WEBVTT

00:00:07.767 --> 00:00:08.434
>> Harris: THE PRESIDENT OF

00:00:08.435 --> 00:00:09.168
THE UNITED STATES, LIVE RIGHT

SECURITY ADVISOR, O'BRIEN, WITH

00:00:13.239 --> 00:00:13.972
HIM NOW.

00:00:13.973 --> 00:00:16.642
THEY HAVE JUST EXITED MARINE

00:00:16.643 --> 00:00:16.909
ONE.

00:00:16.910 --> 00:00:18.243
THEY HAVE LANDED IN SAN DIEGO,

00:00:18.244 --> 00:00:18.644
CALIFORNIA.

00:00:18.645 --> 00:00:20.579
THEY ARE HEADED TO THE BORDER,

00:00:20.580 --> 00:00:22.548
AND THE PRESIDENT OF THIS YEAR

00:00:22.549 --> 00:00:23.182
HAS TALKED ABOUT BUILDING

00:00:23.183 --> 00:00:25.717
SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES ALONG THE

00:00:25.718 --> 00:00:26.118
BORDER WALL.

00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:29.655
LET'S WATCH.

00:00:29.656 --> 00:00:30.189
>> President Trump:

00:00:30.190 --> 00:00:30.956
SOCIAL SECURITY ADVISOR, HE HAS

00:00:30.957 --> 00:00:34.359
WORKED WITH ME FOR QUITE A WHILE

00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:35.794
NOW, ON HOSTAGES.

00:00:35.795 --> 00:00:37.429
WE'VE HAD A TREMENDOUS TRACK

00:00:37.430 --> 00:00:39.164
RECORD WITH RESPECT TO HOSTAGES.

00:00:39.165 --> 00:00:40.566
ROBERT CAN TELL YOU ABOUT IT.

00:00:40.567 --> 00:00:42.968
BUT WE'VE BROUGHT LOT OF PEOPLE

00:00:42.969 --> 00:00:45.604
BACK HOME AND WE HAVEN'T SPENT

00:00:45.605 --> 00:00:46.605
ANY MONEY.

00:00:46.606 --> 00:00:47.339
SO THAT'S GOOD, BECAUSE YOU

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:49.208
CAN'T DO THE MONEY THING.

00:00:49.209 --> 00:00:50.442
IF YOU DO THE MONEY THING, ALL

00:00:50.443 --> 00:00:51.944
OF THE SUDDEN IT WILL DOUBLE AND

00:00:51.945 --> 00:00:53.679
TRIPLE AND QUADRUPLE.

00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:56.215
YOU'LL SAY, "WHAT'S GOING ON?"

00:00:56.216 --> 00:00:56.882
ROBERT HAS BEEN FANTASTIC.

00:00:56.883 --> 00:00:59.785
WE KNOW EACH OTHER WELL.

00:00:59.786 --> 00:01:01.320
MAYBE ROBERT WILL SAY A FEW

00:01:01.321 --> 00:01:01.854
WORDS.

00:01:01.855 --> 00:01:03.055
>> THANK YOU.

00:01:03.056 --> 00:01:05.257
IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO SERVE WITH

00:01:05.258 --> 00:01:07.292
THE PRESIDENT, AND I LOOK

00:01:07.293 --> 00:01:09.428
FORWARD TO ANOTHER YEAR AND A

00:01:09.429 --> 00:01:10.762
HALF OF PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.

00:01:10.763 --> 00:01:14.433
WE'VE HAD TREMENDOUS FOREIGN

00:01:14.434 --> 00:01:15.400
POLICY SUCCESSES UNDER HIS

00:01:15.401 --> 00:01:16.101
LEADERSHIP.

00:01:16.102 --> 00:01:16.969
I EXPECT THOSE WILL CONTINUE.

00:01:16.970 --> 00:01:18.437
YOU GOT A NUMBER OF CHALLENGES,

00:01:18.438 --> 00:01:20.639
BUT THERE'S A GREAT TEAM IN

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.408
PLACE WITH SECRETARY POMPEO AND

00:01:23.409 --> 00:01:23.876
SECRETARY ESPER,

00:01:23.877 --> 00:01:24.610
SECRETARY MNUCHIN, AND OTHERS.

00:01:24.611 --> 00:01:25.878
I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH

00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.613
THEM AND THE PRESIDENT TO KEEP

00:01:27.614 --> 00:01:28.780
AMERICA SAFE AND CONTINUE TO

00:01:28.781 --> 00:01:37.155
REBUILD OUR MILITARY AND REALLY

00:01:37.156 --> 00:01:37.856
GET US BACK TO A PEACE THROUGH

00:01:37.857 --> 00:01:38.557
STRENGTH POLICY THAT WILL KEEP

00:01:38.558 --> 00:01:39.258
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SAFE FROM

00:01:39.259 --> 00:01:39.958
THE MANY CHALLENGES AROUND THE

00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:40.392
WORLD TODAY.

