Rubio issues STERN warning: 'This can NEVER happen'

>> THIS MORNING PRESIDENT TRUMP. RETURNING TO THE U.N. WHERE THE. AI RACE AND UKRAINE ARE BOTH. EXPECTED ON THE AGENDA WITH. LEADERS, OUR WORLD LEADERS ALSO. STANDING BY AS THE SAYS BIG. THINGS ARE SET TO HAPPEN IN. IRAN. >> JOINING US NOW FOR THAT. PREVIEW OF THOSE BIG THINGS IS. THE SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO. RUBIO. MR. SECRETARY, GREAT TO SEE YOU. >> THANK YOU. GLAD TO BE HERE LIVE ON THE. COUCH. LITTLE BOX WITH MY HEAD IN IT. >> Brian: BEEN TOO LONG AS.

OPPOSED TO MY MIGHT BE THE FIRST. TIME AS SECRETARY OF STATE. >> OH, YEAH. >> Brian: KNOWING FRONT AND. CENTER WILL BE THE IRAN WAR AND. THE PRESIDENT IS ALSO MEETING. WITH GULF STATES. FIRST OFF, CAN YOU B BRING US. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS? HAS THERE BEEN CONCERN AMONG THE. GULF STATES ABOUT THE SITUATION. RIGHT NOW IN IRAN? WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY ARE GOING. TO ASK OF THE PRESIDENT. >> THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONCERN. IN THE GULF STATES ABOUT IRAN. THE REASON WE HAVE MILITARY. BASES IN THE GULF STATES IRAN. THAT'S WHY WE ARE THERE IRAN. SPONSORS TERRORISTS GROUPS THAT.

OPERATE OUT OF IRAQ, THAT. OPERATED OUT OF SYRIA AND HELPED. HEZBOLLAH IN LEBANON. THEY ARE BEHIND THE HOUTHIS IN. YEMEN THAT ARE ATTACKING SAUDI. ARABIA AND THEY WANT A NUCLEAR. WEAPON. THAT'S OF CONCERN NOT JUST TO. THE GULF STATES BUT SHOULD BE OF. CONCERN TO THE WORLD. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO. REMIND EVERYBODY AT THE END OF. THE DAY AT THE CORE OF ALL OF. THIS, WE TALKED ABOUT OIL AND. THE STRAWTS OF HORMUZ. THE CENTRAL ESSENTIAL HERE IS. IRAN IS RUN BY LUNATIC CLERICS. THAT HAVE A RADICAL VIEW OF. THEIR RELIGION, VERY RADICAL. VIEW AND APOCALYPTIC VIEW OF.

THEIR RELIGION. THESE PEOPLE CAN NEVER HAVE. NUCLEAR WEAPONS. THINK ABOUT THE THOUSANDS AND. THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF THEIR. OWN PEOPLE THEY VIDEO CAN. IMAGINE IF THEY HAD A NUCLEAR. WEAPON AND ABILITY TO USE THAT. AGAINST THEIR NEIGHBORS AND THE. WORLD. THAT CAN NEVER HAPPEN. EVERY AMERICAN PRESIDENT SAYS IT. EVERY WORLD LEADER YOU MEETS. WITH WE AGREE THEY CAN'T HAVE A. NUCLEAR WEAPON. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE HAS TO DO. SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR IT'S GOING. TO HAPPEN. IMAGINE NORTH KOREA BUT IN THE. MIDDLE EAST THAT WOULD BE. CATASTROPHIC FOR THE WORLD. YOU WOULDN'T BE PAYING $6 OR. WHATEVER DIESEL IS THIS MORNING.

