Guest
They discuss stalled Saudi-Israel normalization, Tishby's theory that Iran orchestrated the Hamas attack to derail it, praise for MBS's reforms, and a tangent about Tim's affection for opulent Gulf aesthetics versus his Prius.
- Israel is the only country in the region that shares American values and is the true stabilizing ally, while America has backed Saudi Arabia despite them never sharing those values.
- MBS is trying 1,000% to change Saudi Arabia, and there's a noticeable difference on the street in how the country operates now.
- Tim is a fan of Saudi Arabia and appreciates that it never had vaccine or mask mandates, comparing the Persian aesthetic to a culture of displaying wealth openly.
- Hollywood has dueling letters—one group calling for ceasefire, another demanding the release of hostages held in Gaza.
- Over 230 hostages including 30 children under 16 were taken from their homes in Gaza, with parents shot in front of their faces, and Hamas needs to release them immediately.
