	This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
	A commentator, international social media sensation, and foreman Navy Intelligence Veteran.
	This is Human Events with your host, Jack Pesovic.
	Christ is king.
	President Trump hosts last ditch talks with congressional leaders to avoid a government shutdown.
	The Democrats have become radical left lunatics.
	They have policies that nobody's gonna buy.
	And uh, you know, I see what's going on in New York.
	We're going to have a perhaps a communist mayor because it's split up.
	You know, if the people would get together and have one candidate, then have a think a pretty good chance.
	But looks like maybe they're not gonna do that.
	But we're gonna end up with a communist mayor.
	It's not even believable, my beautiful New York.
	A deadly attack on a church meeting house in Michigan, killing at least two people and injuring eight.
	From what I understand, based on my conversations with the FBI director, all they know right now is this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon faith.
	Uh, and they are trying to understand more uh about this, how premeditated it was, how much planning went into it, whether he left a note, all of those questions uh have yet to be answered, but certainly will be answered.
	One thing for sure.
	We must fight fire with fire.
	New protests in Portland, Oregon, in response to President Trump ordering troops into the city that he claims is war ravaged.
	The commander in chief vowing to protect ICE facilities, he says are under siege by Antifa.
	Well, people are now taking to the streets.
	They are pushing back on the military move.
	Tifa and other left-wing activists have rallied outside of this ICE facility here every night and clash with federal agents.
	Some of those protests even turning violent.
	We say bypass.
	We say deep deep.
	We say we are going to be in the air.
	We are here live in Washington, DC.
	Today is September 29th, 2025.
	Anno Domini.
	First show I've done in this studio since hosting the Charlie Kirk Memorial on September 11th.
	Uh, though we will be back in Phoenix for the rest of the week.
	Folks, go take a look what happened this weekend.
	And after we got off the show on Friday evening, we got the word after we had interviewed the assistant secretary of Homeland Security, where we had been saying over and over that what we need here is an activation of the joint terrorism task forces.
	Well, kudos to Attorney General Pam Bondi, because that's exactly what she did.
	The full activation of the Joint Terrorism Task Forces, and this is across the country.
	So there's 200 of these.
	Uh, many in the major cities that's typically where they operate out of.
	So New York, LA, Chicago, Philly, Washington, DC as a special situation, uh, Phoenix, Dallas, you take your pick.
	So the Joint Terrorism Task Forces, these are the fusion and ops centers for intelligence sharing and for information that can go between the various domestic terrorist groups.
	Some of which, by the way, Seattle, Portland.
	You will see flow of the fighters from various locales.
	They'll go from one AOR to another.
	So when they're moving between AORs, that's when the different joint terrorism task forces can pick them up or drop them off.
	And we've got to keep the pressure on.
	We saw incredible videos that came out over the weekend.
	This was great.
	It's still reactive, though.
	It's still in a reactive mode.
	So they're standing there.
	They're doing the protection.
	They did fantastic work.
	And my hat is off.
	Hat is absolutely off to the professional way that the ICE agents, the border patrol that came in to support every other augment performed throughout this weekend.
	It was incredible.
	Also, we were able to break the news yesterday, even though it's uh it's a Sunday.
	We don't take days off right here around here.
	Human Events was able to break the news that the ICE officer who was involved in an incident that um uh involved the spouse, it seems, of an illegal alien.
	It had been reported that he was placed under investigation related to duty, that he has actually been restored to full active duty, fit for full duty FFD, because of additional evidence that was found over the weekend.
	A full review of the situation took place, and it turned out that that ICE agent did not do anything wrong.
	So we're happy to report for you guys when something good does happen.
	And here's the end of the day.
	The people that are waging domestic insurrection against the United States of America that have declared war on this country, and all that we stand for, that were we're trying to bomb.
	They actually uncovered a bomb at the Chicago ICE facility over the weekend.
	And more to the point, Charlie Kirk is not with us because of anti-fascist violence.
	Ladies and gentlemen, it will not stop until it is stopped.
	The networks are there, the networks are in place, the funding is in place.
	All of this needs to be investigated.
	It needs to be pressurized, and it needs to be wiped clean.
	It's really as simple as that.
	It needs to be wiped clean so the rest of us can go about our lives, so the rest of us can engage in civil American discourse.
	The troublemakers and the JTTFs know who exactly who they are.
	They're neat, they need to be rounded up.
	The financiers need to be shut down.
	Anyone involved in inciting or conspiracy to incite one of these riots, and that's what they are.
	They are planned riots.
	They need to be taken down.
	It's really as simple as that.
	Now we saw another act, horrific act of violence against the LDS church yesterday.
	Some other acts of violence over the weekend.
	We're going to get into all of that as we continue.
	Uh Prime Minister Netanyahu expected to make an appearance at the White House soon.
