Thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. Thats it for this special report. Greta goes on the record in a couple of seconds. Tonight, either president obama is dangerously ignoring the obvious, or is he not talking to his cia director john brennan because the president told us two days ago that isis is on defense. But that is most certainly not what his own cia director said today. The cia director is warning us, isis is growing and has its eyes on the United States. Thats really disturbing that the two are telling americans two Different Things about extreme danger. And in just moments, senator Lindsey Graham and why he says the Obama Administration is to blame and right now presumptive g. O. P. President ial nominee donald trump says he will be the toughest on isis. And that includes not backing down on his temporary ban of muslims entering the United States. Donald trumps son eric trump joins us. Good evening, eric. Hi, greta, how are you . Good. I dont usually go to the family members to talk policy but tonight i want to talk to you a little bit about your fathers temporary ban because he seems to be doubling down on that. First, the news today with the cia director brennan saying that isis is growing. We are losing this war and its growing around the planet. So, tell me your thoughts on this. Listen, i think it fits into my fathers narrative directly, right . My father has been saying they are a problem. We have to do something about the problem. We have to keep borders in this country. We cant let people just randomly come into our country. He started by saying this about the wall. Then he talked about not letting hundreds and hundreds of thousands of refugees into this country which the cia was saying was infiltrated by isis. Then you had orlando, right . Which was an awful, awful tragedy it tears at the heart of america. How many more of these tragedies do we need to have before something is done . I mean, the president acknowledged radical islamic terrorism for the first time
yesterday. I mean, he hasnt even spoken about the issue. Its not surprising that we are not winning the war with him as commander in chief. You know, look, being commander in chief is a tough job and this is a tough enemy and isis is as vicious as you can get. So i have tried to press your father on, you know, what would do you . We all agree, were losing, except for apparently the president. He said that isis is on the defense. So he doesnt think that but the rest of us do. Building a wall isnt going to stop this one this one. This man in orlando, this killer, this savage in orlando. He was born in the United States and he got radicalized through the internet which no wall is going to stop the internet. So, you know, what would your fathers ban do to protect us from a guy like that. Listen, have to start there, right . Because there are tens and tens of thousands of others who want to come into this country. Greta, you have to start by preventing those people to come into this country. You have to utilize our intelligence agencies. We have wonderful people. The people in the fbi are
terrific right you . Need to utilize them and go out and find these people and be very, very, very tough on these people. You need to bring the fight to them as well. Listen, one thing i will tell you about my father is there is no tougher guy. He is an amazing father. He is a great person. But, believe me, when it comes to terrorism, there will be no harder guy in the world. I guess the problem is so, you know, in many ways so complex. It is. You have got amir hekmati, a u. S. Marine in iran. Sure. He is muslim. His brotherinlaw who is an Orthopedic Surgeon and great guy, they are muslims and, you know, their children getting, you know, things that are said school muslims who are lawful. What are we going to do sort of separating out the extremists who want to kill us and the good muslims who are our friends . Yeah, listen, i think thatsmilliondollar question, right . Its a very, very hard thing. You, again, have to make sure those people arent coming into our country. You cant let 200,000 people into our country when you know a certain percentage in that group are going to have bad, bad intentions. You have to use intelligence
agencies to figure out who is in this country and who has bad intentions and make sure they cant strike out. You cannot have another 9 11. You cant have another brussels. You cant have another orlando. We have been hit by too many of these attacks and they simply have to stop. We have to protect the home front. Hillary isnt doing that her Foreign Policy quite frankly created much of this destabilization in the middle east which created isis. The commander in chief isnt doing anything he hasnt acknowledged the enemy by their name until yesterday. Quite frankly he didnt call the governor of the state until yesterday which is a disgrace. I dont usually talk policy with the family members so let me go to a family issue. This is what melania trump, your stepmother had to say about her relationship with the families. Lets listen to this. You know, his other children, of course. Yes. Do you get along with them . Very nice children. We have a great relationship, and now that we are traveling a lot for the debates and went to iowa and new hampshire, we spend
