=== Counterterrorism vs. Peace Deals (01:29) ===

[00:00:00]  If I'm anything, I'm a counterterrorism guy.
[00:00:13]  I was a terrorism prosecutor, did a lot of intel terrorism work, and then my first tour as a civilian in the military was targeting terrorists with our Special Forces guys.
[00:00:23]  So, unfortunately, you have a juxtaposition of two policies involving the Middle East.
[00:00:30]  President Trump obtains the impossible with multiple peace deals with Israel and Middle Eastern countries and African countries.
[00:00:39]  And then fast forward in 120 some plus days in the Biden administration, they're making fun of the peace deals that President Trump achieved.
[00:00:46]  And now Israel and Hamas are basically at a war.
[00:00:51]  And I think that basically shows the difference in leadership.
[00:00:57]  The priorities that President Trump placed on our relationship with Israel and going after terrorist organizations.
[00:01:06]  So make no mistake about it, Hamas is a foreign terrorist organization.
[00:01:09]  That FTO designation, it means something in the US law.
[00:01:13]  It means they are terrorists by law under the United States.
[00:01:17]  And we cripple them with sanctions.
[00:01:19]  We limit their ability to move.
[00:01:21]  Why do we do that?
[00:01:22]  Because they've conducted terrorist activities around the world, killing Americans and American allies.
[00:01:27]  And so it's a very high bar to meet.
