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

Folks, I warn you. I warned you that Joel Rosenberg would be on this program. And when I warn you,

it's going to come true. I prophesied it. Here he is. Folks, here he is. Joel Rosenberg from

Jerusalem. Le Chaim, what's up? Le Chaim, it's great to be with you. I'm in New York. We just got

right of Passover and happy Easter. And it's just great to be with you again, Eric. It's been too long. It's been, I with you. I'm in New York. We just got to write a Passover and happy Easter.

And it's just great to be with you again, Eric.

It's been too long.

It's been, yeah, I don't know why. Like, it's, it's been a long time. Normally, you're cranking out these books and stuff. And I, I'm amazed that you keep writing these astounding thrillers. The new one, just so people know, the headline, it's called the Beirut Protocol.

And it sounds like a kind of a creepy thing that doctors would. The new one, just so people know, the headline, it's called the Beirut Protocol.

And it sounds like a kind of a creepy thing that doctors would threaten you with.

Like if you don't take your vitamins, we're going to have to resort to the Beirut Protocol.

And you know what that is, don't you?

You don't want the Beirut Protocol.

It's very invasive, very uncomfortable. So I want to talk to you

about the Beirut Protocol. Like everything you write, it's ripped out of the headlines. I'm trying

to think. And I want to talk to you about what's going on in Israel right now. You do live in Jerusalem.

Obviously, I live in New York, almost as Jewish, not quite,

but we are, we're following closely what's going on over there. Why don't we start there, Joel?

You, you know, you do write books that seem ripped out of the headlines because you stay

very closely involved. You are an advisor to Netanyahu. What is happening right now,

for those of us who are just not paying attention? Okay, so we're going to deal with the real

world and not fiction for a moment, right? For the real world first and then fiction. Yeah.
