WEBVTT - O'Reilly: Dems Struggling - May 14th, Hour 2

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Alright, letard skinnered and simple man. That means only one

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>thing on this radio program, whether we are in Doha,

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Tar or whether we are in the Free State of Florida.

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 2>It means all things, simple man.

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.639
<v Speaker 1>That means all things Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>or billoreilly dot com. The only thing missing here is

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Bill O'Reilly, Mister O'Reilly, sir, welcome. I will tell you

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>Katar is a spectacular city. It is unbelievable and very,

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>very different than Saudi Arabia. I know you're well traveled

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>throughout your careers as a media personality and journalist at

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:50.160
<v Speaker 1>different times, but I will tell you it's beyond impressive.

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 2>How are you, sir?

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm okay. You hanging tap. You look a little tired

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 3>last night on TV, but you didn't sleep for twenty

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 3>four hours. I understand right.

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I did not sleep at twenty four hours, and you

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>know we were on the air at four am local time,

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and then this morning I was up at six o'clock

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to get back on the road again. And it's not

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>exactly been my day of napping. But with all that said,

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 1>it really is an honor to be here. Sure, it's

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>an honor.

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 2>To see this up close and personal.

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 1>We both have had these moments in our career where

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>sleep is secondary. And to give you know, to use

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>your words the folks of a first hand view of

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.559
<v Speaker 1>history and the making for me is a great honor

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and I'm very grateful. And I think these are all

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>big things that the President's working on. I'm watching what

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>happened in Saudi Arabia. I saw things that I didn't

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>think i'd see. I'm seeing the same things here in guitar.

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I do have my very strong belief that radical is

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and must be completely rejected. You can't turn a blind

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>eye towards it. I would like to see this part

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of the world align now with Israel in the West

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and the Abraham Accords, as the President has challenged. The

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:19.640
<v Speaker 1>President has been very clear on Iran. I was there

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 1>this well, my time this morning, when everybody else was

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>sleeping where you are. I heard the President warning of

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>new sanctions ahead of the Russia Ukraine peace talks, which

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I do hope takes place. These are not small items.

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>He's taken on every big issue in the world. And

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you know he showed some success with Indian Pakistan.

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 3>But what say you sir, well, there's a changing dynamic

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 3>where you are. I haven't been to the Gulf States.

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 3>I spent some time in Iraq during the war, as

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, Kuwait, Afghanistan, but editing it down to the

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 3>Gulf States, but it's a thing history there. So there's

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 3>no question of Wahabism, which drives the hatred toward the Jews,

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 3>and the West America is on the decline, and that

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 3>that's a key factor that the Trump administration understands that

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 3>under Barack Obama, wa Hobbism was was still very strong,

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 3>and the Sultans who run Cutter and Saudi Arabian Emirates,

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 3>they were afraid of the Hobbis. They were tetrified. That

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 3>has declined in conjunction with Iran. I don't want to

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 3>be too pennheady here, but Iran was always the money

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 3>behind the radical Islamis, and now Iran's on the ropes.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 3>So the Trump administration understands that global reality and has

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 3>basically said to the Gulf States, you need to throw

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 3>in with us, and by mention Israel, we don't need

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 3>you to love them, but we need you to treat

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 3>them fairly. And I think that all of the Guried

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 3>States at this point in history are going to do that.

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Does that analysis make sense?

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>No, it makes a lot of sense, because I can

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>tell you this. It is very obvious to me that

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 1>if there was if you take if we could extrapolate

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>out Iran from the entire equation here in the Gulf States,

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 1>if we could do that, there is no doubt in

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>my mind that Saudi Arabia, that Qatar, that the Emirates,

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that Egypt, Jordan, all of these countries would immediately sign on.

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>And now I spoke to people deep inside the Saudi

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 1>government about this. I was told this bill directly, and

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>they they they want to do it. That's that, and

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I believe what I was told was true true. Do

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>you agree with that.

