00:00Welcome to Jesse Waters' prime time tonight.
00:03The president had some extraordinary phone calls and meetings.
00:07Because of that, we are going to see 20 living human beings emerge from the darkness into the light for the first time in two years.
00:13Trump, the peacemaker, cuts the biggest deal of his life.
00:18Make no mistake, President Trump has actually pulled off something here that many presidents before him have failed to do.
00:26This is why I didn't want to do it. I need the lights off, the bright lights.
00:29Bernard, I need you to turn these off. These that are killing me.
00:32Okay, everybody, I'm not that dark.
00:35Uh-oh. The Democrats are about to blow a fuse.
00:40That's your job! That's your job!
00:45Happy Lesbian Day! It is my favorite day of the year.
00:49Happy DEI Thursday! Plus...
00:53Columbus Day, we're back, Italians. We love the Italians.
00:59Remember the whisper that changed the world?
01:06Bush heard war.
01:08Trump heard peace.
01:10And the world celebrating.
01:11We're back, legislators. It is my favorite day of our work.
01:25Okay, let's format women.
01:27It is my favorite day of the year.
01:28We're back, all the people of Israel.
01:30We're back, all the people of Israel and their friends.
01:32We're back, all the people of Israel and our work.
01:35We're back.
01:36We're back.
01:37We're back.
01:37We're back, we're back.
01:38Trump decided to get it on the party, too.
01:45He gave Israel a ring and said, your families are coming home.
01:49Mr. President, we believe in you.
01:52We know you've done so much for us over the past, since you became a president.
01:57God bless you, Mr. President.
01:58God bless America.
01:59Thank you very much.
02:00You just take care of yourselves.
02:01The hostages will come back.
02:03They're all coming back on Monday.
02:08Donald Trump spent all night in the Oval Office, putting the finishing touches on the Israeli-Palestinian
02:13peace deal.
02:14He walked into his quarterly cabinet meeting, and it was all love.
02:19I don't know if one day, perhaps, the entire story will be told about the events of yesterday,
02:23but suffice it to say, it's not an exaggeration that none of it would have been possible without
02:28the president of the United States being involved.
02:36Next week, the last remaining hostages will return to Israel and be reunited with their
02:41families.
02:42At some point very soon, we are going to see 20 living human beings emerge from the darkness
02:47into the light for the first time in two years.
02:49I think it will go down as a historic moment in the history of our country and something
02:53our country should be very proud of, that we have a president that's committed to not just
02:58peace, but to the human aspect of reuniting these families.
03:01The front page of the Jerusalem Post, he's bringing them home.
03:07Lives will always be more important than land.
03:10You can get land back, but you can't get lives back.
03:13And guess what day tomorrow is?
03:15Nobel Peace Prize Day.
03:17And Trump hasn't been thinking about it at all.
03:19I know this, that nobody in history has solved eight wars in a period of nine months, and
03:28I've stopped eight wars.
03:30So that's never happened before.
03:32But they'll have to do what they do.
03:33Whatever they do is fine.
03:35I know this.
03:36I didn't do it for that.
03:37I did it because I saved a lot of lives.
03:40Trump's not being selfish.
03:41If he can't get the Nobel, he'll settle for a one-way ticket to heaven.
03:46But that Nobel would look nice next to his multiple club championships at Mar-a-Lago.
03:50Or in the oval, the gold matches the trim.
03:53Trump's not the only one who thinks he deserves it.
03:56Israel says, stop the count.
03:58A grateful nation thanks President Trump for the return of the hostages, for the peace
04:05he has brought to the region.
04:07I call on the Nobel Committee to award President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize.
04:12The Jewish farmers like that idea, too.
04:14In the fields, they carved Nobel for Trump.
04:18Even Democrats are saying it's too big to rig.
04:21I think the whole point of having a Nobel Peace Prize is for ending wars and promoting peace.
04:29And if he brings the Ukrainian war to its end, I'll be the Democrat leading the committee.
04:37Every Democrat should be celebrating, right?
04:39Rashida Tlaib used to spend weekends banging pots and pans outside of the Capitol.
04:44Screaming free Gaza.
04:46Well, Trump just freed Gaza.
04:48And what did Tlaib say?
04:51Nothing.
04:52Not a tweet.
04:53Not a press release.
04:54Nothing.
