"Anita Dunn, can you tell us about Biden's brain and was anybody aware of it and keeping that a secret from the rest of us?" And so it was a case of Anita Dunn and the president who is now done, and he's got a Dunn-er. So it was sort of a Dunn and done situation. But Anita was kind of smart.

Now, I think everybody has the same feeling, which is too many people are getting killed and wouldn't it be good if everybody got fed and wouldn't it be good if everybody could live in harmony next to each other? So we all agree on the obvious basic stuff. But what is the alternative to Gaza completely being dom…
