1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: All right, thanks Scott Shan In our two Sean Hannity 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Show toll free it is eight hundred and nine point 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: one Shawn, if you want to be a part of 4 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: the program, as we come to you, we are in Riad. 5 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: We are in Saudi Arabia, undisclosed location. As for security 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: now I'm kidding anyway, Thank you for being with us. 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: It's been an amazing trip, as I went over in 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: the last hour. Then, of course we have the big issue, 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: the last American released hostage that has been released from Israel, 10 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: and this trip, which I think is historic to Saudi Arabia, 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: Qatar tomorrow and the UAE and Abu Dhabi, and we 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: will be on every leg of that trip. Mister speaker, 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: we talk a lot about transformational and consequential. Every one 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: of these issues is transformational and consequential. And I forgot 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: to mention that we expect Putin and Zelenski to be 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: meeting on Thursday of this week. 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: Well, and meanwhile, back at home, the House is steadily 18 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 2: moving forward on that gigantic budget bill that really is 19 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: at the heart of Trump's economic plan. So you have 20 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: a lot of different moving parts. I think the most 21 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: fascinating thing I'm going to write about this for The 22 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 2: New York Sun later on this week. Is the center 23 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 2: trip by a president which is focused, frankly a lot 24 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: more on economics than on geopolitics. I mean, I think 25 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 2: his goal and part is going to be to get 26 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: huge investments in the United States, made some very big 27 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: sales for American companies, and significantly improved the American economy. 28 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: That is an enormous shift from the way presidents from 29 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: nineteen thirty nine on went around the world. Historically we 30 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: were so wealthy and so big. They go around the 31 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: world giving away things and focusing virtually everything on geopolitics 32 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: and nothing on economics. This is going to be exact opposite, 33 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: And of course he he today. I thought, very boldly, 34 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: here's a little surprise they did it, called on Saudi 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: Arabia to recognize Israel. Now, you know, he is a 36 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 2: very good relationship with the royal family, and I think 37 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: thrilled that for the second time visiting Saudi Arabia is 38 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 2: the beginning of his foreign travels as it was in 39 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. But it's also in terms of publicly just 40 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: coming right out, I think probably was a little bit 41 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: startling to them that he was so strong and so 42 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: clear that he wants them to recognize Israel, which I 43 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: think is a big step in the right direction. 44 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: The untold story of his first term, or one of 45 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: the untold stories of his first term was and it's 46 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: a little secret, and a lot of these countries are 47 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: too vulnerable to the military mic that is the Iranians, 48 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: so they don't take them on directly. And I'm not 49 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm not putting aside. I'm not casting aside past sins, 50 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: the past past associations, any of that, and I think 51 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: that does need to be discussed and pointed out. But 52 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: there was an achievement in his first term where the 53 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: United States, Israel, Jordanians, Egyptians, Emirates, the Saudis all united 54 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: together and we're sharing intelligence. And they had one goal. 55 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: It was against Iranian hegemony in the region. And now 56 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: there is an urgency to ensure that, in fact, the 57 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: Iranians don't get a nuclear weapon. Now I have my 58 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: interview tonight, but it's going to be part one. I 59 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: asked the President directly about this question or layered either 60 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: tonight or tomorrow, and I will tell you that the 61 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: President is steadfast. They're not getting a weapon, mister speaker, 62 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: and I've known him thirty years. If he says it, 63 00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: I believe. 64 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 2: Them, Yeah, I believe. I worry frankly that the traditional 65 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: bureaucrats and the traditional diplomats will try to find some 66 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: weasel word that allows them to sort of keep the 67 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: potential and not push them to the wall. But I 68 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: think so, I think Trump's intent is clear that we 69 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 2: want to eliminate any possibility the Uranian dictatorship being able 70 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: to get acquire a nuclear weapon period. And I think 71 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: if he's if he's tough enough, I think that in fact, 72 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: they will see that they'll succeed in doing that. Well. 73 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: Well, either they stop in Richmond with anywhere, any place, 74 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: anytime inspections and they break down the nuclear facilities, or 75 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: probably is not a deal that would ever work. 76 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: Right, And remember we just discovered a huge secret nuclear 77 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: facility that none of us knew existed. So, I mean, 78 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 2: trying to police the Iranian dictatorship is a big challenge. 