WELCOME BACK.
IS THE UNITED STATES HEADING
TOWARD ANOTHER MIDDLE EAST
SHOWDOWN?
THIS TIME WITH IRAN.
IT'S MAKING BIG NEWS THIS WEEK
AND I ASKED PRESIDENT TRUMP
DIRECTLY ABOUT IT IN THE ROSE
GARDEN.
LET'S MOVE ON TO ANOTHER
HOTSPOT, IRAN AND THE MIDDLE
EAST.
TELL US WHAT YOUR ANALYSIS IS
ON WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
>> IRAN'S BEEN A PROBLEM FOR
SO MANY YEARS.
JUST LOOK AT ALL THE CONFLICT
BAKED CAUSED THEM A DEAL THAT
PRESIDENT OBAMA MADE WAS A
HORROR SHOW, THE IRAN NUCLEAR
DEAL BECAUSE BASICALLY IT SAYS
THAT FIVE YEARS FROM NOW THERE
CAN HAVE AN OPEN VET FOR
MAKING NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER COUNTRY
LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY THEM.
HE MADE THIS TERRIBLE DEAL,
PAY THE HUNDRED $50 BILLION,
PAID 1.8 BILLION IN CASH, CASH
LIKE OUT OF YOUR POCKET,
NOBODY'S EVER HEARD OF
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER
SEEN AT THE CASINO PROMOTION,
A MILLION DOLLARS AND HUNDRED
DOLLAR BILLS, IT'S A LOT OF
AREA.
WHAT A BILLION .8.
HE PUT
HE PAID ALL THIS MONEY,
MADE A TERRIBLE DEAL, WE DON'T
HAVE GOOD INSPECTION RIGHTS,
WE WEREN'T EVEN ALLOWED TO
INSPECT SOME OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT SPACES.
THE DEAL WAS TERRIBLE.
WHEN I FIRST CAME TO OFFICE,
ONE OF THE FIRST MEETINGS I
HAD WAS AT THE PENTAGON WITH
GENERALS.
THEY WERE SHOWING ME THE
MIDDLE EAST AND THEY HAD 14 OR
15 SITES WHERE THERE WAS
NOTHING BUT WAR, PROBLEMS,
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE
SITES WAS INSTIGATED BY IRAN.
IT WAS AROUND MILITARY, PEOPLE
PAID BY IRAN, YOU HAVE NO
IDEA.
I SAID THIS IS TERRIBLE.
THEY WERE SO STRONG, I ENDED
THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL AND,
ACTUALLY, I MUST TELL YOU I
HAD NO IDEA IT WAS GOING TO BE
AS STRONG AS IT WAS.
IT TOTALLY, THE COUNTRY IS
DEVASTATED FROM THE STANDPOINT.
>> BUT NOW YOU SEE, THE THING
THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
WORRIED ABOUT, THEY HEARD WHAT
YOU SAID IN 2016, THEY LIKE IT
WHEN YOU SAID NO MORE STUPID
WORK.
YOU HEAR THOSE STORIES ABOUT
TROOPS.
>> I JUST DON'T WANT THAT TO
HAPPEN WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS
AND THEY CAN'T BE THREATENING
US.
WITH ALL OF EVERYTHING THAT'S
GOING ON, AND I'M NOT ONE THAT
BELIEVES I'M NOT SOMEBODY WHO
WANTS TO GO INTO WAR BECAUSE
WERE KILLED PEOPLE, I THINK IF
YOU LOOK WHEN I LOOK TO NORTH
KOREA THERE WERE NUCLEAR TESTS
ALL THE TIME, MISSILES GOING
UP ALL THE TIME, WE HAD A VERY
ROUGH TIME.
WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS RIGHT
NOW.
RIGHT NOW, I DON'T GET TOLD
THEM WHEN I LEFT VIETNAM WE
HAVE THE SUMMIT, I SAID
CHAIRMAN KIM AND VERY
IMPORTANTLY I SAID LOOK, IF
YOU'RE NOT READY FOR A DEAL
BECAUSE HE WANTED TO GET RID
OF ONE OR TWO SITES AND I SAID
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER THREE
SITES.
I SET UP ORGAN TO MAKE A DEAL
LET'S MAKE A REAL DEAL.
WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY TESTS OF
THE LAST TWO YEARS.
THERE'S A CHART AND IT SHOWS
24 TEST, 22 TEST, 18 TEST,
THEN I COME IN ONCE I'M THERE
FOR A LITTLE WHILE WE WENT FOR
A LITTLE ROUGH RHETORICAL.
