Impeachment, im beginning to amid trade tensions but will the think in retrospect that it was recent truce with china and the deal on the usmca tamp down probably inevitable. We were going to get impeachment one way or another from the lingering trade uncertainty as we head into 2020. Democrats who are really intent were back with dan henninger, on it and even after the mueller kim strassel, bill mcgern and report failed, they were going to look for something else. Mary ogrady. What do you think . A great year for the financial well, that was really the key. When the Mueller Report came markets, Big Stock Market gains, over, i think some of us out despite concerns about lower there we waited more than two growth and a recession. Years and we thought okay, now are we all clear on the we have an a answer, its time recession now, kind of coming out of it . To put this behind us. Are we worryfree for 2020. But no, the minute it came out, they doubled down. They drilled in on the no, i think that would be obstruction piece of his report mistake. The longer we stay with no even though the justice recession and were in Historic Department said this was not period something that could go forward. Paul over 10 years. And it was pretty clear at that yeah. The higher the risks go. Moment that this was going to but i would say that were in a happen one way or another and it pretty much of a sweet spot was a question of their finding right now. We have a president who believes the right issue to hang it on. In low taxes and we have a paul anybody disagree with that, they were going to impeach him for jay walking if they had Senate Control by republicans so thats helpful and the results are coming in. To. They were calling for i mean, the investment levels, impeachment barely after he was taking the oath of office. Wages are rising, people are i think this is right. Coming off the sidelines to work mrs. Pelosi tried to resist it and thats a big sign about but the point is, this is what the bulk of her party wanted. Confidence in the economy. When you look at those polls a lot of Consumer Confidence in paul thats my point. The economy. So i would say, you know, you break it down, its Something Like 90 they were looking out, its rather agreed on that. Positive view. The other thing is that if mrs. Pelosi was the outlier in those polls. Paul go ahead. Donald trump ends up giving us the other thing about the Mueller Report thats amazing is how he basically decided to cutting us a break on china, on china trade by coming up with ignore the steele report and the some kind of agreement, that will be another plus for the importance of Christopher Steeles report, a former economy. Paul let me ask you about that. British spy who was basically the deal on china, not totally hired to try to find dirt on the details arent all known donald trump. Paul by the democrats. Yeah. And you know, mueller just yet but it looks like its going to go through, the usmca is didnt go into that and i think going to pass, the president has theres something we learned taken european auto tariffs off more about not just about the table apparently. Mueller but if you look at all are we going to get here some of this, you see that the trump quiet on trade, claiming washington establishment was happy to cover up for each victory but doing nothing else other, all in the interest of between now and the election . Basically damaging donald trump. You know what this signals to lets talk about the washington establishment. Me is somewhere the faction in i mean, you know, people talk the white house that has been all the time about how run testify our disruptive our lobbying a long time the president to understand the importance of trade and how much politics is, how tense it is, it could hurt his prospects for reelection, they seem to have its polarizing. Donald trump did not create the caught his ear at least for a russian collusion narrative, right . While. So his desire to go do this paul right. He talks about witch hunts. Hes got a point. China deal, which just a phase if you extracted this stuff what one, not the whole thing, thats you would have i think is a more a change. The fact that hes been quiet on or less normal presidency. Trump would never be a normal it, it all suggested he understands the need to reassure president but we would be arrestinarguing about normal the business investment. Those have been the more immigration and other trull p worrisome numbers that have been policies. Trump policies. Coming through economic reports. Paul yeah, the heroes here instead we spend the year on have been the consumer and the american worker, americans going this zero sum collusion back to work, wage gains are narrative which is very disruptive. Paul do you put any blame, a higher for lower income americans now than they are for little bit, on trump for not upper income americans and thats fed through to consumer repute dating putin as much as he could. He could have made that spending. Compensating for the recession in manufacturing and the lower clearer, for sure. Investment. It was a troubling aspect of the yeah, it really has. And i think one of the things to look for as we get into the election campaign. Political season, election gets they imposed more sanctions on the russian than any previous going, people