"Lebanon's militant group Hezbollah put on a show of force in one of its training sessions, which was unusually open to the media.

Rockets fired at Israel from Lebanon raise risk of conflict
"Militants have fired a barrage of rockets into Israel from Lebanon, ratcheting up regional tensions as Israelis celebrated the Jewish Passover holiday, Israel's military said dozens of rockets had been fired across the border and that many were shot down by its Iron Dome aerial defense system, Iranian backed Hezbollah, holds most of the power in southern Lebanon, which has long been a flash point with Israeli forces.

Are the WSJ Articles on Binance and Tether Trial by Press?
"Let's kick off with some good old fashioned tether FUD. On Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported that tether had used falsified documents and shell companies to obtain bank accounts, citing emails leaked to the newspaper they discussed some of the tactics used by tether and their intermediaries back in 2018. The article claimed that an email from Stephen Moore, one of the owners of tether holdings limited, said that a major Chinese counterparty was trying to quote circumvent the banking system by providing fake sales invoices and contracts for each deposit and withdrawal. He wrote that it was too risky to continue with this method, considering his signature was on the fake invoices, and recommended that the counterparty abandoned its attempts to open the account, saying quote, I would not want to argue any of the above in a potential fraud slash money laundering case. In March 17, according to The Wall Street Journal, Wells Fargo stopped processing transaction from several Taiwanese accounts that tether had been using, and in a lawsuit filed against the bank, tether called the move quote, an existential threat to their business, but withdrew the lawsuit shortly thereafter. A few weeks later on a conference call with users, Phil Potter, tethers then chief strategy officer attempted to calm concerns, saying quote, we've had banking hiccups in the past. We've always been able to route around it or deal with it, open up new accounts or what have you. There's been lots of sort of cat and mouse tricks that everyone in the Bitcoin industry has to avail themselves of. The article also claims that another account opened up on behalf of tether in turkey was later used to funnel money to a Hamas linked terror organization. And on top of that, the article also chronicles an attempt to funnel money through Panama using a company called the crypto capital corporation. The company allegedly used a series of shell companies to move around more than $1 billion. In October 2018, around 850 million was seized by authorities in the U.S. and Europe during an investigation into bank fraud and alleged money laundering. The seizure caused ripples through the crypto ecosystem with tether losing its peg and making a loan to bitfinex its sister exchange to shore up tether's balance sheet. But for next claims to this day that it was defrauded by crypto capital corp and is still fighting the seizures.

10 Palestinians killed, scores hurt in Israel West Bank raid
"Israeli troops have entered a major Palestinian city in the occupied West Bank in a rare daytime arrest operation, triggering a fighting that killed at least ten Palestinians and wounded scores of others. The raid, which reduced a building to rubble and left a series of shops riddled with bullets, was one of the bloodiest battles a year of fighting in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. Palestinian officials say a 72 year old man is among the dead and over 100 people wounded. The brazen rate coupled with the high death toll raises the prospect of further bloodshed, a similar raid last month was followed by a deadly Palestinian attack outside a Jerusalem synagogue, and the Hamas militant group warning that its patience is running out.

House GOP votes to oust Democrat Omar from major committee
"Republicans in the House voted to oust Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar from the foreign affairs committee. Speaker Kevin McCarthy says Omar has made anti semitic comments in the past. The military in America is equal to Hamas and the Taliban on 9 11 something happened that day. Omar pointed out she is Muslim and immigrant from Africa. Is anyone surprised that I am somehow deemed unworthy to speak about American foreign policy? Omar says her leadership and voice will not be diminished for not being on the foreign affairs committee for one term. My voice will get louder and stronger and my leadership will be celebrated around the world as it has been. Speaker McCarthy says there should be a code of conduct moving forward. Every single member of Congress has a responsibility to how they carry themselves. Democrats ousted two Republicans from committees two years ago. Ed Donahue, Washington.

Palestinians: Israeli troops kill 10 in West Bank violence
"Violence between Israelis and Palestinians as flared up again in the West Bank, leaving nearly a dozen people dead. Israeli forces conducted a raid at the jeanine refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, killing a number of Palestinians, some described as militants, but one was a 61 year old woman. This was the deadliest incident there in two decades and Israeli forces are on heightened alert as Palestinians prepare to bury the dead and filled the streets in protest to rockets were then fired from Gaza, the first such attack from the Hamas led territory since prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's return to power.

