10
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:40.880
Well, good afternoon, Bill Martinez. Here we are live. Good

11
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.200
to have you with us. Exciting show for you. After

12
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.880
being off a couple of weeks, got caught up with

13
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:49.840
a little bit of the flu bug that was flying

14
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:54.159
around in my travels to Las Vegas and California. Who said,

15
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.200
what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. The flu doesn't

16
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.960
It chases you down in California. But all is well,

17
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.480
and I pray that your well as your well as well.

18
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.200
How's that? Huh? Okay? Well?

19
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.879
Coming up today? As I said, quite an exciting show.

20
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.560
John Hart, the chief executive officer of both in the Books,

21
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.159
is back with us to give us an update on

22
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.760
all things doze, all things open the books, new revelations,

23
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.200
things that we the people have been begging for for

24
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.400
a long time, and that is to take on the waste,

25
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.120
the fraud, the corruption of our US government. And Donald

26
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.680
Trump is being rewarded handsomely. The latest polling showing that

27
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.760
his approval rate is probably as high as it's ever been,

28
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:43.280
fifty three percent, probably the highest ever actually. And you

29
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.280
saw the response at the super Bowl, you know, during

30
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.439
during the Star Spangled banner, and that was you know,

31
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.159
the people cheered him. This is the general response as

32
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.159
opposed to what happened in his first four years with

33
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:02.439
all the negative Russian collusion and resistance that was brought

34
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.799
to us by the Democratic Party and what damage they

35
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.919
did along with Hillary Clinton, and they seem to have

36
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:10.800
gotten away with it with impunity.

37
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:11.080
Right.

38
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.199
How disappointing is that, but you know that's the way.

39
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.120
It is a different error right now, a lot of

40
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.680
positive things that are being done. So looking forward to

41
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.240
talking to John Hart about that. And then also we'll

42
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.719
go to Jerusalem in the second half of the show

43
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.479
to talk with the chief executive officer of JNS, Alex

44
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.879
Treman Is going to give us an update on the hostages.

45
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.240
We saw the release of the hostages and Donald Trump

46
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.439
had made the comment that it was in a sense

47
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.000
and this is my interpretation, not his verbatim comment, but

48
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.439
it means the same thing, and that is that the

49
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.840
pictures that he saw reminded him of Holocaust victims. These

50
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.319
three latest hostages to be released. I mean, this is

51
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:04.000
spiking a a response from Israelis to get the hostages

52
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.919
out of there. And as we know from our previous reporting,

53
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:13.879
the you know, the internal International Red Cross, I should say,

54
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.360
they have been in Israeli jeal at jails to check

55
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.039
on the Palestinians to make sure they're welfare and everything

56
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.560
is appropriate, you know from diet you know, go on

57
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.280
down the list. This is not what's happening with Hamas.

58
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.280
I mean Hamosi terrorists. They're not civil people. They don't

59
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.159
care about the hostages, and that's clear. I mean, we

60
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.280
don't even know of the remaining hostages. I think there's

61
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.919
over seventy remaining hostages. We don't even know how many

62
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.199
of those are going to be brought back in body bags.

63
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.560
And I'm telling you that's a heartbreak. I mean, you

64
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:55.080
saw the response already with just these last three hostages,

65
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.400
and it is upsetting, it's heartbreaking, and there is this

66
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.759
increased sense of urgency. And I will say this that

67
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.759
the the people of Israel, whether in America or in

68
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.159
uh in Israel itself proper, are very supportive of what

69
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.759
Donald Trump is doing. So right now, let's bring on

70
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.959
John Hart, the chief executive officer of Open the Books. John, Good, afternoon.

71
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:21.959
Good to have you with us, sir.

72
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:23.240
It's great to be back on.

73
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:23.879
How are you built?

74
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.720
Hey, I'm doing terrific. Thank you so much, you know

75
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.800
for coming on. You know, from day one, I have

76
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:35.040
believed that Elon Musk needed to connect with Open the Books.

77
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.279
I mean, you've got records, You've got information that I

78
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.680
don't think that a judge could block because it's been

79
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.199
long established. So I don't know, I'm a little confused

80
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.920
as to why Elon Musk and his team have not

81
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:49.879
connected with you.

82
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.680
Well, I think they are using the data that we

83
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:53.120
have built.

84
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.639
They're they're putting out our you know, reports and different

85
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.519
you know, tweentty things that that we've been sited in.

86
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:01.600
So I think there's they are using the data and

87
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.800
the thing the thing to keep in mind too, is

88
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.839
is back back when we create a USA Spending that

89
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.160
was almost twenty years ago. So we put all federal

90
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.759
spending online, let people search it through USA Spending. So

91
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.920
what I'm merging Doge and Elon Musk to do is

92
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.240
to really create an upgraded version of that, and I

93
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.399
would call it America's checkbook. Yes, And what Elon and Doze,

94
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.560
what they've done, this is really exciting. They've they have

95
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.639
now have a look at what's called the Treasury payment

96
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.319
So the Treasury payment system is kind of like the

97
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.160
Holy of Holies for the administrative state. It's where the

98
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.920
inner sanctum and it's only the high priests that that

99
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.720
get to access the Holy of Holies. So part of

100
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.240
the reason this panic on the left is that you

101
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.920
have people who actually are looking at waste and fraud

102
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.720
who have access to the money going out the door.

103
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.079
So there's there's the Wooly Lohman principle, let's follow the money.

104
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.680
So what Elon and Doze have done is they've gone

105
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.040
in and they've actually gained access to this to the system.

106
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.040
And the update now is a federal judge and Obama

107
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.439
or a judge actually blocked them from doing that.

108
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.319
And the claim is, well, they don't, they don't.

109
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.879
Have the the authority, they don't have the proper clearances

110
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.639
to look at this que sensitive data. And and I

111
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.480
think that's going to get worked out there. They're not

112
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.240
going to be permanently barred from that.

113
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:15.519
But what I what.

114
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.000
I'm emerging elon and doge to do is to use

115
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.240
access to that to give the American people the same

116
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:25.319
access they're now enjoying exactly. And the concept is is

117
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.319
you know, as you know and your listeners know, is

118
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.839
that the money in the in the treasury payment system,

119
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.720
it doesn't belong to the federal government. It doesn't belong

120
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.680
to the President, it doesn't belong to Congress or any agency.

121
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.120
It belongs to we the people, the people. So that

122
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.040
is our money in the in the treasury payment system.

123
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.160
And so the concept is just just as you know,

124
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.319
we ought to have the right to access that, just

125
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.439
as we have the right to access our own personal

126
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.800
checking account. So whether you're America, Chase through US wherever

127
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.680
you know, you you have the ability to go in

128
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.279
and and and the difference is if you're if it's

129
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.519
your personal account, you can write checks, but you know,

130
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:05.120
I don't have I don't have the power. I don't

131
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.920
want the power to write checks out of your account,

132
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:09.439
and I don't want to give you the right to

133
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:10.360
do that to my account.

134
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:11.800
That's called redistribution.

