00:00Hopefully, some resolution will come, and that will be for the Palestinian people.

00:06Everybody certainly hopes so, but I mean, thinking about it, since Netanyahu is the one who nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize,

00:15so maybe, I mean, with some concessions from the Israelis, a bit from Hamas, he can help Trump gain, basically, such a Nobel Prize.

00:26But I want to go back to that issue specifically. I think, Joe, know that there is a possibility as well,

00:33if we look back when President Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:38What was that even for?

00:40I'm coming to that. He got it in 2009, just one year after he took office.

00:45He is the only American president who actually was awarded this prize while he was in office,

00:52and he got it for extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people,

00:59which is extremely vague.

01:01It's very vague. It's very loose.

01:03So, I mean, if Obama got it for that reason, and actually, President Trump commented on this,

01:08and he said even Obama doesn't know what he got it for, maybe there's a possibility.

01:13I'll see.
