>> Shannon: COUNTING DOWN TO
2020, CAMPAIGNS ARE OUTRAGED AND
A GRAPHIC VIDEO SHOWING A FAKE
LIKENESS OF THE PRESIDENT
SHOOTING AND STABBING OPPONENTS
AND MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA.
PLAYED IN ONE OF SEVERAL ROOMS
DURING A CONFERENCE IN TRUMP
SUPPORTER'S AT ONE OF THE
PRESIDENTS RESORTS NEAR MIAMI.
ORGANIZERS SAY THEY NEVER
APPROVED IT, THEY NEVER SAW IT
OR SANCTIONED IT IN ANY WAY AND
NOTED THAT THEY HOSTED A PANEL
OF THE EVENT SPECIFICALLY
CONDEMNING POETICAL VIOLENCE.
ALSO TO MAKE OR BERNIE SANDERS
IS CALLING OUT ELIZABETH WARREN.
PETER DOOCY HAS ALL THE NEWS
FROM THE SITE OF TOMORROW
NIGHT'S DEMOCRATIC DEBATE.
>> THE PRO-TRUMP GROUP AMERICAN
PRIORITIES' WE CAN CONFERENCE
INCLUDED A CLIP EDITED TO SHOW
PRESIDENT TRUMP BRUTALLY
MURDERING MEDIA CRITICS, LEAVING
THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS
ASSOCIATION TO SAY THAT W HCA IS
HORRIFIED AND PRESS SECRETARY
STEPHANIE GRISHAM TO TWEET ABOUT
THE PRESIDENT BASED UPON
EVERYTHING HE HAS HEARD, HE
STRONGLY CONDEMNS THIS VIDEO.
AT LEAST ONE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
JUST DEALT WITH AN OFFENSIVE
VIDEO OF THEIR OWN, OR
BERNIE SANDERS STAFFER RESIGNED
TODAY FOR PREVIOUSLY PRODUCING
MARTIN FOR KING JR.'S "I HAVE A
DREAM" SPEECH EDITED TO SOUND
SEXUALLY AND RACIAL
INAPPROPRIATE.
HE SET FOR HIS FIRST HEART
ATTACK OR HE MAY DRAW A LINE
BETWEEN HIMSELF AND
ELIZABETH WARREN.
>> ELIZABETH CONSIDERS HERSELF,
IF I GOT THE VOTE CORRECTLY, TO
BE A CAPITALIST TO HER BONES, I
DON'T.
>> BUT ISSUES LIKE THAT COULD
TAKE A BACKSEAT TO IMPEACHMENT.
>> I MAY BE THE LAST GUY THAT
PUBLICLY CALLED FOR IMPEACHMENT,
BUT I'M THE ONLY REASON THERE IS
IMPEACHMENT.
>> BUT THAT MAY NOT BE HELPING
HIM.
BY HIS FAVORABILITY RATING AND
NEW QUINNIPIAC POLL IS HIGHER
THAN SANDERS OR WARREN, BUT IT'S
HIS LOWEST IN FIVE YEARS AND IF
THE FORMER VP CANNOT RIGHT THE
SHIP, CNBC REPORTS TONIGHT
MICHAEL BLOOMBERG MIGHT
RECONSIDER HIS DECISION TO STAY
OUT OF THE RACE AND RUN AS A
DEMOCRAT.
IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, PETER DOOCY,
FOX NEWS.
>> Shannon: PLENTY OF
CRITICISM SIGNED OVER THAT.
A VIDEO SHOWING A LIKENESS OF
THE PRESIDENT KILLING MEMBERS OF
THE MEDIA AND POLITICAL
OPPONENTS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP STRONGLY
CONDEMNING IT, BUT WILL THAT BE
ENOUGH FOR CRITICS WHO CLAIM THE
PRESIDENT ENCOURAGES
INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR?
LET'S BRING IN FROM 2020
CAMPAIGN SENIOR ADVISOR, THE
PRESIDENT OF AUSTRIA'S
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AS WELL, LARGE
TRUMP, FOR HER RESPONSE.
GREAT AT IT WITH US TONIGHT.
>> THANK YOU, SHANNON.
GLAD TO BE BACK ON WITH YOU AND
I WILL GIVE YOU A VERY EASY
RESPONSE TO THAT VIDEO, THAT
VIDEO WAS DISGUSTING AND THE
PRESIDENT OBVIOUSLY SAYS THAT IT
WAS DISGUSTING, CONDEMNS IT FROM
THE CAMPAIGN PERSPECTIVE, WE
COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
NEVER IS THERE A SPACE FOR
ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN ANYWHERE
AND REALLY AS REPUBLICANS, WE
SHOULD BE BETTER THAN THIS.
