[applause] in this land so rich in history, israel has built one of the worlds great civilizations, a strong, resilient, determined and prosperous nation. It is also a nation in the commitment that we will never allow the horrors and atrocities of the last century is to be repeated. Now we must Work Together to build a future where the nations of the regions are in peace and all of our children can grow and grow up strong and free from terrorism in violence. During my travels in recent days, i have found new reasons for hope. I have just concluded a visit to saudi arabia yesterday met with king salman and with the leaders from across the muslim and arab world. In that visit, we reached agreements to pursue greater and greater cooperation in the fight against terrorism and evil ideology. They future travels will take me to visit out francis at the vatican and then our nato and european allies. We have before us a rare opportunity to bring security and stability in peace to this region and to its people come in defeating and creating a future of harmony prosperity and peace. We can only get there working together. There is no other way. Mr. President , mr. Chair, i look forward to working closely with both of you during my stay. We love israel. We respect israel and i said to her people and the warmest greetings from your friend and ally. All of the peep on the United States of america. We are with you. Thank you and a lefty. Thank you. [applause] airiness, the the president arriving in israel. Reagan is right now, the president began upon his arrival in israel. He will hold meetings with israels president and chair. Welcome to mornings with maria. Day two of president Trumps International trip just coming from saudi arabia, now arriving at israel. Another two days to spend time meeting with the leadership there. We are with lee carter, dagen mcdowell, glad youre with us. Great to see you. I think this visit is the place where donald trump is really, really comfortable. Israel is a close ally. Hes getting a very warm welcome. He made it clear when he arrived here at his full support of the American People is behind israel right now. Hes resetting and thats a very important moment for us. Yesterday in saudi arabia he gave a strong solid beat and i think hes having a good visit the wire. Is coming off of a successful trip. The speech yesterday getting high remarks from across the world. Her take. Dagen im sure lee was in press at the messaging yesterday, but its a reset for the term presidency in terms of leaving all the past rhetoric behind and the trouble is that hes faced domestically at home. But also resetting with our most important middle eastern allies. It is very different but President Trump is doing compared to president obama. President obama focused almost solely on iran and the nuclear deal and moved away from our sunni allies in the region and moved away from israel. This is a very different take and kind of begins the return of the united state is more traditional allies. He got such a warm welcome across saudi arabia because we are coming off of what he just did in terms of leading the strikes against syria and pushing back on the iran deal. Yeah, also the president is asking israel to support him in this effort. But also arab allies reduce asking them in saudi arabia where he made clear this is a fight for all of us against terrorism we need to unite and the effect it together. Thats a different approach than obamas approach which is more a is like charade and challenging the supposed to one that united together and Work Together. The second will be marked by dave. Maria president upon the strips around the world when he first started as president are still being called an apology to her. I think they have different titles. We were coming off of the iraqi word, the sentiment in that country at the time was antiwar. He was going around the nation trying to rebuild their relationships internationally. Everybody has their role in time. President are about the time in their country. You mentioned donald trump resetting his presidency. The dynamic of being president is there every day, every hour. Once you get into the swing of things, generally they move on, focus on their agenda and have men and women put them out. Maria seb is able to live the fighters behind in the situation. This has to go well in terms of the pushback on his domestic agenda. Is no question this has to go extremely, extremely well. I would say this almost has to be flawless. When he was leaving we were completely off focus. No focus on health care, completely focused on russia and all of those issues surrounding comey. This can reshape where we are focused and when he returns we need to see pushing back hard on health care and tax reform in enough stored if you want to have this. I dont think thats going to and by the way. The bad week will continue for some time and i would think his domestic agenda is at a halt right now were certainly i dont see tax reform getting done this year. Maria we will talk with kevin brady on this week if well find out what the process is in terms of health care. The house has to get the cbo scoring before officially handed over the house go to the senate this week. We will see you. Dagen push republicans to do something. Its very easy for them to stab back and make the problem about President Trump solely. I highly disagree with that. These republicans have been a lack it to their own offices. They care about the American People. They will quickly move ahead with the agenda and stop being distracted. Im going out on a limb here. They are used in President Trumps problem as cover for not doing anything because they are afraid of reform in obamacare. There are a lot of tough issues to tackle in reforming the tax code and they dont have the guts and gumption to do it. They are using this as cover and is quite shameful. You laugh. Its true. But the premise there is