ing them think past the sale. The sale is, did you solve a whole bunch of conflicts around the world? Yes or no? If he can make you argue about which ones he solved and which ones he didn't, is the number six or seven or eight, he wins. He wins hard. So he just has to make you think, is that the right number? Let's talk about that. Let's talk about all these examples that you never would have heard except that I'm talking about what the right number is. Right? If everybody had agreed on the number and everybody said, "Yeah, it's five." He got five. I wouldn't even look them up. But because there's dispute, then suddenly it's interesting and fun for all of us to know what the names of those disputes are. And then you say, "Oh well okay. I can see why his critics might say that one's not. I can see why his critics would say he doesn't get credit for that specific one. But in the process of debunking any one of them, you're going to be reminded that he got several wars or conflicts ended through his involvement." So it's perfect persuasion. All right. I love that he does that.

All right. And Trump said that Iran wants to work on peace. Now they've informed us and they've acknowledged that they're totally in favor of this deal. Do you think it's possible that this would actually lead to a lasting Iran kind of a deal? Because I think even Russia was in favor of the Gaza deal. So that would be just about everybody.

All right. And then Pete Hegseth gets the win because apparently the military has met its full year quota. Let's say what it met, year-long goal in the Marine Corps in two weeks. So apparently people joining the military is way up and there's no way that that has anything to do with anything except leadership. Would you agree? It's not because the economy is so bad, although it's hard for young people to get jobs. So that is part of it. But it's Hegseth and Trump. They simply made it cool for young men. You know I'm sure young women are still joining, but young men, they made it cool to be in the military. And now they know that if you're in the military, maybe nobody's going to call you fat. So because you won't be because you don't get to stay. So good job Pete Hegseth and Trump on getting the military so respected that they just smashed through the recruitment goals. The opposite of what was happening under Biden.

The press is having a weird week in trying to be at least a little bit honest about how happy they are that this peace deal might be happening. Here are the things that even the Trump critics, just the people who are not pro-Trump, but they do agree that Biden could not have gotten this done, which is amazing that people are saying that out loud. You know Fetterman said that if he also gets the Ukraine deal solved, I don't think that's imminent, but maybe, that Fetterman himself would lead the push to get him the Nobel Peace Prize because he would deserve it.

I believe that his critics are all on the same page that no matter what you don't like about Trump, the one thing you have to admit is that he's a peacemaker and he really, really doesn't like war. That's amazing that they do not argue that even though they would say he lies about everything, he has convinced even his most serious critics that not only is he the biggest badass if he has to go militarily, but he's also the biggest force for peace at the same time. And that that's real, that that comes from his heart, not from some policy decision. Even his critics say he's the strongest man of peace who's also strong. That's amazing. His critics.

They give him credit for being willing and able to bully Netanyahu. That's real. Because that whole thing about Israel is the tail wagging the dog. Well I think Trump kind of reinforced the model that I've been trying to promote, which is it's not that Israel runs the United States. It's more like a sibling situation where they want things and they try to influence us. We want things so we try to influence them. But I don't know that we've ever been as good at it as we are now with Trump. Probably not. This is probably the most influence we've ever had and Netanyahu is smart enough to know that he needs to stick with a winner. So if Netanyahu had any doubts or wanted to push back against Trump before, he probably has figured out that that would be a bad idea at the moment. You know he should just go with Trump because that's the winning horse right now.

And I love the fact that his critics are going to have to struggle with the fact that Trump's authoritarian side is probably what got this done. So their number one complaint about Trump is that he's authoritarian. And remember just the other day I was talking about how the best form of government would be an authoritarian who has your best interest in mind. His critics have decided that he has our best interest in mind when it comes to ending war and that he needed to be authoritarian to get it done. Yeah. How do you win harder than that? It's the number one complaint about him and he just used that number one personality they would call it a defect, but he uses that personality strength to get one of the most remarkable wins of any president. And he did it right in front of them.

Well we all watched the authoritarian thing turn from, "Oh I'm scared of this," to once you realize that he's pro-America and he's a benevolent authoritarian. Now people got mad at me for acknowledging his authoritarianism. But authoritarian just means that you're big on following the law and the constitution because that is the authority. It doesn't mean that he wants to be the law. It means that he's going to push all the doors and test all the envelopes and stuff like that, but he's still going to follow the law. So I think the thing that people aren't talking about is this sort of organic reframing of authoritarian into a positive, at least this week. Bet you didn't see that coming.

All right. And I think the Democrats made Trump's success more lik