135
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.800
Now, when we have the government, we all pay taxes

136
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.959
into that, so we don't get to control individually. That's

137
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.519
why we have a representative system of government. But we

138
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.399
at least have the right to see, We have the

139
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:26.600
right to access and understand what is going out under

140
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:27.319
our authority.

141
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:28.560
And there is no.

142
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:32.000
Government other than a government that happens by consent. It's

143
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.360
we have a system of the consent of the government.

144
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:38.959
So these are basic little principles of democratic governance and

145
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:40.199
constitutional government.

146
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.199
And so all of the talk about.

147
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.480
Oh, it's a constitutional crisis for Elon Musk to have

148
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.519
access quat access to the system there, it really begs

149
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:51.959
the questions, well, who was in charge before you know,

150
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.360
we're talking about the executive branch having access to the

151
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.639
to the payment system the executive branch controls. So there's

152
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.959
no constitutional problem there. The constitution problem and questions are

153
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.480
it is it is true that only Congress has the

154
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.759
authority to appropriate money, but the president has authority too,

155
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.240
he has the authority of the veto pen and there's

156
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.959
but there's a big gray area on executive orders. And

157
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.240
the gray area is the result of this one hundred

158
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.560
year experiment that the left has mounted called the administrative state,

159
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.680
where for a very deliberate effort, we've outsourced authority and

160
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.959
power to unelected bureaucrats.

161
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.360
And that's that's really going to be.

162
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.919
That's what the argument and fight that they're forcing, and

163
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.080
that's needed to happen for decades. So it's a really exciting,

164
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.120
important moment and I hope they capitalize on it and

165
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.600
hope they lock in some of these new transparency tools

166
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.000
that the American people desperately need.

167
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.000
Well exactly, it's what they're asking for, John, John, I

168
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.600
was going to ask you, you know what, what arrogance,

169
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.399
what hubris that this administrative state has been able to exercise?

170
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.639
And that was my question was going to be when

171
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.440
did this start to happen? And you just said, was

172
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.279
you know, ever since the birth of the administrative state?

173
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.039
Yeah, and yeah, it actually happened, happened a hundred years ago.

174
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.720
This was really the dream of of kind of the

175
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.279
Woodrow Wilson first progressives and then you add you had

176
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.720
FDR that really supercharged it, and then the Great Society,

177
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.600
and that's that's the path we've been on. And so

178
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.720
I call that that's the quiet constitutional crisis we've been

179
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:27.360
living under. Is this is this decline of individual autonomy,

180
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.480
this decline of state power, and this rapid growth of

181
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.080
the unelected administrative experts, and the argument that they made

182
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.559
one hundred years ago as well, you know, we've advanced

183
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.120
so much in the one hundred and fifty years of

184
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:40.679
our country.

185
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:42.679
The society is too complicated.

186
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.960
We need to really create this class of experts who

187
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:49.000
will help us save us from ourselves and manage and

188
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.799
manage this new complex life we have in nineteen ten

189
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:55.519
and nineteen twenty, and that's that was really the precursor

190
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.799
to to this massive expansion of federal government power that

191
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:03.159
they and turned into creating the part of education in

192
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:08.039
nineteen eighty, Great Society before that, and a New Deal.

193
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:11.000
And I'm not advocating we get rid of every safety

194
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.159
net program. I think we need to perform them, but

195
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.919
we've gone so far that direction that the reason people

196
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.759
are panicking is finally someone actually is moving it back

197
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:22.240
in a dramatic way.

198
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:22.919
The other direction.

199
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.519
We've you know, we as we've talked about before, we've

200
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:29.440
had some successes with limiting, getting rid of your marks

201
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.879
for a decade, you know, pausing cutting spending for the

202
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.000
first time since the Korean War back in twenty twelve,

203
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.600
twenty thirteen, during the Coburn Tea Party era. Yes, but

204
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:40.639
Elon is going to take this to a whole new level,

205
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.120
which is very very exciting along over due.

206
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.639
Well, we're really lifting the hood in this mechanical beast that,

207
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.159
as you say, you go from you know, the early

208
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.679
nineteen hundreds and fast forward to twenty twenty five, and

209
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:58.399
the elites that you know, supposedly knew better than the

210
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.519
cumulative consciousness of three hundred million people. What they've done.

211
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.039
They've run us into the ditch. And on top of that,

212
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.679
the monies that they have signed have misrepresented the hearts

213
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.639
of the American people, John, I mean, the American people

214
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.600
wanted to go why do.

215
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.279
These nations hate us so much?

216
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.279
And little did they know because they're thinking, hey, you know,

217
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.639
I look at my tax bill. I see all this

218
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:30.000
money going out to support these nations and they hate us. Well,

219
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.200
what they don't realize is that we have these US

220
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:38.480
AID programs that are promoting color revolutions and disrupting their

221
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.519
traditional family life and religious life in their countries. You know,

222
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.799
thank you very much the USA, Right.

223
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.720
Yeah, I mean what we've been funding.

224
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.960
We've been funding everything for you know, transgender shows, operas

225
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:51.600
in Ireland.

226
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.360
We've done with drag shows at Ecuador.

227
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.600
So there, you know, DEI overseas, there's been a litany

228
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.799
of of a ridiculous program so that we fund and

229
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:02.720
and and let's let's kind of unwind that because when

230
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.840
you when you go back to.

231
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.720
When you go back to kind of the post war era.

232
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.799
So my one of the interesting things about my family

233
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.519
background is my great uncle flew.

234
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:13.360
In the Berlin air left.

235
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.919
Oh and that was a that was a in a

236
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:18.600
sense you could say that was foreign eight, but it

237
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.440
was it was for a very specific purpose.

238
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:21.559
Bye bye.

239
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.240
We weren't doing that for charity. We were doough to

240
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.559
help our own national security. We didn't want the Soviet Union,

241
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:29.200
we didn't want to start World War three. So what

242
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:30.879
they did is they they drew a line on the

243
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.440
stand and said no, we're going to provide support for

244
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.080
for West for West Berlin, and.

245
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:36.159
They and they did that airlift.

246
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:38.559
And and so I'm not advocating that we don't have

247
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.840
any role overseas or we don't have any humanitarian role,

248
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.679
but we don't need to be funding drag shows an equable,

249
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:45.240
of course.

250
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:46.399
And what U S A I D.

251
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:49.840
What US I D did is they they refused to

252
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:52.759
allow themselves to be to have oversight and be regular.

253
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.759
Senator Joni ERNs has a great op ed in Today's

254
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.320
Wall Street Journal that that that really is aligned with

255
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.799
what Coburn experience when he was trying to reform programs

256
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:06.000
in USA. Idea is that they do not want anyone

257
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:07.639
to have control.

258
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:08.399
Over their of their budget.

259
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:09.320
It's this fiefdom.

260
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.440
So again, that's what happens when you create the administrative state,

261
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:16.919
is you shift power away from individuals and even away

262
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.519
from Congress. Congress has given its power away. And and

263
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.960
when someone comes in and conducts over side.

