Let me finish this. I don't have anything against the Qataris other than that they welcome and host the senior leadership of Hamas. They live like billionaires. They live in lavish luxury. They [Qatar] support Hamas, they encourage Hamas, they fund Israel haters, America haters, Communists, people tearing America down. They propagandize our kids. I'm perfectly happy to welcome the Qataris into the society of civilized nation if they will stop funding people trying to destroy America. (06:43–15:55)
