6th, AVENUE.

STOP BUY HE MAKES YOU A BURGER.

BRIAN: SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM

JOINS FROM US CLEMSON.

MEMBER OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY

COMMITTEE, FOREIGN RELATIONS

COMMITTEE.

IN TERMS OF FOREIGN POLICY,

ONE-STOP SHOPPING EVERYTHING

THATyTJjT

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

COMES BACK FROM THE G7.

SOME NEWS CAME OUT OF IT.

PRESIDENT OF IRAN, ROUHANI,

SAID, QUOTE, IF I POSSIBLY

MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT, SAID

IN TELEVISED SPEECH, IF I KNEW

THERE WOULD BE A MEETING,

VISITING A PERSON WOULD HELP MY

COUNT VERY'S DEVELOPMENT SOLVE

PROBLEMS OF THE PEOPLE, I WOULD

NOT MISS IT.

THAT IS MAJOR DIFFERENCE I WILL

NEVER MEET WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP

HE SAID A MONTH AGO.

DO YOU BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT

SHOULD FOLLOW THROUGH WHAT

MACRON IS TRYING TO BROKER THAT

IS A MEETING WITH ROUHANI OF

IRAN?

>> I REALLY DON'T CARE IF THEY

MEET.

I APPRECIATE WHAT PRESIDENT

TRUMP HAS DONE TO CRUSH THE

IRANIAN ECONOMY.

THEY ARE TRYING TO BUILD A

NUCLEAR WEAPON, DISMEMBER THE

MID-EAST.

THE QUESTION IS, WHAT WILL THEY

TALK ABOUT?

THERE IS NO GOOD DEAL THAT WILL

ALLOW IRAN TO ENRICH, PROCESSING

URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM.

THAT IS HOW AWE MAKE A BOMB.

THE ONLY GOOD DEAL IS HAVE THEIR

NUCLEAR PROGRAM.

THEY GET THEIR FUEL FROM OTHER

SOURCES.

THAT IS HOW YOU MAKE A BOMB.

AINSLEY: WHAT REACTION TO THE

STATES, THERE ARE 19 STATES,

D.C. SUING THE ADMINISTRATION

BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT WANTS TOç

END THE FLORES AGREEMENT.

HE WANT CHILDREN TO STAY WITH

THEIR FAMILIES IN THE DETENTION

CENTER UNTIL THEY FACE THE JUDGE

WHICH COULD TAKE 40 TO 60 DAYS?

>> THESE STATES ARE SUPPORTING

THE MAGNETS OF ILLEGAL

IMMIGRATION.

THE REASON WE'RE BEING OVERRUN

IS TWO REASONS.

IF YOU COME HERE AND CLAIM

ASYLUM YOUR HEAR SOMETHING THREE

YEARS AWAY, YOU NEVER SHOW UP.

WE DON'T HOLD PEOPLE FOR THREE

YEARS.

ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS ASK FOR

ASYLUM.

IF YOU BRING A MINOR CHILD, WE

CAN ONLY HOLD THE CHILD 20 DAYS.

TURN THE CHILD TO HHS.

SINCE YOU DON'T WANT TO SEPARATE

FAMILIES, WE LET ENTIRE FAMILY

GO.

THEY CONTINUE A BAD PRACTICE.

SHAME ON STATES AND DISTRICT OF

COLUMBIA.

CONGRESS SHOULD CHANGE THE LAW

TO HOLD MINOR CHILDREN AND

FAMILIES LONG ENOUGH TO PROCESS

THE CLAIMS SO YOU DENT LET THEM

OUT INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE

COUNTRY.

STEVE: EXPLAIN TO US, SENATOR,

WE'VE BEEN CHEWING ON THIS A

WHILE, WHY HAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT

ISSUE BECOME SO POLITICAL?

DEMOCRATS DO NOT WANT --

>> THEY HATE TRUMP.

THEY HATE TRUMP.

STEVE: WE GET THAT.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THIS IS A

HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AT OUR

SOUTHERN BORDER.

IT WOULD SEEM THAT YOU KNOW --

>> THEY HATE TRUMP.ç

>> I KNOW THEY HATE TRUMP.

