we're observers. Cats. We're observers on this. We're not participants. You know, even if you wanted to be a participant, you're not. You don't get a vote. Nobody cares if you're mad about it. You're just not a participant. We're just watching.

So here's what I observe. Whether or not annexing the West Bank and making sure that there's never a two-state solution. And if it is, that the second state is just a little bit of a nothing. So no matter whether you think that's a good idea or a bad idea, I'll tell you what is true. There's never been a better time to do it. It might be a bad idea. Like, it might just cause so much trouble that you wish you had never done it. It might be a bad idea, but there's definitely not going to be a better time to do that bad idea. So if they feel lucky, and I don't know if they do, they might make a run at it. If I had to predict, I'll predict that they don't. I'll predict that they debate it but decide the risk is too high because they need to wrap up Gaza and they probably don't want to open up a whole extra can of worms right now. So at the same time, it's no better time for them to do it. And the reason I say that is that their reputation is so bad already. If the Gen Z's are 60% in favor of Hamas that it's not going to get much worse and there's so much happening there that it's a good sort of confusing environment where there's too much to talk about, then you can sneak in the stuff that people don't like because there's just so much to talk about that people don't like that there's just one more thing. So I'm not recommending it. That's not advice. I'm just saying as an observer, probably there'll never be a better time. And it could be a disaster, by the way. There's a real strong chance it would be just disastrous, but never a better time. So I'd hate to be trying to make that decision.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, look at me. I stretched that out until it was almost exactly one hour. I got quite the game. If you were a subscriber to Owen Gregorian's X account, he's got a Spaces just for you, just for the sub people, subscribe to him, people who follow him, followers, not subscribers, the people who follow him on X. So that'll happen after the show and I'm going to talk privately to the beloved members of Locals and we're going to play with my cats a little bit who are starting to fight. Now, one cat is starting to fight and the other one is trying to ignore him. Guess which one is instigating the fight. That's right. It's Gary. Yep. Gary's trying to instigate a fight on my notes. All right, I'll let you all watch that for a minute. This will be your moment of Sunday's end. Cats wrestling. I watch this s
