am so happy to welcome larry to the show. a dr. accused of torturing an agent and vic scott. he is here, he's going to tell us why president trump is making all the right moves on trump have a great night. ♪ ♪. kennedy: a while with ironic they marry well beyond the horizon but it looks like the first battle is actually going to take place on capitol hill. one hell of a hill to die on. democrats demanding more from to know why the president ordered the killing of tra the white house says this is all about protecting americans. so what is really going on here? as you know the list military killed soleimani as he was leaving the baghdad airport and that was not in iran. he is reportedly in so many pieces, like a patsy cline's on, they had to identify him by a ring on his finger.

by most accounts this guy was a very bad hombre, likely responsible for the deaths of hundreds of u.s. troops, and he probably deserved it. but was this legal? according to republicans oh hell yes. >> i cannot imagine a someone in the military that we would have to in the middle of these potential strikes with the intelligence coming together, and the decision-making of the commander-in-chief that we would have to go to 435 other people in the moments in order to protect americans. this strike was clearly authorized, soleimani was an evil man, he was a terrorist leader, it was legitimate lawful target. b5 democrats singing a different tune or looking at putting a scandal on the president. chuck schumer and bob menendez are saying it's critical to the national security matters are shared with the american people in a timely manner. an entirely classified notification is simply not appropriate in a democratic society.

and there appears to be no legitimate justification for classifying this notification. and house speaker nancy polsky went one step further show is us and said trump administration conducted april pocketed and disproportionate strike targeting officials and iran. and then the plot thickens as former democratic senator and vice principal real joe lieberman tried to break the tie. joe. >> the american people are not going to vote for a president who did i don't think is going to use american force to protect their security. kennedy: so was this airstrike justified? and what does that mean for the president politically? here's my china party panel we have senior analyst attorney and the federalist contributor desmond is here along with democrat strategist michael

hopkins, and editor and host of the award-winning podcast it is matt welch. welcome everyone. morgan start with most twos most excited his lease excited noel break the tie. >> i think this was a good decision on the part of the president. kennedy: wasn't a bad decision? >> it's a decision for him to make trade this is a fight between the president and the congress and who has the abilities. i would going all the way back that a century, and so none of this is new. this debate between congress and the president over who has the power to do what and between the powers of the commander-in-chief and the power to declare war. i know libertarians will go back and say every word they have not had this kind of escalation it's unconstitutional. but this is not new. fundamentally this is not a new power for the president. kennedy: no but the question is where to be go from here?

because democrats will automatically say world war iii. republicans are like now he ends the war what really happens. >> i mean this is a scary situation we have the united states killing the second-in-command and iran and the president did not notify leadership? b5 but he was so bad, so bad. >> but we don't know the plan is moving forward. bush and going to baghdad because he knew the devastating impacts that would have. the second bush 1 inch iraq, went into baghdad and we are still there. so what's the plan? i have no problem with killing soleimani i just have it issue with not having a plan. kennedy: and i agree you have to make foresight when you make boot big moves like this. when you make big moves you have to build a step in with an answer. but what it looks like here's this president is more like george h.w. and less like george w. he does not want a long protracted mission war, it

looks like he enjoys the short videogame, short-term millennial satisfying missile strike. >> it's like a side of war crimes if you get away with that. kennedy: it's like war crimes are target things. >> it would be were crimes. kennedy: if he did it but he didn't do it should he be arrested by sequel service? >> if he tries to make another joke he should be. he's a person he said he does not win a regime change. he said that in a statement on friday. he said i don't want to have a regime change and there's a big difference in george w bush in terms of what he did with curtis tan. but he is always said i will take the gloves off and let our troops do whatever they need to do if you mess with us. i will kill the families of terrorists on the campaign trail he said that. >> he said he would torture

about dipping bullets in pigs blood that is totally made up. it's a category difference when you spend a lot of time you get confused. we just killed a guy, but it's going to potentially have a lot of instability associated with it he obviously did not plan this out at all. kennedy: no but i agree with that i don't know that there is a lot of internal strife within the dod meaning there were a lot of general saying no don't do it and some people saying it would be a great idea. >> there's a lot of cya in the press saying there was a set of these options are not those options. for the thing that bothers me right now is nancy pelosi, i go ahead and challenge the powers. do that, but where were you in libya? libya have less justification far than this action. libya. kennedy: there's also the greater potential for becoming a vacuum then iran does.

