Show. I'm Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton. And of course, you have the deadline

from last night, guys, that, well, we have a two-week ceasefire. So this is a really interesting development. We were kind of speculating on yesterday's program. What's going to happen? What's going to happen? Well, here we are. We got a two-week cease fire. It looks like that's going to be good economically opening up the straits. But what does this mean, you know, does this mean like we've agreed to not bomb anything? What, what happens for two weeks?

I mean, it's a ceasefire in the sense that they made enough progress that Trump is willing to give

them some more grace. Had they dug their heels in and not done anything, not made any progress,

he would say nothing's happening.

We're going to make something happen. So I think there's enough yielding on their part. Now, publicly,

what they're saying publicly is still hard line. You know, we're not going to back down to this.

But I think there was enough in the negotiations that he would back down because he has not shown

any proclivity to not

keep his word when he when he puts a threat out there which what which is what makes his threat

such a big deal yeah and it's one of the things too that has made Trump so different than any

president in our lifetime is when Trump says he's going to take out a bad guy he takes out the bad

guy uh and you know guys even going back to like what

happened to Venezuela, when, if you are a bad guy leader somewhere in the world, you have a reason

to be fearful at night when you go to bed. If you are challenging or threatening Donald Trump.

And one of the things to you guys that struck me as interesting is not only did the

U.S. agree to this, Israel agreed to it as well. Because there were other times that America agreed to

stop some of the bombing and Israel kept going after it. And so the fact that they recognized to,

there is something happening right now that is worth the conversation. And, you know, Rick,

you and I were on Flashpoint last night. And one of the things that struck me about this is it reminds me a little bit of maybe even Japan from World War II where Harry Truman's like, look, you guys need to stop.