a lot of time together. So very nice kids. So you are a very nice kid. Whats it like being muhammad melanias stepson . She is great. One thing give her credit for she is amazing mom to barron. Is he very young and in school. She has never taken him out of school to go on the campaign trail or use him as a pawn which you see so often in the political arena. She has always told him barron, you focus on school and your priorities. You are growing up. This is a very, very tough world. Meaning campaigns, you focus on school. She is an amazing mother. She is incredibly solid person and amazing wife to my father. She is supportive. We have a really great relationship, we really, really do. She is solid as a rock. There is no one better to be by his side this whole campaign. We all in the media beat up on everybody. We beat up on your father and on you because you are out there. When we beat up on your father, is it tough on your stepmother, melania . Yeah, listen, i think its tough on all of us. I love my father to death. Obviously she is married to him. Its tough on all of us. You have to have armor. Is he running as commander in chief of the United States. You if you dont have the armor you shouldnt be running. He has the toughest citizen skin i know. Dont get me wrong, greta, there are times i wanted to jump through the tv tackle someone who is saying something so false about him. My father has been great man. He has been incredible mentor my entire life to donee, ivanka and barron. One of the best friends in the world. You take that to heart. You just have to have that armor. Eric, thank you very much for joining us, i hope you come back. Thank you, greta. Great you. Terrifying warning from the cia director our fight against isis. You will hear from him in a second. Remember when president obama said this on tuesday . Our Coalition Continues to be on offense. Isil is on defense and its now been a full year since isil has been able to mount a major successful offensive operation in either syria or iraq. But then today, his cia director john brennan who works for him disagreed and sounded this alarm. Unfortunately, despite all our progress against isil on the battlefield and in the financial realm, our efforts have not reduced the groups terrible capability and global reach. Moreover the groups foreign branches could help preserve capacity for terrorism regardless of convenience in iraq and syria. In fact, as the pressure mounts on isil, we judge that it will intensify as global Terror Campaign to maintain its dominance of the global terrorism agenda. South carolina senator Lindsey Graham goes on the record. Nice to see you, senator. Thank you. Senator john mccain said earlier today that president obama is directly responsible for Orlando Attack but then he clarified it a little bit later in a tweet to clarify i was
referring to president Obamas National Security decisions that have led to the rise of isil not to the president on this. Where are you on this. John is right about this. Theres would be no isil. You did your job, the surge did work. Al qaeda and iraq predecessor to isil was on their needs. The military add vips 10,000 troops in iraq stabilize it he pulled them all out. Help the Free Syrian Army when assad is on the rope if you dont the tear up the parm. The decision to abandon iraq and not help free the syrian army three or four years ago gave isil a foot hold in syria and iraq. The rest is history. Barack obama is to blame for the rise of isil. He has dismantled the ability to defend this country. We no longer interrogate terror suspects. We read them their rights and put them in federal court. We have less federal agents in 2017 than 2013. In that regard i blame president obama. The way i look at this, going back a number of years, i look at this like cancer in the body. If you get the first little tumor before it miss as it size to the brain and lureng and everywhere else. Last several years isis just not on the battlefield but beheading, charlie hebdo, paris last november 139. We have had belgium and sphwarn, intern. Inspired by isis. Can i add one . Libya. This president undersells the threats. He says there is no evidence this man was directed by isil. Isil is still strong in the minds of twisted people like this. They still follow ago bad daddys call to attack in place. So, without a caliphate. Without al baghdadi land and control, he would not be the win everywhere of this crazy
guy in orlando. It was a directed attack in the sense that people like this man believe isil, theyre winners. Secretary clinton said earlier this week in her speech she said we need to destroy isis which i agree instead of contain. I shaw that as a reference to the president s Foreign Policy. It is a rebuke of Foreign Policy. His goal is to descroif isil. Isil will be in iraq and libya. If you listen to his cia terkt this war has escalated. President doesnt want to escalate the war. The enemy is getting stronger and we are getting weaker. Brennan is saying, despite what you hear from the president , im being overloaded in terms of trying to protect the nation from isil fighters, no matter what they iraq and syria. Less fbi agents than they were in 2017 than there were in 2013. We are destroying defense
budget. The president s is not being honest with you about the nature of the threat. Is he lying . I think he is delusional about the status of isil. I think he intentionally underestimates the athletic threat because he is trying to show that his policies are working when they are not. He has this model of trying to lead from behind. It is collapsing. There are going to be more attackstacks in america because when we capture somebody under president obama, we read them their rights, rather than gathering intelligence. So is president obama ignoring the cia director . Why would the cia director john brennan say isis is as dangerous as ever and president obama say isis is on the defense . The on the record Political Panel is here. From town hall. Com guy benson and from the magazine from Time Magazine zeke miller. Why the contrast . We just heard the president say isis or irs sill was on the defense and now today. When you talk to the
folks at the white house lastier and a half, we like to talk about this two different wars. You have the on the ground war so the territorial isis in iraq and syria now extending into libya. Sort of what they have done on the ground. The territory they have amassed. Thats where the sort of the what they would call the the air and ground war in iraq and syria has, you know, shown some progress. Thats what the president is talking about how they have lot a lot of ground. Second par which is influence overseas and in the United States. Thats a big one. We had 49 people slaughtered on that big one. I feel bad for the people overs i fiesel bad for the family members in orlando. Brennans comments is why the when you say and this president would prefer to be talking about guns as opposed to isis which is the actual root problem here. This is not a surprise. A few weeks ago the former Deputy Director of the cia
