ACTIONS ON RUSSIA.
DAGEN: JOINING ME NOW GENERAL
JACK KEANE, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF
THIS ACTION, IS IT NECESSARY IN.
>> WELL, I DON'T -- I DON'T
REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S
CLEARANCES AND WHO SHOULD KEEP
THEM AFTER THEY FINISH
GOVERNMENT SERVICE AS A MATTER
OF POLICY, I THINK THAT'S
PROBABLY OKAY, LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT IT AND SEE.
IN THE MILITARY, YOU'RE NOT
GOING KEEP SECURITY CLEARANCE
UNLESS THERE'S A REASON FOR IT.
YOU LEFT THE MILITARY BUT STILL
WORKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT IN
SOME CAPACITY OR YOU'RE WORKING
IN AN INDUSTRY WHERE SECURITY
CLEARANCES IS REQUIRED AND EVERY
5 YEARS YOU WILL GET IT
ACTIVATED AGAIN.
THIS APPEARS TO HAVE -- TARGET
AT INDIVIDUALS WHICH MEANS IT
SEEMS PERSONAL TO ME AND FRANKLY
I UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION THE
DEALING WITH THE GOVERNMENT TO
HAVE THE KIND OF ANIMUS THAT'S
AND SOME OF THAT IS OBVIOUSLY
GETS VERY PERSONAL.
ALL THAT SAID, I DON'T SEE THE
POLICY ISSUE HERE.
DAGEN: WALL STREET JOURNAL HAD
EDITORIAL ON THE MATTER, DUMB
IDEA OF THE WEEK, THEY SAID IT'S
PETTY, IT'S A DUMB IDEA, THEY
WRITE THAT SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE
SAID THAT'S A DUMB IDEA, WILL
MAKE US LOOK PETTY AND WON'T
ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING AND JIM
COMEY SAID THAT HE WAS READ OUT
WHEN HE LEFT AS FBI DIRECTOR AND
HE NO LONGER HAS SECURITY
CLEARANCE AND ANDY MCCABE SAID
THE SAME THING.
HIS SECURITY CLEARANCE IS NO
LONGER -- DEACTIVATED.
IT'S THAT ISSUE.
MAYBE THEY ARE USING -- THE
OTHER GENTLEMEN COULD BE USING
SECURITY CLEARANCES IN THEIR
CONSULTING WORK PERHAPS
NEVERTHELESS, IT'S NOT GOING TO
SHUT THEM UP TO BE QUITE BLUNT,
THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP THE
INDIVIDUALS -- BY THE WAY, I
WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO SENATOR
RAND PAUL WHAT HE SAID ABOUT
FORMER CIA CHIEF JOHN BRENNAN.
>> HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION WITH
THE PRESIDENT.
I'VE BEEN VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
JOHN BRENNAN CONTINUING TO HAVE
ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED MATERIAL.
I THINK ANYONE WHO IS CALLING
BASICALLY THE PRESIDENT
TREASONOUS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE
THE DEATH PENALTY IS SOMEONE
THAT IS OVER THE TOP AND NOT
SHOWING THE PROPER JUDGMENT AND
STILL HAVE ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED
LOT OF ANIMOSITY.
THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.
I DON'T THINK -- I DON'T THINK
FOR A MINUTE THAT BRENNAN IS
GOING IN AND GETTING CLASSIFIED
BRIEFING FROM THE CIA THAT HELP
HIM CRITICIZE THE CIA, THAT'S
NOT HAPPENING.
THAT'S A STRETCH.
IN TERMS OF MONETIZING THIS
THING, YOU KNOW, SECRETARY --
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER RICE
AND OTHERS WHO HAD THE POSITION,
IF THEY'RE OUT THERE TRYING TO
EARN A LIVING, THAT'S HAPPENING
AS A RESULT OF THE POSITIONS
GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH SECURITY
CLEARANCE.
DAGEN: WELL SAID, GENERAL.
SATELLITE IMAGES SHOW THAT THE
ROGUE REGIME IS DISMANTLING
SITE, HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THIS
MOVE GENERAL OR IS IT EMPTY
GESTURE?
>> THIS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION.
THIS IS A TEST FACILITY AND THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT THEY PROMISED
MONTHS AGO AS A RESULT OF
EARLIER VISIT BY SECRETARY
REALLY PUT IT ON THE TABLE AS A
RESULT OF HIS LAST DISCUSSIONS
WITH THEM SO THEY'VE FULFILLING
SOMETHING THAT THEY PROMISED
NUCLEAR CAPABILITY AND THAT'S
WHAT WE ARE WAITING FOR AND I
DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE GOING TO
GET THERE OR NOT BUT THE
ADMINISTRATION ESSENTIAL HAS A
MUCH BETTER FEEL FOR IT.
