In this monologue, the speaker reports on former President Donald Trump's recent remarks suggesting that Palestinians should be permanently relocated from the Gaza Strip, with the United States assuming control of the devastated territory after more than 15 months of Israel‑Hamas war. Trump also urged neighboring Jordan and Egypt to take in displaced Gazans and emphasized that Israel should not have to coexist with what he termed "terrorists" on its border. The speaker strongly backs Trump's stance, condemns any Palestinian return, criticizes Israel's past land concessions, and praises the notion of removing Gaza's population, framing it as a necessary response to the October 7 attacks. The commentary is framed as a personal opinion piece, with the speaker acknowledging potential offense to some listeners.

All right, hat tip to Hill. Trump on Tuesday suggested Palestinians should be permanently— and guys, I do have to say, I had audio and video, but I sent it to the team too late. I wanted you to hear some of that. We just may not have time to get to it. It's okay, uh, I'm good. I'll bring you the news, right? I'll bring it. I'll bring you the summaries here. So Trump on Tuesday suggested Palestinians should be permanently relocated out of the Gaza Strip and that the United States should take over the territory after it was reduced to rubble by more than 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas. And you heard Trump say, listen, I don't think anybody should live in these conditions. You know, all it is is a bunch of— it's basically a demolition site, a bunch of concrete everywhere. It's not what it used to be. So, but also, I mean, he sides with Israel. Israel shouldn't have to put up with terrorists on their border. I mean, it's as simple as that. All right, Trump, who was alongside Netanyahu during a White House visit, doubled down on his suggestion that neighboring Jordan and Egypt take in those from Gaza. But Tuesday was the first time Trump was more clear about Palestinians not returning to their homes in the coastal enclave. Now, Saudi Arabia thinks that they have something to say about it. They don't. That land is Israel's. And in my opinion, I'm sorry, I'm going to offend some of you. Israel stupidly gave up that land. I would have never done that. There's no way. You're not going to pay. You can't pay me enough to live next door to a murderer. But anyway, they did it because they're kind, good people, and they did it. And unfortunately, on October 7th, They paid the ultimate price for it. And so they shouldn't have to tolerate that crap again. And I'm glad that Trump is standing up to this nonsense.
