Summary
The brothers discuss the extent to which Trump represents a possible shift in US policy in the Middle East, contrasting the possibility of new deal-making in the Gulf region and elsewhere (Iran, Syria) with the retrograde pull of Zionist pressure to extend the genocide in Gaza and derail the drive towards profit-driven capitalist stabilization in the region.

| 0:32.6 | Everything else is going in a different way. These designers want to go backwards. They're stuck in |
| 0:36.9 | reverse. They can't |
| 0:38.1 | think in progressive terms. It's not, they just not, they literally don't have to function like that. |