came out and fitting. A bunch of spies have come okay ought tond he would the press we had intelligence on isis that was ignored repeatedly by the white house and white washed by the administration. This has been a threat that has been consistently undersold. There is something bizarre. I hate to keep hitting the president over the head with this. But remember a couple years back he said that isis was jv. Jv . Anything but jv. We are losing to jv thawnd director. Why is he doing this . We had a very different time messaging about this threat. Its not complicated. I mean, people inspired about this and they do it. Very simple. Rare and apparent here. The sims are. The question is what do they do about it. One of the solutions they can do is much of this is fueled by social media they have access to facebook, to twitter, they are sending
out messages. You know, we could be a lot more sophisticated and get twitter to shut down isis accounts. Get facebook to shut it down. That would be one way because they are recruiting there to what jesus christ just said complicated and complex messaging for the white house. Whats ironic thats what they might say now. What they used to do is rely on simple messaging which is we have ended the where in wrawk thats why is what it is vociferously withdrew. They had a simple message for years including in the reelect we ended two wars. Do they get it now that they are in trouble . I mean that we are in trouble. They certainly get it now. You remember Disastrous Press Conference overseas after the paris attacks. Thats when the president said he was short of shocked looking at the news and how it was being portrayed here. They certainly get it now. He doesnt have the answer. He didnt go and march with all those other leaders at charlie hebdo. There are some times when we are saying he doesnt get it. Terrible he qunt burglar with all their other worlds leaders. For some reason he doesnt get it, anyway, now back to the campaign trail. Thank you both. Donald trump is taking on texas. Crump is holding a bar famous for mechanical bull. Fox news chief Political Correspondent carl cameron is inside the trump event. Carl . Hi, greta. Clarification here micky gilleys ballroom in dallas. The place that you are talking about is gilleys in houston with the famous mechanical bull back to the urban cowboys days. Trump has a big rally planned here today. Potential for a little bit of volatility tonight. Yesterday the Dallas Police and various different Law Enforcement federal and local went through some essentially some drills preparing for the demonstrations expected tonight. Some of the antitrump activists say they are
expecting anywhere between 1 and 5,000 proceeds on the streets and several are closed off around us. The trump called to us point out this incident is isnt going to hold the number of rsvp they got. 18,000 people rsvp wanted and want to do come to tonights event they are not going to fit into this room. With the protesters outside in what has been a 90plus degree day in dallas those folk who want to come in and see trump are going to stand outside and not get in and walk past the protesters. This was a day in which trump attacked heather pick as well as the labor union endorsed her today. And touch reduced a statement saying clinton did he go the ceo of wall street. Worse off if Hillary Clinton will be president. Trump boasted he thinks he will get the majority of
labor votes. Texas is historically conservative red state. And, yet, trumps candidacy has the demonstrators in the Democratic Party in this state. Ego eagerly thinking there is a possibility they could get real political gains in texas for one reason, particularly, 38 of the population here is hispanic. And many of them are very upset about trumps rhetoric about my grants and immigrants coming across the border and building a wall. Things of that nature. He hasnt had a lot of problems with i had rally. Tonight might be tension in the streets, greta. Carl, refresh your recollection, did senator ted cruz of texas ever endorse donald trump or not . No, not yet. The candidates have all said that they will keep their pledges. John kasich has been seemingly the most wavering. He will say ultimately he will support of the thom knee. If there is to be never stop movement rifles. Some of thifs staffs on the
campaign trail have dib to do look for ways in which they it in be able to dump trump. Doesnt think its likely but still discussion about it. Thank you. Praising for antitrump protests, some people have already gathered. Casey stegall is live in the middle of it. Casey . Yeah, greta. I can tell you as carl was saying they were expecting protesters in the thousands. Right now we are still, you know, still about 40 minutes or so from the eventually beginning. But i can tell you in this corner where all of the opposition is based, we have asked the police. They estimate the crowd at about 300 at the moment. But, again, we have got 40 minutes or so until the actual event set begins inside. I want to show you around. It has been relatively spaceful. Some say no profanities, children here young and old. They want to keep it
peaceful. Just in case, there is a big Police Presence here as you can imagine. Dallas police are on stand by. They are on the ready the barricades have been set up. And then back there you see gilleys the actual vin you where carl is inside and mr. Trump will be speaking. And then look straight ahead, if you will, see that big Dallas Police mobile command unit . On the other side of that is a second area where people are gathering. And those are for supporters of trump. Police are trying to keep the two crowds apart. They are trying to get the supporters over there who were unable to get a ticket to actually go inside and
