She praised President Trump for continuing to put pressure on Iran to come to the negotiating table and spoke about the Michigan Senate Democratic primary election results, where Abdul El-Sayed, a radical socialist, won his election. On President Trump’s continued pressure campaign to secure a deal with Iran: “President Trump is the ultimate dealmaker. You can see what has happened through the coming weeks, the strength that he has projected. Look, Iran knows when President Trump speaks, he means it … He has said we have to have complete nuclear disarmament. He wants to make sure that they don’t have the missile capabilities that we now see that they did have. And I’m so grateful to President Trump for diminishing that … President Trump is doing what someone should have done 47 years ago. He has said, when you say ‘Death to America,’ I am going to believe you, and I’m going to hold you accountable and make sure that my citizens are safe. I think that he has got them in a position where they are looking for a pathway forward now, and I am grateful for his leadership on this.” On Democratic Socialist Abdul El-Sayed: “Look, Bill, this is a sad day for America. I mean, the fact that this man could win an election is absolutely unbelievable. We know that this Democratic Socialists of America movement has shown us that they do nothing but hate America. We saw them, actually, on your very network, talking about all of the things they wanted to see: no ICE … no police. They essentially wanted to do away with the government, no jails … “[W]hen it comes to Iran … he is actually a jihadist sympathizer. We saw him just two days ago, El-Sayed, at a pool party with Hasan Piker, who said that America deserved 9/11. These are not people who stand with us and for our values, and they’re infiltrating from within. We have to make sure to stand firmly and say, we love this country.” On last night’s election results: “That tells me that the Democratic Socialists have taken over the Democratic Party, and we have to stand up to it and stand firmly. The future of our country is at stake.” You can watch the full interview here. ### | 1 | 2026-08-06T07:37:31Z | 2026-08-06T07:38:34Z |