Erick Stakelbeck Shares His Thoughts on the Iran Nuclear Deal
"To us about the Iran nuclear deal because I mean, most people know that it was a nightmare that Obama, I mean, I have to say, if you don't know what to think and you're just looking at the optics as they say, it looks like the radical left in America is anti semitic, is anti Israel, at least anti Israel, and they seem to almost want to help the enemies of Israel. Maybe I'm wrong, but when I look at it, that's what it looks like to me. When you make a deal like president Obama made and you give a 150 $1 billion, it's astonishing. I can't even believe that's true. But it's like, you know, Trump said this is the worst deal in history. And he, to his amazing credit, undid that deal, ended it. And here we are now, two years into Biden and he is talking to the mullahs talking to he wants to put this back on saying, how can this be? I mean, what am I missing? Why would somebody want to go back to that? What do they think they're doing? Eric, there is no rhyme or reason to it. The only thing I can think of is that they want to take this off the list of problems. We don't want the Iran menace looming over us constantly. And if we just give them what we want, then they'll go away and they'll play nice. This echoes obviously Neville Chamberlain, Chamberlain, days of appeasement in the run up to World War II, the rise of Hitler. We have a gathering storm and clearly the leadership not only in the United States, but the west wants no parts of it. They just want it to go away, but it's not going to go away. And I have a hard time Eric figuring out what exactly the United States gets out of this Iran nuclear deal. As you mentioned, hundreds of billions of dollars into the hands of the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism, which by the way, has blood on its hands, American blood on its hands, not only that, Eric, when we talk about this deal, Iran's ballistic missile program, which is the largest in the entire Middle East, it's not even on the table. It's not even mentioned in that deal. And lastly, Iran's sponsorship for terror, Hamas, Hezbollah, around the region, also not even mentioned. By the way, last thing Eric, when we talk about those Iranian ballistic missiles, Iran right now is developing intercontinental or at least trying to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles ICBMs for short. They do exactly what their name says. They're designed to travel across continents across oceans. Those ICBMs are not for Israel, they're not even for Europe, therefore us, therefore

The Story Behind the Kushner Deals
"So I said to you, Iran Hezbollah and Hamas, of course, two of them, well know one of them, Hamas. Hamas is Palestinian, Hezbollah is theoretically Lebanese and Iran is Iran. So what percentage, I know there's no scientific answer, but meat in your estimation, which I respect, given this experience, what percentage of Palestinians would like Israel to disappear. Like that you run the government and B annihilated, not just disappear peacefully, be annihilated. Yeah, so I think I don't think it's very high. I think that what people want at this point is they want the opportunity to lead a better life and for their children to have opportunity. And one of the things we did again, I read about this in the book is we created a business plan for the West Bank and Gaza to basically show how you fix it, right? So it's basically 5 million people and take about 27 billion to double the GDP, decrease the poverty rate in half, create a million jobs, reduce unemployment rate at the single digits. Not that hard for what we did is we created a conference in Bahrain that was hosted by the king of Bahrain. We had Saudis, we had Emirates. We had businessmen from all over the world show up to say, we're willing to invest in the West Bank in Gaza and help these people, but our problem is not the Israeli government, our problem is the fact that there's no fair judiciary.

All right, just real quick. This guy, a guy by the name of Kyle scheidler. He says the FBI can not be saved. He was part of the organization. This guy is speaking from experience. So let me just quickly give you some of the bona fides if you'll just bear with me for a second. All right, his bona fides. He says we're on the time he was 7 years old. Until the age of 20, he was in love with the FBI. In second grade while other kids wanted to be firemen and wanted to he wanted to be a special agent and he said he could have told you what one was, what they did and what the requirements were to become one at the age of 7 guys in the early 90s. He said his favorite show was FBI, the untold stories. He said if he wasn't at home from cup sky from cup scouts in time for it to air, there was a tantrum that he would throw. He said he even did a book report on Jay Edgar Hoover on the J. Edgar Hoover biography in middle school. He talks about the Holy Land foundation. He says, his zeal had mellowed as he grew older, but never entirely disappeared as I began my career looking at counter terrorism policy. I'm meticulously studied the FBI's extensive investigation of the Holy Land foundation. That's the largest Islamic charity in the United States of America. And that was which was successfully convicted of financing the terror group Hamas.