THIS WAS NOT A CAMPAIGN EVENT BY
ANY STRETCH, SO IT'S SAD TO SEE
SOMEBODY PUT THAT TOGETHER, BUT
OBVIOUSLY NONE OF US AGREE WITH
IT AND WE HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN
THAT.
>> Shannon: OKAY, LET'S MOVE
ONTO ANOTHER TOPIC THAT'S
GETTING A LOT OF HEADLINES
TONIGHT, WHICH IS SYRIA,
OBVIOUSLY.
THE PRESIDENTS IN A ANNOUNCING
VERY HEAVY SANCTIONS ON A NUMBER
OF PEOPLE, FORMER AND CURRENT
POLITICIAN OFFICIALS THERE IN
TURKEY.
THIS IS WHAT
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" SAYS ABOUT
THIS UNDER THE HEADLINE "TRUMP
FOLLOWED HIS GOT ON SYRIA,
CALAMITY CAN PASS."
PRESIDENT TRAN'S ACQUIESCENCE TO
TURKEYS MOVE TO TENDER TROOPS
DEEP INSIDE SYRIAN TERRITORY AS
IN ONLY ONE WEEK'S TIME DURING F
IN ONLY ONE WEEK'S TIME DURING L
IN ONLY ONE WEEK'S TIME DURING O
IN ONLY ONE WEEK'S TIME DURING E
IN ONLY ONE WEEK'S TIME DURING D
IN ONLY ONE WEEK'S TIME DURING C
IN ONLY ONE WEEK'S TIME DURING R
IN ONLY ONE WEEK'S TIME DURING A
IN ONLY ONE WEEK'S TIME DURING E
IN ONLY ONE WEEK'S TIME DURING ,
FIRST THE ABANDONMENT OF A
SUCCESSFUL FIVE YEAR LONG
AMERICAN PROJECT TO KEEP THE
PEACE ON A VOLATILE BORDER AND
GIVEN AN UNANTICIPATED VICTORY
TO FOUR AMERICAN ADVERSARIES,
RUSSIA, IRAN, THE SYRIAN
GOVERNMENT IN THE ISLAMIC
STATES.
YOUR RESPONSE TONIGHT?
>> WELL, SHANNON, I THINK WE
SHOULD START WITH THE FACT THAT
IF YOU ASK THE AVERAGE AMERICAN
OUT THERE, I THINK IT WOULD HAVE
TO GOOGLE WHO ARE THE KURDS AND
WHY IS AMERICA EVEN OVER THERE
FIGHTING THIS WAR?
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE FOR
30 DAYS, WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR
TEN YEARS AND WHEN THE PRESIDENT
CAMPAIGNED IN 2016, HE WAS VERY
CLEAR THAT HE WANTED TO STOP ALL
OF THESE ENDLESS WARS, THAT HE
WANTED TO BRING OUR TROOPS BACK
HOME BECAUSE THESE REALLY ARE
ENDLESS WARS AND WHO KNOWS HOW
THIS WILL ALL SHAKE OUT TO HE'S
DOING JUST THAT.
IF YOU SAW HIM AT THE RALLY IN
MINNEAPOLIS THE OTHER NIGHT, YOU
SAW HIM TELL A STORY ABOUT THE
HARDEST PART OF HIS JOB, AND
IT'S WHEN OUR BRAVE MEN AND
WOMEN ARE COMING BACK HOME IN
CASKETS AND HE HAS TO BE THERE
TO COMFORT THEIR FAMILIES, HE
NEVER WANTS TO SEE THAT HAPPEN
AND IT CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE
HAPPENING IN A SPACE WHERE,
QUITE FRANKLY, WE DON'T EVEN
BELONG AS AMERICANS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN
UNDERSTAND WHY WE WERE THERE.
HE WANTS TO BRING OUR TROOPS
BACK HOME AND PUT OUR ASSETS
TOWARDS THINGS THAT ACTUALLY DO
HELP AMERICANS DIRECTLY, LIKE
SECURING OUR SOUTHERN BORDER.
AS COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, HIS FIRST
PRIORITY IS ALWAYS TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE AND I THINK
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO REMEMBER
WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS ENTIRE
SITUATION THERE.
>> Shannon: CERTAINLY ONE OF
THE THINGS HE HAS CELEBRATED IN
HIS FIRST TERM IS BEEN THE
DEFEAT OF ISIS, BUT WE ALL KNOW
THAT THE KURDS WERE CRITICAL TO
THAT OPERATION AND SO THE
QUESTIONS ARISE TONIGHT, NOT
ONLY ABOUT THE KURDS, WHO WERE
LEFT BEHIND, MANY OF THEM SAYING
HAVE NO DEFENSES, THAT THEY ARE
BEING SLAUGHTERED AFTER
PARTNERING WITH THE U.S., THERE
ARE WORRIES THAT OTHER POTENTIAL
ALLIES IN THE FUTURE, WHETHER WE
MEAN THAT LOOSELY OR MORE
FORMALLY, WILL BE HESITANT TO
PARTNER WITH THE U.S. BECAUSE OF
WHAT THEY SEE NOW HAPPENING TO
THE KURDS.