YOU WOULD BE PAYING TRIPLE THAT. IRAN WOULD CONTROL IT AND SAY. YOU CAN'T TOUCH IT WE IS A. NUCLEAR WEAPON. >> Lawrence: PEZESHKIAN. PRESIDENT OF IRAN IS HERE. TALKING ABOUT IF THE PRESIDENT. WILL DO A MEETING. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT. IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A. MEETING? IS IT WORTH IT? IS HE A DECISION MAKER OR. SOMETHING THAT GOES BACK TO. TEHRAN. >> WHAT YOU WILL FIND FROM THE. FIRST TERM OF THIS PRESIDENT AND. NOW HE IS WILLING TO TALK AND. MEET WITH ANYBODY. HIS ARGUMENT IS AND, REMEMBER, THIS IS A BUSINESSMAN. HE'S NOT A POLITICIAN. HE WAS NEVER A MEMBER OF THE. COUNCIL OF FOREIGN RELATIONS.

I MEAN HE'S A BUSINESSMAN THAT. COMES FROM THE WORLD OF PATROL. CAR AT THIS CATTLE AND COMMON. SENSE. COMMON SENSE TELLS YOU THRUP IS. NO H HARM IN ENGAGING WITH. SOMEONE. IF YOU DON'T TALK TO THEM AT. LEAST GET INSIGHTS INTO WHO THEY. ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE THINKING. MAYBE NOTHING GOOD WOULD COME OF. IT BUT NOTHING BAD WILL COME. FROM IT HE IS OPEN TO MEETING. WITH HIM OR ANYBODY. THE ULTIMATE DECISIONMAKER IN. IRAN IS THE SUPREME LEADER. THE SUPREME LELEADER IS A RADICL. SHE A CLERIC PEOPLE THEE.

LOGICALLY DRIVEN TO MAKE THE. DECISIONS THEY MAKE. >> Ainsley: DONALD TRUMP SAYS WE. HAVE THREE DECISIONS BLOW THEM. UP, LET THEM ROT ECONOMICALLY OR. DOM AN AGREEMENT. WE ARE DEALING WITH RADICAL. CLERICS THOUGH BELIEVE AMERICA. SHOULD BE WIPED OFF THE FACE OF. THE EARTH AND ISRAEL. WHEN THEY THINK A NUCLEAR WEAPON. IS WHAT THEY NEED TO ACHIEVE.

WHAT THEIR GOD WANTS THEM TO DO. >> NEVER CLOSE THE DOOR TO. AGREEMENTS OR DIPLOMACY. BECAUSE SOMETIMES THINGS CHANGE. IN THE SYSTEM. MAYBE THE SYSTEM CHANGES OR. SOMETHING HAPPENS INTERNALLY OR. THEY MAKE A PRAGMATIC DECISION. FOR THE TIME-THAT CAN THEY ARE. BETTER OFF WITH DIPLOMACY. THERE IS AT LOVE THINGS NOT. BEING REPORTED BY B. I IRAN AND. IT'S UNFORTUNATE. MORE OIL THAN EVER IS NOW. FLOWING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN. STRAITS. THE U.S. MILITARY UNDER THE. PRESIDENT'S COMMAND MINDS. YOU SEE EVERY DAY MORE AND MORE. SHIPS COMING OUT, A SUBSTANTIAL. PERCENTAGE OF THE PRECONFLICT.

OIL THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO. GOVERNMENT AT THE SAME TIME, IRAN IS GETTING NOTHING OUT. BECAUSE OUR BLOCKADE IS. TIGHT-GRIPPED. NOTHING IS COMING OUT. SO THEY'RE NOT BENEFITING. MORE OIL IS COMING OUT FOR THE. WORLD NO. OIL IS COMING OUT FOR IRAN. THEY ARE FACING INCREASING. CRIPPLING SANCTIONS THAT ARE. LEGAL I HARMING THEIR ECONOMY. AND PLAY PAYING A HIGH ECONOMIC. CRIES. THIS IS A TREND LINE CONTINUE TO. SEE IT EXACERBATE FOR THEM AS. MORE COMES OUT, NONE OF THEIR. OIL COMES OUT AND SANCTIONS. START TO BITE.

