Weapons. That is a great thing to say, but a lot of things have been said over the years and it turns out to be not so. Harris the president taking some questions today. In the room, my friend, chief White House Correspondent john roberts live with more on this. Good afternoon, iran may have a president , but it is the Supreme Leader who was the one with for the buck stops. And the president was targeting the antion iran, targeting ali khamenei and his office, going right to the top to target the bad behavior, and targeting some of the top military leaders, the president at the treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin at the left side of your screen saying that some of them were already in the works. A sum due to the shooting of the drone last week. We will listen to what the president says. These measures represent a strong and proportionate response to the increasingly provocative actions. We will continue to increase pressure until the regime abandons the dangerous activities and aspirations including the pursuit of nuclear weapons, increased enrichment of uranium, the development of ballistic missiles, and the support of terrorism, fueling of conflict, and belligerent acts against the United States and the allies. Remember that the president called off the retaliatory strike after that u. S. Drone attack and to the drone was brought down, because he did not think it was proportional to potentially kill Iranian Military personnel, because there was no personnel on board of the unmanned drone, the president does not want to go to war with iran, showing after the drone was shut down calling off the attack as many as 150 iranians he was told could be killed in the attack. The president says that he would prefer to hold talks with iranian leaders, whether it is the president or the Supreme Leader ayatollah khamenei, the president saying that he would hold those talks with out preconditions. But also suggesting that he has not going to sit by forever and continue to watch irans bad behavior. I look forward to discussing whatever i have to discuss with anybody who wants to speak. In the meantime, who knows what will happen, i can only tell you that we cannot ever let iran have a nuclear weapon. And it wont happen. A lot of restraint has been shown by us. A lot of restraint, and that does not mean that we will show it in the future. In addition to targeting the Supreme Leader as well as many members of the Iranian Revolutionary guard corps, top military leaders in the Iranian Military, secretary Steve Mnuchin also said later on this week they are going to target the foreign minister for sanctions, he is very prolific on twitter, likes to tweet the president , so far nothing on his twitter feed about the potential for sanctions against him, but im sure that we will hear from him at some point. Harris very interesting, john roberts, thank you very much. For more on the retired general member, a recipient of the gold star, the third highest decoration for valor in combat. Thank you for being with me. First question, and this has to do with hitting the military, because you know that they are getting the iranian Major General of the irg. The Islamic Revolutionary guard, and then you have the three other senior members. Five Naval District leaders, that sort of thing. What does that accomplish in terms of the military and the proxy military . Wow, there is a principal and strategy called Global Center of gravity. Hours as you know, harris, dead americans. America hates to see their sons and daughters coming home in body bags. But the Iranian Center of gravity is not dead iranians, it is financial. It is their economy. They stayed in power for 40 some odd years because they promised the use of iran. Half of the iranian population is younger than 35. If their future is bright, as long as they remain a cohesive society, and remember what happened in 2009 with the green revolution, blood in the streets when they began to see that contract with the ayatollah fall apart, so the idea of putting any type of sanctions particularly on the Iranian Military sends a message to the population that either they toe the line, come to the table, talk to the americans, or they will see their quality of life crumble. Time is on our side. Oil is 57 a barrel and stable. All of the advantages to the United States saying we cannot screw this up by overreacting militarily. Harris i just want to bring up, because you brought up the oil, so that u. S. Senator of information said that by 2020, the u. S. Is for the First Time Since the 1950s on track to export more energy than it imports. And increases in crude oil, natural gas, natural gas plant liquid, out going growth of consumption. That puts us also in addition to a healthy economy right now, creating jobs, and in an interesting situation. Go ahead. Our greatest advantage is not the military. We are the most successful economy on the planet. The dollar is a coin of the realm globally. And i have always wondered in past crisis, why dont we do a better job of leveraging the economic before we look at the military, because that is the greatest strength. Harris you think that we are doing it now . Absolutely. As long as we have waited, 40 years to go after the iranians and chase down their most vulnerable area, and this is the first president since 1979 to do it. Harris representative Michael Waltz may be does not agree, the republican from florida thinks