US government. And then it 100 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:22.360 was just fantastic. So in any case, Oh, and he 101 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.199 had his kid on his shoulders or was it a 102 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.519 kid who was three years old? Two years old and 103 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.879 dancing around playing horsey with his kid? Didn't I get 104 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:36.319 that right? All right? We can do one more for 105 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:36.839 the break? 106 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:41.480 What ceasefire on the verge of failing or is it 107 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.600 Israel's Prime minister has warned Hamas that it will end 108 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:50.759 the seasfire in Gaza and resume fighting if the Palestinian 109 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.959 group does not return the hostages as scheduled in the 110 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:59.480 ceasefire agreement, and Netanyahu then ordered Israeli forces to a 111 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:05.680 mass inside and around Gaza. Hamas had accused Israel of 112 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.680 violating the three week old ceasefire, saying that it was 113 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.800 blocking a humanitarian aid that's supposed to get into Gaza. 114 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.079 Of course, Israel has denied that. 115 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:19.839 Yeah, Hamas is holding on to the majority of hostages 116 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:24.160 still and is releasing little bits. It's a drip drip 117 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.319 drip of releasing hostages three at a time, four at 118 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:32.680 a time. And Israel is now saying, well, Thatchahu says, 119 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.199 you don't get them all, you don't get release of hostages. 120 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.600 By Saturday, We're going in the hostages. He's talking about 121 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.720 the rest of them, or the hostages that are to 122 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:48.399 be released pursuant to the agreement. Trump said all of 123 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:54.000 them Saturday. Otherwise all hell would break loose. And I 124 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.319 get to tell you Trump, he does not lie. He 125 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:04.000 is going to allow Israel to just go crazy. Israel 126 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.519 has to pretty well do what the United States once 127 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.040 because the arms that Israel has the fast fast majority 128 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.600 come from the United States, and Israel would run out 129 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.959 of arms that they couldn't do much, so we'll see 130 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:21.639 what happens, and to not return those hostages, you know. 131 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:25.279 And they were changing them from Palestinian prisoners, some prisoners 132 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:31.360 held without charges, youths that have thrown rocks, and some 133 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:36.679 convicted murderers are being returned. And so the bottom line 134 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:45.120 is innocent civilians versus Palestinian prisoners. I'm all for saying 135 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.279 they all come back, or we're going to blow you 136 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.000 to pieces. I have no problem with that, as you. 137 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.360 Can hear from handle Me Cono and just about everybody 138 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.320 else on the planet. Influenza levels in the United States 139 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.639 are at the highest they've been in fifteen years. As 140 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.360 winter whether persists, we got rain coming in right now. 141 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.759 As a matter of fact, second wave of the virus 142 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.840 caused more and more infections, according to the CDC most 143 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:15.080 recent weekly US Influence Surveillance reports shows that a seven 144 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:19.080 point eight percent of the visits to the healthcare providers 145 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:20.960 were respiratory illnesses. 146 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:24.039 And this is worse. Uh, this is the worst since 147 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:25.159 the swine flew. 148 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:35.440 Hey you got a mute, I'm hearing it out here.

First of all, 189 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.919 why they were sealed five million pages of records and 190 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.279 now another twenty four hundred, and the order was to 191 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.399 be released, and no one did. Biden didn't, Obama didn't, 192 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:22.519 George W. Bush didn't. It's doesn't make any sense. And 193 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.879 I think there will be released after fifty years. And 194 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:30.200 it's been long after fifty years of the assassination. All right, 195 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:32.799 you know we can what's on? 196 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:38.519 Okay, the fight over the Gulf of America. So, as 197 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:43.240 you know, President Trump signed an executive order making the 198 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:47.120 Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of American and Google 199 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.240 Maps is updated and it now says Gulf of America. 200 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.559 But the Associated Press is digging in on this one. 201 00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:58.000 They say it's style guide states that the news service 202 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.519 will refer to it by its agonal name, while acknowledging 203 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.200 the new name that Trump has chosen. The White House said, 204 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.159 you know what, you got to call it the Gulf 205 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:07.679 of America. 