KAYLEIGH MCENANY (CO-HOST): No, it's not a joke, and you are right, it shouldn't be a shock. You know, as I was watching this yesterday, there was this line from Netanyahu that I wish the media would have listened to. He said, looking at President Trump, "You see things that others do not see. You say things that others do not say." And then the jaws drop, and then people sit back and realize, "Oh, maybe he was right." Well the media didn't listen to that. Those gathered in the room, Kaitlan Collins, others, because I watched through the channels last night, and it was absolute pandemonium, I mean the freak out was only second to June 27, the day that Joe Biden had that disastrous debate. And when you look at it I just thought to myself, they haven't learned the lesson yet. And the lesson is this, maybe Trump is not trying to take Gaza. Maybe this is a grand part of a negotiation to get Iran to come to the table, to get Iran to hold back the proxies, to get Iran to stop its nuclear warfare on the world. Maybe that's it. My lesson to the media, this one line I wish they would take — President Trump is playing four-dimensional chess, you all are playing checkers.
HARRIS FAULKNER (CO-HOST): If they even have a game board.
MCENANY: If they even have a game board. Yes, good point.
