Trump Gives a Surprising Solution to Ending Conflict in Gaza

Trump Gives a Surprising Solution to Ending Conflict in Gaza

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you don't have to be driving fast, don't if
you don't have to, like a keep in mind, maybe
a bit interesting stopping, slowing down and stopping when you
get to intersections. And we're under this advisory until six
but that's not any indication as to how long. Maybe
the roads could be a bit treacherous. That could extend
well into the evening.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Am I right.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Winter weather advisory goes until six pm this evening, and
the chance of freezing rain is in the forecast says
mainly before five pm, So we are kind of in
that zone here where the chances of freezing rain are
dropping as we get closer to five pm. But that
winter weather advisory lasts until six pm, and look out

(00:41):
for patchy fog this evening as well. Expect patchy fog
before eight pm that could also impact.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Your commute home. M That makes sense.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
We'll keep you updated and of course our traffic will
be continuing to be posted and you will be able
to hear that as well as we learn as much
as we can about how things are going. So yeah,
I I don't know. It's we've had so little winter
weather events during this season that part of me is

(01:12):
just kind of like, of course the ones that do
come are going to be ones that make it very
difficult to travel and drive, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
So it's just like.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
This is one of those where I wish I was
maybe like a twenty eight percent meteorologist instead of a
ten percent because I'd say, it's twenty six degrees not
long ago it was like twenty four degrees here in Omaha, right,
But yet we're talking about light freezing drizzle that's freezing
on impact based. It's freezing on impact. So it's we've
had snow before that's fallen as snow with this degree

(01:46):
is out Like, what's the difference here? Is it hotter
up to where the clouds are and then they're just
getting colder down here like some sort of pressure system.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Well? What created the bigger issue that one December Friday,
Remember when it was just insane how slick everything was.
You see all the videos of people just sliding all
over the place. That it was even warmer it was
like thirty thirty one. But that was what my understanding
was was the ground, the surface on the ground was
already wet and had frozen based on what the temperature

(02:13):
had been that day, but it was just warm enough
for the heavier rain, because it was raining heavier then
than it is now, and it was warm enough in
the atmosphere to where it wasn't going to be snow,
and it basically became ice as soon as it hit
the layer of ice that was already there, which made
an even thicker, you know, chunk of ice that was
sitting on top of the roadways in our sidewalks. And

(02:35):
because it was raining for a day or so leading
up to that event, it wasn't as easy as just
going and treating the roads ahead of time. There was
no way to do that because it was going to
be ineffective because the roads were already getting rained on.
So I don't know, it was just a cavalcade of
things that made it so, if you will, And that
to me is, you know, what do you do in

(02:57):
this situation? Is there an easy way to to approach this?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
You know? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
The easiest way is just to be super duper careful
if you have to be out and about, and if
you don't have to be out and about, you maybe
don't you know, I don't know that's how I feel anyway?

Speaker 2 (03:12):
How about this? I got this Gaza story.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Donald Trump yesterday suggested that he would put together a proposal,
a proposal essentially that the United States would take over
the Gaza Strip and this would give Palestinians an opportunity,
in his words, to live out their lives in peace
and harmony. The quote is, the US will take over
the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with

(03:39):
it too. We will own it and be responsible for
dismantling all of the dangerous, unexplored bombs and other weapons
on the site. Level the site and get rid of
the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development
that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for
the people in the area. Do a real job, do
something different. Just can't go back. If you go back,

(04:00):
it's going to end up the same way it has
for one hundred years end quote. And of course that is,
of course what the fear is.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Let's just say we agree on a ceasefire and we
leave things the way that they are. Then what happens
in what twenty years? There's another, you know, massive attempt
to try to destroy Israel from Arab nations nearby, led
by terrorists who are existent in nearby places like Gaza
or Lebanon. You know, it doesn't seem like we're really

(04:28):
solving a problem there, does it? Like, yeah, we're ending
a war, but that doesn't mean that we're really resolving
the situation to prevent future wars. But I don't know
how involved the United States needs to be. And Saudi
Arabia who Donald Trump. Before he was leaving office in
twenty twenty and into twenty one, there was some thought
that Saudi Arabia would sign this agreement to help protect Israel,