79 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 2: It can be done, but we're we're asking them to 80 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: be open to foreigners on a scale they never dream of. 81 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: So it counts me as thinking that in the end 82 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: we may have to use force just because in the 83 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: end it may be too big a stretch for them 84 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: inside their own culture to give in under this. You know, 85 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent there, but I have a 86 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: hunch that it's going to be more difficult. And I 87 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: think Trump's finding that out. Franklin Gauz and he's finding 88 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: it out in Ukraine. It's dramatically easier for an American 89 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: president to reshape the United States than it is for 90 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 2: them to reshape historical situations where you have opponents who 91 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: are quite prepared to die for what they believe in. 92 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: Back to your point about this being a largely economic trip. 93 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: So we land in Saudi Arabia and I'm reporting from 94 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: Air Force one, and we have a lot of great 95 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: tape that we're going to run during the week on 96 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: Hannity at nine o'clock, including you know, part one on 97 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: my interview with the President tonight. But we have other 98 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: guests as well. And anyway, we land and within an hour, 99 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: I'm in a room with the top every big business 100 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: that every American would whose name they'd recognize. I didn't 101 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: realize that at the time because I'm at a table 102 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: with people and it was a mix of people from 103 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, business people, foreign ministers, and cabinet officials. I 104 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: was sitting next to the longest running cabinet official in 105 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, and they're all there, and the president's cabinet 106 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: is there, and the Crown Prince's cabinet is there. It's 107 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: a who's who of business. I mean, when I read 108 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: the entire list, I was stunned about how many people. 109 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: Every big company in America that you can think of 110 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: probably was here. That's how big it was. What is 111 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: your reaction to that, Well, I do a peace fright, 112 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: and then why would they ever invite me to such 113 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: a dinner like the lunch like that? I mean, that's 114 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: a that's the mystery of the century. 115 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 3: No. 116 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: No, that's a simple commentary on how much he regards 117 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: you as a personal friend of what thirty years experience. 118 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you're in a unique position inter 119 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: of anybody in the news world in terms of how 120 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 2: close you are to him and how candid and deep 121 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: the friendship is. But I think what you're saying I 122 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: wrote about this a little bit on Friday when I 123 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: wrote a piece called to the becoming Trump Economic Boom. 124 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: What Donald Trump is a businessman who is now president, 125 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: but he has all the instincts of a very successful entrepreneur. 126 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: He is able to call and work with entrepreneurs, he 127 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 2: knows their language, he knows what they're dealing with, and 128 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: offering everybody a chance in his first year of his 129 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: second presidency to be on the ground floor and potentially 130 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: make a huge amount of money and invest an enormous 131 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: amount of America. And if we can get this the 132 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 2: budget through in the next couple of weeks, I think 133 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: you're going to see just an enormous impetus because between 134 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: the tariff negotiations, the dramatically lower taxes, the very dramatic deregulation, 135 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: America is going to become the best place in the 136 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: world to invest in. And frankly, one of the groups 137 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 2: that has a lot of money to invest to the Saudis. 138 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,599 Speaker 2: So there's talk that they're going to commit to a 139 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: trillion dollars invested in the US over the next decade. 140 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 2: Now that's real money. Now. 141 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: I want to go back to a point I was 142 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: making earlier, which is that a lot of these countries, 143 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: I think, have had to thread this needle of radicalism 144 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: within their ranks, and yet their desire to pivot to 145 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: a to a modernization that is rooted in economic growth, 146 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: wealth prosperity for all people. You're not going to change 147 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: people's religion. You're not going to change their culture. You know, 148 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: those people that think those things I think, you know, 149 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: are just it's never going to happen. And you know, 150 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: like this whole issue, for example, is a Qatar gives 151 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: this plane to President Trump, and I looked at the 152 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: deal on the surface, and then I started to do 153 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: some research. And what did I find out? The US 154 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: right now has over twenty six billion dollars in active 155 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: government to government defense sales with Katar. That's happening right now. 156 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: For context, the Foreign Military Sales Program allows the US 157 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: government to sell military equipment, training services to foreign government 158 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: and organizations. Currently about one hundred and ninety countries international 159 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: organizations participate. But the recent sales to Qatar, and by 160 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: the way, the same thing goes for the Saudist as well, 161 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: include their most sophisticated military technology. Let me put it 162 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: another way, mister speaker, maybe a little bit more bluntly. 