- 0:56Speaker 1: Okay.
- 0:56Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen the headline, but according
- 0:58Speaker 2: to every news outlet, but I'm going to quote ABC

- 1:04Speaker 1: And listen to this.
- 1:05Speaker 2: The Trump administration poised to accept Palace in the Sky
- 1:08Speaker 2: as a gift for Trump from Qatar. Yes, and what
- 1:12Speaker 2: may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the
- 1:14Speaker 2: US from a foreign government.
- 1:15Speaker 1: The Trump administration is preparing to accept a.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Super luxury Boeing seven forty seven to eight jumbo jet
- 1:21Speaker 2: from the royal family of Katar.
- 1:22Speaker 1: You can't make this up. Let's go to CBS News
- 1:24Speaker 1: for the report.
- 1:25Speaker 4: Police the Gulf nation of Cutter says the gift of
- 1:28Speaker 4: a luxury jumbo jet to serve as a presidential aircraft
- 1:31Speaker 4: for Donald Trump is quote under consideration. Whatever it is,
- 1:35Speaker 4: gift or plan, it comes as the President prepares for
- 1:38Speaker 4: a three nation trip to the Middle East. President Trump
- 1:41Speaker 4: has already toured this seven forty seven Dash eight. It
- 1:44Speaker 4: happened in February when the luxury jet was flown to
- 1:47Speaker 4: Palm Beach, Florida. CBS News has learned it's poised to
- 1:51Speaker 4: be a gift from Cutter's royal family. It is not
- 1:55Speaker 4: ready for presidential use and would need to be retrofitted.
- 1:58Speaker 4: The President, who departs mondays Saudi Arabia, Cutter and the
- 2:02Speaker 4: UAE will use one of the seven forty sevens that
- 2:05Speaker 4: have served as Air Force one since the first President Bush.
- 2:09Speaker 4: The value of the gift from a foreign power is
- 2:11Speaker 4: sparking legal and ethical concerns. Maryland Democrat Jamie Ropskin posting
- 2:17Speaker 4: on X the Constitution is perfectly clear no present of
- 2:21Speaker 4: any kind whatever from a foreign state without congressional permission.
- 2:25Speaker 4: The White House Press Secretary says, the administration will comply
- 2:29Speaker 4: with the law.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Well, it's cut her, cut her a four hundred million
- 2:32Speaker 1: dollar gift. Okay, a jet.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Listen, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, all media outlets. Let's not do
- 2:38Speaker 2: the dumb thing y'all do when you ask answers. I
- 2:40Speaker 2: hate when I'm watching these networks. CNN does it the
- 2:43Speaker 2: most by the way they ask answers. For example, they
- 2:46Speaker 2: will say, is Donald Trump accepting this plane.
- 2:49Speaker 1: From Cutter illegal?
- 2:51Speaker 2: Then they debate it, and then we the people are
- 2:52Speaker 2: sitting back at home not processing the information the way
- 2:55Speaker 2: that we should because we are looking at it through
- 2:57Speaker 2: the lens of is Trump taking the plane wrong? Is
- 3:01Speaker 2: Trump taking the plane right? When there's only one answer,
- 3:03Speaker 2: it is absolutely wrong.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:05Speaker 2: The US Constitution prohibits government officials from accepting gifts from
- 3:09Speaker 2: any king, prince, or foreign state, full stop.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Now, Trump posted on social media.
- 3:15Speaker 2: So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a
- 3:17Speaker 2: gift free of charge of a seven forty seven aircraft
- 3:20Speaker 2: to replace the forty year old Air Force one temporarily,
- 3:23Speaker 2: and a very public and transparent transaction. So bothers the
- 3:27Speaker 2: crooked Democrats that they insist we pay top dollars for
- 3:31Speaker 2: the plane.
- 3:32Speaker 4: Up.
- 3:32Speaker 2: It's not just Democrats that I saw complaining about this, okay.
- 3:35Speaker 2: A lot of Trump's own supporters will complaining about this
- 3:37Speaker 2: as well. And he said it's very public and transparent.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Just because you sell dope, committed murder or rob somebody
- 3:43Speaker 2: in broad daylight in front of a bunch of people,
- 3:45Speaker 2: doesn't make it any less of a crime.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:47Speaker 2: If it's one thing we've learned from politicians over the
- 3:50Speaker 2: past decade is that corruption can be very public and
- 3:53Speaker 2: very transparent.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Now, in the Constitution, he says, you are prohibited from
- 3:58Speaker 2: accepting gifts from foreign states without the consent of Congress,
- 4:01Speaker 2: aiming to prevent undue foreign influence on US officials. So
- 4:04Speaker 2: critics argue that accepting such a valuable gift like this jet,
- 4:07Speaker 2: estimated at four hundred million, without congressional approval could be unconstitutional. Now, listen,
- 4:13Speaker 2: I'm not about to sit up here and act like
- 4:15Speaker 2: I'm some constitutional scholar, but outside of this being unconstitutional,
- 4:19Speaker 2: widely illegal, why would you take a gift from people
- 4:23Speaker 2: who fund terrorist organizations that kill a lot of Americans?
- 4:27Speaker 2: And why you know, I say take the gift, I'm
- 4:30Speaker 2: simply saying why would you trust these people? When I
- 4:35Speaker 2: say take the gift, I'm simply saying, why would you
- 4:37Speaker 2: trust these people?
- 4:38Speaker 1: Beware the noble gesture? Okay, we know what that means, right.
- 4:42Speaker 2: It's a warning that an act motivated by generosity may
- 4:45Speaker 2: actually be a deceptive or manipula manipulative move. Yes, appearances
- 4:50Speaker 2: can be deceiving, and you should be cautious when evaluating
- 4:53Speaker 2: someone's motives behind a jest. And first of all, these
- 4:55Speaker 2: people are not gifting a four hundred million dollar plane
- 4:58Speaker 2: out of the goodness of their heart. Come on, Trump administration,
- 5:01Speaker 2: y'all at least have to know that this gift comes
- 5:03Speaker 2: with a lot of strings attached to it. And what
- 5:05Speaker 2: makes you think that these folks can't cut those scrings
- 5:08Speaker 2: at any given time? Once again, these people from terrorists organizations,
- 5:12Speaker 2: How do we know they can't make this plane fall
- 5:14Speaker 2: out of this guy anytime they want to? How do
- 5:17Speaker 2: we know this plane isn't just a big ass bomb.
- 5:20Speaker 2: I know the Secret Service will do a sweep of
- 5:22Speaker 2: the plane, but how do we know it's not loaded
- 5:24Speaker 2: with listening devices, tracking devices. They are potentially going to
- 5:27Speaker 2: have so much intel on our country. And none of
- 5:30Speaker 2: this would happen if this administration, the Trump administration, simply
- 5:33Speaker 2: moved with ethics and did things in a constitutional way.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Please give the Trump administration the biggest sea hull. Just
- 5:45Speaker 2: move with some ethics and in a constitutional way, and
- 5:48Speaker 2: we wouldn't have none of these problems.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Wouldn't be a discussion. All right, Well, thank you for that.
