From syria. He will sanction he says if erdogan breaks his agreement with mr. Trump. The president slamming the radical dimms, and the leftwing media for their lies and acts of subversion. The ukrainian president said there was absolutely no pressure or blackmail. We go to washington to john roberts. Reporter . With his former ambassador to ukraine set to testify tomorrow. He didnt say he would block her appearance. You cant have all these people testifying about every conversation you have had. In this case we have a transcript. And i have given it almost immediately. Reporter the president responded to subpoena requests. And this one from rick perry. The whistleblower who seems to be a democrat thats involved with a lot of people gave a false interpretation of the conversation. So i dont know why they would be calling rick perry. Reporter the president referred to the press availability president zelensky gave in kiev today. Impeachment wants the only thing on the president s mind.

We are having another one tomorrow. Reporter the president will meet with the vice premiere tomorrow. Its unclear how much progress was made today. But leaving the talks today treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin seemed pleased. President trump had high praise portray gowd praise portray y gowdy. Lou Turkish Forces surrounded two cities inside the syrian border. Forcing more than 60,000 people to flee the area. Erdogan is threatening to send 3. 6 million Syrian Refugees into europe if the European Union continues to call turkeys incursion into syria an invasion. They have had a deal to prevent refugees from entering european nations in exchange for Financial Assistance to help care for this to refugees. Joining us, robert obrien. As the saying goes, you are hitting the ground running and everything is moving quickly around you. Lets start with syria. The turkish government obviously has insisted on a Major Military operation and are carrying it out. What do you see and what is the view from the white house. Its great to be here with you and talk with you again. Look, we made this clear to president erdogan early on that the invasion of syria was a bad idea. We did not endorse the military operation. We are not involved in the military operation. And i dont think this is going to go well in the long run for the turks. Is no safety issue fr american soldiers. But its something we are watchi concern. Lou nato, some surprise i would assume amongst our ally in nato as well. I dont think this military operation turkey launched has been greeted with any sort of support anywhere in europe among turkeys nato allies. Other members of nato. The president made clear where we stand, and if there are a up in of things we are watching closely. That is civilians and how they are impacted by this military operation. We dont want to see a humanitarian disaster. We had a victory against the caliphate and we dont want to see that rolled back. We are concerned about the situation and watching it closely. Lou the ability, the president talking about economic sanctions and speaking very forthrightly as is his custom. He means obviously business when he told erdogan, keep our agreement, particularly visavis the kurds or there will be disastrous cobbss for the turkish economy. I think we saw that the last time there was a runin with turkey relating to pastor andrew brunson. When the president put in place the tariffs the turkish lire took a real hit. I think erdogan knows President Trump means business. If the turks dont meet their commitments and this operation continues, there is a good chance there will be economic sanctions. Well have to wait and see as the president said. One of the things the president said this afternoon, the turks are aware of this. The kurdish leaders are aware of this. The president made the United States available and the good offices of the United States available to mediate to bring this to you a swift conclusion and restore peace to the area. As the president says, well have to see how the turks respond. The kurd would like us to be involved in mediating a resolution. Well see what happens with turkey. Lou that would be in the Great American tradition in line with our history as a nation more so than adventurous militarily policies that have been followed. You are also changing the office of National Security advisor considerably, a huge staff in the white house to provide National Security council to the president. Give us your view about how you want to reorient it and wait will look like in the weeks and months ahead. We just had a great town hall meeting with all the staffers at the nfc. They are a dnsc. They are a fine group of people from the military to the state department. They work tirelessly on behalf of the president and the American People. Over the years, the job of the nsc is to coordinate policy to get the best opposites for the president of the United States and present those options to him. During the last administration the number of staffers, policy staffers at the nsc ballooned to over 200. I saw the results of that. I told our folks we want to get back to the level of staff we had during the First Bush Administration when Condoleezza Rice was the National Security advisor. That was about 100 staffers. And that was with two wars going on with iraq and afghanistan. It ballooned into a massive bureaucracy or at the white house under the last administration. We want to bring it back to historic levels. We think we can be more efficient and better serve the president with a streamlined organization. Lou all that the function of great leadership. We thank you for doing so. Robertio brian, thank you very much. Thank you, i love being here any time. Lou thanks so much. Up next, joe biden not happy with a prominent member of the leftwing media. We take up the biden complaints later in the broadcast. Also a central figure in the fisa abuse scandal says he was never interviewed by the Justice Departments Inspector General.

