in its history so it's pretty easy to argue against that on the ram paul terms the argument for what trump did is that he's not going to actually do it that what he's trying to do is kind of a nod to what ben shapiro was saying which is and he trump reiterated this yesterday and he's been saying this since he's been president and president-elect which is that uh october 6th

of 2023 was intolerable. We need to think differently about that going forward. And the October 6th mindset is that Palestinians will run Gaza. If that means Hamas is in charge, then I guess that means Hamas is in charge. And the people who live in the Gaza Strip will sort of periodically wage constant war against Israel. That's unacceptable going forward, as is the notion that
