Good morning. It is Thursday, October 12th is five minutes after 11. It's Kendall and Casey on 93 WIBC.

Rob Kendall has left the building and in his place. Thank you, Brad Cloughenstein for coming in today.

Thank you, Casey. The annuals good to see again. Yeah, you too. We haven't talked in a while. We have a lot to catch up on

a long way to go in a short time to get there. Okay. Yes. In fact, the last time I saw you,

thing to say a precursor to something exactly because I think on a world stage, if you want to be

just the arbiter of peace, it is much easier to say, yes, Israel can defend itself, period.

And so I mean, it's one thing, I guess, to virtue signal to people here in the United States,

but effectively said, yeah, Israel, you've got this. But if you don't have it, we've got your back.

I guess it's good to know who your allies are, but on the other hand,

that is just one of those things that then gets other people riled up and upset with the United

States potentially needlessly. So there's a lot going on right now. You have the Israel