"All our goals were achieved, said Israel's prime minister yair lapid, who claimed that the entire military command of Palestinian Islamic Jihad had been wiped out. The leader of BJ, ziad Al nahal, meanwhile, also claimed victory on pro Iranian TV. Conspicuously absent from the discussion was Hamas, the militants turned political party often involved in conflict in the region. And whoever claims gains in this latest round of violence, it's the people of Gaza, who have borne the losses. The backstory to this started on Monday of last week when the Israeli army arrested an Islamic Jihad commander in the occupied West Bank. Great carlstrom is a Middle East correspondent for The Economist. That led to several days of concerns in Israel about possible retaliation from Islamic Jihad in Gaza. They were restrictions imposed on Israeli residents who live near the border. That retaliation never happened, but on Friday, Israel assassinated an Islamic Jihad commander in Gaza, and that was enough to start more than two days of back and forth fire across the border. And how serious has this flare up then? Unfortunately, there are a lot of examples to compare it to in Gaza, of course, there have been four wars in the territory since 2008, and then a number of smaller shorter rounds of escalation as well. This one ranks on the smaller and shorter side, but still had deadly consequences. There were 44 people killed in Gaza, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Two of them were Islamic Jihad commanders, the original rationale for this is real saying it was a preemptive strike against the group. Also among the dead were 15 children, some as young as 5 years old, the Palestinians say they were killed by Israeli air strikes, whereas the Israeli army says they were killed by rockets fired from Gaza that malfunctioned and landed inside of the strip. On the Israeli side, there were about a thousand rockets and mortars fired in two days according to the army. Most of those either fell short and landed in Gaza, or were intercepted by Iron Dome by the Israeli missile defense system. And so there were no fatalities reported on the Israeli side. So this is primarily a conflict then with Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Tell me about that group. They are the number two militant group in Gaza. Of course, the territory has been controlled for 15 years by Hamas, which seized power in 2007 after winning a victory in Palestinian legislative elections. And they are the dominant force in Gaza Islamic Jihad plays second fiddle. Ostensibly there are a lot of similarities between these groups. They're both militant Islamist factions. They have their roots back in the 1980s. They were founded, of course, to fight Israel. But there are a number of differences as well, where Hamas is essentially the sovereign in Gaza has had to make a number of changes or compromises to its ideology over the years in order to preserve its grip on power. Islamic Jihad has not had to do that. It's outside of the governing system. It doesn't wield political power really in Gaza. It's extremely close to Iran and receives much of its funding from Iran. And in fact, the group's leader was in Tehran last week while all of this was happening in Gaza. And so while in theory these groups work together and they have what they say is a joint operations room where they coordinate military operations against Israel. In practice, they're often competitors in Gaza they compete for resources for support for men to join their military wings. And so with all that in mind, where is Hamas in all that it's normally Hamas that we hear about when conflict flares up? That was certainly the case last May when there was an 11 day war in Gaza, whether or not Hamas gets involved is usually the deciding factor in whether these rounds escalation only lasts for a couple of days or whether they become more protracted conflicts. But Hamas has the ruling party in Gaza has a number of considerations. One is sort of foreign policy. It has been working over the past few years. The build relations with Egypt with some of the Gulf states, and none of whom were particularly