1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: A big peace summit underway in Egypt, hostages released, Palestinian 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,359 Speaker 1: prisoners handed over. So far, so good. Here's Trump addressing 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: is Rael's parliament today. This guy's are calm, the guns 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: are silent, the sirens are still, and the sun rises 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: on a holy land that is finally at peace. Right 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: Joining us this morning is Matt Tyrell, former chief of 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: staff for Marco Rubio's twenty sixteen presidential campaign. 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 2: Met. 9 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: Good morning, Good to have you on the show. 10 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 2: Great to be with you, Thanks for having me. 11 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: I know that the photo ops are happening. There's a 12 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: lot of grip and grinning going on. But is it 13 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: too early to say this is a peace deal? 14 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: Well, look, I think this is a piece deal. Obviously, 15 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 2: more work needs to be done. But the first step 16 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 2: and getting to this piece deal was getting these hostages home, 17 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 2: and it's great to see that happen here. So this 18 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 2: is a really an amazing thing to watch. The first 19 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 2: step to full peace in the region, really in terms 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: of end of this war as well, was getting these 21 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: hostages home. Obviously, more work needs to be done, but 22 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: you're seeing President Trump already underway. And the bigger element 23 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 2: of this is that this isn't just President Trump doing this. Obviously, 24 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: this would not be done, it would not be achieved 25 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: without President Trump. What he's done has been brilliant. He 26 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: put together a coalition of Arab and Muslim countries, for example, 27 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 2: to come to the table, put pressure on Hamas and 28 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: help make this happen. But ultimately, if it was of 29 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 2: a President Trump's leadership, this would not be happening. Right now, 30 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: you have a I think a great opportunity here to 31 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: the forge lasting piece. But this is a piece deal. 32 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 2: More work needs to be done, but a great dating 33 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: thesag is home. 34 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 1: There is a lot of talk this morning about who's 35 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: gets the credit that kind of thing. How's it playing 36 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: out in the media in America? Are they, you know, 37 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: are those more left wing outlets happy to say this 38 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: is down to Trump and congratulations mister President. 39 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: Well, look, you're even seeing Secretary former Secretary of State 40 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton and former Vice President Kamala Harris praise President 41 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: Trump in terms of what he's accomplished here. I think 42 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: Republicans and Democrats are like recognize that this was a 43 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: major challenge and look, throughout my lifetime, I've never seen 44 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: peace in the Middle East and you're seeing it now 45 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: today with the return of these hostages. And what you've 46 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: seen here is that this didn't happen overnight. You know, 47 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 2: President Trump has been working on this for months, and 48 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: even in his first term with the Abraham Accords, you 49 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: saw him making progress and trying to get peace in 50 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: the Middle East. But ultimately we saw on his second 51 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 2: term here was him go to the Middle East and 52 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: meet with leaders in Saudi Arabia, guitar the UAE. You know, 53 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: he's had relationships in the region but also also worldwide, 54 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: and you're seeing those leaders today in Egypt shaking hands 55 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 2: with the President Trump, you know, taking pictures with President Trump. 56 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 2: This was a brilliant move by the president. He put 57 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: together an effective coalition of world leaders to come together. 58 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: Par took me those world leaders in neighboring countries to 59 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: put the necessary pressure on Hamas and to help make 60 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: this day happen. But it started with President Trump making 61 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 2: these relationships happen. And it comes down and relationships. You know, 62 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: negotiation is about relationships. And President Trump has strong relationships 63 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: with these Arab and Muslim world leaders, strong relationships with 64 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 2: leaders around the world. That on top of that, you know, 65 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: the bombing on Iran. You know that that was instrumental 66 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: in helping you get here. So it's been a multipart 67 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 2: pron approach by President Trump. The credit goes to him, 68 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: the Secretary of Rubio, Steve Wickoff, Jared Kushner, Evanka Trump, 69 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: but with so many other people within President Trump's administration 70 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: who helped make this happen. It's been a team effort. 71 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: But again I go back to only one world leader, 72 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: in my opinion, could have gotten this done, and that 73 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: world leader's name is President Donald J. Trump. 74 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: Appreciate your time, Matt.