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 3>Analysis, Yes, but you need to know why they want

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 3>to do it. It's not because they love America or

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 3>they certainly don't love Israel and the Jews. That's not

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:17.720
<v Speaker 3>going to change. But the people who run these countries

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 3>are realistic and they see that the threat from the

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 3>gis declined, and what they want most of all they've

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 3>always want, is to make money. You say that the

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 3>cities are spectacular, they are, but that doesn't fill their

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 3>down to the folks very much. A lot of poverty

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 3>in those countries. It's the royal family and the apparatunics

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.600
<v Speaker 3>attached to them that really benefit. And they build these

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 3>big spectacle cities and these airlines like Emirates, which some

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 3>consider best in the world, to get people to do commerce,

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 3>to buy their oil or buy their stuff. So it's

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 3>more of an economic thing than a well we've had

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 3>a conversion like America now, because we respect America's freedom.

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 3>There's no freedom in the Gulf States. You get out

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 3>of line, they're going to come and take you away

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 3>to quote Buffalo Springfield. But Trump is the ultimate capitalist.

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Trump speaks their language money wise. That is the reason

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 3>this stayton is now forming because they understand each other.

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think your analysis is right. I think it's

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>about money. But Bill, I would rather they care about

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:35.799
<v Speaker 1>capitalism and money. Now, it's interesting when you talk about poverty,

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>because you know, I've now driven extensively through these two countries,

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and I'll drive through the UAE tomorrow. And for example,

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 1>crime compared to the US, drugs compared to the US,

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 1>all of these sort of things. And don't mistake me,

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I am not for theocracy or the rigidity or the

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>lack of freedom that is associated with the culture and

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the more Ras and many of these states. And I

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>want to be very clear about that. However, it is

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>these Gulf states are ruled with an iron fist. But

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the folks, to use your term, are doing much better

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>because some of that money has in fact cascaded down

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 1>to the folks, and the poverty level has come up dramatically,

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>and people are doing much much better than they had

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>previously because we're talking about wealth that is unimaginable to

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>most people.

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 3>That's true, and that's a smart thing that the Shakes

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 3>have accomplished. But the two factors. Number one, if you

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 3>commit a crime in any of those places, you'll get

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 3>your hand cut off or you'll disappear. So these are

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 3>fascist societies, no due process.

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>By the way, if you were a citizen event any

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>of these places, they would have you. They would have

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>had you disappeared decades ago, we wouldn't exist. Well, if

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>they were listening to this radio, you know, it's shocking.

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Can I just divert your attention. It's shocking how many

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>people here and in Saudi Arabia know me.

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 2>It shocks me that they have watched me for years.

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>It shocks me that, you know, when I went up

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to the days when the President was with the Crown

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Prince and I was speaking briefly with Marco Rubio, as

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the President pointed me out to the Crown Prince and

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>made a joke, and the Crown Prince laughed, and then

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I said, nobody up here, mister President, knows who I am.

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 1>And the guy sitting to the right of the President said,

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you're Sean Hannity of Fox News. And the guy, oh,

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>he said Hannity, and the guy goes next to him,

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>You're Sean Hannity, a Fox News And that.

0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Kind of surprised me. Really, that would that have surprised you.

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I just got invited to speak to She's guys

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 3>in Beijing on the twenty eighth of May.

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 2>That shocks me, by the way, it was really nice

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 2>knowing your Bill.

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate our friendship, but I'd be very careful.

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 3>Log I'll talk to you that about I'll talk to

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 3>you about that next Wednesday. But with YouTube and with

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 3>social media now everything it just carries all over the world.

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.719
<v Speaker 3>And Fox News is still a big canon. I mean,

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 3>obviously the people who want to know what Donald Trump

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 3>thinks are going to be dialed into that. I don't

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.679
<v Speaker 3>think Rachel Maddow would be getting any hosannas over in

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 3>the Gulf States, if you know what I mean.

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, By the way, that might be the best line

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 2>you've ever heard.

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 1>She's not going to be getting anyanas over in the

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Gulf States.

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Rachel. But you know, this is what people don't

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 3>understand about Trump. He's not a politician. And one of

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 3>the reasons that I believe he's ultimately going to be

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 3>successful in bringing more prosperities of this country because he

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 3>doesn't look at things like Jimmy Carter looked at it

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 3>or Obama looked at it. He doesn't look at it

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 3>like that. He's not looking at well, how many votes

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 3>am I going to get in Missouri if I do this?

