THE TENSION HAS NOT BACKED DOWN.
IF ANYTHING IT WENT HOTTER THIS
WEEKEND.
>> Sandra: THIS TWEET BY THE
IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER ZARIF
ON JOHN BOLTON IS CERTAINLY
GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION THIS
MORNING.
HE SAYS HAVING FAILED TO LURE
PRESIDENT TRUMP INTO WAR OF THE
CENTURY AND FEARING COLLAPSE OF
HIS TEAM AMBASSADOR BOLTON IS
TURNING HIS VENOM AGAINST THE
U.K. IN HOPES OF DRANK IT INTO
A QUAGMIRE.
KELLYANNE CONWAY, GOOD MORNING
TO YOU.
THE TENSIONS WITH IRAN CONTINUE
TO ESCALATE THIS MORNING.
WHAT'S THE LATEST WITH THE
PRESIDENT ON THAT?
>> HE MADE VERY CLEAR EVEN IN
HIS TWEETS THIS MORNING HOW HE
FEELS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENTS.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT IRAN'S MALIGN
BEHAVIOR CANNOT CONTINUE AND
THE PRESIDENT, SECRETARY OF
STATE AND OTHERS HAVE MADE THAT
VERY CLEAR.
IRAN HAS A HISTORY OF LYING AND
THE PRESIDENT FLATLY DENIES
THEIR CLAIMS THAT THEY
DISRUPTED A C.I.A. RING AND I
NEED TO LEAVE IT AT THAT.
WE CAN'T COMMENT FURTHER ON
INTELLIGENCE MATTERS.
>> Bill: WHAT DO YOU IN A
GENERAL SENSE MAKE OF THE
CONSTANT PROVOCATION, THE BACK
AND FORTH AS I JUST MENTIONED A
MOMENT AGO?
IT SEEMS LIKE IT GOES HIGHER BY
THE DAY AS OPPOSED TO BACKING
AWAY.
YOUR SENSE OF THAT IS WHAT?
>> LET'S BACK UP AND SEE THIS
PRESIDENT WON ON AND GOVERNED
ACCORDING TO HIS EXPLICIT
PROMISE TO PULL THIS NATION OUT
OF WHAT HE SAW AS A HORRIBLE
IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL.
THE LAST ADMINISTRATION WAS
MUCH FRIENDLIER AND
ACCOMMODATING TOWARD IRAN AND
ITS MALIGN BEHAVIOR.
FROM DAY ONE THIS PRESIDENT HAS
BEEN VERY CLEAR AND RESOLUTE IN
TAKING ACTION AND PULLING US
OUT OF THAT NUCLEAR DEAL AND
MAKING VERY CLEAR THAT WE WILL
DEFEND OUR FRIENDS IN THE
REGION MOST EXPLICITLY OUR BEST
ALLY, ISRAEL.
THAT CAN'T MAKE IRAN HAPPY THAT
WE ARE EXPORTING ENERGY AROUND
THE WORLD AND CAN'T MAKE THEM
HAPPY THEY CAN'T RELY UPON THE
CASH AND A BAD DEAL.
REALLY A DIFFERENT
ADMINISTRATION AS GOES THE
IRANIAN REGIME.
AND LET ME JUST AGAIN REPEAT I
CAN'T GO FURTHER ON
INTELLIGENCE MATTERS BUT I
POINT YOU TO THE COMMENTS OF
OUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF AND
SECRETARY POMPEO.
THEY'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
>> Sandra: WE HEARD A MIKE
POMPEO THIS MORNING.
THE PRESIDENT TWEETED AS WELL.
WANT TO MOVE ON TO THE BACK AND
FORTH WITH THE SO-CALLED SQUAD
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP.
THIS MORNING THE PRESIDENT
TWEETED QUOTE, I DON'T BELIEVE
THE FOUR CONGRESSWOMEN ARE
CAPABLE OF LOVING OUR COUNTRY.
THEY SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO
AMERICA AND ISRAEL FOR THE
HORRIBLE, HATEFUL THINGS THEY
HAVE SAID.
THEY ARE DESTROYING THE
DEMOCRAT PARTY BUT ARE WEAK AND
INSECURE PEOPLE WHO CAN NEVER
DESTROY OUR GREAT NATION.
DOES THIS BEHOOVE THE PRESIDENT
TO CONTINUE TO TAKE ON THESE
FOUR DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMEN
IN SUCH A DIRECT WAY, KELLYANNE?
>> I'VE BEEN TAKING ON THESE
CONGRESSWOMEN FOR A WHILE ON
POLICY AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO
SO.
