to Israel, like this 20 point plan.
He's agreed to kind of an alteration of that plan with Hamas and with Arab countries.
And so I just think it's important to reflect structurally what's taking place because again, Donald Trump rolled into the Middle East today.
He spoke in front of the Knesset in Israel.
Then he went to Egypt and he made it like a birthday party for himself, like a celebration.
He made all the world leaders show up and basically say how great he is.
Then he gave this long rambling speech and corporate news bought into the Trump narrative, hook, line and sinker, when the narrative should be focused on the region.
This is a good day for the region, but it's a good day and it's a ceasefire.
And I think we have to have responsible conversations about what is to come.
And I think so much of the Trump error has been or the error in the Trump error by the media, which I think is intentional, is this congratulatory, this buying into the narrative without us observing what's going to happen now.
if you don't agree to a free palestine if you don't agree to a two-state solution what are we what are we really talking about and when do the hostilities resume and how do we prevent those hostilities from resuming so i think that's an important point that i want to say from the outset let me pause there because i'm going to show clips but that's my two cents of how i think we have to report on this responsibly yes good day very good day that should be bipartisan
But we also have to be responsible in recognizing, wait a minute, Trump's not talking about a two-state solution.
Hamas is saying they're not going to disarm.
Israel's saying they're going to blow up the tunnel.
What has happened?
No, I think that's a totally fair point, Ben.
And what I try to do with any situation, in anything, I think it keeps me honest, it keeps me fair, is I think if what's happening right now happened under the Biden administration, how would I be feeling?
If I woke up in a coma and I heard this news, what would my reaction be?
And my reaction would be one of happiness, one of this is a great day, a great news.
