Alveda king about brand new sound, new comments coming in from former top obama official susan rice. Shes saying now that the Trump White House is racist to the core, thats a direct quote, and susan rice echoing Hillary Clinton that trumps voters are deplorablings. She says Trumps Senate reporters [inaudible] the trash heap of history. This is the democrats game plan to win the 2020 race. Plus, trump attorney and former new york city mayor Rudy Giuliani, hes going to take on the story we brought to you last night. Democrats adam schiff and Speaker Nancy Pelosi were against john bolton before they were for him. They were saying hes not a patriot, but now they want to bring him in because they want to push back on donald trump. Democrats talking to Democratic House chairmen about getting bolton in to testify. Were going to talk to Rudy Giuliani about that. Also tonight a story nobody else is bringing to you. Hoi profile high profile former federal prosecutor john to conner is coauthor of a book with the man who was deep throat. Mark phelps brought down nixon in the watergate scandal. John oconnor has worked on famous cases like the patty hearst case and more. He says theres a long history of pushing the envelope, of stretching the law in dubious ways until it snaps and breaks all in a push to nail people to the wall for his career victories. John oconnors going to talk to us about how that is the background to comey going after trump and michael flynn. Also was there something more behind the trumprussia probe . Was it really about president obama protecting his legacy on the Iran Nuclear Deal . Weve got details on that, and were going to talk with retired army colonel david hunt. Im elizabeth macdonald, the evening edit starts right now. Elizabeth thanks for joining us. Youre watching the fox business network. We begin with Hillary Vaughn in washington d. C. Hillary. Reporter good evening, liz. The Oklahoma Supreme Court at the last minute shot down a last ditch legal challenge to try to force everyone that attends this tulsa rally to socially distance and also wear mask. The president also says he talked with the mayor of tulsa this afternoon who assured him there will be no curfew tonight and no curfew tomorrow night. This happening after a lawsuit was filed trying to stop the arena from hosting the rally saying it presented a, quote, deadly risk to the community. But despite criticism from some, the rally is on, and the Campaign Says they are talk thing the necessary safety precautions taking the necessary precautions providing masks and also Hand Sanitizer. For folks who volunteer to come to this rally and sign up, they can make the choice to stay outside, possibly go inside, possibly wear a mask, possibly not. Its american freedom. Theyve got the choice. Reporter the president will not be wearing a mask, and unlike his political opponent, joe biden, who says wearing a mask is a mark of leadership, President Trump disagrees. In an interview with the wall street journal today the president says masks can be a false sense of security telling the journal this, quote i see biden. Its like his whole face is covered. Its like he put a knapsack over his face, but the mask is a doubleedged sword. Theyre talking through the masks for hours, they probably dont clean them. We are at exactly the halfway mark between the ah caucus Iowa Caucuses and the election. Bidens list of vp candidates has gotten shorter. Senator Amy Klobuchar took her name out of consideration. I truly believe, as i actually told the Vice President last night when i called him, that i think this is a moment to put a woman of color on that ticket. Reporter biden did not respond to klobuchars recommendation to whittle his list down to women of color only. Right now theres only one white woman on the list of contenders, senator elizabeth warren. The other options include kamala harris, atlantas mayor and former National Security adviser susan rice who was asked today, liz, if she thinks that biden should limit his list to women of color. She just is open to whatever biden ultimately decides. Liz . Elizabeth Hillary Vaughn, thank you so much. Okay, lets welcome back to the show tim murtaugh. He is trump 2020 director of communications. Hes at the rally in tulsa. Tim, its always great to have you back on. What is going on with this information that were hearing that groups involved in the destructive and violent rioting may show up tomorrow at the rally . Well, thats what the mayor of tulsa said when he imposed the curfew last night. And, of course, you just reported it has been lifted for tonight and tomorrow night. But when he announced the curfew last night, he said that he had information that organized groups from other cities and other states were on their way to tulsa in an effort to try to create unrest and probably, in their minds, duplicate some of the scenes of violence that americans have seen from other cities. And the mayor of tulsa was determined not to allow that, and i think President Trump echoes that. The president tweeted earlier today that such folks would not be treated very lightly if thats ooh whey they a thats what they