264
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:26.159
Tear up in arms about everything that Trump does. Oh

265
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.639
my goodness, you know that that job belongs to Congress.

266
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.000
Well what about all the other jobs that you've abdicated?

267
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:31.240
Right?

268
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:32.279
Yeah, exactly.

269
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.799
And it's in our So the question the test really

270
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:38.039
should be is what is in our national security interest?

271
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.919
It's kind of this idea of enlightened self interest. It's

272
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:44.279
it's in our enlightened self interest to help Israel, for example. Yes,

273
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.399
it's not in our enlightened self interest to fund a

274
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:48.879
transgender opera in Ireland.

275
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.879
Those are two very different things.

276
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:52.960
So that's really what is.

277
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.360
They're trying to have a common sense conversation and keep

278
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.440
the things that are good and put those under the

279
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:02.799
State Department, but do not allow this agency to hoard

280
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:06.120
power and fun things that are that are contrary to

281
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:07.039
our national interests.

282
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.919
That's that's what's what's being what's happening right now.

283
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:11.559
You know, I look at this and I almost think,

284
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.279
oh my goodness, mel Brooks was a bit pressioned here,

285
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:19.480
you know, with his producers. Right, it's springtime Hitler in Germany.

286
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:23.120
I mean, how ridiculous. And this is like, you know,

287
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:27.519
you look at all these expenditures. But you know, like

288
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:30.279
one senator said, after a while, you're talking real money here,

289
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.559
and we're talking lots of real money, especially when we're

290
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.120
thirty six looking at thirty seven trillion dollars in debt, right, yeah,

291
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:37.639
you got it.

292
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.639
Yeah, And and there's an other examples.

293
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:41.840
Every day there's a new example I mean today there

294
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:44.559
was there's a report that that we spent fifty nine

295
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:48.840
million dollars, you know, paying to put put illegal immigrants

296
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:51.039
in hotels in New York City exactly.

297
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.000
And that's been happening for months.

298
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:57.159
Where famous FEMA's out of money, they can't support North

299
00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:01.960
Carolina or Los Angeles, but we and support the illegals

300
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:02.840
in New York City.

301
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.480
Yeah, it's crazy, and they're they're destroying whole blocks and

302
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.960
hotels and communities, and that's what people are upset about it,

303
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:10.519
and rightly so.

304
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:11.039
And so.

305
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.279
Their DOGE is really just getting started, and I think

306
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.279
they're they're going to continue to find these these examples

307
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.639
and then and then I'm hopeful that really to lock

308
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.039
these again, to lock these things into place, you have

309
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.399
to have you really need to take advantage of the

310
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:29.679
moment to have a better transparency tool that improves on

311
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.600
what we've already built. But then also work with with

312
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:35.000
the work with the DOGE caucuses, you know, the members

313
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.759
of Congress like Jony earnst and and Gary Palmer and

314
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.120
others on the House side, to to come up with

315
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:44.399
kind of an agency reorganization so that these things can

316
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:46.759
be written into law and you have all of these

317
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.120
all of these progressive members of Congress anicking. It's like, well,

318
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:51.600
if you don't like what they're doing, go pass a

319
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:54.320
new law. Exactly, Pass a law that says, I want

320
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:57.679
to spend taxpayer money putting up illegals in New York.

321
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.120
I want a law that says we have to on

322
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.559
the DEI project in Ecuador or drag show. And if

323
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:06.120
that's what you believe, put it in the law and

324
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.720
may happen. You know, they'll complain about oversight.

325
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.559
Well, the Republicans are in a sense kind of missing

326
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.639
an opportunity here because a wave is being generated to

327
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.120
deal with this problem. And as you say, the door

328
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.879
is open for Republicans to lead the way to write

329
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:27.679
law to answer this problem. Because the Democrats, meanwhile, they're

330
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:31.639
lost in the wilderness. They have no idea where north

331
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:37.799
and south is no matter all that you know, critical

332
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:42.000
Democrat analysts have been suggesting for them. They just want

333
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.639
to stay angry instead of Hey, look at the American

334
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:51.080
people have spoken. They gave Donald Trump the plurality of

335
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.679
the vote. They re elected him into office. His approval

336
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:58.000
rate is sky high at fifty three percent. I believe

337
00:16:58.039 --> 00:16:59.039
it's the highest it has ever been.

338
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.080
John, it is, Yeah, and but I think you know,

339
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.880
really the reason he the reason he was elected is

340
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.759
that people believed and they felt in their daily lives

341
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.160
they were better off under President Trump and they were

342
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:11.720
nder Biden.

343
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:12.559
Dot.

344
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:16.200
There is a direct correlation. Yeah, there's a direct correlation

345
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:20.279
between government spending and inflation. And the administration knows this,

346
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.680
and so they've started They've started with, you know, things

347
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.079
that they believe they are going to get public support for.

348
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:28.039
But I know they're going to very quickly move to

349
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:31.039
the higher dollar items, things like cutting one hundred billion

350
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:33.200
dollars a fraud out of Medicare and Medicaid. There is

351
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.519
an enormous amount of health care fraudt and when you

352
00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.960
start to shift that money out of fraud where it's

353
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:42.799
doing nothing other than enriching fraudsters and criminals, right, and

354
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.039
letting people keep more of that in their own pockets

355
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.400
so we can save and invest it, spend at your

356
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.960
local small business. That's when you have economic growth and

357
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.920
inflation goes down. And they barely even looked at energy,

358
00:17:55.000 --> 00:18:01.000
like energy, there's a fantastic new energy Secretary Chris right, Yes, really,

359
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.880
somebody should you should follow you, Chris, and I've done

360
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:06.400
some work with him before on this idea that that

361
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.640
the answer to all of our economic and environmental challenges

362
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:11.039
is economic freedom.

363
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:12.759
We need more energy, not less.

364
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:15.799
We don't need to demon on those traditional sources of energy.

365
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.119
We need to if you care about the planet, if

366
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.400
you care about conservation, we need to be drilling as

367
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:24.960
much as we can, because we do energy so much cleaner,

368
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.960
more efficiently in the United States than they do in

369
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:30.599
China and Russia and other countries that are that are

370
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.640
hostile to our interests, right, and so there's dose is

371
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.119
a going to move to those different areas and there

372
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.359
it's very, very exciting to see them use these new

373
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.880
tools to do a forensic.

374
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:45.160
Auditing in a way that in a way that we've

375
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:45.599
been doing.

376
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.319
So they're really they're taking what we're doing, doing it well,

377
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.279
and we want to we want everyone to.

378
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:51.720
Have access to all the great information.

379
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.880
Well, plus you've got all of uh Elon Musk database

380
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:00.440
and people that subscribe to them and connect with him.

381
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:06.319
I mean that's awesome. And what other media content commands

382
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:09.839
the number of ears and eyes that Elon Musk does.

383
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:12.720
And so with him being transparent and saying Hey, this

384
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:16.039
is what we found out. I mean, like today that

385
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:20.079
we're building a monument with holy water for doctor Fauci

386
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:24.119
or something, right, right, I mean yeah.

