>> President Trump: I'VE BEEN
WATCHING HER AND I HAVE BEEN
WATCHING HER FOR A LONG PERIOD
OF TIME.
SHE IS NOT THE SAME PERSON.
SHE HAS LOST IT.
>> THIS TIME ANOTHER TEMPER
TANTRUM AGAIN.
I PRAY FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
I WISH THAT HIS FAMILY OR HIS
ADMINISTRATION OR HIS STAFF
WOULD HAVE AN INTERVENTION FOR
THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.
>> Bill: WE HAD A BACK AND
FORTH ALL DAY YESTERDAY.
PRESIDENT TRUMP, HOUSE SPEAKER
NANCY PELOSI ESCALATING THEIR
PERSONAL FEUD AS THE DRAMA
PLAYS OUT CONGRESS IS TRYING TO
GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.
WHAT ABOUT THAT BUSINESS?
OUR HEADLINER IS PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE AND DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESSWOMAN TULSI GABBARD OUT
OF HAWAII.
WELCOME BACK TO "AMERICA'S
NEWSROOM."
SO PETER KING SAID THEY'VE HAD
A SHORT-TERM BREAKUP.
HOW DO YOU CHARACTERIZE IT?
>> LOOK, I THINK IT IS THE
HYPER PARTISANSHIP AND
DIVISIVENESS THAT PEOPLE ARE
SICK AND TIRED OF THAT THEY SEE
IN WASHINGTON GETTING IN THE
WAY OF ACTUALLY DOING THE
PEOPLE'S BUSINESS, SERVING THE
PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY.
THERE IS SO MUCH THAT NEEDS TO
BE DONE.
WE'VE HEARD TALKS ABOUT
ACTUALLY FINALLY PASSING AN
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL, SOMETHING
THAT COMMUNITIES LIKE MINE IN
HAWAII AND ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY ARE IN DIRE NEED OF.
WE HAVE TO PUT THE WELL-BEING
OF THE PEOPLE FIRST IN THIS
COUNTRY AND DO WHAT IT TAKES TO
DELIVER RESULTS FOR THEM.
>> Bill: HOW MUCH OF THIS DO
YOU THINK IS POSTURING RIGHT
NOW AND HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK
IT IS PERSONAL?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
FRANKLY IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WHAT MATTERS IS THAT WE IN THIS
COUNTRY AS LEADERS HAVE A
MANDATE TO FULFILL THE VISION
THAT OUR FOUNDERS LAID OUT FOR
US.
TO HAVE A GOVERNMENT THAT IS OF
THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND
FOR THE PEOPLE.
NOT FOR THE DEMOCRATS, NOT FOR
THE REPUBLICANS.
NOT FOR THE RICH AND POWERFUL,
FOR THE PEOPLE.
AND SO WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO
COME TOGETHER WHETHER THE
DIFFERENCES ARE PERSONAL OR
WHATEVER IT IS, SET ASIDE THOSE
DIFFERENCES AND ACTUALLY PUT
THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY
FIRST.
>> Sandra: CONGRESSWOMAN, THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE WHAT THEY SAW
THIS WEEK IS NOTHING GETTING
DONE IN WASHINGTON
THERE WAS THIS PLANNED MEETING
AT THE WHITE HOUSE THAT WAS
SUPPOSED TO GET SOMETHING DONE
ON INFRASTRUCTURE.
THAT WAS THE PLAN.
NANCY PELOSI TOOK TO THE
MICROPHONE EARLY THAT MORNING
ACCUSED THE PRESIDENT OF A
CRIME, THE PRESIDENT RESPONDED
IN THE ROSE GARDEN SHORTLY
AFTER.
I MEAN, FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE, THEY SAW NOTHING
GETTING DONE ON THOSE IMPORTANT
ISSUES YOU JUST MENTIONED.
>> AND IT'S VERY DISTURBING.
I CAN SPEAK AS A SOLDER.
I'VE SERVED IN THE ARMY
NATIONAL GUARD FOR OVER 16
YEARS AND DEPLOYED TWICE TO THE
MIDDLE EAST AND SOMETHING I'VE
APPRECIATED SO MUCH THROUGHOUT
MY TIME IN SERVICE WITH MY
FELLOW SERVICE MEMBERS, PEOPLE
WHO COME FROM ACROSS THE
COUNTRY, DIFFERENT IDEOLOGICAL
SPECTRUM, DIFFERENT POLITICS,
DIFFERENT RACE, ETHNICITY,
RELIGION, ORIENTATION BUT WE
ALL SERVE ONE MISSION, SERVING
THE INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
THAT KIND OF FOCUS ON SERVICE,
PUTTING SERVICE ABOVE SELF IS
WHAT OUR COUNTRY'S LEADERS NEED.