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.680
<v Speaker 3>He's not. He lives at it like how much money

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 3>is going to come into the United States if I

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 3>sell all these Boeing jets to cut her. I mean,

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 3>he didn't care about votes in Washington State, where Boeing

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 3>his base. He's a deal guy and in the Gulf

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 3>that is a huge advantage over these pinheads who come

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 3>out of the political science schools. Where the Arabs couldn't

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 3>care less about the electoral vote in Wisconsin. They respect

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Trump because they know Trump is a successful business person.

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, clickbreak, will come back more things with simple man,

0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Bill O'Riley. So he'll proclaim, simple man, all things are

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Riley A bill right. As we continue. We are in Doha,

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>we are in Qatar.

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:09.679
<v Speaker 3>A right, we.

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Continue now with all things simple man. That means Bill O'Reilly.

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>As we broadcast live from Doha, Qatar, you heard Trump

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>his very direct threat to Iran.

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I want the people to prosper. I want

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 2>them to prosper.

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I want but but they will never have a nuclear weapon,

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and they've got to dismantle their nuclear capability or there

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 1>will be action. And I think there is a hope

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 1>on their part that in fact, Donald Trump will do

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 1>the job that they themselves can't do. That's what I

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>think a big part of the equation is. And as

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>a consequence of that, we go back to where I

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>was before, and that is that that would result in

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 1>an unprecedented peace in the region, that would result in

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>them joining the Abraham McCord. It's the recognition of Israel

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. I mean that's certainly the hope. I think

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.439
<v Speaker 1>it is definitely a possibility.

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 3>I would not disagree with that. Trump is a symbolic

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 3>iron dome to the Gulf nations.

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>They know that by the way that that is, you're

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 1>a wordsmith. With that, you're on your a game today.

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:26.680
<v Speaker 3>He protects them from the tribalism because it's Sunni Shi

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 3>and all that stuff of Iran and they but even

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 3>more importantly, they know if Trump says Iran's not going

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 3>to get a nuclear weapon or they believe that he's

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 3>going to follow through.

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, pretty amazing times. I do want to talk more

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the next time you're on the program about your trip.

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>You are taking trip to China. When is that trip?

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to Japan first, then China than South Korea.

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 3>The Chinese government invited me to do a Q and

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 3>a A based upon my book The United States of Trump,

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 3>which I understand as a phenomenal bestseller in Beijing right now.

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 3>And they want to know.

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Of course it is Bill, I mean, how could it

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>not be. I mean, you're Bill, O'Reilly, Well, thank you.

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate the killing Jesus in China.

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Listen, I'm not surprised in all seriousness. That is fascinating.

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I really want to hear more about it. We'll talk

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>about it next week. And we do appreciate your time

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 1>over there.

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you're and iron man. I'm telling you, I

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.560
<v Speaker 3>would be in a Hammick someplace.

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Listen, We've been to many of the same places, you know.

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I've traveled to Israel and Iraq and Helsinki and Singapore

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and Vietnam and and you know, we're a very honored

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do what we do. And I'm

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>very grateful to our audiences collectively for giving us the

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to report on it firsthand. And I appreciate the

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 1>fact that you're always supportive. Thank you, my friend.

0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we'll talk next week.

0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Bike eight hundred is a number you want to be

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>a part of the program. As we continue. We are

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.440
<v Speaker 1>in Doha, we are we are in Katar. I'm looking

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 1>at a beautiful city skyline as we speak. Is it

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.920
<v Speaker 1>is pretty late in the evening right now. Hannity will

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>be at four am this morning, believe it or not.

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 4>Breaking news all afternoon. When you get off work, be

0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 4>sure to check in first for everything you missed during

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 4>the day. This is the Sean Hannity Show.

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Al right, twenty five now till the top of the hour.

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Eight sean our number. You want to be a part

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>of the program. We are in Doha. We are in Qatar,

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 1>very different than Saudi Arabia.

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 2>This is not a desert. It has water and oil.

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>By the way, very we healthy country known like the

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 1>UAE is as a vacation kind of playground for people

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>in the Arab world and around the world. I mean,

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, people from all over the world to come

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 1>here to vacation, et cetera. Far less stringent laws and rules.