387
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:28.640
And so today also there was the Treasury secretaries of

388
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:33.519
the past, some predominately you know, Democratic administrations, are criticizing

389
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.039
his access to this data and saying, you know, you're

390
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:39.039
not qualified access to data. Well, there's no one on

391
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.839
really on earth who's more qualified right to look at

392
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.839
the data and the Treasure payment system than Elon Musk

393
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:50.640
and the team of brilliant young you know, data scientists.

394
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.319
And he's Democrats, Nuts, isn't it. I mean, you've got

395
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:54.680
these these.

396
00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:58.640
Eighteen nineteen year old wonderkins that just say, hey, this

397
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:01.720
looks weird. What is this line item for? You know,

398
00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:03.279
just asking the question?

399
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.759
Right, yeah, exactly, And and I think and we've again

400
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:10.720
we've shown the power of what we call crowdsourcing oversight,

401
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.279
where we've we made all the all the data for us.

402
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:14.160
It's been available.

403
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:16.240
We want to get it again.

404
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:18.480
A more rapid sort of immediate look at it, which

405
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.920
is what the Treasury payment system allows. So I'm convincer's

406
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:24.880
a way to give the public again read only access

407
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:28.319
to this data so that we can there's there's going

408
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:31.039
to be for every four or five people Elon is hired,

409
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:33.079
there's going to be hundreds of people all over the

410
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.079
country exact that would find this information useful. And and

411
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:39.599
so much of the traffic that's talked about, all these

412
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:42.359
examples of waste, they the fact that we can even

413
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:46.200
find them is something that we intentionally created the capacity

414
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.960
for people to do. So it's not it's opened the books,

415
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:50.720
but it's also a lot of other just good faith

416
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:53.599
citizens who are doing their own research and scratching their

417
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:55.440
heads and wondering why why are we funding this?

418
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.400
And then they post it online.

419
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.200
And there's a there's a discussion about it, there's a debate, right,

420
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.519
And that's that's how our that's how our founders were

421
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:03.480
in a country to work.

422
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.000
Yeah, you talk about a constitutionalized government and the consent

423
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:07.799
of the government.

424
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:09.559
This is what it's all about.

425
00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:11.680
Right, yep, Yeah, that's exactly right.

426
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.559
Well, John, as we wrap things up here your open

427
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:19.319
letter the Elon Musk to keep the conversation and the

428
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.920
lines of communication open, I know. Joni Erst said that

429
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.119
on day one, she presented Elon Musk with eight pages

430
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:30.440
and I had to chuck a little bit because I'm thinking,

431
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.200
knowing John Hart, he's probably got about eight million pages

432
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.440
that he gift Elon Musk.

433
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.000
That's just me. I know you wouldn't say that.

434
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:42.759
I'm expecting you to say that, But just knowing you

435
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:46.000
and knowing the team and Adam Manjski and in his

436
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:51.039
spirit and open the books and Senator Coburn, You've got

437
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:55.759
plethora of information here that will that will reach the

438
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:59.599
objective that the American people have put at the doorstep

439
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:00.680
of one Donald Trump.

440
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:02.480
Right, you got it, you got it.

441
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:04.640
We're going to keep up the pressure. Bill, appreciate everything

442
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:05.440
you're doing as well.

443
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:08.839
Well, you know, God bless you. I just am so

444
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:12.640
grateful for you and the team. Keep up the great

445
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:16.960
work on our behalf, because look at if we're going

446
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:20.680
to be a constitutional government form of government, a republic,

447
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:24.240
then we need to find where we lost our way.

448
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:28.400
Go back, like any good CEO would do when any

449
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:31.079
organization has lost this way, they go back and say

450
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.079
where did we make the wrong turn? And I think

451
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:37.079
that that has yet to be done. I'm hopeful that

452
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:39.640
it can be done because it's almost like you have

453
00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:41.839
to go forward, you have to go back in order

454
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:42.480
to go forward.

455
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:46.160
Right, No, that's exactly right, and you can trace this again.

456
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:47.880
You know, one hundred years ago.

457
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:51.200
This was a very intentional move away from the Founder's

458
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:52.720
limitations on government power.

459
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:55.039
And that's that's why we're in the situation where.

460
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.799
Well, you got it, but I believe the capacity of

461
00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:58.799
the people to fix it.

462
00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:00.200
Well, John Hart, thank you.

463
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.559
John Hart is the chief executive officer of Open the Books.

464
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:05.160
Open the Books dot com as where you can go

465
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:07.880
to be fully informed and stay up to date on

466
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:13.359
all things DOGE, all things government efficiency, waste and fraud. John,

467
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:16.039
thank you for being with us. Take care. Thanks Bill,

468
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.519
our gratitude to John Hart. What a great guy and

469
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:24.039
a great team on behalf of the American people. You

470
00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:26.599
know that if asked Donald Trump fix it, we know

471
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.960
that there's problems here. And of course the early reports

472
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.440
that we got from DOZE was extremely revealing. So how

473
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.000
do you go back? You know, as John said, we

474
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:40.359
have got to take on the inefficiencies of this administrative

475
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:43.240
state and take back our government. This is what the

476
00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:47.960
American people are demanding. We go now to Jerusalem, Israel,

477
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:53.200
to connect with the chief executive Officer of JNS Alex

478
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:57.440
Treman joins us. Now, Alex, good afternoon, Good to have

479
00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:58.079
you with us.

480
00:23:58.519 --> 00:23:59.400
Good afternoon, Bill.

481
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:02.119
Great to see you, Hey, thank you so much for

482
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:05.000
being with us. I'm so grateful that you were here

483
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:08.079
to talk about. You know, one of the first the

484
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:12.000
topics that our audience has, Alex, is the hostages. The

485
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:17.960
recent hostage release. Donald Trump shockingly said very anecdotally that

486
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:21.880
it reminded him seeing these three hostages come out, It

487
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:27.279
reminded him of Holocaust survivors. That is a powerful statement, Alex.

488
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:30.240
Oh, I mean, I think that everybody can see, you know,

489
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.599
just what horrific monsters come us are. There was pictures

490
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.279
of these hostages or ease, and you see the before

491
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:40.880
and after photos. You know, lost something like forty to

492
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:43.680
fifty pounds. There was a picture that came out of

493
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:46.240
the three of them in a tiny cell which was

494
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:49.519
clearly in one of the underground tunnels where they were

495
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:53.720
kept barely with any food, certainly without any natural light.

496
00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:58.599
They're suffering from severe malnutrition. And it also underscores how

497
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:01.039
urgent it is to get all the sausages out as

498
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:03.720
soon as possible, because they literally can befe for death

499
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:05.279
for them if they remain in captivity.

500
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:08.680
And by contrast, the Palestinians that have been released from

501
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:13.480
Israel have been health checked by the Red Cross. They

502
00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:16.440
come out, they look fairly good. I mean some have

503
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:19.000
said they've actually gained weight, not lost weight.