that President Trump shouldve carried out the iranian air strike. Watch. I think that we should have responded, and i think that we should have responded proportionately whether that is oil platform, some of the ships that have been attacking tinkers, or those missile batteries. Of course, the president is absolutely right as commanderinchief to pull that back, but at what i think we are seeing today you think they will continue to push. Harris a difference in strategy, general . This is not to 1988. The world is not dependent like it was on the persian gulf oil. If we went to the military option this early, we would have restarted the clock. And to the use of iran, which is the most vulnerable center of gravity right now, the tables would have turned and they wouldve looked on the United States as enemies because we were striking there home turf. Lets let this play out. Time is on our side. We have the advantage. All of the advantages are with us. And were we to strike too soon, then this would have turned into a military talk, and then all bets are off. Harris obviously the government, the military they see as the enemy, so you are talking about the people in the jobs and the businesses and the schools and trying to live a life, if they can look at us as not the enemy, that is a goal and all of this. We might have missed an opportunity with the green revolution, but you are saying that it can come back. President trump today also addressed his relationship with north korean dictator kim jong un saying that they have a friendly relationship coming after chairman received a letter from the president this weekend. What is your reaction . Well, this is phase two of economic warfare, north korea is obviously much, much different strategic situation. What is their vulnerability . Their vulnerability again is a collapsing economy, and Economic System that does not work. A kleptocracy that survives on blackmailing the rest of the world just to have enough food for their people to eat. And the president has this right. Put your thumb on the north Korean Leader and offer him a better opportunity to break out of this horrible condition north korea is in. And the president chooses to do it through personal diplomacy, perfectly fine. We have tried to use the International Stage to do it in the past. We have tried it for 70 years ended as failed, lets give it a shot. Harris next up, japan, the g20, i will have you back and we can continue the conversation. Thank you. Thank you, harris. Harris new details that we are learning a 56yearold 50 , new york, man died last week while in the Dominican Republic. He is now the 12th american to have died in that country since last june. Amid growing questions over how the country is handling those incidents, investigations, some of them. Jeff paul is live in the dr, capital city. Jeff. Guess, harris, local Officials Say that the latest man to have died has respiratory issues on the 11th of june, and then passed away about a week later on june 17th. At the moment, bringing the number 212 as many as 12 americans who have died in the dr, in a span of about 12 months starting back in june 2018. The dominican government reports that most have died from either heart attack or respiratory problems, while this is happening one of the resorts in the dr making some changes. The Hard Rock Hotel where two of the 12 have died says that it is removing liquor dispensers. The resort is also bringing in an American Health facility to make sure that its Onsite Health clinic is up to u. S. And International Standards paid when we sat down with the tour administrator, he said that there is no mystery surroundinge deaths. The investigation shows otherwise. He says appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken. Why do we request the innervation of the fbi . Because that Dominican Republic has nothing to hide. And we want the truth of the origin of the deaths even though the autopsies are completed to come to light. Families who have lost a loved one saying that they are still very suspicious about what is going on, they do not buy the explanation to the situation, it has been an exaggeration. I mean it is absolutely disgraceful. It is disgraceful to dismiss the concerns of the families with everything that is going on over there. There is something not right with the story, again. I mean, how many more americans are going to have to die before something is done . We could get some more clarity next month, thats when the result of three toxicology test that the fbi is assisting with, those results could be due sometime in july. Harris we will stay on the news coming out of the dr, thank you very much. Mayor pete booted judge confronting racial tensions after a Fatal Police Shooting in his own town. And from the campaign trail, now emailed 2020 democratic supporters. A line from that email, it is clear that we need to implement bolder and more aggressive actions moving forward. Could this pose a larger issue . We will look at it, plus, Bernie Sanders with a new plan to cancel all 1. 6 trillion of Student Loan Debt in the United States. It is even more ambitious than some of the plans from the 2020 rivals. Are the democrats just trying to out progress each other . Is that a verb . It is now. We will make a full and complete education a human right in america to all of our people. I had a heart problem. I was told to begin my aspirin regimen, and i just didnt listen.

