BYRON, THINK YOU VERY MUCH.
GOOD TO SEE YOU TONIGHT.
COMING UP NEXT,
MIKE JUST INSIDE THE ROOM TODAY.
THE U.S. AMBASSADOR FOR THE
EUROPEAN UNION.
MIKE McCAUL, ON GREAT TO SEEY
MIKE McCAUL, ON GREAT TO SEEU
TONIGHT.
BACK IN THE PROGRAM, WERE PRETTY
SURE, WE HEARD IN RIVER GUARD TO
THE
TESTIMONY THAT HE WAS
DISAPPOINTED TO CONSTRUCT TO
KIND OF GO THROUGH THE RUDY
GIULIANI, AND THIS OTHER GROUP
OF PEOPLE RATHER THAN GO THROUGH
THE NORMAL CHANNELS FOR THE
AMBASSADOR'S OFFICE AND
STATE DEPARTMENT.
>> HAD TO BE A LITTLE BIT
CAREFUL, ADAM SCHIFF HAS PUT A
GAG RULE ON THIS SO I CAN ONLY
TALK ABOUT IT AND MADE THE
PUBLIC OUT OF COMMITTEE.
IN HIS OPENING STATEMENT.
HE REFERS TO ADAM GIULIANA,
HE REFERS TO ADAM GIULIANAS
HE REFERS TO ADAM GIULIANAM
HE REFERS TO ADAM GIULIANAT
HE REFERS TO ADAM GIULIANAM
HE REFERS TO ADAM GIULIANAS
THE CONJECTURE OF THE STATE
PERMANENT DOUGH MIKE DUBKE PART
SOMETIMES NOT.
A COMMON
THEME WITH THE TESTIMONY THAT'S
BEEN MADE PUBLIC THERE'S NO QUID
PRO QUO AND I THINK THAT'S VERY
CLEAR FROM THE CONVERSATION OF
THE FEDERAL PROSECUTOR.
THE REVIEW TO THE PHONE CALL AND
FOUND THERE'S NO CRIMINAL
VIOLATION, NOT TALKED ABOUT VERY
MUCH.
IF SO, I DON'T THINK THERE'S
REALLY ANY EARTH SHATTERING THEY
SEE AND COME OUT OF THESE
DEPOSITIONS IN THE TOP
REPUBLICAN ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS,
IT'S TRUE TO ALL OF THEM.
>> Martha: LET ME ASK YOU A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT TURKEY AND
SYRIA SITUATION.
OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN YOUR PARTY WHO DO NOT
LIKE THE WAY THAT THIS WAS
HANDLED.
THE PRESIDENT CAME OUT TODAY
AFTER 120 HOURS CEASE-FIRE WAS
ANNOUNCED AFTER THE DISCUSSIONS
WITH PRESIDENTS OF TURKEY AND
VICE PRESIDENT PENCE AND
SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO.
HE IS WITH THE PRESIDENT TSAI.
>> IT'S A GREAT DAY FOR
UNITED STATES, IT'S A GREAT DAY
FOR TURKEY.
GREAT DAY FOR THE CARDS.
IT'S A GREAT DAY FOR
CIVILIZATION.
I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY.
>> Martha: HOW DID YOU VOTE ON
THE RESOLUTION WHERE YOU ARE IN
FAVOR OF THE PRESIDENT'S ACTION
WITH REGARD TO BACKING OUT OF
THE BUFFER ZONE AND DO YOU AGREE
WITH WHAT HE SAID THERE?
>> I AGREE WITH -- I JUST GOT A
PHONE CALL WITH A VICE PRESIDENT
UPDATING ME ON THE CEASE-FIRE
NEGOTIATIONS.
I COMMEND THE VICE PRESIDENT AND
SECRETARY POMPEO FOR ENDING THE
BLOODSHED.
I HAVE MY CONCERNS WITH
WITHDRAWAL FROM SYRIA
PARTICULARLY AS IT PERTAINS TO
PROTECTING THE HOMELAND.
I WAS AT THE WHITE HOUSE MEETING
YESTERDAY AND SO PUBLICIZED, AND
I THINK AFTER THE SPEAKER WE GOT
DOWN THE DEMOCRAT STATE IN THE
ROOM, WE HAD A VERY CIVIL -- NO
MIKE, VERY
SENSIBLE CONVERSATION.
MY NUMBER ONE POSITION AFTER WE
PULLED OUT OF IRAQ, YOU KNOW,
MICAH THOMA MARTHA
, I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE THE SAME
THING HAPPENING IN SYRIA.
I GOT INSURANCES FROM THE JOINT
CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES THAT WE ARE
NOT COMPLETELY WITHDRAWING FROM
SYRIA.
THAT WE WILL HAVE A RESIDUAL
FORCE TO PROTECT THE HOMELAND
AND I COMMEND THE
VICE PRESIDENT'S ARE
NEGOTIATIONS AND A FIVE DAY
CEASE-FIRE AFTER WHICH THERE
WILL BE A PERMANENT CEASE-FIRE
IN PLACE.
IN THE MEANTIME, IN THE
MEANTIME, I THE SANCTIONS BILLED
I'VE INTRODUCED WITH CHAIRMAN
AND I KNOW THE SENATE
COUNTERPART HAVE INTRODUCED A
BILL AS WELL.
IF IT FAILS AT THE SECTIONS WILL
GO FOR IT APPEARED
VICE PRESIDENT PENTZ REFERRED TO
WHICH WE CALL THE S SEE IF WHEN
WE WERE WORKING WITH HIM, SO
PEOPLE HAVE NOTED IT'S MORE OF
THE TURKISH LANGUAGE FOR THE
GROUP.
THE PRESIDENT SAID THAT HE HAD A
FRIENDS AND PRESIDENTS ARE THE
ONE IN THAT HE SAW THE LIGHT ON
THIS AGREEMENT.
ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT THE WAY
THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HIM
RIGHT NOW?
DO TRUST HIM, WOULD YOU AGREE
WITH OUR?
AND SPEAK OUT THERE ARE NATO
ALLY BUT I DON'T LIKE THE CELL
LEADERSHIP.
ISAAC IS TRYING TO RETURN TURKEY
TO THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND THE
FACT THAT HE THE S400 I THINK IT
SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT WHAT KIND
OF ALLIANCE WE HAVE.
WERE HAVE A AIR BASE, IT'S A
TRICKY LINE RIGHT NOW.
I THICKLY HAVE TO WORK WITH THEM
TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE IN SYRIA.
SECRETARY POMPEO'S TRAVELING TO
EUROPE WITH THE COALITION
PARTNERS TO TRY TO REACH SOME
SORT OF STABILIZATION AGREEMENTS
IN SYRIA.
A VERY DIFFICULT COMPLEX FOREIGN
POLICY ISSUE.
>> Martha: THERE'S A LOT OF
SKEPTICISM, AS THE PENTAGON
WHETHER THERE KURDS ARE GOING TO
