00:00Welcome to a new episode of Minn Washington.
00:13On today's program, we're going to accommodate a series of questions.
00:19In this week's episode, the war in Ukraine, will it escalate or will we see a ceasefire?
00:27Biden's efforts to achieve peace in Lebanon.
00:30The war in Ukraine has intensified since November 24, 2024, with significant developments taking place on the two fronts, military and political.
00:41Russia has stepped up its fight by launching a new medium-range ballistic missile to hit important targets, including a factory in the Dnipro region.
00:52This missile is capable of carrying conventional or advanced nuclear warheads, which is noticeable in Russian military capabilities.
01:00In response, the Biden administration allowed Ukraine to use long-range American missiles, including the MGM-140, which was designed and manufactured to enhance defense and attack operations, especially in areas that face increasing threats.
01:20At the same time, America is working hard to find diplomatic solutions to mitigate regional conflicts.
01:29The efforts to stop the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah continue, and US ambassadors have participated in constructive talks with Lebanese officials and expressed their optimism to end the conflict.
01:41President Biden also discussed initiatives to stop the ceasefire with the leaders of other countries, emphasizing the importance of stopping the escalation for regional stability.
01:52Despite these efforts, the challenges remain. The situation in Ukraine is still turbulent, where advanced weapons and counter-strategic measures feed the conflict, which cannot be predicted by its consequences.
02:05Despite the diplomatic talks promised in Lebanon, the permanent cessation of the ceasefire will require complex political and military dynamics.
02:17While President Trump is forming his government, the Biden administration continues to deal with these crises and balance military support with diplomatic initiatives to enhance stability and peace in all of Eastern and Middle Eastern Europe.
02:32To discuss these issues, we have three distinguished guests with us today.
02:37We have James Davis, CEO of Touchdown Strategies, a political communications company in the capital, Washington.
02:45Previously, he led the Pentagon communications under the leadership of Defense Ministers Donald Rumsfeld and Robert Gates.
02:52He also served as Director of Communications at the National Conference of the Republic of Lebanon in 2012.
02:59We also have Peter Roth, a freedom fighter and writer in the Newsweek magazine.
03:03He is a green commentator who provides political analysis on many international media platforms, where he presents his views on American politics and international affairs.
03:16And with us as usual, the special commentator of the program, George Landreth, President of the Institute of Frontiers of Freedom,
03:22a center that preserves public policy research, founded by the retired Senator Malcolm Wallop.
03:31Welcome, everyone.
03:33Before we start the discussion, let's move on to the program's host, Jehan Mansour.
03:40This report is about the latest developments in the Middle East and Biden's efforts to stop the fire in Lebanon.
03:48Welcome, Jehan.
03:57Thank you, Mark.
03:59The efforts of President Joe Biden's administration to achieve diplomatic victory before Donald Trump took office
04:06are the cornerstones of the upcoming January rule that will end a series of deviations in foreign policy, especially in the Middle East,
04:17where the American envoy Amos Hochstein arrived in Lebanon to achieve an agreement between Israel and Lebanon
04:27to stop the fire between Hezbollah and Israel.
04:31The agreement of the Israeli Prime Minister to stop the fire has conditions that the critics consider a challenge to the efforts of the American administration.
04:43The hypothesis of accepting the threat on the condition of releasing his hand in targeting Hezbollah
04:49puts Mr. Najib Miqati in a difficult and embarrassing position with the internal parties.
04:57Despite the emergence of the regional and national Lebanese forces from the agenda of the rising Hezbollah,
05:04the agreement on the Israeli condition remains unacceptable.
05:10While some observers in the US capital see that Biden's administration is working to cancel the diplomatic scene
05:20and international relations before Trump takes office,
05:24others see that the success of the US envoy to stop the fire may have positive implications,
05:34not only for the security of the region, but also for any possible opportunities for comprehensive peace in the region,
05:43which is what Trump's expected policy to exit the Middle East from the cycle of violence will enhance.
05:52The king, Muhammad VI, has always warned of violence and escalation,
06:00which he has called on on several occasions for the need to resort to legitimacy and wisdom
06:07in order to preserve the lives of innocent people and ensure the safety of civilians wherever they are.
06:14King Muhammad VI's vision is in harmony with the vision of the US administration in determining the implementation of peace
06:25and to once again confirm the vision of Morocco, led by His Majesty, for the future of the region,
06:33which focuses on seriousness, justice and peace as a symbol that the kingdom is not without.
