>> president trump's plan to bring stability to the middle east has sent shock waves around the globe. they must not be paying attention. during a joint news conference with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, the president suggested the united states "take over the war-torn gaza strip, rebuild gaza into the riviera of the middle east." >> the potential of the gaza strip is unbelievable. i think the entire world, representatives from all over the world, will be there. the will -- palestinians also. palestinians will live there. many people will of there. they have tried the other for decades and decades and decades. it's not going to work. it didn't work. it will never work. you have to learn from history. history, you can't just let it keep repeating itself. we have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal. i don't want to be cute.

i don't want to be a wise guy, but the riviera of the middle east. this could be magnificent. >> you're watching "outnumbered." i'm harris faulkner, here with my cohosts emily compagno and kayleigh mcenany. also joining us, lili gil valletta, culture plus group and -- and paul mauro, fox news contributor, attorney, founder of opsdesk.org close web retired nypd inspector. i have been saying that this is not a shock to many people, kayleigh. he means what he says. he says "i don't want to be a jokester or a wise guy." nobody thinks he's kidding. >> it's not a joke, and you are right, it should not be a shock. as i was watching this yesterday, there was a line that i wish the media would have listened to. he said, looking at president trump, "you see things others do not. you say things others do not

say." the jaws drop and people sit back and realize maybe, he was right. the media didn't listen to that. those gathered in the room. i watched the channels last night. it was pandemonium to freak out was only seconds to june 27th, the day j'vonne hadley disastrous debate. i just thought to myself that they haven't learned the lesson yet. the lesson is maybe trump is not trying to take gaza. maybe, this is a grand part of a negotiation to get iran to come to the table come out to hold back the proxies, to stop its nuclear warfare on the world. my lesson to the media, this one line i wish they would take: president trump is playing for dimensional chess, you are playing checkers. >> if they even have a game board. >> good point. >> in opportunity to go live with -- in tel aviv. the very latest.

>> good afternoon. the news overnight echoing across the region. has president trump said the united states will take over gaza. the commander in chief left open the possibility of u.s. forces operating inside the strip. we do know his plan is to have all palestinians removed two other regional countries, like egypt and jordan. both have rejected the idea, and overnight, saudi arabia pushed back on the concept of forceful displays end. thomas also responded to trump as cease-fire talks are set to resume in qatar to discuss phase two of the deal. a senior official telling fox news that any manipulation in implementing the agreement may cause it to collapse. the ironically called idea the idea of a crime against humanity. there are over 2 million civilians living gaza. many speak out against forceful displacement, one man saying this. speak of course the plane of u.s. president donald trump will fail, because gazans hold onto

their land, country, and soil of their nation. many wars passed on palestine, specifically gaza, and did not leave the palestinian people -- to migrate or travel to other countries. >> remember, there are still dozens of living hostages being held by hamas inside gaza. they are using these hostages as leverage in the ongoing cease-fire talks. these comments from president trump may be consequential at the negotiating table. >> thank you. paul, when we talk about this issue, one of the things kayleigh was bringing up -- and you can hear it from the details in the ground -- there are a lot of things going on simultaneously. it seems clear to me that the ultimate goal right now is to take the temperature down in the middle east. so whatever people understand, but if they understand about what the president is doing, that's always on the table.

>> there is negotiation here that has to happen. i think this is part of a negotiation plan. this is a ploy to put pressure on some of similar goals to step up. i don't see anybody else coming up with them. >> you mean the other arab countries that sit and watch like it's a movie? >> precisely, and have clutched their pearls when the united states goes to step in. of course, iran behind the whole thing. was taken on his word. this government in new york city couldn't get it done but trump does in months. the upper west side, nobody could do anything, it's a wasteland. next thing you know, there were these -- these buildings with trump on its name. they couldn't deal with the fact that you saw trump when you drive on the west side highway. the point is this: he sees a building project. he is used to pushing through that she's saying "i got for the mafia in new york. i had to negotiate with them." hamas is another mafia.