attempted to do. The president is looking forward to a great rally here tomorrow night. Its going to be a loud, boisterous crowd, a lot of fun, and we hope everybody peaceful. Thats the intention. Elizabeth yeah, tim, so how is the campaign keeping people safe . We understand the covid19 concerns, now its about potential rioters and protesters showing up. Whats being done to keep people safe . Were hearing the National Guard is in there by the hundreds. Well, i havent seen any of the National Guard. I mean, ive been told that theyre on saw standbut, but i standby, but i havent seen their presence. Theres going to be security at the arena, of course, as always for a large gathering of that kind. And as far as the health and safety of people regarding the coronavirus, were going to be doing a Temperature Check for every Single Person who somewheres, and well provide enters, and well provide everyone with a mask they can wear if they want to, and therell be more Hand Sanitizer than could possibly be used. For the very first time, the president will speak actually twice, once inside the arena and once at the large gathering outside where im standing right now. So the president will actually be able to address americans and his supporters in two locations tomorrow night. Elizabeth okay. Tim, id like you to listen to this sound from former National Security advisor for barack obama, susan rice, with her take about Trumps Senate supporters, that they are deplorablings. Watch this. Deplorablings. Whats important about what senator klobuchar said and did that she made clear that this election and whoever joe biden chooses among many very talented candidates is about getting biden in the white house, somebody who can heal and unify the nation and remove donald trump and consign him and those who have supported him in the senate to the trash heap of history. Elizabeth okay. So the trash heap of history. Shes also saying that the Trump Administration is, quote, racist to its core. Your reaction . Well, thats just the deplorables from Hillary Clinton all over or again, and thats what democrats think about the people who support President Trump. Ive got to tell you, we had over a Million People request tickets for this rally tomorrow night, and therell be a gigantic crowd out here. And the president , 63 Million People voted for him in 2016, and i can tell you susan rice and all of the democrats, and that includes joe biden, they think that those americans, tens of millions of americans, are they can just dismiss them as deplorables. Joe biden has always said the president s base is filled with a bunch of white supremacists. This is not the way to win votes and influence people. If the Vice President , joe biden, and his team think that its okay to declare about half the country rabid racists, well, thats a heck of a way to unite people as joe biden pretends to say that hes doing. Thats not uniting americans whatsoever. I think what youll hear from the president tomorrow night is that itll be a message of uniting america and everybody being involved in the Great American comeback. Elizabeth tim, your final word, your reaction to the news that facebook removed dozens of Trump Campaign ads with symbols once used by gnats is is nazis. How did that get by . Democrats are attacking trump and the trump team and Trump Campaign and the white house as racist and supporting white supremacists. How did that get by . Well, it was an ad about antifa, and an inverted red triangle is a symbol that is used by antifa. Thats why it was in that ad. Its ludicrous. And i dont think facebook has any problem with their own inverted red triangle emoji which looks exactly the same. If our triangle is offensive, then facebooks so offensive. Its just another example of the war against the Trump Campaign. Its ridiculous. We couldnt even use an antifa symbol in an ad about antifa. Its nonsense. Elizabeth and, tim, final word. Of antifa uses that symbol on a wide variety of things, right . Sure. I mean, if you look online, you can find it on a variety of items and posters and web sites that are antifabranded web sites. And, frankly, its one of the many symbols that they use, and its just one we do millions of facebook ads over the course of months x this is one ad with a red triangle on it being used to depict an antifa symbol that facebook ludicrously tried to link to some notorious characters from the past. And that was not what it was at all. Elizabeth okay. All right. Tim murtaugh, thanks so much for joining us. Next up, trump attorney and former new york city mayor Rudy Giuliani, hes going to take on this story that we brought you last night. Democrats were against john bolton before they were for him. Adam schiff and Speaker Pelosi now talking to Democratic Committee chairs in the house about bringing in john bolton, dragooning him to basically go after the president based on the charges and allegations in john boltons memoir. Can they do it . Rudy giuliani next. Why. Because our way works great for us but not for your clients. Thats why were a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. So, what do you provide . Cookie cutter portfolios . Nope. We tailor portfolios to our clients needs. But you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right . We dont have those. So, whats in it for you . Our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. At Fisher Investments were clearly different. Always have been. And always will be. Never letting anything get in my way. Not the doubts, distractions, or voice in my head. And certainly not arthritis. New voltaren provides powerful arthritis pain relief to help me keep moving. And it can help you too. Feel the joy of movement with voltaren. vo at whether on the track,that exhor the everyday drive. Ty, today, that philosophy extends to how we connect with you. We call it, audi at your door. Whether a remote test drive, shopping, tradein, or even service pickup, audi at your door can do this and more at participating dealers. The premium audi dealership experience, on your terms. Audi at your door. Elizabeth welcome back. A story that we brought you last night, democrats adam schiff and speaker nan su employees city nan su she pelosi slammed john bolton as not a patriot during impeachment, but now theyre talking about bringing bolton in to testify in a, quote, next step potential push to look into what the Trump Administration has been doing according to the allegations in bowel in boltons memoir. Rudy giuliani back with us. This is based on educations in john allegations in john boltons book. Your reaction . My reaction is that this is another one of their games to try to affect the election. Look, they were all upset that a year ago my looking into very legitimate charges of bidens multimillion dollar bribes would affect the election. How about what theyre doing right now with a guy they said isnt a patriot, a guy who is a confirmed liar . So if they do that, i dont see why were not investigating biden for bribery. I mean, whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Elizabeth yeah, i hear what youre saying. Youre still working biden elizabeth yeah, go ahead. Because of bidens career, he probably took somewhere between 3040 to million in bribes through his family. I have witnesses who can testify to that, under oath. Not liars like bolton who wouldnt come forth and say it to anybody else and had to put it in a book for money. These are real witnesses. Id love to have them testify about bidens bribery so the American People can find out that not only is he cognitively impaired, he cant get out of his basement, but hes been a crook all of his high going back to the time that he was cheating in law school. I mean, a guy cheats in law school is probably going to turn out to be a man of no character. He was cheating in law school, he cheated as a senator. His two brothers and his son made millions selling his name all over the world and selling out the United States. Well, if they want to go into boltons ridiculous, idiotic claims, we should go into the real crimes of joe biden and his family. Elizabeth well, where is that headed . The information that you have and the people you say you have, where is it now . How can you get that information out . Go to its been out there for a year, and the press doesnt Pay Attention to it because they protect joe biden. But if you really want to get it, go to Rudy Giuliani common sense. Com. There are eight episodes devoted to joe biden. You see the witnesses, you will see the documents, youll see the tape recordings. You will see a cold, open and shut 14 million Money Laundering situation in which hunter biden got a elizabeth okay, i understand that, ive seen it. I see what youre saying. Hang on a second, mr. Mayor. Has any republican said to you, yes, come on in, mr. Mayor, and tell us what youve got . No. The republicans are afraid, including my friend lindsay graham, theyre afraid theyre going to be accused of interfearing in the election. The point im interfering in the election. The point im making is schumer and pelosi dont seem to be afraid that theyre interfering in the election in calling this stink thing liar bolton to testify. Well, i have real witnesses. I have tape recordings about a president ial candidate that shows that hes been a crook for 30 years. How about, how about we go into that . Theres not a oneway street. The republicans are not punching bags and the democrats do all the punching. They happen to have a lot bigger crooks than we have, believe me. Ive been in the catching crook business for a long time, theyve got us about two to one. And the whole thing the bidens were doing in iraq, in china, in ukraine, this is a major, major racketeering case, and i know something about rico cases. I could make this case in a month and have them in jail. So stop the garbage elizabeth all right, well bolton is small potatoes, and i know bolton is lying because bolton is lying about me. So i know hes lying. Bolton was my friend for elizabeth how is he lying about you . How is he lying about you . He, he claims that he warned me in some way about ukraine. He never did. He never came to me about the ukraine. If he had these concerns about the ukraine, he should have come to me. He never really did have these concerns. He only developed