israel, it s not good for the people of gaza. so we do not support that. the prime minister did offer some encouraging words about a possible hostage deal. we are following all the developments there. and the clock is ticking to a friday deadline for a government shutdown. and then you house speaker s hail mary seeming to be deflating by the minute. donald trump once his core tv, demanding cameras for his upcoming trials. plus this you think donald trump is a great president, president? i think donald trump is the king of the world. you ll find out. you think it was a great president? he did and credible job. he did an incredible job and anyone who said he didn t, something s wrong up here. our friends at the good liars, live this hour with what they heard from the maga faithful and trump s legal issues about trump s legal issues, that s coming up later in the hour as well. we begin this hour once again in the middle east and the israel hamas war whe
argued they want a speedy trial, and they want it to happen soon, and as soon as january of next year. now, if you are comparing that to what donald trump s lawyers are asking for, it is radically different, because they want a trial tro start in april of 2026. there is a lot of daylight between the two sides and a judge is going to have to make a call to see if she gives donald trump more time to prepare. they argue so much evidence, the former president s team, there is so much evidence that they need years to prepare and give their client a fair trial. jack smith says they need four to six weeks to present all of the evidence in the case, so we will see which side ultimately the judge lands on, but this case has already been weighed down in controversy, and the judge has warned donald trump that his status as a criminal defendant does take priority over the priority as a presidential candidate, and the politics of the case will come into play as the timing is considered. you know, i

escalating much more than it otherwise would be. i mean, more of the of the stuff that s fired lands on harmlessly on the desert and less populated areas. the hardware and software extremely sophisticated developed by israel can determine exactly where it s going to hand and launches a strike on that oncoming missile. a way to keep things from escalating too much. as i know you ve heard, six the spokesman for israel s prime minister says a ground invasion of gaza is on the table. so how much more might this conflict escalate? how much bigger could this get? if it goes to a ground invasion, that would escalate quite dramatically. it would probably be a bad idea for the israelis to do so. even though they ve called up a fairly substantial number of reserves. the first is nobody wants to fight in gaza in the cities house to house.
