I think we need absolute clarity when it comes to Qatar. And Qatar has repeatedly got in bed with enemies of America and has supported enemies of America and supported enemies of Israel. I've introduced legislation that would sanction [Qatar] back to the stone Age. So my view on this is not complicated. By the way, to be clear, the Qatari government has also paid for spies to personally surveil me so they understand exactly where I stand on this issue. (12:02–12:07)