00:01:40.393 --> 00:01:41.159
REPORTED BACK MR. O'BRIEN, WHAT

00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:42.394
ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR THE

00:01:42.395 --> 00:01:44.563
PRESIDENT ABOUT THE SITUATION IN

00:01:44.564 --> 00:01:45.297
SAUDI ARABIA, AND ANY POSSIBLE

00:01:45.298 --> 00:01:46.965
MILITARY STRIKE ON IRAN?

00:01:46.966 --> 00:01:49.368
>> WE ARE LOOKING AT THOSE

00:01:49.369 --> 00:01:50.235
ISSUES NOW.

00:01:50.236 --> 00:01:51.770
I THINK SECRETARY POMPEO IS IN

00:01:51.771 --> 00:01:53.839
SAUDI ARABIA NOW, OR IS JUST

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:54.973
COMING HOME.

00:01:54.974 --> 00:01:56.074
ANY ADVICE I GIVE THE PRESIDENT

00:01:56.075 --> 00:01:58.777
WILL BE SOMETHING I GIVE HIM

00:01:58.778 --> 00:02:00.712
CONFIDENTIALLY, BUT WE WILL

00:02:00.713 --> 00:02:01.847
MONITOR THAT SITUATION CLOSELY.

00:02:01.848 --> 00:02:03.582
>> Reporter: MR. PRESIDENT,

00:02:03.583 --> 00:02:05.450
ANY UPDATE ON YOUR THINKING?

00:02:05.451 --> 00:02:06.151
>> President Trump: NOTHING TO

00:02:06.152 --> 00:02:07.219
REPORT YET.

00:02:07.220 --> 00:02:08.587
WE WILL PROBABLY BE SPEAKING TO

00:02:08.588 --> 00:02:11.123
YOU TOMORROW, MAYBE THE NEXT

00:02:11.124 --> 00:02:11.423
DAY.

00:02:11.424 --> 00:02:13.191
NOTHING TO REPORT.

00:02:13.192 --> 00:02:15.360
BUT IT HASN'T CHANGED VERY MUCH.

00:02:15.361 --> 00:02:17.396
I THINK MY THINKING PRETTY MUCH

00:02:17.397 --> 00:02:18.997
REMAINS THE SAME.

00:02:18.998 --> 00:02:19.765
WE HAVEN'T LEARNED MUCH THAT WE

00:02:19.766 --> 00:02:20.799
DIDN'T KNOW.

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:26.138
BUT THERE IS A CERTAIN

00:02:26.139 --> 00:02:27.072
GUARANTEED FACTOR.

00:02:27.073 --> 00:02:28.941
WE ARE REALLY AT A POINT NOW

00:02:28.942 --> 00:02:29.675
WHERE WE KNOW VERY MUCH WHAT

00:02:29.676 --> 00:02:34.479
HAPPENED, YES.

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:34.880
>> Reporter:

00:02:34.881 --> 00:02:36.782
[INDISTINCT QUESTION]

00:02:36.783 --> 00:02:37.583
>> President Trump: WE WILL

00:02:37.584 --> 00:02:38.083
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

00:02:38.084 --> 00:02:41.253
HE WILL WATCH.

00:02:41.254 --> 00:02:45.724
>> Reporter: [INDISTINCT]

00:02:45.725 --> 00:02:46.425
>> President Trump: I REALLY

00:02:46.426 --> 00:02:47.392
DON'T KNOW.

00:02:47.393 --> 00:02:48.126
THAT'S UP TO HIM.

00:02:48.127 --> 00:02:49.094
IT'S NOT UP TO ME, IT'S UP TO

00:02:49.095 --> 00:02:49.428
HIM.

00:02:49.429 --> 00:02:50.963
WE WILL WHAT HAPPENS.

00:02:50.964 --> 00:02:52.831
WE ARE GOING TO SEE WHAT

00:02:52.832 --> 00:02:53.165
HAPPENS.

00:02:53.166 --> 00:02:55.067
I WOULD LET THEM COME.

00:02:55.068 --> 00:02:56.835

00:02:58.004 --> 00:02:59.404
I'VE ALWAYS FELT THE

00:02:59.405 --> 00:03:00.005
UNITED NATIONS IS VERY

00:03:00.006 --> 00:03:00.372
IMPORTANT.

00:03:00.373 --> 00:03:01.807
I THINK IT'S GOT TO READ HIS

00:03:01.808 --> 00:03:02.174
POTENTIAL.

00:03:02.175 --> 00:03:03.275
I DON'T THINK IT'S EVER LIVED UP

00:03:03.276 --> 00:03:05.877
TO THE POTENTIAL IT HAS.