I WAS ONE OF THE EARLIEST AND
LOUDEST VOICES CALLING OUT THE
FOUR OF THEM WERE THE ONLY FOUR
IN THE ENTIRE CONGRESS TO VOTE
AGAINST ANY TYPE OF
HUMANITARIAN AID FOR THE BORDER.
IT WAS A DISGRACE, A WRONG VOTE.
EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED FOR ONE
FORM OR THE OTHER OF THE
HUMANITARIAN AID PACKAGE.
95 ONLY DID NOT VOTE FOR THE
4.6 MILLION DOLLARS WORKING AT
THE BORDER.
I WAS THERE LAST WEEK.
IT'S WORKING AND WHY WE'VE BEEN
ABLE TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF
UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN.
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE MORE
SPACE, MANY MORE NEEDS MET AND
ACCOMMODATED FOR THE
UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN AND FAM
LAOELS THAT ARE TOGETHER.
I WITNESSED IT FIRSTHAND NEAR
McALLEN, TEXAS.
I'VE BEEN ATTACKING THEM ON
POLICY.
NOBODY FACT CHECKS THEN.
WHY IS THE ADORING MEDIA SO
AFRAID OF THESE WOMEN WHO HAVE
MADE ANTI-SEMITIC COMMENTS.
>> Sandra: BUT THE PRESIDENT --
>> THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
>> Sandra: THE PRESIDENT IS
TAKING THEM ON.
AS NANCY PELOSI SAID THESE ARE
FOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND
THE PRESIDENT CONTINUES --
>> BUT SANDRA, WE'RE ALL OLD
ENOUGH TO REMEMBER 10 DAYS AGO
WHEN THE DEMOCRATS WERE EATING
THEIR OWN.
WHEN ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ'S
CHIEF OF STAFF IN A TWEET THAT
HE HAS TAKEN DOWN LIKEENED THE
DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP TO
SEGREGATIONIST.
SHE DOUBLED DOWN BACK AT HOME
GOING AGAINST THE DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY SHOULD BE
ABOLISHED.
ALL QUARTER MILLION EMPLOYEES,
THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP US SAFE AND
SECURE INCLUDING HER, FEMA,
SECRET SERVICE, ICE, BORDER
PROTECTION.
I'M GOING TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST
THAT EVERY DAY.
LAST WEEK'S PRESS CONFERENCE
OMAR SAID -- LET ME QUOTE HER,
NOBODY FACT CHECKS THESE PEOPLE.
THEY ARE FOUR PINOCCHIOS
WALKING AROUND.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS PURSUING
AGENDA TO ALLOW MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS TO DIE FROM A LACK OF
HEALTHCARE?
WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?
NOT A SINGLE PERSON CALLED HER
OUT.
THEY'RE TOUGHER ON PRESIDENTIAL
AIDES & ASSOCIATES THAN THEY
ARE ON MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
WHOSE SWORN OATH TO THE
CONSTITUTION.
THEY WANT TO FUNDAMENTALLY
CHANGE THE WAY THIS COUNTRY IS.
GREEN NEW DEAL, SOCIALIST
ECONOMY, GET RID OF DHS AND ICE.
DON'T ALLOW SANCTUARY CITIES TO
SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT
CRIMINALS.
THIS IS NOT AMERICA.
WE CANNOT BE AN OPEN BORDERS,
ANTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT COUNTRY
THAT IS BUILT ON THE RULE OF
LAW.
SO I WILL CHALLENGE ANYBODY ON
POLICY.
THEY DENIED HUMANITARIAN AID
AND TRYING TO ABOLISH OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
>> Bill: ALEXANDRIA
OCASIO-CORTEZ ABOUT THE
ALLEGATIONS OF RACISM BACK AND
FORTH.
>> ONCE YOU START TELLING
AMERICAN CITIZENS TO QUOTE, GO
BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRIES,
THIS TELLS YOU THAT THIS
PRESIDENT'S POLICIES ARE NOT
ABOUT IMMIGRATION.
IT IS ABOUT ETHNICITY AND
RACISM.
HIS BIGGEST MISTAKE WAS THAT HE
SAID THE QUIET PART LOUD.
THAT WAS HIS BIGGEST MISTAKE
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT HE HAS
BEEN THINKING THIS THE ENTIRE
TIME.
>> Bill: WANT TO GET YOUR
REACTION ON THAT, KELLYANNE.
>> SHE IS THE ONE WHO REFERRED
TO NANCY PELOSI AS A RACIST.