504
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:22.880
The conditions in Israeli prison for a terrorists are shocking

505
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.359
when you understand how good they have it. They're basically

506
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.119
living in dormitories and bunks with televisions in their rooms.

507
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.400
Many of them have cell phones. They're eating every day.

508
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:37.000
Many Palestinian prisoners get education when they're in Israeli jails,

509
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:42.640
some completing university degrees, even doctorates. Ya Ya Sinwar himself

510
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:46.079
was sitting in Israeli prison and he was operated on

511
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:50.440
for a brain tumor when he was a prisoner in

512
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:53.640
Israeli jails, and he was released in another prisoner exchange,

513
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.119
part of the exchange of one thousand terrorists in exchange

514
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:01.480
for one Israeli soldier. And the thanks that Israel gets

515
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:04.200
for saving his life and releasing him was the October

516
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:04.880
seventh attack.

517
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:09.640
Well exactly, and this is what Israel understandably and Israelites,

518
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:13.359
I should say, are concerned about, is that they're releasing

519
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:18.839
future terrorists clearly, because as has been said, if you

520
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:20.960
want to know what somebody is going to do, look

521
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:21.680
what they've done.

522
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.799
Oh absolutely, I mean we know statistically that they go

523
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:27.599
back to committing acts of terror. It is an honor

524
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:31.079
for these Palestinian terrorists to be sitting in Israeli jail.

525
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:33.119
It is literally a badge of honor. They do not

526
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.079
get rehabilitated in Israeli jails. They get further insighted to violence.

527
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:42.160
And it's the type of immoral choice that Israel has

528
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:46.400
to make, which is basically, you know, redeeming captives now,

529
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:49.880
saving a life now, when it's almost certain that someone

530
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:51.720
else is going to die later as a.

531
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:54.440
Result of that. But what do you do? This is

532
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:57.559
the type of moral calculations that Israel has to make,

533
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:00.519
and how much we value the lives of those we

534
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:02.720
can save now and only hope that you know, we

535
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:07.000
can track these individuals and hopefully prevent the violence that

536
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:07.960
they will commil later.

537
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:11.960
Yeah, you can only hope that maybe the Masaud or

538
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:14.039
somebody would give them a pager on their way out

539
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:18.000
the door, just saying you know, but that's just me,

540
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:21.000
which I thought was a brilliant move by the Idef

541
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:23.240
by the way, and many others felt the same way.

542
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:28.119
But because these are dangerous individuals, they've proven to be.

543
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:31.440
I mean so much so, Alex that even the neighbor

544
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:37.359
Arab nations Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia doesn't want any part

545
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.279
of the two million Palestinians coming out of Amas for

546
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:42.440
good reason, right.

547
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:44.839
Well, they don't want them. They don't care about them.

548
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:49.400
They only use them as pawns against Israel to delegitimize Israel.

549
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:53.039
They're worried that these individuals, if they come into their country,

550
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:57.119
will destabilize their country. They're not worried if they destabilize Israel.

551
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.960
In fact, they're happy if they destabilize Israel. But you know,

552
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:04.279
there's not been one country since October seventh that is

553
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:06.920
raised their hand and said, you know, we will take

554
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:09.960
displaced Palestini. If you remember the last of Ukraine Wars

555
00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:15.359
beginning six million Ukrainians fled, and the question was who's

556
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.119
going to take Ukrainian refugees? Even Israel took something like

557
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:21.759
thirty thirty five thousand Ukrainian refugees, But not a single

558
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:24.359
country in the world is ready to take a Gazen.

559
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:27.200
And I think that that should tell you what they

560
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:31.039
think about Gozins right now, even when you see the

561
00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:33.960
images coming out of Gaza and you recognize that Israel

562
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:37.480
has destroyed something like sixty to seventy percent of all

563
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.279
of the buildings in Gaza, you know, leveling complete cities

564
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:45.000
to the ground, and knowing that Palestinians are living in tents.

565
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:47.960
It's the winter now, it's the rain season in Israel,

566
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:51.160
and they're just sitting in muddy tents and they're still

567
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:53.599
saying we will not take a single Gazin into art

568
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:54.599
there exactly.

569
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:55.119
Well.

570
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:57.839
And the thing is is that with Donald Trump in

571
00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:00.359
the meeting with Bibnetna, who comes up with the idea

572
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:05.440
that hey, maybe we can turn Gaza into the Mediterranean

573
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:09.640
of the Middle East, the new Middle East Mediterranean Revere

574
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:11.400
Riviera Reva.

575
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.279
Yeah, I mean, Gaza could look like tel Aviv. You

576
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.839
know it's it's just thirty forty miles south of tel Aviv.

577
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:21.759
We know tel Aviv can look like it's beautiful and

578
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:24.440
anybody would want to live there. And the only reason

579
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:27.079
why Gaza doesn't look like tel Aviv is because the

580
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.359
Goazas lived there, because they had control over the territory

581
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:32.839
and they don't, They don't recognize the value of the

582
00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:35.400
real estate. They don't care, and they and they turned

583
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:38.039
there there, what should have been a heaven into a

584
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:41.880
terra haven. And you know, I think that Trump understands

585
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.440
that if Gaza gets rebuilt the way you know, and

586
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:47.519
the Gazas are still there, it's just going to be

587
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:49.519
the same thing that it was, and is well will

588
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:51.839
just come in another time and destroy it again. And

589
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:55.519
I think that what he's seeking to do, which is amazing,

590
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:57.279
and I don't think it was a surprise, and that

591
00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:58.839
the noalit he said it. But what I think that

592
00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:02.960
he's going to do is ultimately and Israeli Palestinian conflict

593
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:05.640
for all time and say to the Palestinians, you have

594
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:08.599
lost the conflict. You tried to win it, you've lost,

595
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:10.880
and now it's time for you to leave. And this

596
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:12.440
is going to be Israel. It's not going to be

597
00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:16.000
a Palestinian state anywhere between the Jordan River and the

598
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:17.000
Mediterranean Sea.

599
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:19.240
Well, let's go back in history.

600
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:24.759
Alex God designated the Gaza Israel, that is holy land

601
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.400
in and of itself. And there's got to be a

602
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:32.039
reason that all this destruction has happened, I can help

603
00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:35.240
but believe that maybe God is reclaiming that land for Israel.

604
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:37.920
What do you think, I mean, it's prophetic what we're

605
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.119
seeing now. There's literally prophecies that you.

606
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:43.759
Know, Jewish people who read from the writings about what

607
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:46.559
will happen, and you know about a great war taking

608
00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:50.200
place in Israel and taking seven months to clear the

609
00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:53.079
dead bodies, and nobody knew what they were talking about.

610
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:55.680
But when you realize that Gaza actually is part of

611
00:30:55.720 --> 00:31:00.359
the biblical Israel, I mean the biblical patriarch Isaac, he

612
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.240
is known to have never left the land of Israel.