Lou already stocks closing higher on expectations there will be a result to these trade talks. The dow up 151 points. The s p up 19. Volume on the big board 3. 3 billion shares.

I just heard about this. They said we have nothing to do with it. Lou the president reacting to the announcement that two associates socalled Rudy Giulianis have been charged with violating Campaign Finance laws and arrested. Federal prosecutors going after the two businessmen from Eastern Europe saying they conspired to final foreign money into u. S. Elections and u. S. Politicians to buy political influence. The two men also allegedly led he an effort to remove Marie Yovanovich from her post. Despite being the target of the nice aria applications, carter page revealed he has never been interviewed by the i. G. Shore winds. Horowitz has conducted more than 100 interviews into potential fisa abuse. Page is telling fox news he is frustrated he had no interview by shore winds or his staff. Joining us is Sidney Powell, author, sydney, great to see you. Are you surprised page hasnt been interviewed by the Inspector General . Its a little odd. I dont think he was required to interview him because he was looking at origins of the fisa abuses and the madeup scenario. But i would think as a courtesy he would interview him to get ahold of the effect that it all had on him. We want to act like these are government investigations and its a matter of routine. It can destroy peoples lives. Lou its stunning, the cost that these people have had to pay. The affront to the judicial system itself or Law Enforcement that this would befall an american citizen. Lets turn to the announcement by the ukrainian president. President zelensky saying there was no blackmail. This follows his declaration there was no pressure the president. This is a clear transcript that suggested no way a threat, suggests in no way quid pro quo. Yet here we are with the dimms praying from the peaks of capitol hill, impeachment inquiry, impeachment inquiry. The democrats are running a big charade of an impeachment inquiry. There is nothing real about it. They are making it up as they go. They are changing the rules as they go. The entire ukranian thing is as big a hoax as was the russia collusion narrative. None of it is real. Lou why is the national leftwing media. I understand who they are. I do not understand being without conscience and reporting what the radical dimms are doing here. Its a clear as the president calls it, connecticu shall cn job authored by adam schiff and nancy pelosi. The National Media is literally part of the conspiracy. There are reporters paid by fusion gps to foster the russia collusion narrative. And im sure they are doing the same thing with all of this. The reporters are part of the problem. Lou some of those reporters i agree, but surely not all. There is a great tradition of independent objective journalism in this country. Has it simply dissipated into nothing but ideological propaganda . Im afraid a lot of it has. Certainly the big gray lady. The New York Times and the Washington Post have become tools of different factions in the democratic party. We have few independent journalists left like Cheryl Atkinson and yourself and sara carter who are willing to dig for the stories and find the truth. And gregg jarrett. But most of of the Mainstream Media is part of the problem. Lou its stunning that we are once again with this president having to contend with a fullon assault from one of the two great political parties. There is just no explanation for it other than banal political corruption. They planned this from before he became president. Its part of the insurance policy, part of the Mueller Investigation to hand off to the shah raised an impeachment inquiry. They are not following the law. They changed the rules to facilitate it. And they did that before this session of congress. Its all more of the same and its all a big lie. Whenever there is a republican interest associate or contact, it seems like justice moves quickly as compared to when its a democrat. To think that these two folks who are are contacts of Rudy Giuliani calling them associates as the national leftwing media did that may be quite a stretch, but well see. But to see subpoenas and violations of election laws in the Million Dollar bonds established by the judge, this is rather quick justice. I thought the days of swift justice were over in this country. Only for republican targets which it looks like these people were. We have abject documented paytoplay of foreign money into the clinton foundation. But no indictment in sight fortney of that. Not to mention the incredible irs violations there and other problems with the whole scenario. But let it be two People Associated in any way with Rudy Giuliani and ukraine and all of a sudden there is an indictment out of the Southern District of new york which james comeys daughter is a prosecutor there. Lou imagine that connection. Within the Justice Department and the judicial system. Sidney powell, thanks so much. We should point out, Rudy Giuliani, the president s personal attorney, says he will have some revelations on the case and these connections upcoming soon. Sidney thanks for being with us. Sidney powell. Up next, i will have a few thoughts about the strayed talks with china. What the cost of trade with china has been to the United States. And the prospects for that trade relationship in the decade ahead. On nancyives in the house pelosi to censure adam schiff, the head of the house appears te an orchestrated effort to subvert the president of the United States.
