this is at the top of the agenda. again, as you noted, this is no apology tour. abby: how much of this meeting is script wanted and how much is off the cuff? as we know with president trump, is he a self-deprecating man. he loves to have casual conversation. how much of this next hour is going to be very scripted? we have an amazing team here. h.r. mcmaster. national security counsel. principles of the nsc. they give advice. they write speeches. you know the president, he is very heart felt on these issues. he will go off teleprompter. he will make his own comments. we saw that in riyadh yesterday. of course, the real work happens behind closed deers. that s where the real discussions. steve: dr. gorka, we are looking at the president of the united states. is he signing something at a table. can you tell us what that is? i would have to check the itinerary, probably a declaration with regards to israeli u.s. relations and friendship. he has a fully packed schedule going from here t
israeli-palestinian deal. we have heard this over and over again and a lot of people come in and say here is the land breakdown that we are going to do. we will tell you what you are going to have and tell you what you are going to have. what do you think about that? this time walking in and hear both sides. then they will come out and see if they can come up to an agreement proposed to both sides and do this long term. as he calls it deal will get done by listening first. ainsley: absolutely. that s what president trump said a few moments ago. we can only get there by working together. i loved when he talked about the next generation. he said our kids, we wants them to grow up strong and free from terrorism and from evil. i mean, that s when it really hits at the heart and we can all connect this and relate to the evil we face in this world. steve: indeed. and, in fact, moments ago the president said in his welcoming comments this is a rare opportunity to bring peace to this region an
to truly take action? they have been ceaching isis terrorists in saudi arabia. they had an al qaeda attack in saudi arabia back in 2003. they know this is a problem. although in the past saudi arabia was a big funder of hamas. i wrote a whole book about it today they don t give hamas a nickel. abby: changing time in history for sure. as we have been talking about, one of the big things president trump would like to get done is the ultimate deal between the palestinians and the israelis. you know so much about this. are you confident that they can have a reasonable conversations about a deal and ultimately maybe even get one done? well, one thing that a president has shown in his speech in saudi arabia, he learned. he studies. he understands issues by investing time and focus on
