Surprises for him up our sleeve. Ed pete doesnt know we have surprise. Pete you canning judge of which surprise is better. Competing till the end. Ed i have one up my sleeve as well. Meantime a lot of breaking news all weekend long. This fox news alert. President warning iran that america will not back down. Pete iran threatens the retaliation of for the death of qassem suleimani. Emily trey yingst in jordan what could happen next. Reporter good morning. Another funeral procession is underway for iranian general of qassem suleimani. Many of those participate points calling for the strong response. Iranian and Iraqi Parliaments are heading meetings today. Iraqis will begin deliberation whether or not to allow to continual howing u. S. Troops operating in iraqi territory. Two rockets occurred landing close to u. S. Bases. No u. S. Forces were injured in the assault. President trump said he is willing to hit 52 iranian linked sites if there is more provocation in a series of tweets, quote, let this serve as a warning if americans do hit, are hit in the region the United States will respond. President trumps warning comes as the iranian said they have 35 different american sites ready to target. Listen to what a Senior Iranian general had to say towards the United States earlier today. As the Supreme Leader in his message god willing we will take harsh revenge on the resist sans battlefields and children of iranian nation, criminal enemy, imperialism and criminal america. Reporter the drone strike against soleimani outside of baghdads International Airport a proxy war between the west and iranian linked groups in the region. Important to note, petes as you know well having been in region reporting a number of iranian linked in iraq and lebanon and United States. United states and troops and allies such as israel remain on high alert. Ed youre absolutely right, hezbollah, lebanon and hamas. That was a great point we grazed over a little bit. Is iran a cause or a country. This Islamic Republic exported terrorism around the region and the globe from the very beginning using proxies like hezbollah and amass. Some wanting to touch the United States as they could. Treating them like a regular country you dont have same political calculation. Emily this blow to the regime by killing qassem suleimani. It puts an end to the that the iran they are not a country and they have not been for the past decade. Ed it is all about terror as you both suggested. People familiar with how this played out taking out soleimani. The president was briefed that soleimani typically traveled in and out of baghdad airport, International Airports, with a large jet, loaded it with innocent people. Pete so classy. Ed he might have staff, might have family, friends. If the u. S. Took that plane down, it would be a propaganda victory for the iranians where they would say, the americans killed 100 people. Americans killed 200 innocent people whatever the number may be. In this case the president was briefed on the fact they had a narrow window they know where he would be in the convoy, soleimani, so they could take him out. Im told the president was on the phone with a military leader as it played out. As they counted down the window closing to take out soleimani and other terror leaders, it wasnt just soleimani. The president gave the go signal. The military said it is done sir. Pete to the very end, based on your reporting. Robert row brian, National Security advisor involved in the conversations as well. He was on quote justice last night. Here is what he said. Weve seen threats from iran and coming from the region, threats made to americans, president takes threats made to the United States and threats against american citizens, our soldiers airmen, marines, diplomats very seriously and i think the president is trying to make it clear to the iranians this is a very bad path for him to go down. We caught soleimani in the act of planning and plotting to kill americans in the region. He was eliminated in a precise operation carried out by the u. S. Military. We have said hey, that is the end of it. If the iranians decide to retaliate or escalate, that would be a very, very bad path for them. Pete very bad path for them as the president pointed out on twitter last night. 252 sites, that represent 52 hostages. Iran will think twice whether or not they have the capability to hit is where it hurts considering what we could do to them. Emily we already heard a lot of backlash especially from democrats on the hill. With those jumping to conclusions this in retaliation and revenge, these are war crimes, jumping to assumptions against the president he called off after the drone strike because there would have collateral airstrikes he demonstrated restraint multiple times. The notion he is running around half cobbed is real did i doing disservice to the Intelligence Community and. It is not just one person. Ed rather than focusing taking out the terror leaders, the democrats have largely been focused on process issues and whether or not were going to war. Very important question. Pete jumping to that conclusion. Ed look what Elizabeth Warren on campaign trail is jumping to. You are threatening to commit war crimes. We are not at war with iraq. American people do not want war are iran. You do not get to start a war with iran and your threats put our troops and diplomats at greater risk, stop. They have to deal with impeachment. They have been spending a awful lot of time on that. Maybe they focus on some of these very serious issues but to suggest iran may now target u. S. Diplomats, they have been targeting u. S. Diplomats. That is where this started. All the runup to. Ships they have been going after number one. Number two, the u. S. Embassy in baghdad basically under siege. We had to send troops there to protect it to make sure it was not another benghazi. Im not sure where the democrats are coming from here. Emily this was as secretary of state pompeo said this was decisive defensive action. The escalation, responsibility for the escalation was iran. This was the response to it. This was not escalation. Pete Eric Swalwell another democrat tried to run for president and failed. Legal justification for action without proper congressional authorization for military force, strategic rationale for a concrete plan for dealing with its inevitable consequences. A lot of word salad. President he says is not showing justification even though they delivered to congress. Ed i got some of that. I will take this one. Number one they just attacked our embassy. War powers resolution. Is there. Disrupt systemic escalation against us. Know that attacks will be met with consequences. Pretty simple. Pete war powers resolution gives commanderinchief a lot of latitude to strike. 48 hours to report to congress which the white house done. 60 days if you commit forces. Talk about the aumf. We have aufm covers iraq, theater, afghanistan dating post9 11. Just so happens soleimani was in baghdad in that theater of operations. You know what is worse . Talk about speaker pelosi, a lot of people accused squad and cortez and others being real speaker. Elizabeth warren says, it is almost a war crime. Cortez tweeted, this is a war crime. This is a war crime to tweet that there are 52 sites we will sit if you continue to threaten america. Now tweets and threats are war crimes, saying youre going to kill families, women, children. The foolishness where the left goes how much they hate this president. Dont think of history. Well get a chance later in the show to break down all the ways iran since its founding in 79 as a cause has exported terrorism. This is a terrorist regime that runs a country that exports it around the globe. This is their top terror general. Thank goodness we finally is have a commanderinchief to willing to take him on.

