NEIGHBORHOOD, 48th,
6th, AVENUE.
STOP BUY HE MAKES YOU A BURGER.
BRIAN: SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM
JOINS FROM US CLEMSON.
MEMBER OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE, FOREIGN RELATIONS
COMMITTEE.
IN TERMS OF FOREIGN POLICY,
ONE-STOP SHOPPING EVERYTHING
THATyTJjT
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
COMES BACK FROM THE G7.
SOME NEWS CAME OUT OF IT.
PRESIDENT OF IRAN, ROUHANI,
SAID, QUOTE, IF I POSSIBLY
MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT, SAID
IN TELEVISED SPEECH, IF I KNEW
THERE WOULD BE A MEETING,
VISITING A PERSON WOULD HELP MY
COUNT VERY'S DEVELOPMENT SOLVE
PROBLEMS OF THE PEOPLE, I WOULD
NOT MISS IT.
THAT IS MAJOR DIFFERENCE I WILL
NEVER MEET WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP
HE SAID A MONTH AGO.
DO YOU BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT
SHOULD FOLLOW THROUGH WHAT
MACRON IS TRYING TO BROKER THAT
IS A MEETING WITH ROUHANI OF
IRAN?
>> I REALLY DON'T CARE IF THEY
MEET.
I APPRECIATE WHAT PRESIDENT
TRUMP HAS DONE TO CRUSH THE
IRANIAN ECONOMY.
THEY ARE TRYING TO BUILD A
NUCLEAR WEAPON, DISMEMBER THE
MID-EAST.
THE QUESTION IS, WHAT WILL THEY
TALK ABOUT?
THERE IS NO GOOD DEAL THAT WILL
ALLOW IRAN TO ENRICH, PROCESSING
URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM.
THAT IS HOW AWE MAKE A BOMB.
THE ONLY GOOD DEAL IS HAVE THEIR
NUCLEAR PROGRAM.
THEY GET THEIR FUEL FROM OTHER
SOURCES.
THAT IS HOW YOU MAKE A BOMB.
AINSLEY: WHAT REACTION TO THE
STATES, THERE ARE 19 STATES,
D.C. SUING THE ADMINISTRATION
BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT WANTS TOç
END THE FLORES AGREEMENT.
HE WANT CHILDREN TO STAY WITH
THEIR FAMILIES IN THE DETENTION
CENTER UNTIL THEY FACE THE JUDGE
WHICH COULD TAKE 40 TO 60 DAYS?
>> THESE STATES ARE SUPPORTING
THE MAGNETS OF ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
THE REASON WE'RE BEING OVERRUN
IS TWO REASONS.
IF YOU COME HERE AND CLAIM
ASYLUM YOUR HEAR SOMETHING THREE
YEARS AWAY, YOU NEVER SHOW UP.
WE DON'T HOLD PEOPLE FOR THREE
YEARS.
ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS ASK FOR
ASYLUM.
IF YOU BRING A MINOR CHILD, WE
CAN ONLY HOLD THE CHILD 20 DAYS.
TURN THE CHILD TO HHS.
SINCE YOU DON'T WANT TO SEPARATE
FAMILIES, WE LET ENTIRE FAMILY
GO.
THEY CONTINUE A BAD PRACTICE.
SHAME ON STATES AND DISTRICT OF
COLUMBIA.
CONGRESS SHOULD CHANGE THE LAW
TO HOLD MINOR CHILDREN AND
FAMILIES LONG ENOUGH TO PROCESS
THE CLAIMS SO YOU DENT LET THEM
OUT INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE
COUNTRY.
STEVE: EXPLAIN TO US, SENATOR,
WE'VE BEEN CHEWING ON THIS A
WHILE, WHY HAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT
ISSUE BECOME SO POLITICAL?
DEMOCRATS DO NOT WANT --
>> THEY HATE TRUMP.
THEY HATE TRUMP.
STEVE: WE GET THAT.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THIS IS A
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AT OUR
SOUTHERN BORDER.
IT WOULD SEEM THAT YOU KNOW --
>> THEY HATE TRUMP.ç
>> I KNOW THEY HATE TRUMP.