get nominated, is administration so its been a we talked about this a little wash from that perspective. It wouldnt have made a earlier, the democrats economic difference. How do we know . Policies currently, if we get i mean that seriously. Into the summer and whether its how do we know . They got the Mueller Report. Joe biden, Amy Klobuchar, gods you look at what paul they are still accusing knows Elizabeth Warren, if it looks at all as if the campaign him of collusion. Is competitive and youve got a when bob mueller came in, there was enough evidence that this was going nowhere, yet they Democratic Party campaigning on higher taxes, repealing some of continued the investigation. The whole thing from the the trump tax cuts, certainly beginning is finding out that rolling back the deregulation, i the steele stuff was not credible and they went with it think youre going to see a lot anyway. Lets not for get the of downward pressure, at least in the stock market because the inspector generals report which came out more recently. Trump policies love or hate that had evidence of the fbi donald trump, those economic policies are clearly responsible hiding exculpatory evidence. That is really a scandal. With whats happened the last its terrifying for i think two years. If you roll them back, theres american citizens. I mean, those of us who believe going to be problems. Paul one of the lessons r, if in civil liberties, which should you focus on growth, you do be the bulk of washington better by income inwall at this, than inequality, than if you paul everybody. Yeah. You hohow come theres sort of . Focus on policies and then you dont do as well on growth. Part of that is because of the absolutely. I think this is the part republicans need to remember, when we debate tax rates because most of the press has been i think for a lot of ordinary spinning it, which is trump in a americans they think growth is something for hedge fund guys. Problem. Paul the a abuses of the fbi they dont realize its their were r worse than anything we 401k. Learned about donald trump and they dont realize its better russia. Because its compounded than absolutely. The ig report has been even if the government gave you absolutely devastating to the fbi and we already had reports money. So i think we have to make the come out, i mean, people forget, growth argument all the time and also its a good argument to short memories, but weve had make in this because theres three reports about jim comey, nothing on the democratic side the former fbi director and his tenure. The first one, which dealt with thats specifically trying to get growth. They sort of like the old the Hillary Clinton probe, joke, how do the two economists accused him of being get out of a hole. One sales assume a ladder. Insubordinate to superiors. We had one about the leak of his paul if we looked back 12 memo to the press about the years ago to 2007 and 8, the conversation was the president which pointed out was dangerous, economy was still growing reckless behavior and we have an ig report about the fbi playing happen in are we missing fast and loose with the fisa anything at all a for trouble in court. This really does call into many 2020 . I think dans right, that if americans minds r whether or wt it looks like the democrats have an edge and they might actually they can trust the fbi at all. Win, i think the markets are theres been institutional going to be scared. Damage, all because they were because every single one of going after trump. Those candidates on the stage is but its the fbi who comes out talking about higher tax as a looking very poor here. Paul and the two years spent way to fix deficit spending and that is not good for growth. Pursuing the collusion narrative and asserting it notwithstanding paul kim, how about you . A lack of evidence i think really has hurt the attempt to are we missing something in terms of the financial trouble now impeach on ukraine because a around the horizon that you can lot of the public says wait a see, yo housing or some sectionf minute, we heard all this before and we cant trust these people because theyre pushing they the financial industry . Pushed falsehoods on us before. I think to marys point about i think democrats have done some damage to themselves. They could be running against in the stock market being spooked, like you said the engine here the Election Year trumps has been consumers. Personality and his policies. Voters get spooked, do they pull that would be legitimate. Back out of fear of what might they elevated it to this be manable to come. Socalled constitutional crisis which i think is really a bridge thats another thing that could happen as well, based on the too far for a lot of voters who may default to saying it was an democratic nominee. Paul briefly. If the fed has to raise indefenseable impeachment rates because we see inflation project. Paul thank you all. The impeachment proceedings now that could be troubling. Set to bleed into the new year, paul when we come back, hits just as the 2020 Campaign Heats and misses of the year. Up. Will it help or hurt president sfx [sneezing] trumps reelection chances .