206 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.759 You can't come in, Yeah, and go ahead, I'm sorry. 207 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.360 So I was just going to say, and AP said, no, 208 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.840 we're this is what we're doing. And so they were 209 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.120 not let into the Oval Office yesterday. 210 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:24.919 Is that one time or is it permanent? And Trump 211 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.840 Associated yesterday. If if they don't use the AP does 212 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.720 not use the Gulf of America as describing the Gulf 213 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:38.080 of Mexico, Trump will be sending troops into the AP 214 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:43.480 and will be attacking it. I bet you will be accurate. 215 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:46.679 I bet, I bet you if it was a person 216 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:51.000 who wants to be identified as someone else. No one's 217 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:55.080 saying that they're dead naming the Gulf of Mexico. Stop 218 00:13:55.200 --> 00:14:01.480 dead naming the Gulf of Mexico. Everybody gets the reference. 219 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.639 Oh boy, I don't get the reference. If you call somebody, 220 00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:11.879 if you if you call Caitlyn Jenner Bruce, the whole 221 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.440 world would shut down and you would be that if 222 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:21.279 the APA called Bruce or Caitlyn Jenner Bruce Jenner, everyone 223 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:22.080 would flip out. 224 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.639 Okay, I'll buy that. Now is Gulpher Mexico four hundred years. 225 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:31.639 There's an argument there. Cape Canaveral, which became Cap Kennedy, 226 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:37.200 which became Cape Canaveral again four hundred years. Mount McKinley, 227 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.159 it's all a little goofy, yeah, Mount McKinley. Six. 228 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.759 Twitter, you're dead naming Twitter for people. 229 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.240 But it'll change, but it will change as it comes up. 230 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.000 Remember when Trump was elected, and this is any president 231 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.960 who's elected, the name is sort of jarring. President Trump, 232 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.559 President Biden. It's kind of jarring for a while until 233 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.200 you get used to it. Say one thing that I 234 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.759 still have an issue getting used to even though I'm 235 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.080 in favor of it is a man and this is 236 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.559 the newspaper reporting this. Now, this is straight news. A 237 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.360 man saying my husband or a woman saying my wife, 238 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.799 that is jarring. Well, we get used to it, Yeah, 239 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:20.279 we will. 240 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:22.519 I don't think about that anymore. 241 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.399 I do still jarring to me. Huh, I do that. 242 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:29.840 And I'm in favor of gay people getting married. 243 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.000 I'm in favor of people pushing back on Trump. I 244 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:34.919 just wish it was something a little more interesting. 245 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.120 It's a lot of fun. Come on, you know, the change, Yeah, 246 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:42.080 I mean the evasion of the AP. Come on that, 247 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.440 the AP offices, that's kind of fun. And threatening to 248 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.000 arrest everybody if they don't use Gulf of America. I 249 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:48.679 think that's fun. 250 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:54.120 I don't think he was gonna arrest everybody. He's gonna 251 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:55.360 arrest the whole country. 252 00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:58.159 Didn't we see that? Didn't we see that AP reporter 253 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:01.399 trying to crash the Oval office was dragged off in handcuffs? 254 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:02.200 Do I have that right? 255 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:02.720 No? 256 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:04.799 Oh? Okay. 257 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:10.240 Lawyers representing the Trump administration agreed tuesday to temporary temporarily 258 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:15.000 stop the Elon Musk led Department of Government Efficiency from 259 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:19.480 accessing student loans and financial aid information after a University 260 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.759 of California group filed a federal lawsuit seeking to halt 261 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:24.159 the action. 262 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:29.600 So yeah, this is with Elon Musk and Dodge the 263 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:38.919 development of government doge It's baby is set basically killing, 264 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.360 chopping up, putting into a blender of the baby with 265 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:48.360 the bathwater, and so they may be overreaching, who knows. 266 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.480 Although did you see the list of government programs that 267 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:57.120 are being funded one hundred million dollars for condoms in Guatemala, 268 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:04.240 ludicrous teaching or or helping LGBTQ weddings continue on. I 269 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:06.759 think it's pretty simplistic because it could be money to 270 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:09.839 an organization, and that is a small part of it. 271 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.200 So you know, I have no problem with the investigation, 272 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.759 but they're cutting, cutting, cutting like crazy. USAID. You know 273 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:21.759 how much of it is these ridiculous programs. Ninety nine 274 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.160 percent using to feed people, so you cut the whole thing. 