Dinesh D'Souza

We've heard the normal political talk.

a lot of it fundamentally dishonest.

Let's bring in a guy who's transactional, who knows how to run things.

In fact, we're gonna bring in not just any kind of businessman, we're gonna bring in like a real estate guy.

And that's in fact what happened.

And so Trump, I would argue, is sort of the world's first, certainly America's first real estate president, by which I mean, he's protecting the property values, of course, the home values, of course, the people, also the assets.

of the United States, and he views the world through that framework.

I think it's important to understand Trump before we defend Trump, before I attempt to make a defense of Trump.

So in my opening statement, I'm going to make no defense.

I'm just sort of laying out how Trump, I think, views the Middle East, how he views Iran.

Essentially, Trump is trying to create a peaceful, prosperous framework for the Middle East.

Even when Trump looks at Gaza, he's like, hey, listen, I'm a real estate guy.

This is a bunch of rubble.

Why can't we have buildings, coffee shops, maybe a Trump Tower, people going to work every day instead of all this death cult, instead of we love death more than life?

Trump looks at the Middle East and he sees many Muslim countries that want to trade, that want to do business, that want to sell oil, that want to do AI, that want to build robotics.

And here you've got this death cult in Iran and it's been going for 50 years.

And it's all about debt to America and we want to get nuclear weapons and we want global jihad.

And basically, I think Trump's view is these are arsonists.

in in a real estate neighborhood and they need to be stopped so i think that is the fundamental motivation of trump in this situation i'll make my defense of it later here i'm merely giving a description a brief description of how i think trump sees the region and indeed the world okay that was three minutes you want to call it there dinesh i'm fine for right now yes okay so we'll move into timed responses now myron you want to start off five minutes

I think in order to get a grasp of this, and there's a lot of detail here, and I'm happy to go into really all of it, but I want to stay initially at least on the big picture a little bit because radical Islam comes out of the deserts of Arabia in the 7th century.
