WAR, THE WAR OF 1812.
ED: THE PRESIDENT SCRAPPING
PLANS TO HOST THE G7 SUMMIT AT
HIS RESORT IN FLORIDA.
DEMOCRAT-CRAZED AND IRRATIONAL
HOSTILITY, WE WILL NO LONGER
CONSIDER TRUMP NATIONAL DORAL
MIAMI AS THE HOST SITE FOR THE
G7 IN 2020, WE WILL BEGIN THE
SEARCH FOR ANOTHER SITE
IMMEDIATELY.
JEDEDIAH: DEMOCRATS WERE IN AN
UPROAR OVER THE PROPOSAL
INCLUDING THREE WHO FILED
LEGISLATION TO BLOCK IT FROM
HAPPENING.
GRIFF: HERE TO WEIGH IN IS FOX
NEWS CONTRIBUTOR GOVERNOR MIKE
HUCKABEE.
GOVERNOR, GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
>> AND GOOD MORNING TO ALL OF
YOU GUYS.
HAPPY TO BE WITH YOU.
GRIFF: DID THE MEDIA, THE
DEMOCRATS GO TOO FAR IN THEIR
CRITICISM OVER DORAL?
>> THEY ALWAYS DO.
AND THEY WENT BERSERK OVER THIS.
I THINK THE PRESIDENT MADE THE
RIGHT MOVE TO SAY WE'RE NOT
GOING TO GO THERE.
IT'S JUST SOMETHING HE DOESN'T
NEED TO ADD TO THE PLATE.
HIS PLATE'S OVERWHELMED WITH
THINGS THAT HE'S BEING
CRITICIZED FOR.
THERE WASN'T ANYTHING ILLEGAL
ABOUT IT, BUT IT JUST WAS A
CONTROVERSY, IT'S AN UNFORCED
ERROR.
IT DOESN'T NEED TO HAPPEN.
THERE'S LOTS OF PLACES TO GO.
AS HE SAID IN THE TWEET, IT
MIGHT BE CAMP DAVID.
I HOPE IT'S SOMEPLACE SO REMOTE,
THE REPORTERS AREN'T ABLE TO GET
THIS.
[LAUGHTER]
JEDEDIAH: GOVERNOR, LET'S TAKE A
LISTEN TO THE MEDIA BLASTING THE
PLAN AND GET YOUR REACTION.
>> FUNNELING AMERICAN TAXPAYER
DOLLARS TO HIS PRIVATE FAMILY
BUSINESS WASN'T ENOUGH, SO NOW
MR. TRUMP IS PUTTING THE SQUEEZE
ON FOREIGN GOVERNMENT.
>> A MAJOR PROMOTION FOR THE
PRESIDENT'S BRAND FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE PODIUM.
>> UNPRECEDENTED USE OF THE
PRESIDENCY TO PUT REVENUE INTO A
PRESIDENT'S POCKETS.
>> IT'S THE MOST CORRUPT PLAN
YOU CAN IMAGINE.
>> THE PRESIDENT PROFITING BY
HOLDING AN INTERNATIONAL
SUMMIT --
JEDEDIAH: VERY MILD REACTION BY
THE MEDIA.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
[LAUGHTER]
>> WELL, WHAT YOU JUST PLAYED
THERE IS THE REASON THAT MOST OF
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE ZERO
TRUST, ZERO CONFIDENCE IN MOST
OF THE MEDIA TODAY.
IT'S DISGUSTING.
AND FOR THEM TO TRY TO MAKE IT
THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS EVEN
CONSIDERING DORAL BECAUSE HE WAS
GOING TO FEATHER HIS OPEN NEST,
MY GOSH, THE MAN GIVES AWAY
EVERY SINGLE PENNY OF HIS ENTIRE
PRESIDENTIAL SALARY.
HE'S A BILLIONAIRE.
HE DOESN'T NEED THE REVENUE FROM
A G7 CONFERENCE TO BE ABLE TO
PAY HIS ELECTRIC BILL NEXT
MONTH.
[LAUGHTER]
THIS IS ABSURD.
ED: GOVERNOR, REAL QUICK, WHEN
YOU TALK ABOUT TRUST IN MEDIA,
HOW MUCH TRUST SHOULD WE HAVE IN
THE ACTING CHIEF OF STAFF AT THE
WHITE HOUSE WHEN HE STOOD AT
THAT PODIUM SAYING WE'RE GOING
TO DO THIS, AND ABOUT 24 HOURS
LATER THE PRESIDENT SAYS NEVER
MIND?
>> THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS, YOU
KNOW?
YOU THROW SOMETHING OUT THERE
AND IT DOESN'T REALLY GO OVER
WELL, YOU LOOK AND YOU SAY, YOU
KNOW, THIS ISN'T WORTH THE
FIGHT.
THE PRESIDENT IS A FIGHTER.
HE FIGHTS THE RIGHT FIGHTS.
OF SOMETIMES YOU JUST SAY THIS
FIGHT ISN'T WORTH THE TROUBLE,
LET ME USE MY ENERGY TO FIGHT
SOMETHING THAT MATTERS TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
SO NOW THE PRESS WILL HAVE TO
FIND SOMETHING ELSE AND, TRUST
ME, THEY WILL.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THIS
PRESIDENT DOES, THEY'RE GOING TO
FIND SOMETHING THEY DON'T LIKE
ABOUT IT.
BUT THIS IS ONE THAT KIND OF
COMES BACK ON THEM AS A LITTLE
BIT, AS POPEYE WOULD SAY,
EMBARRASSING.
[LAUGHTER]
GRIFF: GOVERNOR, LET ME TAKE YOU
TO A DIFFERENT STORY, THAT IS
FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE
HILLARY CLINTON SUGGESTING THAT
ONE OF THE 2020 DEMOCRATS
RUNNING FOR OFFICE, TULSI
GABBARD, IS A POSSIBLE RUSSIAN
ASSET?
LISTEN TO THIS, I WANT YOUR
REACTION.
>> I THINK THEY'VE GOT THEIR EYE
ON SOMEBODY WHO'S CURRENTLY IN
THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY AND ARE
GROOMING HER TO BE THE THIRD
PARTY CANDIDATE.
SHE'S A FAVORITE OF THE
RUSSIANS.
THEY HAVE A BUNCH OF SITES AND
BOTS AND OTHER WAYS OF
SUPPORTING HER SO FAR.
AND THAT'S ASSUMING JILL STEIN
WILL GIVE IT UP, WHICH SHE MIGHT
NOT, BECAUSE SHE'S ALSO A
RUSSIAN ASSET.
GRIFF: GOVERNOR?
[LAUGHTER]
>> FIRST OF ALL, IF ANYBODY
WOULD KNOW WHAT THE RUSSIANS'
INTENTIONS WERE, I HAVE TO SAY
HILLARY MIGHT KNOW.
HER HUSBAND GOT PAID HALF A
MILLION BUCKS TO MAKE ONE 30
MINUTE SPEECH.
HER FOUNDATION GOT MILLIONS AND
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE
RUSSIANS.
SHE'S THE ONE WHO WENT OVER
THERE AND SAID WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE THE RESET BUTTON AND HAD --
I'VE GOT A LOT OF RESPECT FOR
TULSI GABBARD.
SHE'S HAD SOME COURAGE TO GO OUT
ON THAT STAGE AND SAY THINGS
THAT NOBODY ELSE HAD THE GUTS TO
SAY.
SHE'S MEASURED, SHE'S VERY FIRM.
SHE TOOK DOWN CAM THAT LISTER IN
THE -- KAMALA HARRIS IN THE
FIRST DEBATE.
YOU KNOW, IN THAT FIELD YOU'VE
GOT BERNIE YELLING AND
SCREAMING, ELIZABETH WARREN
SHAKING YOUR FINGER, AND YOU'VE
GOT BETO WHO'S WAVING HIS ARMS
LIKE AN INFLATABLE AT THE CAR
WASH, AND NOW YOU'VE GOT TULSI
GABBARD WHO'S, FRANKLY, A VERY
SLOW, DELIBERATE, METICULOUS AND
METHODICAL BURN.
I THINK SHE'S AN INCREDIBLE
CANDIDATE, MUCH BETTER THAN SHE
GETS CREDIT FOR.
I DON'T AGREE WITH HER ON A LOT
OF ISSUES, BUT SOME THINGS I DO,
AND I RESPECT HER.
I GENUINELY RESPECT HER.
AND I THINK SHE'S A FORCE TO BE
RECKONEDDED WITH IN THE