(04:50):
or there'd be some agreement about how Israel would kind
of factor into the area. But it sounds like that's
not going to happen. They would say, like they're kind
of thought, is there can't really be a good way
for this to work out unless there's a separate Palestinian state,
and Israel doesn't want that. And the reason they don't
want that is because they lose control over that area

(05:11):
in a way that all of a sudden makes it
maybe even more dangerous for them, because if there is
any kind of uprising of terrorism. Even though the Hamas
situation kind of developed underneath their nose and they were
taken by a pretty big surprise on October seventh, twenty
twenty three, they would have even less intelligence as to

(05:32):
what exactly is happening over there. And you're seeing some
of the Hesbolah concerns because the Israeli military isn't getting
out of there fast enough. So how do you kind
of maintain this level of intelligence while not having a
real presence there? And that's what I think Donald Trump
is saying. Maybe we just need the big bad United

(05:54):
States to come in there operate this and we can govern.
We can let the Palestinians either find a new home
or they can live with us, and we can create
jobs for them and make this instead of a real
dangerous situation for Israel, we could make it. What did
he say, something like like it would be like a

(06:14):
resort or something like the riviera of the Middle East.
I think he said it was you buying this? Could
you make this area with that kind of investment in
leadership from the US into kind of like a tourist
hot bed all of a sudden for people in the region,
And instead of worrying about the fighting between Palestinians and

(06:34):
their leadership and maybe even terrorist organizations against Israel, now
all of a sudden, this area protected and governed by
the United States and our allies apparently turns into like
this big tourist situation that creates jobs and also a
lot of I don't know, good vibes for the area,
for the region. I mean, the Middle East doesn't really
have anything like that from you know, a standpoint of

(06:58):
you know, when you think Middle East, I don't think
anybody say, oh, yeah, I want to go to Doha
and just like have a heck of a vacation. Not
to say that Doha isn't good. You know, you heard
a lot of weird things that were happening in guitar
during the World Cup few years back when the World
FIFA World Cup was going on, a lot of people
were talking about different things that were happening there.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
And then of course Ran Paul, who we know to
be pretty level headed in a guy who just generally
likes to you know, he will speak his mind, but
he also isn't beholden to any one, you know, line
of thinking on any one specific topic. He has suggested
that this kind of goes against the whole America first thing,

(07:39):
like why are we putting eyeballs and bodies and dollars
into this. Isn't that kind of the opposite of the
things that we were talking about doing? Paul put on
his X account, the pursuit of for peace should be
that of the Israelis and the Palestinians. I thought we
voted for America first. We have no business contemplating yet
another occupation to do my treasure and spill our soldier's blood.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
End quote. Now, again, there's.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
A certain level of understanding that you could make from
that declaration from Ran Paul saying you think that people
in that region are just gonna let you have it,
You think you're not gonna have to like win that somehow,
And then like, how is this different than what we
were trying to build in Iraq? How's this different than
what was going on in Afghanistan? That kind of stuff,

(08:26):
Like what are we setting ourselves up for exactly here
or are we just talking kind of out loud, thinking
out loud next to Benjamin Nett and Yahoo at the
White House yesterday. So I don't know if you got
thoughts on this, what's the realistic nature of this? Would
you be okay with Donald Trump exploring the idea of
you know, kind of occupying Gaza and kind of rebuilding
it in of you know, democratic way. I suppose in

(08:49):
bringing it to be the rivi era of the Middle East.
I'd love to hear from you. You can call in it.
Four h two five five eight eleven ten. Four h
two five five eight eleven ten. As Donald Trump suggests
that the Gaza Strip, Yeah, let's turn it into a
tourist boon. Okay, we'll talk to you next on news
radio eleven ten. Can't they by Emeric sung the Gaza

(09:11):
Strip into the ready air of the Middle East. Yeah,
let's let the US control this. This is gonna be great.
Is this a good idea that some Republicans are saying?
Is this really the America First agenda we voted for. Well,
I want you to call in and tell me about it.
Joe's on our phone on a four h two five
five eight to eleven ten. Welcome Joe. What's on your
mind on this?

Speaker 4 (09:33):
You're breaking your own rule?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Man, who means a two days ago?