	When that happens, we will cut to it, bring you all the news.

	Now, we had this, and I and I was working the phones all day yesterday on this act of violence in Michigan, an attack on an LDS church, a Mormon church.
	The president potentially meeting here with BB Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel.
	Wanna cut to that and uh we'll go to it, but we're not exactly sure when it's gonna come out, but we'll let you know.
	But for the time being, we've got on Tyler Boyer.
	He's the COO of Turning Point Action.
	Tyler, how's it going, man?
	Jack is gonna be with you again.
	We've seen a lot of you lately.
	A little bit, yeah.
	Um, you can't get rid of me.
	Um, you know, when so we're obviously, you know, for once we're talking about something completely other than that we've we've been dealing with the last couple of days, but unfortunately it's yet another act of violence.
	Caroline Levitt came out and said that this was an act of violence directed at the Mormon church, directed at Mormons.
	Uh, do you have any other information regarding this or potential motive here?
	Yeah, so there's been a lot of speculation kind of revolved around the shooter here on specifically on how their uh what their intent was.
	Uh obviously, I don't think you drive a car into an LDS church and uh unload and start throwing out uh, you know, IEDs if you don't have some kind of hatred for for Mormons.
	Uh so I think it's safe to say that that that exists, but uh, you know, what exactly was the motive?
	Was there people uh that he had interacted with uh his his politics?
	I know there's been some speculation.
	Remember, in Michigan, you don't have uh partisan voter registration, so it's a little bit more difficult to determine who a person is based off of their registration.
	Uh there have been some suggestions based off of some kind of loosely posted uh pictures that you know he had some kind of axe to grind against Republicans or Trump.
	Um we just don't really know that quite yet.
	Um I think it's far more likely that religion played a factor in this uh given the you know that that was the target here.
	Yeah, and I'm actually seeing so the Detroit Free Press has an article up saying that uh this that a Burton City Council candidate um said that he spoke to the man, I guess he had knocked on his door about a week prior.
	So they were can't they were out canvassing and somebody knocked on his door potentially to you know either get him uh get a ballot for him or for one of the ongoing elections.
	And that he actually went on this this suspect here, went on a tirade against the LDS church, described Mormons as quote, the antichrist.
	The man was outgoing, polite, and extremely friendly, and it was his animosity towards the church didn't seem violent, but it was very much the standard anti-LDS talking points that you'd find, uh basically that you'd find online.
	He said this wasn't something that I would forget.
	And again, uh didn't didn't say anything specific, but that's the latest as of an hour ago.
	They found someone apparently who Tyler, as you just said, you know, they don't have the the registration or at least the partisan registration, but we are in election time, and uh certainly you know something about canvassing, and this is something that was I mean, those are the types of things, by the way, in canvassing that you would probably want to mark down in a special notes section.
	Right.
	And and it's really important to point out so you know, the LDS church is not huge in Michigan.
	Um, you know, there's probably a lot more uh threats against other religions within the state of Michigan.
	Um, you know, the members of the LDS church uh only make up about one percent of Michigander.
	So it's not like this is a a huge quote unquote, you know, you know, problem that that exists is just all this animosity.
	Seems like that this guy, based off that interaction that he had had with the city council candidate, just had some kind of weird obsession.
	Uh that that with that, and that's why I mean it even came up in that conversation potentially with that city council candidate, maybe that That gentleman believing that it was a bigger issue than was there.
	But, you know, it's this kind of spurred a lot of different conversations because obviously we know uh Charlie was assassinated in Utah.
	Uh there's been some kind of anti-Mormon rhetoric that's come out in the weeks from that that were around that, even though the individual that was responsible was not uh seemingly religious at all.
	But we'll get to know that shooter a little bit more deeply.
	But you know, obviously Utah being uh the the home of the the LDS church.
	And then you also had this week uh yeah, the president of the LDS church pass away, which is kind of like a big deal within LDS culture.
	So you have this really odd convergence of things happening where there's just a lot of you know forefront and in the mind of the Mormon faith.
	Tomorrow, we actually are are hosting an event, turning point uh on campus at Utah State University, which was where Charlie was supposed to have his second Utah stop uh in his original tour.
	So that's happening tomorrow, where we'll be interviewing a number of individuals who were who are present and involved around the assassination, meaning, you know, the individuals who were uh you know, part and parcel to the news, including the governor and and uh Jason Chaffetz, who he was there with his family at the time at Utah Valley University.
	So it should be it should be really interesting, uh an interesting conversation, especially given the news of Michigan and then also uh the bigger news of the LDS uh president passing away this last week.
	Yeah, and I think there's if if anything, because I know a lot of people are trying to draw some kind of line between these horrific acts of violence that we've all seen.
	I've called it bloody September.
