Summary

The Matts are dumbfounded by Trump’s plan to take ownership of Gaza and turn it into a Mediterranean riviera - or, more accurately, force the displacement of millions of Palestinians and totally demolish any chance of progress toward a two-state solution. This lunatic approach to international policy is an entirely new and terrifying form of statecraft - how can leaders react? Also - the Matts watch Go Back Where You Came From … the Channel 4 TV show that has caused outrage for sensationalising the migrant crisis. The Matts love it. Tune in to find out why. Enjoy!

0:00.0	Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,
0:05.2	I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to
0:10.4	spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month
0:17.2	of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.
0:23.1	That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get
0:28.1	the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.
0:33.9	Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European.com.ukuk
0:40.2	forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two
0:47.1	mats podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to
0:53.5	dip your toe into a whole new world of
0:56.5	journalism. Hello and welcome to the Two Matts podcast brought to you by the subscribers of the new
1:01.2	European. Fine people. It's a Thursday evening. It is. And we are we are reeling from another normal
1:08.9	week in Trump world. Just another normal day in the office in Trump world.

1:24.2	The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous, unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply.
1:44.9	Okay, well, that's a slightly different approach to anything anyone's ever suggested in the world before,
1:51.8	including Donald Trump. Yeah. I mean, talk about out of the blue. Well, actually, I mean,
