00:20Are you aware of reports that Pakistan are allowing their bases to be used to park Iranian
00:28aircraft, General Cain?
00:33Sir, I've seen one report on that.
00:37Well, is it accurate?
00:38Sir, I think based on the variety of classification matters.
00:44Let me just say, do you agree if it is accurate, that is sort of inconsistent with it being a
00:48peace mediator?
00:50Sir, I wouldn't want to comment on that based on the ongoing negotiations and Pakistan's role.
00:55Secretary Hextus, if the mediator is allowing reconnaissance aircraft in Iran to be parked in Pakistani air bases, do you
01:05think that's consistent with being a fair mediator?
01:10Again, I wouldn't want to get in the middle of these negotiations.
01:13Well, I do.
01:14I want to get in the middle of these negotiations.
01:16I don't trust Pakistan as far as I can throw them.
01:20If they actually do have Iranian aircraft parked in Pakistan bases to protect Iranian military assets, that tells me we
01:30should be looking maybe for somebody else to mediate.
01:33No wonder this damn thing is going nowhere.
01:36So, you know, I appreciate all you've done.
01:40I'm very supportive of it.
01:41But when it comes to Pakistan and China, enough already.
01:45Thank you, sir.
01:47General Dempsey, do you believe the Iranians have been trying to build a bomb or a nuclear power program for
01:52peaceful purposes all these years?
01:55I believe they have a militarization aspiration.
02:01Who's the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, Secretary Carter?
02:08Who calls the shots?
02:10The supreme leader.
02:12Who decides if Iran goes to war?
02:16The supreme leader, right?
02:19I believe so, yes.
02:20Who decides if they try to break out?
02:23The supreme leader?
02:25Yes.
02:27Does the supreme leader's religious views compel him over time to destroy Israel and attack America?
02:37I don't know.
02:38I don't know the man.
02:39I read what he says.
02:40I read what he says.
02:42I know the man.
02:43I know what he wants.
02:46And if you don't know that, this is not a good deal.
02:51Could we win a war with Iran?
02:55Who wins the war between us and Iran?
02:58Who wins?
03:01Do you have any doubt who wins?
03:03No, the United States is not a good deal?
03:05The United States is not a good deal.
03:05We win.
03:08Is it your testimony here that Saudi Arabia is okay with this deal and they've committed
03:14to you they're not going to feel compelled to get a bomb because of this deal?
03:19No, my testimony is that I can't speak for Saudi Arabia.
03:22Well, you have spoken for Saudi Arabia all over the American media reassuring everybody
03:27in this committee they're okay.
03:29I reported what they said.
03:32I reported what they said.
03:33Do you think they were lying to you?
03:36Or do you think they were wanting weapons?
03:38Of course not.
03:38Of course not.
03:38Do you think they were telling you what you wanted to hear to get the weapons?
03:40It's a little bit like what is the Ayatollah thinking.
03:42I only read what he says.
03:43Okay.
03:44All right.
03:45Who's your counterpart, Mr. Moniz?
03:47What's his name?
03:50Mr. Salahi.
03:51Have you read what he said on July 22nd, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute,
03:58about the side deal?
04:01He said, let's see, we have reached an understanding with the IAEA, God willing.
04:09There will be very positive results.
04:11We do not accept the PMD arrangement.
04:18We don't agree with that.
04:21And we reject the concept.
04:24What kind of arrangement has he made to make him feel so positive?
04:30First of all, I had not read it.
04:31That's the first question.
04:32I'm going to give it to you.
04:33You don't have to answer.
04:35Would it be surprising to you that he's telling the Iranian people, don't worry about this side deal.
04:41We're going to get a good outcome?
04:43I assume what he is suggesting is that there were no nuclear materials in Parchin, and that remains to be
04:51seen.
04:52I assume that he's saying that we've reached an arrangement that we're okay with.
04:58That's what I assume.
04:59But the difference does matter.
05:00I would read it differently just from hearing it.
05:02Okay.
05:02Well, we don't know what he means, and apparently we don't know what the IAEA wants.
05:07I know what he means.
05:08He means he's reached an agreement where they don't have to worry about an inspection.
05:11And I think the Ayatollah will eventually acquire a nuclear weapon unless somebody stops him.
05:17Do our allies in Israel across all party lines believe this is a bad deal, Secretary Kerry?
05:25No.
05:26Not everybody believes it's a bad deal.
05:28Name one political party in Israel.
05:30Oh, political party.
05:31Yes, people who are actually governing the country.
05:35Name one political party in Israel that is for this deal.
05:39I didn't hear you say political party.
05:41I'm sorry.
05:41Political parties are opposed.
05:43Every political party in Israel is opposed to this deal.
05:47So when you speak about Israel in this deal, it's not Bibi, it's everybody.
05:53No, Senator, it's not.
05:55It's actually not everybody.