>> Brian: HOW SURPRISED ARE YOU. THAT WE HAVE NOT HIT THE HEWITT. REBELS WHO ARE ATTACKING OUR. ALLIES SAUDI ARABIA AND STOPPING. OIL FROM COMING OUT OF THE. STRAIT. >> THAT'S A DANGEROUS CONFLICT. OBVIOUSLY. BECAUSE WHAT IT HAS DONE, IT'S. NOT JUST THE HOUTHIS, THESE CAN. A TAB HEZBOLLAH OUT OF IRAQ. WHICH IS AN IRANIAN PROXY ALSO. FIRED INTO SAUDI ARABIA. IT WAS SHUT DOWN MAIN PIPELINE. THAT PIPELINE NEEDS TO GET. RESTARTED. WE HAVE A DEFENSE AGREEMENT WITH. SAUDI ARABIA. WE INTEND LIVE UP TOUR. COMMITMENTS ON IT? >> WE HAVEN'T YET.

>> WORKING TO SEE WHERE THIS. THING CAN BE FIXED. ULTIMATELY, IF IT COMES DOWN TO. IT, THE UNITED STATES WILL. ALWAYS STAND WITH SAUDI ARABIA. AND SUPPORT THEM BECAUSE WE HAVE. AN AGREEMENT TO DO. SO THAT SAID THAT IS A DANGEGERS. AND COMPLEX CONFLICT PRESEXst. EXISTING IN OUR HISTORY. WE HAVE A HISTORY WITH THE. HOUTHIS AS WELL THAT SOMETHING. WE DON'T WANT TO SEE CONTACTED. EITHER THE RED SEA AND THE. IMPACT ON THE SAUDI ECONOMY. YOU KNOW, I CAN'T DISCUSS IN. THIS SETTING OR ANY PUBLIC. SETTING ALL THE CONVERSATIONS. THAT ARE ONGOING WITH SAUDI. ARABIA. BUT SUFFICE IT TO SAY THAT WE'LL. LIVE UP TO OUR COMMITMENT TO. THEM.

AND HAVE BEEN. >> Lawrence: LET'S SWITCH TO. UKRAINE. PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY IS GOING TO. MEET WITH THE PRESIDENT. I KNOW THERE IS SOME DISPUTE. DEBATE OVER SHOULD UKRAINIAN. STRIKING SOME OF SOME OF THE. ENERGY FACILITIES. UKRAINE'S PERSPECTIVE IS, LOOK, THEY ARE ATTACKING US. WE ARE GOING TO HIT THEM WHERE. IT HURTS. AND THE PRESIDENT IS CONCERNED. ALSO WITH THE WORLD MARKET RIGHT. NOW. OBVIOUSLY WE GOT THE CONFLICT. GOING ON WITH IRAN. SO EVERYBODY IS LOOKING AT THE. GLOBAL MARKET. >> YEAH, IT'S A GLIM. AND IT'S A DILEMMA. BECAUSE THERE ARE THREE THINGS.

THE MAJORITY OF THE INCREASE. HAVE YOU SEEN IN OIL PRICE OVER. THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS IS. STABILIZED NOW HAS TO DO WITH. THE BLACK SEA. UKRAINE AND RUSSIA. AND YEMEN, WITH THE HOUTHIS. THESE ARE TWO THINGS ADDED TO. THE INCREASE WE HAVE SEEN A WEEK. AGO. IT'S A DILEMMA. ONE HAND YOU STATATED THE OBVIO, UKRAINE SAYS WE HAVE MISSILES. BEING LAUNCHED INTO KYIV EVERY. NIGHT HITTING CIVILIANS. NEED TO RESPOND. I THINK YOU SAW 5,000 DRONE. ATTACK ON MOSCOW OR RUSSIA ABOUT. 48 HOURS AGO ON THEIR PART. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT IS HAVING.

