american civil liberties and more on what will happen with immigration in the united states and have a wonderful evening everyone. kennedy begins now. kennedy: thank you, trish. threat of war going on by the date and the united states and iran on a collision course. it's been for decades in the making but will cooler heads prevail? or will our brave sons and daughters head into another potential disastrous middle east quagmire. earlier today state farm and ordered all nonessential government personnel to leave iraq immediately. we're told it's because of the quote, imminent threat, but the white house won't say what that threat is exactly. for noninterventionist that should be alarming because we all remember how the war in iraq began with bad intelligence and bad decisions. as you know, pentagon is already set up b-52 bombers to the

region and the u.s. says lincoln aircraft carrier and its strike groups also in the area and comes days after we were told someone damaged for oil tankers in the persian gulf. reuters reporting that it was not the iranians but they gave it their blessing and the saudi's claiming the pipelines have been attacked. lawmakers argue now is the time to stand up to iran. watch. >> they are a malign influence across the world and spent hundreds of millions of dollars a year and channel them into terrorist organizations throughout the world and we cannot stand down now and we will have to manage the rest go along with it. kennedy: there are others humble sides of the aisle that they cannot rush into another potentially devastating protracted war in the middle east. >> i would urge the state department and dod to come down here and explain to us what is going on because i have no idea what the threat stream is beyond

what i read in the paper and i think there people in my shoes that are going to support standing up to iran but we need to understand what we are doing so i would urge the ministration to come down and brief members of hundreds about the threat as they see it. >> we do not need an iraq weapons of mass to structure moment. we were falsely led into a military engagement in iraq which is one of the biggest mistakes we've had in foreign policy. kennedy: 2020 presidential parties cannot senators that he does not pushing them for a fight. >> what worries me is that the architect of the efforts right now to get us into a war in iran is the guy who was the architect and getting us into the war in iraq, that is john bolton. kennedy: it's important to remember nearly 4500 u.s. troops have died so far in the iraq war and many more were injured and millions of civilian casualties.

it has cost billions of taxpayer dollars so should the president play hardball with iran or is it best to turn down a little bit? joining the former state department advisor and also senior advisor to president trump and toward the bush is back. welcome back, christian. >> thank you, kennedy. kennedy: tommy about hearing about the 120,000 troop number that has been floated by nominated patrick cheney and. >> i'm hearing president trump is not fiercely considering that option right now and that of course he wants to and has ordered as officials respond to this intelligence indicating the elevated threat but the idea of a ground war or another iraq style operation in the middle east is farthest from the mind of this meditation. if push does come to shop we will play to our strengths and used enough power, naval power and airpower but even that is not priority number one. if you look today president trump tweeted about having talks

with iran and watching them come to talk at some point. >> the iranians have signaled that they know that and it would be a bad idea for them and for the united states to get into any sort of military engagement whether short-term or long-term and i don't think we know how to have a short-term complex in the middle east and that is perhaps biggest problem and that is why your seen pushback from both sides. my question is about deterrence because demonstration is talking about that hawkish members and a show of force but what happens if the other side knows that's all it is is a show. >> more than just a show and also is a restoration of the status quo because in some respects we have an aircraft carrier in the persian gulf and number of carriers have dwindled from say 15 when ronald reagan left office to about 11 to date with had them placed elsewhere. going back to the golf is the

prevailing situation and this is a modest show of force but something that iran should understand. they are pushed against open door for much of the history of the last 40 years since the islamic revolution and have not paid a price for killing hundreds of americans iraq in the last decade and do not pay a price for the towers and they never paid a price for taking out the black hostage when they first came to power. >> to me carter paid a price. >> with talk about the decorations and that u.s. embassies in baghdad or what are you hearing about that? what is that actual threat because that is not something that is unlikely considering the number of nonemergency personnel americans in those parts of the world. >> and also our democratic compounds are fortresses in their very much removed from something that can be accessed by ordinary iraqis. that tells me there's a threat that is not exactly specific but a general threat if you will that indicates iran through its proxies want to strike either u.s. military or manifestations

around persian gulf or broader or broader diplomat. as a place where i ran has the most ability to act which is unfortunately inside iraq and unfortunately after all the effort we put into the country there is a desire to remove americans from harm's way and go down to essential personnel. >> it is though those neighbor have been consumed from the inside out and haul it out and then rolled has been running so much of that region and does he have the upper hand right now or does the united states and if not how we get a back? >> i don't know if there is coming back in itself lamentable situation and put a foreign service officer in charge of it as we did in the form of jerry and the de facto viceroy in iraq but i think the best thing we can do is what the president is doing which is pushing back methodically but frankly in a