The do nothing democrats, and they are do nothing, all they want to do is focus on paul time now for our hits and this, what they could did doing misses of the year. Are he declaring their dane well start with misses. Kim . So, paul, we you now know thanks to the ig horowitz for the American Voter report, we know the minute bob disdane for the American Voter. The impeachment is a political mueller was named special counsel in may of 2019, he was suicide march for the democrat party. Handed an fbi file that showed have you seen my polls in the last four weeks . Him that the infamous steele [ cheering and applause ] paul that was President Trump dossier had been paid for by the last week at a rally in the Rifle Campaign and that the fbi crucial swing state of michigan, claiming that the democratic had already discovered that dose impeachment push is actually helping him in the polls. Dossier was bunk. That would have been the moment i spoke with wall street journal to say time out. My miss goes to mr. Mueller. Columnist and fox news he didnt do had that. Contributor karl rove earlier about the impact of impeachment instead for two years he continued to look into this, on the 2020 race. Closed his eyes to fbi welcome, karl rove. Good to see you again. Misbehavior and let the bomb lets talk about the political fires rage on, the nation is impact of impeachment. A lot of republicans seem to worse for it. Paul all right. Think that this is going to work bill . Paul, my miss is to my birth better for them than for the iste of california where the democrats. What do you sunshine. I think it will. But not the way that we might bringing back ancient diseases think. I think both bases will be like the plague. Paul b buboni plague. Energized by impeachment. Theres a slim chance that democrats will say you tried to do it but when the senate votes not to remove him, there might its highlighting the be a little bit of air out of the cushion but i think its failure on housing policy, going to energize both bases. Public order, getting people the the key is what does it do to medical care they need. The independents, the small a big miss to the entire group of swing voters, Political Class of the state of california. Paul all right. Other parts of the country too moderates, independent, people up for grabs in the election, were noticing, new york not quite as bad. Maybe eight, 10, 12 of the lek its colder here. Mary. Big miss for nancy pelosi, electorate. House speaker, for going ahead the polls indicated the longer with the impeachment process. The impeachment process has gone donald trump is unlikely to be on, the less excited they are removed from office and i think about it and the more they turn she knew had that but she thought she could damage the against impeachment. President and theres no a senate trial i suspect will evidence that has happened. Turn them more against it. At the end of the day, small but unfortunately, shes now lowered the bar for using this plus for republicans, but not because what it does for republicans, because thats tool as a political weapon countered by what happens among against enemies and i think thats going to be longterm democrats, its what happens with that small group of damage for the country. Paul do you think she hurt the democrats in the process or undecided upforgrab voters. Protected her moderate members. Paul lets take stock of the i think its going to cost the democrats. Paul you think the 2020 democratic president ial race. Election. One of the bigger stories of the yes. Year to me in the primaries is paul dan. Weve done robert mueller, weve done nancy pelosi. The staying power of joe biden. I dont think viewers would be had a lot of early stumbles, here he is at the end of the happy until we give a miss of year and hes still ticking, the year to adam schiff. Still in the lead nationally and he was here to foreanonymous hes not going away. No, i think youre absolutely right. Congressman from california. In fact, what he was being he made a name for himself god written off early on, i wrote a knows this year. I think in adam schiffs case column, saying dont write him its been almost only for the out, the guys got some worse. When he was in the minority in durability. Of course, i agree with you the House Intelligence Committee because its been my opinion for a while. Look, why is that that the case . He pursued the russian collusion well, i think its for a couple reasons. Narrative against congressman one is, i think a key is is that devin nunes, also of call nobodys been able to important ycalifornia. Once he g, consolidate that 40 to 45 of he pushed the russian collusion the democratic electorate thats narrative, the obstruction of on the hard left because its justice narrative and now the being split between warren and impeachment project. I would say his credibility with sanders and as a result, biden the American People is pretty much shot and hell be can be sitting there in the high 20s, low 30s. Remembered as having been a theyre sitting in the 20s or completely destructive Political Force in our era. High teens and they look weaker paul not by democrats who l compared to him. Hail him as a hero, dan. The second thing is, look, this they think hes done a great job. He has brought down the field has not been all that Good American political system. And its been hard to get a hes done a lot of damage to the breakout because theres been so many of them. Credibility of the