04:55Makes you wonder if she really wanted to free Gaza at all.
04:59Maybe she was more into the Intifada.
05:02Even the media is saying Trump pulled off the deal of the century.
05:06May no mistake.
05:07It looks like President Trump has actually pulled off something here that many presidents
05:13before him have failed to do.
05:15It is a remarkable achievement, and President Trump most certainly deserves credit for his
05:20role.
05:21He has done this through diplomacy, pressure, and the sheer force of his personality and
05:26persistence.
05:27There's no way that I can see that this would have been done without Trump's pressure in
05:31the final hours.
05:33Biden couldn't pull this off because he had a nasty relationship with the Saudi prince.
05:38And after October 7th, didn't give Netanyahu enough room for revenge.
05:42Trump's first visit this term was to the Arab states, announcing a bonanza of billion dollar
05:48deals.
05:49Then Trump joined Israel's attack on Iran, bunker busters.
05:53And then he said, all right, you two, knock it off, but still let Bibi have a free hand
05:58in Gaza.
05:59And then the prime minister miscalculated.
06:01He launched airstrikes against Hamas negotiators in Qatar.
06:05Qatar's an ally, a business partner.
06:07We have bases there.
06:08The Arab world was humiliated, and Trump was shocked.
06:12He summoned Netanyahu into the Oval, handed him a phone, and made him call Qatar and apologize
06:17in front of the cameras.
06:19Some said it looked like a hostage video.
06:22Afterwards, Trump put out a 20-point peace plan and told Bibi, sign it or American support
06:28for Israel's done.
06:30When the Israelis were still trying to nitpick parts of the deal, Trump said, stop looking
06:35for loopholes.
06:36Netanyahu countered, how do we know Hamas isn't just bluffing?
06:40Trump said, why are you being so effing negative?
06:44And he told Hamas, sign it or I'm letting Netanyahu off the leash.
06:49That means 72 virgins by New Year's.
06:53Historians are saying Bush, the elder, thought this was impossible.
06:57I said, the man who spent a decade dealing with this, I said, Mr. President, do you think
07:03this ever gets resolved?
07:05And he said, God, I don't know.
07:10That's what one of the most experienced diplomatic presidents in American history thought, that
07:15it was an unknowable thing.
07:17Why couldn't career diplomats get this done?
07:21Kerry, Hillary, Blinken.
07:23We were told Biden was a foreign policy savant.
07:26And now Democrats are asking, what happened?
07:30Why do you think that this was not doable when President Biden was in office?
07:36I think the biggest problem that President Biden had is there was no pressure from Qatar, from
07:47Turkey, from Egypt.
07:48But I think by saying that, it's sort of an acknowledgement Trump has changed that dynamic.
07:53The Middle East didn't respect Biden.
07:56It's never a good idea to tell the Arabs, you're swearing off oil and going green.
08:00And then come calling back to the kingdom, begging for more oil from a guy you called
08:05a killer.
08:07Leaving Afghanistan didn't help very much either.
08:10Trump was a lot different.
08:12Obviously, the President of the United States, a New York real estate billionaire, one of the
08:16most famous New Yorkers in the world, has a lot of interaction with a lot of people who
08:20are very pro-Israel.
08:21I think that was an important set of experiences and life experiences that he brought to the table.
08:26He also, of course, knew one of the most famous Palestinians in the world, Chuck Schumer.
08:29With the help of Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and of course, Donald Trump,
08:37all New York real estate developers, put pressure on both sides and got him to sign on the dotted
08:43line.
08:44Personal diplomacy, business investments, and deterrence, aka Operation Midnight Hammer,
08:50convinced all the parties to listen and follow 47's lead because they trusted him.
08:55And most importantly, they respected him.
08:58When Biden said don't, everyone did.
09:02But with Donald Trump, when he says don't, then you don't.
09:05And now that's the rule, even for Israel.
09:09The world was used to the Obama-Biden way of doing things.
09:12They just throw money at the problem.
09:14And when they didn't get results, they just throw more money.
09:18Trump's always been about making money, not giving it away.
09:21Gaza is going to be slowly redone.
09:26You have tremendous wealth in that part of the world by certain countries.
09:31And just a small part of that, what they make will do wonders for Gaza.
09:38With the hostages freed and when the fighting stops, fingers crossed, an alliance between Israel
09:44and Saudi Arabia can finally gel and the Abraham Accords can spread.