06:42Thank you very much, Jehan. Let us start today with the war.
07:12Well, Mark, it's a good question. Let me say first that I think that the number 200 billion is probably a conservative number.
07:42I think that the number 200 billion is probably a conservative number.
07:49I think that the number 200 billion is probably a conservative number.
07:57I think that the number 200 billion is probably a conservative number.
08:07I think that the number 200 billion is probably a conservative number.
08:14I think that the number 200 billion is probably a conservative number.
08:22I think that the number 200 billion is probably a conservative number.
08:32Thank you very much, Peter.
08:41James Davis, it seems that the two current presidents, Biden and Trump,
08:55in their meeting in the White House, discussed the matter, and although we do not know what happened in their private conversations,
09:00but we are sure that they are discussing the Ukrainian issue.
09:04Is there any possibility that they may have talked about some kind of escalation of the war
09:08to put Ukraine in a better negotiating position when Trump takes office in mid-January?
09:16It's possible, but I think it's unlikely.
09:18It's possible, but I think it's unlikely.
09:22I think that Peter's analysis was accurate.
09:24We know that Donald Trump is very much in favor of wars,
09:28which is what we do not find much in the middle of the Republican Party.
09:32There has been a transformation of the president in public policy,
09:36where the Republicans entered, as is known today, in the framework of realistic self-regulation,
09:40after they were more inclined in the past towards the direction of the new conservatives,
09:44while Biden remained largely within the framework of the new conservatives.
09:50I do not think that Trump trusts that Biden will give him good advice in this regard,
09:54as Trump will not see Biden as a mediator in this discussion.
09:58Therefore, I do not think that the scenario that you proposed, Mark,
10:02has actually happened in the meeting of the White House.
10:06And I think, regardless of what things will say to him
10:10as long as Biden remains in power,
10:14as long as Biden remains in power,
10:18Trump will start with all his might to try to negotiate with Putin and Ukraine
10:22to reach a ceasefire.
10:26And no one knows what the details will be,
10:30but Trump is skilled in making deals,
10:34and will try to reach some deals.
10:38George, Trump always says that the Europeans
10:42who are closest to this conflict must bear more funding.
10:46So far, as I talked to Peter,
10:50the US taxpayers have spent about $200 billion
10:54while all NATO countries have spent about $100 billion.
10:58Politico, a European-style newspaper,
11:02said that Russian tanks
11:06may not enter Poland or Estonia,
11:10but Russian aggression is more difficult to stop.
11:14While governments such as the Scandinavian and Baltic states
11:18are trying to raise the alert level,
11:22the response of the entire European Union and NATO was vague.
11:26The US Secretary of State, Mita Fredrickson,
11:30simply said, we are very polite.
11:34And I think, George, when Trump takes office,
11:38well, let's hope.
11:42I do think it's an interesting question
11:46because one of the strange things here
11:50is that they are close to Europe.
11:54You might think that the Russian-Ukrainian war
11:58will bother them more.
12:02And as I said, I think that financial aid
12:06will not be a problem for them.
12:10But I think it will be.
12:14And as you know, if the US does not do anything at all,
12:18I do not think that Russia will attack the US, for example.
12:22But the next step could be an attack on Poland or Georgia
12:26or one of the former Soviet Union republics
12:30or an area of the former Russian Empire.
12:34The other thing that I find depressing,
12:38as an American, is that at a certain stage,
12:42we finance both sides of the war.
12:46This means that we send 250 billion dollars to Ukraine,
12:50but we have lifted the sanctions on Russia.
12:54We have also raised the energy prices,
12:58which provides Putin with a lot of additional money.
13:02We have also raised the sanctions on them.
13:06And our policy in the field of energy has provided them with money.
13:10And what did they do? They attacked their neighbors.
13:14Therefore, I think that we need a more decisive and rational policy.
13:18And I have no doubt that Donald Trump,
13:22when he takes power,
13:26will change all that.
13:30Peter, Ukraine has about 400 square miles
13:34in the region of the Russian Oblast.
13:38As a result, the number of Ukrainian forces inside Ukraine has decreased.
13:42On the other hand, Russia has occupied more Ukrainian territory.
13:46As a result, we have seen new missiles enter the war
13:50from Great Britain and America,
13:54which are ahead of the speed of sound
13:58and dangerous heads,
14:02which prompted President Putin
14:06to agree to allow the use of nuclear weapons.
14:10To what extent does Biden want to increase the ignition of the war
14:14before Trump takes power?