275 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:29.279 So I've got some issues with that. I'd like the 276 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:32.279 idea of feeding starving people around the world, but and 277 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:36.480 I like the give an investigation too and telling these organizations, hey, 278 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:38.640 you want USAID, You're going to cut that crap out. 279 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:44.039 But that is an investigation into a particular program that 280 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:50.240 in what they're doing with the money. Oh, Fair Plan news. 281 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.200 If I had a billion dollars, okay, it was a 282 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.200 million dollars and that was a bad rendition of it. 283 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:01.680 But the California Fair Plan got approve from the state's 284 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:07.279 Insurance Commissionery yesterday to make its member companies pay a 285 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.720 billion dollars that it says it needs to pay La 286 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.960 fire claims. So the deal is, the La Fare Plan 287 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.359 is for people who can't get fire insurance anymore. So 288 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.400 it's sort of the last resort. The plans backed by 289 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:23.839 the insurance companies. 290 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:25.319 Insurance companies, right, so. 291 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:27.880 They've paid out like their estimated it's going to be 292 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.359 four billion dollars for homeowners affected by the fires. So 293 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:34.319 they said, well, we need a billion, and the insurance 294 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:36.319 company said, okay, we'll pay it, but we're going to 295 00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:40.000 pass those costs along to everybody who has insurance policies in. 296 00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:44.119 Galum, of which only half a billion has to be 297 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.440 paid by the insured, by the people who have insurance plans. 298 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.359 So it's they're divving this up, but the bottom line 299 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:54.480 in the end, we're going to pay. Of course, who 300 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.400 else is going to pay. The consumer is going to pay. 301 00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:59.599 But it's I mean, what do you do? 302 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:01.480 What do you do? 303 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:04.920 And let's say you have a utility that's at fault 304 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:09.000 for this whole thing, so file against the utility, which 305 00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:14.279 then goes bankrupt, which it's it's a mess anyway, any 306 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.319 way you do it, it's a it's a god awful mess. 307 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:18.559 All right. 308 00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:22.839 Your song was terrible, Amy, thank you, it was a 309 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:25.359 horrible I like this. Yeah, I'm sure you did. 310 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.720 I love that song, not arguing that I loved your rendition. 311 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:38.359 Yes, New US Defense ser Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected 312 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:44.440 to push NATO and EU to take more responsibility for Ukraine. Uh, 313 00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.039 And it's gonna be expected. He's going to be expected 314 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.720 to urge members of NATO to increase their defense spending 315 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:57.240 to five percent of their respected GDPs and ramp up 316 00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:01.559 their defense industrial base, start manufact entering weapons and equipment 317 00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:02.720 and stuff like that more quickly. 318 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:06.440 And that is what it's expected, and. 319 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:09.400 It's going to happen. One of the things Donald Trump 320 00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:13.559 did and I give him credit for this one, kudos. NATO, 321 00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:17.920 which was created as a force to stop the Russians 322 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:23.039 from invade invading Russia invading Europe was a North Atlantic 323 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:25.640 Treaty Organization fund that I think it started in nineteen 324 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:30.359 forty eight or nineteen forty six, was funded to a 325 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:35.720 great extent by the US, and most of the countries 326 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:41.039 did not meet their requirements of funding. Two percent or 327 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:43.519 three percent of GDP had to go into NATO. They 328 00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:47.279 just didn't do it until President Trump in his first 329 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:56.240 term said Okay, you don't meet your standards, we're pulling out. Congratulations. Well, 330 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.599 NATO doesn't exist very very well without the United States. 331 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.920 And guess what these countries did. They met their obligations. 332 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.880 And Hegseth is now saying regarding Ukraine, you're going to 333 00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:14.200 meet your obligations or come to the table, or you know, 334 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.640 you're on your own. Unfortunately Ukraine would be on its own. 335 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:24.279 So you know, that's what happens in Democrats and Republicans earlier. 