09:49The crippling of the Iranian nuclear program made that possible.
09:52That means we can pivot to the Pacific and back into the Western Hemisphere if the Middle East
09:58can make money, not war.
10:00We spend our money on America, not light it on fire policing a troubled desert.
10:05And who knows, maybe we'll build a Trump Tower in Gaza overlooking the Mediterranean.
10:11The views are astonishing.
10:13Not a bad place to hang the Nobel.
10:16I always said give it to him so we could stop talking about it because it is so obnoxious
10:20that he thinks he should get it.
10:21Why can't we talk about the Nobel?
10:23Obama got one.
10:24That was a DEI prize.
10:26Even he admitted he didn't earn it.
10:29Obama got a prize.
10:30He didn't even know what he got.
10:31He got elected and they gave it to Obama for doing absolutely nothing but destroying our
10:36country.
10:37Now, he was not a good president.
10:39The worst president was sleepy Joe Biden.
10:43But Obama was not a good president.
10:45Trump stopped eight wars since January.
10:48Eight.
10:49A guy who stops wars?
10:51Do you call him Hitler?
10:53How do Democrats feel now trying to arrest the man who made peace in the Middle East?
10:58With all this success, maybe we should let him run for a third term.
11:04David Sachs is the White House Cryptos R and host of the All In podcast.
11:08All right, David Sachs, a real estate tycoon, did something that many, many other people
11:14have never even come close to doing.
11:16Why is that?
11:18Good to be with you, Jesse.
11:19First of all, let's just say how remarkable this is.
11:22A week ago, did anybody think these hostages were coming home?
11:24You have 20 live hostages who are going to be reunited with their families as a result
11:28of this deal.
11:29You've got a ceasefire in Gaza now.
11:31This war that's been going on for two years since October 7th of 2023 is now going to come
11:36to an end.
11:36At least the shooting is going to stop.
11:38You've got the pullback of Israeli troops so that unrestricted aid can come into Gaza.
11:44And you have to say that the difference maker in all of this was President Trump.
11:47I mean, you've got Prime Minister Netanyahu and you've got Hamas, these two parties who
11:52have been in this intractable conflict, Netanyahu is notoriously a tough customer and Hamas are
11:57extremists.
11:58Does anybody think they would have come together and negotiated this on their own?
12:00There's no way.
12:01President Trump made the difference here and brought these parties together.
12:04And like you said, he applied pressure on both sides to make it happen.
12:08And to answer your question, what is it about President Trump that allows him to do this
12:11as a former businessman?
12:12Well, look, he understands the concept of leverage.
12:14He understands how you use carrots and sticks.
12:17And he's pragmatic.
12:19You know, with all these politicians in Washington, all they really do is issue moral condemnations
12:23and moral pronouncements all day long.
12:25And look, there is a time and place for moral condemnations, but not when you're trying to
12:29bring together two parties who hate each other so they can get a deal done.
12:33And President Trump is pragmatic.
12:35He works incredibly hard.
12:37He's assembled a nontraditional team of other business people who are also similarly pragmatic,
12:41folks like Steve Wyckoff, Jared Kushner.
12:43And together, they were able to help bring this deal into place, which I think never
12:49would have happened without President Trump's leadership.
12:51Do you think he's going to be getting the Nobel Peace Prize?
12:55Well, I think he should get it.
12:57And it's not me saying it.
12:58It's the Washington Post.
12:58There's literally a headline in the Washington Post today called Trump deserves a Nobel Peace
13:03Prize.
13:03I never, ever would have thought I would have seen in the Washington Post them saying Trump
13:08deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
13:09But even the Washington Post is saying it now.
13:11How can it be denied?
13:12When you talk about the leverage, how key was it when he goes over there right after getting
13:18sworn in and meets with all these Arab leaders and cuts these huge investment deals?
13:23We sold them a lot of AI.
13:26And was that critical in getting them on board with forcing Hamas to sign?
13:34I think it was.
13:35And Secretary of State Rubio said that it was.
13:37The president went over to the Middle East and he did these deals to bring trillions of
13:40dollars of investment into the U.S.
13:42That by itself was extremely good for the U.S. economy.
13:45But in addition to that, it built relationships.
13:48And it showed the Gulf Arab leaders that President Trump was interested in a shared prosperity
13:52with them.