THE KEY DENOMINATOR IS HAVE THEY
GIVEN THE ADMINISTRATION A
LOCATION AND IDENTITY OF ALL OF
THEIR NUCLEAR AND BALLISTIC
OUT THERE AND TAKE A LOOK AT
THEM TO VERIFY THAT THEY ARE
THERE AND COMPLY WITH WHAT WE
ALREADY KNOW FROM OUR
INTELLIGENCE SERVICES, THEN WE
ARE REALLY MAKING PROGRESS.
THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, WE ARE
NOT MAKING THE KIND OF PROGRESS
THAT WE SHOULD BE MAKING.
DAGEN: AGAIN, WE ARE DEALING
WITH ISSUES ON ALL FRONTS AROUND
THE WORLD, WE HAVE TENSIONS WITH
IRAN GROWING, THE WAR OF WORDS
CAPS, THIS WAS YESTERDAY, TO
IRANIAN PRESIDENT, LATE SUNDAY,
TO IRANIAN PRESIDENT ROUHANI
NEVER EVER THREATEN THE UNITED
STATES OR YOU WILL SUFFER
CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH
THROUGHOUT HISTORY SUFFERED
WILL STAND FOR DEMENTED WORDS
AND VIOLENCE AND DEATH, BE
CAUTIOUS.
IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER
RESPONDING, UNIMPRESSED.
THE WORLD HEARD HARSHER BLUSTER
AND IRANIANS HAVE HEARD FOR 40
YEARS.
WE HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR MILLENIA
BE CAUTIOUS, WHAT DOES THIS SAY
TO YOU, IF YOU WERE LISTENING TO
LIE BARE OR ON SUNDAY THAT IT'S
REALLY HIS WORDS THAT ARE KIND
OF GREAT GUIDANCE OUT OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION ABOUT THE DANGER
ANALYSIS OF THE PRESIDENT'S
TWEETS, I THINK THEY ARE OUT
THERE TO INFORM THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT -- AT
THE POLICIES OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION, I MEAN, TO BE
FRANK ABOUT IT, THIS IS THE
FIRST ADMINISTRATION THAT'S
PUSHED BACK ON IRAN FROM 1980,
38 YEARS, WHETHER IT'S BEEN
REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT THERE,
THE FACT IS THAT IRAN HAS HAD A
BRILLIANT STRATEGY BY USING
PROXIES TO DO THEIR BIDDING FOR
THEM AND BY USING PROXIES IT
PARALYZED OUR DECISION MAKE TO
GO TAKE ADVERSE ACTION AGAINST
THEM AND THAT'S WHY THEY ARE IN
LEBANON WITH 130 ROCKETS,
ROCKETS AND MISSILES POINTED AT
ISRAEL, THAT'S WHY THEY NOW HAVE
SECURED MOST OF SYRIA, NOT ALL
OF IT BUT PRETTY CLOSE AND
THAT'S STRATEGIC ANCHOR IN
MIDDLE EAST.
THEY HAVE SIGNIFICANT POLITICAL
AND STARTED THE CIVIL WAR IN
YEMEN BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY MUCH
INTERESTED IN CONTROLLING THE
STRATEGIC WATER WAY SOUTHWEST TO
CANAL.
THEY HAVE BEEN MOVING FOR 38
YEARS TO DOMINATE AND CONTROL
THE MIDDLE EAST.
THIS IS THE FIRST PRESIDENT
THAT'S PUSHING BACK ON THAT AND
I THINK HE'S ALSO GOING TO
LIKELY FORM SOMETHING WE HAVE
BEEN TALKING HERE ON FOX, SORT
OF AN ARAB NATO WITH THE SUNNY
ARABS TO PUSH BACK ON THE
IRANIANS BECAUSE LAST JULY AMONG
ON THE STRATEGIC ENEMY AND MY
STRATEGIC ENEMY OF THE REGION OF
IRAN.
THIS WILL TAKE IRAN TO TEST.
THEY WILL NOT PERMIT AGGRESSIVE
AND MALIGN BEHAVIOR THAT'S BEEN
TRAMPING OVER OUR ALLIES'
INTERESTS AND THE UNITED STATES.
DAGEN: POMPEO CALLED INDIVIDUALS
IN IRAN BY NAME FOR CORRUPTION
AND HE ALSO -- HE HIGHLIGHTED
THE FACT THAT IRAN IS DIRECTING
FUNDS TO TERRORIST DICTATORS AND
PROXY MA -- MALACIAS AND GOT
PALLETS OF CASH FOR
PROXY MA -- MALACIAS AND GOT
PALLETS OF CASH FOR IN RANSON.
>> MIKE POMPEO IS A STAR IN THAT
READ TWICE BECAUSE HE'S
APPEALING TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE