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Linda would be a lot happier unless at risk, if

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 1>she were on the trip here in Doha, in Qatar.

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 2>You agree with that, right, Linda.

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that I am safe in the Middle

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.560
<v Speaker 3>East in any capacity other than the one democracy.

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Which is true.

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe true, But you have me and I would protect

0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>you at all costs.

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 4>Are we kung fu fighting in the Middle East?

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Bro?

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm down if that's what we're about, I'm all in.

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 2>If we kung fu fighting, what does that mean? If

0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 2>we kung fu fighting, what does that mean?

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 4>You know what it means.

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm here to party. Would you say to me that's right.

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm a woman, karate chop your ass.

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, listen, I want to remind everybody Memorial Day is

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.239
<v Speaker 1>right around the corner. The Fourth of July will follow thereafter,

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 1>and what flag are you going to be flying?

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Look, I hope you understand.

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>The last thing you want to purchase that comes from

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 1>another country or overseas is an overseas made flag with

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>fred edges. Do you really want to fly on Memorial

0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Day and on the Fourth of July a flag made

0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 1>in China?

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Because I don't.

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I have a durable, high quality American

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 1>flag that truly honors our country and these important days,

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and frankly, every day is an important day because we

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 1>live in the greatest country God gave men. And the

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 1>flag that I fly was hands sown in Charleston, South

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Carolina by true patriots that love our country, and every

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 1>part comes from right here in well I'm not here,

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 1>or it comes from America, our country, and I'm talking

0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.520
<v Speaker 1>about Allegiance flags of fly, and I'm flying my flag

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.000
<v Speaker 1>right now, my Allegiance flag. Except sweet baby James, he

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 1>hung it in the wrong place, so I have to

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 1>put it in the right place.

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:10.760
<v Speaker 2>So everybody can see it.

0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, you'll have time still before Memorial Day to get

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 1>your flag and fly it proudly. It's a flag to

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 1>be revered and you will be proud of it. It's

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 1>a great gift for any member of your family. Maybe

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you have a military member in your family. Maybe it's

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.400

<v Speaker 1>You know what's amazing to me is I read through

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 1>the news every day and it just does not go away.

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>What am I talking about the issue of Joe Biden's

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.200
<v Speaker 1>cognitive decline? What people knew when they knew it. I mean,

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>fake Jake Tapper is the biggest phony of them all.

0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>We have played that tape over and over again of

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 1>fake Jake literally going out there and saying, you know,

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 1>let me play this clash with Laura Trump and you know,

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.960
<v Speaker 1>over Joe Biden's obvious and clear cognitive decline. And we

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>talked about it before the twenty twenty election. It was

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:52.639
<v Speaker 1>on display for everyone to see, and everybody knew about it.

0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 1>Everyone denied what their eyes were saying. And even in

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three and four, these are cheap fake video.

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.360
<v Speaker 1>They're not cheap fake video. Was they're real videos. George Cloney,

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.679
<v Speaker 1>he didn't recognize me. I was shucked. They're full of

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Adam Schiff, to be honest, but it was transparent. Now

0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 1>this guy's trying to sell a book about Joe's cognitive

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.640
<v Speaker 1>decline and how the media missed it, needing how he

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.640
<v Speaker 1>missed it along with everybody else in the state run

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:21.720
<v Speaker 1>legacy media mob.

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.160
<v Speaker 5>Listen, what we see on stage with Joe Biden. Jake

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 5>is very clearly a cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to.

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:30.680
<v Speaker 5>It makes me uncomfortable.

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 4>I think it was so amazing.

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 2>It's so amazing to.

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.160
<v Speaker 5>Me that I'm trying to figure out an.

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 4>Answer cognitive decline. You're trying to.

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 5>Tell me that what I was suggesting.

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:42.720
<v Speaker 4>Was I think you were mocking his stutter.

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you were mocking his stutter.

0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 3>And I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:48.680
<v Speaker 3>somebody's cognitive decline.

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:52.800
<v Speaker 5>Is one last question you can't times on stage. And

0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.360
<v Speaker 5>it's very concerning to a lot of people that this

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 5>could be the leader of the free world.