Speaker 4 (09:36):
I heard you say whatever Trump says. You have to
let it marinate for a while to find out if
it's a negotiating ploy or if it's actually gonna be
some kind of policy he puts through.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's a good point. That's a good point.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
Probably is a negotiating ployee post turtle.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, and it makes sense to me to be honest
with you, now that you mentioned is like h on
the surface, we could say, okay, it could be this,
it could be that, maybe this does go against its thing.
But you're one right, let's uh, let's go ahead and
see what the response is or really what anybody in
the Middle East says. Maybe they say, maybe this makes
a lot of sense for us, So what will it

(10:15):
take something like that? So I appreciate that, Joe, thanks
for calling in.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
He's right.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Maybe maybe we just need to take a step back
and relax. We got Donald on the phone line of
four O two five five, eight eleven ten, Donald.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Well, I'm not too happy about this. Who's gonna pay
for it?

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
And when the military goes in there, who's going to
be the first one's in there?

Speaker 6 (10:42):
Baron? And you two? You're going to volunteer to go
in there and be two's all in bonds?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
No.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
I think I'll sit here. I think I'll keep sitting here.

Speaker 6 (10:54):
Yeah, all right, that's what I figured. But thank you.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Sorry, Donald, I wish I had a better answer for you,
But you're right. I mean, like, what are we talking
about with the I'm not going to volunteer? I mean,
like this is what to make gods of the Riviera?
If that's something that he really wants to do, I
don't know. And who's going to pay for it? I mean,
you would think that it had to be some sort

(11:18):
of conglomeration of our tax dollars. You also have to
kind of come to the understanding if that's going to happen,
like how much are we operating it with? Is this
some sort of imperialistic idea that we're just going to
be there forever? And if that's the case, are we
making that money or are we actually investing it into
that region, which you would think would be, you know,

(11:39):
the more the right thing to do, if you will.
And then you have to like, wigh, does this actually
answer the question of can there be peace in the
region moving forward? Maybe it can, Maybe this is what
it would take.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Steven's on a phone line of four h two five, five,
eight eleven ten. Welcome to the show, Steven, What's going
on today?

Speaker 5 (11:58):
Hey, so here's my sun sense worth for it is worth?

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
I think everybody, and I mean media, everybody is taking
it out of context. And now what I mean by
that is I realized this is what he said, and
we as a society take public figures and put him
on a pestal and more. He said this or she
said that, So it's fact. But in my opinion, I

(12:22):
think what he met was in the big grand scheme
of things, Let's make this a better place to live,
not the Riviera. Does that make any sense?

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I mean he said that the Riviera. I mean he
said that, but I mean, like I'm taking him literally
for his word. But I hear what you're saying as well.
Just make it a more livable, more first world country
situation there, and maybe that could result in a little
bit more prosperity for the people who live there and
in turn creating more peace in the region.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
The ability. Yes, and on our side note, if you
think about it, the movie star already has.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, And I was going to say, if you just
go a little bit to the east of where that is,
I mean, there's.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
A goodbye and that's the Las Vegas of the mid East.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, I mean it's a crazy city too.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
I mean that is that is definitely a city that
a lot of people like to, you know, experience at
least once because of how forward thinking it is.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's for sure. I appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
We don't have time to get into this, but why
can't the rest of the midiese do it? Bay is
doing a whole other topic.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, yeah, I think it has a lot to do
with religion more than anything else. But you're right, I mean,
it doesn't even look like the other cities around it.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
It's crazy.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
Hey, have a great weekend, guys.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Thanks Thanks Steven. We appreciate you for being a part
of the show today. Let's go ahead and get to
Doug real quick. Doug, welcome to the show. What's on
your mind?

Speaker 6 (13:46):
Hey, good Bud talking about the Godza Strip deal. I
think there's just a little bit of other things going
on in this deal. I mean, I think what he's
talking about is he wants to pretty much eliminate Hamas.

(14:06):
I mean they have to get rid of them. Yeah,
because if they don't, the Palestandier's move back. I mean,
it's a disaster over there anyway.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Right, we'll be in the same yeah, we'll be in
the same spot twenty years from now that we.

Speaker 6 (14:19):
Are right now, exactly exactly. So you're cleaning them up,
you relocate them. If they want to move back, that's fine.
You got to get rid of Omas and you know,
just take them out.

