IRAN SHOWDOWN: Boris Johnson urges UK to stand with US amid Trump meeting

KNOW. 42 MINUTES ON THE CLOCK FOR. PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BE IN FRONT. OF THAT MICROPHONE. STAND BY ON THAT. A BIT LATER YOU HAVE A. GROUNDBREAKING FACE-TO-FACE. PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL HAVE ALL. KINDS OF MEETINGS THIS WEEK. ONE WILL BE WITH THE BRAND-NEW. PRIME MINISTER OF THE U.K. ANDY. BURNHAM. ON THE JOB TWO MONTHS. IT WILL HAPPEN AT THE U.N. THESE TWO MEN IN THE PAST. HAVEN'T EXCHANGED NICE THINGS. ABOUT EACH OTHER. FORMER PRIME MINISTER BORIS. JOHNSON IS HERE TO TALK ABOUT. THAT. NICE TO SEE YOU. YOU ARE ON OUR SIDE OF THE POND.

IN TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA. THIS IS QUITE CONVENIENT FOR US. WHEN HE RAN MANCHESTER, HE SAID. TRUMP WOULD NOT BE WELCOME IN. HIS TOWN. HAS HE BACKED AWAY FROM SOME OF. THAT EARLIER PERSONAL CRITICISM? >> LOOK, BILL, I THINK THE. MORNING'S MEETING WILL BE A. SUCCESS. IT IS DOOMED TO BE A SUCCESS. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ANDY TO. GET THIS RIGHT. I'M SURE HE WILL. HE HAS TO GO IN THERE AND GOT TO. SAY MR. PRESIDENT, THE.

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE UNITED. STATES OF AMERICA IS OF HUGE. IMPORTANCE TO OUR COUNTRY AND HE. HAS TO CLEAR UP SOME OF THE. MESSES THAT HIS PREDECESSOR. MADE. WE WEREN'T QUICK ENOUGH TO COME. TO AMERICA'S HELP IN THE STRAITS. OF HORMUZ. WE SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE AND TO. BE FAIR TO ANDY BURNHAM, THE NEW. PRIME MINISTER HE IS DOING THAT. HELPING THE SAUDIS NOW AGAINST. THE HOUTHIS IN YEMEN. AND WE SHOULD BE DOING EVEN. MORE. I THINK HE HAS TO BE SAYING TO.

DONALD TRUMP LOOK, WE BASICALLY. AGREE WITH YOUR OBJECTIVE, WHICH. IS TO SORT OUT THE MULLAHS OF. TEHRAN. WHAT MARCO RUBIO HAD TO SAY WAS. VERY SENSIBLE. IT IS NOT A STUPID IDEA TO STOP. THESE PEOPLE GETTING A NUKE. IT IS NOT A STUPID IDEA TO STOP. IRAN BEING A MAJOR GLOBAL. EXPORTER OF TERRORISM. THESE ARE SENSIBLE OBJECTIVES. AND THE U.K. SHOULD BE SHOULDER. TO SHOULDER WITH THE U.S. IN.

ACHIEVING THAT. >> Bill: JUST THIS WEEK ANDY. BURNHAM SAID THEY HAD A FEW GOOD. PHONE CALLS. THE PHRASE WAS WE FOUND A. CONNECTION AND WORK FOR COMMON. GROUND. IN THE MEANTIME PRESIDENT TRUMP. HASN'T BEEN SHY HIMSELF. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO SEPTEMBER. THREE SAID THIS ABOUT THE U.K. WATCH HERE. >> President Trump: U.K. IS IN. TROUBLE. ON THE EDGE OF DISASTER. I CALL IT A TIPPING POINT. YOU MORE THAN MOST COUNTRIES. YOU HAVE A TREMENDOUS. IMMIGRATION PROBLEM AND YOU HAVE.

