INSENSITIVE.
BREAKING TONIGHT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP PUTTING IRAN ON
NOTICE AFTER THE LEADERSHIP SAID
THE WHITE HOUSE IS AFFLICTED BY
MENTAL RETARDATION.
THE PRESIDENT TWEETING HIS
RESPONSE.
IRAN'S IGNORANT AND INSULTING
STATEMENT SHOWS THEY DO NOT
UNDERSTAND REALITY.
ANY ATTACK BY IRAN ON ANY
AMERICAN WILL BE MET WITH GREAT
FAN OVERWHELMING FORCE.
IN SOME AREAS, OVERWHELMING WILL
MEAN OBLITERATION.
NO MORE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: THEIR COUNTRY
IS NOT GOING DOING WELL
ECONOMICALLY.
AND THAT COULD CHANGE QUICKLY.
I HOPE THE LEADERSHIP STAYS AND
DOES A GREAT JOB.
BUT THEY SHOULD TALK TO US
DECENTLY.
X WANT IT TO BE DONE -- WE WANT
IT TO BE DONE PROPERLY.
TRISH: HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT
REGIME CHANGE.
HE SAYS WE ARE ALL FOR THEM.
WE WANT IT DONE PROPERLY.
I TALKED TO A NUMBER OF PEOPLE
IN THIS ADMINISTRATION.
MY ADVICE?
LAWN'S LEADERSHIP NEEDS TO GET
OVER ITSELF.
AND THE LEADERS THEMSELVES.
YOU HEARD HIM, HE'S NOT
INTERESTED IN REGIME CHANGE.
SO WHY IN THE HECK ARE YOU DOING
THINGS LIKE THIS?
THAT AIN'T HELPING YOUR CAUSE.
INSTEAD, IRAN, YOU NEED TO TAKE
A PAGE FROM MEXICO'S BOOK.
IRAN CAN LEARN FROM MEXICO.
REMEMBER HOW THE MEXICO
THREATENED TARIFFS AS HIGH AS
25% FOR MEXICAN GOOD?
WHAT DID MEXICO DO?
IT HIGH-TAILED IT TO WASHINGTON
AND SAT DOWN AND NEGOTIATED WITH
THIS ADMINISTRATION.
TONIGHT MEXICO IS PUTTING 15,000
TROOPS ON ITS BORDERS WITH THE
U.S. TO HELP PROTECT THE
U.S.-MEXICAN BORDER.
AND SO FAR NO TARIFFS.
SO THE SAME OPPORTUNITY AS WE
SPEAK EXISTS FOR IRAN.
THE PRESIDENT SAYING TONIGHT AS
YOU HEARD, HE'S READY TO SIT
DOWN AND READY TO NEGOTIATE WITH
IRAN.
HE'S BEEN SAY THIG THIS FOR
QUITE SOME TIME.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: IRAN IS IN
TROUBLE.
I WOULD LOVE TO NEGOTIATE WITH
IRAN.
THEY ARE NOT READY YET, I DON'T
THINK.
AT SOME POINT THEY WILL GET VERY
SMART AND THEY ARE GOING TO COME
BACK AND NEGOTIATE A REAL DEAL,
A FAIR DEAL, AND A DEAL THAT
LETS THEM THRIVE.
WE WANT THEM TO DLIEF.
>> I ENDED THE IRAN DEAL, IT WAS
A RIDICULOUS DEAL.
I'M READY TO MEET ANY TIME THEY
WANT TO.
TRISH: DID YOU HEAR THAT?
IRAN, PICK UP THE DARN PHONE.
IRANIANS CAN'T SEEM TO GET
BEYOND THE TEARING UP OF OBAMA'S
DEAL.
STOP FEELING SO BAD FOR
YOURSELF.
DEAL IN REALITY.
MAY NOT LIKE IT, BUT THE UNITED
STATES HOLDS THE CARDS.
SO SHOW UP, PLAY NICE, AND ACT
LIKE A RESPONSIBLE WORLD ACTOR.
AND I'M PRETTY SURE YOUR
ECONOMIC TROUBLES WILL BE EASED.
HE SAID IT RIGHT THERE.
HE SAID IRAN COULD THRIVE.
BUT THEY NEED TO PLAY BALL.
JOINING ME RIGHT NOW, FORMER
DEPUTY NATIONAL SECURITY
ADVISOR, CASEY MacFARLAND.
>> YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
YOU SAY THEY ARE READY, THOUGH.
I SAY WHY DON'T THEY JUST PICK
UP THE PHONE AND DO IT.
>> THEY ARE MACHO.
TRUMP HAS ALL THE HIGH CARD.
THE IRANIAN ECONOMY HAS
CONTRACTED BY 6%.