	Um, you know, it started with an attack on a Catholic church, then a series of other attempts, then obviously Charlie's assassination, now an attack on a Mormon church, the LDS church,
	which they, you know, because it's so badly burned, we don't even know exactly how many fatalities there were, if others, you know, Tyler, I think there's it's it's something to be said that obviously, you know, Antifa is one is is one thing and that that obviously exists separate to the broader issue of violence.
	There's lots of people who unfortunately commit violence, but I do think that there's something out there, something of a copycat effect out there that when people see this on the news, that if you are, and and studies have borne this out, that if you are someone who's sort of on that, on that line, if you're someone who's got uh TBI or or any other potential PTSD, that uh, you know, that is that is left untreated or it's not treated well, that it seeing these things in the news does tend to kind of push them over.
	And I think if anyone's looking for a bigger connection, I I kind of feel like that might be it.
	Yeah, I I think it's uh it's you're you're bringing up an interesting point that we're in kind of a dark period here.
	Um, you know, you you referred to this month as bloody September.
	It looks like we're entering an era, unfortunately, that violence is becoming thematic uh across the country.
	And and we know that this is what happens is that violence begets violence, is that people that see this that are interested in attention uh in the sickest way possible, uh, you know, act on some of these thoughts that they've had in their head, and in particular in communities where they think it's okay.
	And this is why it's so important for our civilization to be able to embrace, you know, the the godliness that we we need to embrace, which is you know, been one of the positives that's come out of Charlie's passing, Charlie's assassination, rather, is that we've had many people turn their hearts towards God and be want to be better better people.
	But unfortunately, where that light is cast, sometimes there's darkness that comes in with really evil people trying to thwart it.
	And so uh regardless of what the motive is here with this in Michigan, uh, it's without a doubt uh pure evil that is driving some of these forces, and we're going to probably see more of it as the battle wages on between good and evil in America.
	Well, no, I I think that's right.
	I mean, the very first thing that I tweeted out was that this is demonic.
	And, you know, as as Christians, look, guys, you know, I I'm more than happy to to have the you know, the various debates and and gosh, we we've had them on the show so many times.
	It's like we've got a Catholics, we've got Mormons, we've got evangelicals, but at the end of the day, we've had them with Charlie so many times.
	But at the end of the day, when we're all under attack, we're all under attack.
	And that's what it comes down to.
	They this is demonic influence.
	There's no question about that.
	Uh demons are writhing in pain when people gather together to worship Christ Jesus.
	That's the end of it.
	And it almost feels like when the the switch is flipped, uh, that you're going to see unfortunately more and more of this.
	And uh actually, Tyler, when we come back, um, we didn't get to it in this situation.
	I want to talk about the fact that there's a good silver lining here is that we had a good guy with a gun.
	And at the end of the day, that's what it's gonna come down to.
	We all need to be getting smarter, we all need to be training more, we all need to be understanding that there's a real and serious threat.
	So it's time to take it seriously.
	We'll be right back.
	Jack Posobiec, Real Narciss Voice, Human Events Daily.
	We'll be right back.
	So they talk about influencers.
	These are influencers, and uh they're friends of mine.
	Jack Sovek.
	Where's Jack?
	We've got a breakdown.
	Jack Pesovic, we're back live, human events daily.
	We're talking to Tyler Boyer about this shooting and bombing of an LDS church up in Michigan.
	But Tyler, I know the president's gonna be speaking very soon here, but I gotta ask you, man, it was a good guy with a gun who stopped us, and that needs to be said over and over.
	Yeah, one of the church leaders that was at the on the dais was a person who happened to be carrying a gun.
	Actually, in the face of church policy, believe it or not, it's come out that church policy a few years ago was encouraging people to not carry at church, which is uh I think a total and huge mistake.
	Uh thank goodness for this this man who was able to exchange fire, it sounds like, based off of reports with the shooter was able to save probably dozens of lives, uh, maybe maybe uh even more than that by keeping the individual busy uh until police got there.
	And I'm our understanding is that the police put him down.
	There's a little bit of confusion whether the individual put them down or police did, but it sounds like the individual who was caring got shot.
	So he's a total hero, saved uh tons of lives, and that's what we got to see more of in particular.
	We've got to have people defending and protecting our churches.
	We have individuals.
	I want to drill down on something real quick.
	This wasn't like a security guard, this was one of the people on the dais, actually.
	Yeah, this is this is a the what the they in in the LDS faith they call second counselor and the bishopric.
	So you have a bishop who's kind of like the pastor or priest, and they have two counselors who who joined them.
	So all three of them are sitting on on the stand.
	And so obviously they had they had looks, and so he was able to pull out his gun, and it sounds like exchange fire with the individual.
	And again, thank goodness he was there because who knows who else would have been uh murdered uh if if had he not had had exchange fire with that individual.
