Last. Now on Qatar. Yesterday reports came out that the royal family of Qatar is set to gift
00:06
Donald Trump a luxury 747 from to use as his own Air Force, as his own Air Force One.
00:13
Without a shred of shame, Donald Trump will lecture families about putting up with higher
00:19
prices that he himself triggered and then accept a $400 million private jet from the Qatari royal
00:25
family. His shameless self-enrichment is without equal in American history. You cannot think of
00:31
another president who has been so brazen, so selfish, and so destructive of the norms of what
00:37
America is about. In truth, though, the news of the Qatari Air Force is just one tip of the iceberg.
00:45
For months, Qatar and other Gulf state nationals have spent billions on deals with the Trump
00:50
organizations to buy the president. Donald Trump is using his office to enrich himself and his
00:58
family. This isn't a question. This is a fact with incredible supporting data to prove it.
01:04
He is putting America's national security at risk to enrich himself. Just as concerning is the very
01:11
gift of the national security implications that surround it, the deeply chilling part of this
01:16
drive and national security betrayal from the president is just how blatant and erroneous what
01:22
he's doing. Almost daring Republicans to stand up to him, defend our country. Daring Republicans.
01:29
So where are our Republican friends with this kind of egregious, grubby, awful self-enrichment? Silence.
