CONWAY.
CHARLES PAYNE IS HERE WITH
"MAKING MONEY."
CHARLES: TONIGHT WE BEGIN WITH
THE MAJOR CONFRONTATION OR THE
IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL.
THE IRANIAN PRESIDENT ROUHANI
THREATENING THE UNITED STATES TO
STAY IN THE DEAL OR FACE
CONSEQUENCES.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: IF IRAN
THREATENS US IN ANY WAY, THEY
WILL PAY A PRICE LIKE FEW
COUNTRIES HAVE EVER PAID.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE
RESTARTING ANYTHING.
IF THEY RESTART THEIR NUCLEAR
PROGRAM THEY WILL HAVE BIGGER
PROBLEMS THAN THEY HAVE EVER HAD
BEFORE.
CHARLES: THIS COINCIDING WITH
THE FRENCH PRESIDENT MACRON'S
STATE VISIT TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
THE PRESIDENT'S POSITION IS
CLEAR.
SO WILL IRAN DO THE RIGHT THING?
REPRESENTATIVE BIGGS, THANKS FOR
JOINING US.
PRESIDENT TRUMP TALKING TOUGH.
YESTERDAY THE IRANIAN LEADER
SAYING THERE WILL BE SEVERE
CONSEQUENCES.
ONE PART OF THAT SAYS HE KNOWS
OR BELIEVES THIS IS AN AMAZING
DEAL THE IRANIANS GOT.
FOLKS TRYING TO TALK PRESIDENT
TRUMP INTO STAYING IN THIS.
>> IRAN REALLY BELIEVES THEY GOT
A GOOD DEAL OUT OF THIS.
IRAN IS NOT THREATENING US
DIRECTLY IN OUR HOMELAND.
BUT THEY ARE ENGAGED IN PROXY
ACROSS TIFS IN THE REGION AND --
PROXY ACTIVITIES ACROSS THE
REGION.
ALSO THE DEAL WAS NOT GOOD TO
BEGIN WITH FOR THE UNITED
STATES.
HE'S TRYING TO LEVERAGE AND MAKE
A POINT.
MAYBE THERE WILL BE A NEW DEAL.
BUT IF IT IS, IT WILL BE A DEAL
THAT WORKS FOR THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA AND NOT IRAN.
CHARLES: FRANCE'S PRESIDENT
MACRON SAID THERE WAS NO PLAN B.
IS THERE ROOM OR ARE THEIR
OPPORTUNITIES TO AMENDED THE
DEAL?
>> I'M ALWAYS LEERY WHEN FOLKS
SAY THERE IS NO ROOM FOR A DEAL.
THE IRANIANS ARE RESPONDING BACK
WITH BELLICOSITY.
I THINK THERE IS A PLACE TO GO.
I'M ALWAYS BAFFLED WHEN PEOPLE
SAY THIS IS THE ONLY DEAL AND
ANY DEAL IS BETTER THAN NO DEAL.
IF YOU NEGOTIATE LIKE THAT IT'S
FROM A POSITION OF WEAKNESS AND
YOU WILL BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE
EVERYTHING EVERY TIME.
CHARLES: THE PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATION ALSO OVERLOOKED A
LOT OF REALITIES GOING ON IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
OF COURSE, THEIR BRIDGE RANS
WOULD SEEM TO -- BELLIGERENCE
WOULD SEEM TO GET EMBOLDENED IT
WAS SO OBVIOUS THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION SWANTD DEAL THAT
IRAN PUSHED THE DEAL BEFORE
SIGNING ON THE DOTTED LINE.
IF WE WALK AWAY FROM THE DEAL,
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE
STABILITY OF THE REGION.
IT WOULD GET WORSE OR BETTER?
>> IT COULD POTENTIALLY GET
BETTER.
IT WOULD REQUIRE OTHER REGIONAL
STATES TO STEP UP AND BALANCE
AGAINST THE IRANIANS WHICH WE
HAVEN'T HAD SINCE THE IRAQIS HAD
THEIR PROBLEM WITH SADDAM
HUSSEIN.
THE PROBLEM IS IRAN IS TAKING A
VACUUM IN THE REGION AND THEY
ARE EXPANDING.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU
DON'T BALANCE THE POWER OUT.
WHEN YOU CREATE THE DEAL WE DID,
YOU GAVE FUEL TO THE FIRE FOR
THE IRANIANS.
IT'S TIME TO PULL BACK AND
REASSESS.
AND IT'S TIME TO MOVE FORWARD.
HE'S READY AND PREPARED TO MOVE
FORWARD FOR THE UNITED STATES.
CHARLES: LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT
THIS SPECIAL ELECTION.
DEMOCRATS SORT OF HOPING PERHAPS
THAT SOMEHOW THEY WILL PULL THIS
OFF OR FIND A MORAL VICTORY.
WHAT'S YOUR ASSESSMENT ON WHAT
THE OUTCOME IS GOING TO BE.
>> I THINK THE DEMOCRATS IF THEY
GET WITHIN 10 POINTS THEY WILL
VIEW IT AS A MORAL VICTORY.
I THINK IT WILL BE 10-11 POINTS
FOR DEBBIE.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS A BLUE
WAVE THERE.
IF REPUBLICANS RUN ON THE TRUMP
AGENDA AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
AGENDA WE WIN EVERY TIME.
CHARLES: YOU'LL BE TALKING ABOUT
