SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I brought it up on this radio show yesterday, and the amount of protection that is provided to Qatar and Saudi Arabia and UAE is incalculable, because not only do we sell them -- and you'd say, "Well, we're just selling them military equipment." It's not that we're selling them the military equipment. And I watched, you know, I think they're F-15s, 18s, whatever they were on the side of each wing flying into each country -- it's that we are giving them that technology, and they wouldn't have anywhere near the security. You can't put a price on that.
The last thing. Largest military base is right here in Qatar for the U.S. in terms of the Middle East. The Qataris have spent $8 billion in terms of investing money to build out that base. Nobody ever questioned that money. There is a defense alliance agreement between our two countries that far -- the benefit far -- is far in favor of the Qataris than it is America.
And so it's -- trust me. It's a small price to pay relatively speaking for what we're offering them.
