GOVERNOR SCOTT WALKER ON PRESIDENT OBAMA'S IRAN PLAN

 

TRANSCRIPT

0:00

the US inching closer to a nuclear deal with iran despite

0:03

profound concerns from congress and Israel and others

0:06

the president Obama is giving up too much for too little

0:09

have not yet made

0:13

a yo the the kind of concessions that are ever gonna be meted

0:19

for a final bill to get done but may have moved

0:22

and and so there's %uh the bus building question is Is

0:27

any deal a huge mistake joining us now is the governor of wisconsin-stout water

0:31

covered the morning good morning great to be with you

0:34

you'd expect the express deep skepticism about this deal and you said that any

0:39

president coming after Obama would not have to

0:41

necessarily abide by the deal how does the united states. in your view prevent

0:47

Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons in is military action against Iran

0:51

on the table why don't we need to be aggressive Iran and others in the middle

0:56

ace into this thing about this from and I i'm in florida today I was just in

0:59

South Carolina few days ago scott knows I was just New Hampshire last weekend we

1:03

can before nylon I gotta tell you

1:05

people all across this country are worried their word because we've got a

1:08

president who draw a line in the sand

1:10

a lot of people across it we've got a president cause I sis the JV squad

1:14

Yemen a success story and now I ran a place we can do business with

1:18

this is a place where the supreme leader just did about a day ago

1:22

said that when people are yelling death to America yes

1:25

and and yet we're trying to negotiate

1:28

with this very same country real serious concerns about

1:32

letting them have a capacity get nuclear weapons which would not only be a

1:35

problem for israel

1:36

it would be a problem for the entire world that we need to be aggressive in

1:39

pushing back either

1:40

well governor thanks for joining us it seems like our foreign policies actually

1:43

upside down what would you do differently

1:46

that the president and this administration is not doing it seems

1:50

like the sequel to the movie back in the eighties trading places where

1:53

israel's our ally Iran is not in yet this administration he seems to be doing

1:57

the opposite direction I think me to be aggressive we need to pull back work

2:01

we're certainly

2:01

as many have said giving up too much getting too little

2:04

opening the door towards a nuclear a weapon in

2:08

and in Iran the use the nuclear weapon there again that's only problem for

2:11

israel that will open the door for the saudis producing their own

2:14

I think it opens up a global problem we need to push back

2:18

we need to make sure they do not get that and and I think ultimately United

2:21

States needs to seriously look at reestablishing

2:24

sanctions and working with our allies particular in Europe to do the same

2:28

to support congress' involvement in this process has the president is basically

2:33

said

2:33

listen to let you know what the deal is and then ultimately I have the ability

2:37

through my executive authority to do whatever I want in congress on the other

2:40

hand is a mojo at mister president vise again Senate's our role to endorse

2:45

or not a lot of these issues what are your thoughts on that if this is a good

2:49

deal

2:49

and if it's going to ultimately be something it's legally binding

2:52

in the congress does have a role that's par the the way the constitution sets up

2:56

the checks and balances out there we had a president who understands and respects

2:59

that we've had mixed messages from about the Secretary of State

3:03

secretary carry on one hand says it's a good deal on the other hand

3:07

seems to backtrack on whether or not it's legally binding if it is legally

3:10

binding and it is a good deal for the american people for the people. this

3:13

world then it's something that should be put before the congress and we need a

3:16

president understands

3:17

that relationship between the two branches so apparently the Obama

3:20

administration has done a lot behind the scenes to prevent

3:24

Israel from taking military action against Iran you think it's been wise

3:28

for us to prevent Israel from doing that

3:30

or again it's just remarkable all throughout the Middle East not only in

3:34

this situation but we

3:35

we have a president istration appear to have pulled out early Iraq for largely

3:39

political reasons

3:40

and now we've got even bigger problems there but we have some the same group

3:43

that were once aligned with us

3:44

at now almost mortal enemies because a believing and high and dry

3:49

in their case are getting assistance from Iran back troops militias out there

3:53

we have problems obviously in Syria and Libya because %uh vices

3:56

we've got problems because this administration has left us

3:59

in a boy/girl people are looking for America to stand up and take leadership

4:03

to play a commanding role to not do allow we need to act 00 we need to act

4:07

with our other allies around the world we need to work with a rare partners

4:10

like Egypt and Syria to show that we can put together global coal

4:14

coalition that will push back in Iran and will fight

4:18

radical Islamic terrorism wherever exist in the world

4:20

because we don't want washing up on American soil and you referenced earlier

4:23

that I sis is referred to by the present as the JV we all know that statement and