13:53And that relationship, those relationships built political capital that he could then use to
13:57help get this deal done.
13:58You saw that the Gulf states helped broker this deal as well.
14:02So, yes, absolutely, that trip was something that the president did.
14:05He wanted to do.
14:06He did it for business reasons.
14:07He also did it for diplomatic reasons.
14:09And you can see now that it's paid off.
14:11What is the Trump doctrine?
14:12I think the Trump doctrine is, first of all, he's going to put America first.
14:19That is the most important thing.
14:20He's going to negotiate deals that are good for the United States.
14:25And I think in addition to that, he has an intense interest in peace.
14:28I think like the president said, he didn't do this for a Nobel Prize or for any other reason
14:32than he just hates war.
14:34And I think that he genuinely wants to see the world at peace.
14:37This is the eighth deal of an intractable conflict, a conflict that nobody thought was going
14:42to get resolved.
14:44And he has managed to get it resolved.
14:45So I would say the Trump doctrine is number one.
14:48We're going to make America powerful.
14:49We're going to put America first.
14:50But also, we would like to see the world at peace.
14:53And President Trump's going to do everything he can to make that happen.
14:57And when you're at peace, you can make money.
14:58And that's what a lot of people want to do.
15:01It's peace and prosperity.
15:02In order to get there, you got to stop the killing.
15:04The guy understands value.
15:06He just sees no value in war at all, because he sees the human potential and the potential
15:11in everything.
15:13And wow, what an important week.
15:16I think that's right.
15:16Unbelievable.
15:17David Sachs, great to be with you on this big night.
15:20Good luck out there.
15:24Fox News alert.
15:25Letitia James has been indicted by a federal grand jury.
15:29Senior correspondent Kevin Cork has the details.
15:32Kevin.
15:32Evening, Jesse.
15:33You know, just reading the headline will be, for many, sweet vindication, proving that,
15:38you know, sometimes legal turnabout is, in fact, fair play.
15:41A federal grand jury in Virginia indicting the New York Attorney General Letitia James on
15:47two counts related to alleged mortgage bank fraud.
15:51James, or Big Tish, as she's been monikered by some of her critics, was being probed for
15:56alleged paperwork discrepancies on her Brooklyn townhouse and her Virginia home.
16:01She allegedly declared both to be primary residences on mortgage applications, which
16:05you just can't do.
16:07Though, I should add this, she has publicly denied any wrongdoing.
16:11And she responded to the charges today with a video saying this about the president.
16:17He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding.
16:22All because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General.
16:28Mm-hmm.
16:29Now, we're told that the grand jury was presented with evidence by the new U.S.
16:34attorney, Lindsay Halligan, herself.
16:36That's a rare move.
16:37It's usually handled by lower-level prosecutors.
16:40Halligan, you may recall, is President Trump's former private attorney.
16:43In a statement we received today, Halligan said the charges, as alleged in this case, represent
16:49intentional criminal acts and tremendous breaches of the public's trust.
16:55Halligan's predecessor, Eric Siebert, resigned last month under pressure from the administration.
17:00Sources tell us he was off-ramped for refusing to move forward with obvious charges.
17:05For her part, James has a first scheduled appearance in court on October the 24th.
17:11We'll be watching.
17:12I have a feeling you will, too.
17:14No one is above the law, even Big Tish.
17:17That's right.
17:17All right.
17:18Thank you so much, Kev.
17:19You bet.
17:20Is Trump about to launch airstrikes against Chicago?
17:25Don't move.
17:27Trump's getting love for making peace in the Middle East, but when he tries to make peace
17:31in American streets, everyone's going loco.
17:34If they're going to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize for the Mideast, why don't they
17:37give it to him for what he did in D.C.?
17:39They call him a dictator and bend over backwards to protect the worst of the worst.
17:45Not only are the riots mostly peaceful, Antifa violence is rare and limited.
17:51Antifa is far from a major sophisticated terror organization like Hezbollah, Hamas, or ISIS.
17:57There is no organized hierarchy to the group, and according to the Center for Strategic and
18:01International Studies, compared to right-wing extremists, Antifa-linked violence is rare
18:06and limited.
18:07January 6th, violence was rare and limited.
18:10Antifa's been at it for 100 days.
18:13But Antifa aren't terrorists.
18:15They're soccer moms.