SHE STARTED THAT ARGUMENT
INTERNALLY.
SOUNDS LIKE SHE WANTS TO CALL
EVERYBODY THAT WHEN SHE DOESN'T
GET HER WAY.
SHE GOT HER WAY IN DENYING THE
GREAT PEOPLE OF NEW YORK CITY
25,000 OR SO AMAZON JOBS.
SHE GOT HER WAY GETTING PEOPLE
TO BUY INTO THIS RIDICULOUS
GREEN NEW DEAL WHEN PUT TO AN
ACTUAL VOTE IN THE SENATE GOT
ZERO VOTES.
THAT'S ZERO VOTES.
YOU SAW THOSE BLIND POLLS LAST
WEEK ABOUT HER FROM DEMOCRATS
SAYING SHE IS A JOKE AND HAS NO
POWER.
THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF ALL THE
STAR POWER AND NO SUBSTANCE.
THE NOT SO BLIND QUOTES FROM
THE LIKES OF REPRESENTATIVE
MEEKS, AND WILLIAM CLAY.
RESPECTED LONG-TIME SERVING
MEMBERS AND MEMBERS OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS
PUSHING BACK AT OCASIO-CORTEZ
JUST 10 SHORT DAYS AGO FOR
SAYING THAT NANCY PELOSI WAS A
RACIST.
SHE WAS TARGETING THEM BECAUSE
THEY WERE WOMEN OF COLOR.
BY THE WAY, PEOPLE ARE SAYING
OH, PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTS THESE
FOUR TO BE THE FACE OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
YOU KNOW WHO ELSE DOES?
THOSE FOUR DO.
THEY'RE LOVING THEIR TIME IN
THE SPOTLIGHT.
AND I CAN ATTACK THEM ON POLICY
BUT THEY'VE BEEN HERE FOR SIX
MONTHS.
I CAN'T EXACTLY PULL WHAT THEY
SAID TWO YEARS AGO.
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN.
I'M ALWAYS GOING TO DEFEND THE
FLAG AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
DEFEND OUR GREAT COUNTRY AND
MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM.
THOSE PEOPLE VOTE AGAINST
EQUIPPING THE MILITARY WITH
WHAT THEY NEED, EQUIPPING
CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION.
THESE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING INTO
THE RIVER TO SAVE OTHER
PEOPLE'S KIDS FROM PERIL.
>> Sandra: THE ATTENTION IS ON
THEM TODAY.
YOUR THOUGHTS ROBERT MUELLER,
LESS THAN 48 HOURS FROM NOW.
HOW DOES THAT DAY CHANGE THINGS?
>> WELL, I WANT TO TAXPAYERS TO
SEE THE WAY THE DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESS IS SPENDING THEIR
MONEY DAY IN AND DAY OUT.
A DO OVER OF THE DO OVER OF THE
DO OVER.
MUELLER MADE CLEAR IN MAY HIS
REPORT IS HIS TESTIMONY.
I SAW THIS YESTERDAY,
DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMEN QUOTED
AS SAYING I WANT MUELLER TO
READ FROM HIS OWN REPORT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
TAXPAYERS, YOU ARE PAYING FOR
THIS NONSENSE.
THE SAME CONGRESS THAT WON'T
FIX ASYLUM, WON'T FIX THE
FLORES DECISION, WON'T FIX THE
INFRASTRUCTURE, WON'T REDUCE
DRUG PRICES AND WORK WITH US
ACROSS THE AISLE.
WON'T PUT THE USMCA TO A VOTE.
THEY ARE SPENDING YOUR MONEY.
THEY WORK FOR YOU.
THIS IS YOUR MONEY.
YOU ALREADY PAID FOR THE
MUELLER REPORT AND THE MUELLER
INVESTIGATION.
NOW THEY WANT TO DRAG MUELLER
BEFORE CONGRESS AND HAVE HIM
READ OUT LOUD.
BOOK ON TAPE.
THEY THINK YOU ARE STUPID AND
CAN'T READ THE REPORT FOR
YOURSELVES.
THEY WANT TO DRAG HIM THERE
TRYING TO GET MORE.
YESTERDAY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE TO GO ON
YOUR NETWORK TO SAY THERE IS
EVIDENCE OF HIGH CRIMES AND
MISDEMEANORS.
NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS IN THE
REPORT OR WHAT BARR SAID OR
WHAT WILL FOLLOW ON WEDNESDAY.
>> Bill: I HOPE YOU COME BACK
