00:00It's the dawn of a new Middle East. President Trump and Qatar for day two of his Mid-East
00:04diplomatic blitz, putting commerce over conflict as he cuts more economic deals and courts peace.
00:10Donald the Dove lifting sanctions on Syria and meeting with their new president,
00:13urging him to sign on to the Abraham Accords with Israel.
00:16He also signaled some wiggle room for a new Iran deal.
00:2047 also securing a historic $1.2 trillion economic commitment in Qatar
00:24and complimented them on the decor.
00:26As a construction person, I'm seeing perfect marble.
00:31This is what they call perfecto.
00:34We appreciate those camels. I haven't seen camels like that in a long time.
00:37Both tall, handsome guys that happen to be very smart.
00:41I want to make a deal with Iran. I want to do something if it's possible.
00:45But for that to happen, it must stop sponsoring terror.
00:49We are currently exploring normalizing relations with Syria's new government, as you know.
00:53I'm also ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria to give them a fresh start.
01:00And as Trump racks up trillions in deals from the Gulf states, all the Dems and media want to do
01:04is hound the press over a luxury jumbo jet offer from Qatar.
01:08My attitude is, why wouldn't I accept the gift?
01:12He does not believe in rules and laws and norms.
01:14He thinks they're for suckers.
01:17This flying grift or Khan Air Force One that this is all about is getting a $400 million aircraft
01:24for Donald Trump when he leaves the presidency.
01:27This administration is corrupt, full and through.
01:31It's kind of funny. It's a funny story, Kennedy, although it does give them something to talk about
01:36because everything in this trip is a win.
01:39It's just deliverables. Everything one after the other is a win-win-win.
01:44Here, you play with the little story about the plane.
01:47Yes, but if you read the left-leaning media, they're like, well, he hasn't really done any deals
01:52with Syria and Iran, and he called the new Syrian president a terrorist, a jihadist not long ago.
01:59But the plane!
02:00I don't think the plane is that great of an idea to accept because I think that if we are forcing Democrats
02:10and the Biden family, which was famous for decades of grift, and if we're holding them to account,
02:16then I think it's a political mistake to be doing something that could be construed as the same thing.
02:23Yeah, you've got to act better than your predecessor, even if you're in the right.
02:27Employ the political golden rule, which is if it's wrong for them, it's wrong for us.
02:31And why distract from the phenomenal wins that have happened over the last 10 days?
02:37You know, it's interesting, Dana. I was asked this question in the break, the other one, not that other one.
02:43He notices the camels and the marble. If they were to come here, what do you think they would notice?
02:49I would love. Please come with me and walk the streets.
02:54Why do you have so many people on the streets?
02:56Wouldn't it be fun if President Trump came and we were like, sir, can we walk, will you walk with me to my dance lesson today?
03:01Because you've got to see this and do something about it.
03:03Like, I'm dying for him to go on the subway and then it'll get fixed and that would be an amazing thing.
03:08I wrote down distraction. I'm crossing it off. No need to talk about that because she said it.
03:11I think this is remarkable what he's done with Syria. So, yes, yes, jihadists. Yes, prisoner at Abu Ghraib.
03:21Yes, somebody who got rid of Assad. Everybody forgets that Assad is cool in his heels in Moscow, hasn't been thrown out of a window yet.
03:28So I guess that's a plus for him. But in Syria, it's remarkable that President Trump would say, OK, I'll give you here's a deal.
03:35Well, if you meet these benchmarks, you've got to get rid of terrorism, you've got to do all the several other things and they're tough requirements, then no more sanctions on you.
03:46So this is a chance for Syria for the first time since 1979 to join the rest of the world.
03:51And you can see putting these pieces together. What I do like about economic diplomacy is that it is our superpower.
03:58We can use it very well. And they want to invest in America. We can invest in them.
04:02I think economic ties are very, very good. I also believe in medical ties and the health ties.
04:09Bow ties?
04:10No, bow ties I'm not really for. I mean, on some people, they're fine. Whatever. Bolo ties, though, I really like.
04:16The last thing I would say is we said that he said that there is wiggle room on Iran.
04:21But he says a lot of things about making a deal with Iran, but he does always say that they should not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
04:30But that gets sort of pushed to the side because people want to play and suggest that he is going to be willing to allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
04:40I don't think that's fair to him, but I think that the White House columns, people need to understand, and maybe they do,
04:45that he has to say that over and over again because the media or the left or whoever it is wants to try to pull him back from that red line.
