Pompeo WARNS Trump - 'Don't take your foot off Iran's neck' · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: President Trump is about to cap off another busy day
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: at the G seven summit with a dinner between world leaders,
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: and at the center of his conversations is, of course,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: the US deal with Iran, set to be formally signed
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: on Friday. Our senior White House correspondent Peter Ducey's reporting
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: live in Geneva, Switzerland, on all of that for US, Hello, Peter.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: And Sandra. As we look ahead to that signing ceremony
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: at a resort in Luzerne, Switzerland on Friday, we should
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: not expect to see Jade Vance handing a big check
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: over to his Iranian counterparts. President Trump is explaining here
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: on the sidelines of the G seven that there is
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: a difference between giving Iran three hundred billion dollars and
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: letting them have access to a three hundred billion dollar
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: reconstruction fund.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Allowed to go and invest if we wanted to some
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: date in the future. We have no obligation whatsoever. It
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: could be that Iran will turn out to be successful
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: on theb oil. But have we left a week ago,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: just left before the last two attacks, it would have
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: taken him twenty years to rebuild her at So but
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: I'll go over the document with the media in a
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: couple of days.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: And this is what the president is getting at. The
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Wall Street Journal has an item that just crossed a
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: few minutes ago. The US will allow Iran to immediately
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: begin selling oil and fuel under the deal to end
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: the war, offering Tehran an early financial incentive to wind
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: down the conflict. People familiar with the agreement said the
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: provision for waivers on sanctions on oil sales takes effect
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: immediately upon signing the agreement this week, and that fits
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: with the two step process the Vice President's been talking about.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Step one, Iran stops pursuing a nuke. Step two, Iran
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: gets to rejoin the global economy. Something that President Trump needs, though,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: is the elimination of enriched uranium. He told us a
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: few weeks ago. He has decided against a mission go
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: and take the so called nuclear dust out, but he
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: does want it done away with in place.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: We have the equipment. We're in no rush, but we
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: get it, and when we get it, we'll destroy it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Is that part we're not looking to take you, We're
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: looking to destroy it. We have plenty of it, and.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: It seems like one possibility for the complete lack of
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: specific details surrounding this memorandum of understanding so far is
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: that the details don't exist. We're hearing from the President,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: We're hearing from JD. Vance that it is a very
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: general document. So it's possible that we don't have details
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: because nobody.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Does, Sandra, and that could be a problem. We'll be
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: watching for more of those details. Peter Deucy, thank you, John.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Sata, let's break it form A Secretary of State and
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Foxty's contributed. Mike POMPEII, mister secretary, good to be with
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: you to day afternoon. In terms of the details, we
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: kind of know a broad framework of this memorandum of understanding.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: The President and other administration officials have said it will
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: be coming out. In fact, this morning in Geneva, the
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: President said this about it wasn't here.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: I will actually I'll not only release it, I'll probably
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: have a press conference and read it to use word
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: by words. Unlike Obama, who could have destroyed the Middle
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: East with a horrible jc POA, it is the worst agreement.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: That was a road to a nuclear weapon.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Mine is a wall against a nuclear weapon. I mean,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I see these people say, but we already had one.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: He paid a fortune for it.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: We paid nothing, so we don't know if we can
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: compare it to the jcp away, but certainly a lot
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: of people are rushing to do so. Should they just
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: hold their fire until we know what's in it?
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: Well, John's great to be with you. Yeah, we should
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: all just hold our fire. We should get a chance
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: to see this document just as soon as possible. Everybody's
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: out telling stories. The Raetians are out telling stories. Israelis
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: are out telling stories. Though you know there's reporters who
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: think they've got the latest scoops. Let's see what the
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: document actually says. President Trump can't go back to the
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: JCPO because he's already done far more than Barack Obama
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: ever did. Right, The Iranians are far far far away
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: from a nuclear weapon compared to where they were when
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: President Obama and Secretary Kerry and Robert Malley and Wendy
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: Sherman signed a horrible deal that put the whole world
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: at risk. And so we're already in a better place.
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: What I hope is is that the stories that there's
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: going to be a lot of money transferred to their
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: regime because we think they're going to become a normal nation.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: And they're going to give up their desire for a
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: nuclear weapon. John I just I must say my interactions
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: with the Iranians, my observations are that that is not happening.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: They do not want to be a normal nation.
