Mr. New York, Marks-O-R.

7-10-W-O-R.

Well, Jake Novak, the brilliant columnist, and hey, make sure you follow him on Twitter.

It's Jake, Jake, N-Y at Twitter, and make sure you follow them on Substack.

Does great stuff every day.

Best coverage of Israel and other things.

It's Jakenovac.substack.com. Jake Novak, how you doing? I'm okay, obviously a rough day, it being October 7th, but, you know, a lot of good people in the last year have come out of the woodwork. Maybe not as much as the bad, but there's been a lot of good people, too, so I'm trying to focus on that, but yeah, it's a tough day, Mark. So when you see bad stuff coming from European leaders, the New York Times, that's no surprise we're used to that. But when it comes to White House not fully backing Israel, is that the first time this has ever happened?

Well, we saw a little bit of it when Obama was present. If you remember during the transition period between him and Trump, he engineered a historic abandonment of Israel at the UN during

those final months, if you remember that. So, and of course, this is the same team. The Obama team,

at least as foreign policy

is concerned, is very much in charge here and has been throughout the whole pseudo-presidency

of Joe Biden. So no, but this is an outrageous time. And as I've talked to you about before,

this is not about appeasing the voters in Michigan or Minnesota, although that is coincidentally part of it.

This is about an administration that is pro-Iranian, some of whom somewhat well-meaning who think that balancing power between Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Israel will bring peace in the region, which is an insane thing to think, because Iran has absolutely no interest

in any kind of statehood or peace. Their entire GDP as a nation is to destroy and to kill.

So why that, it makes any sense to them. And then, of course, there's the other group within the

administration who are paid agents of Iran, either ideologically, they hate Israel, they hate Jews,

so they support Iran,

or they're paid literally. I mean, Iran's got a lot of cash flow mark, and they're getting even

more now, the Biden administration, freeing up another $6 billion to them. So they have the money,

and they have the hate to work with, and those are two good things to have if you're trying to be

destructive, unfortunately. Now, Israel has been brilliant in this from the beepers to the, getting terrorist leaders. Supposedly Ayatollah is now afraid and is in hiding somewhere. Do we know that to be a fact? Yeah, I mean, the problem with him of Khamenea, he's been in ill health for a long time. We keep hearing about that. You know, it's the Hyman Roth effect. He's been dying at the same heart attack for 20 years, you know. That's the line from Godfather, too. But in his case, yeah, and that is problematic for him because no matter how rich or powerful you are, there are certain things you can only get at a hospital, right, Mark? I mean, they can't really bring the whole hospital to you.
