| I think that President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu are going to try to solve the war and to end the war in Gaza sooner rather than later with some kind of big deal. | |
| And if they do that, if there's a major deal and all the hostages are returned, I think that Prime Minister Netanyahu will go to early elections. | |
| You know, there's a cloud hanging over him because of October 7th, because he was the man in power on October 7th, because he's the dominant politician in Israel of the last 20 years. | |
| So some measure of responsibility for October 7th attaches to him. | |
| He has almost completely redeemed himself because he has removed an existential threat to the Jewish people. | |
| All Jewish holidays are they tried to kill us, they failed, let's eat. | |
| As people go, it's Friday as you and I are talking to each other, as they go to have their Shabbat meal tonight. | |
| This is basically what they're all going to say. | |
| They tried to kill us, they failed, let's eat. | |
| And Prime Minister Netanyahu knows he's got that story now, and this was his life's mission, ending the Iranian nuclear threat. | |
| On that basis, I think he's going to want to go to elections. | |
| And just very briefly, for the record, the threat of war in the Middle East, which there always is some more or less at this point. | |
| Oh, much less. | |
| Much less. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| And we discussed many of the reasons why that might be the case, but succinctly, why does this arrangement right now, after this 12-day war, after the U.S. involvement, which a lot of people feared would create more war or unleash even a world war? | |
| I mean, this is what some of the fears. | |
| I never understood how they were seeing. | |
| How is it going to be a world war? | |
| China is supporting Iran, but from a distance, like we discussed with the companies providing data and missile technology and that kind of thing. | |
| But they're not getting directly involved with their military. | |
| Russia can't get directly involved because it's been weakened by Ukraine and it's busy in Ukraine. | |
| So who's going to come to the aid of Iran? | |
| Iran is a third-rate military power. | |
| It's like a boxer that has one arm that's atrophied. | |
| There's no regular military. | |
| There's no regular air force to speak of at all. | |
| What do they have are terrorism, ballistic missiles, drones, and cruise missiles, and a nuclear program. | |
| And that's it. | |
| And the United States can handle that clearly. | |
| We saw it with President Trump. | |
| So there wasn't going to be any kind of large coalition coming and attacking in America. | |
| Iran was behind all of the wars in the Middle East of the last twenty years. |