the concerns after he was fired and got paid 2 million for a book. If he had gone to the president back then and not saved it for his 2 million payday, if hed had those concerns. Elizabeth okay. Mr. Mayor, thank you for that interview. Really appreciate you coming in. Have you back on. I always appreciate it. Maybe you can get me in front of congress with my evidence. Itd be great. [laughter] elizabeth okay. Its good to have you on. [laughter] mayor giuliani there. Coming up, dr. Alveda king on the pushback that america, you know what . Is not systematically racist. Shes going to talk to us about that. And also those who have laud down their lives laid down their lives in service to america, they do it every day. This is also about the common sense majority of american that is about moderation and peace. America healing itself. Dr. King next. There seems to be a massive disconnect between. Whats going on in Corporate America and what investors are believing is going on in Corporate America. The message to you dont trade because you think youre gonna to get rich quick. Because you. My father, he was a great man. He was the type, he was the type of gentleman that would just give you the shirt off his back. He was the type that loved everybody, and he was the life of the party. He would go somewhere, is and when he walked boo a room, everybody just into a room, everybody would just cling toward his presence. He never met a stranger. He would always reach out to others in the world. It doesnt matter who you were, you were never a stranger to him. And he really, really enjoyed people. He was a people person, and everyone loved him, and they really gravitated to his energy. Elizabeth that was brian powell. It was a moving and profound interview on our show last night. Brian powell remembering his father, retired Police Captain david dorn, who was killed defending his friends shop during the riotses and looting in st. Louis. This as another tumultuous week closing out in washington. America trying to heal itself. We did see strong economic data, but its stories hike that that show the best of america. Lets welcome the niece of dr. Martin luther king. Dr. Alveda king, its always a great to have you on the show, dr. King. What was your reaction to brian powell and the captain dorn story . I believe that that is a very moving testimony that you can find across america regardless of the skin color of certain people. All americans are not racist. Racism does exist in america, and there is systemic racism in america. But all americans are not racist. And we can see that from that particular testimony. Youve heard me say many time were not separate races because of skin color, we are one human race because of the color of our blood. But we have different ethnic groups. Then somebody sent me a picture of two little boys today, one caucasian and one africanamerican, and they got identical haircuts so that their teacher could not tell them apart. That doesnt mean that they could not see each others skin color. Nobodys color blind. But theyre saying see us for real. We are the same. And so as human beings, were going to have to get there. I believe we can. Elizabeth okay, so weve got new comments, new sound from former top Obama Administrations susan rice. Shes telling america snbc that the trump msnbc that the Trump Administration is racist to the core. What do you say i to that . Well, i believe if the Trump Administration racist, why would they have worked to hard to get so many africanamericans occupant of prison in out of prison in a jubilee move . In other words, sending these people out of prison back home, restoring them to their families. Many, many africanamericans have been sent back home. If that administration is racist, and it is not, then why have they worked so hard to get historically black colleges and universities back on their feet with billions of dollars . If that administration is racist, and it is not, why would they work so hard to get the employment rate up in every community including the Africanamerican Community . And so now we have e the new executive order from President Trump banning chokeholds, and i think thats very, very important. So much is is happening from this administration that shows that all americans deserve safety and security. I believe that the administration and the president , theyre doing a good job. Elizabeth dr. King, you and i have talked about when is the turning point for the country to move forward. This week may have been the turning point for the country to continue on to what america about. Lets watch these sound bites. Id like your reaction to them. Too often were having a discussion in this nation about are you supporting the Law Enforcement community or are you supporting communities of color. This is a false, binary choice. The answer to the question of which side do you support, its i support america. And if you support america, you support restoring the confidence that communities of color have in institutions of authority. So my colleagues on the other side who said we talk too much, we dont need to listen anymore, where were you for the eight years of