00:00And welcome to Hannity and we are coming to you from Doha, Qatar. It is 9 o'clock on the East

00:08Coast, 4 a.m. here in Qatar. And tonight we'll bring you part two of my exclusive interview

00:13with President Trump aboard Air Force One. We covered a ton of ground. It went on for nearly

00:1950 minutes. All of that, part two, coming up. You don't want to miss it. But first,

00:23another historic day for the United States of America. President Trump began the day with

00:29more high-level meetings in Saudi Arabia, including one with the president of Syria,

00:34Trump urging him to normalize relations with Israel, just like he did Saudi Arabia and reject

00:40radicalism. In return, President Trump is lifting U.S. sanctions on Syria to, quote,

00:45give them a chance at greatness. Take a look for yourself. Among others and friends of mine,

00:51people that I have a lot of respect for in the Middle East, I will be ordering the cessation

00:57of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness.

01:01Now, before departing Saudi Arabia, President Trump also addressed the Gulf Cooperation Council,

01:07where, and I was at this meeting, where he hailed the progress being made in the region and painted

01:12an optimistic picture of lasting peace in one of the world's most volatile regions. Take a look at this.

01:18As I said in my address last night, the Gulf nations are at the forefront of creating a stable, peaceful,

01:25and prosperous Middle East. And I have to say that I've seen such progress. It's really incredible.

01:33I've also seen great unity and friendships. I've spent a little time with you just before this,

01:38and I've seen tremendous unity, tremendous friendship. And the whole world is watching the Middle East,

01:44and many are watching with envy. You have something very special going on. Incredible opportunities are

01:51within reach for this region. If we can simply stop the aggression from a small group of pretty bad

01:57actors. I especially want to thank and congratulate the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain for their vision

02:03and courage in signing the historic Abraham Accords. I hope that in the near future, we can continue

02:11that progress. We have a mandate from the American people, the likes of which people haven't seen

02:16for 129 years. They say it was the most consequential election in America in 129 years.

02:24Now, the president even expressed a willingness to make a deal with Iran, but he issued a very strong

02:31warning demanding an end to Iran's proxy wars and their unyielding sponsorship of terror around the

02:38entire world. The number one state sponsor of terror. Take a look.

02:42I want to make a deal with Iran. I want to do something if it's possible. But for that to happen,

02:47it must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars, and permanently and verifiably cease its pursuit

02:55of nuclear weapons. They cannot have a nuclear weapon. I don't imagine there's anybody at this table or

03:01anybody in this room that would say they can't. I'm strongly urging all nations to join us in fully and totally

03:07enforcing the sanctions that I just placed on Iran.

03:13The president, he has been very clear over and over and over again that Iran will never have nuclear

03:19weapons or the enrichment of uranium. That must stop. He's been clear on that. Everything must be

03:25verifiable. He's also been clear. Nobody wants military strikes. Nobody. However, the world's number

03:31one state sponsor of terrorism coupled with their evil and extreme ideology puts the entire region and world at

03:39risk. So President Trump is being very clear that will not happen on his watch. Now, make no mistake,

03:45there has been no bigger champion of peace in Europe, peace in the Middle East than President Donald Trump.

03:51Bottom line, a peaceful Middle East is good for America. It is good for the region where we are. It is good for the

03:57entire world. This is not just good for our national security, but also our economy will benefit greatly.

04:05This brings to us some massive news from right here in Qatar earlier today. The red carpet,

04:12there you can see it, by the way, rolled out for President Trump's arrival following Saudi Arabia's

04:16show of solidarity with the U.S. Qatar sent its own fighter jets up to escort Air Force One to its landing.

04:23By the way, what you're seeing there, I was able to film some incredible sights. And on the ground,

04:28in an incredible display from Qatar, President Trump's motorcade was escorted in part, you see

04:34there, by Tesla Cybertrucks. Anyway, just as they did yesterday in Riyadh, American flags were lining

04:41the streets of Doha as President Trump made his way to a meeting with the leader of Qatar right here,

04:48where, by the way, he did continue to deliver more victories for America and the American people,

04:54adding on to yesterday's $600 billion commitment from the Saudis yesterday with a commitment to go up to

05:01a trillion dollars, including nearly $150 billion purchased in weaponry. This trip could yield well over a trillion

05:11dollars in the coming months. That means high-paying career jobs for the American people,

05:16and we are now nearing the $10 trillion in monies committed towards American jobs and manufacturing

05:24of things like, oh, that are important, semiconductor chips, pharmaceuticals that will manufacture in

05:30America, automobiles will manufacture in America. President Trump, he signed a series of economic

05:35and defense agreements with the Amir of Qatar, including an agreement from Qatar Airwaves to purchase

05:41Boeing jets, which, according to President Trump, would include 160 Boeing jets. That's worth up to

05:48$200 billion. All told, the White House says today's agreements will generate more than $1 trillion

05:54in economic exchange between the U.S. and Qatar, bringing the total from this trip so far to

06:01trillions of dollars in investments. Over the first two days of the trip, President Trump has delivered

06:07one victory after another, after another. You wouldn't know it from the legacy media mob,

06:11while simultaneously outlining a vision for a brighter future for the Middle East, a safer world,

06:18a better America, and it is now more abundantly clear than ever. In order to counter Iran,

06:25the Middle East has to go all in on Donald Trump and the United States and buy into peace,

06:31reject radicalism. Don't turn a blind eye to radicalism. Embrace the relationship of this historic trip.
