Joining us our buddy, our Fox correspondent, Eben Brown in Miami this morning, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Benjamin Netanyahu as he will be speaking with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago later today. Eben, welcome in. Thanks for being here. Good morning. So what the meetings yesterday with the President Biden and Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris came out of the gate and said, look, yeah, I agree. We got to end this but there was a big but and then she went right into it. What's happening in the way that he is doing this war and fight against Hamas and Gaza. We've got to relook at it. Too many innocent people are dying. Everybody wants this thing to end obviously. Nobody likes war but I got to tell you she did right out of the gate say that Israel has the right to defend themselves but how they do it is what's in question. What will happen with the meeting today with President Trump is he's kind of pushed for it. We've got to end this thing and then y'all who wants to end this thing too but I think first you got to get the hostages. Well there's two goals for I think the Israelis. One is to get the hostages returned or at least have their remains returned at this point but sadly the other goal is to and this was stated during the Prime Minister's speech to Congress the other day to demilitarize and be radicalized Gaza. This is very similar to what the Allies did to Germany at the end of World War II was to first take away its ability to wage war and then I have a plan to de-radicalize it. As Churchill called it de-notsify it and that is to change everyone's minds about how their lives are and what they should be doing about it. In the case of the Nazis it was to blame the Jews and kill all the Jews. In the case of Hamas and Gaza it's to blame the Jews and kill all the Jews so that mindset has to change. Now it may be a bit more difficult to do that in Gaza than it was in Nazi Germany. At the end of World War II the world was pretty much dead set on rehabilitating German society. In the year 2024 you have the half of the power apparatus in the United States that thinks Israel should take this on the chin. You have certainly much of the UN that feels the same way. In fact they feel that Israel continued to perpetuate the idea that Israel is a colonist usurper state that has victimized Palestinians for 70 years. This is part and parcel of the United Nations doctrine and continues to be a focal point of their fundraising and their fund spending. And then you have a very similar mindset that infests the European Union. Not to mention a good swath of the rest of the Middle East. Although opinions are changing there as Iran becomes more and more of an apparent threat to people even their Arab neighbors. So you seem to have more deference towards Israel from President Trump than perhaps maybe from the Biden administration these days. At the same time President Trump is urging the Israelis to kind of hurry this up saying that Israel is not doing well in their public relations war and that's true. Israel has never really had a great public relations because Israel has always had an attitude post Holocaust that we don't care what you think because we are fighting for our survival. And that's pretty much where we are. Now today's meeting with President Trump is expected to be a few hours long. I think it is both policy meeting and social call and meal taken together. But it does wrap up the Prime Minister's U.S. trip. And rekindles kind of their relationship that has had some tension in the past. But once again, you know, I agree with you that President Trump is more on board with protecting and helping Netanyahu and see, you know, helping Israel than Biden is and certainly much more than Kamala Harris is. She's leaning over there with Rashida Talib and those guys and kind of squatty and, you know, as far as the political scene is concerned. But you know, when I see all the anti-Semitism and all this protesting going on, I immediately go back to what Scripture has to say about this and Israel is in, you know, in God's, the apple of God's eye and will always be protected. And I got to go with, you know, that opinion, yeah, globally, you know, the PR, they don't look good. The, you know, the political thing. Well, let's also remember this if you don't mind and the Prime Minister mentioned this as well during his remarks to Congress. It's Israeli intelligence that keeps U.S. intelligence informed about the goings on in the Middle East and the plans of radicals that they have, not just in the Middle East, but worldwide and especially against American interests. It's not just a college kids wrapped into Thea scarves and being trendy that are shouting death to America, along with death to Israel. They're doing it in the streets of Ramallah and they're doing it in the streets of Kanyunis. And they also do it in the streets of Beirut and they do it in the streets of Amman and they do it in the streets of Tehran and they do it in the streets of Damascus. And need I go on. This is a, the Middle East has been plagued for more than a century with radicalism. Yes. And Israel has been the tip of the spear in terms of defense against this, even the defense of other Arab nations who themselves have been fighting the radicalism and actually with some great success. There's a reason why Europe is infested with these radicals now, it's because the UAE kicked them out. Absolutely. Evan, you make great points in your spot on, on all of that. And we could talk the whole hour about the situation that as you mentioned has been going on for years and years and years. This goes way back, biblically to the vision of God's favor and Israel is in God's favor. The other side is not. And that's why I believe that Israel will be protected by God and should be protected by the United States. And we always have as a nation supported them, but it seems to be, you know, being torn apart these days politically and it kind of makes me sick and it's basically heart-breaking as well. Thank you, Evan. I appreciate you. Hey guys, it is Ryan. I'm not sure if you know this about me, but I'm a bit of a fun fanatic when I can. I like to work, but I like fun too.