Speaker 5 (14:32):
And that's what I.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
Think he's doing.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, And I don't disagree with that. I just think
that you know, how much money of America's is what's
going in here just to kind of set up a
first world satile economy for the gys, for the people
in Gaza. And I don't disagree that. I think there's
a lot of Palestinians that might be welcoming to the
idea of hey, giving us like a head start to

(14:57):
being a first world type area and then their relationship
maybe with Israel improves. I just I'm not sure how
long that process is going to take. And if you know,
the Hezbalahs or their Iranians or any other proxy group
is just going to let that happen in that spot,
you know what I mean, that might be a little
bit more of a struggle than just Hey, I'm signing
a piece of paper and we're going.

Speaker 6 (15:18):
To do it exactly exactly so all right, be saved, buddy.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah, thanks Doug, you too. And this goes back to
Joe called in earlier. Maybe we just need some days
to let this marinate and understand exactly what he's up to.
Because get given the tariffs a few days that ended
up being good news for us. Maybe you give this
a few days, maybe we can understand exactly if this
brings anybody to the table for negotiations, because it's a
good point. Four thirty is a time. More on the
way on news radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
And Marie's songer on news radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
The Bucks traded Chris Middleton to the Wizards. You see that,
Okay for Kyle Kuzma. I don't really Nile Kuzma.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
He's younger.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yes, I forgot he was on the Wizards, but he's
been doing some good things out there with the Wizards.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah, but it's the Wizards.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
I like that for the Bucks. If I if I
was the Bucks, I'd be happy. Uh yeah, we'll see.
They're trying to be title contenders again. The King's got
uh Gionis valanciunis okay for a pick and a random guy,
but who did they get who did they get originally
for they traded them to the Spurs. I'm blanking on
his name. Darren Fox went to the Spurs. Yeah, and
they got Zach Levine from the Bulls.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Eh he was running point? Is Levine a Elik monk Oh?

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Is he full time point?

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Now?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
It probably is. I mean he was on the bench
before that. You know, they have to be kicking themselves.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Oh maybe not.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
They have Demontas Sabonis. They had a Tyre's Halliburton before that.
I was thinking, you know, they traded Haliburton because they
thought Fox could be their point guard or their guard,
big star guard. But Sibonas has been so good for
them that it's kind of like, yeah, you know, both
teams kind of felt good about that, you know, from Indiana.
And then the Warriors are trying to trade for Kevin
Durant and he said not interested, doesn't want to go back,

(17:02):
doesn't want to go back, kind of ended on like
negative terms. So Brian Windhorse says he would be surprised
if he's on any other team besides the Suns or
the Miami Heat, which makes you think that maybe Jimmy
Butler wants to stay on the Heat. All of a sudden,
and then Durant comes in place for them. I don't
know how they'd make that deal. Do they trade like
a Tyler Hero or something, to the to the heat

(17:24):
for that or to the Suns for that.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
I wouldn't need that though Tyler Hero next to Booker.
I mean, that doesn't seem like a works.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
None of this stuff ever seems to work right, Although
Kevin Durant, according to multiple reports, were getting recently that
there's a scoop out there that says that Kevin Durant
and Kyrie Ivering would like to play together again. Remember
they were on the Brooklyn Nets together. So I thought
that didn't end well. Yeah, but it didn't end well.
Not because of them, It just like Kyrie didn't want

(17:54):
to be in Brooklyn anymore. And when he wanted out,
Katie was like, get me out of here too. This
hit the Mavericks swing a trade to get Durant. Do
they have any assets to do that? Could you imagine Davis, Durant,
and Irving, all these people getting upset about the Luca
trade and all of a sudden, for the next couple
of years, it's those three I don't know a ton
about the Mavericks roster, but what I know I would

(18:16):
be shocked if they had the.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Assets to pull that off. Me too.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
You'd probably have to trade the kid that Max Christie
they just got. He'd have to go because he seems
like a good asset at twenty one years old.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's crazy. It's crazy times that we're living it. I
tell you what we were talking about the news and
about what Donald Trump has played for Gaza. Well, this
is also on the heels of Donald Trump talking about
putting massive pressure, increasingly high pressure on Iran and him
even saying out loud, if they have me assassinated, which

(18:47):
again there's those rumors out that you know, they have
proxies even in North America who could be trying to
take Donald Trump out. And he says if there is
an assassination on him, and he gets assassinated by Iran
and they can figureigure that out, they will be obliterated.
I mean obliterated, not ebliterated, but uh oh, obliterated about
ibliterated That doesn't sound right. I was just trying a