noninterventionist or pro- intervention way against iranian tentacles. kennedy: and i hope because tentacles could really work into the innards of the middle east and the makings are incredibly messy i hope there are people appealing to the presidents noninterventionist site here because it could get dirty a lot sooner than it gets cleaned up and that might be - got to get people. christian, thank you. >> thank you, kennedy. kennedy: in the meantime trade war shows no signs of cease-fire and that could be in big trouble for nations farmers and small businesses and ultimately all of us consumers earlier today steve nugent told a probation 20 the talks will resume in the new future and that does not exactly ring with urgency in the comment, presidentially condemned u.s. tactics as quote, stupid. president trump's good buddy, senator lindsey graham, says we

should not expect it to take down anytime soon. >> so, this is the best chance in my lifetime to get china to change their cheating ways. terrorists are tools to bring china to the table and were standing one 100% with the president. we will have short-term pain to get china to change our behavior and we don't get china to change they will destroy our economy over time. i'm one 100% with the president. kennedy: i don't like the whole economy being destroyed part, but i like the good economy private president reportedly told advisors fighting the china popular with his base for 2020 but a brand-new fox news poll found that is not exactly the case. 45% of americans say the increased tariffs hurt the economy and 34% say it helps. 11% say makes no difference. could he lose support if the trade war continues or does he have another trick up his wizard sleeve? here with me now daily or color editor-in-chief and author of the art of the donald - chris

bedford returns. welcome back. >> good evening. kennedy: you say this war with china and re- correcting their bad course is more important to the president then the immigration issue. >> it is. if you look back . kennedy: that is quite a statement. >> he does talk a lot about immigration. the main point of his platform but if you go back decades and donald trump's interviews the united states is not getting a fair dale untreated has been number one. he's been critical of president reagan for not being hard enough on what he said was then the china japan for the last 20, 30 years he has been very focused on this writing problem with china and as a protectionist and a tariff cleaning person someone who wants to fight for american trade deals is not necessarily a free market that is been key to donald trump's character for almost the entire time in public life. >> but if he's wrong it could be

destructive. >> it could be disruptive but he's getting money here and options for example farmers have been losing money based on his deals and farmers are a key constituent to president trump midwest is important. he looked at, for example, where biggest year of buying agriculture in the united states was $15 billion and he figures if you can raise 70 billion to 100 billion in tariff taxes he can give them and . kennedy: that is stealing money from you and me to give to them and that is wrong on all levels. china does not feel the pain and consumers feel the pain and. kennedy: the president is not being straightforward when he says those tariffs are being paid for by china. we all know that's not the case. that is what you're seeing and erosion of the good-faith numbers this whole thing and we

don't know how it will end it has not ended yet and the talks upon a part we don't know if there's enough urgency to get those talks back online. >> we know china is basically a slave economy and exporting cheap goods under other markets and they basically copied the old british opium trade and exported across the planet undercutting jobs and if the president is able to push back and change that right now president xi is crying crocodile tears about global cooperation but never trusted in cooperati cooperation. kennedy: he doesn't cooperate with anyone. he's whining about the paris climate record in our court in the shenanigans but china and india are polluting more. we pollute less in this country and rightly so but i will tell you this a lot of not involved in manufacturing are saying switch manufacturing but it is not that easy.

>> it is not that easy. we did a deep dive and how much more a unit it would cost to sell an iphone manufactured in the u.s. it was about $150 and that seemed like a lot of money but just the next year after that story iphone released a thousand dollar phone which is ridiculous and bought by u.s. consumers. the question is what makes the country strong and makes it good going forward? is it an abundance of cheap goods or jobs in manufacturing here? kennedy: it is both great jobs in manufacturing and cheap goods. people like saving money. they like cheap goods and going to walmart. i like going to walmart. i like going to target. i like going to the dollar tree. >> but find cheap goods with food stamps is not a great place for society to be. kennedy: i agree. that's why we need more free market economy. thank you, chris bedford. >> thank you, kennedy. kennedy: your genius is on it. please, don't miss maria bartiromo's interview with wilbur ross tomorrow morning at 730 a.m. eastern, they will

and i recently had hi, ia heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin.

no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. kennedy: thank you for watching the show tonight. tomorrow night and ibm catch the