it's just another group operating on that. "i can get through that, get something done." you have to take him on his word appeared just placing people is very different -- and what he had to to hear, 2 million people. if anybody can do it, it's him. if you are not going to take him at his word, let's see your plan. >> jayla park he is saying that is true and has so much heart and compassion for the people in the ground, you have to move those 2 million people, and we get that, but look at the condition they are in. they are hungry. they are on housed. they have been through hell. he gets it. you can just leave them sitting there. he legitimately is looking forward. >> i know that 80-plus percent of them voted hamas into power. at the end of the day, as people blame president trump for actions, the reality is who are you blaming to begin with for the deplorable conditions and refusing to allow this people to flee at the beginning of the war after hamas invaded israel?

when this news broke last night, i was out to dinner with two of my friends who live in israel and are here visiting. i was fascinated to have a conversation with them and be there in real time for reaction, which was one of joy, jubilation, and first and foremost concern for the safety and health of hostages still yet to be returned. i know that as we talk about neighboring countries -- jordan, saudi arabia of course -- their goal is peace, stability, and economic prosperity, which rests on the notion that iran not be emboldened and act through proxies. remember what they said last year: the king of jordan said no refugees in egypt, no refugees in jordan. the president of egypt said "we aren't going to bring -- it risks bringing hamas into our borders." it risks violating it, the agreement of peace between egypt and israel if these guys launch missiles across the border into israel from within the borders. my point is that they are scared of hamas. that's what i read between the lines. you can't accept refugees

because you are afraid hamas is within them. then we got housecleaning to do. the point is that will be done with president trump now at the helm. i see this as an opportunity to push back on those neighbors that have not accepted those refugees, not just last year, but for decades during this entire crisis. >> lily, this is also kind of like if you can make a tariff for the middle east, and get people to believe you would levy it. this is sort of like that. i'm sure people believe him. maybe the democrats here don't come about people in that part of the world know who he is. >> we see a mention of peace through strength. economic strength, economic develop in. we need to understand that when war is happening, it's not just the loss of building an obvious lives, but you lose hope. the human spirit is impacted when that is around you. and what a great way to instill hope, even if it sounds like a headline that couldn't be believable, the riviera. but why not?

is this an opportunity not just for america to step in, which is what everybody is hanging onto? but he is nudging to the neighboring countries. is this an opportunity to expand on the abraham accord? we have uae, bahrain, sit on. -- sedan. -- we realize what a coalition on that side of the world can look like for the benefit of the region. i'm excited to see where this goes, as i started going for a new framework and conversation. >> that part of the world also is not used to seeing something that -- a friendship with israel. trump was after hamas before he was president. "give the hostages up or there will be hell to pay after inauguration day." they know he's got israel's back. there is no gray area. >> and he made clear yesterday "i want the best for the gazans too." this is someone who wants a deal that's good for everyone. he wants peace, stability, and to see that beautiful moments when not in yahoo look at him

and said "i have had no greater friend or ally than president donald trump." it's about time. >> protests are underway outside of the usaid office, democrats panicking over president trump and elon musk's efforts to cut government spending. stay with us. this is life. life, diabetes, there's no slowing down. each day is a unique blend of people to see and things to do. that's why you choose glucerna to help manage blood sugar response. uniquely designed with carbsteady. glucerna. bring on the day. at ameriprise financial, we know our clients are so much more than clients. they're conquerors and champions, and what matters most to them matters most to us. it's no wonder we have a 4.9 out of 5 client satisfaction rating. ameriprise financial. ♪ ♪ three little birds ♪ ♪

