Summary
Knox recounts confronting prosecutor Giuliano Mignini and explores how certainty, incentive structures, and "alternate realities" turned her story into a sprawling international conspiracy. She parses the feedback loop between media and Italian justice, and why today's true-crime-savvy public might have questioned the case sooner. Also: the 21 point Gaza peace plan that hasn't been faxed to Hamas, and a Spiel on why the Comey indictment reads as impermissible lawfare, not a good-faith prosecution.

| 0:08.9 | It's the gist. |
| 0:09.8 | I'm Mike Peska. |
| 0:11.0 | And there is a 21-point plan for peace in God's. |
| 0:15.0 | Well, breaking news, a 20-point plan. |
| 0:18.1 | Apparently, one of the points was that Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to the |
| 0:22.0 | Qataris for bombing them, or at least a country therein, and he did, sorry, so sorry. Now, another detail |
| 0:30.5 | of this plan, which includes allowing the Gazans to stay, so getting off that ethnic, clenzy |
| 0:37.4 | idea that Donald Trump had proposed, |
| 0:40.4 | one of the main components of this plan that is still up in the air is, according to all sources, |
| 0:46.7 | that Hamas hasn't signed on. I'd say that's pretty big. In fact, not only have they not signed on, |

| 0:55.1 | quote, Hamas has not yet been a copy of the plan, regional officials said. |
| 1:00.6 | Hope Hamas has a fax machine. You're going to have to get their say-so, sort of how we ended World |
| 1:05.0 | War II. The Germans at least signed on, Civil War. The Confederates agreed. You know, |
| 1:10.3 | that's a pretty standard provision |
| 1:13.3 | of a peace plan. 20, 21 points, usually one point. The loser has to say, yes, we did, in fact, |
| 1:20.9 | lose. There could be kind of a stalemate plan. Let's freeze these lines and you be a North |
| 1:26.0 | Korea and I'll be a South Korea. |