(19:09):
different vowel. That doesn't sound right. He basically got their attention. However,
because Foreign Minister abbas Aargaschi a lot of consonants all
together there, it makes it difficult to really know how
to say these things. But that's the Foreign Minister of Iran,
he said yesterday. If the main issue is ensuring that
Iran does not pursue nuclear weapons, this is achievable and

(19:31):
not a difficult matter. Maximum pressure is a failed experiment
and trying it again will only lead to another failure.
So he doesn't want to put it out pressure. But
if the main issue is that we don't pursue nuclear weapons, okay,
well let's talk about this and seeing that sounds reasonable,
I suppose. I don't know if they'll do what we
tell them to do. Like what if you were the

(19:52):
bad guy and I was the good guy and I
came up to you and said, hey, stop doing bad
guy stuff. You could tell me to my face, Oh yeah,
no problem, I'll take care of that, and then you
just go back into your layer do bad guy stuff.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
No, bad guy thinks they're the bad guy. I think
I'm a good guy. I just think i'm misunderstood. That's
not true. You know what you're doing is wrong. The
unjustifies the means. That's what I'm sitting here saying, Well,
what's the means? The means is I get what I want,
and that's what's best for the world, not get out
of my way.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Oh is that right? That's right, it's best for your world.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
But if you're developing weapons that are going to have
the ability to destroy a place like Israel or have
missile targets on your enemies and potentially start either a
regional or an all out world war, I'm going to
go ahead and say that's probably not what's best for
the world.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
I gotta care about my people. I can't take care
of the whole world. I gotta care about my people.
What about my people? My people haven't got nothing from
this world. Yeah, time for us, it's our time. Yeah,
you want to know why, Because you're a terrible leader.
Your people are looking at you to be a good leader,
and instead you keep them in the dark ages while you, you know,
tell the women to wear he jobs and they can't dry.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Don't say that too loud. They don't know that they
think I'm great. I don't think they all think you're great.
I don't know exactly who doesn't think I'm great? Who
doesn't think I'm good, don't pay them a busy I
don't have names, not gonna out anybody, No, I just says,
you think about it, You're just kind of like, I
don't know how happy these people are. But you know

(21:11):
it's not my place. Who am I to tell them
what they should like or not like. But as soon
as you have like a weapon that could essentially create
mass destruction, I got to be honest with you, I'm
going to take some issue with that. If I can't
trust you, and I've been giving no reason to trust
anything that Aaron is doing, especially within proxying all of

(21:33):
these terrorist groups in the region and trying to take
out Israel. So if I'm in the United States and
I say, look, if you're trying to take me out
because you're afraid of me, you're going to be obliterate.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
That's the word he use.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
And if you're trying to achieve some sort of nuclear weapon,
well guess what, We're coming after you too and putting
maximum economic pressure on you. And we talked about this, right,
you can hit them in a pocket where it hurts
if you're able to do it with the rest of
the world. I don't know if that helps anything. I
don't know if that makes them want to negotiate, but
I can tell you that it's got their attention at
least because they're responding to this. And if they straight

(22:05):
up say, look, we can stop with this nuclear weapon.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Let's just talk.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
But you putting maximum pressure on us, what is that
supposed to me? Let's just get to the table and
talk about this, because I'm not going to just take
your word that you're not going to build a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Period. It's hard to debate with you when I'm in
a half Nelson.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
It's hard to debate with you when I put your
face in the dirt exactly and tell you that if
you don't listen to everything that I say, the stuff
that you make a lot of money on, I'm going
to basically make it unbiable for people in the Western hemisphere.
It reminds me of like when my dentist tries to
have a conversation with me and he's got, you know,
seven fingers in my mouth, like I can't talk. I'm sorry,

(22:41):
I can't tell I can't answer that question until you're
done with what you're doing. That a thing you have
to worry about what's happened before? Yeah, and it seems
like some social awkwardness it was, or maybe he just
gets a kick out of that.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, that's what I wondered, Like asking me a deep
clearly not a yes or no question.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Right, Like I can't.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
I'm sorry, I can't answer you, Bob, you got your
hands in my mouth.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Don't clip that.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Context matters, Yeah, yeah, don't don't take that out of context.