613
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:05.920
That was one of his many attributes. And yet God

614
00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:08.200
told him to go down to Garar, and Garar is

615
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:11.440
the area that we know today as Gaza. So you

616
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:14.759
know Isaac was in Gaza, but he never left Israel.

617
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:15.720
So what does that tell you.

618
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:20.079
About the status of Gosim exactly? And the devastation of Gaza,

619
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:23.839
I mean it's like Damascus. I mean, it's been so leveled,

620
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:26.079
as you said, sixty seventy percent of the land.

621
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:28.400
And maybe you.

622
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:31.440
Know, for the Air of Nations, the fact that Donald

623
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:33.400
Trump puts out this idea of saying, hey, look, at

624
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:39.160
We'll bring in our labor force, are intelligence, and our

625
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:42.319
assistance to help clean up that land, because this is

626
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:43.480
not going to be.

627
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:45.759
A minor issue.

628
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:49.079
I mean, we're talking billions of dollars to clean up

629
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:50.440
the gaza.

630
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:54.559
Right absolutely. I mean I think billions is like understating

631
00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:58.519
the level of the devastation there. You're starting to see

632
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.640
just how bad the damage has been. Some cities where

633
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:05.640
literally every building is knocked down, and the buildings that

634
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:08.119
aren't knockdown need to be knocked down because they're also

635
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:13.319
pocketed with either board marks or unstable. The whole thing

636
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:16.319
basically has to be completely totally destroyed. It's going to

637
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:19.119
take many, many billions of dollars. It's going to take

638
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:21.960
many years to rebuild. And I think that's a I

639
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:25.640
think Trump rather looks at this like a possible realization.

640
00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:30.480
This is a distressed asset right here. We can sweep

641
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:32.839
in and we can buy property here on the cheap,

642
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:35.799
and we can develop something beautiful that can be worked.

643
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:37.920
I mean, tel Aviv property is some of the most

644
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:40.400
expensive property in the entire world. So let's just build

645
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:44.400
another Tel Aviv over here and we'll rep rewards. It's

646
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:45.640
just a real estate deal.

647
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:48.279
Well, the challenge, I mean, first of all, you've got

648
00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:54.680
the land to recover, to remunerate, You've got unexploded munitions,

649
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:59.400
got only nosewhere that have to be discovered and rooted out,

650
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:04.279
and two million mean gosins that.

651
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:08.640
Are terrorists of heart. How do you? How do you?

652
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:09.720
How do you manage that?

653
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:12.559
I think the gosspe issue is probably bigger than the

654
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:13.279
land issue.

655
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:16.920
Well, if you recognize how much leverage the United States

656
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:20.759
has over countries like Jordan and Egypt, it's a tremendous

657
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.680
amount of leverage. I mean, both of those countries are

658
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:30.480
completely reliant on American aid, UH, certainly military support. And

659
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:35.279
you see how the President has been using negotiation tactics

660
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:41.079
with Canada, with Mexico regarding tariffs, and even with Greenland

661
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:44.720
and Panama. And I think that there's a lot of leverage.

662
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:47.000
You know, Egypt saying right now that they won't take

663
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:49.400
any gosins. I mean the natural place for them to

664
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:54.279
go is across the border UH into Egypt. And what's

665
00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:58.440
interesting about the war is that also the Houtish basically

666
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:02.440
interrupted all of the commercial shipping through the Suez Canal,

667
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:06.359
which is one of Egypt's largest drivers of revenue UH

668
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:09.239
and Egypt's a very poor country as it is, and

669
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:13.480
they've been hurt almost as badly as Israel financially by

670
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:16.159
this war because of the Houtis action. In fact, you

671
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:19.880
wonder why the Egyptians did not attack the Houtis because

672
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.280
the Egyptians have an air force and the Houties were

673
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:27.960
harming Egyptian national interest. And Egypt even took a one

674
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.559
point five billion dollar loan in the last several weeks,

675
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:33.760
so they're they're really hurting for cash. And I think

676
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:36.880
that Trump can use the leverage and say a will

677
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:40.880
give you a major package to figure out a solution

678
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:45.679
to put gosins in the Sinai Peninsula, which is a

679
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:49.440
very large and open territory where most of the Egyptian

680
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:53.199
populace doesn't live, and it's available, and they can get

681
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:55.559
money for taking them, and on the flip side of

682
00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:57.559
they don't take them, that he can turn off the

683
00:34:57.599 --> 00:34:59.920
spigot of American funding. He can turn off the spig

684
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.880
of American military aid Egypt. So I think that there's

685
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:04.639
a lot of pressure that he can put on Egypt,

686
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:06.559
and he can similarly put on Jordan, and I think

687
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:09.480
he can also put some pressure on Qatar.

688
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:12.400
Which needs to prove it about in Saudi Arabia.

689
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:16.280
And Saudi Arabia exactly. You know, the Saudis have always

690
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:19.079
come forward and said that, you know, they wanted to

691
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:22.119
see a pathway toward a Palestinian state in order to

692
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:25.599
normalize relations with Israel. But nobody is defined where that

693
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:30.039
Palestinian state needs to be. And perhaps the Saudis, or

694
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:33.599
the Egyptians, or Jordan or all three. And the President

695
00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:35.400
has said that, he said, I don't know, maybe one place,

696
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:37.239
maybe two, maybe six, I don't know. That's what the

697
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:42.559
President has said. And so perhaps the Saudis will We'll

698
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:46.039
see a new pathway towards the Palestinian entity someplace else,

699
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:49.000
and then you'll even see them come around the normalized relations.

700
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:50.199
With well Alex.

701
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:54.760
My understanding is that Saudi Arabia would be optimum because

702
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:59.840
of their police force, that they have a very robust

703
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:06.320
law enforcement organization that could keep hamas and keep these

704
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:09.039
terrorists in check. And I think maybe that's part of

705
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:11.920
the challenge for some of these neighboring countries is going, well,

706
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:13.559
that's fine, and well we let them in here, but

707
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:15.960
they're radical and who's going to keep an eye on

708
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:17.039
them exactly.

709
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:18.920
That's the big problem, I mean, and that's a big

710
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:22.280
problem also for Jordan, you know, which is already a

711
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:26.320
majority of that country is Palestinian. Right, if you would

712
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:28.920
just look at Jordan by demographics, you would say this

713
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:32.599
is a Palestinian state because well over fifty percent of

714
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:36.679
the Jordanians happened to be Palestinian. And so the last

715
00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:39.599
thing that they want is two million more Palestinians coming

716
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:41.679
in there, because number one, then it will be the

717
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:43.960
end of the Hashimi kingdom, it will be the end

718
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:46.400
of king of those rule, will be overrun and will

719
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:50.880
definitively become the Palestinian state, which maybe should be. And

720
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:56.199
two we've seen how they've destabilized the countries previously, back

721
00:36:56.280 --> 00:37:01.159
in the seventies. Everybody remembers Black September, and so it's

722
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:04.719
a big question. And if you thought that the Palestinians

723
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:07.159
could have made peace before, well they're certainly going to

724
00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:10.000
be more radicalized, not less radicalized by what happened on

725
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:10.480
the seven.