system, theres been no dominant whether democrats at this point want to admit it or not. Personalities like the republicans developed in 2016 paul my miss of the year goes to the president of the united with donald trump. States and that is for losing so instead, weve had the mayor much really good talent, im pete moment, the Kamala Harris moment. Thinking jim mattis, he left were now having an amy after the syria withdrawal klobuchar moment. Its going to be a complicated mistakes, the president later took back, john bolton who left picture because in the democratic rules and the structure of the democratic as National Security advisor primary, theyre proportional. Just before the ukraine 15 and you get delegates and theyre front loading it between misadventure and can coats, the the beginning of iowa and Super National dan coats, the tuesday on march 3rd. National intelligence director, basically four andahalf weeks, he left. The president tweeted he wasnt 48 of the delegates will be happy with him. I think the president , he misses chosen and by the end of march, those advisers that could save 69 of the delegates will be him from mistakes if he were willing to keep some of those chosen and theyre going to be at least in the first you men and women on. Know, between iowa and super all right. We have to take one more break. Tuesday, theres going to be when we come back, our panels five people who will be capable picks for the hits of the year. Of getting 15 or more in any chime one of those states. Paul that means if we dont at the end of march have a real clear frontrunner, this thing is going the distance to the convention or has a high probability of doing that in. I think so. I wrote it in a column in the wall street journal. Paul. Paul i real every word. shaq magenta . I know. You take a pen to a couple of i hate cartridges not magenta not magenta. Them but thats your job. Im not going back to the store. [ laughter ] magenta but, no, i think look, i cartridges are so. Dont want to say its an buzzer absolute lock that we go to the vo the Epson Ecotank. Convention without somebody with no more cartridges. It comes with an incredible amount of ink 50 . But weve got the highest that can save you a lot of frustration. Probability since 1952, mainly because of the rules and because theres a large field and a number of them are capable of the Epson Ecotank. Just fill and chill. Getting 15 or more. Available at. Paul the other story ive seen across the year is what i would call the rise and fall of Elizabeth Warren. She had some early stumbles but then she had that moment where it looked like she was going to lead in iowa, the left was the sort of liberals rallying rg behind her and now after the attacks on medicare for all, it looks to me like shes now in something of a eclipse while Bernie Sanders keeps ticking with the 20 , very solid. Warren may be eclipsed, what do you may have gingivitis. When you brush, and the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, you sunshine. Youthink . Receding gums, and possibly. It turns out many of tooth loss. Help turn back the clock plans and with medicare for all on gingivitis he she got creamed. With parodontax. Leave bleeding gums behind. I dont want to count her out parodontax. Just heeem to i am totally blind. Agree on one thing. And non24 can make me show up too early. Or too late. She has had the biggest and or make me feel like im not really there. Best, wellorganized ground game in iowa. That doesnt win you 10 points talk to your doctor, or 5 points but it may win you 2 and call 8442342424. Or 3 points. If thats the case, then and weve got everybody bunched up, she could come in a surprise, maybe not the winner, but could come in a second place or third place surprise in iowa. And again, shes got resources. Thats one of the things that this new world that we live in of Internet Fund raising, of people being able to take out their credit card, go online and send you 15 every month, its made it possible for people to have money to continue to prosecute, if you will, these first five weeks of delegates that represent almost half the total of the democratic convention. Paul all right, well be watching this race very closely and well talk to you again soon. Thanks. Happy new year. Paul when we come back, with six debates down and just five weeks to go until the first votes are cast, our panels take on the state of te is best posio on the state of te is best posio take on President Trump. To the outside world, you look good, but you dont feel good. With polycythemia vera, pv, symptoms can change so slowly over time you might not notice. But new or changing symptoms can mean your pv is changing. Lets change the way we see pv. You track and discuss blood counts with your doctor. Time now for our hits of the but its just as vital to discuss year. Kim starts off. Changing symptoms as well. Take notice and take action. You know a year when discuss counts and symptoms with your doctor. Premuch nothing at all good came from washington, there is visit takeactionpv. Com one exception, semi hit goes to the washington national. And not just her becoming the but he wanted snow for thelace witholidays. Tor. First team and 95 years to win so we built a snow globe. The pennant, it was a must watch tv. Ill get that later. They almost