Welcome to the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hey there, folks.

I have a friend and best-selling author in the studio.

Joel Rosenberg, welcome. It's great to be with you. Welcome to New York. Thank you. And great to be on your, it's not that new for you, but it's new for me to have been on your TBN set. It seems new. Yes. If you can watch this, folks, if you see this on video, which is very tough to do if you listen to it as a radio program. but if you see it on video you think wow what a beautiful room uh if you listen to it as a radio program. But if you see it on video, you think, wow, what a beautiful room.

If you listen to it as a radio program, which most people do, you're thinking, who cares?

Keep talking.

Shut up, Eric.

You have a book out.

Look, I don't know how to sum you up.

Fail political consultant.

You're an Israeli.

You're an expert on Israel. And I thought of this the other day. When I heard about, I guess, dust up is the term we're using, between former Prime Minister Netanyahu and Trump, I was, I've had a busy few days, so I almost couldn't believe

that that was possible. So for people who missed that or who want to understand what's going on,

what happened? Well, a week ago, a new book came out in Israel, only in Hebrew, but excerpts

began to be released in English. Our news service, all Israel news covered it. And the headline was

basically Trump Furious with Netanyahu tells Netanyahu, or says of Netanyahu, F him.

And you're like, whoa, whoa, wait, that can't be true.

You know, your first instinct is, this is fake news.

Well, there's nothing surprising about Trump using an expletive,

but the point is, why would he be upset with Netanyahu?

What is it possible that Netanyahu said or didn't say that would conceivably upset?

That's right.
