Well, Jake Novak, the brilliant columnist,

It's Jake, Jake, N-Y at Twitter.

Jake, Jake, N-Y at Twitter.

Jake, Novak, how you doing?

I'm doing okay.

You know, the news is really rough to digest all the time. But I did, Mark, I did take a few hours out of it yesterday, and I went to that Jets game yesterday. So I had a pretty good day yesterday. I'll say that. Yeah, but what's the point? They'll have the greatest game ever. Then they'll lose next week. and then they'll have the greatest game and then they'll lose. It's just Jekyll and Hyde. It's ridiculous.

Well, that's why I don't bet on the games.

I just, I enjoy when I'm there, and I can forget about it afterwards. Oh. Hey, what do you make of this? Iran says they're prepared to release, or push Hamas, to release the 199 hostages if Israel stops airstrikes? Is that Iran blinking?

Well, it's a lot of things. First of all, let's not ignore the significance of the fact that Iran is now basically admitting to the world that they control the mob. Now, that may have been not news to

people like you and me, Mark, but a lot of people in the world didn't know that. And they also

don't know that that's a very unusual alliance. I mean, it's unusual historically over the last 10 years or so it's not unusual. You know, Iran, they're not Arabs. Iranians are not Arabs. They are Shia Muslims. Okay. And so for them to align with not only Hamas, but certain Syrian groups and certain groups in Yemen, just goes to show

that they are absolutely not interested. They are looking to take over parts of Sunni Islam as

well as some of their other enemies. So I don't want to go back that. But yes, they are blinking a little

bit because Iran, I think, is realizing something. If Hamas is destroyed, if Israel destroys Hamas, which they are able to do, then all those

other proxy armies that Iran controls, some of them I was just talking about, like Hezbollah,

the Uti rebels in Yemen, and all their other terrorist groups all over the world that they

control are going to say, hmm, maybe we better get another benefactor that won't get us killed.

And Iran is looking at that.