A TREMENDOUS ENERGY PROBLEM. >> Bill: I DON'T KNOW IF IT GOES. PUBLIC TODAY. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WHAT IS YOUR. GUESS? >> LOOK, WAS HE ATTACKING THE. U.K.? I DIDN'T THINK THAT. I THINK THAT WE HAVE A FANTASTIC. OPPORTUNITY IN THE U.K. TO. EXPLOIT MANY, MANY OUTSTANDING. ADVANTAGES. WE HAVE A FANTASTIC POTENTIAL. FOR OUR ECONOMY. RIGHT NOW HE IS QUITE RIGHT WHAT. HE SAYS ABOUT IMMIGRATION.

WE'VE GOT PEOPLE LEAVING THE. U.K. AND ACTUALLY FLEEING TO THE. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WE STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS COMING IN IN. HUGE NUMBERS IN SMALL BOATATS A. WE NEED TO FIX THAT. BUT THE POTENTIAL OF THE U.K. IS. ENORMOUS AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK. THAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN. THE U.S. AND THE U.K. HAS BEEN. THE MOST IMPORTANT FACACTOR IN.

GLOBAL STABILITY FOR THE LAST. 150 YEARS, NOW AS ALL YOUR. CORRESPONDENTS HAVE BEEN SAYING. WE'RE IN A VERY DIFFICULT. JUNCTURE. THE WORLD IS VERY TENSE ON ALL. SORTS OF FRONTS. THIS IS THE MOMENT FOR US TO. HANG TOUGH TOGETHER AND IF --. THE IRANIANS WILL BE VERY. DIFFICULT. THEY ALWAYS PRETEND THEY WANT A. DEAL BUT, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW HOW. IT IS. I THINK IT IS CRUCIAL THAT WE. WORK TO SUPPORT THE U.S., TO GET.

AROUND THIS PROBLEM OF THE. STRAITS OF HORMUZ AND BAB. EL-MANDELO AND ACTUALLY BUILD. THE INFRASTRUCTURE NECESSARY TO. CIRCUMVENT THESE. IRANIAN-INSPIRED BLOCKADES. AND THE U.K. SHOULD BE AND BUILD. THAT PIPELINE. THE UNITED STATES PUT A MAN ON. THE MOON IN SIX YEARS, RIGHT? IT SHOULD NOT BE BEYOND THE WITT. OF MAN TO PUMP OIL ACROSS LAND. >> Bill: MAKE ARGUMENT TO BUILD.

ANOTHER PIPELINE. MAKE IT TWO OR THREE. >> YES. >> HE SAID YOUR COUNTRY IS IN. TROUBLE. YOU ARE ON THE EDGE OF DISASTER. A LOT OF IT GOES TO THE. IMMIGRATION. HE WAS SPEAKING WITH A. JOURNALIST ON SEPTEMBER 3RD. LET ME FINISH. ON THE EDGE OF DISASTER, I CALL. IT A TIPPING POINT. THAT IS HIS COMMENTARY WAS ABOUT. IMMIGRATION. >> WELL, THE UNITED STATES, OF.

COURSE, HAS BEEN A MASSIVE. BENEFICIARY OF IMMIGRATION FOR. MANY YEARS, FOR CENTURIES AND IS. A COUNTRY BUILT ON IMMIGRATION. AND, YOUOU KNOW, I THINK WHAT W. HAVE NOW IN THE U.K. IS THE. LEGAL ABILITY, WHICH WE DIDN'T. HAVE BEFORE BREXIT, WHICH IS TO. STOP ALL IMMIGRATION 100%. OVERNIGHT. IF WE WANTED TO HAVE ZERO. IMMIGRATION TOMORROWOW, LEGALLYE. COULD DO THAT.

