MARIA: WELCOME BACK, TENSIONS
WITH IRAN ARE HEATING UP I RAN
BACK MILITIA STRIKING A US-BASED
IN NORTHEAST SYRIA AFTER
TARGETED ATTACK KILLED U.S. IRANIANS IN AN ATTACK INITIALLY
IRANIANS IN AN ATTACK INITIALLY
FROM AN IRANIAN DRUG THAT KILLED
A U.S. CONTRACTOR IN FIVE U.S.
TROOPS IN ANOTHER CONTRACTOR,
TEHRAN’S AGGRESSION IS RAISING
ALARM BELLS FOLLOWING THE
COLLAPSE OF THE IRAN NUCLEAR
DEAL AS U.S. FOREIGN POLICY IS
PUT TO THE TEST ON MULTIPLE
FRONTS JOINING ME TO ASSESS THE
SITUATION AS FORMER SECRETARY OF
STATE, MIKE POMPEO, IT’S ALWAYS
A PLEASURE THANK YOU FOR BEING IN THE SEEKING TO MAKE IT’S
IN THE SEEKING TO MAKE IT’S
GREAT TO BE WITH YOU.
MARIA: WHAT ABOUT IRAN IN THESE
ISSUES IN SYRIA FEELS LIKE WERE
GETTING MULTIPLE THREATS ON ALL
DIFFERENT SIDES.
>> IT CERTAINLY DOES IF YOU TAKE
A LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE DOING A
HALF YEARS AGO FROM WHERE WE ARE
TODAY I THINK AMERICANS CAN FEEL
AND SEE WERE AT MORE RISK WITH
THEM AMERICAN CONTRACTOR KILLED
IN SYRIA BY AN ARABIAN STRIKE
THE SAME DRONES ARE KILLING
INNOCENT UKRAINIANS IN SUPPORT OF THE RUSSIANS.
OF THE RUSSIANS.
WE CAN SEE THE POLICY OF IRAN IS
FAILING THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA IT’S INCREASING ENERGY
PRICES AND PUTTING OUR SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS AND AIRMEN NOT
RISKING A FRIEND TO ISRAEL AND
ENORMOUS PEERLESS AS A RING AND
MOVES DOWN THE PATH TO A NUCLEAR
WEAPON PROGRAM.
WE HAD IT RIGHT AND PUT REAL
PRESSURE ON THE REGIME AND I’M
TOLD THE PRESIDENT THOSE OF THE
THINGS THAT AMERICA CAN DO,
ISRAEL WILL BE OUR FRIEND IN OUR
SECURITY PARTNER, THE GULF
STATES WILL SEE THAT AND THEY
WON’T ENGAGE IN HEDGING BEHAVIOR
WITH THE CHINESE OR THE IRANIANS
AMERICA CAN GET THIS RIGHT WE
CAN MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST MORE
STABLE AND PROSPEROUS AND REDUCE
RISK AT HOME THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION HAS A COMPLETELY
BACKWARDS.
MARIA: YOU DID DO THAT IN YOU
TRAVEL THE WORLD DOING IT AS
YOUR TIME IS SECRETARY OF STATE
NOT TO MENTION WHAT YOU’VE DONE
WITH THE CIA AS WELL BUT I WANT
TO GET YOUR TAKE ON THIS A
ADMINISTRATIONS RESPONSE IT
SEEMS EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS,
THIS ADMINISTRATIONS IS THE SAME
THING WERE NOT LOOKING FOR
CONFLICT.
RUSSIA JUST DOWNS WHATEVER
DRONES AND WE SAY WERE NOT
LOOKING FOR CONFLICT.
CHINA SENDS A SURVEILLANCE
BALLOON TRAVELING ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AND WERE NOT LOOKING FOR
CONFLICT.
THE COVID-19 NO INVESTIGATION
INTO THE ONE LAB WERE NOT
LOOKING FOR CONFLICT.
NOW XI JINPING IS POSITIONING
HIMSELF AS A POWERBROKER HE’S
INVITING THE PRIME MINISTER OF
SPAIN TO VISIT NEXT WEEK TO
DISCUSS THE ONGOING WAR WITH
UKRAINE.
I FIND THIS TROUBLING, NOW HE’S
GOING INTO WESTERN EUROPE AS
WELL TO LOOK LIKE A POWERBROKER,
HE JUST RETURNED FROM A THREE
DAY SUMMIT WITH LOTTERY PUT IN
AND THEY ENDED WITH THE TWO
PLEDGING TO SHAPE A NEW WORLD
ORDER.