18:16What is going on here nightly at the ICE facility?
18:20Yeah, many of my constituents have been engaged for quite a long time, most of them middle-aged
18:25women who are just trying to bear witness.
18:29They're not bearing witness, they're bearing arms.
18:32This middle-aged woman's packing a machete.
18:35If Democrats want ICE and the Guard to go adios, it's simple.
18:39Do your job.
18:40I told them if they didn't meet our demands for safety and security on the streets and
18:45work with us, then we were going to bring in more federal law enforcement.
18:51The Secretary of War told Ribs the same thing, and then said, drop and give me 20.
18:57Governor, you might try a push-up or two.
18:59In the meantime, our troops will do the job you refuse to do.
19:04JB's not going to be doing the Pete and Bobby challenge, but he could be doing a prison workout
19:09soon, and if Trump does put Pritzker in jail, don't worry, he has his own Kamala.
19:15If Donald Trump thinks that by arresting Governor JB Pritzker that this fight is over,
19:20he is sorely mistaken, because he's going to have to come through me next,
19:23and I'm going to pick up right where JB left off.
19:28Everyone wants the city safe, except for the politicians and judges.
19:32A Biden judge, April Perry, has temporarily blocked Trump from moving the Guard into Chicago
19:39for the next 14 days, while the lawyers hash it out.
19:43But now we're starting to hear from CEOs.
19:46Citadel, one of America's biggest hedge funds, moved its headquarters over crime.
19:51We've gone from probably 1,300 people in Chicago to a few hundred,
19:56from being the primary tenant of one of the largest skyscrapers to,
20:01I think we'll be down to two floors in a year.
20:03Don't worry, that office space won't go to waste.
20:06Kristi Noem's already talking to realtors.
20:09We're purchasing more buildings in Chicago to operate out of.
20:13We're going to not back off.
20:15In fact, we're doubling down, and we're going to be in more parts of Chicago
20:18in response to the people there.
20:19When criminals see good guys with big guns, they start taking sabbaticals.
20:25Think about it.
20:26When you're at a bar, and you see a bouncer, and he looks like Tyrus, you behave.
20:32Democrats aren't afraid of the Guard.
20:34They're afraid the Guard might work, and they'll look feckless.
20:38So they're cooking up conspiracies.
20:40Trump wants to drone strike Americans.
20:43Do they believe that they have the authority by putting some groups on a list,
20:47even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them with no trial, no due process, no nothing?
20:55And, you know, the reality is we can't rule that out.
20:59First they said Trump's going to use the Guard to steal elections,
21:02and now he's going to call in airstrikes over Portland?
21:04At least our conspiracy theories turn out to be true.
21:10Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is here.
21:12Governor, I mean, they are just out of their minds.
21:14Well, I'll tell you what, when Joe Biden was president, you had governors like me step up
21:21and say, wait a minute, they're not enforcing immigration laws.
21:24We're going to step up and fill the void.
21:26We're going to be faithful to the laws that are on the books.
21:29And we were told, oh, no, no, it's a federal function.
21:32The federal government can decide one way or another.
21:34Now the flip side, the shoe's on the other foot, and you have Donald Trump enforcing federal law,
21:40and you have the left in Portland and Chicago, they're not saying it's a federal.
21:45They're actively stymieing the enforcement of federal immigration laws.
21:50I could tell you in Chicago, I didn't know about that lieutenant governor.
21:53I saw that clip.
21:54I could tell you their governor and mayor of Chicago have caused a lot of people to flee
22:00both Illinois and Chicago and move to my state over the years.
22:04And if that lieutenant governor gets unleashed, I think you'll see an even bigger exodus.
22:08Yeah, whenever I'm down in Naples, I see a lot of people from the Chicago area,
22:11and I've been seeing more and more as I've been going down over the years.
22:16What happens next, though?
22:17So, you know, J.B. Back Ribs is talking a big game.
22:20He's saying, you know, over my dead body, he's going to have to come through me first.
22:23What happens if this goes through the court system and they say Trump can send in the guard?
22:28What is the governor going to do?
22:32Well, I don't think he's going to ultimately do anything.
22:35I mean, that's part of the problem.
22:37He has not been somebody who has wanted to aggressively enforce laws against the criminal element.
22:42In fact, they had legislation to eliminate cash bail.
22:46So you'd have people commit serious crimes.
