Pence issues BOLD warning to Iran, urgent plea to Trump

APPETITE FOR SUCH MOVE GOING. FORWARD. >> Bill: MARK MEREDITH, THANK. YOU. >> Dana: FORMER VICE PRESIDENT. MIKE PENCE IS HERE. MR. VICE PRESIDENT YOU WERE. MENTIONED IN THE DIARY AT ONE. POINT. HERE IS FROM JUNE 29TH, 2020. FAUCI WRITES THIS. HAD IMPORTANT CONVERSATION WITH. PENCE. HE DID PROMISE HE WOULD GET ME. OUT THERE ON TV SINCE HE REALLY. LIKED MY MESSAGE. FIRST TIME ANYONE EVER SPOKE. THAT WAY TO V.P. HE TRULY LIKES ME A LOT AND VICE. VERSA. NOW THE POTUS PRESS PEOPLE TO.

AGREE. >> I REMEMBER AN AWFUL LOT ABOUT. MY TIME ON THE WHITE HOUSE --. CORE OWN VIRUS US: HE TAPPED ME. TO LEAD IT IN FEBRUARY. IT WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY TIME. YOU REMEMBER THAT. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE DIDN'T.

KNOW. I THINK EARLY ON, DR. FAUCI WAS. A GREAT SOURCE OF COMFORT TO. MILLIONS OF AMERICANS BUT AS. TIME WENT ON, AND WHEN WE HAD A. TEMPORARY SHUTDOWN TO MAKE SURE. THAT WE DIDN'T RUN OUT OF. SUPPLIES IN COMMUNITIES AROUND. THE COUNTRY, AS GOVERNORS WERE. OPENING UP STATES AROUND THE. COUNTRY WHETHER IT'S GEORGIA, ARIZONA, TEXAS, FLORIDA, WE SAW. DR. FAUCI SHIFT. I THINK YOU PICK UP SOME OF THAT. AT LEAST IN WHAT I'VE READ ABOUT.

THE DIARIES THAT HE CONTINUED TO. ADVOCATE FOR THE LOCKDOWNS THAT. WERE DRIVEN BY DEMOCRAT. GOVERNORS AROUND THE COUNTRY. WHAT WAS MOST TROUBLING TO ME. WAS I LOST COUNT OF THE NUMBER. OF TIMES IN THE SITUATION ROOM. WHERE I ASKED DR. FAUCI IF IT. MIGHT BE POSSIBLE THAT THIS CAME. FROM A LAB LEAK IN WUHAN AND HE. ASSURED ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WITH OTHER VIROLOGISTS AT THE. TABLE TAKING A DIFFERENT VIEW, IT COULDN'T HAVE COME FROM A.

LAB. >> Dana: DO YOU THINK HE LIED TO. YOU? >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SOURCE. OF IT WAS. I WROTE ABOUT IT IN MY BOOK FOUR. YEARS AGO. I ALWAYS SUSPECTED IT CAME FROM. A LAB. I'M TROUBLED BY THE FACT WE. HAVEN'T TO THIS DAY HELD CHINA. ACCOUNTABLE FOR A VIRUS THAT. COST THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF. PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. SO --. >> Bill: DO YOU THINK IN. HINDSIGHT THAT HE WAS PROTECTING. HIS OWN POLICIES? >> I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE.

WOULD SPECULATE THAT WITH THE. GAIN OF FUNCTION INVESTMENTS. THAT NIH HAD MADE. INTERNATIONALLY INCLUDING IN. CHINA. THAT'S WHY I WAS VERY. DISAPPOINTED HE TOOK THE FIFTH. MORE THAN 200 TIMES LAST WEEK. BUT I'LL ALWAYS BE PROUD HOW THE. AMERICAN PEOPLE RESPONDED TO THE. WORST PANDEMIC IN 100 YEARS. OPERATION WARP SPEED WAS AN. EXTRAORDINARY ACCOMPLISHMENT. THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SET INTO. MOTION. TO HAVE SEVERAL SAFE AND.