14:18Well, that's the question that a lot of people are asking.
14:22To what extent will Biden give the green light
14:26to the Ukrainian response to the Russian aggression?
14:30And what is the problem that Biden sees in exporting it to Trump?
14:34I think the answer goes beyond what many people can comfort.
14:38But I also think that Putin and Zelensky are not stupid.
14:42And I think that both of them understand Trump's desire
14:46to end the war.
14:50And they are now fighting on lands that can be exchanged
14:54through negotiations.
14:58Zelensky, as a hero, managed to end the war
15:02and save Ukraine while Putin's face is being preserved.
15:06Trump believes that the global economy
15:10is a tool of politics,
15:14as do aircraft carriers, tanks and missiles.
15:18And he is ready to re-impose sanctions on the regime
15:22This is a matter that Putin fears,
15:26as he is not afraid of the progress of the Ukrainian forces
15:30through Georgia to Moscow,
15:34but he is afraid of his exit from the global markets
15:38so that only the Chinese markets will become the markets
15:42to sell Russian oil.
15:46And speaking of China, James,
15:50what we see now is a link between Iran, China and Russia.
15:54This includes the publication of more than 10,000 North Korean forces
15:58in Russia near the Ukrainian border.
16:02What does this mean for you as a person who served
16:06in the Ministry of Defense with the ministers Rumsfeld and Gates?
16:10When you see the movement of foreign forces in this area,
16:14what does it mean for the quality of the war?
16:18This is a fast-moving trend.
16:22Putin negotiated and developed these relations
16:26realizing that the United States has exerted economic pressure
16:30on North Korea and China,
16:34and the two countries realize that they have given Trump
16:38sanctions and imposed national recognition,
16:42insisting strongly on imposing these recognitions on China.
16:46Therefore, it is important for these countries to stand with us.
16:50This is an exciting situation for the world and for America.
16:54Therefore, it is hoped that Biden's administration
16:58will speed up the escalation so that Trump and others
17:02will be able to reduce the escalation in January.
17:06Because if the escalation increases rapidly,
17:10we may enter a global war.
17:14The Newsweek magazine published an article
17:18by one of Peter's friends entitled
17:22The Ukrainian war may be out of control before Trump takes office.
17:26Let's watch this report.
17:34The Newsweek magazine published an article entitled
17:38The Ukrainian war may be out of control
17:42before Trump takes office.
17:46The author of the article said
17:50Ukraine claimed that Russia had launched a ballistic missile
17:54across the Eastern city of Dnipro.
17:58In fact, the missile was not a ballistic missile
18:02or a cruise missile, but a new, shorter-range missile
18:06capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
18:10However, there has been another escalation
18:14in a war that has intensified in recent weeks,
18:18where Russia launched a large-scale attack
18:22with unmanned aircraft and missiles on Ukrainian power plants
18:26and other vital infrastructure.
18:30Then the author said,
18:34some Russian attack observers see it as Putin's way
18:39of responding to the decision of the United States
18:43to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles
18:47to launch attacks on Russian targets.
18:51The author added,
18:55both sides are ready to negotiate in one way or another,
18:59despite the fact that Russia is in a hurry
19:03to strengthen its gains on various fronts,
19:07which have been significantly reduced
19:11by its missile attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure.
19:15On the other hand,
19:19Ukraine has blocked the launch of unmanned aircraft
19:23against Russian oil refineries.
19:27The author said,
19:31both sides had secret weapons,
19:35and it is not possible for the United States
19:39to allow Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles
19:43to strike targets inside Russia,
19:47fearing that such strikes would escalate the war.
19:51This is a major regression
19:55in the US position just two months
19:59after Biden handed over the matters to Trump,
20:03saying that this decision,
20:07long awaited by Biden,
20:11would be enough to change the course of the war.
20:15But raising the stakes makes Trump's role
20:19as a peacemaker more difficult,
20:23and it is still unclear
20:27what the president will decide.
20:31Trump said in his victory speech,
20:35I will not start wars,
20:39I will stop wars,
20:43and it will not be long
20:47before we see how his demands will be fulfilled.
20:51This article addresses
20:55some of the challenges we are discussing today.
20:59What are the implications of raising the US veto
21:03on Ukraine's use of Storm Shadow missiles
21:07which are long-range cruise missiles
21:11that are difficult to monitor
21:15and can reach Russian soil?
21:19What does that mean?