22:48They'd go get arraigned and then they'd get released back on the street with no bail or no restrict or anything.
22:54And that has caused huge problems in the state and obviously in the city.
22:59So ultimately, I think the public is on the side of the president.
23:03And what I found, Jesse, is public safety is primal for people.
23:07You know, you can disagree with someone on taxes, on education, but when your family's safety is at risk, you want to see that remedied.
23:15A lot of people have moved to Florida because of public safety.
23:18But just like D.C., the media said this is the worst thing ever and the locals in D.C., even the mayor was saying thank you and the crime went down.
23:27So I think this crime issue is very potent and I think it spans the political cleavages that we have in our society.
23:34People want safe streets.
23:36So why do you think the Democrats will give Trump credit for seeking peace in the Middle East but not for seeking peace here?
23:43What's the difference? And how do you feel about this deal in Gaza?
23:49Well, I think it's just their instincts are so knee jerk, especially when it comes to immigration.
23:55Remember, his signature issue when he first ran many years ago was the border wall and enforcing immigration laws.
24:02They hated that. They've opposed that every step in the way.
24:05So I just think that's their reflex.
24:07I think that's them catering to their base.
24:09And I think that that's just what they've done for many, many years.
24:13Look, on this deal, I think that the one thing that I can tell has been constant in the Middle East is the Palestinian Arabs and especially Hamas.
24:21They've cared more about destroying Israel than they have cared about taking care of their own citizens.
24:27And that has been the obstacle to peace for many, many years.
24:32And so we'll have to see.
24:33Proof will be in the pudding.
24:34Trust but verify if this deal sticks.
24:37That's going to be something that really has never been able to be done in many, many decades of trying to do this.
24:44And I think one of the key elements is those Middle Eastern countries respect the strength of President Trump.
24:50They know that he is decisive, as you saw with the Iran strikes.
24:55In that region, they want to be on the side of the strong horse.
24:58So I think he's been able to amass an impressive coalition.
25:02And hopefully we can end up with peace in the region at long last.
25:07MSNBC's Joe Scarborough confronted on viral best Biden ever clip.
25:17MSNBC host maintained his assessment based on personal interactions, despite pushback from Mark Halperin.
25:24MSNBC's Joe Scarborough was confronted with a viral clip of him deeming former President Joe Biden in the best Biden ever in March 2024 on Tuesday,
25:37standing by his assessment of the former president citing his personal interactions with him.
25:41Speaking to Mark Halperin during his show, Next Up with Mark Halperin, Scarborough watched the clip of himself where he argued that the former president was far beyond cognate.
25:54I've said for years now, but he's cognate.
25:58But I undersold it when I said he was cognate.
26:01He's far beyond cognate.
26:03In fact, I think he's better than he's ever been intellectually and analytically because he's been around for 50 years, Scarborough said during a March 2024 morning Joe broadcast.
26:14Start your tape right now because I'm about to tell you the truth.
26:17And F you, if you can't handle the truth, this version of Biden intellectually, analytically is the best Biden ever.
26:25After noting that Biden had good days and bad days, Halperin asked Scarborough, looking back at that, do you say, well, it was misleading to say best Biden ever without caveating it and saying except on the days when he's not the best Biden ever?
26:41Scarborough insisted he never saw the bad days personally.
26:44Earlier in the conversation, Scarborough detailed multiple meetings he had with Joe Biden, during which the MSNBC host argued that Biden had a better analysis of the situation related to Ukraine and Russia,
27:14that he had heard from most people.
27:17Halperin pushed back and told Scarborough, well, you did.
27:21You did because you saw him address a dead congresswoman and you saw him in South Carolina.
27:28Halperin argued he could show Scarborough several clips of days when the former president was not the best Biden ever.
27:35And Scarborough pivoted the conversation to Trump.
27:38Scarborough argued he stumbled and bumbled around Mark.
27:42I mean, yeah, he certainly did.
27:45Donald Trump did.
27:46Other politicians did.
27:47And it's actually the same case as a lot of times when I've gone in and talked to Donald Trump.
27:52We go on to Donald Trump and I've heard the media narrative around Donald Trump.
27:56And certainly I've been very critical of Trump.
27:59And when I leave, I have a better understanding, just like Jeffrey Goldberg did a couple of days ago,
28:05a better understanding of where Donald Trump is mentally.
