• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So President Trump is adding a new condition to the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: proposed Saudi nuclear deal, writing on truth Social the civil
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: nuclear Deal, there will be no enrichment of material being
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: made without the United States Department of Energy in Saudi
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Arabia will be approved, but is subjected to Saudi Arabia
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: joining the very respectful Abraham Accords. The White House says
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: this isn't a new demand. The President has raised it
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: with the Saudis before. The President is always the final
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: deal maker, as you know, and this is something that
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: he has mentioned on numerous occasions going back.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I can provide you with those statements.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And he has said if they don't join the Abraham Accords,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the deal is off. So let's bring in Santive Farm
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Relations Committee member Senator Bill Haggerty cenatored your thoughts about
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: this deal as.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: You know it well, we're seeing the facts unfold. But
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I applaud President Trump for bringing major allies in the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: region together. Aran is getting further and further isolated by
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: a deal like this, and joining the Abraham Accords has
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: been a long term goal for President Trump for this administration. Franklin,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I'd love to see it. The fact that he's got
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Jared Kushner involved, Jared and his wonderful team Generator. That
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: team put together the Abraham Accords at a time when
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: it was desperately needed. They should have gotten I think
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: they should have gotten a Nobel Peace Prize for this.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And by bringing more into the fold, particularly Saudi, the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: largest economy there. I think this is a major step forward.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: We're talking about economy, we're talking about prosperity, and I
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: think this sends a message for the entire region that
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: we're ready to move forward.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Here center ed Markey about the potential deal because Congress
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: has got Okay in him.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: So watch.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: So right now, we have a twin hypocrisy. One, Trump
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: is declaring war on Iran to prevent them from getting
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: nuclear weapons, and at the same time he's an old thing.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: He's going to provide the materials for nuclear weapons to
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia, which is only going to further infuriate Aron
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: and make it impossible to ever get them to give
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: up their nuclear weapons ambitions. So this is a terrible day.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: It is so is the dawn of a new nuclear
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: ams race in the Middle East.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, you don't want to anger iron, They never get angry.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Your thoughts, this is we're not talking about enrichment programs
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: at all. The AE other partners of ours are able
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to have a civil nuclear program, they report, they don't hide,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: they don't obviously they.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Don't enrich in country. These guys Saudi Arabia would enrich
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in country.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I think this is something that we're going to work
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: through the details on in the Saudi Arabia. But my
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: senses and President Trump's overarching goal is to bring them
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: into an economic relationship that begets prosperity right.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So I took to General Jack Keane last hour. There
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: seemed to be an indication from the White House that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: they're going to go upscale this military conflict, intensify it
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: when they asked to pull a Fox News poll, do
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you support military action against iron is forty three, fifty six,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: forty three support, fifty six, don't. Where do you stand?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I think the sooner we get this wrapped up, the
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: sooner it's taking care of, the more the American public
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: will come on board. I think the issue we've got
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: right now is the fact that it's dragging out. And
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I don't fault those that are trying to negotiate, trying
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to bring this together with term that work, because we're
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: going to have to rebuild her on But at this point,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I think the American public sentiment and at least as
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I read the data, they just want this over with.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: And if you think about the activity there in the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Middle East, Brad Cooper, the Centcom leader, the aremerald there
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: was about seventy five to eighty percent of the way
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: through the target package they initially set. They stopped when
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: they went to ceasefire. They stopped that when they went
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to negotiate. I think he's back on track to complete
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: that target package and that we'll put the Iranian situation
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: in much better negotiating.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about the funding needed. Now. You guys
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: have a week left. House is already left, and then
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you'll have four weeks off and be back in September.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: But you're looking to try to advance a ninety five
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: billion dollar plan to fund the war because we have
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: enough now, but we got to replenish and backfill, and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you need one point five trillion instead of nine hundred billion,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: which would only bring us to five percent of the GDP. Yes,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of money, but that's where Reagan was
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: at five percent.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you've got a lot of support for this.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: We've got a reconciliation package working stay through. This is
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: just an immediate fix for this. About seventy three billion
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: dollars in that package to address the DoD But we're
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: talking at one point five trillion dollar package at a
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: time when the military needs a significant rebuild. For four years,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: they were distracted under Joe Biden, focusing on social engineering,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: not on lethality. And what the team has found as
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: they've come in is a lot of opportunity to make
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: us stronger. We've demonstrated exquisite results. I think you look
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: at Venezuela, you look at what we've been able to
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: do in Iron quickly. But we need to continue this
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: momentum and make certain that we're ready to deal with
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: all of the adversarial situations.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I would love to see a simultaneous audit because everybody
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: thinks the Pentagon should be spending more efficiently. But we
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: do need at least the one point five trillion we
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: asked NATO to get to five percent. We have to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: get to five percent too. So let's talk about the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Save America Act and how it fits in there. Now
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to do things on a simple majority.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: You have to do. It's got to be money, it's
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: got to be budget budget.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: So you could also put other things in there like
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: voter ID yes, and maybe mail in balloting parts or
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: all of the Save America Act. John Thune is frustrating
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the president because the Center says, I don't have the votes.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I don't have all the Republican votes. McConnell is out,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Kowski is out, Collins is out, and perhaps till this
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: is out, what is the reality on the ground. Can
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: they be convinced.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I think what we need to do is actually put
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: something in front of everybody, because if it's voter I D. Look,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: this is an issue that over ninety five or eighty
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: but money no exactly, and even on the Democrat side,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: over seventy percent of Democrats have proved this. I don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: know why every American doesn't want to support this. The
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: mail in balloting issue gets more complicated for some states
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that are more remote. I understand that issue, but I
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: think that we take it in pieces and at least
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: if we can come through this product.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So you are for taking just voter I D.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I'll take it and then come back for mail and back. Yes, Yeah,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I'll take whatever I can get right now, all.
• 5:36