keen on seeing this escalate into a lengthy protracted war. And so there was pressure on the group from outside to sit out the fighting here. There was also some pressure from within. There's public opinion that it has to consider. And it's been barely a year since the last war, much of what was destroyed or damaged during that war has not been rebuilt. And so there is internal pressure on the group as well from the populace in Gaza, which does not want to see this escalate into another round of fighting. So it has various considerations that it has to take into account. And to some extent, it's probably not unhappy to see Islamic Jihad. Weakened a bit. The group differs quite often with Hamas on tactics and strategy. It can be a nuisance sometimes to the Hamas leadership because it is a bit more antagonistic or aggressive when it comes to starting rounds of fighting with Israel. And so Hamas chose to sit this one out and on some level probably not displeased with the outcome. So what does that tell you about Hamas? And its role as a political party more than a sort of ideological force. I think the main thing that tells you is that the group as the ruler in Gaza has to be a bit more pragmatic than it would have been 20 years ago when it was a militant group that didn't wield power. It has over the years made some rhetorical gestures in public towards the possibility of either what's called the hood a long-term truce with Israel, which would offer not formal recognition, not a permanent promise of peace, but a lengthy promise to stop fighting in return for using the blockade. It's also expressed some willingness in recent years. Towards a negotiated solution with Israel, the group's leadership has said if the Palestinian people were to agree on a two state solution using the pre 1967 borders, then we would go along with that. Now, there are certainly people in Israel and elsewhere who doubt its sincerity about these things. But there is a pragmatism that has grown in Hamas over the past 15 years when it comes to these sorts of ideological questions. And what about the view from Israel? What are the considerations there and how do you see this playing out? There are political considerations on their side as well, of course they're heading for an election in November, their 5th since 2019. The most recent one produced a very unwieldy broad based power sharing government that only lasted about a year it collapsed the spring. And so yair lapid, the centrist, who's now the caretaker prime minister, is facing a battle for election in November against Benjamin Netanyahu, the wants and perhaps future prime minister. What this means for lapid's political fortunes, I think perhaps a bit too early to say on the one hand, this was the first time he faced a security crisis as prime minister and he can certainly point to this and say we dealt with it. We ended it quickly and tried to use this as a political selling point in his favor. On the other hand, I don't think it fundamentally changes the reality of the race here, which is that it's a deeply divided electorate and this election will come down to a referendum on whether or not you want Netanyahu to come back as prime minister. So I think more likely than not, it doesn't really change a race that is focused on personalities and on economics more than security issues. And what about the view from people who live in Gaza, who go through these cycles of violence. For people in Gaza, of course, this really means nothing beyond more suffering after 15 years of siege, the economy has collapsed in Gaza, the infrastructure has collapsed. And this has become a problem that no one wants to fix Israel in Egypt. They're quite happy with the status quo. The Palestinian authority, which governs the West Bank, wants nothing to do with Gaza and Hamas doesn't want to make the sorts of compromises that might jeopardize its grip on power. So in the short term the ceasefire is likely to hold, no one has an interest in breaching it. But inevitably, as we've seen time and again for the past 15 years, it will not hold forever, and 2 million people living in Gaza will once again be held hostage

