| 0:00.0 | I'm John Batchew with my good colleague Elizabeth Peek, who writes a column for the Hill and column for Fox business. |
| 0:10.0 | And lizpeak.com, Liz, it's lizpeak.com. |
| 0:14.7 | Yeah. |
| 0:15.7 | Is where to find Liz's columns altogether. |
| 0:18.9 | I recommend. |
| 0:20.3 | We're now addressing a fact that's right in front of us |
| 0:22.8 | because the Nobel Prizes are being announced every day. There's one for physics today. |
| 0:27.5 | The Nobel Peace Prize isn't quite the same. It's in Norway, but it'll come up in the next weeks. |
| 0:34.3 | And Donald Trump, the twice elected president of the United States, has campaigned for it for |
| 0:39.9 | about 500 years, very obviously. And he can be charming about it because he's so needy. He wants |
| 0:47.8 | a Nobel Peace Prize. But then again, Liz, the Gaza peace deal that he's put on the table, |

| 1:19.2 | difference. The results are positive. And I believe the Arab signing on to the Gaza peace plan |
| 1:25.3 | is a major breakthrough for the president's ability to negotiate. |
| 1:29.3 | So holding it back from him at this point is probably more significant than giving it to him and moving on. |
| 1:37.3 | I think that's true. I mean, goodness gracious, he should have gotten it way back when, when the Abraham chords were first announced, John, |
| 1:48.2 | because that was the most significant movement towards a peaceful Middle East that we have seen, I think, in our lifetime. |
| 1:57.5 | You might disagree. |
| 1:58.9 | Obviously, the meeting between Israel and Egypt was extremely impactful, et cetera. |
