Im Jason Chaffetz in for sean. We witnessed history in the making from the middle east to Korean Peninsula to at home. This week, the Trump Administration saw consequencial progress all over the world. On tuesday when President Trump pulled the United States out of the onesided highly flawed Iranian Nuclear deal. The Iranian Regime is the leading state sponsor of terror. The deal allowed iran to continue enriching uranium and over time reach the brink of a nuclear breakout. This disastrous deal gave this regime and its a regime of great terror. Many billions of dollars. Some of it in actual cash. Today we have definitive proof that the iranian promise was a lie. Therefore, i am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. Up next on wednesday more progress in the middle east. According to reports, american and iraqi Intelligence Forces captured five Senior Members of isis. The Trump Administration saw major progress surrounding the push for peace on the Korean Peninsula. Early thursday morning, our prayers were answered. Three americans long held captive in north korea were released and landed at joint base andrews. Now President Trumps summit with kim jong un moving forward. Last night at a rally in indiana, President Trump reviewed his historic upcoming meeting. Take a look. President trump on june 12, in singapore, ill be meeting with kim jong un to pursue a future of peace and security for the world. For the whole world. You remember everybody in fake news when they were saying he is going to get us into a nuclear war. He is going to get into a nuclear war. You know what gets you into nuclear wars and you know what gets you into other wars . Weakness. Weakness. I think it is going to be a big one and if it isnt, it isnt. If it isnt, it isnt. You have to have that because you dont know. We are not going to be walked into an iran deal where the negotiator john kerry refused to leave the table. Obama, president obama. Paid 1. 8 billion for hostage hostages. You, not me, you last night you saw it. And again its leading to some very big things. I think that kim jong un, kim jong un did a Great Service to himself, to his country by doing this. But the hostages came out with respect. We didnt pay for them. We are going to set the table. We are going to make a great deal for the world for north korea, for south korea, for japan, for china. Joining us now with reaction is Fox News National security strategist sebastian gorka, chairman david avella and former obama economic adviser austan goolsbee. Austan, i want to start with you. The president deserves credit, doesnt he . Hostages coming home, muirment on next, capturing isis leaders . These are all good developments for the United States. Those two i not only have no problem, i think he does deserve credit. And i just dont want him to get the United States into an unnecessary war. If you look at korea, he has some unconventional diplomacy and thus far its working. I think he deserves applause for that. Capturing the isis leaders also he deserves applause for that. The iran deal im sure we will get into. I think all of our allies, plus by a 2 1 margin the American People believe its a bad mistake to pull out of that. I dont know where you come up with 21. The number one thing you need to have the polls. The number one thing you have to have is verification. We dont have that. You cant go anywhere, anytime to verify. Let me go to sebastian gorka. How do you see the iranian deal playing out and what move next do we see iran making . Within minutes of the president killing the jcpoa as he had to, i wrote in the hill we now follow the north korea playbook and we use the pyongyang method. With nikki haley and the state department and with the president leading the way we put the squeeze on north korea and they caved. They came to the negotiating table. We do the same thing with iran guess what . The europeans will follow the president s lead. We impose on them the toughest sanctions the world has ever seen until they start behaving like a normal country, or a quasi normal country again. David, let me go to you. The democrats, this puts them in a box. There was so much flailing about what President Trump was doing and you heard everyone saying it would lead to the catastrophe. This success, how do the democrats i know you are with go pak, but how do democrats react to this . We saw how they would react this week. Keep in mind President Trump made it a magnificent week for three american hostages. He made it a miserable week for Chuck Schumer. Because just as you pointed out, he has put Chuck Schumer in a box. All we can hear from Chuck Schumer this week is how bad this was that we got the hostages out. And austan talks about the 2 1 against the deal. One of the ones who didnt want to get in the deal he will remember was Chuck Schumer who didnt want this iran deal in the first place. Now we dont know where he is going to be. In fact, Chuck Schumer had such a horrible week, you wonder if he is trying to get his own wing in the political hall of shame. It was disgraceful how he acted this week. Austan, let me give you a chance to react to this. The republicans from Ronald Reagan now to donald trump have always believed in peace through strength. What is it that the democrats actually believe in . Well, wait a minute. Here you are trying to change the subject off of donald trump. Lets make it about Chuck Schumer and make it about Something Else. No, no, no. No, i didnt. I said what is the democrats belief on this . The democrats the not want us to get into a shooting war with the iranians. We already blew 2 trillion on the iraq war. How do we do that . John bolton is advocating aggressive military style action against them. You have all of our allies, who are the people we need to enforce sanctions against iran, that we had when we put in place the agreement. When we unilaterally pull out of the agreement we now cannot convince the other trading partners of iran to impose those sanctions. So we cant put in place the tough sanctions that will bring them to their knees. Its not possible. And we are encouraging saudi arabia to now get in to a Nuclear Arms Race with iran. Because as they Start Building centrifuges and enriching uranium again, the saudis have to do the same. This is a very dangerous game to play. Sebastian gorka, let me go to you. Also playing in the political hotbed is what is going on in jerusalem. We make a move to make the embassy there in jerusalem, how does this play into the whole dynamic in the middle east . Its a complete tectonic shifting of the geopolitics of the region. Thanks to the president , thanks to the riyadh speech and thanks to his killing the jcpoa iran deal, we have countries like saudi arabia that are now allies of israel. What austan says about well, this is going to press and result in war, you dont prevent a war by releasing 140 billion to a regime that is the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world. And sign a deal with them that actually means they can get Nuclear Weapons after seven years. That is not how you prevent a war. I want to tell him right now on Live Television across the country that european nations