0:19:57.960 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 4>That is all I'm saying. I jennuine thank you Lar

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 4>for Joe.

0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate it. I'm sure it was from a place

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 2>of concern. We all believe that. Laura Trump, thank.

0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:05.200
<v Speaker 6>You so much.

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Now, what's amazing about that? Oh, you're making fun of

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.360
<v Speaker 1>his stuttering? No, nobody was making fun of his stuttering.

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll be honest.

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I never once talked about Joe Biden having a stuttering problem.

0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 1>He had a cognitive problem, A very big distinction and difference.

0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:27.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's David Axelrod. Oh, people around him didn't

0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:31.199
<v Speaker 1>serve him well. Now, in one little bit of fairness

0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:33.720
<v Speaker 1>to David Axelrod, he didn't want He knew Joe Biden

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:34.200
<v Speaker 1>was a mess.

0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 2>He just didn't say it.

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 1>He went all the way around the edges, never came

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.920
<v Speaker 1>out and said this man has no business being president

0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:46.239
<v Speaker 1>the way we did and the way anybody in the

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 1>media should have done.

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.640
<v Speaker 7>Listen, I think one of the tragedies of this story

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.400
<v Speaker 7>is that Joe Biden served this country honorably for more

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 7>than half a century, did accomplish some very significant things

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 7>as president, but mistakenly thought that he was equipped to

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:06.160
<v Speaker 7>run for another term when I said, as I said

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.679
<v Speaker 7>back in twenty twenty two, he'd be closer to ninety

0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:10.919
<v Speaker 7>than eighty at the end of that term. And that

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 7>was just not sensible. And a lot of people around

0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 7>him did not serve him well because they reinforced his

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:21.960
<v Speaker 7>desire to run instead of protecting his legacy and him

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:25.560
<v Speaker 7>and by the way, also the Democratic Party in the country,

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 7>so you know.

0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't get a pass either. And then you got

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Chucky Schumer shutting down somebody on fake news. Cy and

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:37.560
<v Speaker 1>N's question about Biden's cognitive state. Chucky Schumer knew, Nancy

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Pelosi knew, everybody around Joe knew.

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 2>They covered it up.

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:47.439
<v Speaker 1>They lied because they just didn't want Donald Trump, and

0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:50.520
<v Speaker 1>they hate Trump way more than they care about telling

0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the American people the truth.

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:56.399
<v Speaker 8>Listen, you sat next to Biden in the Oval office

0:21:56.400 --> 0:22:00.080
<v Speaker 8>February twenty seventh, twenty twenty four, just a handful of

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.159
<v Speaker 8>months before the president took that debate stage, and it

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:07.600
<v Speaker 8>was later reported that you and other democratically about having

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:11.360
<v Speaker 8>a plan, you and Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama.

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 8>I understand you later denied that that ever happened, but

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 8>I am curious. I'm interested to know whether the man

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 8>that you saw us sitting there on that couch on

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 8>that day you were in there, you saw him up

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:26.120
<v Speaker 8>close and personal, did you really not have any idea

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.600
<v Speaker 8>that he was not fit to serve a second term?

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:31.520
<v Speaker 4>Casey, we're looking forward.

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:34.280
<v Speaker 1>We have the largest medicaid caught in front of us,

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:35.919
<v Speaker 1>we have the coll federal.

0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:39.199
<v Speaker 8>All this because you lost a presidential election, and is

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 8>that not Joe Biden's responsibility for deciding.

0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:44.560
<v Speaker 4>To run again. We're looking forward, that's it.

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 2>That's it, and not to be outdone.

0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Now the minority leader in the House, Hakim Jeffrey, he's

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:59.639
<v Speaker 1>asked about Biden not recognizing George Clooney, we're looking forward. Really,

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 1>what did you know and when did you know it?

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:05.160
<v Speaker 1>There really should be an investigation. I'll tell you why.

0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Because if a president has severe cognitive decline the way

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden did, it is a national security risk. It

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:20.719
<v Speaker 1>is a national security risk. It's that simple. All right,

0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to our busy phones as we continue. We

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:26.200
<v Speaker 1>are in Doha, we are in guitar. Let us get

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to our phones. We'll stay in Texas with Bill. Bill

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:33.320
<v Speaker 1>God bless Texas. Welcome to Qatar, and glad you could

0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 1>be with us.