Recognize that the part of this is a game right. Yeah know yeah absolutely. I don't disagree with you on that. Yeah absolutely absolutely all right. Well jay. Let's just get one one was so so you're a big steelers fan right. I remember back. When i was in my late twenties and i began to notice the first signs of hair loss. It really surprised me indefinitely. Not in a good way. Almost nobody is hoping to go ball but the fact is that two out of three guys will experience. Some form of male pattern baldness by the time.

So if you're ready to take action and prevent hair loss go to keep dot com slash politics guys to receive your first month of treatment for free that's k. Eps dot com slash politics guys and and this is jay trying to trying to torpedo my ohio. Us senate campaign. Exactly yeah. That's going to do it right there. listen so in the past ben. Roethlisberger has been credibly accused of rape. If if you were at a steelers boosters party right and you're there and someone keeps keeps calling and demanding on you mike. How your president of the last Cincinnati steelers boosters club and people. Keep demanding of you. Mike is the president of club. We demand that you come out and were announced. Ben rothlisberger has a rapist. Well i would say you know he. He has a presumption of innocence and he has not been his not actually convicted rapist. So i get what you're saying. jason understand. the the is not not to to do anything. That really has anything to do with rothlisberger. The point to you. I don't i don't i get what you're saying and so i don i don't disagree with you. I just feel that the scope of what donald trump the wrongness that he injected into. This is just so great that you know and sure that sounds like it's very convenient for me as a democrat to say and it is. I'll admit that so Yeah yeah all right Let's just take one more quick break and then we'll be back and talking about another os just not at all contentious issue the possible end of roe versus wade who just in time for the twenty twenty two midterms as well okay. So are the story today. The supreme court announced this week that it would hear dobbs versus jackson women's health organization challenge to mississippi's law that would well with limited exceptions ban abortions after the fifteen th week of pregnancy now after mississippi passed this law and twenty eighteen jackson women's health organization. Which is the only licensed abortion provider industry challenge as you would expect against. The wall was a very straightforward violation of supreme court precedent of not allowing abortion bans of four fetal viability. Which usually it's right around twenty four weeks. Both the federal district and appeals court struck down the law. Now the issue that the supreme court will be ruling on his weather. All pre viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional and the case will be heard and twenty twenty one twenty two term which begins in october of this year and it's typical for major rulings to be announced at the end of the term which would be somewhat time around june or so of twenty twenty two. Which is you know pretty in the run up to the twenty twenty two midterm elections. So gee i thought. I want to get your sense of why you think the court might have taken this case and any sense of how you think it might rule or if we can tell at this point. Well they need for take it and i think he just got Amy coney barrett I i think that's that's part of it. You can also listen to the court. Hasn't taken a major abortion case in quite a while there have been these these here and there ones that that were typically went to some some extraneous Whether produce undue burden on the woman as opposed to going at the core of is a constitutional right or not And and so yeah. I think i think it's it's big That said i'm i'm still not sure you're going to get a complete overturn or you might get a roe versus wade overturned But but yet modified for example. I think there's a good argument to say that. Casey in fact know really overturn roe versus wade So i don't know. I'm always i'm always. I hate to hazard a guess again especially at this point where the court said it would take the case share last week. It's hard not. I think it's not going to get something into it right saying that. Well why this case which is such a clear violation. I mean it's the specifically or that and you got to feel that at least if they were if they just wanted to. Let the precedent stan. They would have not taken the case. But as you pointed out only takes four justices to decide to hear a case so that to me suggests that at least four justices are ready to make some modifications to that so the pre viability divinely and i think. I think you probably agree with me here. I think that's really important. Because if the court modifies in any way that kind of fetal viability line if you will what is the limiting principle and at what point then those states interest in preserving life or potential life become greater than a woman's right to control her own body. And i think at that point you really grasp at any kind of real limiting principle except for well life begins at conception and so therefore the states interest again. You see them saying here. Why i think i think. The limiting principle then is whatever. The state legislatures are going to create. Got it okay. Right which suggest there'd be nothing to say that you know the the court could rule you do not have a constitutional right to ability abortion Of course your state may provide it right so what you would be saying. There is that essentially that there is no constitutionally protected right or woman to terminate an.

