It is because we cannot solve our problems by making the same failed assumptions and repeating the same failed strategies of the past. Old challenges demand new approaches. Ive determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. While previous president s have made this a Major Campaign promise, they failed to deliver. Today i am delivering. Dana President Trump stressed israel as a sovereign nation with the right to determine its own capital. The president or the state department of beginning to move the embassy to jerusalem from tel aviv. In an attempt to ease concerns, mr. Trump wanted palestinians to know he remains fully committed to helping broker a peace deal. I also want to make one point very clear. This decision is not intended in any way to reflect a departure from our strong commitment to facilitate a lasting peace agreement. We want an agreement that is a great deal for the israelis and a great deal for the palestinians. I intend to do everything in my power to help forge such an agreement. Dana and historic day. Juan, you have covered this issue over many president s. The position of the United States now firmly ensconced in the promise that had been made for many years that the United States would make this recognition and today happened. Juan wright, part of that policy for the longest time has been a two state to solution. We would, with regard to jerusalem, have that as part of the negotiation, the ongoing negotiation. The United States, even with people like bill clinton who were all about moving the capital said, im sorry, the embassy said clearly that the reason they didnt do it was to preserve the United States as a fair and wellregarded arbiter on both sides. What we saw today was sort of a preemptive move. The Jared Kushner supposedly out there trying to make a deal of some kind. We havent seen much evidence that of any progress but we have seen now, the president , like a businessman saying lets shake it up. Lets put the palestinians on notice. If you dont like the way things are going, well, then you better get back to the bargaining table. Dana he wasnt the only one. The king of saudi arabia said to the palestinians they need to get on board. I think the president recognizes in the capitals in these countries they have to say what theyre going to have to say for their domestic audiences. This seems to be okay with the saudi arabians and others for an antiiran alliance. Kimberly i think so. I think thats whats behind this as well in large measure. This is something the president has been considering and contemplating for some time. There has been tremendous support from the Israeli Community to do this for the president to make this move. You have seen a solid friendship and alliance between netanyahu and President Trump that they work cooperatively. Theres a lot of Mutual Respect there. I think its a healthy and good thing for the United States going forward. I take him at his word when he says hes going to continue to try to broker a deal and work this out but sometimes you need to broker a deal with show of strength and a show of commitment and like i said, he has been saying hes going to do it and now in fact he has. Dana jerusalem was always the piece that was going to be the final bargaining chip but after several decades with nothing happening, maybe this is a way to get there. I didnt hear the president say he was against a twostate solution. Maybe this will push people to the table. Greg i dont know. You want to see a picture of a middle east expert . Kimberly a blank state . Greg is unsolvable. We keep talking about it as if its going to upset a Peace Process in the middle east. This Peace Process has been upset in the middle east since i was a child. If you want a Peace Process, palestinians, stop killing jews. Thats a start. Dana there state of objective is the destruction of israel. Greg all the democrats were for it. Now when the evil orange republican dysphoric, the medias going to say this is going to cause world war iii, world war iv, world war v. Its no different than anybody is saying. The most important thing is the change of address cards. I didnt do that when i moved, and i dont get any of my cat fancy issues. Dana no have your christmas cards. Jesse, what is your take . Jesse he got schumer and schumer and romney and Deborah DebbieWasserman Schultz and ted cruz to all agree so i guess its a good deal. We have a great relationship with israel. Our only real partner in democracy in the middle east and he fulfilled a campaign promise. I think his supporters are going to be happy better. I think our nato allies and Pacific Partners have to look at this and say this is the president of the United States doing what he said he was going to do, and that has to make them feel more comfortable. It is vintage trump. He actually does what he says hes going to do, and then theres a bunch of hysteria. But the hysteria is not always as bad as it seems like its going to be. I think he kind of relishes doing things other president s have said they are going to do or did or didnt do. Whether it is the Keystone Pipeline or cornering north korea or withdrawing from bad trade deals or treaties. I think he enjoys this. But you know what, hamas says they are going to unleash hell and there will be a day of rage. If you are a terrorist, you are always raging. I dont see much