Just talk to me about tariffs as Trump for 30 seconds.
Well, let's choose like maybe two obvious points of tension is maybe an elegant way to say it. Yes. One is foreign policy. There is an enormous range right now, much more so I would argue than even the Democratic Party, among Republicans about what you just defined as peace through strength.
There are people who really put the emphasis on the strength part of that and understand that peace comes through making your enemies fear you and being serious and following up with your threats. There are many other people in your party who really emphasize the peace part of it and seem to sort of ignore how peace is guaranteed. Where do you fall in that debate?
But, Speaker, even that notion of the free world, the idea that Ukraine is sort of at the front lines of the free world, the idea that the Israelis that are fighting terrorists in southern Lebanon and in Gaza are at the front line of the free world— There are people in your caucus who don't believe in that notion. They don't believe in the connectivity of those things fundamentally.
Hamas or Iran?
Is this deal Trump's or Biden's?
There are people that are resigning on the right from the Israeli Knesset, like Ben-Gvir and I think Shmuchek, because they feel like this is breaking the fundamental covenant. In other words, there's a core tension in this war. Bring all the hostages home and defeat Hamas forever. Those things were never reconcilable. And their argument is...
Yaya Sinoir, who was freed with the Gilad Shalit deal, then becomes the mastermind. Who are the terrorists that are going to be released now and commit the next October 7th? What do you make of that argument?
One more question on the deal. Help square for me the fact that Qatar is the country that shields the leaders of Hamas, one of whom just came out with a video saying, victory, and by the way, there's going to be another October 7th. Why would we... Trust Qatar to do that. Why are we so comfortable with the relationship that many in D.C. seem to have with a country that actively harbors terrorists?
Like, explain that to me.
But we don't even need to verify. They're literally putting the leaders of Hamas on television.
OK, let's talk about Biden for a second.
You have said that he is the worst president in the history of this country. Do you want to revise that or do you still stand by it?
Can you tell us a story when you say personal observation? What kind of thing did you see?
Who has been the president for the past year and a half?
Because my wife thinks it's Dr. Jill.
I was at a dinner with a lot of prominent Democratic donors. And there was a, I'm sure you've been at many dinners like this, where someone says something and everyone just kind of repeats it and repeats and repeats. And everyone's in agreement and they're so happy. And the consensus that night was Joe Biden's amazing.
Joe Biden is fully compass meant as he can do anything, incredible president, incredible strength. And one of them sits down after, and we're kind of having a private conversation. I'm like, level with me here. What do you actually think?
And the things that came out of this person's mouth to me in private were the exact opposite of the things they had just proclaimed in front of many of their friends at this dinner party. I guess the phrase is preference falsification, right? The cascade begins when someone tells their private truth out loud and sort of dispels the public lie.
How much of an effect do you think that that had on the election? The sense that people had that they were being lied to
