So just to give you quick numbers real quick, 142 billion arms deal with Saudi, 600 Saudi investment into the U.S., $200 billion Boeing deal with Qatar, lift sanctions on Syria. Quietly, very quietly, a $1 billion arms deal is approved with Israel. Okay. And then Trump basically says, Iran, make your move, buddy, because the nuclear deal is going to be hanging on your shoulder.

Well, yeah. Well, top Iranian officials say that Tehran would forego highly enriched uranium and nuclear deal with Trump. So Trump is in big-time negotiations with them. But you know what it is? Just really fast, this is what leadership looks like. He's not there to bow. He's not there to apologize. He's not there to send – Pallets of cash. Okay, he's making deals. He's stopping the bloodshed.

Excuse me. And he's showing strength. Unlike Biden. You see, bro, compare him to Joe Biden. Joe Biden, besides the falling down the stairs, when he met MBS, you know what he did? He fist bumped him. He's not even like... During COVID. No. No, it wasn't during COVID. It wasn't during COVID. Regardless, you don't fist bump a freaking leader of a country, okay?

And in my opinion, it's all to isolate Iran.
