He won the presidency of the United States in late 2008. And by 2009, he was being handed the Nobel Peace Prize for literally being a breathing human being. That was his only claim to fame. |
| 0:38.0 | That was the only reason he was given the Nobel Peace Prize. |
| 0:40.4 | Even when he accepted it, he was like, I'm not sure why I'm here. What did I do again? Well, I mean, I am great. I am kind of a messianic figure. But aside from what, I have no idea what I'm doing here. It was very, very weird. Well, what would you say if there was a president who brokered a peace deal |
| 0:54.5 | between Israel and one of its heretofore Arab nation enemies? And that peace deal provided the |
| 1:01.7 | basis for many other Arab nations to start making peace deals for normalization of relations |
| 1:06.2 | with Israel. Wouldn't that be considered like a big win, like a Nobel Prize winning sort of thing? |
| 1:11.8 | I mean, Jimmy Carter won a Nobel Prize based on brokering a peace deal between Egypt and Israel. |
| 1:17.2 | Bill Clinton was nominated for a Nobel Prize, who was Yitzhak Rabid and Arafat, who won the Nobel Prize, |

| 1:27.5 | tries to make some sort of deal in the Middle East. But only Trump has been able to make a |
| 1:31.1 | successful deal in the Middle East for the first time since like 1994 when Jordan normalized |
| 1:35.0 | relations with Israel. So it has been full on almost three decades since there was a solid peace |
| 1:40.3 | deal in the Middle East and President Trump got it done. He got it done because all of the interests align. Now, to be completely fair, the reason the interests align is because of President Obama, but because President Obama was a garbage president who's terrible in the Middle East, because Obama decided that he was going to forward the aspirations of the Iranian Mullahs, try to make them a regional power, he was going to legitimize their nuclear program over time. He was going |
| 2:01.1 | to try to open up their economy. He was going to look the other way on their terrorism and their |
| 2:04.7 | attempts to spread their power via regime changes all over the Middle East. Because he did that, |
| 2:10.4 | a coalition of forces formed against the Iranian rising power, and that included Saudi Arabia, |
