Of course, my name is Royal Neil in Florida joins us now to talk a little bit more about Netanyahu's visit coming up with President Trump. At Marlago today, welcome in Roy. Thanks for being here. Hey, JT. Good morning. I have a question for you about Marlago. Is this a place that's like the Kennedy compound where it belongs to Trump and it's a big residence for the family? Or is this more like Dorrell Country Club where it's kind of opened up and there's events there and it's more of an event center plus a residence for him? Yeah, no. It's a much more open venue. Marlago hosts a lot of fundraisers. It's a club. It's something that you, I think it's a million dollars now, is the upfront cost to join. And then you can get different tiers of membership. But yeah, it's often held, you know, the big brothers, big sisters fundraisers at Marlago and so you often get the public crowd to go to events there all the time, unlike the Kennedy compound, which is just three buildings. Real private. Damn. Okay, good. Now, with that said, here comes Benjamin Netanyahu today after meeting with Biden and Harris yesterday, the expectations on the meeting today, the relationship there, is it a peachy relationship? Are they going to try and, you know, revamp some things where there might have been some, you know, problems earlier? Yeah. I mean, it was tight. Well, philosophically, these guys are on the same page. But things got a little bumpy four years ago and Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Joe Biden on winning the 2020 election. Donald Trump was still contesting the results. And I think it went on to social media that he was upset with Netanyahu getting involved and, you know, congratulating Biden on that, but, you know, by guns, by guns and for political purposes, it seems that everyone is chummy and we've got Netanyahu essentially covering his bases, meeting with President Biden, Vice President Harris and Donald Trump during this week long trip. Well, 47, I think is, it's a good thing to start having these meetings now, you know, as he leads in most polls right now, it looks kind of, you know, neck and neck and some polls with Trump and Kamala Harris, but, you know, assuming that he is going to be the next president, I would think the reason they're meeting is for the plans, if in fact, he does win the election, correct? Right. Yeah. Like I said, I think he's just, you know, had he not paid a visit to him, it would have been viewed as a snob. And I think that that would have caused more problems for Netanyahu. And again, the two men agree philosophically and are much more on the same page than he and Joe Biden. Yeah. And Kamala Harris apparently is will listen to some of her press conference yesterday in just a few minutes. Also today, big opening ceremonies begin for the Summer Olympics in Paris and already out of the gate security concerns for the Israeli athletes that are there. Yeah. The bigger issue, though, is this attack on the high speed train system. It's been a big problem that's developed in the past few hours across France. Vandals set fire to some cables in three different locations that handle the high speed train network in the country. This could disrupt about a quarter million passengers today may take the whole weekend. So we're talking about 800,000 train trips being disrupted as a result. Wow. Obviously, not the best day for this to be happening. We don't know who's to blame just yet. That's all still being investigated right now. We know that at least one in four Eurostar trains are being canceled. Those are the trains that link England and France. So those trains, some of them are being canceled. So this is really causing some big problems. Otherwise, they're looking forward to the big celebration tonight on the river scent. There is no Olympic stadium. They're actually having the opening ceremonies on the river. This is going to be a four mile flotilla unfolding on the river scent for unfortunately. It looks like it might be in some rainy weather, but still nothing we've ever seen before. Unbelievable. This attack has taken place on the system there. So nobody's been arrested. They don't have a clue as to who did this was this terrorist. Is it related to the Gaza, Israeli situation or is it just a bunch of hoodlums, you know, being stupid? I mean, it sounds like they did pretty, pretty big damage and it probably had to be a pre-metted situation. So no clues yet whatsoever? No, not yet. Again, this is only about two or three hours old. So it hasn't, it's relatively new and you know, no clues to what they're telling by the way. Wow. And this also happened outside the city in more remote areas. So again, I think the focus for security had been on going to the stations to make sure the people are okay, maybe less, you know, following some remote area where they got some cable or the train system, but unreal, but not no surprise with the world situation right now. Royal Neil, thank you, buddy. Have a good weekend. Hello. It is Ryan and we could all use an extra bright spot in our day, couldn't we?