AN IMPACT. THE ONE THING WE ARE CONCERNED. ABOUT, HOWEVER. OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS ON A. NUNUMBER OF OCCASIONS. AMERICAN-LINKED SHIPS. AMERICAN OIL SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN. TARGETED, PROBABLY NOT. DELIBERATELY BUT TARGETED. NONETHELESS BY UKRAINE. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO. BE ADDRESSED. WE CAN'T HAVE THAT HAPPENING. OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, LOOK, THAT'S WHY THE PRESIDENT HAS. ALWAYS WANTED TO END THIS WAR. AND PREPARED TO DO ANYTHING HE. CAN TO BRING IT TO AN END. IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT. BUT WE REMAIN HOPEFUL THAT. SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN THERE. THE RUSSIANS ARE SUFFERING. THOUSANDS OF DEAD SOLDIERS EVERY.

WEEK AND OF COURSE UKRAINE IS. FACING, YOU KNOW, ONSLAUGHT AS. WELL. HARMFUL FOR BOTH SIDES. WE WANT TO DO EVERYTYTHING WE CN. TO BRING TO AN END. IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT, UNFORTUNATELY. >> ATTACKS INTENSIFYING THROUGH. TWO COUNTRY. DUMP SAYS WHEN HE MEETS WITH. THEM HE WANTS TO ENERGY. CEASE-FIRE TO STOP MILITARY. STRIKES TARGETING THE POWER AND. INFRASTRUCTURE. HE ALSO SAYS THAT WOULD LOWER. COST FOR US FOR OUR GAS AND. DIESEL. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES? ZELENSKYY HAS STATED UKRAINE. WOULD SUPPORT A AN ENERGY FREEZE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. >> A FREEZE IN TERMS OF FREEZING. ATTACKS IS MY SENSE OF WHAT IS. HE TRYING TO SAY. YEAH, WE WOULD PROPOSE THAT WE. THINK THAT WOULD BE A IDEA. ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE. CEASE-FIRE. UKRAINE IS NOT BEING TARGETED. RUSSIAN ENERGY SUPPLIES ARE NOT. BEING TARGETED AS WELL. IT'S AN IDEAL OUTCOME. IT'S ONE THAT WE ARE IF IN FAVOR. OF AND PROPOSE AND ACHIEVE. WE HAVE TALKED WITH A NUMBER OF. COUNTRIES ABOUT THAT AS WELL. LIKE THE WAR IT TAKES TWO SIDES. TO AGREE TO THAT.

THAT'S BEEN THE CHALLENGE. >> Brian: MR. SECRETARY WHEN YOU. WERE IN THE SENATE ON FOREIGN. RELATIONS CONSIDERED BY BOTH. SIDES ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED. FOREIGN POLICY MINDS. NOW THAT YOU ARE SECRETARY OF. STATE, WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE. FOR YOU TO TAKE THE LEAD ON THE. UKRAINE SITUATION, YOU TAKE THE. LEAD ON THE IRAN SITUATION? IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S WHIT COUGH. AND KUSHNER AND NOT YOU. >> THE LEAD IS THE PRESIDENT ON. EVERY ONE OF THESE ISSUES. >> RIGHT BELOW HIM WE HAVE A. TEAM OF PEOPLE ALL INVOLVED. EVERY DAY THERE ISN'T A DAY THAT. GOES BY THAT I DON'T WORK ON. UKRAINE OR IRAN OR ALL THESE.

OTHER ISSUSUES. EVERYONE PLAYS DIFFERENT ROLES. IN THAT REGARD. I HAVE TWO JOBS AS WELL. I PLAY TWO ROLES, THE FIRST. COORDINATING THE INNER AGENCY'S. RESPONSE. REMEMBER, DEALING WITH IRAN, DEALING WITH RUSSIA AND UKRAINE. INVOLVES TREASURY AND THE. DEPARTMENT OF WAR, IT INVOLVES. THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE. IT INVOLVES ALL THE INTELLIGENCE. COMMUNITY. THAT ALL HAS TO BE COORDINATED. THAT'S MY ROLE AS NATIONAL. SECURITY ADVISER. THEN THERE IS THE STATE. DEPARTMENT ROLE, I ALSO AM OF. COURSE IN CHARGE OF THAT WE ALL. DO DIFFERENT THINGS. WITH STEVE AND JARED. THEY ARE PEACE MISSION ENVOYS,

