Speech that president george w. bush made in jerusalem in january of 2008, in which he set forth persuasively the rationale for what has been american policy through a republican and democratic presidents in favor of a two-state solution tonight grounds thats whats best for both israelis and palestinians. and he argued to the leaders of both sides that they should be vested in the others interest, because thats the only way they could get what they want. i think, frankly, that there is no viable...

And people are within their rights to look back and go wait a second. you guys werent making a big deal about it when obama came around. i regret its not a big deal now. >> im not running around with my hair on fire. ill tell you that. >> it is flammable. >> the president breaking decades of u.s. foreign policy backing off the two-state solution. does that mean its dead? what does that mean? we discuss it next. so they can keep watch over operations below the sea, even from thousands of feet abo...

What you have with israel is our commitment to the jewish democratic state, and if its going to live in peace with secure borders, and has palestinians that have their own aspirations for theirr own stat. a two state solutions promise is that there will be security for israel. if you have a one state solution, what will happen is it throws into question the jewish and democratic tradition of that great state of israel. >> ed: the premise you just said about security for israel does not exist rig...

Where the palestinians agree or dont agree to self-determination and have their own state. i think, look, i think as he gets a little bit deeper into the weeds, hell realize why for decades its been everyones policy, including nominally at least, bebe netanyahu policy, is a two-state solution. you have to have a viable palestinian state. by the way, a lot of israelis, hawkish israelis came to a two-state solution because they believe the democratic character and the jewish character of israel wo...

So im looking at two-state and one-state and i like the one that both parties like. im very happy with the one that both parties like. i can live with either one. i thought for a while the two-state looked like it may be the easier of the two, but honestly, if bibi and if the palestinians, if israel and the palestinians are happy, im happy with the one they like the best. >> welcome back to "hardball." that was president trump and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu today where the preside...

And so there is a possibility. they do have a common interest. it makes sense to get them going, i applaud that. as far as jared kushner goes, i dont know him. weve had 12 presidents, 20 secretaries of state that havent been able to get a two-state deal. maybe someone from the outside can do it. i wish him very well. i do think, however, sooner or later, well end up back with a two-state solution. just ahead, america uncovered. gary tuchman hears what trump supporters are saying about the whit...