I KNOW, WE SEND YOU PEOPLE TO

WASHINGTON TO FIX STUFF AND

YOU'RE NOT FIXING IT?

>> SEND PEOPLE TO WASHINGTON WHO

DON'T HATE TRUMP.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON

IMMIGRATION FOR 10 YEARS.

I'M WILLING TO DEAL WITH DACA

POPULATION.

GIVE THEM A PLACE TO STAY IN

COUNTRY.

PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP.

I'M WILLING TO SPEND MONEY IN

CENTRAL AMERICA TO MAKE LIFE

BETTER.

I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING I KNOW TO

DO, TURN BLUE IN THE FACE, CAN'T

GET ONE DEMOCRAT TO AGREE WITH

ME YOU SHOULD APPLY FOR ASYLUM

IN CENTRAL AMERICA, MEXICO, NOT

THE UNITED STATES, BECAUSE WE

DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO

DEAL WITH ASYLUM CLAIMS.

MOST OF THEM ARE FRAUDULENT.

I CAN'T GET ONE DEMOCRAT TO

AGREE TO ALLOW CHILDREN HELD

WITH THEIR FAMILIES HUMANELY,

40, 50, 100 DAYS TO PROCESS

CLAIMS.

THEY LITERALLY WANT THEM

RELEASED IN THE UNITED STATES.

THEY CONTINUE PRACTICE OF ASYLUM

APPLIED FOR IN THE UNITED

STATES.

IT HAS NEVER ENDING TRAIL.

THE TRAIL TO GET HERE IS

TERRIBLE FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

THEY WILL NOT WORK WITH

PRESIDENT TRUMP.

I AM DUMFOUNDED WHY WE CAN'T

FIND COMPROMISE.

BRIAN: YOU HAD A GREAT

COMPROMISE BILL GOT OUT OF

COMMITTEE.

THE CHANCE OF 60ç VOTES IN THE

SENATE, IN THE HOUSE AS WELL.

PIVOT TO AFGHANISTAN.

SEPTEMBER 1st LOOKS AS

THOUGH THE NINTH ROUND OF TALKS

IS SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE A PEACE

AGREEMENT WITH AFGHANISTAN, VERY

SOON ALL THE TROOPS COME OUT.

THE TALIBAN HAVE HALF THE

COUNTRY.

THEY'RE WORKING ON A DEAL WITH

THE TALIBAN I GUESS TO GIVE IT

ALL BACK.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST CONCERN?

MANY PEOPLE LISTENING SAID I'M

DONE WITH THAT WAR.

WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR 19

YEARS.

WHAT DOES LINDSEY GRAHAM SAY IS

AT STAKE?

>> RIGHT.

WELL, NUMBER OF ONE, YOU MAY BE

TIRED OF FIGHTING RADICAL ISLAM,

THEY ARE NOT TIRED OF FIGHTING

YOU.

YOU MIGHT GET A PEACE DEAL WITH

THE TALIBAN.

THE PRESIDENT PUT A HURTING OF

THE TALIBAN.

THEY HAVE 30% OF THE COUNTRY.

20% OF THE PUBLIC AGREES WITH

THEM IN AFGHANISTAN.

80% DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO

THE GOOD OL' DAYS OF TALIBAN

WHERE YOU KILL WOMEN IN SOCCER

STADIUMS FOR SPORT AND YOUNG

WOMEN CANNOT EVER GO TO SCHOOL.

YOU MIGHT END THE WAR WITH

TALIBAN.

AL QAEDA IS ALIVE AND WELL IN

AFGHANISTAN.

ISIS IS STRONGER TODAY THAN THEY

EVER HAVE BEEN IN AFGHANISTAN.

THEY WILL HIT US IF WE LEAVE.

I'M TELLING THE PRESIDENT, I

APPLAUD YOU FOR TRYING TO LOWER

THE COST.

YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB HURTING

TALIBAN.

YOU CAN'T TRUST THE TALIBAN TO

TAKE CARE OF ISIS AND AL QAEDA.

THERE ISç NO SUBSTITUTE FOR

AMERICAN FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN

TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN HOMELAND

FROM RADICAL ISLAM.