"Is the point is not to find any new information. The point is to be able to call witnesses. Who who the republicans will have to object to so then point the finger for objecting so the more headlines so basically you're saying that both sides on this are acting entirely in bad taste and no one really gives a damn about actually finding out anything. Is that more or less. Yes yes okay. I i think i think people people no. I think people know what what happened now. Again there are. I think the gentleman questions about. Where was the national guard and and you know why not earlier and who called off whether it was trump whether it was dc all that but yeah ok okay okay let me let me. Let me flip. Flip the question on you. Suppose there was a an investigation of left wing. Violence and democrats said no. We're not gonna sign on. We're not gonna sign onto this. It'd be part of this commission. How how how would you feel. What would your response be. I my response would be obviously depend on. What sort of answer. We're talking specifically about the stuff. The best of may twenty fifth matter protests The continuing continually trying to burn down the courthouse in portland Pretty much every every other friday that that type of of Left wing violence. Hey if i were as said if i were in congress i would I certainly would be okay with with a with an investigation of that. i mean it was pretty widespread. There was it was a huge thing. And i don't see any problem with it. I just say shouldn't be my first witness. I like to call is congressman Maxine waters true. Absolutely not well you might allow it. But i don't think. I don't think i don't think The actual participants would. Well let me ask you this. I guess i'm saying you're saying there's there's no one who i i'm saying and i think you believe this that i am approaching this with good faith and they're saying that there is literally no one in congress on either side who has approaching this with any good faith at all. I'm not gonna go out and say there's literally no in congress as appropriate in good faith. But i think both sides recognize this is a a political game and it is is much more aimed at generating headlines and politics in the run-up to off your elections than it is a guiding any actual new information. Okay that's you know i. I don't actually think our art is. Maybe i initially thought we were. I think it's just a you know you're you tend to be i think Much more on the cynical side. And i'm a bit more idealistic on these things. But but yeah i. I certainly can't disagree with that. Anyone who says that. That's not a major element of this remote scientists. I think in incredibly naive. So i think where we differ is the extent to which this could be useful for anything aside from those political purposes. And i think. I see having more use if if nothing else to just by. This would be bad for republicans into short run but i think better for them in the long run anything we can do to point out to the american public. His bipartisan away as possible. What a complete disaster of president. Donald trump wants and how kids sort of authoritarian anti-conservative anti-democratic politics should never be the model or republican party. Going forward. I think that's a good thing but there's always the question of will you renounce donald trump and all his works Right and they always this. You have to say it renounce him announcing and you don't you don't get that coming on the right but i don't understand exactly what the were the differences are in of why that sends to be a thing of the public renouncement but that's it's because donald trump i mean donald trump explicitly call. A you know he he's light. I think you agree in a way about the legitimacy of the twenty twenty election and indirectly. Yeah so that's why. He needs to be renounced in a way that no other politician american politician northern american president before him ever needed to be renounced. Not just for the sake. I would argue of the democratic party or the republican party. But for the sake of democracy in america bill bill. He lied to a federal court. Right were announced bill clinton and all his works. There are different. They're different categories of lie. And i think that what one was under oath to a federal judge. That's not the different talking about. And i think you know that as well the difference is that donald. Trump's repeated lies struck at the very heart of a democracy in a way. That bill clinton's didn't i agreed to now agreed. I certainly denounced bill. Clinton bill clinton's lies i. I'll denounce any president slides but there are different. There are different weights. There are different consequences of different lies and this lie think strikes repeated big lie of donald trump that we see the repercussions of now in arizona and other places with these crazy audit ninja people. And all that that that is going to have ramifications at has ramifications or no. God knows how long that strikes again at the heart of this democracy. That's a lot different than saying. Well i didn't have sex with that woman which a not good but a whole different thing you you miss miss my point. I'm saying i agree with you. One hundred percent that that what trump has done. He is indirectly responsible. I by the to the big lie again. Assuming the big lock as we talked about this to some extent. I think there's there's good reason to the believe that trump just delusional when he actually believes he won the election by a landslide. I think that's that's how i read. The transcript of the georgia call But regardless i when when do when people to stop renouncing when will this let me maybe this way because here we are at the end of may and who are we still talking about. Donald trump is still driving the agenda. The republican party. Well kevin barbie. I guess the most powerful the most prominent republican in the country and he will be for years to come so yes absolutely. He needs to be denounced. He needs to be chained announced he needs to be dragged through every kind of legitimate mud that he possibly can be to make to make anyone who even thinks about going down the same anti-democratic path that he attempted to go down to make sure that that is not a possibility going forward. That's why this is so critically important to do. You think it. It helps or hurts the it would help if some republicans got on board. That's for sure if it doesn't help. Yep it's all democrat. Sure no not at all. Yeah so that's why. I have a problem with the with the revived i understand. Let me let me be clear. I understand the republican dilemma. Here because what. I am in effect asking. Republicans to do is to say you know what we. I need you to destroy part of your base and short-term to save your party and democracy into long-term and a lot of people i mean every republican officeholder is a short-term especially in the house by definition person. They're saying well that's not a deal. I'm interested in taking. I so i i get it. I get the political calculation..