THEIR SINGULAR FOUNDATION IS ON. RUSSIA, UKRAINE, IRAN THING. >> Brian: EXPERIENCE. >> THEY ARE DOING GREAT JOB. I'M TELLING YOU AT THE END OF. THE DAY, THE PEOPLE THEY ARE. DEALING WITH ARE NOT EASY. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. DESPERATELY WANTED TO DEAL WITH. IRAN. THEY SPENT FOUR YEARS. CAPITULATING TRYING TO GET A. DEAL WITH IRAN AND THEY COULDN'T. GET ONE. THESE ARE NOT EASY PEOPLE WE ARE. DEALING WITH I REMIND EVERYBODY, WE ARE DEALING WITH RADICAL SHE. A CLERICS, BUT WE HAVE GREAT. TEAM. EVERYONE HAS PLAYED THE ROLE. THE VICE PRESIDENT HAS PLAYED A. ROLE. BE UNDER NO ALLUSION HERE. THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF ALL OF. THESE THINGS IS THE PRESIDENT HE. IS THE DECISIONMAKER AND.

OFTENTIMES THE IMPLEMENTER, HAVE. THE PRESIDENT CALL A FOREIGN. LEADER AND SAY THIS IS WHAT WE. ARE DOING. >> Lawrence: WE COULD BE HERE. ALL HOUR WITH YOU, MR. SECRETARY. WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT CHINA AND. AI. KNOWN OUTSIDE OF THE PRESIDENT. TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST. MESSENGERS IN THE REPUBLICAN. PARTY A LOT OF PEOPLE WITHIN THE. MOVEMENT ARE UPSET ABOUT THE. DATA CENTERS, AI IN GENERAL. WHAT SHOULD BE THE MESSAGE? HOW DO WE COMPETE AGAINST CHINA. BUT ALALSO NOT FORGET OUR PEOPLE. AND THEIR CONCERNS? >> LOOK, THE WORLD HAS SEEN.

TECHNICAL ADVANCES. LOOK AT NUCLEAR ENERGY. NUCLEAR ENERGY BENEFICIAL. GENERATE ENERGY MUCH LOWER COST. IT DOESN'T HAVE EMISSION PEOPLE. ARE COCONCERNED ABOUT. OR YOU COULD HAVE THE NUCLEAR. POWER PLANT MELT DOWN AND KILL. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. NUCLEAR ENERGY AND THE ABILITY. TO HARNESS IT HAS POSITIVES AND. NEGATIVES. AI IS THE SAME THING IN SOME. WAYS. IT IS AN ADVANCE THAT GOING TO. HAPPEN, AND IT HAS HUGE BENEFITS. TO IT IF IT HELPS A RADIOLOGIST. IDENTIFY A CANCER THAT RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE MISSING, THAT'S A GREAT. THING THAT AI DOES AND IT HAS. SOME POTENTIAL HARM AS WELL THAT. WE'RE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT. WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE. OUT, THE WORLD REALLY, BUT THE. UNITED STATES IN PARTICULAR, HOW. DO WE HARNESS THIS NEW. TECHNOLOGY AND BENEFIT FROM THE. GOOD THINGS AND LIMIT THE BAD. THINGS IT CAN OKAY THE STRUGGLE. WITH AI COMPARED TO OTHER. TECHNOLOGIES IS NUCLEAR ENERGY. WAS A STATIC THICK. YOU UNDERSTOOD WHAT IT TOOK TO. GENERATE NUCLEAR ENERGY. AND AI IS CHANGING EVERY DAY. EVERY SIX MONTHS, EVERY THREE. MONTHS A NEW MODEL COMES OUT. THAT IS MORE ADVANCED THAN THE.

