>> Brian: AS EXPECTED, BACK
WITH A FOX NEWS ALERT.
PRESIDENT BIDEN ARRIVING IN
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, SAFELY,
KICKING OFF THE FIRST LEG OF HIS
FOUR-DAY JOURNEY THROUGH THE
MIDDLE EAST.
THAT WILL WRAP UP WITH A VISIT
TO SAUDI ARABIA.
>> Steve: THAT’S RIGHT.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CAMERAMAN IS
ZOOMING IN.
THE RED CARPET LEADS TO
AIR FORCE ONE THERE ON THE
TARMAC AT BEN-GURION AIRPORT.
AS A VISIT STARTS TODAY, IT’S
GOING TO START A THREE-DAY VISIT
TO THE COUNTRY.
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE IRAN
NUCLEAR DEAL ARE EXPECTED TO BE
AT THE CENTER OF THE MEETINGS
WITH THE ISRAELIS.
DURING HIS STAY, MR. BIDEN IS
EXPECTED TO LEARN ABOUT THE
COUNTRY’S NEW R&B MISSILE
DEFENSE SYSTEM.
HE WILL ALSO VISIT THE YAD
VASHEM HOLOCAUST MUSEUM AND WILL
RECEIVE THE ISRAEL MEDAL OF
HONOR.
>> Ainsley: THEY WILL STOP ON
THE WEST BANK AND HAD TO
SAUDI ARABIA TO MEET WITH THE
CROWN PRINCE.
AND THERE IS COME AIR FORCE ONE.
WE ARE WAITING ON HIM TO COME
OUT.
HAVEN’T SEEN THEM YET.
CT LET’S NOT WAIT ANY LONGER TO
BRING IN DAN CRENSHAW.
CONGRESSMAN CAMILLA COME BACK.
FOUR DAYS IN ISRAEL, WHAT DO YOU
EXPECT TO EMERGE FROM THIS?
YOU WILL GO WITHOUT AN ISRAELI
OFFICIAL TO EAST JERUSALEM AND
THE WEST BANK, AS WELL.
>> THIS OBVIOUSLY MARKS A PRETTY
DRASTIC CHANGE FROM HOW TRUMP
APPROACHED THE MIDDLE EAST.
HE APPROACHED IT SAYING VERY
FORTHRIGHTLY THAT ISRAEL IS OUR
ALLY, WE WILL SUPPORT ISRAEL.
A LOT OF INTERESTING
CONSEQUENCES.
WE HAD THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS, VERY
CLEAR DIRECTION FOR THE ENTIRE
REGION FROM THE UNITED STATES.
WE SAID WE WERE GETTING OUT OF
THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL AND THAT
WAS POPULAR WITH THE ISRAELIS
AND REALLY POPULAR WITH OUR
ALLIES IN SAUDI ARABIA, AS WELL.
SO IT’S THROUGH THAT STRENGTH
AND CLARITY THAT WE CREATED WHAT
WAS REALLY UNPRECEDENTED
ALLIANCE, AS SHAKY AS IT MIGHT
BE.
IT IS STILL AN ALLIANCE EMBODIED
BY THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS.
I THINK IT’S A BIT OF A COLD
RECEPTION BECAUSE BIDEN RAN ON
AND CONTINUES TO PUSH FOR AN
IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL THAT IS VERY
UNPOPULAR WITH THE ISRAELIS AND
VERY UNPOPULAR WITH THE SAUDIS.
HE CONTINUES TO PUSH FOR
ANTI-ENERGY POLICIES.
SO THESE THINGS AREN’T GOOD.
AND THIS VISIT TO EAST JERUSALEM
WITHOUT ANY ISRAELIS WITH THEM
IS EXTREMELY PROBLEMATIC AND
EXTREMELY SYMBOLIC THAT THIS
ADMINISTRATION AND THE AMERICAN
LEFT IN GENERAL PLAY SOME KIND
OF MORAL EQUIVALENCE ON ISRAELIS
AND PALESTINIAN TERRORIST
ORGANIZATIONS THAT CONTINUE TO
LAUNCH MISSILES AT THEIR
NEIGHBORS.
