0:00.0	We're back. Nothing personal word of the day. It is Wednesday, August 2nd, 2023. We're
0:25.1	back. I want to get right into it because there's plenty to discuss, but I'm not going to.
0:31.3	Because I want to mention one thing that you may not believe, whether you are Jewish or not
0:36.7	Jewish, go to Israel. I just got back from 12 days in Israel and I had not experienced it in the
0:46.8	way. I've been there before. I had not experienced it in the way that I just did and seen the things
0:52.6	that I was able to see in Jerusalem went all from the north to the south, West Bank,
0:57.2	Golan Heights, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Cesaria, Ako, Spot, all over. The Negev Desert went to Jordan,
1:07.2	saw the old city of Petra. And then I did something for Koka, went to Wadi Rum in Jordan where they
1:14.9	filmed in the desert, John Wick, chapter 4. They also filmed the Martian there. Indiana Jones
1:22.3	was filmed. Why? Because it looks like Mars. It looks like something out of this world.
1:29.9	And the reason I say that everyone should go to Israel is that there's a real PR problem. Israel is
1:36.7	safe, start there. And finding peace in the Middle East, I'm not going to do a segment on peace
1:43.4	in the Middle East. I will only say that anyone who expected Jared Kushner to step in and find a
1:51.1	way to get peace in the Middle East is just downright silly. Jerusalem is the holiest city in the
1:59.1	world for three separate religions. Three separate religions are practiced there, maybe for the first
2:06.3	time. And what fascinates me is the way people coexist except the PR that we get is there's
2:15.5	nothing but fighting, there's nothing but rancor, there's nothing but anger and hatred and death
2:21.0	and violence. And in fact, what you see is collaboration, understanding and tolerance.
2:27.9	There is no solution that I can come up with in one show or 10 shows or one year or 10 years.
2:37.5	And to pretend otherwise would be a level of hubris that even I do not have. Certainly
2:44.7	going public and saying that I am assigning somebody and he will get peace in the Middle East,
2:49.4	you'll see is just it doesn't compute. Hard to get anybody to give in on anything when you're