00:03:05.878 --> 00:03:07.145
I I DO WANT TO GET PEOPLE OUT IF

00:03:07.146 --> 00:03:07.879
THEY WANT THE COMPANIES THAT

00:03:07.880 --> 00:03:15.587
WOULD BE UP TO THEM.

00:03:15.588 --> 00:03:18.290
>> Reporter: IS A FAILURE TO

00:03:18.291 --> 00:03:19.324
STRIKE A SIGN OF WEAKNESS?

00:03:19.325 --> 00:03:20.158
>> President Trump: I THINK

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:21.560
IT'S A SIGN OF STRENGTH.

00:03:21.561 --> 00:03:22.294
WE HAVE THE STRONGEST MILITARY

00:03:22.295 --> 00:03:25.364
IN THE WORLD NOW.

00:03:25.365 --> 00:03:27.599
IT'S A GREAT SIGN OF STRENGTH.

00:03:27.600 --> 00:03:30.302
IT'S VERY EASY TO ATTACK, BUT IF

00:03:30.303 --> 00:03:32.604
YOU ASK HOW IT GOES IN THE

00:03:32.605 --> 00:03:33.705
MIDDLE EAST, HOW IT WORKED OUT,

00:03:33.706 --> 00:03:35.141
AND HOW'S IT IT GOING INTO

00:03:37.343 --> 00:03:40.779
IRAQ WE HAVE A DISPUTE ON THAT.

00:03:40.780 --> 00:03:41.980
THERE'S PLENTY OF TIMES TO DO

00:03:41.981 --> 00:03:45.651
SOME DASTARDLY THINGS.

00:03:45.652 --> 00:03:46.618
IT'S FOR EASY TO START.

00:03:46.619 --> 00:03:50.022
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

00:03:50.023 --> 00:03:51.189
WE HAVE A LOT OF GOOD CAPITAL.

00:03:51.190 --> 00:03:52.858
IF WE DO SOMETHING, WE WILL DO

00:03:52.859 --> 00:04:01.566
IT WITHOUT HESITATION.

00:04:01.567 --> 00:04:04.503
>> Reporter: IF THE SAUDI

00:04:04.504 --> 00:04:06.004
ATTACKS WERE AN ACT OF WAR, WHAT

00:04:06.005 --> 00:04:08.040
IS THE RESPONSE ON THE U.S. AND?

00:04:08.041 --> 00:04:09.274
>> HE CAME OUT WITH THE

00:04:09.275 --> 00:04:10.308
STATEMENT, HE SPOKE TO ME LITTLE

00:04:10.309 --> 00:04:11.943
WHILE AGO AND WE WILL HAVE AN

00:04:11.944 --> 00:04:14.446

THAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR THAT

00:04:17.750 --> 00:04:19.818
YOU DIDN'T GET THROUGH

00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:20.218
MR. BOLTON?

00:04:20.219 --> 00:04:22.554
>> THAT'S VERY INTERESTING.

00:04:22.555 --> 00:04:24.222
MR. O'BRIEN IS HIGHLY RESPECTED.

00:04:24.223 --> 00:04:25.524
HE WAS HIGHLY RESPECTED BY SO

00:04:25.525 --> 00:04:27.793
MANY PEOPLE THAT I DIDN'T EVEN

00:04:27.794 --> 00:04:29.327
KNOW REALLY KNEW HIM.

00:04:29.328 --> 00:04:30.195
HE DID A TREMENDOUS JOB ON

00:04:30.196 --> 00:04:35.367
HOSTAGE NEGOTIATIONS.

00:04:35.368 --> 00:04:38.403
UNPARALLELED.

00:04:38.404 --> 00:04:39.137
WE HAVE HAD TREMENDOUS SUCCESS

00:04:39.138 --> 00:04:39.604
IN THAT REGARD.

00:04:39.605 --> 00:04:41.840
BROUGHT ON MANY PEOPLE.

00:04:41.841 --> 00:04:43.341
THROUGH HOSTAGE NEGOTIATIONS, I

00:04:43.342 --> 00:04:45.210
GOT TO KNOW I'M VERY WELL

00:04:45.211 --> 00:04:45.544
MYSELF.

00:04:45.545 --> 00:04:47.713
BUT ALSO, A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT I

RESPECT RATED HIM AS THE

I THINK WE HAVE GOOD CHEMISTRY

TOGETHER AND WE ARE GOING TO

MANY OPTIONS.

00:05:28.621 --> 00:05:29.588
THERE IS THE ULTIMATE OPTION,

00:05:29.589 --> 00:05:31.356
AND THERE ARE OPTIONS A LOT LESS

00:05:31.357 --> 00:05:31.990
THAN THAT.

00:05:31.991 --> 00:05:32.724
WE'LL SEE.

00:05:32.725 --> 00:05:33.859
WE ARE IN A VERY POWERFUL