PREVIOUS ONE. MOVING SO FAST BY THE TIME YOU. BUILD GAWRLDZ AROUND WHAT HAVE. YOU NOW, YOU HAVE SOMETHING NEW. AND YOU HAVE TO BUILD NEW. GAWRLDZ. WE ARE ALL STRUGGLING WITH THAT. IT'S A DIFFICULT CHALLENGE SET. WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT WHAT THE. PRESIDENT HAS SAID YES, THERE IS. HARM THAT COMES FROM AI WE HAVE. TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY FROM IT. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO NOT BE AT. THE LEADING EDGE OF AI. BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. IF IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WE. SHOULD BENEFIT FROM IT AND BE IN. THE LEAD. >> Ainsley: I REMEMBER TALKING. TO YOU A FEW MONTHS AGO. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT YOUR. SCHEDULE. HOW DO YOU DO IT? YOU ARE ALWAYS IN ANOTHER.

COUNTRY. HAVE YOU GONE TO LIKE 20. DIFFERENT COUNTRIES IN THE LAST. THREE WEEKS. YOU AND YOUR WIFE WERE TELLING. ME THAT HOHOW CAN YOU TAKE. ADVANTAGE BEING A WORLD LEADER. AND REPRESENT THE GREATEST. COUNTRY THIS WEEK AT THE U.N.? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE FOR THE. WORLD LEADERS -- NOT WORLD. LEADERS, FOR AMERICAN LEADERS. HOW DO WE ALL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF. THIS THERE IS AT LOVE MEETINGS. BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS HERE. YESTERDAY I DID 12 OR 13. MEETINGS A V VARIETY OF COUNTRI, SEVEN COUNTRIES REPRESENTING THE. ARTIC. WE DID MEETINGS WITH ITALY WHERE. WE SIGNED AN MOU. MEETINGS WITH THE NEW PRIME.

MINISTER OF IRAQ. TODAY I WILL SIT IN ON ALL THE. PRESIDENT'S MEETINGS AND HAVE A. FEW MORE ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. BELOW ME I HAVE MY DEPUTY. SECRETARY CHRIS LANDAU AND. ALLISON HOOKER OUR POLITICAL. SECRETARY UNDERSECRETARY AS. WELL. AND THEY ARE OUT THERE TAKING A. BUNCH OF MEETINGS. WE HAVE OUR ENTIRE TEAM. DEPLOYED. MIKE WALZ IS DOING HIS THING AS. WELL. OF COURSE THE PRESIDENT TODAY. HAS A VERY BUSY AGENDA. THIS IS GREAT WEEK BECAUSE IT. BRINGS ALL THESE WORLD LEADERS. AND THEIR FOREIGN MINISTERS AND. THEIR, YOU KNOW, THEIR. EQUIVALENT OF TREASURY OR. COMMERCE THEY'RE ALL HERE IT.

GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO ENGAGE IN. PERSON IN WAYS THAT YOU WOULD. NORMALLY HAVE TO TAKE A TRIP IN. ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DO. >> Brian: THE SECRETARY OF. TREASURY BESS SENT SAYS I HAVE. AN AGREEMENT I'M GOING TO. PRESENT TO THE PRESIDENT. I GUESS IT WOULD BE SOME TYPE OF. GAWRLDZ WORKED OUT WITH HIS. COUNTERPART OVER IN CHINA. IT'S UP TO THE PRESIDENT TO SIGN. IT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS IN IT AND. CAN YOU GIVE US AN IDEA? >> AS YOU THESE THINGS ARE. NAISSANT IN THINKING. I DON'T KNOW IF READY BY. THURSDAY. ONE OF THE CONCEPTS. ONE OF THE THINGS SCOTT HAS. TALKED ABOUT AND I HAVE SEEN HIM. DO INTERVIEWS WITH ABOUT THIS AS.

WELL. HOTLINE EQUIVALENT TO THE COLD. WHERE WHERE THERE ISN'T AN AI. INCIDENT DANGEROUS. IMPACT THE SOCIETIES AND LEAD TO. CONFLICT BETWEEN NATION STATES. WE WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO. IMMEDIATELY HOTLINE THE CHINESE. AND WARN THEM ABOUT IT OR VICE. VERSA. NOT BAD IDEA. ONE WE WILL EXPLORE WITH THE. CHINESE AMONG OTHERS. LOOK, THIS ISSUE OF AI IS NOT. NEW. WE REALLY SHOULD HAVE STARTED. DEALING WITH THIS TWO OR THREE. YEARS AGO. IT'S HERE NOW. HAVE YOU SEEN ALL THE WARNINGS. OUT THERE. I KNOW PEOPLE ARE VERY CONCERNED. ABOUT IT. IT ISN'T A NATIONAL THING. YOU CAN'T BUILD A BORDER AROUND.