happening. Dana speaking of an ally, i want to get your take, juan, on turkey. Turkey is a part of nato but the president came out strongly against it there and said they will be fire inferior, basically what President Trump had said about north korea. And i will read abbas said these are a deliberate undermining of efforts to exert peace and represent a declaration of the United States withdraw from undertaking the roads played in the past decades and sponsoring the Peace Process. Could end up with the palestinians would have taken the deals that were on the table in the last couple decades. Juan i think thats what President Trump must be thinking. Shake it up. To go back to what you were saying, turkey is our ally. You have the turkish spokesman saying this is a redline for the muslims around the world. Specifically in the middle east. So when you think about whats different here, its not that the thought isnt is anything radically shifting from what democrats and republicans of set in the past. The differences that you do it as separate, a unilateral action apart from any negotiation. What does it signal, what does it mean . I was at the Reagan Library this weekend they had a defensive forum. You have people like leon paddock, mike pompeo from cia, even former secretary of state schultz. What they are saying is iran and russia are moving into a power vacuum in the middle east. You know how you have russia now a major ally of syria and others. We hear lots of talk from President Trump about, we are going to be more emphatic, involved. There is nothing on the ground. There is no actual policy so he makes this move that i think does please some part of his evangelical base, maybe some of the Orthodox Jewish community in this country which votes republican. In terms of israel, i dont know that all israelis are in support of it because they want more security for their country. Dana they were going to be attacked regardless. I want to bring up one thing that might get greg going. This is the pope. Pope francis. He said i cannot remain silent about my deep concern about the situation that has developed recent days and at the same time i wish to make a heartfelt appeal to ensure everyone is committed to respecting the status quo of the city in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the united nations. Everybody spoke up before the president actually gave his speech. He said hes okay with talking about the boundaries has they were discussed for east jerusalem. Greg i am trying to maintain a level of politeness about the pope. You knew this was going to set me off. You did this on purpose. This is an ongoing conflict over a religious claim over city. So its three teams arguing over homefield advantage. I will play the sport so i dont have to listen to what the pope says. I dont care about what the pope says. I dont think he helps in this situation. I think he should stay out of i it. I can barely control myself when he talks about Climate Change, so i dont want to talk about the pope. Jesse could you say the pope should but out of greg i did. You did that on purpose. Kimberly i disavow everything happening here. Greg the pope has an opinion and we have a right to respond to it. Juan theres a lot of opinion out there. Hamas, the pope. The united nations, turks, palestinians, germans. Gosh. His dana dont you think its possible, kimberly, after the shock of this announcement and people have time, if things dont become fire and fury in the middle east. Other nations will follow the lead and move their emphases to jerusalem as well. Kimberly i think there has to be a trailblazer and President Trump has always been comfortable doing that. I think this was a bold and decisive, historic moment. Israel is a sovereign state and they have every right to be able to decide and choose where their capitalism and where they want embassies to be. I think the United States is respecting their sovereignty and decision and their choice and honoring god. Jesse juan said theres a power vacuum in the middle east and iran is now in power. I think thats probably because president obama gave them trillions of dollars and withdrew precipitously from iraq. I also think this spurs the mideast Peace Process, whatever that means, greg, because everything they did before by putting this on the table, the jerusalem issue with Everything Else in the negotiation hadnt worked. I think what the president s doing is saying lets try something different. This makes everybody reengage, makes people come back to the table with a little bit more urgency. Dana i think they are sequencing. They make this announcement and then somebody on background from the white house said they expect within the next 12 to 14 months to have marva fleshed out plan. Then you have some time for her to take hold. Juan i think then you have to think of it in terms of, jesse said symbolic. It kimberly said its a historic day. I think of it as symbolic and a political gesture. We are not moving the embassy anytime soon. Hes going to sign another waiver that says the embassy will remain in tel aviv and then say every six months you keep doing it. He said, i think this is what the president s said today. It will take years before they can even think about it because they have to build it, find a contractor, land. Kimberly it is happening like the wall. Dana times person of the year.

