BRIAN: YOU JUST HER FROM JOHN

ROBERT AS THE UNITED NATIONS.

YOU'VE BEEN SEEING REPORTING

THROUGH WASHINGTON.

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE TOMORROW AT

4:00 WILL MEET WITH OTHER

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN AND WOMEN

TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO ABOUT

POSSIBLY IMPEACHING THE

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

JOINING SITTING CONGRESSWOMAN

WHO WANTS TO BE THE DEMOCRATIC

NOMINEE AND EVENTUALLY THE

PRESIDENT, CONGRESSWOMAN TULSI

GABBARD OF HAWAII.

GREAT TO SEE YOU.

FIRST OFF YOU CAN'T BE THERE AT

4:00 TOMORROW.

>> ACTUALLY I WILL BE THERE

TOMORROW.

BRIAN: YOU WILL BE THERE.

WILL YOU TO TO THE MEETING?

>> YEAH.

BRIAN: WHERE DO YOU STAND RIGHT

NOW IN TERMS OF IMPEACHMENT OR

INQUIRY?

>> I'VE BEEN CONSISTENT SAYING I

BELIEVE IMPEACHMENT IN THIS

JUNCTURE WOULD BE TERRIBLY

DIVISIVE FOR THE COUNTRY AT A

TIME WHERE WE'RE ALREADY

EXTREMELY DIVIDED.

THE HYPERPARTISANSHIP IS ONE OF

THE MAIN THINGS DRIVING OUR

COUNTRY APART.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO

DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP.

THAT IS WHY I'M RUNNING FOR

PRESIDENT.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE TO BE HEARD.

BRIAN: PEOPLE VOTING FOR YOU

YOUR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

EXPERIENCE, THE TIMES YOU

SERVED.

YOU'VE BEEN VERY CRITICAL OF

SAUDI ARABIA AND OUR ALLIANCE

WITH THEM.

YESTERDAY, BRITAIN, FRANCE,

GERMANY, JOINED THE U.S. BLAMING

IRAN FOR THE ATTACKS ON

SAUDI ARABIA.

DO YOU BELIEVE SINCE

SAUDI ARABIA HAS BEEN A LONG

TIME ALLY, THAT AMERICA HAS A

ROLE IN SOMEHOW MAKING THEM PAY

FOR THAT TYPE OF HEINOUS ACT?

>> NO.

I THINK WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND

CLEARLY THE SITUATION THAT

EXISTS.

FIRST OF ALL THE UNITED STATES

HAS NO TREATY ALLIANCE OR

SECURITY AGREEMENT WITH

SAUDI ARABIA.

SO THE UNITED STATES RESPONDING

ON BEHALF OF SAUDI ARABIA WOULD

BE REALLY UNPRECEDENTED.

SECOND WE'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND

THAT IRAN IS RETALIATING.

THIS SITUATION JUST DIDN'T COME

OUT OF NOWHERE.

THESE CRIPPLING SANCTIONS HAVE

REALLY CRIPPLED IRAN'S ECONOMY

AND SO THIS RESPONSE IS BECAUSE

THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO SELL THEIR

OIL ON THE MARKET.

THE DANGER OF CONTINUING THIS

TIT-FOR-TAT, THIS CYCLE OF

MUTUAL RETALIATION, WHERE DOES

IT END?

IT ENDS IN ALL-OUT INFERNO

ACROSS IRAN AND MIDDLE EAST,

COSTING US AMERICAN LIVES,

COSTING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS

DOLLARS.

BRIAN: RIGHT.

>> INCREASING THE REFUGEE CRISIS

IN THE REGION.

THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT

SERVES OUR INTERESTS OR ANYONE

ELSE'S.

BRIAN: I THINK YOU WOULD AGREE

BETWEEN HEZBOLLAH, HAMAS,

FINANCING OF THAT THEY CREATE

MORE UNREST OF ANY OTHER PLAYER.

>> I MAKE NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT

IRAN DOES.

OUR INTERESTS NEED TO BE WHAT IS

BEST INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE AND OUR NATIONAL

SECURITY.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT WE KEEP

THAT AT THE FOREFRONT.

BRIAN: YOU'VE BEEN UPSET A

LITTLE BIT THE DNC GOING FAST

AND LOOSE WITH THE DEBATE RULES

AS YOU RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE

UNITED STATES.

YOU JUST COME OUT AS OF

YESTERDAY, NEW RULES AND

CRITERIA TO QUALIFY FOR THE NEXT

ROUND OF DEBASEMENTS HERE WE GO.

YOU NEED DONATIONS FROM 165,000

SEPARATE DONORS.

600 UNIQUE DONORS IN 20 STATES.

YOU'RE LOOKING WITH ME FOR THE

FIRST TIME, RIGHT.

>> CAME OUT LAST NIGHT.

BRIAN: 3% OF AT LEAST 4 APPROVED

NATIONAL OR EARLY STATE POLLS OR

NEW HAMPSHIRE, SOUTH CAROLINA,

IOWA OR NEVADA.

HAVE YOU HIT THIS CRITERIA OR

ARE YOU CLOSE?

>> WE HAVE FAR SURPASSED THE

GRASSROOTS DONOR REQUIREMENT

WEEKS AGO, EITHER PREVIOUS

REQUIREMENT AS WELL AS THE NEW

ONE THAT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED.

IT IS POLLING REQUIREMENTS THAT

HAVE REALLY BEEN KIND OF

ARBITRARY WHICH POLLS THEY, THE

DNC RECOGNIZES AS CREDIBLE,

WHICH ONES THEY DON'T.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM.

NOT JUST FOR ME AND MY CAMPAIGN

BUT REALLY THE PROBLEM IS FOR

VOTERS WHO ARE SEEING A LACK OF

TRANSPARENCY, LACK TRUST IN THE

PROCESS AND ARE QUESTIONING IS

THIS REALLY WORKING FOR US OR IS

THE DNC JUST TRYING TO BE THESE

GATEKEEPERS IN WASHINGTON

DICTATING TO VOTERS IN THE EARLY

STATES ESPECIALLY LIKE IOWA AND

NEW HAMPSHIRE WHO THEY ARE

ALLOWED TO CHOOSE FROM TO BE OUR

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

BRIAN: I KNOW ONE THING IS

PRETTY CERTAIN, YOU'RE ONE

CANDIDATE WHO WILL NOT BE

INTIMIDATED.

YOU MADE THAT CLEAR.

>> NOT AS A CANDIDATE, NOT AS

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
