it is still keeping america in the middle east and the current configuration of middle eastern powers together. this deal is moving and as far as the israeli public is concerned, the political necessity of this deal is without a doubt is great support for this deal. this deal is the only way to effectively end the war and goes on without actually saying that the war and as ended and also as long as this deal is progressing through phase one. and phase 2, nobody has to talk about president trump's plan for ethnic cleansing is just up in the air. so everybody i think has an interest, even if it is cool, hurt. keep this still running and then say i am not surprised that the hostages will be free tomorrow as well, the palestinian prisoners. i said as much uh, i think about a week ago. ready uh to uh, when i was speaking and one of your programs, i think everybody has an interest that this will continue to happen, even if they can actually articulate that. i really appreciate you being with us. so i already go back there. thank you very much indeed. thank you, i have the you as vice presid

change that we've seen happen even in recent weeks, from what's happening in america to what's happening in the middle east. those reminds me that there's a volatility in the world that we haven't seen for some time. but i would argue though, with that stability still has big benefits, particularly if you're a collection of democracies as the you with. and i'm confident that we will be able to rise to the challenges that i know developing at some stage. and we can talk, for example, but some of the, the, my new shell said the issues that the trump presidency could bring and such as tire . so we can talk about more general economic teams like inflation and so on. but the was there have been aware for a while that some of these problems that are mounting or go beyond these relatively short term issues. and for that reason, there's been 2 big reports commissioned this here. the letter report obviously are looking at the single market and then the, the drawing a report on competitiveness. why do you think these reports are so necessary? and what of you as your group president taken from the so they are so nece

we con, throughout the possibility that america might say no to europe on the east, that threats and that many, many leaders have told it was your that me, it's its own military. and i me, and i mean of you are a and i and i, i really, i really believe the time has come on forces of your must be created and, and his address to the conference room and chance are all of sold called on europe . and as allies to be ready to support ukraine for the long haul, even after any p steel might be made. the over p, as in european said, being the strongest supporters of ukraine. and we are going to do this full as long as it takes 2 buildings. these is so long as the notice, and the most indeed sidelines stopped when the weapons both silent them and the at the end of the negotiated solution. ukraine will have to be able to defend itself against the possible future russian attacks. if you not see it, it will be a massive financial material. logistic challenge, what can you crane cannot do this on its own in the foreseeable future. and that's why the support of us, europeans. yeah. and the trans at

we're in difficult time throughout middle east inside of america everywhere in the world and presidentve all 76 hostages and to not give up on any of them. this is how i want him to be remembered as the one who saved all the hostages and end the war. >> todd: we thank you for your time. quickly before we let you go, what do you expect to happen come noon on saturday? do you think all hostages will be released then per donald trump's threat? >> this is what should happen. this is what should happen. and at least hamas should continue the deal as it was supposed to be, without any hesitation, without any invented statements. we have to get all hostages back and to not harm any of them. we have too many of them are still alive doing everything they can to survive in the most horrific condition that none of us can imagine and trust me, i've heard my sister's story. none of them deserve what they got there. we have to save them. we have to. >> todd: i can't imagine being a family member going through that and listening to those stories and the family members waiting on word from their loved

in fact, when people are looking at america for a piece deal in the middle east, he seems to be looking at a real estate deal suggesting that some one to 2000000 palestinians we've been moved. i would hope guys a and then there would be a massive re development there. now how he gets his hands on guys. he says that the families would hand it over at the end of the war. so these really is to give it silver and tended to recognize the running the world. so quite how does that would work out? no one's entirely sure. and then of course there's the cost of it. he suggests that the people in the area countries in the area would meet the cost of what's going on . and then how do you to move one to 2000000 palestinians. we have to the go with the jordanians, and the addictions already said that they wouldn't accept any palestinians, but of course the polish studies don't want to go. so donald trump quickly talked about having new us troops in the middle east because of course he campaign on getting america out of expensive for moore's and many of the right of his party. but that's exactly what

is part of as good as middle east to as america's top diplomat. on sunday, he met with his rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu in west jerusalem. the secretary of state fully endorsed as rouse wives and gonzo, saying hum us must be eradicated. rubio and yahoo also discussed president donald trump's plans to post palestinians out of the strip, which has been widely contained. the presidents also been very bold about his view of what the future, regardless of should be. not the same tired ideas of the past, but something that's a new bold and something that frankly took courage and vision in order to outline. and it may have shocked and surprised many. but what cannot continue is the same cycle, will repeat over and over again and wind up in the exact same place. we have a common strategy and we can always share the details of this a strategy with the public, including when the gates of hell will be open as a surely will if all our hostages are not released. i'm also sending you a spokesman assignment honda and told, i'll just say are the pales

and he suddenly has this notion of america, creating riviera is in the middle east. but if you listen to those around him and cloning is so much more measured in terms of suggesting, you know, this is the difficulty of deal with the status of palestinians, etc. so i would not take, this is a literal plan that he's pushing. this is where the problem is. the benjamin netanyahu has met with the us, secretary of defense of the pentagon. the task up describe problems of plan to take control of gauze as a creative solution to solving decades of conflict. the set depends again, is prepared to look at all options because that particular home is not in the pentagon. with the latest is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu spending the afternoon here at the pentagon, meeting with the new is secretary of defense. p takes us in the beginning of their remarks. they've talked about the need to increase cooperation between israel and the us, highlighting the fact that the trump administration did lift the prohibition, put in place by the previous administration and sending 2000

but if we don't dance to their tune they can get those in places like latin america in the middle east's their ultimate goal that's why -- they've undertaken the biggest military buildup in history. that's why they've been waging an economic world war especially against the united states for the last several decades that's why -- as i say in seven things you can't say about china they have vast influence operations inside of america in our businesses on our campuses, and our governments. they want to replace america as the world superpower. >> you know, your little book is the most thorough exposition in comprehensive take on communist china i've ever read i've read a lot about communist china. you say hey look this is l evil empire, how is it the evil empire? >> yeah mark it is like ronald reagan said about communist russia calling evil empire that caused a lot of elites in washington to go to the fainting couch. communist china is also an evil empire it is probably worst than soviet russia was because it's enabled by advanced technology to monitor all of its people and to oppress the