THERE WILL BE ANOTHER 9/11 IF WE

PULL THE PLUG.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, ASK THE

GENERALS IN THE INTELLIGENCE

COMMUNITY.

>> HOW MANY, HOW LONG?

HOW MANY TROOPS, HOW LONG SHOULD

THEY STAY?

>> UNDER 10,000.

THAT IS GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT BY

PRESIDENT TRUMP, UNTIL THE

THREAT IS ALLEVIATED.

UNTIL AL QAEDA AND ISIS NO

LONGER CAN ENJOY SAFE HAVEN,

UNTIL THEIR NUMBERS ARE

DIMINISHED THEY CAN'T HER US.

OUR SECURITY IS NOT BASED ON THE

DAY WE LEAVE, BUT WHAT WE LEAVE

BEHIND.

WE STILL HAVE TROOPS IN KOREA.

WE STILL HAVE TROOPS IN JAPAN,

GERMANY.

WE LOST TWO AMERICAN SOLDIERS A

COUPLE DAYS AGO.

THEY WERE DEFENDING AMERICA FROM

AL QAEDA AND ISIS.

AL QAEDA AND ISIS ARE NOT

INTERESTED IN PEACE.

THEY ARE INTERESTED IN PURIFYING

ISLAM, DESTROYING ALL THE JEWS

THEY CAN, DESTROYING ISRAEL AND

COMING AFTER US.

IF YOU DON'T GET THAT AFTER THE

LAST 18 YEARS, YOU'RE NOT

WATCHING WHAT IS GOING ON IN

AFGHANISTAN AND THROUGHOUT THE

WORLD.

SO THE GOOD NEWS IS, WE CAN

PROTECT THE AMERICAN HOMELAND

FOR LESS THAN 10,000 TROOPS WITH

INTEL CAPABILITY.

IF WE PULL THE PLUG AND TURN

AFGHANISTAN OVER TO THE TALIBAN

AND OTHER ELEMENT, THEY'RE

COMING BACK HERE AGAIN AND THAT

WOULD BE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE ANY

PRESIDENT WOULD MAKE.

BRIAN: ARE WE ABOUT TO,ç SENATO,

ARE WE ABOUT TO DO THAT, DO YOU

THINK?

>> I DON'T THINK SO.

I HAVE TALKED TO PRESIDENT

TRUMP.

HE UNDERSTANDS THE NEED FOR A

COUNTERTERRORISM FORCE TO WATCH

AL QAEDA AND ISIS WHO WILL NEVER

BE PART OF A PEACE DEAL.

HE UNDERSTANDS THE INTELLIGENCE

GATHERING CAPABILITY WE HAVE IN

AFGHANISTAN, NOT ONLY PROTECTS

US, PROTECTS THE WHOLE REGION.

HE IS ABOUT TO START A NEW

RELATIONSHIP WITH PAKISTAN WHERE

PAKISTAN WILL DENY SAFE HAVEN TO

THE TALIBAN.

I LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FOREIGN

POLICY HE IS FRUSTRATED ABOUT

THE WAR BUT 18 YEARS AGO THE

TALIBAN RULED AFGHANISTAN

BRUTALLY.

HOW MANY COUNTRIES CAN BE FORMED

IN 18 YEARS?

SIX MILLION GIRLS ARE IN SCHOOL

TODAY.

THERE IS A LOT OF ACTIVITY,

ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN

AFGHANISTAN.

THEY'RE TRADING WITH THE WORLD,

INCLUDING US.

THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF

PROGRESS.

IT HAS COME AT A HEAVY PRICE.

THE ONE THING ABOUT THE WAR IN

AFGHANISTAN, IF YOU TAKE YOUR

EYE OFF THE BALL IT WILL COME

HERE.

THIS IS WHERE THE 9/11 PLOTS

WERE HATCHED AND PLANNED.

WHEN THE TALIBAN TOOK OVER,

INVITED AL QAEDA TO BE THEIR

HONORED GUESTS.

THAT IS HOW 9/11 STARTED.

THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN IF WE

LEAVE BUT THE GOOD NEWS WE CAN

KEEP A SMALL FORCE THERE AND BE

SAFE.

AINSLEY: SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEINGç WITH