WHICH WE COULD NOT DO BEFORE. BREXIT. IF YOU STOP IMMIGRATION TODAY, THEN YOU HAVE TOMORROW IN THE. U.K. YOU START TO HAVE A FALLING. POPULATION. LAST YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME. EVER THE NUMUMBER OF DEATHS. EXCEEDED THE NUMBER OF LIVE. BIRTHS. THERE IS A DEMOGRAPHIC ISSUE TO. BE ADDRESSED. THAT'S FINE. THE UNITED STATES IS ON A. DIFFERENT TRAJECTORY. HUGE IMMIGRATION, CONSIDERABLE. POPULATION GROWTH. THAT'S FINE. I THINK THE PROBLEMS IN THE U.K.

ARE NOT SO MUCH TO DO WITH THE. MIX OF OUR POPULATION BUT THE. CULTURE OF ENTERPRISE AND THE. HIGH TAX AND THE HIGH REGULATION. AND THE WELFAREISM. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT FLORIDA, WHICH IS A VERY, VERY DIFFERENT. ENVIRONMENT, YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE. SHOULD BE DOING IN THE U.K. HERE YOU ARE ATTRACTING BUSINESS. PEOPLE. YOU HAVE A CULTURE OF WEALTH.

CREATION. AND WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THAT. IN THE U.K. WHAT WE NEED IS A NEW. REVOLUTION. I LOOK AT SOME OF THE POLICIES. PURSUED IN THE GREAT STATE OF. FLORIDA AND YOU ARE ATTRACTING. PEOPLE NOT FROM ALL OVER THE. U.S. BUT FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. INCLUDING FROM THE U.K. LOW TAX, LOW REGULATION. CRIME RATES. THAT'S A SEPARATE PROBLEM. YOU HAVE TO HAVE VERY, VERY LOW.

CRIME AND CERTAINLY IN THE U.K. WE HAVE A GOOD RECORD ON THAT. IT'S THE ENTERPRISE. >> Bill: I HEAR YOU LOUD AND. CLEAR. WHETHER OR NOT THE THATCHER DAYS. COME BACK YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE. POLITICAL CIRCUMSTANCES LINED. PROPERLY AS THEY WERE IN THE. 1980s FOR MARGARET THATCHER. OTHER TOPICS WHEN IT COMES TO. UKRAINE. BURNHAM HAS APPROVED THE AERIAL. REFUELING FOR THE SAUDIS IN. THEIR WAR WITH THE HOUTHIS WHICH. SEES NO END IN SIGHT AND YOU. HAVE ONE LAST COMMENT. MAKE IT QUICK AND I HAVE TO RUN.

>> I THINK THAT'S VERY, VERY. IMPORTANT. BUT THE GAS PRICE DOWN BOTH IN. YOUR COUNTRY AND MINE. GET THE GAS PRICE DOWN. END THE WAR IN UKRAINE. END THE WAR IN UKRAINE. THE UNITED STATES CAN DO IT. HE HAS ALREADY SIGNED THE. LINDSEY GRAHAM BUILD. GIVE THE UKRAINIANS WHAT THEY. NEED. GIVE THEM THE CASH THAT'S ALL.

LOCKED UP IN EUROPE. GIVE THEM STARLINK TO TAKE OUT. RUSSIAN BOMBING FACILITIES IN. RUSSIA ITSELF. PUT THE LINDSAY GRAHAM SANCTIONS. INTO EFFECT AND WE'LL GET THE. UKRAINE WAR OVER. THAT WOULD BE AN AMAZING THING. FOR TRUMP TO ACHIEVE. HE CAN DO IT. SO I DOUBT WE WILL FIX IT WITH. IRAN VERY QUICK. THEY ARE COMPLETE CREEPS, RIGHT? PUTIN, HE IS ON THE BACK FOOT.

LOSING 42,000 PEOPLE EVERY. MONTH. ECONOMY IF RUINS. IT IS TIME FOR THE UNITED STATES. TO PUT THE PRESSURE ON PUTIN. GET THE UKRAINE WAR OVER AND A. LOT OF GREAT STUFF STARTS TO. FLOW FROM THERE. >> Bil.