>> I THINK THE PRESIDENT HAS
ALWAYS BEEN VERY DIRECT ABOUT
THIS.
IF HE SAID FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING THAT HE WANTED TO PULL
OUT OF SYRIA.
HE'S ALMOST THREE YEARS INTO HIS
PRESIDENCY AND HE'S DOING IT
NOW, SO IT SHOULDN'T BE A
SURPRISE AND I DON'T THINK THAT
PEOPLE SHOULD BE HESITANT TO
PARTNER WITH THE UNITED STATES
IN ANY WAY AS A RESULT OF THIS.
I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT.
>> Shannon: I KNOW THAT SO
MUCH OF THE WORK THAT YOU DO FOR
THE CAMPAIGN, SPECIFICALLY
EVENTS FOCUSED ON WOMEN, SO I
WANT TO TALK ABOUT NEW
IMPEACHMENT PULLING OUT FROM
QUINNIPIAC.
THEY GO THROUGH ALL KINDS OF
SUBSETS OF PEOPLE, BUT THEY GO
BY GENDER TOO AND WHEN THEY TALK
ABOUT, DO YOU THINK THAT THIS
PRESIDENT SHOULD BE IMPEACHED OR
REMOVED, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING
TO SEE.
THIS IS THE OVERALL NUMBER, A
HIGHER NUMBER SAY NO THEN YES,
BUT WHEN YOU BREAK IT DOWN BY
GENDER, THE MEN AND WOMEN ARE
ALMOST A FLIP.
A MIRROR IMAGE, DIRECT OPPOSITE
IMAGE OF EACH OTHER WHEN YOU SIT
IN A MUCH GREATER PERCENTAGE OF
WOMEN THINK IT'S TIME TO IMPEACH
OR REMOVE THIS PRESIDENT, HOW DO
YOU GO MAKE THE CASE TO THEM
THAT THEY -- IN A WAY THAT YOU
HOPE WILL CHANGE THEIR MIND?
>> I THINK WE HAVE TO
REMEMBER -- WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE
THIS, SHANNON, FOR WHAT IT IS.
THIS IS WITCH HUNT NUMBER TWO
THAT WE HAVE SEEN AFTER THIS
PRESIDENT.
THE FIRST ONE WAS THE RUSSIA
COLLUSION HOAX, WHICH WE WASTED
TWO YEARS AND 30 MILLION
TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO FIND OUT
THAT THERE WAS NO COLLUSION AND
NO OBSTRUCTION WITH RUSSIA ON
BEHALF OF THE PRESIDENT OR THE
CAMPAIGN AND NOW HERE WE ARE AT
ROUND TWO, THE DEMOCRATS PUTTING
IN THEIR LAST DITCH EFFORT HERE
TO TRY AND GET DONALD TRUMP OUT
OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
I WOULD BE HAPPY TO REMIND MEN
AND WOMEN ACROSS THIS COUNTRY OF
THAT, THAT THERE IS NOTHING
IMPEACHABLE THAT HAS HAPPENED
UNDER THIS PRESIDENCY, CERTAINLY
NOT THIS UKRAINIAN PHONE CALL
THAT THE DEMOCRATS DIDN'T EVEN
REALLY HAVE THE TRANSCRIPT FOR,
THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WAS
SAID BEFORE THE CALL FOR
IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY.
THE REALITY IS, ALL OF THEIR
CANDIDATES ARE TERRIBLE.
IF THEY KNOW THAT NO ONE CAN
BEAT DONALD TRUMP IN 2020.
THIS IS THEIR LAST DITCH ATTEMPT
TO DO IT AND I ALWAYS LIKE TO
REMIND PEOPLE TOO, LOOK AT YOUR
LIFE.
IS YOUR LIFE BETTER NOW THAN IT
WAS WHEN DONALD TRUMP TOOK
OFFICE?
AND FOR THE MAJORITY OF
AMERICANS, THEY SAY YES.
THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING.
THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD BE VOTING
FOR IN 2020, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU
SHOULD REALLY KEEP IN MIND THAT
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NO SHOT AND
THIS IS THEIR DESPERATION
SHOWING THROUGH VERY, VERY
CLEARLY.
>> Shannon: WE KNOW YOUR LIFE
HAS CHANGED SINCE WE LAST TALKED
WITH YOU ON "FOX NEWS @ NIGHT,"
