So, Steve, what we see here, though, I think, is that the president is working in to create a new normal for the Middle East, a new normal whereby in you're going to have the Americans

You're going to have the Gulf nations.

Israel will be there, of course.

But perhaps, and I keep saying this, this is all about a grand deal that we're going to see between the United States and China come when, May 14th, when the president heads over to Beijing to sit down as well with Xi Jinping.

Well, that's the whole thing about American Suez, because that's the issue.

As Captain Fennell has drilled into us, keep the main thing the main thing.

The defense of Taiwan is in the vital national security interests of the United States.

Let me just reiterate this.

The Middle East and the Gulf Emirates and the Persian Gulf and Ukraine, you roll it all up, it's a sideshow.

It's just a sideshow.

And the Israel situation is a sight.

I don't care what Mark Levin and all his colleagues are all throwing the toys out of the pram this morning.

President Trump goes from the world's greatest leader to, oh, you're quitting too early.

The Israel first crowd.

That's a sideshow to a sideshow.

When they talk about American Suez with the Suez Canal, Nasser, an Arab nationalist, not a although.

supposedly a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, but he was an Arab nationalist in the era of Arab nationalism, decided to take the Suez Canal.

Both Israel and the Brits put together a counter striking force, and they assumed that the United States of America was going to be there with them.

It was General Eisenhower who had led the coalition

uh in the great crusade in world war ii in europe said we're not doing that that's kind of outside of our bailiwick uh you know we fought in the desert against rama we're not going back there you guys going to have to handle his own and that was a shock anthony eden these guys were in shock and it was really the really the beginning of the at least the end of the empire east of suez uh it came as a shock that's why you're going to hear this time this is america's suez right here what president trump did i think far far far from it