AI BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE. GLOBAL. YOU WILL HAVE TO ENGAGE ON THE. GLOBAL STAGE. >> Brian: CHINA SAYS WE ARE NOT. SLOWING DOWN. >> NO LEADING COUNTRY -- HERE'S. THE PROBLEM. NO ONE WANTS TO BE HURT BY AI. BUT NO ONE WANTS TO BE LEFT. BEHIND BY IT, EITHER. THE CHALLENGE IS HOW DO YOU. STAY -- HOW DO YOU LEAD ON IT? THEY WANT TO LEAD ON INTOW DO WE. AND DO IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T. CAUSE HARM ANTICIPATED OR. OTHERWISE. THAT'S THE TENSION WE ARE. FEELING GLOBALLY AND CERTAINLY. WE WILL HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT. IT'S A TOUGH ISSUE. >> Lawrence: CHINA MAKING THEIR. MOVE ON GREENLAND IN SOME.

CAPACITY. THE PRESIDENT SAID NO WAY. PEOPLE FREAKED OUT. NOW THERE IS A DEAL IN PLACE. >> IT'S A FANTASTIC DEAL. >> Lawrence: WHY IS THIS. IMPORTANT? >> THE WHOLE THING ABOUT. GREENLAND WAS NATIONAL SECURITY. PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS CLEAR ABOUT. THAT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. THIS WAS ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY. BOTH FOR MISSILE DEFENSE, DEFENSE OF THE ARTICS, DEFENSE. OF WATERWAYS, ALL OF THAT WAS. CRITICAL. AND SO WE HAD AN EXISTING. AGREEMENT. BUT IT WAS NOT -- IT NEEDED TO. BE MODERNIZED AND UPDATED. WE HAVE A NEW AGREEMENT NOW THAT. IS ACTUALLY GREAT FOR GREENLAND. AND DENMARK AS WELL BECAUSE IT. PROVIDES FOR THEIR SECURITY. IF I RECALL, IT'S PERMANENT.

IT'S FOREVER THERE IS NO. EXPIRATION TO THE DEAL. ALOUDS US TO BEAL AS MANY. MILITARY BASES AS NECESSARY FOR. DEFENSE. IT PUTS US IN SCREENING PROCESS. WITH DENMARK. NOT WAKE UP ONE DAY AND REALIZE. OKAY, YEAH, THE CHINESE MILITARY. IS NOT THERE BUT THEIR COMPANIES. OWN ALL THE PORTS AND LAND SO. THEY ARE THERE BECAUSE THEY HAVE. DONE THAT IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF. THE WORLD IT ALLOWS US. >> Brian: BELTRAN ROAD. >> EVEN WORSE IN SOME CASES. WHERE THEY BUILD THESE PORTS. AROUND THE WORLD AND THE PORT. LOOKS LIKE A MILITARY BASE.

YOU THINK TO YOURSELF OF COURSE. THEY BUILT THAT WAY. ONE DAY THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO. DEPLOY THEIR NAVY TO IT. THIS IS SOMETHING A LOUS US, AND. IT'S NATO-RELATED, TOO. WHAT IT SAYS IS ANY NON-NATO. COUNTRY THAT TRIES TO INVEST IN. GREENLAND HAS TO GO THROUGH A. SCREENING PROCESS THAT WE'RE. INVOLVED IN AND HAVE CONTROL. OVER ALONG WITH OUR PARTNERS NOW. IN DENMARK AND GREENLAND. IT'S GREAT DEAL. IT'S A FANTASTIC ACHIEVEMENT. IT NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD. THE PRESIDENT NOT RAISED THIS. ISSUE. MULTIPLE AMERICAN PRESIDENTS. UNDERSTOOD THE GEOGRAPHIC.