EFFECTIVE VACCINES WITHIN SIX. AND SEVEN MONTHS WHEN IT USUALLY. TAKES FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS. INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS STEPPED UP. TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THE SUPPLIES. AND RESOURCES TO BE THERE FOR. FAMILIES. BUT WE HAVE A LOT TO LEARN FROM. THAT, BILL. I REALLY BELIEVE IT. NOW MORE THAN EVER WE OUGHT TO. BE HEARING FROM PEOPLE TO. EXPLAIN WHAT THEIR. RECOMMENDATIONS WERE SO THAT WE. CAN MAKE POLICIES GOING FORWARD. BUT WHEN JOE BIDEN CAME IN AND. ESSENTIALLY PUT DR. FAUCI IN.

CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE NATIONAL. RESPONSE, THAT'S WHEN WE SAW. VACCINE MANDATES WITH PRESIDENT. TRUMP AND I NEVER ALLOWED. WE SAW LOCKDOWNS BY DEMOCRAT. GOVERNORS AROUND THE COUNTRY. INTHE FALL OF 2020 WE SAW. GOVERNORS SHUT DOWN SCHOOLS WHEN. OUR ADMINISTRATION NEVER. RECOMMENDED THAT WE SHUT DOWN. SCHOOLS. THESE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS.

THAT WE OUGHT TO HAVE MORE. DAYLIGHT ON AND MAKE GOOD AND. INFORMED DECISIONS BECAUSE OF. WHAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WILL. HAPPEN AGAIN. NEXT TIME WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO. DO IT IN WAY THAT RESPECTS THE. LIBERTIES OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL, PUTS THE INTERESTS OF OUR. FAMILIES FIRST BUT ALSO URGENTLY. RESPONDS TO THE HEALTH. CHALLENGES FACING AMERICANS. >> Dana: WANT TO ASK YOU, IN THE. TIME THAT WE HAVE I THINK THAT. THE DSA AND SOCIALISM BEING ON. THE MARCH IS SOMETHING THAT IT.

CANNOT BE IGNORED. HERE IS SENATOR MANCHIN, WHO IS. SAYING THAT HE DOESN'T LIKE IT. BUT CAN HE STOP IT? WATCH. >> COULD YOU EVER SUPPORT A. SELF-DESCRIBED SOCIALIST. CANDIDATE? >> NO, NO WAY, MY GOD, NO. >> EVEN IF THEY HAVE GOOD IDEAS? >> HOW COULD YOU SUPPORT SOME OF. THE CRAZY STUFF THEY'RE SO. HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR PLATFORM? DISMANTLING EVERYTHING WE KNOW. WHETHER IT BE THE STRUCTURE OF. GOVERNMENT, CONGRESS ITSELF OR. THE SENATE THEY WANT TO GET RID.

OF AND START TALKING ABOUT ALL. THE CRAZY THINGS. >> Dana: NOT WHAT THE DEMOCRATS. SHOULD DO ABOUT THIS BUT HOW DO. REPUBLICANS GET IN FRONT OF IT? WHAT SHOULD THEY BE SAYING AND. DOING? ARE THEY DOING ENOUGH NOW? >> THE LAST TIME I WAS AT THE. TABLE A BOOK CAME OUT AND I. STIPULATED IN SOME RESPECTS. REPUBLICANS HAVE LOST THEIR WAY. BUT DEMOCRATS HAVE LOST THEIR. MINDS. THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE. CANDIDATES, YOU KNOW, IN. MICHIGAN AND NEW JERSEY AND. ELSEWHERE, OF COURSE HERE IN NEW. YORK, MAYOR THAT OPENLY EMBRACED.

SOCIALISM AND MARXISM. THE DSA'S PLATFORM IS A RADICAL. COMMUNIST PLATFORM SHUTTING DOWN. THE UNITED STATES SENATE, SEIZING PRIVATE PROPERTY, YOU. KNOW, I THINK REPUBLICANS -- WE. HAVE TO OFFER A CHOICE, NOT AN. ECHO. I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT A. TREND TOWARD NATIONALIZATION OF. AMERICAN BUSINESSES THAT WE'VE. SEEN, PRICE CONTROLS. I THINK NOW MORE THAN EVER. REPUBLICANS WOULD DO WELL TO.

