But first this morning, President Trump declared the dawn as a new middle east on tuesday, after presiding over the official signing of the first Peace Agreement between israel and an arab state since 1994. Sec of state mike pompeo toured the region last month and witnessed the geopolitical implications of this treaty firsthand. He joins me right now, secretary good morning to you. Thanks very much for being here. Maria its great to be with you thanks for having me on the show this morning. Maria i want to discuss the magnitude of this agreement in a moment but first i do want to get your thoughts on Justice Ginsburgs passing this morning. Well we always mourn the loss of life. She was an amazing hard working woman committed to her vision of america. We pray for her and her family and her service to america is un questionable. She was doing her best every day to try and deliver on the things she cared about deeply and she had a real impact on our country maria she sure did, and theres such conversation this morning about that impact. Secretary, i want to ask you about this incredible middle east situation, the significance of tuesdays signing. How it will make the mid east better. Walk us through how this all came about. Why now . Yeah, so thats the right question these overnight successes as you know maria in life are from years of hard work for three years President Trump has taken a fundamentally different approach, the establishment middle east policy was that you had to resolve the conflict between israel and the palestinians first. The president came to understand quickly that the real threat to these countries was the Islamic Republic of iran so we flipped the narrative. We worked to deliver a coalition to get the gulf states to work together, to convince them that they could in fact work alongside and partner with and do commerce with the state of israel and recognize them and that they be safer, their people be more prosperous. Those are the central underpinnings and it then took action. It took principled action on behalf of President Trump and our administration to convince them that the americans be there , and whether that was the decision to move the embassy to jerusalem, to acknowledge that it properly belonged to israel, all things previous president s just said were nuts that you couldnt do it was against the establishments vision for how to create stability in the middle east and the work we did to kill souleman i, and take down an enormous threat. I think those things gave those middle Eastern States the trust and confidence the United States would stand behind its commitments and created the space for that one but two agreements the first two in over a quarter of a century between israel and the uaeh and between israel and bahrain that will make the lives better for each of the people of each of those three countries its quite a momentous day we hope theres more to follow. Maria and american negotiations have tried this for years, decades, and with no success. What was it about this administrations prodding this administrations laying out the potential for peace and progress that really moved the needle here and are there other countries lining up to perhaps engage in a similar deal to normalize relationships with israel . Yes, maria there will be other countries that will make the right decision to recognize that israel has its right to exist and they will want to do business with them and want to connect with them and want their people to have exchanges. I saw the number of linkedin exchanges between the United Arab Emirate and israel, off the charts the day after this announcement. The people of those countries understand that this historic rejection of israel, its right to exist was the wrong thing tok so i think youll see more nations follow and make the right decision. What created the opportunity was the recognition that the way to create stability was to make iran more isolated and weve done that. Its been talked about how america has been isolated and nothing could be further from the truth. Israel has more partners more friends and the United States has more partners and more friends in the region than any time in recent history and they did that because it came to trust President Trump and his team be there with them and would do the right thing by them and we would support them when they made the right decision to recognize the state of israel. Maria are you expecting retaliation of any sort from iran . And what has been the reaction from the leaderships of these countries in the face of pushback from iran . Are they getting bullied by the iranian officials . Remember theres two things going on. One with had this deal and then last night at midnight, the sun sanctions snapped back putting in another increasing restraint on the capacity for the Islamic Republic of iran and we now the United States has led and will prevent our arms traffic king by iran. The previous deal with secretary kerry and Vice President biden signed off was to allow the iranians on octobes again its nuts absolutely nuts, and we stopped that. We stopped it last night, with action at the United Nations well talk more about that tomorrow. But iran has been implementing terror in the region for 40 years since the resolution. Theres no reason to expect they have any way of getting out of the box and changing their ideology and their theocratic nature and what President Trump is said were going to deny resources were not going to send crates of cash and not allow them to do business in the world and not allow them to create the very wealth that destroys the opportunity for peace in the region. Ill give you another example. Everyone wants lebanon to get better. President macron is leading an effort there and yet the europeans have not joined us in stopping arm trafficking those weapons that iran will sell will end up in the hands of hezbollah and make life tragic ally worse for the people of lebanon but the world needs to unite around the central idea the Islamic Republic run is the greatest threat and when that regime changes its behavior we have a chance to create true global stability in the region its what weve been working on and what President Trump asked us to do and three years in we can show the fruits of that effort. Maria yeah, where is europe in this . Similar situation as it relates to china, youve got 30 countries pushing back of huawei and were still waiting on any resolution in europe, same with iran. Can you talk about that a bit and just give me the practical changes that well see as a result of this snapback in sanctions on iran . So the second question is it practical, there will be a whole lot more things that would have taken place, absent the Un Security Council resolutions coming back into effect last night, air defense system, arms sales, all of those in a couple weeks would have been permitted to have been sold and the europeans have not joined us in this. They know were right. They tell us privately we dont want the arm sales to come back and they put it in the letter they are very concerned about these sales but they havent lifted a finger and done the work