or Israel is just cynically sort of saying yeah yeah we totally agree with this, we'll totally do this. So I guess you can't blame us for war because we already agreed to peace. So if Hamas doesn't agree, well then they're just bringing it upon themselves, wouldn't you say? So I think Israel wins either way. They win if they get the end of fighting in one way and they would win a different way if they got a better excuse to keep fighting. Well look, we've offered, we made this totally reasonable offer and they rejected it. So what are you going to do? I guess the fighting goes on. It's all Hamas's fault.

So anyway Netanyahu is becoming hilarious in his praising of Trump because obviously he knows that he needs to stay on Trump's good side but he's doing it with such a heavy hand. Here are some things that Netanyahu said I think just yesterday about President Trump. There's no one like him. He's an incredible friend and ally of Israel. I don't decide a thing for President Trump. He is the most independent leader and amazing leader that I've seen in all my years, in all of his years. He's the best leader.

And here's my advice. You want to dial that back about 20%. It's good to say good things about Trump especially if you believe them. But if you go too far it looks like you're fawning. It doesn't look like you're serious at all. I mean if you go from he's the most independent leader and amazing leader that I've seen in all my years, that's right up to the line because after that what do you have after that? He can fly on his own power. We think he has godlike powers. He might be psychic. I mean it gets crazy after that. So you dial it back about 20%.

Well Eric Swalwell reminds us why Democrats can never be in power again. He announced, he actually said this out loud in public, that when Democrats win in 2026 accountability is coming and that they will investigate private citizens who work for Trump, will subpoena the DOJ and also private actors who have done these drug deals with the administration. He calls them drug deals.

And here's my advice. Once again we always talk about how Democrats don't understand human motivation. Why are you telling us you're going to do this if you win? Doing it after you win might make some sense, right? Because then you've already won. Saying it before you get there just makes us try harder to make sure you don't win. What exactly were you trying to accomplish by inspiring us to try harder to make sure you never have power again? Well telling us you'll go after private citizens will get you there.

Senator John Fetterman is telling us that he's not going to switch parties. He just sort of likes common sense and doesn't think the Democrats are always doing the common sense thing. But I saw Dana Perino on The Five say what I would have said in this situation which is Fetterman is very cleverly taking what could be called the Joe Manchin strategy, which is if you can credibly become the only Democrat who's sometimes, not often but sometimes, willing to vote with the Republicans then everybody has to kiss your ass from now until the end of time because they can't afford to lose that one vote. Things just are too close. So maybe it won't be that close after 2026. But I've got a feeling that he's going to Joe Manchin this thing which would be brilliant. It would be exactly the right thing to do and smarter than switching to the Republicans. If he switches to the Republican party he will be considered the least good Republican because he's practically a Democrat. But if he stays Democrat he's got all the power.

Don Lemon said in public that white men are deeply broken and that's why they resort to violence. Okay. I think Joy Reid was on another podcast saying bad things about white people too.

But I'm going to give you some DEI reframing in case you find yourself in a conversation about DEI. You ready? Here's what most of us have been saying including me and I keep realizing that it doesn't work at all. If you say that DEI is racist, nobody cares. Nobody cares. There's no Democrat who's going to say oh I didn't realize that. Yeah that's kind of racist. Yeah so we should cut it out. Nobody cares.

Let me use an analogy. If a billionaire lost a dollar would you feel bad for them? A billionaire lost one dollar. No you wouldn't. Because if somebody's powerful you don't feel empathy for them. You just say ah I'd rather be you than me. So likewise if you're a white guy and you say to anybody who's a Democrat oh this is racist, the Democrat's going to say so you probably had it coming after hundreds of years of you being the patriarchy and you getting all the g