IMPORTANCE OF GREEEENLAND. >> THIS IS THE FIRST PRESIDENT. THAT ACTUALLY HAS DONE SOMETHING. ABOUT IT AND TODAY HE WILL SIGN. SOMETHING THAT IS VERY GOOD FOR. AMERICA, FOR OUR SECURITY BUT. IT'S GOOD FOR NATO, ACTUALLY AND. GOOD FOR DENMARK AND GREENLAND. >> Ainsley: IT'S PERMANENT IT? >> IS PERMANENT. >> Brian: HOW DISAPPOINTED ARE. YOU THAT NATO HAS NOT HELPED YOU. IN IRAN? >> LOOK, I THINK THERE ARE SOME. COUNTRIES IN NATO THAT HAVE DONE. MORE THAN OTHERS IN THAT REGARD. THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT REACHES. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MANY. CASES. WE CAN'T HIDE THAT. DISAPPOINTMENT. THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT WAS A. NUMBER OF COUNTRIES -- A HANDFUL.

OF COUNTRIES ONE OF THE REASONS. WHY WE HAVE BASES IN NATO, ONE. OF THE BENEFITS TO US ISIS THE. ABILITY TO PROJECT POWER IN CASE. OF A CONTINGENCY. WE HAD A CONTINGENCY, AND WE HAD. A COUPLE COUNTRIES SAY YOU CAN'T. USE OUR BASE HERE. THAT'S ABSURD. IF WE CAN'T USE OUR BASE WHEN WE. HAVE A CONTINGENCY WHAT'S THE. POINT OF HAVING THE BASE AND. FRANKLY THE POINT OF THE. ALLIANCE. I HAVE BEEN A STRONG SUPPORTER. OF NATO MY ENTIRE CAREER. ONE OF THE ARGUE. US I USED TO USE ONE OF THE. BIGGEST BENEFITS NATO HAD TO THE. UNITED STATES WERE THESE BASES.

IN EUROPE THAT ALLOWED US TO. PROJECT POWER INTO DIFFERENT. PARTS OF THE WORLD. IF THAT'S GOING TO BE DENIED TO. US, THEN WE HAVE LOST THE. BIGGEST REASON FOR US TO BE IN. NATO. SOSO THAT'S THE POINT WE HAVE. RAISED. I HOPE WE HAVE CROSSED A POINT. WHERE THAT NO LONGER IS GOING TO. HAPPEN. I THINK WE HAVE HAD MORE. COOPERATION LATELY FROM A NUMBER. OF COUNTRIES IN NATO. SO THAT'S POSITIVE. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE STILL VERY. DISAPPOINTED AND WE STILL. RAISE -- THE PRESIDENT STILL. RAISES. >> Ainsley: I KNOW YOU HAVE TO. GO YOU HAVE A LOT OF MEETINGS. MESSAGE FOREVER THE MIDTERMS, J.D. VANCE REJECT THE RADICALS. MIKE ROGERS TALKING ABOUT --.

YOUR FAMILY IS FROM CUBA. YOU KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, SOCIALISM. >> THIS IS VERY HARD FOR ME AND. YOU ARE GOING TO HATE MY ANSWER. UNDER THE RULES WE HAVE I'M NOT. ALLOWED TO SPEAK ABOUT DOMESTIC. POLITICAL ISSUES. SOSO, IT'S VERY HARD FOR ME. >> Ainsley: WE HAVE HEARD THE. STORY. >> I THINK PEOPLE KNOW HOW I. FEEL. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S BEEN. DEMOCRAT ADDITION AND THE RULE. FOR THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS THAT. WE DON'T INJECT OURSELVES INTO. DOMESTIC POLITICS OF COURSE I. VOTE. I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE HARD TO. FIGURE OUT WHO I'M VOTING FOR.

>> Ainsley: THANK YOU FOR.