I KNOW, WE SEND YOU PEOPLE TO
WASHINGTON TO FIX STUFF AND
YOU'RE NOT FIXING IT?
>> SEND PEOPLE TO WASHINGTON WHO
DON'T HATE TRUMP.
I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON
IMMIGRATION FOR 10 YEARS.
I'M WILLING TO DEAL WITH DACA
POPULATION.
GIVE THEM A PLACE TO STAY IN
COUNTRY.
PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP.
I'M WILLING TO SPEND MONEY IN
CENTRAL AMERICA TO MAKE LIFE
BETTER.
I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING I KNOW TO
DO, TURN BLUE IN THE FACE, CAN'T
GET ONE DEMOCRAT TO AGREE WITH
ME YOU SHOULD APPLY FOR ASYLUM
IN CENTRAL AMERICA, MEXICO, NOT
THE UNITED STATES, BECAUSE WE
DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO
DEAL WITH ASYLUM CLAIMS.
MOST OF THEM ARE FRAUDULENT.
I CAN'T GET ONE DEMOCRAT TO
AGREE TO ALLOW CHILDREN HELD
WITH THEIR FAMILIES HUMANELY,
40, 50, 100 DAYS TO PROCESS
CLAIMS.
THEY LITERALLY WANT THEM
RELEASED IN THE UNITED STATES.
THEY CONTINUE PRACTICE OF ASYLUM
APPLIED FOR IN THE UNITED
STATES.
IT HAS NEVER ENDING TRAIL.
THE TRAIL TO GET HERE IS
TERRIBLE FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
THEY WILL NOT WORK WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I AM DUMFOUNDED WHY WE CAN'T
FIND COMPROMISE.
BRIAN: YOU HAD A GREAT
COMPROMISE BILL GOT OUT OF
COMMITTEE.
THE CHANCE OF 60ç VOTES IN THE
SENATE, IN THE HOUSE AS WELL.
PIVOT TO AFGHANISTAN.
SEPTEMBER 1st LOOKS AS
THOUGH THE NINTH ROUND OF TALKS
IS SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE A PEACE
AGREEMENT WITH AFGHANISTAN, VERY
SOON ALL THE TROOPS COME OUT.
THE TALIBAN HAVE HALF THE
COUNTRY.
THEY'RE WORKING ON A DEAL WITH
THE TALIBAN I GUESS TO GIVE IT
ALL BACK.
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST CONCERN?
MANY PEOPLE LISTENING SAID I'M
DONE WITH THAT WAR.
WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR 19
YEARS.
WHAT DOES LINDSEY GRAHAM SAY IS
AT STAKE?
>> RIGHT.
WELL, NUMBER OF ONE, YOU MAY BE
TIRED OF FIGHTING RADICAL ISLAM,
THEY ARE NOT TIRED OF FIGHTING
YOU.
YOU MIGHT GET A PEACE DEAL WITH
THE TALIBAN.
THE PRESIDENT PUT A HURTING OF
THE TALIBAN.
THEY HAVE 30% OF THE COUNTRY.
20% OF THE PUBLIC AGREES WITH
THEM IN AFGHANISTAN.
80% DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO
THE GOOD OL' DAYS OF TALIBAN
WHERE YOU KILL WOMEN IN SOCCER
STADIUMS FOR SPORT AND YOUNG
WOMEN CANNOT EVER GO TO SCHOOL.
YOU MIGHT END THE WAR WITH
TALIBAN.
AL QAEDA IS ALIVE AND WELL IN
AFGHANISTAN.
ISIS IS STRONGER TODAY THAN THEY
EVER HAVE BEEN IN AFGHANISTAN.
THEY WILL HIT US IF WE LEAVE.
I'M TELLING THE PRESIDENT, I
APPLAUD YOU FOR TRYING TO LOWER
THE COST.
YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB HURTING
TALIBAN.
YOU CAN'T TRUST THE TALIBAN TO
TAKE CARE OF ISIS AND AL QAEDA.
THERE ISç NO SUBSTITUTE FOR
AMERICAN FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN
TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN HOMELAND
FROM RADICAL ISLAM.