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: They're not sorry for what they've done for the last
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: forty seven years. They are theocrats still intent on the
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: destruction of Israel and the United States of America, and
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: so we need to take down their capabilities.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: That means no money, That means an.
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: Effort to make sure that it's very difficult or the
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: regime to continue to kill its own people. If the
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: deal can achieve that, it will have been a successful
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: income and a worthy campaign by President Trump and our military.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Go point there about the money and whether or not
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Iran should receive any. We hear that somewhere built into
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: this deal, there's this idea of an up to three
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: hundred billion dollar fund that would be fronted by golf
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: nations to help Iran rebuild infrastructure, oil infrastructure, electricity infrastructure.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: If they play ball and they fundamentally change as a nation.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: Here's what the Vice President said about.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: That this morning.
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: You see the propagandists are saying, here are all the
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: things that ran gets and the fine print whi's actually
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: the big print and the actual agreement is they don't
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: get any of that stuff unless they totally transform themselves
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: at the country, and if they do, that's a huge
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: win for everybody, for the region.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: If they don't no skin all far back.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, obviously it would be a huge win for
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: the region if Iran were to fundamentally give up its
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: terrorist ideologies and it's death to America and Israel mantra
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: and become a functional member of the Community of Nations.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: But as you point out, there's very little chance of
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: them doing that, which would mean I guess that there's
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: very little chance of them getting any acts to this.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Fund Yes, if the Vice presuals statement is accurate and
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: the Iranians importantly and the Iranians understand it that way,
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: which has yet to be seen. By the way, not
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: just the Ranians. The people who matter, not the guy
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: who's going to sign the agreement, the IRGC who's firmly
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: in control, and the Ayahtola. If those folks decide they
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: want to become a normal nation, sign me up for
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: folks going in there and investing. But John, I have
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: to tell you, it seems like the probability that is
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: very low to me, So fair enough, they won't get
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: any money. What I hope does not happen is that
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: we take our foot off their neck while we have
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: the chance to achieve an outcome that is extraordinary for
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: the United States of American. President Trump set the conditions
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: for that by giving them money, whether that's through a
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: direct transfer or transfer from a third party, or even
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: releasing things that they say, quote, is the Iranians own money.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: That would be a mistake, because John, you've seen this before,
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: We've seen this bad movie. That money is not going
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: to provide healthcare, medicine.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And food for the Iranian people.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: It is going to go to rebuild their missile program,
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: rebuild the IRGC, buy more weapons systems from Russia and
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: from China. That money that goes to the Ranian regime
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: will be used for a bad purpose. If I'm wrong
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: and the Ranians have turned over a new leaf, there'd
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: be no one who would be happier than me.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: You know, I haven't seen many leopards actually change their spot,
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: so I'm kind of with you on that. I wanted
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: to ask you about this because this plot against the
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: UFC Freedom two fifty event on Sunday night really seems
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: to be frightened because there were forty three hundred and
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: ten d's on the south lawn to the White House,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: twelve hundred those were active duty service members, and then
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: just south of the south lawn on the ellipse, there
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: were eighty five thousand people at a viewing party. If
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: it had not been for this mother in Ohio who
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: noticed suspicious activity by her son, firearm purchases, talking nefarious people,
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: not being able to tell her what was going on,
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: God knows what could have happen.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: John, this is absolutely frightening. I'll bless that mother for
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: doing the right thing. If that's in fact, how this
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: all unfolded. Good work by the FBI. It reminds me, John,
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: when I was a CI director, how many times I
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: saw amazing work by law enforcement, the FBI, by our
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: intelligence partners around the world. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: that's now lapsed was often part of that may not
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: have been here.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: We need to be ever vigilant.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: A terrorists now can have very cheap, very capable weapons systems.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: We've seen that in the Middle East and in Ukraine.
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: We are in a very dangerous place with respect to
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: this technology, and our law enforcement needs to be unleashed
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: to make sure that we can continue to protect the
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: American people from precisely the kind of threats that these
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: people were trying to plot against the UFC that night.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there really is frightening with this plot, allegedly head planned,
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: mister Secretary. Always good to catch up with you, Thanks
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: for spending time today.
• 8:45