A lot of debate still going on what will happen in congress, happen in washington days ahead in terms of robust debate whether or not well have war with iran. Meantime wall street journal jumping in say the democrats should admit the obvious, which justice arrived for soleimani the terrorist. The president , according to their headline acted against a terrorist who killed hundreds of americans. Listen to this quote. For a generation Major GeneralQassem Soleimani strolled the middle east spreading terror and death. President digs to order the attack. Iran is promising retribution. Perhaps it will strike somewhere. Now iran will have to consider mr. Trump will strike back. Clearly, emily, a message sent by commanderinchief. Emily that is probably why those that said we were talking earlier about the legality of this strike. Part of the argument under article 2 it is clearly a defensive action. The argument from the left, what about if the escalation was predictable . What if the conflagration of war is so predictable, so out of the ordinary makes an exception to the post74 strikes that weve seen . Well the answer is, that the entity responsible for the escalation was terror regime iran. The entity responsible for that this cause, not country, duped and bullied the rest of the world treating them like a country playing by the same rules, when those are not the rules they have been playing by. Pete my experience nothing in war can be predictable. You talked about the fact that washington must debate about war with iran. President made the it clear, i made decisions because i dont want to go to war with iran. Being strong how you prevent war. What is clear, iran over time has been at war with us. Well break down the attacks. Well do it right now. Come along with me. You have a front row seat, enjoy. This is small lisps you can go on and on. Major terror attacks connected to the iran since the founding of that country, go back to april 1983, bombing of u. S. Embassy in bay beauty. 17 americans killed. Hezbollah responsible.

March of find two, bombing of Israeli Embassy in buenos aires. Not just the middle east but around the world. Khobar towers in saudi arabia. 19 is air force personnel killed. Was it hezbollah or was it al qaeda . Does it matter . They Work Together when they need to. July of 2012, bombing in bulgaria. This is a short list. This doesnt include soleimani owes direct involvement in afghanistan and syria. American of soldiers killed by the fps and carried out. Ed saying iran might do something. Your broader point they have been not just something, killing americans for years and years and years. Mark meadows, the republican leader, close to the president , said on justice last night, look what is the price of not doing anything. They want to talk about retaliation all day. We let iran to continue to do this. Pete president said, 52 targets, talking about the 52 hostages held for 440 days under jimmy carter, released on Inauguration Day of Ronald Reagan. The belief if you dont send a clear signal to iran you will be tough and more and take more and more. The world is more dangerous place when they do. About time we stood up to soleimani. Emily the point was welltaken, it is clear they have been at war with us. At what point was a president going to do something about it, be a middole for the rest of the world.

The airstrike against soleimani sparking some debate with education scholars that president violated international law. Ed may remember former u. N. Ambassador nikki haley warning iran about such attempt. We hold the Iranian Regime fully accountable for proxy attacks on u. S. Facilities an personnel in iraq. We will not hesitate to vigorously defend american lives ed was the u. S. Justified using force against a regime that regularly breaks international laws. We have joe kent and iraq war vet gop strategist and chris nawin. Host of dear america, podcast, army veteran gram alan. Appreciate you being here today. Good to be with you, he had. Ed joe, start with you. Was the u. S. Justified moving forward with the strike. Jay abs ought sri. Qassem soleimani has lots of american blood on his hands. He was undoubtedly planning attacks on the u. S. Embassy. Look no further than what happened couple days prior when he killed an American Service member up in one of our bases in kirkuk. He attacks against the u. S. Embassy the day before. Soleimani has a long, long record that you guys ran down previously. Sew was in iraq to facilitate more attacks against u. S. Forces. So, defend our embassy and defend our personnel we were more than justified taking him out. Ed chris, you saw democrats almost immediately as the attack played out before this airstrike against soleimani, they were basically saying, that this was going to be a what they called trumps benghazi. What was your reaction when you first heard that . Kind of ridiculous, ed. Everything the demo