>> actually not to some degree i think this president is pursuing a jacksonian foreign policy. it's not the george w. bush. [inaudible] notes neither george w. bush policy about regime change it's more about if somebody hits americans are american targets were going to hit back ten times harder. now this president came into office where a situation where america has support and assets all over the world. what there could be a discussion on whether we can have a discussion if that's right. kennedy: you can make the case that iran is done a lot have been very provocative without getting any kind of smacked down and killing soleimani is the ultimate smack down. >> but this is a problem when you have a president that lies all the time. now you have this chest bumping and nobody knows what to believe. yet pompeo saying one thing. you have trump sing another and correcting tweets. you have trump sending out tweets saying this is our notification for the war powers act.

the president is acting like this is a joke and troops are going over seed and argot a diet he should take it seriously. kennedy: absolutely because a justification for killing soleimani if you can't kill any more americans. but plenty of americans can die and you make more gold star families if you hastily transact their a lot of bad people at of killed american troops that we are not going after because of the cost that will happen later. this isn't just about what's can happen now but it's white about to happen tomorrow and a week from now and so on. kennedy: but what kind of provocation for my ron would it take to get a measured response. >> may be shutting down the straight. these are measured approaches. the expert seemed to be the ones to tell the president what to do. >> at this.and i take your., but who is an expert? >> the expert who let us hear? the one who let us into iraq in the first place? >> but the president damns for

election for the people this is across-the-board. we have a lot of quote unquote experts and government that makes decisions that are normatively impacts american and the american people and they have been wrong about a lot of people. kennedy: having people died because of robert mcnamara's kid and stroking expertise. it was very, very cold analysis that didn't take into account the human factor which comes out to be the most critical one. we are gonna talk more but with the panel but trump and i iran officials announcing they now so they will not abide by the 2015 nuclear deal, like they were. weapons with uranium in a matter of months. but policy experts believe were ironic at italic in a number of ways including attacks on u.s. military abroad and other u.s. embassies, and u.s. allies like israel, saudi arabia, maybe jordan, a disruption of

oil shipping, taking citizens hostage that is old-school, or executing a cyber attack on u.s. of depositories. that is a massive buffet of options. meanwhile president tweets a pair of contingency plan saying quote let this serve as a warning that if iran strikes any americans or assets we have ... ... targeted 52 iranian sites represent the 52 hostages taken by iran many years ago. so at a very high level it is important so iran and the iranian culture, and those targets will be hit very fast and very hard. the usa once no more threats. so what on earth can be expected next? joining me now cm former cia officer it is mike baker welcome back baker. >> thank you very much. and happy holidays. and happy new year end all those things that we should

say. kennedy: we certainly do. so let's talk about this because the big unknown is what happens next. there are supporters of the president who say everything is good, soleimani is dead nothing to see here, we are going to move on. an older progressive say there we go, another war on the horizon that we cannot afford. so what really could happen? >> well to know that i always turn to twitter because you cannot swing a dead kat on twitter without finding another eye iranian expert. i've been really impressed by how many iranian experts we have in this country and they are all on social media. so that's where i recommend all the listeners go to. kennedy: rose mcgowan is apologizing for the death of soleimani. >> oh my god that was a fast-moving crazy train that was. look here's the thing. i think that first of all i

would like to make one comment is that there is a narrative that develops, that this was done without any thought. look i have spent a long time and operations and these things have all been gamed out to a fairly well. whether we are talking about what might happen with my ron, we go through a lot of scenarios. we go through a lot of exercises and then there are a lot of targets put on the table for contingency planning. the idea that somehow president trump walked to the white house one day and said hey let's blow up soleimani, how about that? and that's what they did. now soleimani's been on the radar screen for a long, long time. kennedy: so you have experts and past administration saying we had a shot at him, and we passed. but then i am also hearing that there are international allies saying thank you very much because that guy sucked. so which is it? >> is the latter. the european allies are not

going to come out because they're all worried about the retaliation so they are playing this very close to the chest. but there's nobody out there and you can see it on the hard left too. they are having a hard time. because they have the criticism of trump's move here by saying one not saying he didn't deserve it, then they go to the next step of but i think there's no plan. and what i am saying is military games these things out constantly. kennedy: how are they getting game it to keep us out of a war? >> well you get to this.that is a good question. but you are looking at probably what will be a this is gonna sound odd given the past two days good morning and all the people out of the streets, and by the way the eye iranian's could put more people out of the streets. tran one saw the killing of 1500 of those people when they oversaw the regime. boulder looking at is a measured response for my ron going forward. in it's probably going to be a mixed bag.

it won't just be a cyber issue but over the last eight or nine years they've developed very strong capability. they have no one near nowhere near our capabilities and cyber warfare but the iranians have developed some very good capabilities. but it will be a combination of that, but more importantly they will be looking to do something that will have this will again sound weird, but a pr factor. because they have to show a strong response. the problem with cyber warfare is its murky, doesn't necessarily lead back to only iranians did this, so they will be looking at again, something that they have already gamed out. for the past several years, and soleimani was probably the architect of that game plan. he was that in the whole region. kennedy: i heard he invented tick-tock. >> i would like to say i have enough to know about tick-tock but i don't.