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:36.879
<v Speaker 9>Hey, Sean, thanks for having me. I just wanted to

0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 9>comment on the shortage of the air traffic controllers. My son,

0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 9>he's a twenty two year old college graduate and he

0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 9>started the process to be an air traffic controller back

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:51.120
<v Speaker 9>in November and it's May and he still he still

0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 9>hasn't got that call to go to Oklahoma yet, and

0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:56.680
<v Speaker 9>we're waiting for him to get that call because he's

0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:57.760
<v Speaker 9>eating us out of the house.

0:23:57.880 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 2>So well, I just.

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm going to give you advice. My kids

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 1>are just a little bit older than yours. You know what,

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.520
<v Speaker 1>you're going to miss that these days. But with that said,

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:12.159
<v Speaker 1>when we end this call, stay on the line, and

0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to have my Katie take your number and

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I will pass it on to Sean Duffy. I had

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 1>very extensive conversations about the shortage of air traffic controllers

0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:27.080
<v Speaker 1>that he inherited from Pothole Pete and it's over three

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 1>thousand and for example, New Jersey is just an ou

0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:34.919
<v Speaker 1>mitigated disaster and that impacts the New York area, the

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:41.200
<v Speaker 1>metropolitan area, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, etc. So they need people,

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and I know they're going to try and extend out

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the age of retirement and maybe entice people to come

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:49.679
<v Speaker 1>back in that have all that experience.

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:51.320
<v Speaker 2>But people like your son are the people who are

0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:53.080
<v Speaker 2>looking for Yes, sir, so.

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think it's great that he want Why

0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:57.400
<v Speaker 1>does he want to be an air traffic controler?

0:24:58.560 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 4>He liked looking at maps.

0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:04.320
<v Speaker 9>He's always had a fascinating maps and in places, and

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:05.240
<v Speaker 9>he wants to.

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Enjoy.

0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:10.199
<v Speaker 9>He's not he's not a learning to fly or anything

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:12.880
<v Speaker 9>like that, but he just enjoys. Uh, I think he'll

0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 9>enjoy that that type of atmosphere, that that kind of

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 9>high stress.

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:17.679
<v Speaker 4>That comes along with that job.

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:21.000
<v Speaker 9>And so yeah, he started back in November and got

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 9>a i'm gonna call it the entrance exam. I'm not

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 9>sure what it's called, but he scored very high on

0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 9>Matt and then we thought it would just be a

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 9>short time before they called him up.

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.760
<v Speaker 4>But uh, it's it's may.

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:36.119
<v Speaker 1>You may be surprised, and I don't want to give away,

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you may be surprised at how quickly this whole process

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 1>will unfold. And I'm only saying that based on my

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:47.680
<v Speaker 1>conversation with Sean Duffy, who understands the urgency to get

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>people like your son behind those controls on the job

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.760
<v Speaker 1>sooner rather than later. So if you don't mind, Bill,

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:58.160
<v Speaker 1>stay on the line. Katie will take care of you,

0:25:58.240 --> 0:25:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to pass your number on to Sean.

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:05.639
<v Speaker 1>And his sense of urgency about this is beyond measure,

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 1>rightly so, and he inherited all of that. All right,

0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:12.919
<v Speaker 1>quick break right back, we'll continue. We are in Doha,

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>we are in Katar, and we'll get to your calls.

0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:17.920
<v Speaker 1>So straight ahead, eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn

0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 1>our number. As we continue Steve Moore on the Economy

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:22.360
<v Speaker 1>straight Ahead.

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:29.560
<v Speaker 4>The final hour roundup is next.

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:32.320
<v Speaker 3>You do not want to miss it, and stay tuned

0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:35.200
<v Speaker 3>for the final hour Free for All on the Sean

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Hannity Shows.

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:46.719
<v Speaker 1>All right, we continue our broadcast from Qatar. We are

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:49.439
<v Speaker 1>in Doha. Let's get back to our busy phones. Eight

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:52.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred nine four one Shawn. We have a great Hannity tonight,

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:55.719
<v Speaker 1>nine easter. Let me go to Cindy, Great State of Texas. Cindy,

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 1>how are you glad you could be with us in Qatar?