	It sounds like he was shot, is what the reports are.
	So we're praying for them.
	Uh obviously, it's just another example of why it's so important to carry is that uh you have individuals who are sitting ducks in places like churches and theaters and things like that.
	And and the best way to fight the bad guys with guns is good guys with guns.
	And we know that from experience after experience.
	I mean, it's it's it has to be said.
	And you know, I wish, hey, don't we all wish we didn't live in the world that we live in?
	And you know, I hear the Democrats, the liberals run around and say, and by the way, Michigan already has red flag laws.
	So, you know, this is a situation where you know, the red flag laws didn't work here, the system didn't work for whatever reason, and you know, this guy was able to do what he did.
	And ultimately it's it it has to come down to that.
	And that this is what I talk about with violence on at the network level when we're talking about network violence, like this, like decentralized distributed, um, you know, open source network warfare, like a I talked about it on CNN, asymmetric civil warfare.
	That's what we're seeing.
	And the only way ultimately to stop that is with some type of state force.
	Okay, we're we're being told, Tyler, that being told that the president is walking out.
	Tell people real quick where they can follow you.
	Yep, just that at Tyler Boyer, B O W I R. Follow along.
	All right, thanks so much, Tyler.
	President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel, I believe a Gaza potential peace plan is being presented to this committee now.
	Big day, a beautiful day, potentially one of the great days ever in civilization.
	Things that have been going on for hundreds of years and thousands of years.
	We're gonna at least we're at a minimum, very, very close, and I think we're beyond very close.
	And I want to thank Bebee for really getting in there and doing a job.
	We've worked well together, as we have with many other countries, both of us with many other countries, which is the only way this whole situation gets solved.
	And I'm not just talking about Gaza Gaza's one thing, but we're talking about much beyond Gaza.
	The whole deal, everything getting solved.
	It's called peace in the Middle East.
	So today uh is a historic day for peace, and Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have just concluded an important meeting on many vital issues, including Iran, trade, the expansion of the Abraham accords,
	and most importantly, we discussed how to end the war in Gaza, but it's just a part of the bigger picture, which is peace in the Middle East, and let's call it eternal peace in the Middle East.
	So this is uh far more than anybody expected, but the the level of support that I've had from the nations uh in the Middle East and surrounding Israel and neighbors of Israel has been incredible, incredible.
	Every single one of them.
	This afternoon, after extensive consultation with our friends and partners throughout the region.
	I'm formerly releasing our principles for peace, which people have really liked, I must say.
	And these are done not just routinely done, these are done with uh total and total consideration and working with the nations that we're talking about.
	All of these nations have uh made contributions to those suggestions.
	I want to thank the leaders of many Arab and Muslim nations for their tremendous support in developing the proposal along with many of our allies in Europe.
	Uh Europe has been very much involved, and as I was called by many of the European leaders, most of them saying, is this true?
	Are you really doing peace in the Middle East?
	This is the most incredible thing we've heard.
	Some think it's the biggest thing they've ever heard.
	They called just to find out was it just a rumor, or is it actually done?
	And then he said, have you spoken to the Arab leaders?
	Have you spoken to the all of the other leaders that we have to get?
	A lot of people involved in this one.
	I also want to thank Prime Minister Netanyahu for agreeing to the plan and for trusting that if we work together we can bring an end to the death and destruction that we've seen for so many years, decades, even centuries, and begin a new chapter of security, peace, and prosperity for the entire region.
	And I want to uh just say that my meetings and dialogue that we had with uh so many countries, uh Saudi Arabia as an example, the king is a phenomenal person.
	Uh the Emir of Qatar, who's an incredible people.
	UOE and that's MBZ and ABZ.
	Uh we've totally involved.
	These are the people that we've been dealing with and have been actually very much involved in this negotiation, giving us ideas, things they can live with, things they can't live with.
	Pretty complex.
	I mean, after 2,000, 3,000 years, whatever it is, I guess it's got to be a little complex, or it would have been done a long time ago.
	The King of Jordan was with us, as you know, in the United Nation.
	The president of Turkey, President Erdogan is a friend of mine, strong man, but a good man.
	President of Indonesia, somebody who's an amazing uh leader.
	Prabowal, he is an amazing leader and uh respected by everybody.
	He was in the room with us.
	We were together with most of these people that I'm mentioning.
	Others were by phone or the next day.
	The Prime Minister and the field marshal of Pakistan.
	They were with us right from the beginning, incredible.
	In fact, they just put out a statement that they fully believe in this pact.
	It just came out just as I was walking around.
	They said, sir, you have a big notice from the Prime Minister of Pakistan and from the field marshal that they backed this 100%.
	President L CC of Egypt, who's terrific.