04:54Harold, it seems that this is kind of the way Trump always viewed this foreign policy, all commerce, no combat.
05:02So I differ slightly. It's hard for me to differ with my pal Dana on a substantive issue.
05:07I do. I do. I do. I do. On the Syria thing, for this reason, I don't know where the national strategic security interests are and what we're doing.
05:18I take you at what everything you said. If they join the Abraham Accords, I'm talking about Syria.
05:24Yeah, I mean, Syria joins the Abraham Accords. But they have been. And we really we we we and he has the Saudis.
05:29Saudis also. The reason I say this is because the president says a lot of things the beginning of a week.
05:34And in a couple of weeks later, he says something different. We remember we had a lot of tariffs on a lot of countries and he suspended all of them for 90 days and kept the ones on China.
05:42And then things got wishy washy with the market. He took the things off China.
05:46And so we now have another 90 days for that. You take a plane from a group of people that we've set around this table.
05:53I've heard all of us say the Qataris, they harbor Hamas.
05:58I didn't hear him at all say, I'll accept this plan if you guys renounce this and tell me you'll never do this again.
06:04It all seems a little about about him. Now, he could be exactly right.
06:08I'm not suggesting the president's not right about this, but I don't understand how you go to a country and say to people in front of you, the 2020 election was rigged.
06:17I don't believe it was. But even if it was the people you're saying in front of Mr. President, they don't even have elections.
06:22The thing that troubles me the most is I think about it in an overarching way.
06:26I don't mind us resetting and talking about a recharge and a redo of our role in the world.
06:33But we are forced for good, for democracy, for rule of law, for decency, for righting wrongs.
06:39And if we're going to change that, I think we deserve to hear more than just the president being in a U.S.-Saudi conference,
06:46praising these men for the great work that they're doing and for the business deals they're doing.
06:50I love commerce as much as anyone. But commerce to me does not at all, is not at all greater than whom we are as a nation
06:57and what we mean for the 250 years we've been on this earth, because we've been a force for so much good.
07:02And I hope and pray we continue to be. And I just want to hear the president articulate how this does it.
07:05Well, you don't act that way with China. You're all high and mighty with the Mideast, but you don't act that way with China, Harold.
07:10I'm the one that acts that way with China. That's why I want to borrow this TikTok.
07:13You love China, you hate tariffs, and you want to do business with these people.
07:16You're not going to put me in with the communist China. You're absolutely wrong.
07:19Just it. Rewind it. Just put you in with them. And Dana is so right. What he's trying to do is create a peace and prosperity framework in this region
07:27so we can pivot away from it, go back to the Western Hemisphere, and realign ourselves into the Near East.
07:33Listen, if you peel Syria away from Russia and you lift sanctions and then you cut a nuke deal with the Iranians and lift the embargo and get the oil back online and tell the Saudis to pump more oil,
07:47it drives the price of oil down. It starves the war machine in Russia and forces Putin to negotiate with Zelensky.
07:55Then you sell chips and arms to the Saudis, and you get these guys to do business with Israel.
08:00You step back up with the Abraham Accords so everybody can trade with each other and trade with us, and then we all get rich.
08:08The only thing hanging up this thing is the Hamas situation.
08:12That one little thing.
08:13That just that one little thing.
08:14If Netanyahu can settle this thing, then the Saudis will come on board and we can all be fine.
08:20And on the plane, Harold, he's going to take the plane, and then you guys are going to do nothing about it,
08:25and the press is going to ride on it, and then if you win in the midterms, you're going to impeach him.
08:30So what?
08:31Okay, and then Kamala's going to win, and she's not going to go on the new jet.
08:35She's going to go on the one for 1990 because Boeing can't get it together.
08:39That jet will never be flown.
08:40Would you fly a jet from Qatar?
08:42You've got to take the whole thing apart.
08:43You're going to have to take every single piece apart and look at it.
08:46We can't even build a plane.
08:47You think we can take it apart?
08:49It is a Boeing plane, right?
08:50You know what Greg is really saying to you?
08:52In your face.
08:55Worse than Ikea, for sure.
08:56If Trump invites you to fly on the plane, you're going, Greg.
08:59I'm not going on a Qatar jet.
09:01Yeah, you are.
09:02Hey, Greg, come to Mar-a-Lago.
09:04You're going.
09:06In your face, Greg.
09:07Shut up, Jesse.
09:08All right.
09:09Up next, Dems thought they could Febreze him away, but the stench of Biden lingers.
