And so I think ending this season of government intervention, whether it be tariffs, which are taxes at the border,

whether it be price controls, whether it be nationalization of businesses around the country.

Now, 13 different businesses have been subject to nationalization steps by this administration.

Let's get back to freedom.

Let's get back to free markets.

And I promise our group and I personally am going to continue to be a voice for the principles that have always made America free and prosperous.

Thank you.

Thanks for having me on.

Well, I think it's important to remember the very first days of our administration.

Back in 2017, President Trump's first international trip was to a conference of Arab nations in Riyadh.

From very early on, we sensed that it was important.

to begin not just with Saudi Arabia, but to reach out to Arab countries, even while we stood without apology for our most cherished ally, Israel.

I mean, we moved the American embassy to Jerusalem.

We recognized the Golan Heights.

Many said that would be inconsistent with peace in the region.

But what they forgot was that President Trump, in our four years together,

aggressively reached out to Arab nations.

At the same time, we isolated Iran, which is a leading state sponsor of terrorism in the region, and at the end of our four years, signed the Abraham Accords.

And my hope is, as MBS comes to the White House today, that in addition to the other issues that I'm sure will be discussed from the standpoint of AI and energy security,

and others, is I am hopeful the president will engage the crown prince very directly on the need for Saudi Arabia to lead other nations into an expansion of the Abraham Accords.
