Fox news chief White House Correspondent john roberts with our report. Reporter lou, the president today slammed the Paris Climate Accord as a bad deal for america, one that would give other countries an economic advantage over the United States. Something he said as president he will not stand for. In order to fulfill my solemn duty to protect america and its citizens, the United States will withdraw [applause] from the Paris Climate Accord. Reporter with the formality of the rose garden around him, President Trump today put the world and congress on notice that the u. S. Will only sign onto a deal thats good for america and good for American Workers. Im willing to immediately work with Democratic Leaders to either negotiate our way back into paris under the terms that are fair to the United States and its workers or to negotiate a new deal that protects our country and its taxpayers. Reporter in a half hour speech, President Trump outlined what he said would be the economic burden, pence and job loss from expense and job loss from staying in the paris accord. Teslas ceo, elon musk who stands to gain from the subsidies contained in the Paris Agreement resigned from white house Advisory Boards tweeting, quote and departing president ial councils. Climb change is real. Leaving paris is not good for america or world. House speaker paul ryan, on the other hand, praised the move in a statement saying, quote i commend President Trump for fulfilling his commitment to the American People and withdrawing from this bad deal. In europe leaders with whom President Trump met just last week all but mocked him. Translator the americans cant just get out of the agreement. Mr. Trump thinks that because he does not get close enough to thes doiers to dossiers to comprehensively understanding them. Reporter kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov saying, quote president putin signed this convention in paris. Russia attaches great significance to it. At the same time, the white house moved to mend some fences with russia, setting plans to return to russian compounds on marylands or shores. President obama ordered the diplomats to vacate back in december. And for the first time today, russian president Vladimir Putin acknowledged that Russian Hackers whom putin described as, quote, patriots may have tried to influence the u. S. Election in Donald Trumps favor, though he insisted there was no official government involvement. Translator if they are patriots, they start to to contribute their opinions in order to fight against those who speak ill against russia. Theoretically, its possible. We dont engage in that on a tate level. Reporter President Trump appears to have reinvigorated a base that was beginning to grow weary of the daily scandals that have besieged the white house. And the president made no apology for pulling out of the accord saying he was elected to represent people in places like pittsburgh and not paris. Lou . Lou john, thank you. Words that will probably live for quite a while. Pittsburgh, not paris. Well have reaction from white house counselor Kellyanne Conway coming up here tonight, and our first guest tonight has been a longstanding critic of the Paris Climate Accord. He says mr. Trumps decision tos greater economic opportunity, cheaper, more Flexible Energy choices. Joining me now, senator mike lee. Hes the chairman of the Senate Steering committee, a member of the judiciary committee, and he has authored the new book written out of history the forgotten founders who fought Big Government. Great to have you with us. Congratulations on the book. Thank you. Lou lets turn, if i may, first to the withdrawal by the president of the United States from the accord. A wonderful decision. Look, pittsburgh before paris. Its going to go down in history as one of the great political quotes of our time. This was undoubtedly not only good messaging, but the right decision. The American People deserve better than this. Barack obama knew what he was doing. When he negotiated a deal that he knew had not a prayer of being ratified in the form of a treaty by the United States senate, he negotiated it the way he did knowing full well it could never become law of the land as a treaty. So easy come, easy go. This was never binding in the first place lou thats what he said about the iranian deal that he also didnt take to the congress. Thats right. He knew the same thing both times. Weve allowed too much power to be concentrated in president s, and President Trump righted a wrong committed by the Previous Administration today. Lou and even though there was all sorts of noise from the left, from the dems, you know, they look so small now when they are competing with the president who outlines his reasons, states his purpose and says clearly and unequivocally to his constituents who are the American Workers, the american taxpayers this one is for you, for america first, for our sovereignty. I mean, only fools would think they could compete with that kind of reasoning and that kind of language. Especially whereas here weve got an American People who increasingly are understanding the connection between federal regulation and job growth. Theyre understanding the connection between 2 trillion of Regulatory Compliance costs and who bears those costs. Its not big, corporate fat cats. The American Worker pays higher prices on goods and services and pays for these costs with diminished wages, unemployment and underemployment. President trump stood up for them today, and he should be applauded for this. Lou well, and applauded he was in the rose garden. I mean, that was a group of people, audience to the president , i mean, they were unified, they were obviously energized by what he was saying and absolutely onboard. There was no Division Even remotely apparent today in the white house or in that group of people. These and it was a wonderful piece of imagery for this white house which suggests to me that they are making important communication turns here that will have lasting benefits to the president and his policies. Yeah, i think thats right. I thought it was significant that you saw a number of members of his cabinet and senior staff who were there not only for perception, but also doing interviews afterwards defending him. And their applause was echoed and magnified many times over by everyday, American People, hard working americans everywhere whose rights were defended by this, whose Economic Freedom was protected. Lou 3 trillion, the cost of this idiot agreement that obama led us into. Senator, ive got to ask you, is there anything that president obama did in eight years that wasnt destructive of the economy, our way of life . I mean, there are questions you simply have to ask at some point in his decisions and his policies whose side was he on . Yeah. I think thats right. And, look, im sure we could find something he did lou doesnt come readily to mind. Not to me. This one was really bad. This one was particularly bad. Lou yeah. And in this case, he knew that it would have the potential not only to divide