163 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: This plane was not given and I know people have 164 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: made comparisons to the Bidens. This was not to enrich 165 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. If not for the United States, they would 166 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: not have security in this region. The Saudis wouldn't have it, 167 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: Qatar wouldn't have it, the UAE wouldn't have it. And 168 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: in many ways, I feel like that's part of the 169 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: relationship because we are saving their country. We're helping to 170 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: save their country against radicals that also want to destroy 171 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: them too. 172 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 2: Well. Look, I think that there's no question that Katar 173 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 2: once he gained some affection with this transaction, also no 174 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 2: question that it is a public transaction. It saved the 175 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: United States over four hundred million dollars because the Boeing 176 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 2: has failed to build the new Air Force ones on 177 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: a timely basis, which is a disaster. And by the way, 178 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: Bowling is going to be one of the big winners 179 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: on this trip because I think several of the countries 180 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 2: are going to place huge orders for Boweling airliners. So 181 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean Trump. Trump is very concerned about 182 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: the survival of Bowling despite what has been a decade 183 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: of incompetent management, and he has great hope that their 184 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: new CEO, who's an engineer, is going to turn things around. 185 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: But this is not what the founding father is worried 186 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: about this. This is not like the French president who 187 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: was privately getting diamonds from a country in Africa for 188 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 2: his own pocketbook. This is this is a public activity 189 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: involving a public good. And I'm not particularly offended if 190 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 2: we can get a four hundred million dollar plane and 191 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: given our budget. 192 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: All right, click break, welcome back. We're in Saudi Arabia. 193 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: We are in Rio Odd more with former Speaker of 194 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: the House New Gingrich on all of the big news. 195 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: Don't forget President Trump on Hannity tonight nine Eastern as 196 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: we continue from Riod. And then you know, former Speaker 197 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: of the House Snoop Giggrich is with US broadcasting today 198 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: from Riod. We're in Saudi Arabia. Well, let me give 199 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: you more context, because again, you know, rather than rush 200 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: to judgment like all of my colleagues in the state 201 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: run legacy media mob, Qatar has the largest US military 202 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: base in the Middle East. And here's a number that 203 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: you probably have not heard before, and you know pretty 204 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: much everything, but it was very deep in the weeds 205 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: and I found it. Since two thousand and three, Qatar 206 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 1: has invested over eight billion dollars in our military base 207 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: to support key US Central Command operations. I didn't hear 208 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 1: anybody complaining about that money being spent. 209 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 2: No, And I actually I had dinner with General Abrams 210 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 2: at that base just before the campaign against Iraq in 211 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: two thousand and three. You put Trainger on it earlier. 212 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 2: These countries are terrified of the Iranians, and they don't 213 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 2: want to have to rely on either the Russians or 214 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: the Chinese because they don't regard either of them as 215 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: desirable allies, you know. And so in the end, the 216 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 2: one country in the world that has had a track 217 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 2: record of taking on the Iranians and building a network 218 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 2: of support is the United States, and that's been that 219 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: That's why the Middle East is so extraordinarily complicated, because 220 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 2: it's you know, it turns out that from their standpoint, 221 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: Israel is no longer the central issue that it was 222 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: forty years ago. Iran is now the central issue. 223 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, and we did partner correct me if 224 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, because you are a historian, and at heart 225 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: you really are a professor, and I've learned an awful 226 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: lot from you over the many years of our friendship, 227 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: and you are like an older brother to me. But 228 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: correctly if I'm wrong, we did partner with our oars 229 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: jeemy the former Soviet Union in World War Two. That 230 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: might be a little detail that people forgot. 231 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 2: At Church. Churchill, who is a staunch Ani Communist, said, 232 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: if the Devil decided to fight Hitler, I'd find at 233 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 2: least a few good words to say about Hell. 234 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: Correct. I don't think you can say it any better. 235 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: I know you have to run, mister speaker. Wish you 236 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: were here with us in Saudi Arabia.