the Obama Administration . Im getting a little tired of being lectured to by my democratic colleagues that all this is trumps fault. You had eight years under president obama, the justice and policing act, none of it was taken up virtually. So lets knock that off. Elizabeth that was senators scott and graham. Dr. King, your reaction to what you just heard . You know, that is just so accurate. Eight years, joe biden was there as the Vice President , he could have done something for the Africanamerican Community, more than just pumping a lot of money into abortions of the Africanamerican Community. But my question is this, where were you for all of those eight years . And so right now, today, we have a president and an administration who work very hard for every american including africanamericans. And, liz, unfortunately it took the death of george floyd for them to wake up and even acknowledge juneteenth. President trump in husband first four in his first four years has done that with strong support. And i think its very important. Theres been so many round tables with the president and his administration, ive been to many of them, discussing concerns of the Africanamerican Community. And so they had eight years, so why would we give joe biden eight years to do nothing again . Elizabeth all right. [laughter] dr. King, its always great to have you on. Come back soon. Thank you so much. Elizabeth okay, sure. Up next, a new line of pushback against john bolton and his book. Former National Security council chief of staff fred fleitz, he says theres one section of the book that disproves boltons entire memoir. Fox news military analyst and retired army colonel david hunt will join us on that just ahead. Yeah yyeah yeah hey, hey yeah at mercedesbenz, nothing service will do.

Lets listen to former National Security counsel chief of staff fred flights on a section of the book that he says disproves boltons entire memoir. Lets listen to this. I want to talk about this in terms of what john bolton called the turning point for him with mr. Trump which bolton said was the most irrational thing i ever saw a president do x. This was when President Trump decided last june not to bomb iran at the advice of john bolton, then the National Security adviser. You may remember that a drone was shot down, and at the last minute, President Trump decided he was not going to attack iran because we would have killed 100200 people. This wasnt to win votes, this wasnt to promote the president nest clue. It reflected the president s principle not to get america into additional wars. So when we hear that the president doesnt have principle, hes not qualified to lead, this incident that bolton puts forward as the turning point for his relationship with President Trump, in my mind it disproves the whole book. Beth elizabeth lets talk about it with foxs military analyst, retired army colonel david hunt back with us. Colonel, what was your reaction to what fred fleitz just said, that this underconsistents boltons undercuts boltons entire memoir . I think my reaction was even at the time i was very pleased that we didnt go to war over a drone. I think thats showing great restraint on the part of the u. S. Government. As it pertains to this book, which i havent read ive just seen excerpts i have no idea what, that being in the book, therefore, it disproves everything. My problem with these books and people who have left the administration, fired or quit, is in this case mr. Bolton, who we all know from fox, had 18 months to Say Something, to do something, to quit and go out in front of the microphones and tell people why he quit. Same with kelly, same with mattis. You guys are at the top of the government. You dont like whats going on, what you did was you didnt stop anything. Now after the fact, when its safer for you, youre up in arms. I think its disingenuous at best. And, oh, by the way, most of the time never changes anybodys opinion about the subject theyre writing about. Elizabeth colonel, why did john bolton write the book . Was it just for profit or another reason . What do you think . Seven figure contract. [laughter] yeah. And because he can say everything he wanted to say during the impeachment trial. He could have gone public, he didnt. I have no problem with him getting a lot of money for his book. Again, 18 months as the National Security adviser, very, very influential, very senior, very responsible position in the u. S. Government, he didnt say anything, didnt say squat, didnt leak anything. And now, of course, hes selling a book. So seems to me he got a lot of money, but thats if only reason hes doing this. Elizabeth yeah. So he went in with the intent to write a book and came out with it. Okay. Heres this discussion id like to talk to you about. It happened between john bolton and our judge andrew napolitano. Its now resurfacing. The judge had asked john john bolton if the American People are have a right to know what their government is doing. Lets listen to john bolton here. I want to make the cause for secrecy in government when it comes to the conduct of National Security a affairs and, if possible, deception where thats