>> Bill: THE BIG NEWS TODAY IS
THE PRESIDENT ORDERED ALL THE
INTEL CHIEFS TO COOPERATE WITH
BILL BARR A.G. AND WE'LL SEE
SOME OF THESE DOCUMENTS, SOONER
RATHER THAN LATER.
HOW CURIOUS ARE YOU TO KNOW
ABOUT THE FISA COURT AND CARTER
PAGE AND THE SURVEILLANCE OF
GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS AND THE
JAMES COMEY MEETING AT THE
TRUMP TOWER IN JANUARY OF 2017?
>> I THINK THE TRUTH IS MOST
IMPORTANT TO COME THROUGH.
I THINK WE'VE SEEN BOTH IN SOME
OF THE EXAMPLES THAT YOU'VE
RAISED BUT ALSO PREVIOUS
EXAMPLES OF HOW THE FISA COURT
AND THIS SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING
IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE
PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY.
WE HAVE A ONE-SIDED SYSTEM
REALLY THAT DOES NOT REPRESENT
ANY VOICE OR ANY PROTECTION FOR
THE CIVIL LIBERTIES AND PRIVACY
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE
BEEN WORKING ON WITH FELLOW
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TO
TRY TO BRING ABOUT SOME REAL
CHANGE AND REAL REFORM.
>> WOULD YOU CONSIDER A PRIVATE
CITIZEN AT THE TIME, A
CANDIDATE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE,
TO BE IN THAT SAME CATEGORY,
THAT BEING DONALD TRUMP.
>> I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN.
>> Bill: TALK ABOUT AFFORDING
EVERYDAY PEOPLE THEIR CIVIL
LIBERTIES TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE
PROTECTED BY THE SYSTEM OF
JUSTICE.
>> OF COURSE, OF COURSE.
THE RIGHTS THAT EVERY SINGLE
ONE OF US HAVE THAT ARE
AFFORDED TO US UNDER THE
CONSTITUTION INCLUDING CIVIL
LIBERTIES AND PRIVACY.
>> Sandra: YOU HAVE STRONG
THOUGHTS HOW TO PROCEED WITH
ESCALATING TENSIONS WITH IRAN.
HERE IS THE PRESIDENT ON THAT
YESTERDAY.
I'LL ASK YOU ABOUT IT AFTER.
>> President Trump: THEY ARE A
NATION OF TERROR AND WE WON'T
PUT UP WITH IT.
THE DEAL THAT WAS SIGNED BY
PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS A HORROR
SHOW.
A TERRIBLE DEAL.
THE MINUTE I COLLAPSED THAT
DEAL AND TERMINATED IT IRAN
WENT IN A VERY BAD DIRECTION.
THEY ARE NOW SUFFERING MASSIVE
PROBLEMS FINANCIALLY.
THEY HAVE INFLATION THAT IS
ABOUT THE HIGHEST IN THE WORLD.
>> Sandra: HOW SHOULD THE
UNITED STATES PROCEED,
CONGRESSWOMAN?
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT WHERE WE
ARE NOW.
WE'RE UNFORTUNATELY IN VERY
CONCERNINGLY ON THE BRINK OF
WAR WITH IRAN.
THESE ESCALATING TENSIONS HAVE
BROUGHT US HERE.
MY EXPERIENCE AS A SOLDER
HAVING DEPLOYED TWICE TO THE
MIDDLE EAST SERVICE IN CONGRESS
ON THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND
ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEES FOR
OVER SIX YEARS I'M FAMILIAR
WITH THE REGION, THE COST OF
WAR AND WHERE THIS PATH LEADS
US.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND HOW DEVASTATING AND
COSTLY SUCH A WAR WOULD BE.
HOW IT WOULD IMPACT ALMOST
EVERY PART OF OUR LIVES.
IT WOULD UNDERMINE OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY, IT WOULD STRENGTHEN
TERRORIST GROUPS LIKE ISIS AND
AL QAEDA AND TAKE THE TERRIBLE
HUMAN TOLL.