05:58Ami Ayalan, the former head of Shin Bet, believes.
06:01Not a political party.
06:03No, but you said everybody in Israel.
06:05The time has expired.
06:06I don't think we, Senator Cruz.
06:10All right, Mr. Hook, is Assad a friend of the United States?
06:15No.
06:16Do you consider him a war criminal?
06:18Yes.
06:19Okay.
06:19Do you think is, is he aligned with Iran?
06:24Iran has been supporting Assad.
06:26Without Iran helping Assad, he would not be around because Hezbollah came to his aid when nobody else would.
06:32Do you agree with that?
06:34Yes.
06:35Iran was an early supporter of Assad.
06:37Well, Russia and Iran keep Assad functioning.
06:41Yeah.
06:42You're a good man.
06:42You're a good choice for this.
06:43So my questions are really not about you and your policies.
06:47It's about this president's policies.
06:49I could not agree more with Senator Markey.
06:52This is the most screwed up decision I've seen since I've been in Congress.
06:56When the president said today, Syria, the invasion of Turkey, Turkey's invasion of Syria is really of no consequence to
07:05us.
07:05Do you know why we sanctioned Turkey, if that's true, Mr. Hook?
07:11The president did threaten sanctions on Friday and has imposed some of them on Monday.
07:16And I cheered them on.
07:17I don't know how in the world Pompeo and Pence bring an end of the bloodshed before they leave the
07:23president's Syria.
07:24If Syria wants to fight for the land, that's up to Turkey and Syria.
07:28So I view the situation on the Turkish border with Syria to be, for the United States, strategically brilliant.
07:37I don't see anything brilliant about this.
07:40Do you believe the Kurds are safer today than they were before Turkey's invasion?
07:44That's a question for Ambassador Jeffrey.
07:47Okay.
07:47I understand there's a member briefing happening.
07:49I'm the special representative for Iran.
07:51Fair enough, fair enough.
07:51And I can answer the Iran questions on Syria, but...
07:54Okay, fair enough.
07:54Okay.
07:54Do you see Iran moving in to take the oil fields in Syria if we withdraw all of our forces?
08:01I have not seen any intelligence on that yet, but that doesn't...
08:04Do you think that would be a logical move for Iran if America abandons Syria?
08:12Iran's interests in Syria are mostly around supporting Assad and creating a strategic...
08:17Well, if the oil fields are there for the taking and we leave, what's the likelihood that Iran would go
08:23in,
08:23and would it matter?
08:25That's not something which I'm at liberty to speculate on.
08:29Okay.
08:29Well, I'll speculate.
08:30Iran is massing at the borders, I speak.
08:33If we withdraw all of our forces and abandon the oil fields, Iran will surely go in and seize the
08:38oil fields.
08:39It will undercut the maximum pressure campaign, and our friends in Israel will be in a world of hurt.
08:44Do you agree with this?
08:45If Iran gets stronger in Syria, it's to the detriment of Israel.
08:50Yes.
08:51Do you agree that it is in our national security interest to make sure that we have a partnership in
08:57Syria that will contain Iran's ambitions?
09:02Yes, that is our strategy, to reverse Iran's power projection and to deny them the revenues they need to run
09:08their Syria policy.
09:08Do you agree with me that if ISIS comes roaring back, it will be very difficult to contain...
09:14The Kurds will have a hard time fighting Turkey and taking care of the ISIS prisoners.
09:22That's a bad spot for the Kurds to be in.
09:24Do you agree?
09:25In terms of the position the Kurds are in, it's a question for Jim Jeffery.
09:29Yeah.
09:29Well, who would be the biggest winner of a breakdown in Syria?
09:34Would it be the Iranians?
09:36If there's a vacuum created by an American withdrawal, do you see Iran as a potential big winner?
09:42So I think we need to...
09:44This is obviously a very fluid situation.
09:46We don't want anything done in Syria to be to the detriment of our Iran policy.
09:51Okay, now our Iran policy is to contain Iran, reduce their ability to project power and create upheaval.
09:59Do you agree with that?
10:00I didn't hear the last part.
10:01To do what?
10:01To create upheaval.
10:04Yes, we are trying to minimize Iran's ability to do that.
10:06Do you agree that if they seize the oil fields in Syria, they will be stronger and have more resources,
10:13not less?
10:14I don't know the odds of Iran taking the oil fields in Syria.
10:17But I can say that, so what we have tried to do is that Iran does try to use...
10:21It's a simple question.
10:22If they did seize the oil fields in Syria, would it help their regime in terms of their capability?
10:30If they're able to get more revenue, then that's always a bad thing for them.
10:34All I can say, that's not a hard question.
10:36The answer is yes.
10:37Yes.
10:37So, my view is that the biggest winner of this decision by the president, if he follows through
10:44with it, to abandon Syria will be Iran, ISIS, and the biggest loser is going to be our Kurdish
10:51allies who fought bravely with us, our friends in Israel.