that's exactly right, scooter was talking about the other day. he actually made a tick-tock video and i just stared at him and he walked away and actually muttered okay boomer. [laughter] kennedy: baker we have to go, whenever you're back in new york, by we will save a seat for you. >> uy will do that you have the best refreshments in the business. kennedy: think you may mention a cookie tonight. coming up what would a war with iran mean? here's the 2020 race and how as democrats handle things if he or she win? the panels going to react to that plus lincoln chafee look he has been a republican senator a democratic governor, and a libertarian independent. and now is trying to run for president as a libertarian. does he have what it takes to pull it off? and by its i will ask him

fisher investments. clearly better money management. sending soleimani to hell has sent democratic hopefuls with talking points but dealing with a scrap storm is' more than playing grab alice added des moines elks lodge. this presidential cycle has been mostly about impeachment and comportment. and foreign policy thus far has been on the back burner. this issue is tailor made for bernie sanders sin is feeling the burn is thickest to highlight his consistent record as a non- interventionist. it might be what i like best about bernie sanders and his wisdom and foregoing middle eastern conflicts. these words are costly, and endless. other candidates to come out against the head they are just doing a bernie sanders impression.

and they are no larry davis. andrew yang says we should invest in diplomacy. and he is right we should not be remaking the middle east and our pottery barn image, but we show investing in individuals which means letting people keep their own damn money. close to gabbert has a little bit more since she has worn a uniform perch she is completely repulsed by military pursuit like a vegan going to slaughter her house. she calls soleimani's death an act of war. then there's the joe biden side where the candidate acknowledged soleimani was a heartless murderous terrorist who deserves to rot in hell with bin laden and abd al-latif al-baghdadi. but they can't give the president i went so they have to qualify that trump is too dumb to be making such big and dangerous moves. booty judge had pretty much the same points but his words have more weights because he was a navy man and understands the price of battle. elizabeth warren's plane jones

hair in her analysis boils down to gets us off impeachment therefore a stale tale of wag the dog. she's like ma'am on people used to tell me. the real question for these wannabes is how serious and specific this the sweat have to be to qualify is eminent, and what would cause you as president to act? we all know vacuums make problems especially in the middle east, so how do you as commander guaranty ironic does not become the latest? so far bernie gets the most points for consistency, but he has to show his work and sometimes messy ideologies collide to make even bigger quagmires. they are all not ready for primetime players who have yet to fully explain how, short of blaming the president, they would clean up this latest mess. and that's the memo. >> foliar tonight tulsa gabbert said the past two decades we have spent in the middle east would look like a cake walk to with iran. watch.

>> in an all-out war with ironic make the wars we've seen and i iraq and afghanistan look like a picnic. it will be far more costly in lives, american lives, american taxpayer dollars, and all towards accomplishing what goal? kennedy: so who is right gabbert booty judge. panel party panels back in a step in, michael star hopkins, and matt welch. i like how the candidates how they respond but the.i was make it the beginning of the memo is this is not just a tap dance the campaign talking. this is really serious. and up one of them is elected, they are going to have to clean up with this president has done now. but they have to very clearly outline where's the line and when you act? >> and also what does withdrawal look like? for me one of the better things about the field, and there are many in the field including tall see mayor pete

and elizabeth warren. they would say we will take our troops back home from afghanistan. which is something trumpets said he wants to do but it's been talked out of it. but that is also going to leave a vacuum. a vacuum is knocking to bni ran it is in iraq right now. the trump administration has a weird flurry of memos going out with the confusion whether we are still planning leaving i rack when the parliament total to take a long walk off a short period. but that does create vacuums. but what is the balancing test for you. do you create a vacuum or do you stay there forever with gigantic or embassies and the fortresses are pointing out saying please attack us so you'll stay forever. so it is a difficult question. i'm heartened to see that some of these guys and said that all these things should be authorized by congress and there should be. [inaudible] kennedy: it is unbelievable they are still abiding to the iraq resolution and that is

their justification because there are so many problems here. with soleimani being the architect creating the vacuums because he knew how to fill them which is malicious, but now that he is gone, what happens to the power structure not only in iran, which still has a great deal of wealth and infrastructure, but places like iraq and syria? >> and that's a great question. these candidates if you're looking at the present you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. if they attacked and juergen juergen take a hit for that. kennedy: >> i think this is why president trump was talked out of it and i believe president obama wanted to bring troops home from afghanistan is you could end up with the ingredients that make something worse. >> if you look back at al qaeda it was your support for the bouchard demon them bin laden came in and started phoning them and al qaeda came in and afghanistan gave them safe haven and that's how we had 911. so we have to be careful of

