This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Christians, I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

And where do people like that go.

MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul.

I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

Okay, welcome back. We're having to do some for some technical issues with some of our guests. We're trying to get them up may or may not. And of course, you know, we have people by phone, but we really have them by phone with this breaking news. There's something we got to get into analytics or some analysis. I always want them up on Zoom so you can see them and we kind of walk through and throw charts up, et cetera. Dave Bratz with me. So we're going to get into this Armenian situation in a minute because it's also got it also has a thing called the corridor that I think we have to understand. We're going to get Ube Chandara up here in a moment as soon as we work out the technical issues. To walk us through it, President Trump's essentially taking the afternoon today. They're going to come, I think after lunch. There's going to be a meeting, then there will be a signing. I think that's going to take place all tentatively 4 o' clock this afternoon. Of course, normally those things kind of run late or a schedule gets jammed. So we'll see in the five o', clock, five and six o' clock show today, Natalie's going to take the five and Dave Brat and myself will be back to co host the six. I want to go to something from the, from the the clip this morning. The situation in Gaza. DAVE Brat, it's a little bit confusing, but I think here's at least what we currently know is that the, the Israeli cabinet and I think it was a 10 hour meeting, 10 or 12 hour meeting, quite contentious. This is in a series of contentious meetings because it's contentious not just some people on the right of Netanyahu, but also now the military. This is all about this Gaza occupation and it's been released that at least they're going to send troops now into preparing troops. NBC's got a piece up about on photo reconnaissance. You can see that they're getting ready to go into Gaza City, but also looks like they're going to try to occupy Gaza in and of itself. And then they're talking about they will not recognize any of the clearly Hamas, which is nothing but the Muslim Brotherhood. And because militarily, they say they're going to take out Hamas and break the back of Hamas political oversight of Gaza, but they will not deal with the Palestinian Authority, another group of guys they don't think they can trust, but they want to turn this over to the Arab nations. Of course, the Arab League has said, hey, we will do this as long as the Palestinian Authority can govern it. So it's quite unclear your thoughts. And one of the things, you know, a huge congressional delegation, instead of going back home, went over to Israel on the coda. Right off the bat, my concern about this entire thing is that here's my issue, my biggest concern, just like the Persian situation or the Iranian situation, which we now know that the Israelis needed the Americans not just to finish what they started with taking out the nuclear capabilities, because between our Tomahawk missiles and our aerial bombardment, total obliteration, but that was 100% American. Also on the defensive side, the citizens in Tel Aviv and Haifa were taken incoming much more than people were led to believe. And, you know, we had to provide defensive capabilities. But then at the end of the day, I'm not even sure that was enough. These people were just getting crushed here. My big concern is this could be Baghdad all over again, right? I mean, you're talking a couple of million people. It already looks like Dresden. There's this massive humanitarian crisis and clearly, you know, the Muslim Brotherhood of Hamas are doing as much as they can possibly stir it up. But there's fault on both sides. And now you're talking about a complete occupation of this. My fear is, I hope that the White House and the Pentagon have been briefed on this. When they say, hey, they can do what they want, that's fine. If you say that, that implies to, I think, the maga that you don't need any American involvement. Now, at the same time, you're hearing Huckabee and some guys saying, we're going to put in now another 30 or 40 feeding stations that the United States is going to fund. Does that mean American personnel, means when you do these occupations in these Arab countries, that this does not turn out well? Look, at our occupation of Baghdad. That was a disaster. Let's go back in history on the ill. On the lies of Karl Rove. Right, Karl Rove and the Bush junta who lied to your face. Because it's documented that in the afternoon of 9 11, they were trying to tie Saddam Hussein to what happened in downtown Manhattan and in the Pentagon, they were trying to tie and they worked like crazy to gun deck the intelligence to make sure we got into a war. And of course, the war In Iraq took 30 days, I think, before Mattis and those guys got up there. The road to Baghdad wasn't much. It was years of bloodshed. It was years of bloodshed of, you know, in the occupation of Baghdad, in Iraq, that finally had to go. You know, you got the Colonel Harvey went over, did an assessment and then General Kelly at the time, who was a great Marine general. He's terrible as a chief of staff for President Trump. But they had to prove they're the strongest tribe in Anbar province. And we finally got that thing sorted out after, I don't know, eight years, 10 years. I mean, Mo went over there, I think in 2010 or 11, still wasn't sorted out. Eight, nine years later. And that whole occupation was a total. They had not thought it through. In fact, they fired. The general that came up said, you're going to need 250,000 troops, right? And is this plan any different? Do we understand? And we're saying, hey, let them go do it. If they want to do it, let them do it. That's fine, let them go do it. They're an independent country. They should make their own decisions. Right? But I think we need to know, is there any implied American involvement in this occupation? I don't believe the IDF general in charge, the chief of staff, has been so adamant that the IDF regular forces are so tired and beat up from fighting Hezbollah, fighting the Muslim Brotherhood in Hamas, the first part of this war, that they're saying they're tired and then they've got the volunteers, all of them are volunteers, but you got the reserve force be the occupation troops, the idf. The chief of staff in these meetings was so heated that Netanyahu's and I'm just saying what the Times of Israel and the Jerusalem Post are reported that that Netanyahu son, who by the way, doesn't serve in the military and is living in Miami beach, he tweeted out that there was a mutiny or a potential coup d' etat by the idf. They so opposed their president, their father, his father's plan. Your Thoughts on Occupy Gaza? Because, hey, if you're going to do it this time, you got to finish what you started. We can't have another Persian situation where they start something and they understand to finish it. They need us to be the. They need us. They couldn't even conceive of finishing the Persian situation. And that didn't even talk about defense of their own people from the ballistic missile capability. So this Gaza situation has just metastasized over the last two years. And, man, if you start drawing American. You want to kill the MAGA movement, let's have American troops go over there as an occupational force, because this will end in tears. Sir.