>> you are looking live at the protests in support of usaid, underway right now on capitol hill. elon musk and doge are getting the agency of what the white house calls waste and abuse. it's panicking some democratic lawmakers who joined the protesters yesterday over the administration's efficiency

efforts. >> we will win. [cheers and applause] we will win. we will win. [crowd chanting "we will win"] we won't rest. [crowd chanting "we won't rest"] >> no when elected elon musk to nothing! >> that's right. >> not one democrat in america voted for elon musk. >> what we not gon' do is stand around when they pull this [bleep]. we are going to be in your face. >> we will see when the courts, in congress, in the streets. elon musk is a nazi nepo baby. >> every movement needs a scrappy little [bleep], and i am that person. i need each and every one of you to get in touch with your inner scrappy little [bleep]. >> nobody elected your [bleep].

this is not elon musk's country. >> take your foot off my neck. >> we are at war! [cheers and applause] >> that was crazy. may be they should get back to authoring the 2024 postmortem. at least for the time being, chuck schumer dropped -- what he used as props in his previous protest. harris, they are apoplectic. here is what we should be angry about. "wall street journal." some usaid spending may undermine u.s. interests, and analysis by the middle east for ramos has $164 million of this money has supported radical organizations around the world. 100 to one of -- $122 million of the aide was going to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations. protest that. >> and no doubt some of it would go to covering that up. apparently it was not on the front sign when you walk in the door at usaid. look, i don't think we are shocked and money was flowing in that direction, or for

ridiculous other things we see. that one being dangerous and ridiculous, but i do find it weird that so many people are rattled by an audit. don't you forensically look at your own checkbook every now and then, and even if it's digital, you just go online. you don't even have to keep notes anymore. anybody who has your password can look at it too. i'm confused by those people who want to wage war on finding out the truth about where american dollars are going are so offended, and threatening -- and it sounds like they are threatening violence. that's how i read it. i don't know how anybody else reads it. maxine waters is bringing that back from "get in their faces goes with. she was in the crowd as well, by the way. all this is more than just offensive. it looks insightful, to me. it looks like a dangerous problem. why? we want to count the money you are in favor spending. maybe, we need an audit of.

can you imagine if we found that stuff? what would they cry, wage war? >> let's talk about that bad stuff. usaid as we talked about does some good stuff. marco rubio, who is acting administrator, wants to preserve the good stuff, like many for -- collect money for my kids in africa. look at this though. the best summation i have seen. senator cotton warning about money to hamas, the syrian nationals charged with diverting millions to our desk fronts. terrorism. the list goes on. the wuhan institute of virology. what the problem with ending this? >> there is no problem of c of course. as harris points out -- we used to call their reaction and law enforcement a clue. of course they are freaking out. this is their slush fund. this is how they have -- ngos to do their bidding. this is all stuff they could not do under official cover. they are cutting out the ngos, and the ngos are doing their

building. here's what i would go with this. we just got pam bondi confirmed. take a public corruption squad, throw it at usaid. go on the offensive. don't go on the defensive because they are ranting and raving. let's find out how cognitively it was done to subvert american policy. because that's criminal. if you are agenting somebody, you own that. so if i'm sitting where pam bondi is -- and more power to her -- pulled weeds apart and see who directed this stuff. i go back to the irs. remember lois lerner? let's go at this thing the way it should be done: criminally. let's see if they keep yelling when we start to see what's under those rocks. >> and ignore the noise. we can't do a segment about noise without bringing in joe scarborough. >> the world's richest -- man goes in and says he's basically going to tear this organization

to the ground. not only will cause immeasurable suffering across the globe: it will put us in a strategic disadvantage. this is a strategic. what he's talking but doing is -- i'm sorry -- it is stupid. >> so it's happening right now, a hostile takeover of the u.s. government. if this were happening in any other country, i promise you, i'd be on the air calling it a coup. >> a coup or a terrorism funding case? >> and the irony, to your point, you are calling a coup, an audit of my dollars, not there dol dollars? every income of this government comes from us, their salary. the notion of the downright shock and horror at the concept of cleaning house and ensuring that your tax dollars are being stored wisely for goals of -- for our republic, but also the betterment of americans? this apoplectic response is so