4:28

in fact

4:29

ices as we all know is al Qaeda in Iraq which

4:32

the president did not leave a transition force did not leave a quick reaction

4:35

force someone to usher in help

4:37

that new government what would you do right now

4:41

to help curtail the spread of what I sis is doing

4:44

obviously the beheadings and the the heinous acts by this group what would

4:48

you do differently

4:49

well again I think you've got to put together a global coalition it you can

4:53

add single to your enemies how far you're gonna go

4:56

so I've said I have not ruled out putting boots on the ground I'm

4:58

certainly not going to leave but that

5:00

got three wrist bands on my arm that come from gold star families

5:03

whose funeral attended a rule I work with in the past and I don't ever go to

5:08

a funeral like that or anyone else like that but for those men

5:10

and for other men and women like them I don't want to see that their lives

5:14

I have been lost in today and we need to make sure we take out radical Islamic

5:17

terrorism wherever it is

5:18

that means building a global coalition that means using a variety of things

5:22

from lethal

5:23

providing assistance lethal force the to Special Operations

5:27

the to again not ruling out to putting troops on the ground that's a last

5:30

resort

5:31

but it's one we should that be singling that we're not willing to do for willing

5:34

to take on this

5:35

I think long term generation arrest so you're not taking anything off the table

5:39

like the president has done it appears

5:42

and in addition to that you believe that that broad-based coalition

5:46

in addition to having all options on the table is the way to go

5:50

I think it really is and again you look at our allies

5:53

you look at I was just United Kingdom back the beginning of the year

5:56

certainly there looking for leadership others around the world but it's in

6:00

Germany or Poland

6:01

Australia or Japan or Canada we've got plenty of allies we work with in the

6:05

past

6:06

but I also think there's ability to bring together partners

6:09

in the Middle East certainly in the Arab world you look at what's happened to

6:13

that Jordanian pilot that was burned alive the caged

6:16

you look at what's happened with Egyptian Christians there's an interest

6:19

even in the Arab world the stand up and take on radical Islamic terrorism

6:22

I just think for most americans are people I talk to listening to voters out

6:26

there

6:26

they firmly believe it's better for us to take the fight to them the weight to

6:30

it comes to us

6:30

here on American soil so that it looks like senator Ted Cruz

6:33

Texas is getting into the presidential race tomorrow is best to challenge bird

6:37

virginia which a reaction why I think for republican voters in for americans

6:41

generally it's great to have any

6:43

actually choices what I hear when I travel this country is three simple

6:46

things say

6:47

voters tell me overwhelmingly they want a new fresh face if we're going to take

6:50

on someone from the past

6:52

in former secretaries take what we need a face for the future

6:55

secondly they tell me they want some with big bold ideas from outside

6:58

washington

6:59

and third the most important thing I think I hear over and over again

7:02

is they want some with a proven track record they want someone who doesn't

7:05

just talk about it but someone who's actually done it

7:08

and that's why I think there's incredible interest about the

7:10

possibility of us getting in the race

7:12

if there's others out there so much the better to have many great choices out

7:15

there but I think being a governor with a proven record

7:18

certainly something voters are looking at very closely and we know %uh view

7:21

record in

7:22

Wisconsin obviously unemployment loring in your battles

7:25

you i've had to fight for your job a couple a times what is your message to

7:29

the people of america what can you do for America as you have done for

7:33

Wisconsin

7:34

well features to get this race obvious I think a lot of people looked at

7:38

you know hundred thousand protesters four years ago take another challenge as

7:41

they know please say something we're not going to back down we're gonna do

7:44

exactly what we promised

7:45

people to see that we don't just fight but we fight and when for the

7:49

hardworking taxpayers

7:50

in if I chose to get in this race and if I was ultimately the honor of serving

7:54

I know that they would have an advocate every single day

7:58

that would get up and figure out how how to work to fight

8:01

to listen to first and foremost but then to fight for the hard-working

8:04

taxpayers this country and to win for them that they would have been at get so

8:08

that the hardworking taxpayers have this country will be back in charge your

8:11

Governor Scott Walker joining us live this morning for four thanks of a pond

8:15

and i'm looking for to your decision

8:16

thank you