21:23Well, I think it certainly increases
21:27the risk of escalation.
21:31But I think the risks of escalation
21:35started when the Biden administration
21:39withdrew from Afghanistan in a wrong and unwise direction.
21:43Therefore, the Russians intensified their readiness at the borders.
21:47For example, Biden used to say that
21:51it was encouraging in an easy way
21:55and it was encouraging in a wrong way.
21:59At that time, we did not offer any help at all.
22:03I think it would have been better
22:07to send all the things we sent to them
22:11just to gather their forces at the borders.
22:15If that had been done,
22:19it would have been easier to resolve the conflict
22:23and it would have been better
22:27to send all the things we sent to them
22:31just to gather their forces at the borders.
22:35Therefore, I think, as James said,
22:39Biden was not good at foreign policy.
22:43He always did things wrong
22:47and it was very harmful for him.
22:51So, Peter Roth,
22:55now a majority of Ukrainians
22:59Peter, according to Mr. Gallup's opinion,
23:03most Ukrainians say they are ready
23:07and for the first time to start negotiating about this conflict.
23:11Is this the right time now?
23:15There are less than two months left
23:19and the time is not right for Trump and Zelensky
23:23and then for Trump's administration to leave this circle.
23:27Trump said that in the shortest time possible
23:31on the first day or the first week of his presidency
23:35he will negotiate to equalize and end this war.
23:39Do you think this is the right thinking?
23:43If Trump starts something now publicly openly,
23:47the Democrats in Congress will try to isolate him
23:51because of the violation of the Logan law
23:55that prevents American citizens from entering
23:59in diplomatic practices,
24:03and Trump's team should take that into account.
24:07Therefore, we did not see any movement from Trump
24:11regarding the war in Ukraine or Gaza or what is happening in Lebanon.
24:15It is not a bad idea to start negotiating
24:19when the time is right to start negotiating
24:23and with Donald Trump's arrival,
24:27all of Ukraine and Russia will realize
24:31that the war between them will become more expensive
24:35and Trump will not sign agreements with Ukraine
24:39to continue buying weapons to fight Russia.
24:43Russia will continue to sell their oil and metals
24:47in the international markets
24:51and they are only two things that have value
24:55in what Russia offers to the world.
24:59Therefore, Ukraine and Russia will face restrictions on them
25:03and they are now in a war to control lands
25:07that can be negotiated at the negotiating table
25:11We will discuss Iran and the Middle East
25:15but James, Peter and George, please stay with us
25:19and with our viewers. After a short break,
25:23we will continue to discuss Biden's efforts
25:27to stop the fire in Lebanon.
25:41Welcome back to the second part of Min Washington.
26:11Well, the axis of evil is real.
26:15As the evil in the Middle East is real,
26:19as the evil in Gaza is real,
26:23as the evil in Lebanon is real,
26:27as the evil in Syria is real,
26:31as the evil in Iraq is real,
26:35as the evil in Syria is real,
26:39as the interrelationship between the two countries is real.
27:09As the Middle East is real,
27:13as the Middle East is real,
27:17as the Middle East is real,
27:21as the Middle East is real,
27:25as the Middle East is real,
27:29as the Middle East is real,
27:33as the Middle East is real,
27:37as the Middle East is real,
27:41as the Middle East is real.
28:07and put an end to Iran's ability to spread terrorism around the world and end the war in Lebanon,
28:14and return Lebanon to what it was like a paradise on earth.
28:20Iran is the solution, and Trump knows what he will do by depriving it of funding,
28:28not as Obama's administration has done, and Biden's administration has repeated that.
28:35George Landreth, if we walk through the last several months,
29:06will that have an effect on forcing the party to sit on the negotiating table, or will it make it more intense?
29:17That's a very interesting question, because I think most people, when they start facing these kinds of troubles,
29:23would want to re-evaluate their...
29:27and I think they think that the enthusiasm and participation of Hezbollah has given them the advantage,
29:34but suddenly they realize that it's not going the way they want it to go,
29:40and I think that, on the one hand, the response is leaning towards realizing that the aggression is going to be fruitful,
29:47and on the other hand, they're not going to be able to do anything about it.
29:52So, I think that Israel is trying to convince Hezbollah that this is going to cost them a lot,
29:59and I think that, as time goes by, this will help.
30:03And so, Peter gave a good explanation for the real reason here,
30:09which is that the Iranians are providing the resources and the money,
30:14which is what saved a lot to start the attacks.