ARTICULATE THAT CLEAR, FREE. MARKET LIMITED GOVERNMENT AGENDA. THAT HAS DEFINED OUR PARTY FOR. THE LAST 50 YEARS ALL THE MORE. IMPORTANT AS YOU SEE THE. PROGRESSIVE LEFT OVERRUNNING THE. DEMOCRATIC PARTY. >> Bill: THE POINT ABOUT THAT. CLIP IN JOE MANCHIN FOR THE NEXT. TWO YEARS AND FOUR MINIMUM EVERY. DEMOCRAT RUNNING FOR OFFICE WILL. BE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION. A FOX POLL, THE QUESTION THE. ULTIMATE OUTCOME WITH IRAN THE.

U.S. WILL REACH GOOD, BAD DEAL. OR NO DEAL. 48% SAID NO DEAL. WHAT IS YOUR VIEW? >> I HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN. PRESIDENT TRUMP THAN THAT. AND I THINK THE IRANIANS SHOULD. BE VERY WARY IN THIS MOMENT. I STRONGLY SUPPORTED THE. PRESIDENT'S DECISION TO USE. MILITARY FORCE LAST YEAR AND. THIS YEAR STRIKING IRAN REALLY. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 47 YEARS. AFTER THEY'VE WAGEED A. CONTINUOUS WAR AGAINST THE. UNITED STATES AND THE WEST ALL.

THOSE YEARS. BUT HONESTLY I THINK THE. PRESIDENT, AFTER THAT FIRST. MONTH WHERE OUR MILITARY DID A. BRILLIANT JOB TAKING DOWN 13,000. MILITARY SITES, I THINK THE. PRESIDENT HAS TRIED TO CREATE. ROOM FOR DIPLOMACY. HE HAS DONE THAT AGAIN OVER THIS. WEEKEND EVEN AS WE WERE. MARSHALLING MILITARY ASSETS. ACROSS THE REGION. I HONESTLY THINK THE TIME HAS. COME FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE. UNITED STATES TO UNLEASH THE. ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED.

STATES. STRIKE THE REMAINING NUCLEAR. FACILITIES IN IRAN. TAKE DOWN AND DEGRADE THEIR. ABILITY TO PROJECT FORCE NOT. ONLY IN THE STRAIT BUT ACROSS. THE REGION. LOOK, ONE DOES NOT MAKE PEACE. WITH ONE'S ENEMY. ONE MAKES PEACE WITH ONE'S. DEFEATED ENEMY AND GIVEN THEIR. POSTURE AND THEIR ATTITUDES AND. EVEN DENYING THAT NEGOTIATIONS. ARE HAPPENING, I HAVE EVERY. CONFIDENCE THAT THERE WILL COME. A MOMENT WHERE MY OLD RUNNING. MATE HAS HAD ENOUGH AND WE OUGHT.

TO TURN LOOSE THE GREATEST. MILITARY IN THE WORLD. >> Bill: ARE YOU CONVINCED HE IS. BUILDING TO GO THAT ROUTE? >> THE PRESIDENT I SERVED WITH. IS A MAN OF ACTION. HE LEADS FROM THE FRONT. I DON'T THINK YOU CAN UNDERSTATE. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HIS DECISION. LAST YEAR TO STRIKE IRAN. DIRECTLY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN. THE HISTORY OF OUR RELATIONSHIP. WITH THE REGIME IN TERRAIN --.

TEHRAN. WE NEED TO LET OUR ARMED FORCES. AND ALLY ISRAEL FINISH THE JOB. AND I BELIEVE WE CAN. >> Dana: ALL RIGHT. VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE, GREAT. TO SEE YOU IN NEW YORK CITY. SORRY ABOUT THE RA.
