the ADL and I don't think that they're super backing them in everything they do. So if Israel is not completely backing them and the United States is not completely backing them and they're not helping anybody because I don't think they are. I don't know if they'll last another year. We shall see.

Trump and company have released what they call a 21.2 Gaza peace plan. Here's what it would call for. Immediate ceasefire, a freeze on battle lines, a release of all hostages and within two days. Hamas's weapons would be destroyed. Fighters would have to accept coexistence with Israel and they'd get amnesty and safe passage abroad so they could leave the country if they were worried. And pave the path to a possible Palestinian statehood. Now Palestinian statehood is not something that Israel wants or at least the current leader of Israel. So I don't know about that one happening. And Israel would free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. And in response to having all their prisoners back Israel would halt plans to demolish or annex Gaza and would gradually withdraw its forces and anyone who wants to return to Gaza after leaving will be allowed to do so. Gaza would get a temporary government overseen by an international group involving the US and Arab countries and European nations and they would develop a new economic plan to revitalize it. And the US and Arab allies would craft a stabilization force to build up security in Gaza.

Well how many of you think any of that's going to happen? And I feel like I'm so beaten down. Two years of war since October 7th and I just don't see any of that happening. Do you? I see none of that happening. Like just none of it. I feel that Israel's best interest would be to just take the heat and take the country because yeah who knows if they can survive that by the way. That would be quite a step. So Israel would have to deal with the repercussions of that forever and that would be pretty big repercussions. So they might not even be able to survive it. If they try to just take Gaza and absorb it and kick out all the Palestinians that were in Gaza might not be survivable. I don't know. I'm not smart enough to know how much of a danger that would be. But I don't see either side agreeing to all the important parts. I just don't see it. Do you? So I'd love to be wrong. Wouldn't it be great if they worked everything out? But I don't know. I don't see any chance it could happen.

The UN sanctions on Iran have snapped back into place because they were unable to agree on terms for ongoing inspections of their nuclear facilities. Are you surprised that Iran did not give the West everything it wanted in inspections? No surprise.

Apparently Russia is arming and training a Chinese airborne battalion with all kinds of their best equipment and everything. And analysts think that maybe what they're doing is preparing for a Taiwan invasion. Not Russia but who they're training in China. Do you think China is literally preparing for an invasion? I wouldn't rule it out or at the very least they might want us to think they're planning it to put the pressure on but I wouldn't rule it out. I wouldn't rule it in. I wouldn't bet on it but I wouldn't rule it out. I think there's a solid 25% chance that China has a specific plan with a date that they're going to go take Taiwan. And I'm pretty sure they could take it if they wanted to.

Bad Bunny is a music star that I didn't know much about but apparently that will be the Super Bowl halftime entertainment. But Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican and his songs are primarily in Spanish with very little English. So people are saying why are you doing that? You know we're an English-speaking country. Wouldn't it make more sense to have English-speaking music? But Bad Bunny is very popular. So Bad Bunny is popular in this country too. So I'm not sure that's a mistake. People will complain. But having a little bit of interesting diversity isn't the worst thing in the world.

That's all I got for you today. Going to keep it a little bit short. I'll remind you again that if you haven't seen it I did a podcast last night with Dr. Drew and Greg Gutfeld who were nice enough to stop by my place yesterday. So we sat in my kitchen and did a podcast which according to the comments people really really liked. And I got to tell you that one of the many cool things ab