10:55And do you see Turkey's actions going into Syria as undercutting our policies toward Iran?
11:05Our diplomacy...
11:07So, I would say our troops in the Northeast are there to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS.
11:13Our diplomats working on Syria are there to...
11:16Let's just talk about the troops are there to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS by partnering with the Kurds.
11:22Isn't that correct?
11:23Syrian Democratic Forces.
11:25Beyond the ISIS mission and how it's accomplished...
11:29But we're not there in large enough numbers.
11:31Right.
11:31We're there in hundreds.
11:33It's the thousands of Kurdish fighters and Arab fighters and the Syrian Democratic Forces that we rely upon.
11:39Do you agree with that?
11:40That's a question, I think, for the person...
11:43I am the U.S. Special Representative for Iran.
11:45I'm happy to speak to the Iran question.
11:47I'll end this.
11:47I ask you a very simple question.
11:51Does Erdogan's invasion of Syria, putting our Kurdish allies at risk, driving President
11:59Trump out of Syria in terms of our military presence, do you think, over time, that will
12:05inure to the benefit of Iran?
12:07I believe that the strategy that we have put in place will accomplish our objective to deny
12:13Iran the revenue...
12:14Does your strategy include allowing Erdogan to slaughter the Kurds?
12:21That is not part of our strategy.
12:23Does your strategy include leaving the oil fields in Syria for the taking by Iran?
12:28I have not heard any proposal to enable Iran to take oil fields in Syria.
12:36Why do you think Fox News had the criteria, the top 10, with 17 candidates now in this race?
12:41I think they're worried about television, the crowded field.
12:44I'm worried about democracy.
12:46I could care less about television.
12:48I don't care if they've got a problem getting 16 people on the stage.
12:52Break it in eight and eight.
12:54I do know this.
12:55The day you determine eligibility to get in a debate based on national polling, you change the
13:00dynamic of the early primary process that served my party well.
13:03You're destroying the ability of a retail politician, a somewhat well-funded campaign to take off based on retail politics.
13:13The New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina voter that requires you to come to small gatherings to answer hard questions, they're
13:22replaced by a national pollster.
13:24This is a very bad idea.
13:26I don't care what kind of problem they have regarding their television.
13:30I care about democracy and we're about to lose something that stood the test of time.
13:35Retail politicking in early states that are small enough where you can make a difference based on who you are
13:41and what you believe.
13:42And yet you appear on Fox News often.
13:44Yeah.
13:44Do you think the network has undue influence in this process?
13:47I think the fact that 75% of Republican primary voters watch Fox makes sense to me.
13:52I love Fox News.
13:54I don't like the idea of excluding people based on national polling because you change the early primary process.
14:02At the end of the day, Fox News is the primary source of news for most primary voters.
14:07My concern is that if you say you can only be in a debate based on national poll numbers, you're
14:14taking away from the early primary process, which is an antidote to big money.
14:18The only thing left in the system as an antidote to big money is Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
14:25And I just said something.
14:27So when he first got elected in January, we met, you know, biggest comeback ever.
14:34We talked about like.
14:35You think so really?
14:37I didn't feel it was a comeback.
14:38I didn't feel it was a comeback actually.
14:39So.
14:39Because the first one was.
14:41The bottom line is we talked about a drug caliphate in our backyard.
14:45You know, we had Venezuela, we have Cuba, we have Colombia in our backyard.
14:54And these three countries have been condemned ever since I've been in politics.
15:00Joe Biden put a $25 billion bounty on Madura's head.
15:06Chris Smith, the day he got inaugurated, said, I hope Trump will hold Madura's feet to the fire.
15:14He did.
15:14So what has he done?
15:16He's going to clear our backyard of a drug caliphate, countries run by narco-terrorist dictators,
15:23who murder, rape, send drugs into our country to kill thousands of our citizens.
15:29To my democratic friends, you should be celebrating this.
15:33When bin Laden went down, I was the first to applaud President Obama.
15:38This was one of the most sophisticated military operations in the history of the country.
15:44What they were able to do was amazing.
15:47They knew we were coming.
15:48We had a good part of the Navy.
15:52And they were able to capture this man alive.
15:55No military in the world could have done it.
15:58And as to this commander in chief, he did something people talked about doing.
16:03You just wait for Cuba.
16:05Cuba is a communist dictatorship that's killed priests and nuns.
16:11They've preyed on their own people.
16:13Their days are numbered.
16:15We're going to wake up one day, I hope in 26, in our backyard,
16:19we're going to have allies in these countries doing business with America,
16:24not narco-terrorist dictators killing Americans.
16:27This is a big frigging day.
16:29And everybody in the world is thinking differently than they were just a few days ago.
16:35Because of what you did.