died in the wildcard game, came back, just dylan but the one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with homeowners insurance. About got into the division what . Series, almost lost in the switching and saving was really easy world series. But along the way introduce us i love you what . Sweetie hands off the glass. To the baby shark, and a lot of fun sunglasses. Ugh for those of us stuck covering call geico and see how easy saving on homeowners impeachment of Mueller Reports. It was a big ray of washington and condo insurance can be. I love her sunshine. Youre still home or in heart, kim. Rra paul. I am cheering for notre dame. Notre dame in paris was a devastating fire, demoralized everyone. It is still out of commission right now, since the First Time Since the french revolution. But even the nation as secular as france that everyone rallies around the cathedral and its going to be rebuilt and all of its glory. So big hit to the french nation. Im glad you picked because seed the drill instead of the male anchor . An update on the cat who captured our hearts. Notre dame program. Female anchor how often should you clean your fridge . Stay tuned to find out. Thats much harder. Male anchor beats the odds at the box office i hit for Boris Johnson the to become a rare nonfranchise hit. Conservative leader who won a resounding victory at the you can give help and hope to those in need. Polls this month against the labour party. A lot of people are congratulating exit. And its true the british people are fed up with the Big Government rule out of the European Union union. But he think its also true that this was a big defeat for labor, and particularly jamie corbin who had very radical here, it all starts withello hi . Far left ideas. How can i help . I think it is also a message a data plan for everyone. Everyone . To some other socalled everyone. Progressives in the world that they better watch out. Lets send to everyone wifi up there . Uhh. Zero here maybe in the sure, why not . United states . Bernie sanders . Paul, my head is going to howd he get out . a camera might figure it out. Go back to the new job that was easy creations in the United States. Glad i could help. Back before the 2016 election, at xfinity, were here to make life simple. Easy. Awesome. So come ask, shop, discover at your local xfinity store today. The Congressional Budget Office predicted that by now the economy would have predicted created 2 million new jobs. Since the trump tax cuts and deregulation of 2017, the economy has created 7 million new jobs. In most of those with people at the lowest and poorest end of the economic spectrum. People wonder all the time what is become the purpose of politics in our time. While in my book, if you cannot, you would have to get out of public life if you cannot admit that giving people jobs, selfrespect, and the memes to start families is not worth doing. Are people still sign the tax cuts and the read deregulation are a failure, dan. I think for all the toll paul with just over a month to mulch around us right now, we go until the first votes are should be grateful for the cast in the 2020 race, the amount of jobs that a been democratic field is far from created. My hit of the year goes to settled with former Vice President joe biden maintaining the hong kong protesters that a single digit lead in the stood up against the chinese attempt to take away their National Polling average while political autonomy. Pete but buttothers challenge h. At that was promised through them you hear a lot about authoritarianism and the march around the world, people care about political freedom. While the hong kong demonstrators show us that is there room for a dark horse they really do care. So lets hope they keep it up, candidate to capture the nomination. Were back with dan henninger, and some americans start saying, speaking up on their kim strassel, bill mcgern and behalf as well. Alright thank you all, and remember if you have your own mary ogrady. Hit or miss for 2019 be sure what do you think is the most important thing we learned this to tweet it to us at jr on last year about the race . The most surprising thing was at the beginning. Fnc. Thats it for the show, thanks i thought Kamala Harris would do a lot better, big state, african for my panel thanks all for american, checked a lot of boxes listening, happy new year end hope to see you all here back for the Democratic Party and she next week. Bellyflopped. For a party that made identity weekend, marias wall street was coming up next. Politics and diversity the number one concern, at the top theyve got three old white people and two old white men and from the fox cities in new number three is the old white york city heres marias wall woman and then a young white woman in the top four. Street. Paul what does that tell you . Happy weekend everybody in my christmas everyone and i dont know what it tells analyzes the week that wasnt me. I think what it tells me, helps positioning for the week ahead. I am maria and coming up just with biden in particular, they really want to beat trump. A moment in my exclusive thats why joe biden has had interview with the ceo of verizon, hans vess berg is Kamala Harris had her moment and wasnt up to the job. Here on the power of 5g technology. Paul dan . Right take a