>> OKAY. BETSY WOODROUGH,UFF, JEFF MASON,
A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
GET OUT AND ENJOY IT.
ROBERT COSTA, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
OPINIONS.
OPINIONS. >>> LET’S GO BACK TO SOUTH
CAROLINA.
CAROLINA. 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CONTAINED DATE
JAY INSLEE.
JAY INSLEE. THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME, SIR.
I HOPE YOU HEARD IT, AND IF NOT,
YOU’RE FAMILIAR WITH IT, WHAT
THE PRESIDENT’S REASONING WAS
FOR CALLING OFF THAT STRIKE
AGAINST IRAN.
AGAINST IRAN. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WAS THE
CASE, THAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT THE
CASUALTIES AND SAID, DON’T WANT
TO GO THERE, THAT IT WASN’T A
PROPORTIONATE RESPONSE?
PROPORTIONATE RESPONSE? >> LOOK, I DON’T KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED THERE.
HAPPENED THERE. ALL I KNOW IS IT PROBABLY ISN’T
A VERY GOOD BET TO TRUST A MAN
THAT HAS TOLD HIS SON TRUCE
EVERY TWO ANDFOR
THE LAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS.
WHY ARE WE HAVING THIS
UNNECESSARY TENSION WITH IRAN?
WHY ARE WE NOT OBSERVING THE
TREATY, THE AGREEMENT, WHICH WAS
ON THE PATH TO KEEP THEM FROM
BECOMING A NUCLEAR POWER.
ALL OF US ARE COMMITTED TO IRAN
NOT BECOMING A NUCLEAR POWER.
WE HAD AN AGREEMENT.
IT WAS AN ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT.
THEY WERE COMPLYING WITH IT.
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WAS
WITH US.
WITH US. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS
TENSION.
TENSION. THAT’S THE THING THAT’S SO
TROUBLESOME FOR US.
WE NEED TO GO BACK AND RESTORE
THE INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS WE
HAVE TO KEEP IRAN FROM BECOMING
A NUCLEAR POWER.
LOOK, I SAW THE IRAQ WAR.
I VOTED AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR.
WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW THAT TO
HAPPEN IN THIS COUNTRY.
>> SO YOU THINK WE SHOULD GO
BACK TO THE TABLE, BRING OUR
ALLIES THERE AND PROCEED IN THAT
MANNER?
MANNER? >> CORRECT, BUT WE ALREADY HAVE
AN AGREEMENT WITH IRAN.
IT’S ALREADY IN PLACE UNTIL
DONALD TRUMP, IN A FIT OF PEAK,
TORE IT UP.
THE THING THAT’S INTERESTING TO
ME IS THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY HAD CONFIRMED THAT
IRAN, IN FACT, WAS COMPLYING
WITH THE TREATY.
THE PROBLEM STATEMENT IS WITH
DONALD TRUMP.
DONALD TRUMP. YOU KNOW, WARS ARE ALWAYS A
PROBLEM, BUT WARS WITHOUT A GOOD
REASON ARE A TRAGEDY.
WE CANNOT ALLOW US TO SLIP INTO
UNNECESSARY CONFLICT.
UNNECESSARY CONFLICT. I AM HOPEFUL THAT CONGRESS WILL
STEP UP AND ASSERT SOME MORAL
AUTHORITY TO PREVENT THIS
PRESIDENT FROM GOING INTO AN
ACCIDENTAL AND A NECESSARY WAR.
IT’S SOMETHING I FOUGHT AGAINST
IN THE IRAQ WAR, I’LL DO IT
AGAIN THIS TIME.
>> YOU CERTAINLY DID.
ALL RIGHT, GOVERNOR, LET’S GO TO
WHAT’S HAPPENING THERE IN SOUTH
CAROLINA WHERE I KNOW YOU’RE
ADDRESSING THE STATE NATIONAL
CONVENTION AS WELL AS 20
OPPONENTS.
OPPONENTS. YOU’RE AT THAT PODIUM IN LESS
THAN TWO HOURS FROM NOW.
WHAT’S YOUR MESSAGE TO VOTERS
THERE?
THERE? >> THE VESS IMAGINE IS THAT WE
NEED SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD A
SUCCESS AS AN EXECUTIVE BUILDING
A STRONG ECONOMY AS I HAVE.
I’VE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL TO
HAVE THE NUMBER BUN ECONOMYONE E
THE UNITED STATES.
BECAUSE WE HAVE THE HIGHEST
MINIMUM WAGE, BECAUSE WE HAVE
THE PAID FAMILY LEAVE.
IT’S BECAUSE WE HAVE HIGH WAGES
FOR OUR TEACHERS, IT’S BECAUSE
WE PASSED PUBLIC HEALTH LAWS FOR
AMERICA.
AMERICA. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE TO BE
SEEN IN ONE CONTEXT WITH THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
AND THAT IS TO DEFEAT THE
CRISIS.
CRISIS. I’M THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO IS
MAKING THIS PLEDGE, AND THAT IS
I WILL MAKE DEFEATING THE
CLIMATE CRISIS THE NUMBER ONE
PRIORITY OF THE UNITED STATES.
IT HAS TO BE THE FIRST FOREMOST
PRIORITY.
PRIORITY. IT HAS TO BE THE THING THAT IS A
PARAMOUNT DUTY BECAUSE IT IS AN
EXISTENTIAL CRISIS.
EXISTENTIAL CRISIS. I HAVE PROPOSED A VISION ABOUT
PUTTING 8 MILLION PEOPLE TO WORK
IN A CLEAN ENERGY REVOLUTION IN
THIS COUNTRY, AND IT IS A WAY TO
BEAT DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE WE
DEMOCRATS KNOW THIS.
DONALD TRUMP IS WRONG.
CLEAN ENERGY DOESN’T CAUSE
CANCER, THEY CAUSE JOBS.
WE’RE GOING TO BUILD A BETTER
CLIMATE.
CLIMATE. >> I DO WANT TO ASK BEFORE YOU
GO, SIR, I KNOW YOU HAVE TO GET
READY FOR YOUR SPEECH, BUT THE
FIRST DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY DEBATE
FOUR DAYS FROM NOW.
ARE YOU LOOKING GUARD TO STAND
STANDING ON THAT STAGE WITH NINE
OTHERS?
OTHERS? >> I COMMITTED TO A PRIORITY OF
THE UNITED STATES, AND IT IS THE
GOLD STANDARD BY CORTEZ.
GO TO MY WEBSITE JAY INSLEE,
TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
I ALSO HAVE A MESSAGE OF
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY BUILDING
A MIDDLE CLASS INSTEAD OF A
TRICKLE-DOWN ECONOMY.
TRICKLE-DOWN ECONOMY. WE HAVE DONE THE THINGS THAT
HELP BUILD A MIDDLE CLASS IN OUR
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE
DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY TO
BUILD THE NUMBER ONE ECONOMY IN
THE UNITED STATES.
I’M A GOVERNOR WHO HAS DONE
THAT.
THAT. I THINK THIS VISION IS UNIQUE.
I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT
