| 0:00.0 | What's going on, everybody? Welcome back for another episode of Trigger. This is Triggered episode number 487 on Wednesday, October 18th. |
| 0:10.0 | We're on the March toward episode 500. Yeah. Although at this pace, the one-a-week pace can take a little longer. But we get some weeks with two episodes coming up for you around the debate and the election and all that stuff. |
| 0:21.7 | So obviously still the biggest story and going to be the biggest story for really the foreseeable future is the war over in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas and potentially now the wider Middle East, |
| 0:39.7 | which we're really going to dig into here. |
| 0:41.8 | Yep. |
| 0:42.4 | But there's so much that is happening on a daily basis over there. |
| 0:48.0 | Not going to recount everything that's happened in the last seven days, but... |
| 0:52.0 | We can't. |
| 0:52.7 | Yeah, there's been time for that. |
| 0:54.4 | So let's start with the biggest story right now, |
| 0:56.9 | which is this alleged explosion at the hospital. |
| 1:03.3 | Yeah, I mean, the terrorists blew up their own hospital. |
| 1:06.7 | That's exactly what happened. |

Here's the thing. Probably terrorists. Definitely terrorists. Maybe some civilians, but really they're all in the same bucket these days. |
| 1:28.8 | Mostly terrorists. |
| 1:38.5 | The pictures, now that it was daytime over there, I mean, I really don't think that it killed 500 people. |
| 1:39.8 | I think that's fake news. |
| 1:42.5 | I think that their estimates are way off. |
| 1:44.3 | They're inflating them for propaganda. I saw at least 200. |
| 1:45.4 | Now, it's up the 500 now? They're saying 500. There's no way there's 500 people in the house. I want to see the bodies. Yeah. I want to see the bodies. Yeah. And not bodies that have been dead for days already. Yeah. You can't trust anything over there, man. Hollywood, as they called? Total bullshit. Well, so you've been writing a bit about this, and you followed it kind of from the beginning yesterday. |
