You know, we've long speculated how exactly Israel gets to exert its will over our government so much.
But we don't really know what the answer to that is.
And man, that's really being tested right now.
Like if, you know, it's almost like we're watching this movie and we've got some ideas about what the plot's going to end up being.
But if we just go based off of what we know, you are looking at this and going like, well, like,
American public opinion on Israel has shifted like 50 points over the last few years.
Our president's now trying to get out of this conflict.
Does he get back into another conflict that's crazy unpopular solely for this foreign country?
I don't know, Rob, I guess what I'm saying is that we're really going to test the limits of what amount of control they have, because even with a lot of control, you'd think they might push it to a limit where someone just goes.
And if ever they were pushed to a limit, like it seems like this would be it.
This would be the moment where you'd go, no, I'm sorry.
Even if you got me, you know, whatever on camera doing the worst thing you could think of, like whatever, show it.
You know, not saying that's the case.
But, you know, you could just imagine how if even if someone had blackmail on you, there might be a limit to which they could push that.
Whatever control Israel has over the Trump administration.
Man, if he's going all in on trying to get out of this thing, Rob, it's it's got to be something pretty juicy if they actually suck him back in.
like uh every every indication as i said earlier is that like oh wow donald trump this is a u.s loss like this is donald trump accepting defeat in this war um and man as you know you've seen the uh the israeli hardliners are really upset by this did you see mark levin was freaking out because uh it was reported that netanyahu has no idea what's in the deal