space upon politics and politicians being courageous in the first phase. Thats what im laughing about. At the end of the day, these this is the next is not to take such issues. Winners and losers on obamacare. Its courageous to President Trump to go into this international tour. Given what he says to the rhetoric he used on the campaign trail to give, to borrow a word from the wall street journal editorial page today, such a conciliatory tone in that speech that he gave yesterday in saudi arabia. Hes really building bridges. Maria this is one of the important lines. Drive them out at your holy land. Drive them out of your country at the terrorists tried to have power is host to get on board with the fight against terrorism. The right and left complemented that speech. I thought it was outstanding. It was a very good speech. Its time, the way he delivered it is different than the way we sing hymns beat lately. A different tone than any rally weve seen them in a press conference briefing. It was very somber, very serious and he had a strong message consistent with who he is and wants the presidency is all about. Overall it was authentic, genuine and a great day for donald trump. A lot of people were taken by surprise because people were nervous about how he would be hated when he was what he said on the campaign trail. Dagen israel has been careful with the stories about the President Trump allegedly told serbia by broad, the Russian Foreign minister when they were in the oval office. Maria he caught in a net job. Dagen back, but what is a sad after that, they were very, very careful to stand by President Trump. That kind of dovetails what we see today is the president and in tel aviv. Maria meanwhile, his group changes a bit for the rest of the trip. President trump chief of staff Reince Priebus will not join the president. Hes headed back to washington to oversee the Trump Administration budget rollout happening tomorrow. Sad to include a wave of cuts to benefits programs like medicaid of his fans while boosting funding for security and 31. 69 for border wall construction. Lets talk about these numbers. You say maybe they are using the strip, congress is before getting things done. The budget rollout is happening this week at the Health Care Bill is getting a scale and we are hoping that we get further into discussion about the agenda. What are you hearing in terms of the budget . I am optimistic. I think the fact that we have ryan talking about moving things forward, tax reform last week, there is happening beyond the scandal that we are seeing an art being covered. The fact will see more numbers is a real move in the right direction. Maria what will be to take away from medicaid being cut the way it is in terms of these numbers and in terms of cuts. Is that the issue democrats will focus on . Dagen at will, but the 800 billion is the amount cut from medicaid and the house Gop Health Care reform bill, the obamacare repeal. That matches what the republicans, what the bill tries to do in terms of medicaid cuts. There are cuts made to the food stamp program. The Childrens HealthInsurance Program and also disability insurance. There is a lot of ad had the democrats related to this budget bill about trying to hurt the poor and children. Again, is there room for work requirements in getting food stamps and welfare . Yes. More work requirements rather. We are denote the arguments coming from the left side. Police say they do not clearly. I dont think well see anything different. My hope is that its time is that his time at the two numbers republicans have gotten their strategy down so we all know why this is they are, why its important and what it will do for the American People and our future. We can focus to the president and his spirit is not a politician. Hes accustomed to getting things done. He has a singular agenda. They will continue as more things come out on these issues in terms of the campaign and the former fbi tour. Republicans will get a little bit while fully. The democratic narrative is going to be defined by this budget. That will be the beginning of the cycle into the midterms. They will be giving rich people and major corporations tax breaks on the backs of the poor. Thats the narrative. Not saying that is the case. That is that the narrative is going to be. That is a left side narratives for the democrats and kind of a right size great site for republicans. Maria is that really going to resonate . Everyone is president has talked about cutting taxes for all americans, particularly the lower end. Its just not true. The narrative is going to work. That is a narratives that they are given. Democrats are given the narrative. Maria does anybody really believe that . Heard the plane in terms of taxes. 10 to 35 . The left were painted a false tax rates for the rich. The nobodies. Will people believe that given the fact numbers are the numbers . You dont like him, which is about half the country. It is going to be about how this plays and how strong the leadership he comes. They stand up and tell americans the true story about what these tax policies are going to do, how they will benefit them. Dagen and ill say this to the president s budget. If you look at food stamps, for example, the use of his pants at record levels after the 2008 financial collapse. A lot of the states and at the urging of the white house is in a wilson requirement for getting food stamp and welfare programs. As the economy improved in rebound, they didnt do anything to dial back the number of people on this welfare programs. So to go in and try and cut them at this point is not unreasonable depending which prints are talking about. The president praises it as the people on food stamps because he will create a more robust economy. More people working, more jobs to create more Economic Committee which will reduce the needs of people. The goal of this country is for zero people to be on food stamps.
