RESPONSIBLE FOR WAR CRIMES AND
OTHER ATROCITIES.
>> THEY WERE INVOLVED IN FIRING
AND SHELLING OUR MILITARY
PERSONNEL AND ENDANGERING THEIR
LIFE.
THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR THOSE CRIMES THAT THEY HAVE
COMMITTED.
>> Bill: THE KREMLIN IS
ADDRESSING THE STATUS OF TWO
AMERICAN VETERANS CAPTURED IN
EASTERN UKRAINE WHILE FIGHTING
PUTIN’S ARMY.
FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE FOX
NEWS CONTRIBUTOR MIKE POMPEO
WITH US NOW.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
THEY HAVE ISSUED A DEATH
SENTENCES FOR OTHER NATIONALS,
SOME FROM ENGLAND AND SOME FROM
OTHERS AND NOW THEY HAVE TWO
AMERICANS.
DOES THIS ADMINISTRATION HAVE
SWAY IN CONVINCING PUTIN TO
KEEP THEM ALIVE?
>> GOOD MORNING, BILL.
GOOD MORNING, DANA.
BOY, THIS IS HEARTBREAKING.
THIS IS WHY LEADERSHIP MATTERS.
WE FIND OURSELVES IN THIS
TERRIBLE PLACE.
UKRAINIANS FIND THEMSELVES IN
THIS TERRIBLE PLACE BECAUSE THE
UNITED STATES LOST DETERENS AND
THE CAPACITY FOR THE PRESIDENT
AND SECRETARY OF STATE TO
DISCUSS WITH RUSSIA AND HAVE
REAL COST AND PROTECTING
AMERICAN INTERESTS.
THE DEATH SENTENCES ON THESE
TWO FOLKS WHO SERVED IN THE
UNITED STATES MILITARY ARE JUST
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE
INCAPACITY OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION TO DO THAT.
WE HAVE LEVERAGE AND HAVE TOOLS
THAT WE CAN USE, BILL.
NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS
ADMINISTRATION IS PREPARED TO
USE THEM IN A SERIOUS WAY TO
RESTORE THE DETERRENCE TO
PREVENT THEM FROM MAKING THE
STATEMENTS LET ALONE CARRYING
OUT THESE MURDERS.
>> Dana: PRESIDENT PUTIN THINKS
TIME IS ON HIS SIDE.
DO YOU THINK THAT’S RIGHT?
>> IT ALL DEPENDS, DANA.
IT DEPENDS ON THE RESPONSE FROM
EUROPE AND THE RESPONSE FROM
THE UNITED STATES.
IF WE GET IT RIGHT AND CONTINUE
TO SUPPORT THE UKRAINIANS
EFFORTS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES
AND PROVIDE THEM THE TOOLS AND
RESOURCES THEY NEED.
IF THE EUROPEANCE DO THE SAME
THING AND THEN REPUT REAL
SANCTIONS ON.
WE’RE PART WAY THERE.
THE RUBLE IS STILL AT A DECENT
LEVEL.
WE HAVEN’T BEEN SERIOUS ABOUT
CUTTING THE RUSSIAN FINANCIAL
SYSTEM OFF.
IF WE’RE SEAR JUST ABOUT THIS
AND USED THE TOOLS WE HAVE TIME
WON’T BE ON VLADIMIR PUTIN’S
SIDE BUT ON UKRAINE AND THEIR
SOVEREIGNTY WILL BE DEFENDED.
AS WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE BREAK
IT MATTERS A LOT IN AMERICA TO
KANSAS FARMERS AND PEOPLE
ACROSS THE COUNTRY IMPACTED BY
WHAT’S GOING ON THERE AS WELL.
>> Bill: IT CERTAINLY DOES.
BIG, BROAD QUESTION HERE.
THE PRESIDENT IS GOING TO SAUDI
ARABIA IN ABOUT A MONTH’S TIME
IN JULY.
IN THE MEANTIME WE FOUND OUT
TODAY RUSSIA IS THE BIGGEST
EXPORTER OF OIL INTO CHINA.
SO WE’RE GOING TO SAUDI ARABIA
TO GET THEM TO DRILL MORE.
