terday, I'm not worried about the ceasefire as long as both sides have dramatically drawn down their military presence. There's definitely going to be violations of the ceasefire. You know, every single person who's been alive more than 10 minutes knows the ceasefire is going to get violated. So you can't say we're going to change everything if the ceasefire gets violated because we know it's goin…

Right. So I do like the buyback idea, but I think it's only a dent. You can't get all the guns with that. But if you got half of them, that'd be pretty impressive.
Kushner and Witkoff are the two guys trying to figure out how to govern Gaza after that, which to me brings up this question. Is there a way to create a non-corrupt government, even for just a city? Let's call Gaza a city, even though it's bigger than a city. Has anybody ever done it? I don't think it's even doable.

You could just take a pin and drop it on the globe and it would hit some corrupt place somewhere. Basically all cities are corrupt. So the question is, if you build the cities the way they've always been built in the past, what are you going to get? Well, corrupt Gaza for sure. But is there a way, similar to the conversation about the government grocery stores, if you were to throw away all assumptions, and this is what Jared I think is especially good at, throw away all assumptions, could you do it then? And who would do it? I've often thought that the number one thing you need to get right is that the people who are making the money decisions don't live there. Bec

ause if you live there, you've got all these corrupt influences. You know, that gangster you grew up with and the people you went to school with and your wife's family who wants that contract. You can't let the people who live there control the money. They will always be corrupt. They would just give it to their family members etc. So you need some kind of independent, physically not there entity…