, BUT ONCE I'M THERE FOR A
LITTLE WHILE, NO TEST, NO
TEST, NO TEST.
>> LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
>> YOU CANNOT LET IRAN HAVE
NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR.
>> I WANT TO READ YOU
SOMETHING LINDSEY GRAHAM SAID,
YOUR FRIEND LINDSEY GRAHAM.
>> YES.
>> HE WAS IN A MAGAZINE AND HE
REPORTED ON A CONVERSATION HE
HAD WITH YOU AND HE SAID THAT
YOU SAID TO HIM THE TROUBLE
WITH YOU IS THAT YOU WANT TO
INVADE EVERYWHERE EXCEPT THE
PLACES I WANT TO INVADE SO MY
QUESTION IS, WHERE DOES HE
WANT TO INVADE, BUT MORE
IMPORTANT WHERE DO YOU WANT TO
INVADE.
>> I WANT TO INVADE
ECONOMICALLY.
WE'VE CREATED A MUCH STRONGER
COUNTRY AND WHEN I TOOK IT
OVER.
OUR GDP WOULD'VE BEEN VERY
NEGATIVE.
REGULATIONS DIDN'T ALLOW YOU
TO DO IT, YESTERDAY AS YOU
PROBABLY THOUGHT I WAS IN
LOUISIANA OPENING UP A
$10 BILLION PLANT THAT
WOULD'VE NEVER BEEN APPROVED
UNDER ANOTHER TYPE OF
ADMINISTRATION.
NOW YOU HAVE 10000 PEOPLE
WORKING THERE.
$10BILLION INVESTED.
WE HAVE TREMENDOUS POWER
ECONOMICALLY.
IF I CONSULT THINGS
ECONOMICALLY COME ABOUT THE
WAY I WANT.
>> YOU CAN REASSURE PEOPLE
YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR SOME
KIND OF CONFLICT IN IRAN.
>> WILL I'M THE ONE THAT TALKS
ABOUT THESE WARS THAT ARE 19
YEARS AND PEOPLE ARE JUST
THERE, AND DON'T KID YOURSELF,
YOU DO HAVE A MILITARY
INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
THEY DO LIKE WAR.
IN SYRIA WITH THE CALIPHATE, I
WIPE OUT 100% OF THE
CALIPHATE.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE NOT
CAN HAVE THESE CRAZY PEOPLE
GOING AROUND, BLOWING UP
STORES AND BLOWING UP THINGS,
THESE ARE SERIOUSLY ILL
PEOPLE.
I DON'T WANT TO SAY THEY WIPED
ISIS, BUT I WIPED OUT 100% OF
THE CALIPHATE.
I SAID I WANT TO BRING OUR
TROOPS BACK HOME AND THE PLACE
WENT CRAZY.
YOU HAVE PEOPLE HERE IN
WASHINGTON, THEY NEVER WANT TO
LEAVE.
I SAID I'LL LEAVE A COUPLE
HUNDRED SOLDIERS BEHIND, BUT
IF IT WAS UP TO THEM THEY
BRING THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS
IN.
SOMEDAY PEOPLE WILL EXPLAIN
IT, BUT YOU DO HAVE A GROUP,
AND THEY CALL IT THE
MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
THEY NEVER WANT TO LEAVE, THEY
ALWAYS WANT TO FIGHT.
I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT, BUT YOU
DO HAVE SITUATIONS LIKE IRAN.
YOU CAN'T LET THEM HAVE
NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
YOU JUST CAN'T LET THAT
HAPPEN.
>> SO THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF
WHAT PEOPLE LIKED IN 2016
WHERE YOU DIDN'T COME OVER.
>> BUT I HAVEN'T CHANGED.
>> TAKE A LOOK.
THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT ON
OUR SHOW.
>> I GAVE THE GENERAL, I SAID
GO AHEAD, ONE YEAR, SEE WHAT
YOU CAN DO IN AFGHANISTAN.
SO THEY FIGHT AND FIGHT, BUT
WE'VE TAKEN IT WAY DOWN IN
AFGHANISTAN.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN
THAT BUT WE'VE TAKEN IT WAY
DOWN.
NOW, IT'S A ROUGH PLACE, IT'S
A BAD PLACE, A LOT OF BAD
THINGS HAPPENING, THE WORLD
TRADE CENTER BOMBERS WERE SORT
OF COME ABOUT SORT OF LIKE THE
HARVARD UNIVERSITY OF
TERRORISM.