americans, but also potentially to harm americans. Lou well, americans have, on occasion, been divided as you document in written off the history the forgotten founders who fought Big Government. And were going to start with one of your favorites. And, by the way, this is the book. Senator lee has written a very important book which we recommend to you highly. Aaron burr. Youve got to be kidding. Fighting Big Government and executive abuse of power . When aaron burr was the Vice President of the United States under thomas jefferson, he presided as the president of the senate over some impeachment trials of some of Thomas Jeffersons enemies, and he conducted those trials with due process. He was determined to stand up for the rights of the accused. He did this in a way that ended up infuriating jefferson. And jefferson, later when aaron burr was no longer the Vice President , had burr prosecuted for treason, a capital offense. But for the fact that the constitution contains special protections for those accused of treason, aaron burr might well have lost his life to thomas jefferson. Lou well, its a fascinating book. Again, i want to say we recommend it to you highly. Senator mike lee has written it. And i think its a fascinating book, and its a delight to think that its been since the inception of the republic that weve been somewhat squalid in our politics on occasion and have overcome it. For some reason, that seems to me to be important, an important reminder these days. But, you know, what also occurred is the conservatives have been fighting Big Government for, since the founding. It hasnt worked. Is there is it a time for people to change their strategy and their approach . Because we really do need limited government, and we really do need smaller government. How do we get there . They didnt call it conservative Government Back then, they called it common sense. They called it liberty, they called it lou i call everything i agree with common sense. Exactly. Our economy has grown, our population has boomed. Many of the issues that we face today are very, very similar. Theyre very closely mirrored, those that weve faced since the revolution, since the time of the founding. I tell story in this book about some of the Unsung Heroes whose stories are inconsistent with the modern progressive message. Lou and a read, a great read, it is. Again, we recommend it to you highly. Senator, great to have you here. Thank you. Lou enjoyed talking with you. And raising our hopes for the survival of the republic as well. Were coming right back.

Lou russian president putin today decry what he called the russophobic hysteria in the United States, a new term for, as far as i can tell, the russian president , russophobia. Putin telling journalists that antirussian sentiments in the United States have prevented cooperation on fighting radical islamist terrorism. President trump also tweeting, quote the big story is the unmasking and surveillance of people that took place during the Obama Administration. Is he right . Well, joining me to discuss the latest developments in the obama spy and unmasking scandal, the leftwing medias irresponsible focus instead on allegations of russian collusion for which there is no evidence at all is the chief operating officer at circa news, john solomon. John, great to see you again. Thanks, lou. Lou lets start. The president has editor telling everyone and its quite a few Million People, 30 Million People sure. Lou that the big story is the obama scandal. Yeah. And, you know, i think theres a growing number of people on both sides of the aisle that are agreeing that what were learning about Civil Liberties violentses by the Intelligence Community during violences by the Intelligence Community is serious enough to really warrant a look now. I have no illusion that the russia part of this is not going to go away. There are serious issues to be resolved there, but i think a lot of people, the New York Times, the washington post, your own james rosen at fox news are all digging in and, i think, doing a good job of showing there are real issues here. And it was good to see the president acknowledge that as well. Lou james rosen, for example, knows what its like to be spied upon and to have his Civil Liberties violated by a justice department. That of eric holder, we should point out, and president obama. Obama himself is now perilously close to being immersed in this scandal. I mean, with the addition of Samantha Power to the unmasking, if you will, subpoenas as a person of interest yeah. Lou this is getting broader, and it is getting perplexing which suggests that we are a long ways from understanding what really happened in this administration when it comes to surveillance of u. S. Citizens. Youre right. And, quite frankly, president obama is really at the front end of these questions, because in 2011 he changed the rules that made unmaasinging and deminimization much easier for the Intelligence Community. And it set in motion what we now are seeing play out in public. At some point when you know john brennan, Samantha Power and susan rice had access to unmasked americans intelligence, the next obvious question is did they brief the president . Did the president benefit from that . Im certain as the summer winds on, were going to get questions like that, and hopefully, a few answers. Lou and upcoming as well is the interrogation, if you will [laughter] the testimony of the former director of the fbi. Sure. Lou i want to get your sense of that, because it seems to me that as one looks at the record of director comey amongst the first questions that should be asked by the panel is how is it you did not bring scandal after scandal after scandal to resolution and left open files and open cases that look for all the world like political, if you will, subterfuge rather than investigative success . June 8th is going to be a very big day for james comey to come back to the hill and testify before the senate. And i think its going to be a little bit, i think it could be comey versus comey, which i think some of the words he uttered previously are going to be contrasted with what he utters that day. He previously testified the fbi never felt pressured, and now we have leaks suggesting he felt pressured by the president. So which one is it . Which testimony was accurate . I think youre going to see a lot of that in that interrogation, as you said, on june 8th. Its going to to be a very big and interesting day for reporters and for the american public. Lou and hopefully, for the Public Interest and that of the country, because we have a lot of congressmen and a lot of senators who are getting waylaid by what seems at least to many to be tangential issues rather than the very important work of National Security, Foreign Policy and, yes, even domestic policy. John solomon, as always, great to have you with us. Thanks, lou. Lou thanks so much. Be sure to vote in tonights poll. The question is, does your week seem all the better because the dems, globalists and enviroleft are having a lousy week . Yes, w