THE COST OF COUNTLESS AMERICAN
SERVICE MEMBERS' LIVES.
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN
UNIFORM.
THE COST TO CIVILIANS IN THE
REGION.
INCREASING THE REFUGEE CRISIS
ACROSS EUROPE AND IT WOULD COST
TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT WOULD
COME OUT OF OUR POCKETS.
TAXPAYERS' POCKETS TO PAY FOR
THIS ENDLESS WAR.
RESOURCES THAT WE WOULD NOT BE
ABLE TO USE FOR THINGS LIKE
REBUILDING OUR CRUMBLING
INFRASTRUCTURE.
>> Bill: TO BUILD ON THAT AND
TO PREVENT THAT AS A DETERRENT
WILL YOU GIVE THIS
ADMINISTRATION CREDIT FOR
SQUEEZING GROUPS THAT ARE
OFFSHOOTS THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY
THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT?
JUST THE REPORT THIS MORNING
SUGGESTING HEZBOLLAH AND HAMAS
ARE REACHING OUT TO GET MORE
FUNDING AND MONEY BECAUSE
THEY'RE BEING STRANGLED.
WOULD YOU GIVE HIM THAT?
>> THE DECISIONS THAT THIS
ADMINISTRATION HAS TAKEN
TOWARDS IRAN HAVE MADE THINGS
WORSE, NOT BETTER.
THEY HAVE MADE OUR COUNTRY, THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, LESS SAFE, NOT
MORE SECURE.
BY PULLING OUT OF THE IRAN
NUCLEAR DEAL THAT THERE ARE
SOME FLAWS AND THERE ARE
CONCERNS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
ADDRESSED SEPARATELY WHILE
MAINTAINING AND UPHOLDING THE
IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL TO PREVENT
IRAN FROM GETTING NUCLEAR
WEAPONS.
INSTEAD BY THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION PULLING OUT FROM
THIS DEAL, THEY'VE ESSENTIALLY
GIVEN IRAN AN EXCUSE TO BE ABLE
TO RESTART THIS IRAN NUCLEAR
WEAPONS PROGRAM WHICH IS
SOMETHING THAT THEY'VE STARTED
TALKING ABOUT.
SOMETHING THAT MAKES US AND THE
WORLD FAR LESS SAFE.
SO AS PRESIDENT I WOULD REENTER
THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL.
WORK OUT THE DIFFERENCES
OUTSIDE OF THAT AND DE-ESCALATE
THE TENSIONS THAT ARE BRINGING
US TO THE BRINK OF WAR WITH
IRAN TODAY.
>> Bill: I APPRECIATE YOUR
POSITION.
>> Sandra: 2020 DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES POLLING.
JOE BIDEN CLEARLY STILL THE
FRONTRUNNER LEADING BY DOUBLE
DIGITS OVER BERNIE SANDERS,
KAMALA HARRIS, ELIZABETH WARREN.
YOU AREN'T ON THE SCREEN
BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL POLLING IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS.
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO MAKE YOUR
MOVE?
>> WE'RE BRINGING OUR MESSAGE
DIRECTLY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
AND THAT IS A MESSAGE OF
PUTTING THE WELL-BEING AND
INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE FIRST AND FOREMOST AHEAD
OF PARTISAN INTERESTS, AHEAD OF
CORPORATE INTERESTS, AHEAD OF
INTERESTS OF OTHER COUNTRIES.
AND MAKING THIS COMMITMENT TO
THEM THAT AS PRESIDENT I WILL
END THESE WASTEFUL REGIME
CHANGE WARS WHETHER IT'S
AGAINST COUNTRIES LIKE
VENEZUELA, IRAN  SYRIA.
WORK TO END THE NEW COLD WAR
BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND
NUCLEAR ARMED COUNTRIES LIKE
RUSSIA AND CHINA.
AND END THIS NUCLEAR ARMS RACE
AND TAKE THE TRILLIONS OF
DOLLARS THAT WE WOULD CONTINUE
TO SPEND ON THESE WARS AND
WEAPONS IF WE CONTINUE DOWN THE
PATH WE'RE ON, AND TAKE THOSE
DOLLARS AND PUT THEM BACK IN
THE POCKETS OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
USE THOSE DOLLARS TO SERVE THE
NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
>> Bill: WE'RE OUT OF TIME BUT
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOURS
