Giuliani on Nuke Deal: It’s ‘Like Making an Agreement with Hitler’
BARTIROMO: "Which candidate for the 2016 election has the best foreign policy?"
MITCHELL: "Well, I'm a Democrat. (Laughter) I'm a Democrat and I support Secretary Clinton, so I think she has the best policies."
BARTIROMO: "What about Bernie Sanders?"
MITCHELL: "I think that Secretary Clinton has the best policy."
GIULIANI: "I think she was a disaster as secretary of state."
BARTIROMO: "Secretary of state?"
GIULIANI: "Every single situation she took over in the world got worse by the time she left and I can't think of a single situation that she helped with. The first thing she did was reset the relationship with Russia."
BARTIROMO: "Right the reset.”
GIULIANI: "Which was absurd and gave up the nuclear defense in Czech republic and Poland which she never should have. Here is what I don't understand about the Obama administration, they give things up and get nothing in return. we give up the nuclear defense of the Czech republic and Poland. We reset the relationship with Russia and now we've made Putin the world power that he wasn't before. We give things away without getting back in return. We open up relationships with Cuba. What did we get for it? We didn't even get shezmalt who murdered a state trooper. We have political prisoners there, this is an administration that doesn't negotiate, selling your house and don't get paid for it.”
BARTIROMO: "This is what a big portion of what people believe.”
MITCHELL: "Was the policy with Cuba working for 50 years.”
BARTIROMO: "Is it working for America?”
MITCHELL: "Of course, it will work for america. it's the best thing to do because it makes sense after 50 years of a policy that failed, you're saying you want to continue that? so my view is, he asked what did Secretary Clinton do? She was the architect, the beginning of the program that led to the Iranian nuclear agreement. you may not think that's a good deal, but the fact is that Iran now is not in the position to have a nuclear weapon, will not be, and in my judgment will never have a nuclear weapon and if they do--"
BARTIROMO: "Why not? how do you--"
MITCHELL: "Let me."
GIULIANI: "The agreement to have a nuclear weapon for 15 years and allows them to have nuclear weapons after 15 years and what you said before, senator, is the reason why it was a bad deal. now, all of these countries have taken their sanctions away and we can't put them back, which means we have to depend on Iran keeping its word. which it will not. it's proven, it lies. they lie consistently. they're shooting missiles off as they're trying to implement this agreement, it's almost absurd to think that they're not going to cheat and meanwhile, murdering people in Iran in large, large numbers."
MITCHELL: "First off, the agreement provides that Iran will not nuclear weapon, saying the agreement pro a nuclear--
and this is not a case of our trusting them. If they do cheat, the united states is in a very strong position to marshal an international force led by the united states, including military action, if necessary, to prevent them from getting a weapon. that would not have been the case had the agreement been rejected and we could not have gone back to the international sanctions that existed before because China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany made absolutely clear, they would not consent to continuing sanctions if the united states rejected the treaty. they have part of the treaty. it's a positive step for the united states, it's a positive step for Israel, and reduces the likelihood of Iran having a nuclear weapon and thereby reduces.”
BARTIROMO: "Aren't they still producing uranium? in iran.
MITCHELL: "Yes".
BARTIROMO: "Why wouldn't that lead ultimately to another nuclear weapon?”
MITCHELL: "We reduced their enriched uranium total capacity, the amount that they hold by 98%. they're enriching it, but not to a level that is capable of producing nuclear weapons. they are entitled to enrich uranium for peaceful and other purposes as a signatory to the nuclear nonproliferation regime. they are not enriching to the level needed to produce nuclear weapons."
GIULIANI: "Why would Iran need the peaceful use of nuclear power? it's an energy rich country, that's always been an absurdity. it's absurd that secretary Clinton and secretary Kerry and Barack Obama even entertain the thought of that. they said that to me, I’d laugh at them and say, what are you kidding? the peaceful use of nuclear power for Iran, an energy rich country?"
MITCHELL: "The united states-- this is a subterfuge to their becoming a nuclear power. if we don't recognize who and what the ayatollah is, president writing letters to him begging him for this agreement. "
GIULIANI: "This man is a mass murderer, it's like making an agreement with Hitler."
BARTIROMO: "Is there a difference between ayatollah and others try.
MITCHELL: “First on nuclear power, the United States is the largest producer of oil and natural gas now, aggregate in the world, we have a nuclear power industry. So, his argument simply makes no sense, many, many countries look to diversify their energy, their energy sources, including nuclear power. secondly, this is not a case of trusting Iran. They have the most intrusive inspection regime of any country in history and if they cheat, it will be discovered and we will take action to prevent them from getting weapons.”