	And uh these are people I've gotten to know over the years.
	I mean, it's I would say it started around 2015 and then went into 2016 when the presidency began, officially began.
	But I've known them actually for a long time, and they're in many cases really great men.
	I can't say in all cases, but I will tell you, in many cases, they're great men, and some great women too.
	They tend to be mostly men, however, I will say that.
	But if accepted by Hamas, this proposal calls for the release of all remaining hostages immediately, but in no case more than 72 hours.
	So the hostages are coming back, and I hate even saying this from the standpoint doesn't sound right, but it is so important to the parents.
	The bodies of the young men, I believe in almost all cases, the young men are coming back immediately.
	I met with parents, the parents felt as strongly about getting their body of their dead boy back as they did as though the boy were alive and well.
	And it means the immediate end to the war itself, not just Gaza.
	It's the war itself.
	Under the plan, Arab and Muslim countries have committed, and in writing in many cases, but I actually would take their word for it.
	The people I mentioned, I take their word for it, to demilitarize Gaza, and that's quickly.
	Decommission the military capabilities of Hamas and all other terror organizations, do that immediately.
	And we're relying on the countries that I named and others to uh deal with Hamas.
	And I'm hearing that Hamas wants to get this done too, and that's a good thing.
	And destroy all terror infrastructure, including the tunnels, weapons of production facilities.
	They have a lot of production facilities that we're destroying.
	They'll also help uh train local police forces in the areas that we're discussing right now, in particular in and around Gaza, working with the new transitional authority in Gaza, all parties will agree on a timeline for Israeli forces to withdraw in phases, they'll be withdrawing in phases.
	No more shooting, hopefully, as progress is made toward achieving these goals.
	Arab and Muslim nations need to be allowed the chance to fulfill these commitments of dealing with Hamas.
	They have to deal with them because they were the one group that we have not uh dealt with.
	I haven't dealt with them.
	Uh, but uh the Arab countries are going to, and Muslim countries are going to be dealing with Hamas, and I believe they've already been there.
	I think they probably have an understanding, and they haven't maybe mentioned that, but I would imagine they do, otherwise they wouldn't have gone as far as they've gone.
	If they're unable to do so, then Israel would have the absolute right, and actually our full backing, the U.S. full banking backing Marcos here, and a lot of our leaders are here, our great vice president, Susie Wiles, Steve Whitkoff, Jared Kushner.
	They've been so involved in this uh in this process.
	I don't think anybody else could have done it or even come close.
	But it's uh we're we're right there.
	We're right there.
	First time in thousands of years, I think you can probably say if you really look into it, if you study back, if you go if you're a scholar, you would say thousands of years.
	Israel would have my fall back into finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas.
	But I hope that we're gonna have a deal for peace.
	And uh if Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible, they're the only one left.
	Everyone else has accepted it.
	But uh I have a feeling that we're gonna have a positive answer.
	But if not, as you know, BB, you'd have more full backing to do what you would have to do.
	Everyone understands that the ultimate result must be the elimination of any danger posed in the region, and that danger is caused by Hamas.
	The tyranny of terror has to end, and this is again uh something that we're looking for.
	This is eternity.
	This is forever.
	To ensure the success of this effort, my plan calls for the creation of a new international oversight body, the Board of Peace, we call it, the Board of Peace, sort of a beautiful name, the Board of Peace, which will be headed, not at my request, believe me.
	I'm very busy, but we have to make sure this works.
	Uh the leaders of the Arab world and Israel and everybody involved asked me to do this, so it would be headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump of the United States.
	That's what I want is some extra work to do, but it's so important that I'm willing to do it, and we'll do it right, and we're gonna put leaders from other countries on and leaders that are very distinguished leaders, and we'll have a board, and one of the people that wants to be on the board is the UK former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, good man, very good man, and uh some others, and they'll be named over the next few days.
	And it'll be quite the board working, everybody wants to be on it now.
	I don't know if that had anything to do.
	They named me and everybody else wanted to be on it.
	I guess they figure, oh, he's a soft touch, he'll be easy to deal with.
	Working with the World Bank and others, it will be responsible for recruiting and training, a new government that will be made up of Palestinians along with highly qualified experts from all around the world.
	Hamas and other terrorist factions will play no role in the uh board, but uh they'll play no role in the governance of Gaza at all, directly or indirectly.
	As you know, uh thousands of Hamas leaders have been killed and and soldiers have been killed.
	And we can never forget October 7th, but thousands have paid the price for that, and now it's time to get our hostages back and get back to trying to build something that's really great and very important.
	In our meeting today, Prime Minister Netanyahu was very clear about his opposition to a Palestinian state, and he continuously mentions October 7th, and I understand that.
	Most people do.
	And I understand and respect his position on many things, but what he's doing today is so good for Israel.
