>> jacqui: iran reportedly issued the biden administration a warning of its own earlier this week through intermediaries if the u.s. guess involved, american forces in the region will be attacked. it's not clear if defensive acts like intercepting iranian missiles would trigger that but biden's critics say america is already involved because of inaction. >> we have lost deterrence. right in the iranians have already attacked israel once on october 7th through their proxy hamas. they are continuing to fire on american interest in the region now over 100 times since octobe. and so what we're talking about in the next 24 or 48 hours is just a continuation of a failed policy to actually protect israel. >> jacqui: iran reportedly told arab allies it holds u.s. responsible for likely strike killed general in syria. israel has not taken responsibility for it and the u.s. says it was not involved. the pentagon now moving more assets into the region to bolster deterrence and increase force protection for american troops. the centcom commander in israel to coordinate. >> what happens after iran

in syria and iraq for which iran delivered drones at warehouses in recent days. according to advisers of the irgc and syrian government. another option would be to strike israeli embassies notably in the arab world to show them that friendly ties with tel aviv could be costly these people said. it's one of several reports throughout the region saying the same thing. let's bring in our panel, "the washington post" columnist marc thiessen, leslie marshall, democratic central wrist. and matthew continetti, fellow at the american enterprise institute. marc, the don't doesn't seem like it's working. >> it is not and, look, donald trump was absolutely correct what he said in that press conference today with mike johnson. the iranians were broke when he came into office because of the crippling sanctions he had put on the regime. he also warned them that if you kill a -- he drew a red line and said if you kill a single american, we will -- either you or your proxies, we will not strike the problemsy, we will strike you. when they row crossed that red line he killed qasem soleimani.

that restored deterrence in the region and it lasted until joe biden came in and allowed them to kill americans with impunity. they killed americans on octobe. there were americans killed there their proxy, hamas, is holding americans hostage. and then they kept firing hundreds of missile attacks on u.s. troops and eventually killed an american. this is weakness and you and i both served in the pelc when rumsfeld was there and he said weakness is provocative. that is very important lesson to remember. we are seeing how provocative it is right now. >> bret: i was covering it. you were working for rumsfeld. >> yep. >> bret: you are right. this is the former cia director, former secretary of state leslie, and also a person who was warned and was under the threat of attack from iranian terrorists. mike pompeo, about this. >> what we're talking about in the next 24 or 48 hours is just a continuation of a failed policy to actually protect israel. it won't surprise me if it's a strike that has some

level of ambiguity so that the iranians won't unite the whole world against them. think, maybe, a cyber strike. could be a strike through a proxy. on the other hand, they may decide to come over the top and launch missiles directly from iran into an israeli asset somewhere in the world. >> bret: it's not often, leslie, that we talk so openly about an attack that's going to happen. everybody across the board is saying that it is. israel is preparing for it. the question is what happens afterwards. >> well, a number of things here to unpack. first, to me, you don't show your cards, okay? so, to me don't, don't. we don't need to tell you what we're going to do. use your imagination. two, i understand what marc said regarding october 7th. but we're talking about retaliation, iran for israel allegedly attacking their guys. right? and some people would say what was israel thinking? >> directing terrorist attacks. >> and how many mistakes can we have?

first of all, iran does not have the capability to fight israel, certainly not the united states. they don't have it. not only do they not have the money or the weaponry, but who does is hezbollah. and hezbollah is right there on the lebanon border with israel. and this is a huge concern. but, i am confident not just in our president, i'm confident in our pentagon, i'm confident in our military, our forces throughout the world and our allies to keep their word to israel as we always have and to protect them. iran would be a parking lot if they truly attacked israel. i mean, what, in minutes? when you look at how many nuclear weapons israel has depending on what report you believe. this would be a suicide mission by iran to, i think their bark is bigger than their bite here. i certainly hope i'm right on that. >> bret: well, you know, the thing is, matthew. and responding to leslie. we have heard that "don't" all the way for months now about proxy attacks. it was don't about the houthis,

which to this day continue attacks on u.s. bases in the middle east and even ships. we're adding more to the region in response to these threats, but, i get the ambiguity, leslie but matthew the don't is still going. >> bret, the administration policy has been all over the map. i mean, the clips we showed at the beginning of the segment had administration officials declaring solidarity with israel after october 7th. whereas just a week ago. president biden was now calling on israel for a unilateral cease-fire and to stop the offensive in gaza and not go into the last hamas of rafah. for weeks the administration rhetoric has been more focused on israeli malfeasance than what hamas has been doing or what iran has been doing. and now suddenly they turn around and wonder why iran feels emboldened to retaliate for this strike against one of their terrorist commanders that was hiding out in syria. the administration has lost the plot on the middle east.

they have to recognize that the real threat here is iran. and we have a common threat between israel and the united states, which is iran, and it's time we stopped treating the iranians like they are some kind of off the board piece that doesn't matter. maximum pressure. sanctions, and hit their proxies hard and even, as trump did, and as the israelis did, go after iranian assets directly. >> bret: okay. i want to play a soundbite from kamala harris, vice president, she was in arizona on a now familiar topic. >> overturning roe was just the opening act, was the opening act of a larger strategy to take women's rights and freedoms. part of a full-on attack, state by state on reproductive freedom. donald trump is the architect of this healthcare crisis.

>> bret: all right. the vice president on the attack there in arizona. our latest poll says voters trust president biden more on election integrity and the issue of abortion. but then you look at the economy and immigration and it's completely different to the former president. marc, your assessment of this and obviously we are going to see a lot of it before election day. >> well, you look at that poll, the number one and number two issue for the voters are the ones they don't trust joe biden on. the ones that they care less about are less driving the voters are the ones that democrats have strength on. i mean, look, kamala harris -- joe biden is the most unpopular president in the history of the presidential polling. kamala harris is less popular than him. she literally -- they would probably -- they would probably think about getting rid of joe biden if they didn't know -- they would have to ditch kamala harris as well and the party of identity policies is not going to ditch the first black woman vice president. and keep her from the white house. so, you know, she is going to go

out there. she is going to talk about abortion because it's literally, other than donald trump, the only issue they have to campaign on because he is under water by double digits on every single other issue that voters say they care about. >> bret: all right. the vice president is on the move campaigning. we're going to take a little trip down the road to a place we call candidate casino. and it's the vice presidential version. not with kamala harris but on the other side who will former president trump pick? you have $100 in chips. start with you, leslie. who are you going with? >> i'm going $20 on tim scott. $40 on elise stefanik. and $40 on kristi noem. and because donald trump says he wants a woman i put more money on the women. >> i'm going to put $80, bret, on marco rubio. and -- i'm sorry, the rest of my money i'm going to put in honor of charles krauthammer to vote to wine, women, and song.
