Donald J. Trump

They knew people that...

either got abducted on October 7th or got attacked or whatever happened.

So it's really, if you want to think of it this way, Steve, it's a family rejoicing for what's happening today.

To say they're excited to have President Trump is perhaps the understatement of the century.

So I'm trying to find a word that encapsulates how thrilled people are that President Trump is here.

The streets are all gated off with that extra security for the motorcade to be able to come down to the Knesset.

So there is a lot of anticipation this morning, Steve, as you noted, as the hostages are being released.

On the downside, there's a lot of violence.

being reported and videos being uploaded in Gaza now that Hamas temporarily has the IDF stepping back.

They're shooting a lot of people and shooting these rival clans, and there's a lot of brutality taking place in Gaza right now.

Yeah, it seems to be like these open Klan wars and people collaborated.

We're going to get to that in a minute.

But here's the thing.

I notice even CNN and BBC, people, the news people, and even here at the war, a little bit overwhelming the emotional reaction to this by the Israeli people.

I mean, now it's like two or three days they've been in the...

They've been in hostage square in Tel Aviv, throughout the nation.

You see at Reem Air Force Base, thousands of people there to greet them.

Were you anticipating it would be this emotional for the Israeli people?

Yeah, I was because, again, because everybody either knows a hostage or knows a soldier that died in Gaza or knows somebody that was impacted or has it in their family.

I have friends that I've gone to synagogue with who, you know, a father who lost a son, a rabbi I know who thought his son was alive.