Dont just have a moral compass when you leave this place. Harris tensions high last night at a town hall with mayor Pete Buttigieg in his hometown of south bend, indiana, he took a break from campaigning to meet with his constituents after a white south Bend Police Officer shot and killed a 54yearold black man. At issue are the police cameras. They were not on. Buttigieg says he had to face the issue head on even if it means risking his standings in the democratic race. I dont know if it is smart or not, i dont know if it is strategic or not. But it is my city. And i have a relationship with everybody in the city. Who looks to the city to keep them safe. Harris clearly shaken they are. In an email to supporters, mayor Pete Buttigieg called this a painful but needed conversation. Bottom line is we should not be punishing people for getting a higher education. It is time to hit the reset button. On the proposal that we introduced today, all student debt would be canceled in six months. Harris senator Bernie Sanders unveiled his universal Student Debt Relief plan today, the proposal aims to cancel Student Loan Debt by every american, for them at a cost of 1. 6 trillion. Bernie sanders plan covers more people than a similar proposal from senator Elizabeth Warren. The two are competing, obviously for the same block of liberal leaning voters in 2020. Kristin fisher is live with the news in washington. Senator sanders is calling this a truly revolutionary proposal. Not only would it erase all Student Loan Debt in america, it would also make 4year public colleges and University Tuition free. The big question of course would be how would he pay for it . Sanders says that wall street should foot the bill. Our proposal, would cost 2. 2 trillion over ten years, will be fully paid for by a tax on wall street speculation, similar to what exists in dozens of countries around the world. The American People bailed out wall street, now it is time for wall street to come to the aid of the middle class of this country. Bernie sanders plan goes further than what Elizabeth Warren is proposing, her plan would erase most, but not all Student Loan Debt and paid for by the wealthy, not wall street. Lets start with a wealth ta tax. Two stands on the top onetenth of 1 . We can cancel Student Loan Debt for 95 of the folks who have i it. The competing policy proposals come days before the first debate in miami as senator sanders and Elizabeth Warren fight for the far left lane. Sanders lead is shrinking in the polls. Once a solid number two, sanders is slipping at the same time Elizabeth Warren is rising. But dont expect any facetoface fireworks, they will be debating on different nights, warren on wednesday, sanders on thursday, joined by 18 other candidates. Harris, you know it is a crowded field. For many of the lesserknown candidates, it may be their only chance to really stand out from the pack. Harris thank you very much, and want to bring them bret baier, great to see you. Its kind of like a dance who will out lean left more than the person next to them on the dance floor. That is right, you have these big priorities, harris, that all of these candidates seem to be getting into. The green new deal, big infrastructure project, medicare for all, and now eliminating student debt overall by senator sanders. That is 1. 6 trillion. He says 2. 2 trillion in the whole package. You had that to the other priorities, you have some real money there. Now, the president is not campaigning on debt and deficit issues, at least not yet. And he has not wanted to focus on that, but as a country up there in the dome behind me and, eventually you will have to deal with that in reality. Of where the money is coming from. Harris yes, real money, real questions of how to pay for it. You and i often have conversations about who the audience is for certain situations. So is the goal to get the most millennials . Is the goal to get to voters who are or may be moderate who could be swayed in that way . What is the goal . I think for Bernie Sanders it is to jumpstart his support. He has had a little bit of a lull. And Elizabeth Warren has captured some of that talk about policy that young people especially want to hear. So i think that Bernie Sanders probably trying to shore up his millennial base. He had a big chunk of it in 2016. He is trying to do it again. Harris are there enough of the leftleaning people such that the more progressives in the party or some of them are more attracted to what President Trump is doing now with prison reform, the economy, so on an