look back at the i guess i would say its the key interviews with the best on wall street in 2019 is a extent to which the left representative of the year. Progressiveism became the benchmark in the Democratic Party after the 2016 election. Bernie sanders had a lot to do with that. But it became on policies like the environment, on identity, on taxes, attacking the wealthy, this was kind of paul free college, medicare for all, taxes through the roof. It was a challenge, it became for moderates, joe biden, Amy Klobuchar, tim ryan, the question was how far could you vary from the left wing agenda and still get the support of the party or the media. Now, joe biden and Amy Klobuchar have moved more clearly towards the center but the left is kind of the controlling force inside the party. Paul have we seen the peak leftism in the Democratic Party . Because warren had that now shes down. Bernie stays at 20 but doesnt move up. I wonder with biden and bloomberg getting in and maybe klobuchar rising in iowa, perhaps the lefts moment is over. Im not sure where bloomberg is going to go here. Whats surprising to me is, okay, all the democrats like Big Government. We know that. Not one of them has tried to talk about the importance of Economic Growth and the economy. Paul dont you think delaney did . A little bit. But he was very big on the Capital Gains tax. Paul raising it. Raising taxes. They dont understand the idea of dynamic scoring, they dont understand marginal tax rates or if they do, they dont want anything to do with it. Whenever they talk about what theyre going to do, its Big Government and how youre going to pay for it, taxes. Thats the only ive been watching all these debates. Its been painful. Ive been watching them and im listening for just somebody who can make a little bit of a case for, you know, 2. 5 growth. You dont hear that. Paul do you think bidens staying power is a significant story here and how do you explain it . I was going to say thats been my biggest surprise. Weve seen joe biden run for the presidency before and hes a terrible candidate and hes not improved. Paul he was the two previous times. And hes not better this time. He stumbles. Hes a gaffe machine. Hes got all kinds of issues and he keeps changing where hes going to go on policies and yet none of it matters. Hes sort of teflon. I think that gets to your point about whats really motivating democrats is a desire to win trump and this has been joe bidens campaign theme. Im known to you. Im known nationally. Ive got name recognition. Im a tough guy and im a return to normalcy you want and i think that has just continued to appeal to enough democrats, theyve been willing to overlook all of the rest of his many, many flaws. Paul i think that return to normalcy and klobuchar talks about a return to sanity, i think that is the theme that is i think going to end up beating the radical restructuring that bernie and warren want. Well see. I think, look, two things that could happen to center on a candidate. Biden collapses, then he has a lot of support, where does it go, the African American support or if Elizabeth Warren drops out, because you could consolidate the progressive votes. Paul a lot of warren support has been going to pete bouige. Its the attitude towards the private sector. Billionaires shouldnt exist, they decry i shouldnt say poor tom steyer. Desperately trying to buy the election, not getting above 1 point. With pete boutigieg having to answer these question about have you worked in the private sector, its insane. Paul what do you think about Donald Trumps chances . Is well positioned to win reelection. The only person that can beat donald trump is donald trump. It will depend how he goes with his campaign. There are a lot of people who dont like donald trump because of persona. If he runs on the economy, i dont see how they can beat him. Hes got a very good record. Why does he keep saying at these rallies, you may not like me personally but if you want to protect your 401k thats grown so much, youve got to elect me. Very good point. I mean, they are not going to be able to duck from the the democrats wont be able to duck from the economy of the past two years because hes going to put it in their face. Paul yet the president only has an Approval Rating of 45. I think he needs to get up to 48 to win the electoral college. The Approval Rating tends to coincide with the share of the two party vote whavment do you think . I think it needs to go up higher. He needs a second term agenda. Thats one thing thats been notably absent so far. Well see what he comes up with. Paul all right. Thank you all. Still ahead, a tul year in foren policy.