726
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:13.440
Well, exactly like in areas like you say you mentioned

727
00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:18.079
in Jordan, you have to look at the demographic compilation

728
00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:21.679
of how it the balance is there right now, and

729
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.440
you know, two million people it may not sound like

730
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:29.360
a lot, but if you add two million aggressives into

731
00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:33.079
that area, as you said, it could knock things out

732
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:36.000
of kilter. And then you've got a situation there where

733
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.840
I think you've got a kind of a balance between

734
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:45.239
Sunni and Shia, right, and so now the Hamas agency

735
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:48.920
is more is more Shia than Sunni?

736
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:53.719
Right, No, Hamas is a Sunni, Hamas is Sunni. Mostly

737
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:56.719
Jordan is sunny. But as you said, there's there's about

738
00:37:56.719 --> 00:38:00.280
eleven million people living in Jordan right now. So if

739
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:03.159
you add two million Palestinians and you probably already have

740
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:06.960
about six million Palestinians living in Jordan. So if it

741
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:10.880
became eight million Palestinians out of thirteen million people in total,

742
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:14.159
that really does affect the demographic balance of the country.

743
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:16.960
In a place like Egypt, where you have maybe like

744
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:19.559
many more people, I think something like seventy million, but

745
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:22.400
I need to check it, you know, or in Saudi Arabia,

746
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:26.519
where the population is considerably larger, they can absorb a

747
00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:29.440
bunch and even better if you can split them up

748
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:33.519
and kind of reduce the number so that not one

749
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:35.960
singular country has to absorb all.

750
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:39.840
Well, alex I want to talk about being I's a

751
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:44.280
meeting with Trump in the White House. Trump immediately immediately

752
00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:48.719
released munitions to Israel, and I got to believe that

753
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:52.360
he did so because he knows that Israel is prepared

754
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:56.119
to take on Iran, because as he has said and

755
00:38:56.280 --> 00:39:01.559
others have stipulated repeatedly, Iran cannot become a nuclear country.

756
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:04.440
That's correct. And there might have been a little bit

757
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:07.800
of a disagreement between Nataniello and Trump during the visit

758
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:10.960
on the next steps to take visa Iran. The President

759
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:15.280
has already announced that he's going to reinforce crippling sanctions

760
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:17.599
on the Iranian regime and that he wants to try

761
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:21.800
to negotiate with the Iranians to dismantle their own nuclear facilities.

762
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:25.159
I don't really know how you trust the Iranians to

763
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.519
dismantle their entire nuclear program. You can even see a

764
00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:31.079
scenario which they say, sure, we'll dismantle our program, and

765
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:34.920
they'll dismantle, you know, some degree of sites. It will

766
00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:36.800
take a long time for them to do it, and

767
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.880
there probably will leave other sites that are very deep

768
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:45.039
underground untouched. You know. Israel knows where most of these

769
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:47.760
sites are. I think that Israel is probably looking for

770
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:51.000
a green light to attack. When it comes to the

771
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:55.760
weapons that were released, we now understand that the Biden

772
00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:58.960
administration was lying when they said they only were withholding

773
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:03.719
a singular shipment two thousand pound bombs. Both the Trump

774
00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:07.079
administration and the Nathaniao administration now confirmed that it was

775
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:11.400
many more shipments of many different types of weapons. And

776
00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:14.719
one of the questions being rightfully asked right now is,

777
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.960
aside from the weapons that Israel had already paid for

778
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:21.239
and was supposed to receive even from the previous administration,

779
00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:25.719
is the United States now releasing some bunker busting bombs

780
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:29.840
that body administration never was going to release. And these

781
00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:32.880
are the types of bombs that Israel would need to

782
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:38.320
conduct fast and effective strikes on Ron's underground nuclear facility.

783
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:42.440
Well, we know in the last attacks, Israel made it

784
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:46.000
quite evident that they could attack Iran at will, and

785
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:50.480
they took out their air defense. So in a sense,

786
00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:54.679
they're you know, they're right for the picking and the

787
00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:59.239
bunker busting bombs have been a point of contention going

788
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:02.440
back to the old years, which was you know, if

789
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:06.760
Obama was sincere in saying that Iran would never go nuclear.

790
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:09.039
We knew that he had his fingers crossed. He was

791
00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:10.559
lying to the American people about that.

792
00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:13.000
Yeah, I think that we know that that's the case.

793
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:17.199
Not only was the composit with Iran crossing the nuclear threshold.

794
00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:20.039
They didn't think that a nuclear Iran was any more

795
00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:23.320
dangerous than a nuclear India or any other country. But here,

796
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:27.239
if you see how much Iran has destabilized the entirety

797
00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:30.599
of the Middle East, even before they have a nuclear umbrella.

798
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:33.119
I mean, it's not just Israel, right, you know, they

799
00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:38.239
destabilized Iraq, They destabilized Syria, which now collapse. They destabilized Lebanon,

800
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:41.199
they destabilized Yemen, which was involved in a war with

801
00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:46.280
Saudi Arabia. You know, they have destabilized the entire region.

802
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:49.559
And they've been them in their proxies, have attacked Israel

803
00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:53.920
from seven different countries. And that's before they have nuclear weapons.

804
00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:55.519
And this is a country that doesn't say, you know,

805
00:41:55.639 --> 00:41:58.800
we want nuclear weapons for our own self defense. They're

806
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:02.079
screaming death is death to America. The leaders of Iran

807
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:04.519
are saying we will wipe the state of Israel off

808
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:06.840
the face of the earth. Okay, this is this is

809
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:09.800
existential threat. You know when maas that put their money

810
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:13.559
where their mouth is and are funding terror organizations all

811
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:15.960
over the world saying we're developing nuclear weapons and we

812
00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:18.519
want to wipe this country off the face of the earth. Like,

813
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:21.639
we're not gonna like we're going to take that seriously. So,

814
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:24.480
you know, Trump, I think, has come around and he

815
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:27.159
said even this week, even since the meeting with Natanyao,

816
00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:30.280
you know, we're going to negotiate a deal with Iran

817
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:32.239
to make sure that they never cross the threshold or

818
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:34.199
Israel's going to attack them. That's one of the two.

819
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:36.800
So you know, we have to see what what the

820
00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:39.480
timeline is. I know for Israel, I don't know if

821
00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:41.920
they want to wait to see how effective sanctions can be.

822
00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:44.760
I think for Prime Minister Natanao, he believes that this

823
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:46.599
is a now or and ever moment. You mentioned that

824
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:49.719
the air defenses have been stripped, so it does seem

825
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:52.360
like the timing fernt Israeli strike is very good.

826
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:54.000
Yeah, exactly, Alex.

827
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:55.880
We've got a couple of minutes left here and you

828
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:59.920
mentioned Syria, and of course that takes me north to Turkey.

829
00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:03.760
We've got to keep our eyes on Turkey right absolutely.

830
00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:10.199
You know, Iran's influence over the region is weakening dramatically.

