0:00.0 | All right, everybody. Welcome to episode 149 of the all in podcast with me. Again, David |
0:07.3 | Sacks and Jamal Polyhapatia, David Freeberg couldn't make it this week. We're going to carry |
0:10.8 | on without him. And it's a difficult week. So just a quick opening statement from me about |
0:16.5 | this episode, like all of you, we're devastated by the terrorist attacks that occurred in |
0:20.8 | Israel on Saturday. And I just want to start the discussion here with two important housekeeping |
0:26.1 | notes. First, this is obviously a very dynamic situation. And we're dealing with the fog of war, |
0:31.7 | quite literally. So we're going to do our best to make sense of what's happening, but things will |
0:36.0 | change between when we tape this episode on Thursday. And you choose to listen to it in all |
0:41.5 | likelihood at some point over the weekend. A second, there are going to be some folks out there |
0:46.0 | who claim quite correctly that we are not the experts on this topic. And thus we shouldn't chime |
0:51.8 | in with our opinions on the other side. The all in community has told me explicitly they want to |
0:57.1 | hear us discuss what happened. And they want a sense of normalcy. As one loyal listener explained |
1:02.4 | to me last night at a dinner, the fact that the four of you can debate hard topics, listen to each |
1:06.6 | other. And in the end, have a deeper understanding of the world gives me hope every week. That's why I |
1:10.4 | listen. So we'll do what we do here every week. We'll have the hard discussion. We'll listen to |
1:16.0 | each other deeply, hopefully. And we'll try to understand the world in each other just a little bit more. |
1:21.5 | And that's worth it, at least to me and apparently many of you. So with those two quick |
1:26.1 | disclaimers, gentlemen, anything you want to say upfront before I recap where we are five days |
1:31.8 | into this senseless brutality. I think that was a pretty good intro, Jason. I mean, you're right. |
1:37.6 | We're taping on Thursday, late morning, Pacific time. By the time this drops, it'll be Friday. |
1:44.8 | And so a lot could have happened. Also, it's true that the Middle East in general in this topic in |
1:49.4 | particular is hugely complicated. We will be accused of not being experts, but at the same time, |