28:08If Donald Trump is losing it, like people have said through the years or not.
28:12And so, again, am I going to look at a clip that's gone viral and pay more attention to that than two and a half, three hours I had with a guy one-on-one going around the world?
28:26No, I'm just not going to, the MSNBC host said.
28:30Are some of the clips bad?
28:31Yeah, they certainly are bad.
28:33Put into proper context, I'm just not going to freak out and melt down on one or two clips here and there.
28:41The morning Joe host added, and again, he bumbled around and he stumbled around, but he asked for quite some time.
28:48That didn't seem to me to get in the way of Joe Biden being able to analyse the most important issues.
28:53Scarborough went after former special counsel Robert Heur in February 2024 for his report on the former president related to the classified document probe that showed Biden struggling with key memories,
29:06including when his son Buu died, when he left the vice presidency and why he was in possession of classified documents he shouldn't have had.
29:13I'm just saying, this guy says such random, hmm, Scarborough said at the time, demanding that Heur apologise for his report.
29:24Does he hope he gets a judgeship?
29:26I think he does.
29:27I think he hopes he gets a judgeship even if Donald Trump gets elected again, because he's trying out, because he humiliated himself with that display, Scarborough added.
29:36New audio of her Biden interview was released on Friday, and CNN's Abby Phillips suggested her undersold the extent of Biden's lapses during the interview.
29:54Trump, Hegseth, announces Golden Dome, a game changer to protect American homeland.
30:01The $175 billion Golden Dome aims to counter growing ballistic missile threats from countries like Russia and China.
30:10President Donald Trump and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the US will soon begin construction of a Golden Dome missile defence system.
30:20They say it will be a next generation game changer, protecting the American homeland from outside adversaries.
30:26A similar system, the Iron Dome, has already been developed in Israel with US assistance, and has proven effective in repelling missile attacks.
30:37Now Trump says a bigger, more technologically advanced, multi-layer dome system will soon be installed in America.
30:44The President announced the one big, beautiful budget bill being discussed in Congress will include $25 billion in initial funding for the project, which he expects will cost $175 billion overall.
30:59He said he expects a major phase of the dome will be completed in under three years, and that it will be fully functional and operational before the end of my term.
31:07He noted, there is significant support for the project in Congress, quipping, it's amazing how easy this one is to fund.
31:17In the campaign, I promised the American people that I would build a cutting-edge missile defence shield to protect our homeland from the threat of foreign missile attacks.
31:26And that's what we're doing today, he said, adding that the Golden Dome will be capable of intercepting missiles, even if they are launched from the other side of the world, and even if they are launched from space.
31:40Trump also announced he is placing Space Force Gen, Michael Goodwin, in charge of the project, saying no one is more qualified for this job.
31:49Hegsev called the Golden Dome a bold initiative and another addition to Trump's long and growing list of promises made and promises kept.
32:01He said, investing in the new system is essential to responding to growing threats from countries like Russia and China.
32:08Ultimately, this right here is the Golden Dome for America.
32:12It is a game changer, said Hegsev.
32:14It's a generational investment in the security of America and Americans.
32:20Addressing Trump, Hegsev said, Mr. President, you said we're going to secure our southern border and get 100% operational control after the previous administration allowed an invasion of people into our country.
32:34President Reagan, 40 years ago, caused a vision for it.
32:37The technology wasn't there, now it is.
32:39And you're following through to say we will protect the homeland from cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, drones, whether they're conventional or nuclear.
32:49Goodwin indicated the Golden Dome is necessary to preserve the safety and security and the quality of life Americans are so used to.
32:59We owe it to our children and our children's children to protect them and afford them a quality of life that we have all grown up enjoying.
33:06Golden Dome will afford that, said Guterlin.
33:11The General said, our adversaries have become very capable and very intent on holding the homeland at risk.
33:18While we have been focused on keeping the peace overseas, our adversaries have been quickly modernising their nuclear forces, building up ballistic missiles capable of hosting multiple warheads,
33:31building up hypersonic missiles capable of attacking the United States within an hour and travelling at speeds of 6,000 miles an hour,
33:38building cruise missiles that can navigate around our radar and defence building submarines, that can sneak up on our shores and worse yet, building space weapons, Guterlin said.
33:50It is time that we change the equation and start doubling down on the protection of our homeland.