RUSSIA IS SELLING ITS OIL TO
BEIJING, WHICH LOOKS LIKE
PRETTY MUCH THE PATTERN THEY
SET UP BACK IN EARLY FEBRUARY
WHEN PUTIN AND XI SAID WE’LL
HAVE NO LIMITS TO OUR
RELATIONSHIP.
>> RIGHT.
NO LIMITS.
THAT WAS THE STATEMENT.
WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT WHEN WE
THINK ABOUT UKRAINE.
WE SHOULD ALWAYS FOCUS ON
EUROPE BUT THE CENTRAL THREAT
OF OUR TIMES IS THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST PARTY.
THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
WHAT VLADIMIR PUTIN IS DOING.
BIDEN’S TRIP FOR SAUDI ARABIA.
THE FIRST TRIP SHOULD BE TO HIS
OWN TEAM SAYING WE’LL START
DRILLING IN AMERICA AGAIN AND
PRODUCE ENERGY AT HOME FOR
OURSELVES NOT JUST CRUDE OIL,
NATURAL GAS, ALL THE THINGS
THAT WE HAVE ABUNDANTLY HERE
AND WE OUGHT TO WORK WITH OUR
FRIENDS AND ALLIES IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
WE’VE GOT THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS.
DEEP RELATIONSHIPS WITH ISRAEL,
SAUDI ARABIA AND EMOTION RATHER.
THEY AREN’T PERFECT ON HUMAN
RIGHTS BUT IT MATTERED TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE THE AFWOILT
HEAT AND COOL THEIR HOMES, ALL
THE THINGS IMPACTED NOW BY THE
FACT WE SAID WE’RE NOT GOING TO
DEAL WITH THESE FOLKS.
TOUGH WORLD OUT THERE AND WE
OUGHT TO DEAL WITH IT.
IF WE DO, WE CAN CONVINCE THE
RUSSIANS TO CHANGE THEIR COURSE
BECAUSE WE’LL DETER THEM AND
THEN WE CAN TRY AND SPLIT THE
CHINESE FROM THE RUSSIANS.
SOMETHING THAT XI WOULD BE
IMPACTED GREATLY AND SOMETHING
WE WERE WORKING ON INSIDE OUR
ADMINISTRATION AND HAD MADE
SOME PROGRESS.
>> Dana: ONE LAST TOPIC FOR YOU
AS THE FORMER SECRETARY OF
STATE I’M SURE THIS MAKES YOUR
BLOOD BOIL A BIT.
THE UNITED STATES IS STILL
REJECTING MORE THAN 90% OF
AFGHANS COMING INTO THE COUNTRY
ON HUMANITARIAN GROUNDS.
45,000 APPLICATIONS SINCE JULY
OF 2021.
5,000 SETTLED AND 90 PERCENT OF
THOSE HAVE BEEN DENIED, SIR.
>> I SAW THAT REPORT.
THAT IS CONTINUING THE WORST
POLICY WHAT HAPPENED.
IT IS ALMOST A YEAR AGO NOW.
SEEMS LIKE FOREVER BECAUSE THIS
ADMINISTRATION WON’T UTTER THE
WORD AFGHANISTAN TODAY.
TO DENY THESE PEOPLE THE
CAPACITY TO COME HERE WHEN WE
WON’T EVEN CONSIDER THEIR
APPLICATIONS.
MANY OF THEM SERVED ALONGSIDE
OUR SOLDIERS, SAVED A LOT OF
AMERICAN LIVES.
WE SHOULD MAKE SURE WE KNOW WHO
THEY ARE AND VET THEM PROPERLY
BUT THEN WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION
TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT.
WE CAN DO IT.
THIS ADMINISTRATION DOESN’T
WANT TO TOUCH THIS BECAUSE OF
THE EMBARRASSMENT THEY MADE,
THE UNITED STATES JUST TRULY
MADE -- EMBARRASSED ON THE
WORLD STAGE AND THEY WANT TO
FORGET IT.
I HOPE THEY CHANGE THEIR
POLICIES AND THE STATE
DEPARTMENT FOLKS WILL IMPLORE
THE ADMINISTRATION TO GET THIS
BETTER POLICY.
>> Bill: THE BORDER IS NEARLY
OPEN ON THE SOUTHWEST.