	And I notice that uh they have large crowds gathering in Israel all the time, and they have my name up.
	They like me for whatever reason, maybe I don't know, but they do like me.
	But uh they say two things.
	Please get the hostages back and please end the war.
	They've had it.
	It's had it.
	So I think it's a very popular thing you do, because he's a warrior.
	He doesn't know about uh getting back to a normal way of life.
	But he is a warrior, and Israel's lucky to have him.
	But now the people want To get back to peace, they want to get back to normalization in a true sense.
	Several countries have foolishly recognized the Palestinian state, as you know, some of our European friends, allies, good people, but they're really, I think doing that because they're very tired of what's going on for so many decades.
	They've been presidents and prime ministers for years, and during this time, having to do with the Middle East, all they're doing is talking about the same thing over and over.
	They want to see it get back.
	And nobody wants that more than me, or I believe Bibi, too.
	But the people of Israel want it.
	They really want it.
	They want the hostages back.
	That includes the probably 32 bodies that we're talking about.
	20 people that are living, 32 or so people that are dead, and they want to have peace.
	So let us not forget how we got here.
	Hamas was elected by the Palestinian people.
	Israel withdrew from Gaza thinking they would live in peace.
	Remember that a long time ago, they withdrew, they said, you take it.
	This is our contribution to peace.
	But that didn't work out.
	That didn't work out.
	It was the opposite of peace.
	They pulled away, they let them have it.
	And I never forgot that because I said that doesn't sound like a good deal to me.
	As a real estate person, I mean, they gave up the ocean, right?
	Ron, they gave up the ocean.
	They said, who would do this deal?
	And it still didn't work out.
	They were very generous, actually.
	And uh they gave up the most magnificent piece of land in many ways in the Middle East, and they said all we want to do now is have peace, and uh that was that request was not honored.
	Instead of building a better life for the Palestinians, Hamas diverted resources to build over 400 miles of tunnels and terror infrastructure, rocket production facilities, and hid their military command posts and launch sites in hospitals, schools, and mosques.
	So if you want after them, uh you'd be after them, and you wouldn't even realize you ended up knocking out a hospital or school or a mosque.
	That terrible thing.
	Terrible, terrible way to have to fight.
	No fight is good, but that's a real bad one.
	So there are many Palestinians who wish to live in peace, many, many of many.
	I've seen so many of them.
	And they have support, and I challenge the Palestinians to take responsibility for their destiny, because that's what we're giving them.
	We're giving them responsibility for their destiny, fully condemn and prohibit terrorism and earn their way to a brighter future.
	They don't want the life that they've had.
	They've had a rough life with Hamas.
	If the Palestinian Authority does not complete the reforms that I laid out in my vision for peace in 2020, they'll have only themselves to blame.
	We're giving them an amazing footprint, and they have amazing support from the leaders of the Arab world and the Muslim world, the great great leaders.
	These are great leaders.
	These are unbelievable leaders that are built great countries and very wealthy countries.
	What the future holds for the Palestinians, no one really knows, but the plan that we put forward today is focused on ending the war immediately, getting all of our hostages back, getting everything back.
	Hard to believe when you even say it.
	And creating conditions for durable, Israeli security and Palestinian success, Israeli security is going to be involved.
	We're going to help you.
	We'll be there with you in terms of helping with security.
	We want to make sure it works.
	We just want to make sure it works.
	There shouldn't be a shot fired.
	No, there will be, I guess, because that's the way it seems to be.
	But they shouldn't have to be within a few days.
	They shouldn't have to be a shot fired.
	Maybe for eternity.
	Wouldn't that be nice?
	I hope it's true.
	I can tell you the leadership of that region feels that there's a good chance of it being true.
	So this will lead to a disagreement that we're talking about will lead to a sustainable long-term peace.
	No president in history has been a greater friend of the state of Israel than I have, in addition to negotiating the Abraham accords.
	I like to say it that way because the real people, That's what they call Abraham.
	I would say Abraham.
	But it's so much nicer when you say Abraham.
	So much more elegant.
	But the Abraham Accords are amazing.
	Jared, you did that along with your group of geniuses.
	And nobody thought that could be done.
	We have four countries, and sleepy Joe Biden didn't do a thing.
	He didn't even know what the hell they were.
	He should have had them fold up.
	But I think this will also lead to packing them.
	And who knows, maybe even Iran can get in there.
	I I hope we expect, we hope we're going to be able to get along with uh Iran.
	I think they're going to be open to it.
	I really believe that.
	But they could be a member.
	I long ago said, I'll bet you at some point Iran will be a member of the Accords, and little did I realize it was going to take this turn.
	That was some turn we did with the B-2s.
	But uh I think they might very well be there because it's a great thing for them economically.
	I recognize the eternal capital of Israel.
