00:03:43.340So there's a hope here that they come around.
00:03:46.620There's Palestinians living in Israel who say, I would never go back to living in the West Bank.0.90
00:03:51.720I would never go back to living under Hamas control because life is pretty damn good here
00:03:56.240in Israel. So here's my hope and prayer, and I'll tell you this. Look at what's going on in the UAE.0.98
00:04:02.480Gaza could be Singapore right now, could be a rich country. I wish you could see what I'm
00:04:06.900looking at. Gaza is 20 minutes away, 20 minutes away from where I'm at right now. The beaches0.90
00:04:11.780are beautiful you're on the most incredible border of the sea i hope and pray that they realize that
00:04:17.760you can focus on gdp gross domestic product and not gdt gross domestic terrorism and have peace
00:04:24.220and prosperity for your people and that will happen when the palestinian people and hamas
00:04:28.620want to live with a beautiful opportunity rather than destroy the state of israel because here's
00:04:34.940the here's the news israel isn't going anywhere israel is the bad man on the block at this point
00:04:39.440and they want nothing but peace and i hope and pray that that's what happens with trump's board
00:04:44.080of peace here in israel and by the way the question i got and jeff i'm going to come to
00:04:49.400you with this one i'm curious if you read this thing here hamas agrees to completely
00:04:56.440disarmament under historic god's agreement okay and bring in a real democracy type of thing that
00:05:04.560they want to do they're not an easy thing to do it's going to be very complicated
00:05:07.200If we use this as an example case study for Iran, do you think Trump is now at a point where the only thing he sees going with Iran is the elimination of IRGC and also replacing with a normal democracy where the Iranian people can be free?
00:05:24.000Do you think in his mind that's also success and that's also what they want to do here?
00:05:28.500Or no, that's a much bigger animal, you know, you're going with that's going to be more complicated than Hamas.0.89
00:05:34.800No, that's what they're going for.0.91
00:05:38.120Because it would have to be worth it, right?
00:05:41.020Why launch something like this that has the potential to wreck the entire global economy?
00:05:45.180The memorandum of understanding, some people would say, well, he got to a point that if they were willing to keep that, maybe that wasn't a vision of the regime change.
00:05:53.260You're saying deep down inside he still wants that.
00:05:55.000Yeah, I don't think that memorandum of understanding was ever going to be.
00:05:57.480I think that was a ploy to get oil prices to go back down, get the economy flowing again.
00:06:02.540I think their goal from the beginning, and I've said this from the beginning, was regime collapse.
00:06:07.080And I think they think it's attainable.0.90
00:06:09.100And the roadmap is, if this Gaza agreement plans out, that's the roadmap.
00:06:13.620Because what Trump has been basically doing here is good cop, bad cop.0.99
00:06:17.320The bad cop is, you want to continue to do what you're doing, I'm going to kill you.0.99
00:07:42.160And I'm being genuinely inquisitive.0.73
00:07:44.220I don't know, because what I thought, it's a victory, meaning you killed, yeah, a lot of innocent lives were gone, but I thought Hamas was gone.0.78
00:09:52.380So I think the way that Trump is looking at this, you know, he thinks that unless he actually decimates the IRGC, they're going to try to kill him or try to kill his family.
00:10:07.960It's because they actually attempted to do that.
00:10:10.080Do you know there's two people sitting in American jails right now?
00:10:12.440One guy's name is Asif Merchant, who is a Pakistani national.
00:10:15.700The other guy's name is Farhad Sheken, is an Afghani national living in Iran, who are in jail right now because they tried to kill Trump.
00:10:21.920So you talk about geopolitics. For me, there might be a portion of this that's deeply personal where Trump says, if I don't eliminate this regime, this IRGC and this horrible ideology, they might not only kill me, they might come after my family.0.62
00:10:37.040So it's personal, but it's also geopolitical. And unless the moderates win in Iran and in Gaza and in Lebanon and all around the world, the fanaticals could basically come back again.
00:10:49.360And that's the hope, is that the moderates beat the fanaticals within those countries that have those countries hostage.
