00:00Senator Kelly comments on Gaza peace deal.
00:04Senator Mark Kelly, Arizona Democrat and former astronaut,
00:08gave President Trump full credit for ending a Middle East conflict,
00:11praising him where most Democrats wouldn't,
00:13even as the Biden administration struggled with the issue for years.
00:18On CNN's State of the Union, of all places,
00:20Kelly told Danabash that Trump deserved a lot of credit
00:23for securing the deal that could finally, finally,
00:26bring the Israel-Hamas war to a close.
00:29So what changed?
00:31Apparently, it only took Trump actually getting something done,
00:34again, behind the scenes.
00:36Meanwhile, Trump sends over Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner,
00:40two names Democrats used to scoff at,
00:42and together, they help stitch together a deal
00:44involving multiple foreign governments,
00:46hostages, military tension, and decades of hatred.
00:50Hostages are being prepped for release,
00:52aid trucks are rolling into Gaza.
00:54This was his deal, he said flat out.
00:57When Trump left office,
00:58the Abraham Accords had brought an actual framework for peace in the region,
01:02and Biden's team, eager to undo anything orange-tinted,
01:05let it fall into the background.
01:07While they were busy organizing climate justice conferences
01:10and obsessing over pronouns in official military documents,
01:13the Middle East started burning again.
01:16Now, with their own party polling lower than expired mayonnaise
01:19and Americans watching in horror as chaos unfolds across the globe,
01:23suddenly, Trump doesn't look so bad.
01:26Hours after Kelly's praise,
01:28Trump flew to Israel on Air Force One to greet the hostages being released,
01:32positioning himself as a key figure in bringing Americans home from a terror conflict.
01:38Think about that.
01:39Trump's been negotiating hostages out of Gaza.
01:41You don't have to love him.
01:43The bigger question?
01:44How many more Democrats will be forced to give Trump credit,
01:46not willingly,
01:48but because the facts leave them no choice?
01:50Because when CNN guests start admitting Trump just brokered peace,
01:54you know the game has changed.