She's with ACT 257 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: for America founder and chairman. I want to play part 258 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump in his speech earlier. Now, we did 259 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: mention that, and we're going to play it in the 260 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: last hour of the program. The President's speech here, you know, 261 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: calling on the Saudias to recognize Israel. Now, privately, this 262 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: is all happening. I mean, that's the untold story that 263 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: we've been telling since the president's first term. Is there 264 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: is a genuine fright, fear that is palpable in terms 265 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: of wanting to rid the region of the threat that 266 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: is Iran and Iran militancy and Iran's you know, caliphate 267 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: Live or Die, and Iran wanting a weapon of mass destruction, 268 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: which you know, when people tell you they want to 269 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: wipe you off the face of the Earth. You might 270 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: want to pay attention and listen to it. We told 271 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: you the President said that we'll play more of it later. 272 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: But he also said if there is a military intervention 273 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: against Iran, that Israel will be the leader, but nobody's 274 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: going to tell him what to do. Here's what he 275 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: said with Iran. 276 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, if we if it requires military, we're going to 277 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: have military. Israel will obviously be very much involved in that. 278 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 3: He'll be the leader of that, but nobody leads us. 279 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 3: We do what we want to do. 280 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: Anyway, appreciate welcome back to the program. Great to have you. 281 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 4: I thank you my friends. Delighted to be back with you. 282 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 4: And what a day. 283 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: Well, tell me what your thoughts are. I'm I'm here 284 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: in the middle of it. You know, I said this 285 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: to nuke Gingrich in the last half hour is one 286 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: of the things that happened, you know. And I'm very 287 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: very clear here. I'm not putting aside since in the past. 288 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: I'm not overlooking past positions radicalisms, turning a blind eye 289 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: towards radicalism. But I am seeing the emergence of a 290 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: desire to move away from radicalism, and I think that 291 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: needs to be pointed out, but it's going to have 292 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: to be back with action. But more importantly, you know, 293 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: in the President's first term, it was the United States, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Emirates, 294 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: the Saudis all aligned in ways that it seemingly never 295 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: got any press sharing intelligence for example, all against Iranian 296 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,719 Speaker 1: hegemony in the region. And I think that's an untold story. 297 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: Nobody wants the Iranians to get a nuke. Everybody is aligned, 298 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: Everybody knows the danger to the region and the entire world. 299 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: That and economic prosperity seemed to be driving where the 300 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: Middle East is potentially heading. And I think that's why 301 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: the President called on the Saudis to recognize and support Israel. 302 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 4: Exactly Sean and especially since October seventh last year, we 303 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 4: have seen destruction on display on world news no matter 304 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 4: where you are in the world. The Arabs who are 305 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 4: living outside of them midd least, we're watching the destruction 306 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 4: of Gaza, the destruction of cities in Lebanon, the destruction 307 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 4: of Syria, the falling apart. They are watching the destruction 308 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 4: of Yemen under the hotties, and they are saying to themselves, 309 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 4: especially when they look at the prosperity of Saudi Arabia, 310 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 4: the prosperity of the United Arab Imarats you know, Kata 311 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 4: are all the nations that invested in commercial building, an 312 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 4: industrial revolution. They are watching how they are prospering. Their 313 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 4: people are living in peace, they are getting wealthier, their 314 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 4: children are getting more education. And on the other hand, 315 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 4: you are seeing poverty, starvation, pain and throughout the Arabic 316 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 4: world for those who are supporting terrorism. So at the 317 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 4: end of the day, especially after the last year and 318 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 4: a half, they are tired. The Arabs who are in 319 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 4: the Palestinian territories as much as the eighth Israel, we 320 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 4: are now seeing a backlash against Hamas. Hammas is suppressing 321 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 