hilarious to me. it shows you that all they care about is the control and the comforts, the sedation of having a certain amount of money automatically deposited, not having any idea where the origin comes from. the nexus between us funding terrorism is absently horrifying. people like sarah adams, former cia target or, have been sounding the alarm about how deeply we continue to fund these horrific threats which have targeted and killed americans. we know full blown on the prior administration, we fly cash to the tune of $43 million - $80 million to a couple. we also fund this political funding, $10 million a month dropped off to qatar. these are funding the terrorism that comes full-throated back to american soil, and the formerly poor wrists southern border. it threatens americans lives. the concept that the democrats are crying and screaming and waving around -- is so

despicable. i hope this stays to the midterms again. keep it up. we need to understand how deeply people like elon musk and president trump have american interests and safety in mind. speak out we are three weeks into the administration, and the same old games are at play. this just happened. this was at capitol hill. oversight, democrats just moved to subpoena elon musk. the motion failed 19-20. the congressman notably abstaining from the vote to. "i would've voted yes." subpoenaing elon musk seems to be the next step. >> all of a sudden, accountability and transparency became dirty words. it's very strange. in the private sector, we don't do this. we also are always holding accountable corporations and board directors and share shareholders. it's earnings season. these questions are happening to private organizations. where the funders of the u.s. treasury, as emily was saying.

it's our money. you are going to go after the person that wants to check where is it we are being responsible or not with the american -- as we are stewards of the american people's money? i like the simple the cop. -- i like the example at the top, how to run efficiently with the bigger spots ability to have in washington, invest like a business, invest our hard-earned tax dollars. we do it for the private sector. why's it so bad now for the public sector? >> they wanted to defund our protection, the police on the left. maybe we want to defund some areas through usaid that are not good for the country. they don't help our bottom line because they fought terrorism. >> harris, i made these kinds of cases. let me just say that if you hire as -- between the funding mechanism to the leaders of hamas and then in october, everybody is in a grand jury. >> wow. >> it's very simple: preserve the money for the children in africa, excise the money that

are going to terrorist groups. how is that difficult to understand? president trump warns iran about its ongoing plot to assassinate him. maya knows how quality care can bring out a smile. but it's been a few dog years since she was able to enjoy a smile of her own. good thing aspen dental offers affordable, complete care all in one place. and new patients without insurance get 29 dollar exams and xrays. plus 20% off treatment plans for everyone. loving our patients unconditionally. it's one more way aspen dental is in your corner. if you're living with diabetes, i'll tell you the same thing i tell my patients. getting on dexcom g7 is one of the easiest ways to take better control of your diabetes and help protect yourself from the long-term health problems it can cause. this small wearable... replaces fingersticks, lowers a1c, and it's covered by medicare.

"iran's nuclear program has advanced dramatically during biden's time in office, bringing iran to the status of a de facto nuclear threshold states. iran was out there having a big old party for 4 years. the sanctions are off, we do what we want. we and we shall proxies, we unleashed hamas to rain hell on them. then president trump comes to town. they want to kill him. we know that. there was an assassination plot averted during biden's tenure. they don't want president trump here.

he is smart to issue this threat, smart to lay down the law like he did yesterday. the media freaked out. iran is on notice today. -- thanks to the secret service director. >> you bring the threat of a nuclear weapon. president trump addressing that last night and saying this. >> they cannot have a nuclear weapon. it's simple. i am not putting restrictions. one thing, they cannot have a nuclear weapon. if i think they will have a nuclear weapon despite what i just said, i think that will be unfortunate for them. >> this will make iran and a lot of democrats really uncomfortable. notice what he didn't say. biden said don't. he was talking in full sentences about what he will do. >> he was. as ever but he melts down, let's look at history. i recall this. it's stuck in my mind. somebody posed a similar question to president bill clinton years ago and said "what would you do in the event of an attack by iran,

nuclear attack on america? he put it's essentially. "the nation of iran as we know it would cease to exist." they got that message. they are a de facto nuclear power. i don't care how penetrative your intel is. this is one of the things that we have to take and move on from there. let's just remember what's going on. the real divide in the middle east is more than just this. that's really the operative thing on the street. whatever reason, left tilts heavily -- and the iranians are at the head of almost all the -- that cause trouble for mike thomas, lebanon, across the middle east. donald trump is putting them back in the box where they belong. he is limiting their ability to project power across that. they wanted it all the way over to lebanon. he is letting them know, as you say, there is a new sheriff in town.