0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:02.160
<v Speaker 1>And what a side I'm looking at as I look

0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:06.520
<v Speaker 1>at this this city where bright lights and vibrancy, that

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:07.480
<v Speaker 1>is really amazing.

0:27:07.560 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 6>Actually, well, I just don't understand how come anybody hasn't

0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:13.679
<v Speaker 6>I mean, everybody's freaking out over him accepting a gift

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:18.920
<v Speaker 6>whenever nobody has even mentioned the fact that, you know, there.

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:21.919
<v Speaker 10>Could be a GPS system on this new plane. They

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:25.080
<v Speaker 10>could be trying to find out secrets. And I'm sure

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 10>President Trump is smart enough to dissect the whole thing

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 10>and break it all down. And why can't we just

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:35.400
<v Speaker 10>be grateful that? Okay, let's let's run with this. See

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 10>what happens. Worst case scenario, you sell it all for parts.

0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Look, the Air Force one and I have the honor

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 1>of traveling, as you know, and reporting on what's going

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 1>on on this trip. And this is the president's you know,

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:53.919
<v Speaker 1>first foreign trip in a second term, and it's a

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:56.320
<v Speaker 1>forty year old plane. And it's kind of hard to,

0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, think that America has a forty year old

0:27:59.080 --> 0:28:03.440
<v Speaker 1>plane for the president of our country. When I was

0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 1>leaving Saudi Arabia, I did notice that they had all

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:09.920
<v Speaker 1>of the Golf states that were there, and I did

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:15.880
<v Speaker 1>notice the planes of other states in the Gulf, and

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:21.360
<v Speaker 1>they were far newer or seemingly far newer and bigger

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:26.159
<v Speaker 1>than Air Force One. And maybe it sounds egotistical, and

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:27.960
<v Speaker 1>if it does to people, that's fine, But I think

0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the president should have the best, the latest, the greatest always,

0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:36.400
<v Speaker 1>because that's just who we are as a country. I mean,

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>we are the leader of the free world. End of sentence.

0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And as I always say, every single politician, Democrat, Republican

0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:47.240
<v Speaker 1>needs to be protected. And I don't care what your

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:50.600
<v Speaker 1>political affiliation is. We need to protect elected officials. And

0:28:50.640 --> 0:28:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I said that back in the Obama years, many many times,

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll say the same thing here is we need the latest, greatest,

0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:03.720
<v Speaker 1>best technology. No that we have enemies that are targeting

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 1>our country and our president.

0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:06.880
<v Speaker 2>So I think it's fine.

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Now there's a bigger issue in play here too, And

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I brought this up last night on TV. I brought

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:15.040
<v Speaker 1>it up on this radio show yesterday. And the amount

0:29:15.400 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 1>of protection that is provided to Qatar and Saudi Arabia

0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and UA is incalculable because not only do we sell

0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:30.720
<v Speaker 1>them and you'd say, well, we're just selling the military equipment.

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:34.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not that we're selling them the military equipment. And

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I watched you know the I think they're fifteens, eighteen's

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:40.200
<v Speaker 1>whatever they were on the side of each wing applying

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:43.800
<v Speaker 1>into each country. It's that we are giving them that

0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 1>technology and they wouldn't have anywhere near the security.

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 2>You can't put a price on that.

0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:52.240
<v Speaker 1>The last thing largest military bases right here in Guitar

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:55.840
<v Speaker 1>for the US in terms of the Middle East, the

0:29:55.920 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Kataris have spent eight billion dollars in terms of investing

0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:05.760
<v Speaker 1>money to build out that base. Nobody ever questioned that money.

0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 1>There is a Defense Alliance agreement between our two countries

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:16.280
<v Speaker 1>that far, the benefit far is far in favor of

0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the Kataris than it is America. And so it's trust me,

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a small price to pay, relatively speaking, for

0:30:24.240 --> 0:30:27.840
<v Speaker 1>what we're offering them. Anyway, God bless Texas. Cindy, appreciate you.

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.