	I opened the American embassy in Jerusalem.
	That was something that everyone said would never be done, could never be done.
	Every virtually every president for many, many years, for decades, would campaign on making Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
	They'd campaign.
	They campaigned on it over and over.
	Is that right, Steve?
	Is that right?
	Everyone, and when they got to it, and I understand why now, because it was so when I got to office, I campaigned on it too.
	I said, we're going to make it.
	And then I'd get calls from the leaders of various countries saying, please don't do it, please don't do it.
	Lend the whole world, please don't do it.
	And finally I just didn't say anything, and I did it.
	People were calling me before I did it because they heard I was going to do it.
	And leaders of countries were calling me.
	And I think it was on a Thursday that I did it.
	And they'd call me Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, three, four times a day, and I said, tell them I'll call them back on Friday.
	And I announced it on Thursday, and I called them back, the biggest people in the world, and they said, You've done it.
	I said, Done what?
	You've made the capital of Israel, Jerusalem, and we wanted to talk yet.
	I oh, I wish you called me a little sooner.
	Maybe I could have done something about.
	So that was a lot easier than getting into an argument.
	Because I knew what they were calling about.
	And you know what?
	It turned out to be amazing.
	Everybody thought it was going to lead to the end of the world, right?
	The end of the world, Ron, that's what they said.
	It didn't lead to anything.
	It just led to something that I promised, and something that was very popular for uh Jewish people and a lot of other people too.
	I recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and I cut taxpayer funding to the corrupt United Nations relief and works agency in United Nations was interesting because, as you know, a few days ago they introduced me.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States, I'm looking at my teleprompter, and the thing was dead stone call dead.
	The things up here.
	I have a long, beautiful speech to make.
	I'm back 30 feet back, and I'm saying they're introducing me.
	There's nothing on my teleprompter.
	So, but I made a speech.
	I actually got good marks.
	You think Biden could have done that?
	I don't think so.
	I don't think he could have done that.
	I don't think too many people could have done it.
	But actually, it was actually more of a speech from my heart, if you want to know the truth.
	I think it was it was uh maybe better in certain ways because it was from the heart.
	It has to be from the heart, otherwise you're in big trouble.
	But I cut taxpayer funding for that very corrupt United Nations relief and works agency, and nobody thought that would be done and withdrew from the horrible Iran nuclear deal that was imposed upon Israel by Barack Hussein Obama and Biden.
	And I don't think Biden knew anything about it, though.
	I don't think he knows anything about it now, actually, if you ask him.
	He said, What is that?
	And we obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity, making it impossible for them to have a nuclear weapon, which they would have had probably in about two months from that.
	But I've never asked Israel to compromise its security.
	But we had big strong talk.
	Nobody's been better to Israel.
	No president's been better to Israel than Donald Trump.
	But we had a long strong talk, BB and I, and he understands it's time.
	It's time.
	History has shown.
	And the people of Israel want it.
	And the people of the Middle East want it.
	The people of enemies of Israel want it, but they don't have really too many enemies right now.
	And you know what?
	Many countries have gained great respect for Israel for the way they fight, for the job they do, including me.
	I had respect anyway, but they gained respect.
	History has shown us that those who have relations with Israel have thrived.
	While those who have devoted resources and attention toward the destruction and even annihilation of Israel have languished.
	They haven't done well.
	Israel is not going anywhere.
	They're going to coexist with other people and countries in the region, from Syria to Lebanon to Saudi Arabia.
	The promise of a new Middle East is so clearly within our reach.
	This is the closest we've ever come to real peace, not fake peace, not political fools' peace.
	If we can get this difficult problem solved, the opportunities for all within that vast region of this world.
	It's a vast region.
	It's unlimited.
	The Abraham accords show that all countries are better off when they communicate and work together and embrace new opportunities.
	I hope Jared and Steve and Susie and Marco and J.D., we are great people.
	I hope you guys are going to work very hard to get these other countries in, because now they have no excuse.
	There's no longer an excuse.
	They were somewhere hesitant.
	And I tell you the four countries that went in, I give them tremendous credit, and it's worked out incredibly well for them.
	In the same spirit, I'm pleased to report that earlier today we took another important step toward greater understanding of the region.
	A short time ago, we had a historic phone call in the Oval Office with Prime Minister Tani, who's really a great person.
	So we had a great talk, and I was on the phone, and Bibi was talking.
	Prime Minister Altani was uh of Qatar.
	Was uh they really had a heart-to-heart conversation.
	It was a great conversation, I thought.
	It was productive.
	It was uh everything that you need to have something turn out to be successful.
	And I want to thank Bibi, and I want to thank the Prime Minister.
	It was fantastic.