WHAT YOU MAKE OF THE NEW WORLD
ORDER?
>> MARIA YOU JUST NAILED IT THE
MORE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES REPEATS WERE NOT LOOKING
FOR CONFLICT THE MORE CONFLICT
WE’RE GOING TO FIND.
IT WILL CONFINE TEST THIS IS
DETERRENCE ONE-ON-ONE.
WHEN YOU SAY A MINOR INCURSION
IN AFGHANISTAN, INTO UKRAINE
MIGHT BE OKAY THE RUSSIANS
NOTICE WHEN YOU FLEE AFGHANISTAN
TO GET 13 AMERICANS KILLED THE
CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY NOTICES
WHEN YOU LET THE BALLOON TRAVEL
FOR FIVE DAYS THESE GUYS WATCH
HOW AMERICA RESPONDS.
THEY WILL PUSH AND PUSH UNTIL
THEY MEET STEEL AND TODAY THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS SHOWN
ALL THEY TALK ABOUT WERE AFRAID
WERE TO PROVOKE SOMEONE.
YOU PROVOKE THROUGH WEAKNESS AND
I WISH THEY WOULD FIGURE THIS
OUT, UNTIL THEY FIGURE THIS OUT
THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO KEEP
COMING, REALLY SEE WHETHER THE
IRANIANS AND THE NORTH KOREANS
ARE FIRING MORE MISSILES EVERY
DAY THESE ARE THE KINDS OF
THINGS OF THE BAD GUYS WILL PUT
TOGETHER AND THEY PUT EVERY
AMERICAN FAMILY AT RISK.
MARIA: SO DISTURBING I’M JUST
WONDERING IF THIS IS ALSO WHAT’S
BEHIND THE CONSTANT
INVESTIGATING OF YOUR FORMER
PARTNER, PRESIDENT TRUMP.
YOU HAVE NEW YORK’S DISTRICT
ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG
INVESTIGATING DONALD TRUMP.
WERE ALL WAITING TO SEE IF A
FORMER PRESIDENT IS GOING TO GET
INDICTED.
WE UNDERSTAND THE GRAND JURY IS
GOING TO RECONVENE NEXT WEEK.
IS THIS ALL ABOUT LOOK OVER HERE
NOT OVERHEAR THE FAILINGS OF
THIS ADMINISTRATION?
>> I THINK THE DA BRAGG IS A
POLITICAL HACK.
I THINK IS PROSECUTING THE CLAIM THAT WOULD BE PROSECUTED IN ANY
THAT WOULD BE PROSECUTED IN ANY
OTHER CONTEXT BUT THIS ONE.
THE REAL RISK IS NOT ABOUT ANY
INDIVIDUAL.
THE REAL RISK IS TO OUR
DEMOCRACY AND THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE IN OUR PRIMARY
INSTITUTION LIKE PROSECUTORS TO
JUST GET RIGHT.
WHEN 70 RIOTS, PROSECUTE THEM.
WHEN SYLVIA CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION WHEN THEY SHOULDN’T,
HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
ALL THESE THINGS ARE THINGS WE
SHOULD DO REGARDLESS OF PARTY
POLITICS WE CAN SEE IN NEW YORK
THAT IS NOT HAPPENING TODAY.
THIS WILL FURTHER UNDERMINE AND
FURTHER ERODE THE MAKE AND PEOPLE’S CONFIDENCE IN THE RULE
PEOPLE’S CONFIDENCE IN THE RULE
OF LAW BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF
HOW WE PROCEED AMERICA, THERE’S
AN AWFUL LOT OF RISK TO OUR
REPUBLIC AND WE CONTINUE DOWN
THIS PATH.
WE SAW THE D.O.J. AND FBI AND WE
SAW THE RUSSIA HOAX DURING OUR
TIME.
THESE ARE THE THINGS UNDERMINE
THE IMPORTANT INSTITUTIONS IN
AMERICA AND NONE OF US CAN LET
THAT HAPPEN.
>> WE NEED REAL LEADERSHIP
MR. SECRETARY ARE YOU GOING TO
BE ANNOUNCING YOUR PRESIDENCY
SOON?
>> WERE GETTING CLOSE TO
DECISION, MY WIFE IS WORKING
CLOSE TO DECISION WILL MAKE IT
IN THE NEXT HANDFUL OF WEEKS AND
THEN WE WILL STAY IN THIS FIGHT
THESE ARE THINGS THAT BEEN
WORKING ON MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE
WE CAN STAY AT IT YOU CAN REST
ASSURE.
>> YOU BEEN WORKING ON IT YOUR