30:18And James Davis, also, US taxpayers have spent about $20 billion to Israel.
30:25And James Davis, also, US taxpayers have spent about $20 billion to Israel.
30:32James, US taxpayers have spent $20 billion to support Israel in its war against Gaza and Hezbollah,
30:41and they've also spent about $350 million on aid to Gaza.
30:46And it seems that Trump doesn't have a problem spending this money on this war against Ukraine.
30:52So, why is it different?
30:54Are there internal reasons, or is it because of international relations?
30:57How does Trump think about the differences between the two wars in Gaza and Ukraine?
31:01Well, I think it's a special relationship that the US has had with Israel over years.
31:06I think the reason is the special relationship between the United States and Israel,
31:11as well as Trump's close relations with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
31:15And if you remember, and if you go back a little bit,
31:18you will find Jared Kushner, the wife of President Trump,
31:22served in the first administration, and he had a real passion for negotiating in the Middle East,
31:28which is something that most of those who served under President Trump could not do.
31:32So, I think there is a special personal appeal from Kushner,
31:37which may have an effect on President Trump, in addition to that special relationship.
31:43With all of that, I don't think that Trump's administration will open the doors to financial dependence
31:49and drown Israel in money.
31:51We are facing the embarrassing problem that Trump has caused,
31:55regarding the borders of the United States and the illegal immigration of 7,100,000 people
32:02who are actually accused of committing crimes.
32:05And they are now under surveillance, and Trump's administration needs all available resources
32:10to start the process of deporting these illegal immigrants,
32:15as that forms a priority, which Trump has built his election campaigns on.
32:21Democrats are now saying that there is no financial dependence for that.
32:25But what will happen when Washington stops spending money in Ukraine, Israel and Iran
32:31to deal with the existing problem in America?
32:35George, Peter Roth talked about the importance of the Abrahamic Covenants,
32:39as James talked about Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of President Trump,
32:44who had a great influence, in addition to the Moroccan efforts to reach these agreements.
32:49Tell us about the possibility of Trump and his administration continuing this relationship with Morocco
32:55and continuing the relationship with the Middle East based on the Abrahamic Covenants
33:00and moving to the next step.
33:02Well, I think that President Trump's first term suggested that he was very wanting to...
33:32...
34:03...
34:24I think that's something we can all look forward to.
34:27This is something we can all look forward to.
34:29Peter, let's move to the American side.
34:32The Democratic Party is trying to find a leader to fill the void.
34:36And when it comes to funding Israel, we find that the leader at least in the beginning
34:41is the Republican Senator Bernie Sanders,
34:44who announced in the Senate that he does not want to send any money to Israel
34:50and especially to Netanyahu.
34:53That is, they chose to confront Netanyahu.
34:56How will the American internal affairs affect the funding of this war in the future?
35:01It seems that the Democrats want to compel Israel
35:06to push it to end its war against Hezbollah and against Hamas.
35:13Well, your first question, who's the leader of the Democratic Party?
35:16They don't have one.
35:17As for your first question about who is the leader of the Democratic Party,
35:21they don't have a leader.
35:23As for the latest news, Kamala Harris is the winner among most Democrats
35:27to be the presidential candidate for the party after four years.
35:30This is contrary to her reputation.
35:33In fact, she left the election campaign, but I don't think that situation is sustainable.
35:39If Harris decides to run for president, she will leave the circle of competitors quickly
35:43because she will not be able to fund her campaign.
35:46As for American policy, such as Israel and the Gulf states, it forms a contradiction.
35:51The Democrats have been beaten by all the supporters of Israel
35:55and by the allies of the Arab League in the Democratic Party
35:59because they don't care about their beliefs.
36:02Biden's administration has not done enough to protect its interests.
36:06Biden has angered the Jewish voters of the Democrats who care about Israel's interests.
36:12He has also angered the Arab voters who care about what is happening in Gaza.
36:17As a result, the Democrats are in a predicament and they will have to get out of it,
36:21and it will take a long time.
36:24And James Davis, let's talk about the team.
36:28James, let's talk about the Trump administration team,
36:31which will deal with foreign countries such as Morocco,
36:34and will also deal with the issues of Ukraine and Israel.
36:38We have Senator Rubio, who was elected Foreign Minister.
36:43We have Pete Higgis, the host of Fox News,
36:47the former fighter in Iraq and Afghanistan,
36:50who was elected Minister of Defense.
36:54We have Tulsi Gabbard, who is the Director of Intelligence.
