>> Laura: PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE
THE HISTORIC DECISION TODAY TO
WITHDRAW THE U.S. FROM THE
NUCLEAR DEAL WITH IRAN.
HE ALSO SIGNED A MEMO SLAPPING
TOUGH SANCTIONS ON THE IRANIAN
REGIME.
U.S. ALLIES HAVE COMPLAINED THAT
LEAVING THE DEAL COULD BE
DANGEROUS, BUT THE PRESIDENT
SAID IT'S MORE DANGEROUS TO KEEP
THE DEAL IN PLACE.
>> THE IRAN DEAL IS DEFECTIVE AT
ITS CORE.
IF WE DO NOTHING WE KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
IN JUST A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME,
THE WORLD'S LEADING STATE
SPONSOR OF TERROR WILL BE ON THE
CUSP OF ACQUIRING THE WORLD'S
MOST DANGEROUS WEAPONS.
AT THE HEART OF THE IRAN DEAL
WAS A GIANT FICTION, THAT A
MURDEROUS REGIME DESIRED ONLY A
PEACEFUL NUCLEAR ENERGY PROGRAM.
TODAY WE HAVE DEFINITIVE PROOF
THAT THIS IRANIAN PROMISE WAS A
LIE.
>> Laura: ON TOP OF THAT, MORE
HUGE NEWS.
THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED THAT THE
TIME, DATE AND LOCATION HAVE
BEEN SET FOR A SETTLEMENT WITH
NORTH KOREAN NORTH KOREAN LEADER
KIM JONG UN.
AND SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE
POMPEO IS NOW IN NORTH KOREA FOR
A SECOND TIME TO PAVE THE WAY
FOR THE TALKS.
MOMENTS AGO I SPOKE EXCLUSIVELY
WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NATIONAL
SECURITY ADVISOR JOHN BOLTON
ABOUT TODAY'S DEVELOPMENT.
>> THIS IS A BIG DAY TODAY.
PEOPLE ARE FREAKING OUT, THE
USUAL SUSPECTS ARE FREAKING OUT.
A COUPLE OF OTHER NOT SO USUAL
SUSPECTS.
THIS IS WHAT THE DEMOCRATS SET
ABOUT THIS DEAL BACK IN 2015
WHEN OBAMA HAD NEGOTIATED IT.
LET'S WATCH.
>> THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF OUR
NEGOTIATION WAS TO ENSURE THAT
THERE WOULD BE NO PATHWAY FOR
IRAN TO ACHIEVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS
CAPABILITIES.
THIS DEAL DOESN'T ACHIEVE THAT.
>> THIS AGREEMENT IS TOO FLAWED
AND TOO DANGEROUS FOR US.
>> I READ THE JOINT
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF ACTION
LAST NIGHT, OVER 100 PAGES.
I WILL BE HONEST, I WAS
SKEPTICAL GOING IN.
THERE'S NOTHING I READ LAST
NIGHT THAT ALLEVIATES MY
SKEPTICISM.
>> THE FACT IS THE DEAL HAS BEEN
FLAWED FROM THE BEGINNING.
I THINK THE PRESIDENT LAID THAT
CASE OUT IN HIS STATEMENT TODAY.
HE GAVE THE EUROPEANS AND OTHERS
A CHANCE TO FIX IT.
IT WAS NOT DOABLE BECAUSE THE
FLAWS GO RIGHT TO THE
FOUNDATIONS OF THE DEAL.
HE DID WHAT HE CLEARLY
ADVERTISED HE WAS GOING TO DO AS
FAR BACK AS THE 2016 CAMPAIGN,
PULLED THE UNITED STATES OUT OF
THE DEAL.
WHY?
BECAUSE IT'S IN OUR SECURITY
INTEREST TO GET OUT OF THIS
FLAWED DEAL.
>> Laura: JOHN KERRY TODAY
EXPLAINED WHY HE WAS DOING HIS
OWN LITTLE VERSION OF TALKING TO
IRAN.
>> UNTIL TODAY, UNTIL THIS
AFTERNOON THE POLICY OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS TO
