| 0:00.0 | It's the Brian Marishel on WNYC. Good morning, everyone. We will get two perspectives |
| 0:13.4 | on the Middle East to begin the program today. Later this hour, the Palestinian, Jordanian |
| 0:18.7 | American journalist and college professor Rami Kuri, first Brooklyn and Manhattan congressman |
| 0:24.5 | Dan Goldman, who will join us in just a minute. Goldman, as some of you know, is in Israel |
| 0:29.8 | when the attacks by Hamas began over the weekend, he will tell us that story, but also talk |
| 0:35.7 | about policy responses as he sees it. The range of policy responses that are possible |
| 0:41.6 | are preferable by the United States. I can give you this program note now, which is that |
| 0:47.7 | we will carry President Biden's statement or speech. We'll see how long it is to the |
| 0:53.6 | nation regarding the Israel-Hamas war. That's scheduled for one o'clock this afternoon by |
| 1:00.5 | the White House, and we will carry it. We also can take your phone calls, listeners, and I know |
| 1:08.8 | this is personal to many people in our area. Many people with ties to Israel, in our area, |
| 1:15.8 | many people with ties to Palestinian communities in our area. So listeners, if you know anyone |
| 1:22.5 | in Israel or anyone in Gaza who's been killed or injured or is suffering, I guess they're |
| 1:31.3 | all suffering, even if they're not very directly affected, feel free to call in. 212-433-WNYC-212-433-9692 tell |
| 1:44.4 | the story of anyone you know who's over there, or say what you think can be done to end the |
| 1:50.9 | violence with security and justice, or win the freedom of the hostages, or ask Congressman |
| 1:58.0 | Dan Goldman a question, 212-433-WNYC-212-433-9692, and Congressman Dan Goldman does join us now. |
| 2:09.6 | Congressman, it's horrible that it's under these circumstances, but welcome back to WNYC. |
| 2:14.1 | Thanks very much, Brian. Good to be with you as always. Can you tell your constituents and other |
| 2:19.8 | listeners, first of all, where you were and why and what it was like for you and your family |
| 2:25.8 | when the attack began? Sure. We had a family trip planned for a bar mitzvah cousin of ours |
| 2:34.2 | last week, and we were in Tel Aviv toward the end of the trip. I actually missed the bar mitzvah |