not going to put up with it. let's see how they react. over all of this is also the fact that netanyahu wants to hit those facilities like tomorrow. >> i would say one cautionary table which has to do with the enemy of the enemy is my friend. don't doubt for a second that they will not unite against us. >> and they do. if you can take them out of the mix, however, we have much better prospects. >> a nexus between this conversation and all prior one. respectfully to the president, it's a travesty that the security detail of secretary of state michael pompeo was deactivated. i think it's a travesty that after they swore additional retribution against all of our officials, including mike pompeo for the assassination of qassem soleimani, recognition in 2020. we talk about where tax dollars go. it's not about extinction expenditures. it's about stewardship. as we warn iran about the mite

that the united states of america is, that includes a protection around our elected officials and are patriots who have saved american lives by tat those terrorist thugs and a terrorist, dictatorial state. to me, mr. president, i hope you reinstate the security detail among others. >> i am concerned about the economic stability this represent for the energy sectors. what finances a lot of their activity, over $140 billion during the past administration is through sales between iran and china. then you add rusher to it. it's beyond the middle east. it is them as commerce partners to fund a lot of this activity. hence the reason for maximum pressure. we are hearing about the tariffs. people are getting concerned. will oil prices go up. maybe but there's a bigger picture to look into. >> a new ad exposes the abuse,

nobody joins that she joined for the mission. they see the sky and say to themselves "this is a mission i want to be part of." feels like we are back. >> and these numbers surged in december. before the confirmations, but certainly after donald trump was elected. that maybe signaled a commander in chief that had a different vision and focus in mind. >> he already talked about how he values the men and women of the military. when some of the missions -- what they would be going for forward. it's similar to what paul said to. when mission directive is clear and you tell people that you value them and you are ready to take them in, and they will have purpose, so on and so forth, the decisions of who he wanted to nominate had already started to. those confirmations hadn't happened, but we sort of knew already there would be a new person at the helm of the va, so on and so forth. i think also this is people

joining and knowing that their values are being respected. they are new trump would go after and try to claw back some of the payment for those soldiers who said "you know up? we aren't going to get the vaccine," and then they were penalized and sidelined. not only soldiers, but all branches. then there was this idea that "we are going to go woke. we are going to do this, readiness -- they are important but they are not the first five things" or whatever. i'm paraphrasing. but that doesn't fit the value system of a soldier who is ready to serve and defend the country with everything he or she has. now they feel like "okay, they see me, and i see something where i belong." >> i have spoken on the couch about the different culture of the families of those serving ants deployed, where under the prior administration, there was a heightened sense of anxiety and fear, and knowing that the incoming commander in chief is president donald trump was a totally different culture and environment to rest in, to know that you would actually be in

good hands. i know anecdotally that many people had retirement papers ready, teed up if kamala harris had won, and she did not come in there for those good men and women are still in our armed forces. >> i'm not surprised that that's what you been hearing. we had a commander in chief that oversaw a smash-and-grab robbery on the world stage. we have put in who went into russia. -- view of one report and went into -- you have china circling taiwan. you have a pianist and i went to the taliban. that didn't happen in a vacuum. and all of that is that when these things were happening, biden was warned in the situation room "there is a meeting that afghanistan was on the brink of collapse --" he went to delaware and then was forced to go to camp david, then took days to come out and address the american public. he said it's one thing if it's a minor incursion in ukraine. this happened because of the weakness of the top. these guys now know they have ha commander in chief they can