BUT A NECESSARY MEETING
NONETHELESS.
>> Steve: HE’S GETTING A WARM
RECEPTION HERE, THEY HAVE ROLLED
UP THE REST OF THE RED CARPET
RIGHT UP TO AIR FORCE ONE.
IT’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO
SEE, CONGRESSMAN FANSHAWE, IF,
AS THE PRESIDENT COMES DOWN THE
STAIRS FROM THE AIRPLANE,
WHETHER OR NOT HE SHAKES IN THE
HANDS OF THE WELCOMING
COMMITTEE.
AS I WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT
TOLD US, APPARENTLY THE
WHITE HOUSE DOCTOR HAS SAID HE’S
NOT GOING TO SHAKE ANYBODY’S
HANDS BECAUSE OF COVID EVEN
THOUGH HE SHOOK A COUPLE HUNDRED
HANDS YESTERDAY.
BECAUSE THE WHITE HOUSE DOES NOT
WANT AN IMAGE OF HIM SHAKING THE
HAND OF MBS WHO IS GOING TO BE
ASKED FOR A BUNCH OF OIL IN TWO
DAYS.
>> I THINK THEY ARE OVERTHINKING
IT.
JUST SHAKE SOMEBODY’S HAND WHEN
YOU MEET THEM.
THIS ISN’T ROCKET SCIENCE HERE.
STEEL EMBEDDED COVID,
CONGRESSMAN! >> Ainsley: IT
WAS COVID TODAY BUT NOT
YESTERDAY.
>> Brian: TUESDAY WAS TACO
TUESDAY SO TODAY IS
DON’T-SHAKE-HANDS WEDNESDAY.
>> Ainsley: SORRY, DO YOU HAVE
A QUESTION?
>> Brian: JUST REAL QUICK,
CONGRESSMAN, WHEN YOU ARE WITH
ISRAEL, THEY WILL TALK ABOUT THE
IRANIAN DEAL.
HOW DO WE MAKE IT CLEAR?
THE IRANIANS DON’T WANT THE DEAL
AND NOBODY ELSE WANTS THE DEAL.
WHEN IS THE PRESIDENT GOING TO
REALIZE YOU SHOULDN’T GET THE
DEAL?
WHY IS HE STILL HOLDING ONTO
THIS DEAL?
IT’S ABOUT EVAPORATE ANYWAY.
>> I DON’T KNOW WHY DEMOCRATS
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OBSESSED WITH
THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL.
I DON’T KNOW, WHEN ALL THE
ALLIES ARE TELLING US THE
OPPOSITE AND OUTLIER
INTELLIGENCE TELLS US THE OPPOSITE
ANY SHRED OF COMMON SENSE HE
MIGHT HAVE TELLS US THE IRANIANS
ARE GAMING THIS OUT, THEY ARE
LONG-TERM THINKERS, THEY ARE
CLEVER AND THEY ARE DECEITFUL.
I HOPE THE ISRAELIS AND THE SAUDIS SHALL INTELLIGENCE
SHARE INTELLIGENCE THAT IS
PERSUASIVE AND SAY, NO MATTER
WHAT YOU DO, THEY WILL GO DOWN
THIS PATH.
THE ONLY WAY TO DETER THEM IS
THROUGH STRENGTH.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW
THAT THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES IF
THEY PASS THESE LINES.
YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE OTHER THINGS
IN THESE DEALS, LIKE MEDDLING
THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST, LIKE
THE REGIONAL DESTABILIZATION
EFFORTS, THE TESTING OF
BALLISTIC MISSILES THAT HAVE THE
CAPABILITY FOR NUCLEAR WARHEADS.
ALL THESE THINGS HAVE TO BE ON
THE TABLE.
THE ISRAELIS KNOW THAT, THE
SAUDIS KNOW THAT.
WE’VE UNDERSTOOD IT, AS WELL.