appropriate. You know, Winston Churchill said during world war ii that in wartime truth so important, it should be surrounded by a bodyguard do you really believe that in. Absolutely. You would lie in order to preserve the truth . If i had to Say Something i knew was false to protect american National Security, i would do it. I dont think were often faced with that difficulty. But would i lie about where the dday invasion was going to take place to deceive the germans . You Better Believe it. Why do people in government think that the rules of society do not apply to them . Because they are not dealing in the Civil Society we live in under the constitution. They are dealing in an environment internationally where durant rules apply. Different rules apply. Elizabeth dealing in an anarchic environment where different rules apply. Your reaction to this . Look, i met bolton, like we all have, he always comes across as a very smart guy. He certainly has his opinions. I actually agree with him about we have to keep scents for National Secrets for National Security. Its obviously hypocritical for him to say that with the brilliant, you know, judge napolitano and write a book the way hes doing it. Its, again, disingenuous. If he was serious about this subject, if kelly, if the rest of them were serious about their opinion about serving under this administration, there was a time and place to get that out, and that was resign and go to the microphones and make your statements. In boltons case hes waited all this time and collecting a lot of money, and hes going to sell a lot of books, period. I dont think its going to change anyones opinion about the subject hes writing about. Elizabeth all right. Colonel, good to see you. Come back soon. Have a good weekend, okay . Thank you for your service to our country. You bet. You too, thank you. Elizabeth okay. Coming up, high profile former federal prosecutor john oconnor, he is the coauthor of a book with mark phelps, the man who was deep throat, the guy who brought down nixon in the watergate scandal. John to conner has worked on famous cases including the patty hearst case and more. A story we are bringing to you first.

Elizabeth lets welcome former federal prosecutor john oconnor, he is coauthor of a book with mark phelps, the man who was deep throat who brought down nixon in the watergate scandal. Hes worked on famous cases like the patty hearst case, also connected to ferdinand marcos. Mr. To conner says james comey has a long history of pushing the enve elope, stretching the laws in dubious ways in order to nail people to the wall for career victories, and that is the background for comey going after trump and michael flynn. He joins us now. Hi, liz. Elizabeth elizabeth how does james comey go about his buzz . Its good to see you. What is dubious here . Let me tell you generally, liz, james comey poses as a morally superior, highly ethical lawman whereas, in fact, he tries to use the law to exploit others to destroy their lives for his own personal vain glory. I think he, in my view, is a disgrace to all the fine people in the Justice Department that wake up every day trying to protect people, not trying to destroy citizens wrongly. And thats what he does. Elizabeth how did he do it in the Martha Stewart case . Well, what he did there, liz, was he let Martha Stewart led her to believe that if she gave a truthful answer to a question about why she sold stock, that she would be admitting to guilt for Insider Trading. She had traded the stock based on a tip from her broker. It was not illegal Insider Trading, but james comey led her to believe that she would be prosecuted for that if she admitted getting the tip from her broker, so she denied it. Now, she denied it, denied it, denied it, he gets all the lies down. Now he prosecutes her for lying. In his book he admits that prosecuting her for Insider Trading would have been, quote, unpress e dementedded. And the reason it would have been unprecedented, because it wasnt a crime. Knew that. He knew he was tricking her into committing a crime, but she thought a truthful answer would be an admission to a crime. And thats his m. O. , he does that time and time again, getting people to believe that a truthful answer would be admitting to a crime whereas, in fact, there wouldnt be a crime. Elizabeth so he also worked on the Valerie Plame case. How, what was dubious there about what he did . Did the exact same thing. He started a special counsels investigation with his friend Patrick Fitzgerald on the theory e that anyone who told a reporter about the identity of Valerie Plame as a cia agent was breaking the law, the foreign agents identification act. Now, i e read the statute, other people read the statute, and it looks on its face like it covered Valerie Plame because in the past five years been to europe and used a false name. In fact, he knew and fitzgerald knew that the statute did not cover Valerie Plame. There were words that a normal person who wouldnt understand, and everyone thought that a truthful answer to talking to a reporter about Valerie Plame would be admitting to a crime. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with telling a reporter, by the way, Valerie Plame is the wife of the guy who wrote the oped in the new york timeses. Thats what they were saying. So he knew that Scooter Libby had probably leaked her name, he knew that karl rove had probably leaked her name. He hated both of them. He particularly disliked Vice President cheney and Scooter Libby. And so he got them to deny talking to reporters. Karl rove had a good lawyer and retracted it, but anyway he lied about not talking to reporters and got convicted. Elizabeth so he nails people on process crimes. Final word. Thats exactly what he does. He tricks people as he did with michael flynn, george papadopoulos, the whole shooting match. Elizabeth all right. John, im sorry we ran out of time. Will you come back on . Its good to see you. Thanks for coming in. Thanks, liz. See you, now. Elizabeth okay, well have you back on. Next up, a big story weve been covering, did the Obama Administration have another reason to go after the Incoming Trump team . Was it because thencandidate trump promised to get rid of obamas legacymaking Iran Nuclear Deal . Well bring on charles hurt, thats ahead. Elizabeth welcome back to a story we have been covering, its this question did the Obama Administration are another motive to go after the Incoming Trump team . Was it beyond, you know, allegations of trumprussia collusion . Was it because thencandidate trump promised to get rid of barham rahs Barack Obamas legacymaking iran deal . Walid phares spoke out about that saying, yeah, that is one of the motives that sustained the investigation into the Trump Campaign. Lets welcome back to the show Fox News Contributor and Washington Times opinion editor, hes charles hurt. Charles, what do you think of this story in. I think that theres a really good, i think he makes a very good point. I mean, you cant overestimate how much the Obama Administration in their entire pinned their entire Foreign Policy on the iran deal. And the idea that a guy like donald trump could get elected promising to pull out of that, to reverse that was such a threat to everything that president obama had stood for. And, you know, its a verying big difference between what President Trump ran on and what president obama ran on. President trump promised to pull military, American Military forces out of hot spots around the world, promised not to be a police force anymore. What barack obama was doing was he was apologizing for everything that america stands for, and he was empowering enemies who want to destroy america. And that is what the iran deal was. And when donald trump came along vowing to undo that because he realized the threat that it was to american sovereignty and security not to mention the fact that its an insult to everything that america stands for it was, i think it was more than they could handle. I think it was one of a handful of huge reasons why the remnants of the Obama Administration sought to overturn the 2016 election as soon as donald trump took over. Elizabeth you know, charles, lets listen to walid phares. He was a hes now a Fox News Contributor. He advised mitt romneys 2012 campaign and also, of course, Donald Trumps campaign and republicans in congress for years. Hes long been a critic of iran for its support for terrorism as well as the Muslim Brotherhood in egypt. Lets listen here. In my view, the push against the Trump Campaign and then transition and then administration was on behalf of those who wanted to defend the iran deal, to protect the interest of the iran deal. Elizabeth you know, charles, it also should be noted that president obama was silent, he was criticized for not supporting irans democracy protesters, it was called the green revolution when the iranian people took to the streets. Also the Obama Administration struck a deal to pay, with know this already, to pay tens of billions of dollars to iran. Iran said they were owed that money and eased up on sanctions on the country of iran in exchange for a freeze on its Nuclear Weapons. And it also recognized the Muslim Brotherhood in egypt after the arab spring uprising. So a lot of things at play here, you know, in the intersection of that with the outgoing Obama Administration and the Trump Campaign expect trump team coming in. Your take on all of that. Its really, its really astonishing that the Obama Administration stood down during those protests, during the green revolution. Because it was an opportunity to completely reshape that part of the world and not to mention the fact that it was, it could have delivered a death blow from the inside to one of the most murderous, dangerous antidemocratic, antifreedom regimes on the planet. And Barack Obamas administration stood very much on the sidelines. And then, of course, the other thing and this is the part that should be so alarming to regular americans that that deal put iran on a glide path to at the end of a tenyear period to break out and get Nuclear Weapons. And Nuclear Weapons in the hands of the iranians would be devastating for america and the world. Elizabeth all right. Charles hurt, thank you so much for joining us, we really appreciate it.
