Fox host on Trump's proposal to “take over” Gaza: “Why wouldn't they say thanks for doing this?”
Ainsley Earhardt: “If you have the opportunity for economic development, and supplied unlimited number of jobs and housing, and a good, fresh, beautiful piece of land like he calls it, why wouldn't you consider it?"

AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): If America looked like Gaza, I would consider leaving if, you know, if I had to live in those conditions.
LAWRENCE JONES (CO-HOST): No choice.
EARHARDT: Every time we show video of it I'm like, I cannot believe people live like this because we are so blessed and fortunate here in America.
STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): It's like California, it's like the wildfires. But eventually people want to go back, and that's the problem.
EARHARDT: And that's a little different because it's so gorgeous in California. You do have to risk the wildfire, especially if you are not going to get insurance for it. But if you look at the video of Gaza that is no place I would ever want to go or visit. And he says he is not specifying where this new land for Gazans might be. Why not? You don't have to leave, I guess, if you don't want to. But, if you have the opportunity for economic development, and supplied unlimited number of jobs and housing, and a good, fresh, beautiful piece of land like he calls it, why wouldn't you consider it? Why wouldn't they say thanks for doing this? Netanyahu said one thing that I thought was interesting. He said, you say things others refuse to say -- talking about Donald Trump -- and after the jaws drop, people scratch their heads and they say, you know, he's right.