336 00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:28.880 Just let these countries slide, and Trump is not. Trump 337 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.400 is holding their feet to the fire or is it 338 00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:37.519 their butt to the fire. I've always wondered about that term. Yeah, 339 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:38.039 that makes sense. 340 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:46.079 Okay, together but separated. King Abdullah of Jordan sat together 341 00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:50.160 with President Trump yesterday in the Oval Office. So they 342 00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:53.559 sat together, but they are not. They're not exactly together 343 00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.920 on what to do about the Palestinians. Of course, Trump, 344 00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:59.640 as you know, said we got to move the Palestinians 345 00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:01.519 out of the Gaza strip and we want him to 346 00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:07.279 go to Jordan and Egypt. And King Abdullah basically said, no, 347 00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:11.440 we are against the displacement of Palestinians. He said, the 348 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.920 United the Arab physician is unified. They're not behind us. 349 00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:19.000 There is only one country in the world, one leader 350 00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:20.839 in the world that's saying okay to that, and that 351 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:25.000 is Neta Yahu, who is perfectly fine with Palestinians leaving 352 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:29.839 Gaza and Israel coming in as well as everybody else 353 00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:32.279 into the new resort that Trump is going to build. 354 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:37.519 Did you notice how well Abdullah speaks English. It is 355 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.920 flawless English. He went to school in Great Britain and 356 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:46.079 the United States, and you can't tell that he's even 357 00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:49.440 Arabic at all. You can't tell he speaks Arabic. He's 358 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.960 one of those people that speak absolutely perfect English, as 359 00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:58.000 does Netanyahu, who went to school at MIT, and most 360 00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:04.319 European leaders speak speak English. Castro spoke a decent English. 361 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:09.480 A lot of people don't know that. Now Putin does not. 362 00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:11.720 The only thing you can say in English is we 363 00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.480 kill you Americans. That's all he can say. Most of 364 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:19.000 the rest of the world speak pretty good English. 365 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:21.160 The key is to only learn what you need. 366 00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:24.000 That's true, So Lenski speaks of decent English. 367 00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.000 Hey, I have a question for you. 368 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:31.960 I need you any Jew he can get into Israel 369 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:35.480 and find a safe haven. 370 00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:40.599 There, right, Yes, but there are some to make. Aliyah 371 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:44.680 is to go to Israel, to live there and become 372 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.599 a citizen. And as soon as you do that, if 373 00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:51.079 you intend to become a citizen of Israel, as soon 374 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:53.559 as you get off the airplane and hit the tarmac, 375 00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:56.960 you are a citizen of Israel. Now, if you're going 376 00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:02.839 to visit, you're you're a visitor. Sure, but it is 377 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:05.759 a safe haven. I mean, there's no way if there 378 00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:10.240 is any kind of discrimination, if there's any persecution of Jews, 379 00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:11.960 you go to Israel. It's a safe haven. It's a 380 00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.880 safe haven. Israel's created out of the ashes of the Holocaust. 381 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:15.720 I get it. 382 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:22.160 How Come no Arab country wants any Palestinians. 383 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:24.519 Because they don't want to pay for it. Because the 384 00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:27.960 Arabs don't really give a rats about Palestinians because it's 385 00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:32.720 all lip service. The Arab countries only want to they 386 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:37.359 all knows, because that's who the Arab countries are, that's 387 00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.119 what they're about me. So it's lip service back and forth. 388 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:46.000 For example, Saudi Arabia hates Israel, does not want anything 389 00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:49.119 to do with Israel, although that's changing. Is it's been 390 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.039 lip service for years and years and years and years. 391 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.319 They're more scared of Tehran than they are of anything else. 392 00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.640 Saudi Arabia has F sixteens, for example, the United States 393 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:05.400 had sold them F sixteen's. There is an extended tank 394 00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:09.839 for fuel that's made by Israel. They're the only country 395 00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:12.119 in the world that makes this kind of a tank 396 00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.480 that you know, fuel tank that latches on the airplane, 397 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.559 it goes on the airplane, and Saudi Arabia wanted them, 398 00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:23.240 so Israel. Israel manufactures them, and you know what they do. 399 00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:30.079 It's a Cyprus company that distributes those fuel tanks to 400 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:34.759 Saudi Arabia and that's been going on for decades and decades. 401 00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:38.880