>> Ainsley: LET’S TALK ABOUT
THE BORDER, BECAUSE HE MET WITH
THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
YESTERDAY AND THEY TALKED ABOUT
LEGAL PATHWAYS TO CITIZENSHIP.
AND MEXICO IS ASKING US TO
EXPAND OUR NUMBER OF WORK VISAS
AND WELCOME MORE REFUGEES, AND
THEY’VE AGREED TO PAY
$1.5 BILLION TO IMPROVE
SMARTBOARD OR TECHNOLOGY.
THEN HE ALSO SAID, "COME DOWN TO
MEXICO, OUR GAS IS CHEAPER THAN
IT IS IN THE UNITED STATES."
WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO THE
CONVERSATION YESTERDAY?
>> TAKING A STEP BACK, I THINK
THEY DO NOT SEE THINGS ALL THAT
DIFFERENTLY WHEN IT COMES TO
IMMIGRATION.
IT DOESN’T REALLY BOTHER THEM
THAT THERE’S MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
CROSSING OUR BOARD ILLEGALLY.
IT SHOULD, OF COURSE.
THIS EMPOWERS THE DRUG CARTELS
AND MEXICO TO THE TUNE OF
MILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
WHICH MAKES THEM A VERY
DIFFICULT ENTITY TO DEAL WITH
FOR THIS GOVERNMENT.
THAT BEING SAID, LET’S NOT
FORGET, PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS ABLE
TO GET THEM TO DO THE REMAINING
MEXICO POLICY.
HE DID THAT THROUGH NEGOTIATION
AND THREATENING TARIFFS.
THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT, I
BELIEVE, CAN GO EITHER WAY.
IT DEPENDS WHO THE AMERICAN
PRESIDENT IS IN THIS CASE THE
AMERICAN PRESIDENT SEEMS TO WANT
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
SO THIS CONVERSATION IS EXACTLY
WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT.
I THINK HE’S JUST PLAYING
WHATEVER SIDE IS PLACED IN FRONT
OF HIM.
>> Steve: SINCE WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT THAT, YOU HAVE INTRODUCED
A BILL TO CRACK DOWN ON ABUSE
WITH THE ASYLUM PROCESS BECAUSE
THERE ARE MANY.
>> THAT’S THE CORE OF THE
PROBLEM AT THE BORDER.
IT’S NOT THAT PEOPLE ARE EVEN
TRYING TO GET AWAY.
THEY ARE TURNING THEMSELVES INTO
BORDER PATROL BECAUSE THEY
BELIEVE THEY WILL BE LET LOOSE.
IT’S A HUGE INCENTIVE MECHANISM.
YOU HAVE TO BEGIN TO REVERSE
THAT.
FIRST OF ALL, WITH THE ASYLUM
PROCESS, MY BILL WOULD MAKE IT
ILLEGAL TO CLAIM ASYLUM IF YOU
CROSS THE BORDER ILLEGALLY.
IF YOU GO TO TO THE POINT OF ENT
IF YOU CROSS THE BORDER
ILLEGALLY AND VIOLATE SECTION
13, 25, AND WHEN YOU’RE DEPORTED
HE STARTED TO CLAIM ASYLUM, THAT
WOULD BE ILLEGAL.
WE ALSO CHANGE THE STANDARDS
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY ARE A
LITTLE VAGUE, AND IT NEEDS TO BE
MORE SPECIFIC.
THE PERSECUTION FROM THE
GOVERNMENT.
>> Ainsley: HE’S WALKING DOWN
AND LET’S SEE IF HE SHAKES AND
HANDS.
HE IS BEING FIXED-BUMPED. >> Steve: CLOSE ENOUGH.
>> Steve: CLOSE ENOUGH.
>> GOOD MIDDLE GROUND, I GUESS.
>> Steve: OH!
AND WONDER IF HE WILL FIST BUMP
MBS.
CALL FAUCI, THAT LOOKS LIKE
CLOSE CONTACT.
>> Brian: I WANT SHAKE, BUT
I’LL BREATHE ON YOU.
>> Ainsley: WHAT’S GOING ON?
VERY INFORMAL.