4: that backlash. This is why it is not being advertised 322 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 4: on the world media. We see glimpse of it because 323 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 4: Hamas puts the Cabas on it. But the Palestinians are 324 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 4: sick and tired of the leadership of Hamas. People in 325 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 4: Syria want to get back alive. People in Lebanon are 326 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 4: tired of Hosbala manipulating their life. After all, they destroyed 327 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 4: the country. So this is why today President Trump's message 328 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 4: and what we are seeing, what we witnessed today out 329 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 4: of Riyad. You know, when I was watching his speech today, 330 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 4: I had multiple television screens at my office. I was 331 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 4: watching Al Rabilla, Al Jazeera, Ahad TV, multiple leading Arabic 332 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 4: news agencies as well as watching his speech, and the 333 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 4: reaction was amazing. They have help. And I was watching 334 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 4: the commentary afterwards when different continents came on to comment 335 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 4: on the President's speech. The different commentaries from different nations 336 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 4: who came on different Arabic leading TV channels, whether a 337 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: Ladab or Al Jezira or Alhadas, all said independently of 338 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 4: each other, America is back. You heard that statement repeated 339 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 4: from different people who say America is back, stronger than ever. 340 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 4: America now is going to bring peace to the Middle East. 341 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 4: There is a chance, and they all have help. Today 342 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 4: can be summarized with hope for the Middle East. And 343 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 4: you know as well as I know that President Trump 344 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 4: is not going to throw Israel under the bus, but 345 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 4: he's going to make sure that Israel is protected and 346 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 4: the Sunique strong air up countries in the Middle East 347 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 4: are going to sign a peace treaty or had something 348 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 4: with Israel before he leaves office. In his presidency. 349 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, here's what I've been saying, and I 350 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: think there's evidence that it's happening. Is there has been 351 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: a pivot in terms of many of these Middle Eastern 352 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: countries that now want to do business and prosper that that. 353 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: But however, that's still going to require require them to 354 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: purge the radicals that remain and not turn a blind 355 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: eye as has happened in the past. You and I 356 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: both know it to radicalism in their midst and as 357 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: the President challenged Saudi Arabia today to make the pivot 358 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: and call, we called on the Saudis to join the 359 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: Abraham Accords recognizing Israel, and I think at the right point. 360 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: I honestly think that the only reason they don't do 361 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 1: it is because they believe that there'll be retribution and 362 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 1: they don't have the military might to take on the Iranians. 363 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? 364 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 4: No, you are correct. They are afraid of the retribution 365 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 4: because look at it this way. In America, we have 366 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 4: elections every four years, and every four years we changed leadership. 367 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 4: Look at the previous leadership under Biden. I mean, what 368 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 4: a difference between the welcome reception of President Trump and 369 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 4: the givenescry between President Trump and Ben Selman. You can 370 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 4: see it on display. They are true friends. There's a 371 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 4: truly genuine respect and admiration with Biden. One Biden landed 372 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 4: when he was in in South Arabia, we didn't even 373 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 4: know if they were going to shake hands. I mean, 374 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 4: it was such a cold, different type of fabricated theater 375 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 4: in front of the world relationship, but it meant nothing. 376 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 4: So the Faoudies were always afraid because they cannot trust 377 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 4: what comes next. What President Trump is trying to do now, 378 00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 4: especially with the codification of these business relationships, menting these 379 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 4: business deals, especially the military deals that have wing with 380 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia. This gives the Saudis these strength the confidence 381 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 4: to say, Okay, we know America's got our back. We 382 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 4: know that under his presidency, because we've got another for 383 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 4: three years of President Trump. We know for the next 384 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 4: three years we can move their relationship and the assurances 385 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 4: so far forward that we can be protected if we 386 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 4: recognize Israel and do a peace treaty with Israel, even 387 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 4: if it's on the governmental level like Egypt, like Jordan. Look, 388 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 4: zeb and Jordan have a peace treaty with Israel on 389 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 4: a governmental level. Not that the people of Jordan or 390 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 4: the people in Egypt are in love with Israel, but 391 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 4: at least at the government level, they know there's not 392 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 4: going to be any war, and governments are cooperating with 393 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 4: each other and sharing intelligence protecting each