Home youre, looking up avenue of the Americas, the former secretary of State for the United States of America, MIKE Pompeo, is joining us today and Mr Secretary youre now part of the family. Welcome aboard Ainsley welcome to the family. It is great to be with you Steve. I think we needed another Kansas voice on Fox Laughter, im thrilled to be part of the team Steve. Thank you very much, Sir good to have you Brian now, the first topic we got this late last night, the New York Times reporting, I think, first, that there was some type of sabotage at nuclear facility in IRAN that would set them back about a year as they start to weaponize their uranium. What is your take on the fact? The Israelis have not denied the fact that that theyre behind this look any nation that feels threatened, as the Israelis surely must now that this administration is looking to

head back into the terrible nuclear deal is going to defend itself. I can assure you, the countries in the region, not just the Israelis, know that the Trump Administration and the United States was with them. We were prepared to fight back against the worlds largest state sponsor soft terror in IRAN, this administration, so it doesnt surprise me that the countries are looking to take action. Ainsley. The secretary of Defense, Lloyd, Austin, is in Jerusalem in Netanyahu and has declared an ironclad commitment to Israel, yet the Biden administrations talking about possibly reviving the IRAN Nuclear Deal. What do you say? Well, those two ideas are hard to Square Ainsley im happy that he talked about an ironclad relationship with Israel, thats great news, its right for Israel, the Middle EAST and most important arely itll secure american freedom as well, but its not words its deeds

that people in that region watch when you have an appeasement campaign in Vienna, when you see them lifting terror sanctions or at least saying theyre, prepared to lift sanctions on a regime that has terrorized the region puts american lives at risk. Thats not good for our country or our friends in Israel, and it doesnt feel very ironclad when youre about to go back into a deal, many of which provisions have already expired. Steve. Mr Secretary, as soon as Joe Biden came into office, he signed a bunch of executive orders, one of them undid, so many of the things at our southern border, and it is now a disaster down there, although I think they are calling it just challenging circumstances. How does it make you feel, as somebody who worked with the last administration for years to try to get us to advance to a certain point, to see the incoming administration just undo so much of what you did you know Steve it always.

I always find it interesting when they talk about the fact that we did America alone. In fact, the deal that we struck to secure our southern border was something we worked hard with the mexican government. We worked hard with the government in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras. We had real relationships with those people we negotiated. We got to a place that made life better for their people and to watch them just come in and flip the switch and the tragedy we now see of these lives. These people, who are trying to come through Mexico to get into the United States, because President Biden Green Lighted- this is absolutely tragic and to watch them, do this in a unilateral way and make the lives worse not only for people in Texas, Arizona and California, but people all across our southern boundary, its tragic Brian, the woman who was in charge of the border, just resigned oops what a terrible job she did in Mexico. They say forget the

remain in Mexico policy were not going back to it. Can you believe how these relationships have fractured so quickly, theyre, not even there one hundred days it took a lot of work. This was or hard work building those relationships, its. What good diplomacy did what our team did. We watched these countries say fine well help you at the southern border, but weve got to get this right and you, America have to do the right things too. We did that we negotiated. We made clear we were going to close the border and when we did that we turned off the magnet the incentives for people to make that terrible trek across Mexico were gone x. Then we began to work with these countries to make sure that we handled it. Well, you cant just flip the switch you have to work alongside of them and build partnerships thats how we protect american sovereignty Ainsley. Mr Secretary, thank.
