. >> two things, one why he president obama let netanyahu in white house through backdoor we know there is a strong relationship, between the prime minister of israel as well as president trump in addition to this i think it is very clear that this trip also signifies that president trump is going to send a very strong message to iran, saying we are going to stand with saudi arabia work on economic and national security with them, and to -- those out there be aware i think that is a very important difference that is being made here because of the visit specifically going to saudi arabia also going to israel in assuring that this conversation of putting iran in its place is important plus the discussion about working with our moderate islamic brothers and sisters to ensure we get a grip on rally terrorism is almost a of its in that region. >> your thoughts on this trip any just want to say bravo we are having a counterterrorism tour versus apology tour don't expect to see any bowing happening from our president this time, i am happy about that. >> we all are. >> i will say mercy is right

. >> i want to juxtapose this, president obama wouldn't let prime minister netanyahu speak to congress. our pro-israel americans in this country have been so deeply offended by president obama's relationship and seeming anger toward the prime minister of israel. now, you ta pose it with president trump whose son-in-law is a close friend of prime minister netanyahu. to say this is polar opposites is light. he's there with jared kushner and ivanka trump, two jewish-americans as well. it's interesting to see their role in this. as we said before, many times, i'm fascinated to know what jared kushner will do. president trump has said this might be something that he could end up registering peace in the middle east, a high, lofty goal. every administration has tried, every modern administration, has tried to gain peace in the middle east. if it goes well, and gaffi-free being the number one thing, kennedy, it will be a huge success and optically and narratively reset in the way this administration needs. >> one of the difficulties is just so apparent as he lands there, already there's fight

netanyahu. >> let's bring in former u.s. ambassador to israel daniel shapiro. he served under president obama.h us. don't know how much of the speech that you caught. >> good to be with you. >> how do you think trump is doing so far on this trip? >> i think he's doing just fine. he's demonstrating a strong friendship, and commitment to israel's security. that's always important for any administration, any president by coming here so early in his term on his first trip. it's quite meaningful, and in his meeting with the palestinians, it's to try to move toward restarting peace talks between israelis and palestinians. that's going to be a tall order because we know how much distrust there is between both sides. we know there have been waves of violence, expansion of israeli settlements on the west bank. so palestinians and israelis are not necessarily ready to talk to each other but neither of them are going to want to say no to this new president who has a bit of an unpredictable streak and that may work to his advantage. >> so you actually think this could be a positive that he is unpredictabl

let's contrast what's going on here. president obama made a choice. for some reason he had inherent dislike and maybe it was mutual with prime minister netanyahu. so for eight years they basically had a minute any a mid war. and now you have somebody who were friends before they became leaders. now they have become leaders and there is more of an outreach of handshakes. this is a we missed you. we need you moment. >> yes. and, brian, what's coming through for me is just the extraordinarily unique persona of president donald trump. this person that nobody believed could be president. even his own political party. and, yet, we see the way he can engauge with saudis. clearly the deep relationship he has with leaders of israel. his very informal and almost evuncular manner. he is embodying the goodness of the american people who are here. we are not a complicated people in the united states. he elm bodies a lot of our values. it's very refreshing. abby: that is a great point. brian: i find myself very complicated how dare you generalize. abby: once marine one takes off they've will be in the airport about 15 minutes. you talk about the muslim world
