In the middle east, and President Trump says this is just the beginning. Now that the ice has been broken, i expect more arab and muslim countries will follow the United Arab Emirates lead are, and we are already discussing this with other nations. Theyre very powerful, very good nations and people that want to see peace in the middle east. So you probably see others of these, but this is the first one in more than 25 years. A lot of progress being made that nobody thought could possibly be made. And things are happening that i cant talk about, but theyre extremely positive. Lou and under the terms of the agreement, israel halts its plans to annex occupied land as it is referred to sought by palestinians in the west bank. That effectively avoids a new round of conflict between the two sides. It also places the United Arab Emirates as a key u. S. Ally in the region and a new friend of us israel. Just across the persian gulf from iran. President trumps top envoy to iran, brian hook, today said this extraordinary new agreement not only cements the relationship between israel and the United Arab Emirates, but it is also another major blow against the iranian regime. Peace between the arabs expect israelis is irans and the israelis is irans Worst Nightmare x. No one has done more to intensify the conflict than iran. And what we see today is the new middle east, and the president s maximum Pressure Campaign has achieved historic results. Lou President Trumps secretary of state mike pompeo today also announcing a major Foreign Policy decision. The secretary of state ordering chinese Confucius Institutes to register their u. S. Headquarters as a Foreign Mission of the Chinese Communist party. There are 75 Confucius Institutes in the United States. They claim to teach chinese language and culture, but the state department says, actually, they are, quote an entity advancing beijings global propaganda and Malign Influence Campaign on u. S. Campuses and k12 classrooms. Some american universities, in fact, have failed to report the millions of dollars that they have received through the confucius program, and at least 32 chinese Nationals Associated with the institutes have committed visa fraud. Perhaps more remarkable, the state department told congress that out has no idea that it has no idea how many chinese nationals are associated with the Confucius Institute program, how many of them are in this country because at no point did the u. S. Government ask. Our first guest today suggested that President Trump should be considered ament frontrunner know considered a frontrunner for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in normalizing relations between israel expect United Arab Emirates. Joining us is robert obrien. Congratulations to you, the administration, the president in achieving this historic agreement. Give us your sense of its importance. Thank you, lou. Nice to be with you tonight. This is really a remarkable accomplishment by the president of the United States, also by the crown prince expect Prime Minister. To come together and bring peace to the region, its the first time in 26 years that israel has made peace with an arab nation, and we now have the crown prince entering a pantheon of great leaders like king hussein of jordan and anwar sadat of egypt who have had the courage and fortitude to make peace with israel. This is good for the region, good for the countries involved, its good for the United States of america, to its really a remarkable achievement today, and i congratulate all the leaders who were involved in this historic abrahamic accord. Lou its clear that this has the potential to significantly alter the dynamics of the region but also change the geopolitics beyond that, reaction to which russia and china alike will have to respond in the region. Out looks like it has the potential to result in real peace. I know its certainly early days in this agreement, but it is a marked change of direction in what the region has experienced over the last quarter century. No, youre absolutely right, lou. And these are two dynamic countries, maybe the two most dynamic countries in the region. Theyre hightech centers, theyre tourism centers, theyre centers of education, and they have very capable militaries. So from a security standpoint, its a real bonus for both countries. Its great for both israel and the uae but also terrific for the United States of america. President trump is just happy to be involved in bringing peace to the region. I said earlier today in the press conference that everyone knows that President Trump is a great dealmaker and wrote a book about it, spent a life making great deals. What i think is going to happen over time and history, hes going to be revealed someones going to look back and say hes a great peacemaker. This is just another example of the success on that front. Lou it certainly is, and the imperatives of his agenda from the day he became president of the United States is to bring u. S. Troops home and to remove the United States from conflicts in which it did not have an overwhelmingly profound National Security interest, and that is also moving apace, is it not . Well, it is. President trump is is very much like president reagan in that sense. He believes in peace through strength, so weve had a historic rebilling of the American Military rebuilding of the American Military which had gone through years of sequestration and lack ared readiness, and we hadnt supported our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in the prior ad manager. Hes rebuilt the military. He approaches diplomacy from a position of strength. Like reagan, he hasnt gotten us involved in new wars. Hes winding down wars. You take, for example, afghanistan. Secretary esper Just Announced last week were going to be down to 5,000 troops by this fall, thats hess than half to the number of troops that were there when the president took office. We havent had an american combat casualty since february 29th in afghanistan. And so youre seeing the president make good on his Campaign Promises of bringing our troops home, our real heroes, do it in a way that brings peace to the various regions, and i couldnt be more proud to serve under him. Lou well, the nation is watching a president who is getting done what he has promised to do, and he is, he has pointed out only just begun. Robert, its great to have you with us. Again, congratlates, and i think you congratulations, and i think you had a splendid idea about the Nobel Peace Prize. We thank you for being with us. Appreciate it.