THEY HAVE GOT TO DO A DEAL.
WE DON'T NEED THEIR OIL.
THAT'S POINT NUMBER ONE.
POINT NUMBER TWO, CHINA IS ON
OUR SIDE.
WE DON'T NEED THEIR OIL.
THE WHOLE WORLD HAS GONE ALONG
WITH US ON SANCTIONS.
THE SITUATION WITH IRAN ONLY
GETS WORSE OVER TIME.
THE IRANIAN PEOPLE ARE PROUD
PEOPLE AND THEY DON'T WANT TO GO
ON THEIR HAND AND KNEES BEGGING
FOR A DEAL, THAT'S NOT WHO THEY
ARE.
SO THEY HAVE THEIR MACHO BACK.
THEY SHOT DOWN A DRONE, THEY
MINED A FEW SHIPS, THEY ARE
DOING TRASH TALK.
THEY ARE IN A POSITION TO ANSWER
TRUMP SAYING NOW THAT YOU ARE
READY MAYBE YOU ARE READY.
TRISH: THE PRESIDENT KEEPS
SAYING THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
IF THEY ARE READY AND EVERYBODY
GETS IN A ROOM AND TALKS.
WHAT DOES A DEAL LOOK LIKE?
WHAT DO WE NEED?
AND WHAT MIGHT THEY GET IN
RETURN?
>> WE ASKED FOR THEM TO STOP
THEIR NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM
AND MISSILE PROGRAM WHICH IS HOW
YOU DELIVER A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
WE WANT YOU TO JOIN US IN THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.
THEY WILL WORK OUT THE
NEGOTIATING POINTS OF THE DEAL.
THAT TO ME IS A DETAIL.
TRUMP LAID COUNT BIGGER DEAL
WHICH IS, WE WANT TO NEGOTIATE
YOU ON OUR TERMS.
WE WANT TO LET YOU HAVE A FAIR
SITUATION AS WELL.
AND BECAUSE TIME IS ON OUR SIDE,
THEY HAVE GOT TO COME AND
NEGOTIATE, WHETHER IT'S THIS
YEAR, THIS WEEK, THIS MONTH.
AND IF IT'S NOT THESE GUYS --
>> I'M CURIOUS TO GET YOUR
PERSPECTIVE.
ELIZABETH WARREN JUST OUT
TONIGHT, THIS NEWS JUST
BREAKING, SAYING SHE BELIEVES
THE DECRIMINALIZATION IF YOU
WOULD OF ALL POTENTIAL THAT
WOULD COME HERE CROSSING OUR
BORDER.
ANY SENSE OF WHAT THAT MONTH
WOULD MEAN FOR OUR COUNTRY?
NOT FROM A POLITICAL STANDPOINT
BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING
TO OUTTO DO THEMSELVES RIGHT
NOW.
BUT WHAT WOULD IT MEAN IN TERMS
OF OUR COUNTRY AND THE SECURITY
OUR COUNTRY.
>> SHE IS BASICALLY SAYING OPEN
BORDERS, COME ON IN EVERYBODY.
3.4 MILLION PEOPLE FROM CENTRAL
AMERICA WOULD LOVE TO BE HERE.
A COUNTRY CANNOT HAVE -- A
COUNTRY HAS TO HAVE SECURE
BORDERS.
BECAUSE OTHERSWISE WE HAVE TO
EDUCATE THEM, TRAIN THEM.
HOW WOULD THEY BE AMERICANS AND
ASSIMILATE.
THE POINT OF IMMIGRATION IS TO
COME HERE AND ASSIMILATE.
IF YOU WANT AN EXAMPLE OF HOW
THIS IS GOING TO WORK OUT?
LOOK AT EUROPE.
THE EUROPEAN UNION IS COLLAPSING
BECAUSE ANGELA MERKEL SAID COME
ON IN.
TRISH: THEY WELCOMED ALL THOSE
SYRIAN REFUGEES.
AND GERMANY COULD -- GERMANY HAS
A HISTORY THAT I THINK IN MANY
WAYS HERE WANTING TO COMPENSATE
FOR.
THIS WAS PERHAPS ONE WAY TO DO
IT.
BUT IT'S REALLY TURNED INTO AN
ECONOMIC DISASTER AS WELL AS A
CULTURAL DISASTER.
>> CULTURAL, ECONOMIC AND
SECURITY DISASTER.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR AND
ALWAYS THINK OF WHAT ARE THE
UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE UNITED
STATES ECONOMY, SECURITY,
CULTURE.
TRISH: BUT IN THE MEANTIME A
DEAL CAN BE DONE WITH IRAN.
AND I HOFF YOUR OPTIMISM.