will follow our lead and they will join us in crippling sanctions. You can take that to the bank, austan. Do you think that is true . Of course its not true. What do you think they will do . What are they going to do without the United States . Right. When you say without the United States, they are going to commence trading with iran. No, theyre not. Is the United States going to shut down and launch a trade war against china let him finish the thought. I still havent heard him answer the question of do you believe in peace through strength . Nobody wants a shooting war. The other thing is our allies in europe who are relying upon the United States for pretty much everything in terms of safety and security, how can they not follow our lead. I want you to jump in to the opening up of the embassy in jerusalem. Okay. You have two different ones going there. In my opinion, iran has already announced that they are going to recommence introduce style enriching of uranium will lead to a Nuclear Proliferation and arms race of other middle Eastern Countries. Saudi arabia and iran are direct regional competitors so if iran immediately tries to get a Nuclear Weapon again, the saudis will have to do the same. That is why all of our nato allies, plus in the polling of 2 1 majority of americans, all the democrats and the significant number of republicans think that the president has made a mistake doing this. Now i will applaud him on north korea. I think the president is doing a good job exploring diplomacy. With iran we preemptively shot ourselves in the foot. I think we will see it play out. I think you are totally wrong. I think the unconventional approach from trump and peace through strength, i think the world understands when he speaks he means business about it. David, i want to give you a chance to weigh in on what is going on in jerusalem. A major move, major shift. The proximity with syria, iranians and what is going on there. How do you read that . Well, another position that Chuck Schumer was for. As has ever american president over the last couple of decades been for. Which is moving the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem. Listening to austan talk its not surprising that a position for democrats that john kerry runs to iran to try to keep a deal going. Like the schoolboy that kept giving money so he didnt get beat up by the bully. Now he is running over to give him more money to say hey, dont tell people i was giving you money not to beat me up. This is absurd the democrats position is we have to impede iran. Who is for us getting out of the iran deal . Other middle Eastern Countries who dont want iran to be a Nuclear Threat and use it to threaten them. Gentlemen, thank you for this evening. I appreciate your insight. There is more to discuss on this. We could do a whole show on how outrageous john kerrys actions have been in the middle east. Tried to undermine the strength of United States and what the president is trying to do in the region. Gentlemen, thank you again for joining us.

While President Trump continues to make huge Foreign Policy gains in the Korean Peninsula and beyond, the mueller witch hunt continues at home. Kim strassel at the wall street journal is out with a bombshell new piece titled what about that f. B. I. Source did the bureau engage in outright spying against the 2016 Trump Campaign . Joining me now to explain more from the wall street journal is the author of the piece kim strassel. Thank you so much for joining us. Give us a quick senap analysis of what you synopsis of what you found and why this is unusual in this setting. Up until last week all we knew was house intelligence chairman devin nunes had a new line of inquiry and was demanding new documents from the department of justice. In their desire to make chairman nunes look bad, and justify why they were not giving those documents, someone in the government leaked a lot of details about what was happening. It turns out he is asking about a top secret government source who has worked for the f. B. I. And the c. I. A. Who is a u. S. Citizen. Would seem to have some sort of entanglement with the foreign intelligence agencies or maybe his base overseas. Based on all of those bread crumbs and some reporting, ive got a pretty good sense of who it is. It does look as though indeed there was an f. B. I. Attempt, a successful one to basically go out and spy with a human asset on the Trump Campaign. Jason what about the timing in is the timing about all of this is critical. Do we understand the timing . What are the implications for that . Yeah. It is so important because remember the f. B. I. Has been doggedly sticking with this story that what initiated the counterintelligence probe was a tip they got in july about this supposed drunken conversation of a Junior Campaign aid named george papadopoulos. If for any reason we find out that this person, this asset of theirs was, in fact, surveilling or spying on the Trump Campaign prior to that time, then theyve got an issue, right . That is no longer their origin story and there must have been Something Else they based this on. Whether it be the dossier or some information they used as a reason to surveil the Trump Campaign. Jason how are we going to figure out the solution to this . Every time that trey gowdy, devin nunes and other goes to the department of justice they get the stiff arm, even though there are subpoenas in place. How do they figure this out . We have a great piece in the journal today by a formal f. B. I. Officer just talking and his job was to fulfill congressional requests. Talking about how obnoxious and outrageous it that the department of justice is not complying with simple requests and subpoenas from congress. The fact they didnt give the information over to chairman nunes all the way last year when he said he was investigating the f. B. I. s conduct is pretty striking. They are going to congress as a body and the good news is chairman nunes looks to have the backing of all the leadership and the other members in the republican party. Make it clear if the department of justice does not turn this over they will move to contempt. With any luck the white house is putting out a message they need to cooperate and hand over documents. Jason i thought the white house was backing up the department of justice at this point, werent they . Its interesting. The department of justice made a big deal in the letter to chairman nunes about how it had, this had all been done in consultation with the white house. Curiously it did agree to sit down with chairman nunes. Probably they have the order to accommodate him in some way. They are trying to do it without handing over the actual documents but if that is what nunes and others are after, it seems its what they have to hand over to fulfill the request. Jason as one who has been to the department of justice and sat in the meaning and listen to the blowhards tell me how congress has no right to see this stuff. It is offensive. At what point does the constitution come into play . They give lip service to oversight but they are leaking its pretty well documented that they are leaking. What is it they think they cant and s
