Army special forces that jim hansen says this only proves the president showed restraint and he joins us to explain.

Dealing with our finances really haunted me. Thankfully, i got quickbooks, and a live bookkeepers helping customize it for our business. live bookkeeper youre all set up janine great hey you got the burnt marshmallow out delivery man he slimed me. janine tissue . vo get set up right with a live bookkeeper with intuit quickbooks. The easy way to a happier business. That undermines the argument that this was done because of an imminent threat based on new intelligence and it was in the moment. Feeling a little bit of heat the last few days people questioning the shifting stories. Certainly inconsistent with the secretary of defense. It in pounds those concerns. The media slamming the Trump Administration after new reports reveal he authorized the killing of iranian general soleimani twee seven months ago. The media ignoring the directive came with the conditions only if iran crossed Donald Trumps redline killing an american. Joining us to weigh in is jim hansen. Thank you for joining us, appreciate it. What about that . Do you think democrats try to argue this shows it wasnt a case of them in imminent threat . Who cares . Soleimani had been a target for decades was the idea that somehow this was presented, it had been discussed, it had been vetted legally and approved if they killed an american simply shows the Trump Administration is doing its Due Diligence and keeping americans safe. The idea that youve got the media out calling him somehow a liar for not giving them the reason they wanted to hear is absurd. They have every reason to know this is a valid strike. This is what the secretary of state had to say on special report. Soleimani is someone who has been on the american radar screen for a long time. Weve known the risky presented to the world, we had to reach the right moment. You think this was the right moment. It was absolutely the right moment. They kill americans, attacked their embassy at soleimanis orders and what donald trump says he is going to do something he follows through so he was not going to leave the rest of our embassies and bases essentially as targets by not giving the correct response when the iranians went over his red line. Shannon this wasnt a case of the american who was killed at the embassy on that previous friday. It is a long list of provocations. They have been conducting attacks on tankers in the gulf which is a threat to shipping which is us strategic interests, they shot down a us drone in the attack that killed an american was not the first time they shot rockets at us bases. They had been doing it. It was the first time they killed an american and that was 100 unacceptable. Shannon that was his red line. House this compare to the failed redlines of the Obama Administration and lets bring up the timeline for the Obama Administration. Compare the two for us. When obama drew a red line in the sand instead of siri uses chemical weapons they crossed it and obama tried to erase that redline. When trump drew a red line saying do not kill americans and the iranians cross that he erased soleimani. That a distinction for bad guys around the world to know you do not cross this president , he will stand up for this country. Shannon other countries are watching. Specifically we mentioned north korea watching how we handle the situation. Im sure Ali Abedzadeh is offering intently, he was making a little noise talking about doing christmas presents which he didnt do and now he has an object lesson in what happens when you are no longer Donald Trumps partner or ally or bargaining person. If you go ahead and step out of that and become an enemy it is not good for you. Shannon jim hansen, thank you.

China purchased over two years, the us will reduce some tariffs on chinese exports, they remained on 3001 billion of chinese goods and not to manipulators currency as we sentence to getting it.

Unlike fast trade agreements. America puts a fair shake. This is how trade policy should work. Phase two will come next.

Donald trump will hold or keep America Great rally in wisconsin, by 20 in 2016. To register felons to vote may help his democratic opponent. John thomas joins us to break it all down. Thank you for joining us, appreciate it. Lets break down the numbers, the 2016 results where donald trump won by one , very close in 2016 and as a result the president won by 23,000 votes and felons in wisconsin, the number of felons, top 66,000, this could be different and make a difference in the race. Democrats and leftleaning organizations are doing everything they can to register them to vote and have Contact Information to push them to the polls. Bottom line democrats are not able to beat donald trump on the issues particularly the economy would be an issue so they are trying to mobilize and shift the turnout model. They cant win as the rules are. What donald trump has up his sleeve no other candidate has, the ability to excite, with his base. Only donald trump can stress the importance to his voters to turn out. Heather pushing for these felons to vote, new voters know they are in trouble. That is what is happening, the math isnt looking good. If you look at other swing states like Florida Democrats have abandoned florida because they are not in play. What is happening is it looks like donald trump, this will come to the issue of the economy and they cant make a better argument so they have to turn out more new voters in this group of felons is one they think they can convert. Lets look at this across the country. The states where felons would lose their right to vote include nine states, their right to be restored with prison parole and probation, 19 states including wisconsin and restored after prison and parole, california and connecticut and we go to their voting, 18 states and dc. We have two states where they could vote from prison in maine and vermont. It is part of a larger democratic plan to shift the turnout model and figure out how to turn out more democrats, the same reason a lot of democrats are for illegal immigration, they cant win by playing by existing turnout model so they have to turn out new kinds of voters. What republicans need to be aware of his they are looking to shift this model. It is more important than ever that every republican show up. Shannon talk about the economy because they are doing good. Theyd time now is six minutes until the top of the hour and a show of thanks to that churchgoer who didnt flinch in the face of danger.