36:59How will this team deal with Trump?
37:13In fact, Trump has chosen one of the members of the Jewish Council,
37:16the former Democratic Party, to direct the American intelligence,
37:19which indicates a good thing.
37:21As you know, she has military experience,
37:24and the Directorate of Defense has military experience.
37:29Marco Rubio, the Directorate of Foreign Affairs,
37:33was born in a dictatorial atmosphere in Cuba,
37:36so they all have unique experiences in life.
37:39And if we talk about Pete Higgis,
37:42because I worked with him before in the Old Fighters Foundation in America,
37:46which he was the head of,
37:48he has military experience,
37:50where he served with America in all of Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo,
37:54and he taught the fight against terrorism in Kabul,
37:57and he is a graduate of Princeton University,
38:00where he was the former Minister of Defense, Rumsfeld.
38:03So if you compare the personal life of Pete
38:06with that of many former defense ministers,
38:09you will find that he has a unique mix of experiences.
38:13He is a fighter in American wars,
38:16and he understands the cost of war and the human cost of it,
38:19so he will be more inclined to send American soldiers to war.
38:23I think that we will see the same diplomatic style through Marco Rubio.
38:27So I think it is an exciting group of interest,
38:30and it will be exciting to see how they will work together,
38:34and we hope that they will work together for the common good.
38:37In George Landreth, let's bring it full circle with...
39:04It's a very interesting question.
39:06I tend to agree with Peter that I'm not at all sure
39:09that his goal is to fix problems.
39:12I think it may well be that what he's trying to do now
39:15is stir the pot and make things worse, so as...
39:34I'm not really optimistic,
39:36but I think that Joe Biden's goal is to fix problems.
39:39I think that what he's trying to do now
39:42is to make things worse, so as...
40:03And Peter Roth, you have been at the intersection of politics...
40:33Well, first, let's be thankful that I'm not...
41:03James Davis, same question to you. You have access...
41:33I would focus intentionally on building out
41:36a communication strategy right now.
42:03I think it's going to take a long time to accomplish the mission,
42:06and you're going to need to bring them along
42:09to build a certain amount of credibility
42:12with the American people to stand with you.
42:15That's what I saw around the wars over time.
42:18When Defense Secretary Rumsfeld tasked me with the first mission,
42:21he was asking for a memorandum,
42:24and he said to me, who is Charlie Wilson,
42:27and why is he important in today's world?
42:30I was asked to write the book and produce the film
42:33entitled Charlie Wilson's War.
42:36So I spent a week reading and researching,
42:39and I learned over the years that when we
42:42drain the resources of a complete war,
42:45we must know that its next president and his administration
42:48and all those who follow him will be committed
42:51to achieving the same solution.
42:54Peter, you assured me that you will not be elected
42:58to the position of National Security Advisor.
43:01But it seems that one of the reasons for Trump's election,
43:04when we look at the conditions set by his administration,
43:07is that he has chosen professional people
43:10who have a history of making decisions.
43:13He did not rely on people like Pompeo,
43:16the former Secretary of State, who will not return,
43:19nor will Ambassador Haley
43:22represent America in the United Nations.
43:25Trump relies on new faces.
43:28How will this affect foreign relations with countries like Morocco,
43:31and also dealing with issues like Ukraine and Israel
43:34in the coming four years?
43:43There are two things that we must take into account.
43:46The first is that Trump was elected this time
43:49to change the way things are going in Washington.
43:52There will be no exception to foreign policy,
43:55nor defense, nor national security from the change
43:58that Americans are looking at.
44:01The second thing that people should remember,
44:04and it is much more important,
44:07is that the top leader in defense
44:10and the top leader in diplomacy in Trump's administration
44:13is President Donald Trump.
44:16He sees himself in the leadership position,
44:19and he relies on his personal diplomacy
44:22and his ability to pick up the phone
44:25and talk to Putin,
44:28and fly to the area where the weapons are being dispatched
44:31between the two Koreas,
44:34and meet with Kim Jong-un,
44:37and take the plane to put it in Israel,
44:40and then in Egypt to meet with President Sisi,
44:43and then go to Riyadh to meet with Prince Mohammed bin Salman
44:46and his daughter.
44:49Donald Trump relies on his personal diplomacy,
44:52so he has assembled a national security team
44:55that he believes will communicate efficiently with the world,
44:58and convey to the world and the American people
45:01what President Trump is doing,
45:04and explain to the world why he did what he did.