	We agreed to launch a formal trilateral mechanism between Israel, Qatar, and the United States to begin a dialogue to enhance mutual security, correct misperceptions, and avoid future misgivings.
	And I want to thank Qatar, its leadership, and the Emir.
	He's uh fantastic person.
	I think, you know, I'm gonna be his public relations man because I know him differently than a lot of people know him.
	But he wants peace, he wants to see peace.
	And his people, and they really acknowledge the critical role that they've played in mediator.
	And uh again, we're not quite finished.
	We have to get Hamas, but I think they're gonna be able to do that.
	So now it's time for Hamas to accept the terms of the plan that we've put forward today.
	And again, uh, this is a different Hamas than we were dealing with because I guess over 20,000 have been killed.
	Their leadership has been killed three times over.
	So you're really dealing with different people than we've been dealing with over the last four years, five years.
	Everyone has done their part and come to the table in good faith.
	Our Arab and Muslim partners are fully prepared to step up and fulfill their commitments for the benefit of the people of Gaza and the entire region.
	They're willing to step up and do a lot.
	They really are.
	There are a lot of good people involved.
	Everyone wants to see, everybody who wants to see an end to the violence and destruction should be united in calling for Hamas to accept the extremely fair proposal so that we can end the war and get us back our hostages right now and have everlasting peace.
	And I look forward to having uh relationships with everyone as the chairman of the board.
	Uh I'll be involved and we'll have meetings with some very smart people that'll be working over there to make sure that we haven't just been wasting time with an agreement that doesn't get done.
	The task of building peace will not be easy.
	There's some of the hardest problems in the world to solve, and that's why it's been going on for so many uh centuries, but too many lives are at stake not to try, and this is more than a try.
	I mean, I think this is something that that gets done when you have every virtually every country, and these are powerful, powerful countries that have a lot of money, and the money can make things happen.
	A lot of countries try and they don't have any money.
	These are very rich countries that can make things happen.
	So together we'll forge a much safer and more hopeful future for everybody, including Israel.
	And I want to thank Prime Minister Netanyahu for his partnership, and I want to thank all of the leaders, the kings and the emirs and the presidents and prime ministers, people I mentioned, and uh they've been absolutely fantastic to work with, and it's just happened very quickly.
	It's happened from uh a couple of weeks before the uh I had a meeting, a couple of meetings, but a couple of weeks before we went to the United Nations, and we had some just we had some incredible meetings.
	It all came to place, it all took place, and everybody wanted to be a part of it.
	I don't have anybody that's saying we don't want anything to do with it, it's just the opposite.
	And I'll tell you, a couple of years ago, a year ago, I don't think we would have had this kind of participation, Mr. VP, right?
	I don't think we would have had.
	It's been amazing.
	The participation was a hundred percent.
	Everybody wants to be a part of it, and everybody, those very strong countries, everybody wants it to work.
	So, BB, uh, congratulations on this.
	This is, I think this will be your crowning achievement, frankly.
	If this all works out, we think it will.
	It's going to be your crowning achievement, and I want to thank you very much for being here.
	Thank you.
	Please.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Mr. President, first I want to thank you for graciously hosting me once again in the White House.
	And second, I want to thank you for your for your friendship and for your leadership.
	From Jerusalem to Tehran, from the Golan Heights to Gaza.
	You've proven time and again what I've said many times.
	You are the greatest friend that Israel has ever had in the White House.
	And Mr. President, you and I both know it's not even close.
	While you focus at home on making America great again, your leadership abroad is changing the world for the better, ending wars and advancing peace.
	I believe that today we're taking a critical step towards both ending the war in Gaza and setting the stage for dramatically advancing peace in the Middle East, and I think beyond the Middle East, very important Muslim countries.
	I support your plan to end the war in Gaza, which achieves our war aims.
	It will bring back to Israel all our hostages, dismantle Hamas's military capabilities, and its political rule, and ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel.
	We would not have achieved this turning point without the courage and sacrifice of our incredibly brave soldiers.
	They fight like lions to defend the people of Israel, and they serve on the front line in the war between civilization and barbarism.
	Mr. President, when our two countries stand shoulder to shoulder, we achieve the impossible.
	Just a few months ago, in Operation Rising Blind And Operation Midnight Hammer, we struck a decisive blow against Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile program.
	Your bold decision to send those B-2s made the region safer and the world safer.
	Now, under your leadership, we're taking the next step to win the war and expand the peace.
	Your plan is consistent with the five principles my government set for the end of the war and the day after Hamas.
	Everybody asks, what is your plan for the day after Hamas?
	Here's our plan.
	Pass it in the cabinet.
	All our hostages, both those who are alive and those who died, all of them will return home immediately.
	Hamas will be disarmed.
	Gaza will be demilitarized.
	Israel will retain security responsibility, including a security perimeter for the foreseeable future.
