fifth if you don t have anything to hide? because he has a good lawyer. and if he s not given immunity, as oliver north was, in the iran-contra scandal, you won t appear before that panel and say anything that might incriminate you. that is his right without casting judgment. but i think what you re pointing to, leland, the fact that this domestic story will not go away. and it continues to dominate much of the news. even as the president stands in riyadh and in jerusalem. i think is likely to dog us for the rest of this trip. no matter how much the president wants to change the subject. leland: judy, you got the first word and the last word which john, i think, you have to live with. appreciate it, buddy. good to see you both. thank you. jenna: president trump meeting with the israeli prime minister after what think was a very successful trip to saudi arabia. how can the president build on some of his accomplishments?
mcmasters on special report live from riyadh, more saudi reaction. you re right, jenna, the connective tissue between this trip and saudi arabia, the meeting with the 50-plus muslim-arab nations, then to israel, is iran. that is the thing that brings it all together. the concern about the threat from iran in the region, the geopolitical shift that is the trumped a mshgs from the obama administration, welcome here in sauldie arabia and throughout the arab world and welcomed in israel when you hear the israeli president saying america is back again, that is quite a message on a trip from two very different parts of this same region. jenna: brett, thank you. all this makes for a can t-miss special report, brett baer live from saudi arabia at 6:00 p.m. eastern, he will have much more reporting on the ground from saudi arabia including as you
mention the full interview with the national security advisor for the president. really interesting for brett to be there and we will be watching on special report tonight. we want to dig diep deeper into the issue much israel and iran as we await the president, again, to speak with the prime minister of israel. ambassador danny denan is ambassador to the u.n. great to have you on the program. i m curious about your observations thus far on the trip, you ve seen a few hours that our president has sment on the ground there and what you see as the goal of this trip. good morning. thank you for having me. this is a great, historic visit of the president to israel. and we appreciate that. on his first visit abroad he s visiting our country. we speak about the bond between the americans and the israeli s, shared values. when the president is coming to israel, he s visiting the holy sites in the old city of
riyadh, about that. take a listen. senior official, a backgrounder, said that he s just, quote, exhausted guy. i mc s an event where the president was supposed to address the crowd at the end, he had tweeted that, at the last minute sent ivanka instead. the president okay? i ve never seen a president exhausted, actually. some of us get exhausted trying to keep pace with him. you look at the pace of the trip it s unbelievable. jenna: we want to bring to you president trump, speaking with the prime minister of israel. as we prepare friendship with israel, i think a lot of that, whatever it takes, a lot spurred on by what is happening with iran. i think the fact that you have taken very strong position on iran, different position, not only on security but it helps propel the possibility of reconciliation in israel.
extremists, something george w. bush or bro m said. that helped him, when president trump or candidate trump acted presidential, it helped him get past these controversy or scandals. think back to the campaign when he had one of his worst scandals, worst controversy was his fight with the family of a fallen muslim soldiers. went down to mexico, had a fairly normal interaction with the, you know, mexican leaders. and he basically rebounded. can that work out here, can he restore confidence at home with a good trip, not entirely, i think he can somewhat. these investigations aren t going to go away. leland: you brought up the investigation of investigations that was dogging him last week. and it seems to be following him this week. fox news confirming former white house national security advisor michael flynn declining a senate intelligence committee subpena, invoking the fifth amendment. judy, in the words of many, even folks supporters of donald trump, why do youing take the