Paul a President Trump faces continuing challenges around the world including the middle east where he is eager to make good on his 2016 Campaign Promise to, quote, end endless wars and bring home american troops. So where do we stand at the decades end and what challenges await in 2020. Retired general jack keen is a fox news senior strategic analyst. Great to see you here at yearend. What do you think the major what were the major Foreign Policy stories in your view of 2019 . Well, in 2019 as you mentioned, its the stories that took place, but in my mind its the middle east. Its the iranian aggression in the middle east to seek dominance and the Trump Administration pushed back on that with the maximum Pressure Campaign which has had Significant Impact on iranians. But to date it has not deterred them, one, from their aggression, or two, to bring them to the negotiating table. The other thing is certainly whats taken place in syria in the middle east. The administration in 2019 gave them the credit for taking down the caliphate, for taking the territory away from isis that they controlled in iraq, and in syria. However, they never truly appreciated the fact that 10 to 15,000 sigh sis fighters re isis fighters remain and theyre a significant danger, not only to the middle east but potentially to other countries and their ability to inspire homegrown terrorists. And to keep a foot on the throat of those terrorists, we have to maintain a presence there and we have 70,000 syrian fighters who are willing to do it and we made two you announcements we were going to pull away from that and those caused us problems. Paul the president does seem to have stepped back again from a total withdrawal from syria. Thats the question i want there was a contradiction there. On the one hand the president says we need to contain iran, put maximum pressure on them. Yet iran is all over syria and yet he wants to pull out of syria, which would make it easier for iran to essentially enhance its position there on israels border. Yeah i mean, the president has made three you announcements about with drawing troops, two are from syria and one from afghanistan and all of those he revised. Thats a good thing. The revision in my judgment was a good thing when he got more information to make that decision. Youre right. A major strategic objective we have in syria is to contain iran and the president now has decided to do that because he doesnt want the iranians to take over 70 of the oil fields which are in the portion of Eastern Syria that the United States controls. So those are positive things. The second thing is, as we mentioned, we also have to contain isis and not permit it to regain territory. The other problem we have, though, dealing with syria, is the strategic blunder in my judgment of permitting turkey to conduct a military incursion into territory that three nato nations, the United States, the u. K. And france, were controlling with the Syrian Democratic force as i mentioned numbering 70,000. We were controlling on the ground and in the air. Yet, we permitted them to conduct a military operation there. As a result of that, the syrian p kurds got pushed back, who are ally is of ours in syria and russia has established their Third Military base in syria in that portion that we pulled back from. At a place called kasmili, theyve got an air and ground base there which likely theyre going to expand. Paul looking a t iran, i know a lot of people in the pentagon are concerned about the potential for another iranian attack, somewhere in the middle east. And as they did with saudi arabia. I mean, do you see that as a real potential danger going into 2020 . Yeah, theres no doubt about that, paul. The iranian playbook is to maintain aggression in the area to try to disrupt the oil flow as much as they possibly can, to impact the world economy, cause a recession if they could and put pressure on the United States to pull back from the max mull sanction campaign. The means to do that is certainly some kind of military action, like they did with paul saudi oil fields. And the fact we did not respond as a coalition i think was a mistake. Because i believe the iranians, in their playbook, they believe the United States is not going to respond unless the United States troops are hit. And theres a lot of damage that the iranians can do in that area without attacking directly the United States troops. Despite that, they conducted rocket assaults on bases in iraq that the United States does have troops and none of them have been hit. I think its inevitable theyll conduct another military operation. Paul as i read the President Trump after three years, it seems that he is very reluctant to use force. P im not saying that can be wise often. I dont see him eager to use force unless he really feels he has to and when you see what you seem to be saying is that iran could use that interpretation to strike this year and then the president may have to do something militarily in response. Yeah, i think that actually is the path were on and i do think there is a general reluctance not to use it, even in a very limited, measured way. When i think appropriate to do so. I think even when we responded to the Chemical Attacks in syria, when assad used them, twice with this administration, our responses to those Chemical Attacks were quite feeble in my judgment and they certainly invited the subsequent attack which we experienced. Thats the case. The administration also deserves a lot of credit for pulling out of the nuclear deal, you putting this kind of pressure on iran. Paul, ive never seen, bac themk on the heels the way they are. The amount of civil unrest in that country is staggering in terms of how it spreads across the country and theyre blaming their own he regime for it, not the United States. Paul thats going to be an interesting story to watch as well in 2020. Thank you very much, general. Appreciate it. Good talking to you, paul. Paul the u. S.