831
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:13.840
And we see that the second Kitzbal wasn't there and

832
00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:18.760
Iran's air defenses were stripped. That that created a weakness

833
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:23.119
that was exploited. But al Jilani, who is now considered

834
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:25.920
that the facto president of Syria, who the Biden administration

835
00:43:26.039 --> 00:43:29.280
says is were formed. I mean, he's got al Qaeda connections,

836
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:33.880
and it's very clear that he and his terrifaction have

837
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:38.400
been trained and armed by Turkey. Turkey also smelled the weakness.

838
00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:41.280
And when any of vacuum is gets created in the

839
00:43:41.320 --> 00:43:44.239
Middle East, different forces are going to try to fill

840
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:46.639
that vacuum. And so Turkey is trying to fill that

841
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:51.760
vacuum and sees Syria as a forward facing base against

842
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:53.960
the State of Israel. And so this is really just

843
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:57.559
trading at this point one enemy for another. Israel is

844
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:01.599
quite aware of how dangerous a threat Turkey could be,

845
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:03.760
and they're going to remain on guard.

846
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:05.599
And what could this mean for the Kurds.

847
00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:08.440
I think that this what you know, if you see

848
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:12.400
solid diplomacy led by the Trump administration. You could see

849
00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:15.800
a block where the Kurds and the Druis in southern

850
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:18.960
Lebanon and Israel form an alliance that basically kind of

851
00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:24.119
cuts off Syria in half and make sure that Turkey's

852
00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:27.440
backed forces can only remain in the north section of

853
00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:31.440
that country. Said, there is a buffer zone between between

854
00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:34.800
Turkey's forces and the State of Israel. The Kurds are

855
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:37.519
are an ethnic minority that deserve a state much more

856
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:40.639
than Palestinians, and that includes Syria, and that also includes

857
00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:43.400
the Iraqi Kurds. You know, a lot of these countries

858
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:48.920
were drawn up, you know, by imperialists British and French

859
00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:52.519
after World War Two, and you know, we'll see if

860
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:54.840
they wind up getting a state. Certainly there would be

861
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:56.800
in a natural alliance between the Kurds and the State

862
00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:57.280
of Israel.

863
00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:00.599
Well, our thanks to Alex Trehman, the chief execut officer

864
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:04.239
of the Jewish news syndicate Jans dot orgus where you

865
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:08.280
want to go to stay informed. Any parting words here, Alex,

866
00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:09.280
as we wrap things.

867
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:11.079
Up, well, thank you so much. Bill. I mean, I

868
00:45:11.199 --> 00:45:13.119
definitely think we got to keep a close eye on

869
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:16.400
Trump's policies. But I can tell you that for the

870
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:20.039
first time that the Ninta Noiao administration and the Trump

871
00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:23.280
administration we're getting together like friends, which is a lot

872
00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:26.760
different than the reluctant allies that Israel had with the

873
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:27.800
previous administration.

874
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:30.760
Alex Trainman again, thank you so much. Shut On, take

875
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:32.199
care well, thanks for having me.

876
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:32.840
Bill got it.

877
00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:36.159
Well, that's a wrap for us. Our thanks and gratitude

878
00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:40.559
to Alex Treman from Jans. Jans dot org is where

879
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:42.719
you want to go for more information. As we mentioned,

880
00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:45.760
to stay up to date on all things in the

881
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:49.039
Middle East. They do such an outstanding job in keeping

882
00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:50.599
us up to date, and that's why I'm so grateful

883
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:52.639
for Alex to take the time. It's very late in

884
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:54.920
Israel right now for him to stay up late then

885
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:58.719
to you know, go around the entire region and give

886
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:03.119
us an update on all these different factions and you know,

887
00:46:03.679 --> 00:46:06.639
possibilities for peace in the Middle East. Ladies and gentlemen,

888
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:10.320
that we continue to pray for the piece of Jerusalem.

889
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:14.840
Also again thanks to John Hart, the chief executive officer

890
00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:15.519
of Opening the Books.

891
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:16.280
Open the Books dot.

892
00:46:16.199 --> 00:46:17.880
Com is where you want to go for more information

893
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:20.280
to stay in the flow of the NOE say dot

894
00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:24.320
com dot org. Anyway, the information is all right there,

895
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:27.360
all that doze is doing, all that open the books

896
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:29.599
has been doing, you know, for what twenty plus year

897
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:32.519
is almost twenty five years now in terms of, you know,

898
00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:37.639
doing a deep drill dive into the fraud and waste

899
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:40.199
and corruption of our government. This is what you've been

900
00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:42.000
asking for. This has been going on for over one

901
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:44.440
hundred years. Ladies and gentlemen, we know it, and now

902
00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:47.880
we have an opportunity. I mean, this is a clarion

903
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:52.880
moment that we're at right now. That requires courage, It

904
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:57.000
requires conviction and leadership, and we have the leadership in

905
00:46:57.079 --> 00:47:00.079
Donald Trump, and we need to continue to support what

906
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:04.119
Donald Trump is doing. Elon Musk and those eighteen nineteen

907
00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:07.480
year old wonderkids that are asking questions as they go

908
00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:12.880
looking through this evidence and the books that our government

909
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:15.440
has been hiding away from us. I mean, you know,

910
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:17.840
as others have said, if you have nothing to hide

911
00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:22.760
and you're so honest, then why are you hiding things?

912
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:25.199
I mean, there is a reason that they do not

913
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:28.679
want us to know. And we've gotten already a shocking

914
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:34.000
brief look at what's happened with our money, just with usaid,

915
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:38.119
you know, like a twenty million for Sesame street show

916
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:42.639
in a rock propaganda, fifty six million to boost tourism

917
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:47.159
in Tunisia and Egypt. Who knew, right, forty million to

918
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:50.559
build schools in Jordan, like they don't have enough money already.

919
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:54.079
Eleven million to tell Vietnam to stop burning trash. Eleven

920
00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:57.320
million dollars, right, let's tell him stop burning trash. You

921
00:47:57.400 --> 00:48:01.480
know that it requires eleven million dollars of America's tax money.

922
00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:05.199
Two million to strength and trans led organizations to deliver

923
00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:08.920
gender affirming healthcare. This is where it goes down a

924
00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:14.079
slippery slope because then you get Dai involved DEI scholarships

925
00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:17.039
in Burma forty five million dollars. I mean, this smacks

926
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:21.519
of a color revolution where America in the name of

927
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:23.920
the United States of America and red, white, and blue

928
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:30.360
go in and disrupt the traditions and the faith of communities.

929
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:33.800
And that's a case in point right there. Five hundred

930
00:48:33.800 --> 00:48:37.199
and twenty million for consultant driven ESG investments in Africa.

931
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:40.239
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. I

932
00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:42.800
want to thank you all for joining us and sharing

933
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:45.960
a part of your afternoon with us. May God bless you.

934
00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:49.760
And deep you may make his face shine about you.

935
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:51.159
God bless, thank you.

936
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:51.800
Take care,
