Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your morning show with Michael Dil Choonho.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
And today is a big day for the president.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
This will be the first of his second term, second
visit with King Abdul from Jordan, and our White House
correspondent John Decker is here.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
King Abduall is he any relation to Paula Abduell.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Well, it's pronounced Abdullah and always no relation to Paula Abdul.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We knew that they sent out a thing for our
interview today.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Make sure you pronounce it Abdullah, So I thought we
would do Abdul and just to see if you corrected it.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Yesh.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
No.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
But so all the speculations, what are they going to
be talking about? And I guess that's a matter of
what narrative people are believing. If you think Donald Trump
really wants to own the Gosa, and then it could
be about that. If you think it's about maybe others
paying to rebuild it and then kind of watching over
it so radical Islamis don't rule it and we end
up back in the same place.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That could be the discussion. Which is it? You think?
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Well?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
I think certainly top of the agenda is a follow
up in terms of what President Trump said last week
during that press conference that he had with Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Nettnyahu the idea of the US owning Gaza
and moving nearly two million Palestinians from Gaza into other
neighboring Arab countries.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Including Jordan. And the President said yesterday essentially that he
has leverage. He said, I would deny the aid that.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
The US provides to Egypt and Jordan if they don't
let in.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Those Palestinians from Gaza into their country. So I think
that's got to be the number one item on the agenda, Michael.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
And we won't know for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
And the reason I say that it's a closed meeting
unlike the meetings that the.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
President had last week with the Israeli Prime minister where
you had that joint press conference, no joint press conference. Today,
it's a closed meeting in the Oval office.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Well, you just answered one of my biggest questions because
I kne it was a closed meeting, but I thought
maybe they might inviteed reporters in and have a joint
state and afterwards, Uh, obviously.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
You know King is no.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
The reason being is because.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
King Abdullah never does those photo ops sprays.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
That you have at the top of the meetings.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
He doesn't do them with you know, whether it's Joe
Biden in the White House or Barack Obama in the
White House or Donald Trump in the White House. So
it doesn't surprise me at all that it's a closed
meeting today.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
All right, visiting with John Decker, White House correspondent, on
the president's plans today to meet with King Abdallah. So
let me ask you this, if if the strategy is
because there's been a lot of great area, and I
don't I think I'm following it right, And then I
don't know if I'm just getting media twisted. I think
with the president, is you correct me if you if
(02:43):
I'm wrong, you were in the room.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I saw you adjusting your tie.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
All right, So I hear the President saying the place
is a disaster area. It's uninhabitable, it's rubble. Nobody can
live there. So we're gonna rebuild it. We're gonna invent
who's gonna live there. He even made it clear, well,
the people of the world, and certainly the Palestinian people,
once it's rebuilt, once it's safe and prosperous and there's
great jobs, they will come back, and yet you still
(03:07):
get media reports saying not necessarily let them back.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I can't get clarification on that.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Every time I listened to clips over and over again,
it sounds like the president's making it clear, we're going
to rebuild it, then they come back.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Well, the President made clear in an interview that he
did with Fox.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
That they won't be coming back.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
That once they leave Gaza, you know, to go to
Jordan and to go to Saudi.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Arabia or to go to Egypt.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
That's their permanent home.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
That's what he said just within the past twenty four hours,
and I realized he has said different things at different times.
That's the most recent thing that he said in regards
to his vision for Gaza, his vision for.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
The Middle East.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Trust me, this is on the President for not being
crystal clear. I'm not arguing with you. But that's the
clip I kept listening to. And his response to back was, well,
there's no place for him to go.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I think he's trying to.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Say they have to go here, then we repair it,
then they come back. But I don't know. It hadn't
been clear and it hadn't been consistent. That's something for
them to work on.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Well, you're right, Michael, it hasn't been consistent, that's for sure, because,
as you point out, you could play a clip from
last week and that clip could be at odds with
what he's saying this week. So not so clear.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
And in addition to that, you may have seen the
news that President Trump.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Made yesterday in the Oval Office.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
While signing a number of executive orders, including executive orders
imposing new twenty five percent tariffs on imported steel and aluminum.
The news that he made was is that there's an
ultimatum for Hamas, the terrorist group that's holding those hostages
and has been holding those hostages for almost a full
year and a half, and the message that he wanted
to deliver to them is release those hostages by this Saturday,
(04:52):
by noon, or in the President's words, there will be
hell to pay, all right, So that.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
President had credibility because when he first made that warning,
that's when things started moving towards peace talks, towards the
release hostage. Here they're aiding like the numbers, they get
fifty terrorists back for every woman, or thirty terrorists back
for every meal. Obviously, the president isn't pleads with the flow,
and now he's making it clear all by Saturday at
noon or here comes the hell, and may I add,
(05:19):
you better follow through with all hell breaking lose or
you're not gonna have credibility next time.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So let's go.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Well, I realizes that he realized that he's you know,
he's criticized Barack Obama for you know, when he was
president crossing the red line, and of course there was
no no response from the Obama administration after a neat
SYI across.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
That red line.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
So he's aware of when you issue a threat, you
need to follow through with that threat if the threat
is not adhere to in terms of.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
What you want.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
First things first, PAULA Abdullah meeting, Paul meeting with the president.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
That's right there.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You playing along with this love ovents.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