"Shouldn't we want to know. What kevin mccarthy what his role was and i. Shouldn't we want your some of these people. I mean i sure think it would be helpful to know what donald trump new and went. He knew it and how he acts hitting get people on the record before this committee saying what exactly the former president's response was and what you'll mccarthy was saying. Isn't this valuable information. Don't doesn't the public have a right to know this. Well i if if so i mean maybe but. I'm not sure why you signed onto the commission. I mean again. If there's any intrepid reporters out there they can pick up the phone and call these people in china. no well. they're they're you know something i mean. That's that's the thing. There's a big difference. I'm sure you would agree between an intrepid reporter from any organization calling and getting the brush off and actually being subpoenaed by is special committee. Yeah and you and the the the again you'll get more into the attempted you know perjury traps that sort of thing and we've already injury drawers. Somebody's called testifying. they lie. I mean you can call it. A no approach trap is. Let's let's think back to like the scooter libby. Tim tim russert situation right. Were he said one thing under oath. And then you had hearsay evidence that a reporter who was then dead so that he had said something different. And that's the that's the perjury trap. Right somebody says look. I heard him say something different. That's i i me. It's i get while you're doing it. And i get weather. Republicans would not want to play along with this. I i guess to me the problem. The problem that i'm having is there were an awful lot of republicans who of ury an evening mark. You're saying yeah. We definitely should have this commission. As long as it's even between democrats and republicans and democrats called their bluff and said okay. We'll make it even between democrats and republicans and and now also the biggest thing i guess that's credible that i hear that's not just playing politics with this. Is the argument that well. This is too narrow. It should have been expanded to include investigation of left left wing violence last summer in portland another place. I say these are two different issues. But fair. enough okay. There was a lot of anti-government violence and protests. That were caused a lot in property damage and deaths. Until so yeah. Let's investigate that. We don't want to conflate these two things. And and i would if i were certainly in congress i would agree to a separate investigation on on that but it seems to me that republicans basically this is just my sense. Is that back in february. They felt like they had to agree to something. Like this with no intention of ever going through with it because well. I think the main reason for mccartney while he basically cut off kako at the knees was because he wants to be speaker. Come january twenty twenty three and. i think. There's a really good chance of that happening. If i were a betting person i am. I would bet on that but he knows that without sort of the trump is vote and support. That's not gonna happen. And so that's why he did what he did. Well what do you think that. Do you think why something else i would imagine. Is that rules would allow the democratic chairman to being control of staff committee and also could demand unilaterally information from federal agencies without a subpoena So there is there. Is that tilts scales. But look i'd i'd be willing to say okay. Yeah they have the majority so so they're going to They're going to have more power on this But do you think that. The commission's purpose is to really get at what happened on january six. Or do you think it is to Embarrassed and go after once more. Donald trump both and. I think that's true of almost anything that happens in congress is there's always a political motive but you know the fact of the matter is you and i both saw the pictures. We saw plenty of people running through the capital with congress barricaded in their running through run through the capital with trump signs and trump banners and hats and all that and sure it's going to embarrass trump because donald trump indirectly. I don't i don't believe that he directly incited this but certainly he was the cause the indirect cause of this more than any other individual. Will that be embarrassing. Yeah and it should be embarrassing because it was one is just about the most disgraceful political act. I can think of in in my lifetime. So yeah i think he should be embarrassed course. He's passed embarrassment. Yeah right but what do you think that what what will the. What information do you think's gonna come out though. Well you know. I don't know that's why we have. That's why we have hearings. You could say the same thing. I don't know we also have criminal investigations going on. That's very different. Aren't some arrests and people waiting prosecution. But that's a different thing. That's very focused on specific acts of individuals. That's a very different thing. I mean you know. And and yes. I know this is all very political. Because you know punt there are plenty of republicans in congress who want who would have had one hundred investigations of benghazi and over sudden. Now you know. Just kinda just turning their heads with a with an actual insurrection at the capitol and so that that to me is well. That's just politics sure. But you know the role of battle. Guess here's here's the difference. Here's my one hundred. Something like benghazi is benghazi. There was there was sort of a mystery there right. How'd this happen. Because we were told one thing by the administration that it was always just. Because there's there's video with. We learned that there were other things going on. There are also questions about why troops weren't saying into the support. The embassy at benghazi here. What's what's the mystery question and the answer. You just mentioned there was a mystery of why troops warrants in one big mystery about the capital issue is exactly when donald trump knew what was going on and how he reacted and what he called for and there. There seems to be a certain amount of evidence suggesting that this happened. And he was kinda just sorta gleefully watching it on fox news and actually egging some of these people on when the capital was being literally invaded. And that doesn't turn if that doesn't turn any real patriotic american stomach. I think there's something wrong with that person. It does but okay so. To what extent does it I mean i. I think the when why weren't reinforcement sent in the national guard called earlier. I think those are important. Questions to look at. And congress has already taken testimony on that. And but i guess you sort of hit on the point of what what was donald trump doing You know. I think that's pretty clear right i. I wouldn't dispute anyone. Who says he was just sitting. There watching people cheered on. And and i think that is disgraceful. But the the the plan is just replay it again and i get. It's a political move and the republicans are responding with a with a political move and the idea. Is i guess maybe the best way to to to explain this. If you have a supposedly bipartisan commission. The idea is that there is there is some modicum of legitimacy and fairness built into that as opposed to just a regular Investigation by a house committee or a senate committee right and i think republicans don't want to play into that Because they think they're not going to actually. It's going to be the same as if it was just a regular house committee or senate committee investigation and they're just not gonna play along so accept it. Well let let's be clear except it wouldn't because in a regular an investigation. Democrats have the majority's outsold power to subpoena or to allow or disallow the other side of the call visit but again my point.