THERE WILL BE ANOTHER 9/11 IF WE
PULL THE PLUG.
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, ASK THE
GENERALS IN THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY.
>> HOW MANY, HOW LONG?
HOW MANY TROOPS, HOW LONG SHOULD
THEY STAY?
>> UNDER 10,000.
THAT IS GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT BY
PRESIDENT TRUMP, UNTIL THE
THREAT IS ALLEVIATED.
UNTIL AL QAEDA AND ISIS NO
LONGER CAN ENJOY SAFE HAVEN,
UNTIL THEIR NUMBERS ARE
DIMINISHED THEY CAN'T HER US.
OUR SECURITY IS NOT BASED ON THE
DAY WE LEAVE, BUT WHAT WE LEAVE
BEHIND.
WE STILL HAVE TROOPS IN KOREA.
WE STILL HAVE TROOPS IN JAPAN,
GERMANY.
WE LOST TWO AMERICAN SOLDIERS A
COUPLE DAYS AGO.
THEY WERE DEFENDING AMERICA FROM
AL QAEDA AND ISIS.
AL QAEDA AND ISIS ARE NOT
INTERESTED IN PEACE.
THEY ARE INTERESTED IN PURIFYING
ISLAM, DESTROYING ALL THE JEWS
THEY CAN, DESTROYING ISRAEL AND
COMING AFTER US.
IF YOU DON'T GET THAT AFTER THE
LAST 18 YEARS, YOU'RE NOT
WATCHING WHAT IS GOING ON IN
AFGHANISTAN AND THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD.
SO THE GOOD NEWS IS, WE CAN
PROTECT THE AMERICAN HOMELAND
FOR LESS THAN 10,000 TROOPS WITH
INTEL CAPABILITY.
IF WE PULL THE PLUG AND TURN
AFGHANISTAN OVER TO THE TALIBAN
AND OTHER ELEMENT, THEY'RE
COMING BACK HERE AGAIN AND THAT
WOULD BE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE ANY
PRESIDENT WOULD MAKE.
BRIAN: ARE WE ABOUT TO,ç SENATO,
ARE WE ABOUT TO DO THAT, DO YOU
THINK?
>> I DON'T THINK SO.
I HAVE TALKED TO PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
HE UNDERSTANDS THE NEED FOR A
COUNTERTERRORISM FORCE TO WATCH
AL QAEDA AND ISIS WHO WILL NEVER
BE PART OF A PEACE DEAL.
HE UNDERSTANDS THE INTELLIGENCE
GATHERING CAPABILITY WE HAVE IN
AFGHANISTAN, NOT ONLY PROTECTS
US, PROTECTS THE WHOLE REGION.
HE IS ABOUT TO START A NEW
RELATIONSHIP WITH PAKISTAN WHERE
PAKISTAN WILL DENY SAFE HAVEN TO
THE TALIBAN.
I LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FOREIGN
POLICY HE IS FRUSTRATED ABOUT
THE WAR BUT 18 YEARS AGO THE
TALIBAN RULED AFGHANISTAN
BRUTALLY.
HOW MANY COUNTRIES CAN BE FORMED
IN 18 YEARS?
SIX MILLION GIRLS ARE IN SCHOOL
TODAY.
THERE IS A LOT OF ACTIVITY,
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN
AFGHANISTAN.
THEY'RE TRADING WITH THE WORLD,
INCLUDING US.
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF
PROGRESS.
IT HAS COME AT A HEAVY PRICE.
THE ONE THING ABOUT THE WAR IN
AFGHANISTAN, IF YOU TAKE YOUR
EYE OFF THE BALL IT WILL COME
HERE.
THIS IS WHERE THE 9/11 PLOTS
WERE HATCHED AND PLANNED.
WHEN THE TALIBAN TOOK OVER,
INVITED AL QAEDA TO BE THEIR
HONORED GUESTS.
THAT IS HOW 9/11 STARTED.
THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN IF WE
LEAVE BUT THE GOOD NEWS WE CAN
KEEP A SMALL FORCE THERE AND BE
SAFE.
AINSLEY: SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEINGç WITH