that needs to be done. They have no option, no alternative what weve done to ensure that will happen. I hope they will get to the right place. They are still wedded to this silly nuclear deal that was signed now five years ago. I hope they will come to understand that if you really want to lead, if you want to be part of a Global Coalition to reduce risk in the middle east when you need to join us and we need these sanctions to snapback europe is getting better, maria with respect to how theyre thinking about china. We spent a couple years just sharing the risks with them. Well begin an eu China Dialogue before too terribly long and we begin to have conversations about how we can together put down this threat from the Chinese Communist party that it presents to the freedom, to religious freedom, to commerce and trade, all of the things that western nations value. All of the value sets that we hold, will pushback and im hopeful that the europeans will get or many of the countries have already, i hope the larger ones will join us in this as well. Maria well youve done an incredible job on this real quick before you go, china and weve spoken about this so much over the last several years, and you have been the First Administration because of your work, the president s work, on pushing back on the bad behavior of china. Theyre still doing business with iran and now, the president is giving his blessing to this deal between tiktok, oracle , and walmart. Can you explain how this is not a National Security risk, secretary because bite dance, the Chinese Company, still owns 80 of Tiktok Global and we know that if the Chinese Communist party wants that data of american citizens theyre going to get it surf en the Civil Military fusion laws in china, so how is this not a risk . Yeah, maria youve nailed the right point with respect to we chat and tiktok and all that other Chinese Telecommunications companies weve been working on, huawei for years now. The single rule is this. We dont want american data in the hands of the Chinese Communist party for the exact reasons you describe. It will end up in the hands of their mss, their Security Apparatus their military, their Civil Military Fusion Program so thats the rule President Trump laid down. As for the transaction around tiktok, ive seen the outlines of it. The president now has said hes conditionally okay with what theyre doing. This deal, if approved, in the end, if ultimately approved, will ensure that no americans data has any access to anyone in china, that has any capacity, to move this to a place we dont want it. We will ensure that that firewall is real, that the protection is serious, that the data resides in places that are connected to the chinese information system, whether theres still some chinese ownership will they still collect a royalty check from the benefits of the business . There will be an american headquarters and itll be controlled by americans and the data, most importantly the data, the very reason we have gone after tiktok, that data will be in a place that we have confidence, that no american will have the risk that their data will end up in the hands of the Chinese Communist party. Maria not accessible by the company that owns 80 of the franchise . Bite dance, Chinese Company . Think about oil deals i used to do oil deals all the time i didnt have any access to the companys information i just got a royalty check right . Thats the situation. Just a passive shareholder who collects money or writes a check if the company is not doing well. No access to the company, no decisionmaking authority, no ability to peer into what theyre doing just the passive shareholder and President Trump has made clear, he will make sure that this is solid that it is locked in. Hes not going to leave open the possibility this information will get into the hands of the very people we went after this to make sure they did not have. Maria secretary its great to see you this morning thanks so much for your leadership sir we appreciate your time today. Thank you, maria. Have a good day. Maria ill see you soon and to you, secretary of state mike pompeo.

What youre made of were made for maria welcome back this morning we pause to remember Justice Ruth Bader ginsburgs extraordinary life and 27 year legacy on the bench, a femininist icon and the leader of the Supreme Courts liberal wing, her passing has the potential to dramatically transform our countrys future over the next 44 days, leading up to the 2020 election. Ohio congressman jim jordan is the ranking republican on the House Judiciary Committee he joins me now, congressman good morning to you and it is great to see you this morning. You too maria good to be with you. Maria your reflection on Ruth Bader Ginsburgs passing, and where we are today. Well, i think the president said it best this was an amazing individual who led an amazing life. You think about tops in her class in law school, first woman to make law review and then professor and of course then nominated and confirmed to the highest court in the land. Its truly an american story where you have someone who had these lofty goals, worked hard made them all happen, accomplished things of meaning and significance and lasting value and of course raised a family while all thats going on , so just an amazing individual i think as i said the president summed it up with those words last night. Maria well, you know that the president s critics and skeptics are insane over the president s potentially naming another Supreme Court justice. I want to be respect respectful here but also take note of the fact it is 44 days away from a president ial election and Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer and the president have tweeted the president said that it is an obligation for him to name a replacement and to have a vote, Mitch Mcconnell, saying the same thing, and schumer said the American People should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice , therefore this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president , your reaction to what weve heard . No they are criticizing the president for following the law and following the constitution. The president s job is to nominate someone for the Supreme Court and its the senates job to advice and go through the process and now whats happened historically hes not only following the law but the historic norm nine out of ten times when the party in the white house is the same party thats controlling the senate, nine out of 10 times during an Election Year you put someone forward they get confirmed but only once out of eight times has someone when theres a difference in who has the white house and who has control of the senate, only one in eight times when someones been brought forward in an Election Year, so this is following the law, following the constitution, and frankly, following the historic norms of our country, so, i hope we move forward, and i hope we put someone in there who is going to respect the constitution, follow the constitution, understand the First Amendment and Second Amendment are critically important. Thats the kind of justice we need. Maria two