"Pot boys from the Obama years originally acknowledged that AP New Hamas was, then it's building. Do you know if a P knew Peter No, I don't. But I know the people who work for 80 there and I trust implicitly. I think they're top notch journalists and whatever they would tell me, I would put a lot of faith. And would you occupy a building that had Hamas offices in it? Not for for your personal safety, but just as a moral issue. Well, I mean, you know what guys? There's a place where you know Hamas is in control of the whole place. You know, I mean, it's like, I don't know what your options are that plan. You don't have a lot of freedom to move around in in Gaza that it's not. It's not a place where you have a lot of flexibility that journalist I only visit one time. But it was very clear to me that your your ability report in Gaza. It is a real challenge. They don't They do not make it hard. They don't make it easy time I was there. They had banned The New York Times from Reporting out of Gaza. They didn't like our coverage. So I was there to go into the talk of the Hamas leadership to try to get our ability to report from there, you know, back on track. I wasn't successful, and I think that you know it's a really hard place. And I wouldn't I would. I would be very, very Support of journalists who are doing the hard job there right would ask their bosses another long conversation. I don't think American journalist should be in a terrorist state and when, in fact The pressure from the organization and they'll kill people. They'll just kill people that and they put them a shield. I don't think we ought to operate there. And if you have to sort of filter in the news, you have to filter the news. But the pressure on them. There's a little Stockholm syndrome that's going to go on anywhere. Peter Baker Well, I think we should be everywhere. I think I think that's our job was reported. We were in Afghanistan. I reported from inside of Saddam Hussein's Iraq. I think that it's important to report I went to Chechnya.

I think that's important. Well, we'll disagree. Let me go back to the White House. This White House has stood by Israel fairly firmly there lots of leaks that maybe they're not. But the Democratic Party on the hill is far to the left of the fighting. White House. Well, the Biden White House shift in your opinion. Do you hear murmurs that they're going to increase the pressure on Netanyahu to stop degrading the Hamas terrorist organization? Well, I think you're already seeing that a little bit mean a zoo You say, you know, in hearing Michael Orange Voice hard and I think you're hearing by his voice hardened somewhat in the last few days yesterday, he used the word today. He expected there to be de escalation today. That's you know, studying. Time element we hadn't done before. I think he didn't You know, he's a continuous, so use That phrase is well has the right to defend itself. But same time hey, is using the What now your friend was a C word ceasefire. More frequently it Z on biding his juggling a tough domestic political situation. No question about it the pole that morning consul and political put out he actually was really fascinating. Show the basically pretty solid, uh, the public side support for Israel. Not much sympathy for the Palestinians there among Democrats, much more divided, you know, most the biggest largest group Of people who'd identified Democrats that they were so in fact, both sides that was about 36%. I think something like that. 18% say they're more suicides of Palestinian 12%. So they're more democratic Israelis, so within the Democratic Party has gotten more complicated..