other. As you 394 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 4: well know, the Egyptians and the Saudis and the United 395 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,479 Speaker 4: Arab Immert and the Israelis are coordinating on intelligence, especially 396 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 4: when it comes to protecting themselves and their interests from Iran, 397 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 4: who wants to establish a giminy in the Middle East. 398 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 4: I think President Trumps today's visit the Saudi Arabia and 399 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 4: his speech, and also the way he edified Vincelman, the 400 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 4: crown Prince, and how he kept praising him and lifting 401 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 4: his stature in the eyes of the Arabic world and 402 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 4: Arabic leaders. You know, there's a difference between edifying somebody 403 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 4: in front of their own people, but when you edify 404 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 4: them on the world stage while people representative from around 405 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 4: the world are sitting there and speech carried worldwide, where 406 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 4: the Arabic media, the Arabic everybody was watching today's speech. 407 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 4: When he lifted up the crown trends to the point 408 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 4: where you are my friend. I love you. We're going 409 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 4: to have a great relationship business wise, family wise for 410 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 4: years to come. You will always be my friend. You've 411 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 4: got you did an amazing job building Saudi Arabia. I'm 412 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 4: impressed with what you have accomplished. He praised him in 413 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 4: every way and by lifting his stature, as if if 414 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 4: he's lifting anyway, I mean he's already very well respected, 415 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 4: but by elevating him to the level of almost like Trump, 416 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 4: the Trump of the Middle East, Benceelman, that gives ben 417 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 4: Selman the strength to be able to make decisions move 418 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 4: forward without fearing retribution on the level that it would 419 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 4: have been four years ago. 420 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: Well, I got to tell you some I think you 421 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: you've really analyzed this very well.

You know, I give I brought 456 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 1: this up with New two on this issue of Qatar 457 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: and the plane. You know, it's very funny that nobody 458 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: ever mentions that if it wasn't for the United States, 459 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: it's military might, it's willingness to share its military technology. 460 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: We currently have twenty six billion in active government to 461 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: government defense sales with Katar. Because they need our technology, 462 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: they need our military might, they need our military advancement. 463 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: Nobody ever to point it out. For example, the Qatar 464 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: is the home of the largest US military base in 465 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: the entire Middle East, and since two thousand and three, 466 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: Qatar has invested over eight billion dollars in the base. 467 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: This has been an ongoing relationship in spite of again 468 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: I go back to you know, all these countries, they 469 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: cannot turn a blind eye towards radicalism, anymore. Now, with 470 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: that said, I agree with you. I think the fear 471 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: is palpable and real. They don't want to show down 472 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: with it. They don't want to be fighting the hoodies. 473 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: They don't want to be fighting the Iranians. They don't 474 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: want to be fighting Hisbllah. They don't want to be 475 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: fighting Islamic Jiha. They don't want to be fighting Hamas. 476 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: They don't have that kind of military might. Maybe united 477 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: they might, so, you know, purging radicals, not turning a 478 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: blind eye to radicalism is a big part, and staying 479 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: focused on economic success, which is which is where they 480 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: seem to be headed. And I'll give them the benefit 481 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: of the doubt, but joining the Abraham Accords would be 482 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: a big step that I think the President was right 483 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: to call him out. You get the last word. 484 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 4: Yes, And today we saw America's might and power on display, 485 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 4: both political, military and business power. And the world respects that. 486 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 4: The Middle least respects that, and that's exactly why they 487 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 4: brought Syria to the fall. This is exactly why they said, 488 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 4: we're going to lift the sanctions on Syria. We are 489 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 4: open to start the talks to Syria because Saudi Arabia 490 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 4: wanted to immediately make sure they jump in and rebuild 491 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 4: that relationship with the Saudis to block Iran completely out 492 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 4: what President Trump is doing. Look, President Trump is not dumb. 493 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 4: He understands the threat of radical Islam. He understands the 494 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 4: threat from Cutter. By the way, Cutter needs us more 495 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 4: than we need them. We can move that base out 496 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 4: of Kutar tomorrow and to anywhere else that base is 497 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 4: supporting the Cutter is not us. 498 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: President, thank you. They need us more than we need them, 499 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: That's correct, And we give them more than anybody ever 500 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: pays any attention to.