E. , nor can our bend police force. And the local District Attorney tweeted this, quote ive never been so disgusted by i my government and so proud of my community. Oregon has a statewide crisis. Senator ron johnson announces there are no r are inos rinos on the senate how many Homeland Security committee holding up subpoenas. Johnson attributed his initial suggestion of rino resistance yesterday to a, quote, misunderstanding between him and radio host hugh hewitt. Johnsons office telling us, quote Committee Members want chairman johnson to attempt to get voluntary compliance and also to be fully prepared for interviews by obtaining necessary documents before compelling testimony; that is, ordering subpoenas. In an interview with fox news, johnson went on to further explain he said subpoenas will be forthcoming, that i can guarantee you. Joining us now to help us try to make sense of all of this is congressman doug collins, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee and republican candidate for senate in the grand state of georgia. Congressman, good to have you with us. We need a little translation, a little capitol hill interpretation from you. Johnson says theres rino she resistance on resistance on a wednesday, tells us theres none on a thursday, and meanwhile, there are suspects, clear suspects of doing just what he says didnt happen; that is, blocking his effort to get subpoenas on obamagate and amongst them, of course, mitt romney, senator lankford. It looks, it looks very, very bad for the committee. Well, it does look bad. Even worse, lou, it looks bad for the u. S. I mean, we need to get to the bottom of this. Ive been on here with you a lot, ive been working with my colleagues i mean, they have had a long time to actually get this done. We both know comey, mccabe, strzok, page, brennan, clapper, you need to get them in. Get them all in a deposition, get them under oath so that you can ask the questions that need to be asked. The American People want to know, the congress has been is asking, weve been asking. Weve been revealing this for a while, the new transcripts that Lindsey Graham put out, the transcripts that i put out last year all show there was wrongdoing. Its time to get to the bottom of it. Lets get them under oath and get this moving because were running out of time to actually let the American People show vividly what they did to this president who, by the way, had another great day today. Could you imagine what would have happened if theyd is are stopped President Trump . We would not have had the success, and right now the world would be in a worse place, i believe. No more feet dragging on this. Finish. Lou yeah. Well, to your, a number of your points, one of which is this president and all that hes achieved, all that he has accomplished, and amongst those achievements is the state of this economy before the wuhan virus hit. What shape would this country be in he had not driven the strongest period of prosperity in our countrys history before the china virus was up leashed upon us in unleashed upon us. You can look at this a number of ways. No president has done more than he has in the first three and a half years of presidency. Its remarkable. But its also remarkable that the Republican Party as creatures has creatures like mitt romney who tried to block the subpoenas around burisma, now are trying to block subpoenas, we know that mitt romney is amongst those trying to block ron johnsons obamagate investigation, and no one raising mitch mcconnell, the majority leader, the Party Leaders should be demanding more, much more from senator romney. Weve got top people willing to stand up. For those of us who stood up for this president , who stood up the last 8 months and 18 months and all these folks who wanted to take down this president , who trued to show there was corruption around every turn. My question is lets be honest with the American People. If theres a republican or anybody who wants to stand in the way of in this investigation, let them go to a camera and say why they dont want to know about the corruption of hunter biden and joe biden. Why dont they want to know about the corruption we saw with comey, strzok, mccabe and page, why would we not want to know more about what happens to general flynn when he was unmasked, joe biden himself as Vice President. Its time we hoe the world that were serious about this because people need to be held accountable for what they did. If they dont, theyll think they can get away with it x thats not right. Lou well, its to see senator portman, senator lankford and romney trying to block this by all appearances, we also have this, we also have this statement from congress from senator romney. If we could put this up. About his idea of blocking burisma investigations to begin with and subpoenas. He said theres no question but the appearance of looking into burisma and hunter biden appears political, and i think, i think people are tired of these, these kind of political investigations, and i would hope that if theres something of significance that needs to be evaluated, that itll be done by perhaps the fbi or some other agency thats oh, my gosh, it just goes on. I mean, its pitiful. It is absolutely pitiful, and he knows what hes doing. And he also has friends and associates, at least one, who was on the board of burisma, so he looks like hes conflicted and should have recused himself from any comment on it. No question. This appears political, but its wrong and things were done wrong and powerful laws were broken and things were circumvented whether it be burisma or the investigation with the president , its our duty to look into it. Its not about i mean, should we not look into jim comey and mccabe and the rest of them because it was political that they wanted to take out the president . No, it was wrong. They were they went and told them thaw knew they werent accurate. We also saw this past week where now we know Christopher Wray has not been honest with the senate. My question to anybody is if its political and wrong, youve got to go after right or wrong. Our country especially understands right and wrong, thaw understand whats going on. But you cant be afraid of being appearance when youre going for the truth. My question is why arent we going for the truth. Lou yeah. And if senate romneys senator romneys so concerned with the appearance of being political, he should perhaps examine everything hes said and done concerning President Trump and his reactions to this president throughout. It has been aced isic, petty and purely political on his part. And did he notice that there was a sham special counsel, an absolute contrived coup attempt on the president of the United States seeking to overthrow him by the radical dems and some rino, we might add . Congressman doug collins, always