While she was shopping for organic fruits and veggies, burglars broke into her shoe. They stole her kids Mountain Bikes and tablets along with her new juice press. Luckily the Geico Insurance agency had helped her with Homeowners Insurance. She got full replacement on the stolen goods and started a Mountain Bike juice delivery service. Call geico and see how affordable Homeowners Insurance can be. Juan Time Magazine named these highlands breakers its person of the year as we are seeing more fallout from the Massive Movement today. Six women filed a Class Action Lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein and his former companies. They say they are representing hundreds who have been harassed or assaulted by the disgraced movie mogul. Meanwhile al franken do to make a big announcement tomorrow following growing calls within his own party for him to resign. That comes, that call includes party leader Chuck Schumer who just released a statement calling for franken to step down immediately. What do you make of this, greg . Greg well, franken has another accusation from a woman who was at his radio show. This happened today. He lunged at her and tried to kiss her. He is denying that but i know two people that he has personally done this too. Two people i have known for a while. So the idea that this person that is accusing him is creating this incident with easily discernible details. She was at his radio show. She was working for a congressperson that she was gathering her stuff and he lunged at her. He looks at this is some kind of offensive comedic gesture thats his kind of tradition, thats his shtick, i guess. I think he has no idea how many times hes done this. I think tomorrow is his last day, and i think one of the strategies here is that if he is gone and moore is elected, then the democrats can say that only the republicans have sex pests. The democrats purge and the republicans protect. I think thats going to be their strategy. Its not a dumb one. Juan you have more than seven democrats, started with seven Democratic Women including patty murray who was kind of the Senior Leader among women in the democrats on capitol hill. Calling for franken to resign. This is a big shift from what we have seen in the last week. What do you make of it . Jesse it was about time. I think they ladies hard enough. I think they had enough when they saw the picture of him doing that but the latest allegation where he goes in for the kiss but the worst part, she denied him. He said im an entertainer. Im entitled to do this. I think this sums it up perfectly. Power is so intoxicating and when you continue to get away with it without any consequences, you are emboldened. When people surrounding you allow you to do it, it emboldens you even more. So that, with the me too movement, we were kind of joking around in the green room the other day. When are we going to see a backlash . People are talking about this and we were talking about, when women sometimes make a joke about a man, are they going to be held to the same standard men are held to . Are we going to see next possibly a woman being accused of harassing a guy . Greg there is one. A woman from the voice. I read too much gossip. Jesse i think this is going to swirl around. Who knows where its going to go but i think everyone is awake to it right now thats a good thing. As long as youre conscientious of what youre doing and what youre doing is wrong, i think theres going to be a lot of progress. Juan kimberly, heres what strikes me. Now these allegations, and ive got to check out what greg was talking about the terms of the most recent one, took place when franken was a wasnt an elected official. It was before he was elected to office. I heard from democrats this is different than things that have happened with people who are in office or like conyers was using office funds to pay off a woman. What do you think is a larger . Why did these Democratic Women rush on franken . Kimberly i think there really is no tolerance for this kind of behavior and if he is a public figure and representing the people and this is somebody my dana and i were talking about, considering probably a run for president. Dana there goes my prediction. Greg not really. Kimberly anyway. I think they want to make a strong stand. Kamala harris coming out saying this conduct and behavior cannot be condoned and or abided by. To me its not a surprise, especially given the cover of time, the mood, the focus on these issues right now. Its very, i guess its resonating in terms of the public and youve seen it across all different professions. I think this is something that wasnt surprising, especially with a new accuser. I think when you see schumer as well calling for it, lets see what happens. Tomorrow hes making an announcement. Juan what do you think of the time selection . Me too, the hashtag is the person of the year. Dana they had a lot of good options for the possibilities. It was such a year of consequence. 2017, easily President Trump could have been the one. I think the king salman of saudi arabia, he won the poll. This movement is a big societal changing event, i think it made sense. I think for franken, the only way to make this end is if he resigns, for himself, him and his family. There might be more accusers who, but hes putting his family through a lot. The minnesota voters deserve better. If hes going to resign, he might not wait until tomorrow. The other thing i would mention. We lead with talking about Harvey Weinstein. That New York Times piece today. Five different reporters. If you havent read it, you should. Or listen to the daily podcast. What he was making people who worked for him to in order to have, get this done. They called it the complicity machine. It is so chilling. That someone would think of that. People who brought it up to h. R. , they got f