repeating history once again. but also we can't just be in countries forever. especially countries like afghanistan that has never been. [inaudible] kennedy: but we need to get out in how to explain the victory looks like. >> so were talking but the vacuum problem but the second big problem is if we want to withdraw assets especially our men and women of the military, then we need to have a strong deterrent to keep foreign and hostile countries from doing things that really got hurt u.s. and that's a strong deterrent. and that's what the president, and i know people say he doesn't have a plan, none of us know what he happens in the white house, but it seems to me this is an idea of how to re- establish strong deterrent that doesn't then require additional ground commitments for decade after decade. i think that's a good line the president's drawing. working to hit she really hard when you hit us but you have

to remember that this is an act of war. iran has provoked just like this over and over and over again. and i think this is his attempt to say we are going to respond strongly and. [inaudible] kennedy: i hope it's like if you keep poking the bear you are going to get mauled. but i want the mauling to be protracted. >> but a couple weeks ago the iranian people were protesting their own government. now they are protesting us. so we have to have a long-term plan, it can't just be you punch me i'm in a drop kick the face. this speemac the perms that could be a good thing i'm not sure. [inaudible] kennedy: brit return a little bit more later so much more to discuss tonight including impeachment. but first antiwar candidate is surging in early polling now in first place in new hampshire that is bernie

sanders. i'm buttigieg, oh he dropped to 13. meanwhile bernie in a three-way tie with pete they are going to her the first primary and just less than a month. mike bloomberg, he has decided to forgo the early states in favor of other contests around the country. he just landed a key endorsement watch this. >> i'm judge judy and i'd like to say you can judge someone's character by what they've done. michael bloomberg has done amazing things. i will be and he will be a truly great president. kennedy: that's truly wonderful that ad has not pushed his campaign in a top-tier, but will that judge judy endorsement finally do the trick? joining me is tom bevan welcome back. so let's first talk about bernie. because as i said in the memo

this entire arena is tailor-made for him. and being the consistent antiwar guy, that resonates with people who want peace. and iowa is one of those places who happens to house a lot of those people. >> bernie has incredible staying pattern you think back to when he had as a heart attack and who has a heart attack in the middle of the campaign and does better. he's bounced back and raising a town of money he has a really solid level of support. and as elizabeth ward has fallen off and that happened before they are ran thing popped up. it had her was because of her inability to answer medicare for all perches fall off and iowa and new hampshire and other places and bernie he has benefited from that. so he is in prime position. so with that comes high expectations. he is now leading and iowa, are very close second in iowa, leading a new hampshire. kennedy: it's really a three-way tie and iowa.

>> yes there are three folks at 20 to 21 and a half and 20 and warners fallen down the middle teens. it got klobuchar who's coming up. remember it's all about expectations. if joe biden is right there in second place a close second placement finishes in third place five or seven off the pace. but amy klobuchar manages to finish at 14% in fourth place or even just edges that elizabeth warren, that's a huge win for her. she's going to be able to spend that as a success story going into new hampshire. the press will love that implied up. kennedy: that's a good operation in new hampshire? >> she spent a lot i a lot of time and iowa. kennedy: they are all betting on iowa. bloomberg will his money make any help in this race. >> it well the national polls you seen him go up to the five, six, 7%. he's obviously spending tons and hiring people. but his entire strategy

revolves around the idea that joe biden fails. and right now joe biden is not failing. kennedy: if you look at video of joe biden, is not only gassed after gas but he's swerving parities guiding incredibly low energy. we have seen them in debates. he is done pretty well at best in some of them and worsen others. and i don't know what he looks like an october and november. but i guess we will see. and we have rcp to keep track of everything along the way. coming up why on earth is nancy plus he still holding onto those articles of impeachment? what is she trying to prove with her icy grasp? that is next. ♪ ♪ orm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it -

jane . kennedy: impeachment watchers have been experiencing very

dry january but today they finally got something to set bond. former national security adviser jon bolton said he is willing to testify in an impeachment trial if he is subpoenaed by the senate. lindsey graham nancy says we might not even get that far. >> so my goal is to start this trial and the next cupping days. not let nancy pelosi take over the senate. my number one goal is not let the speaker of the house become the majority leader of the senate. kennedy: i'm just having fun there will is talking. well jon bolton have his day in court or will the republicans refused to bring in the president's former national security advisor and chief of stash. [laughter] the panel has return i naz michael and matt, ynez i will start with you. i want to hear about jon bolton because i think jon will once the party. he wants to destroy

democrats. >> it's very interesting if he doesn't that come and testify. one is whether he will show up. and what questions will he answer? he is going to turn this into the jon bolton show you know i kind of enjoy the jon bolton show so personally bring it on. but it will be interesting to see what he does and what he doesn't there will be a lot of associated court battles with this. and it's interesting house did not want to take on those they did not want to subpoena him. kennedy: they said yeah they could testify they threw their hands up and i know nancy's being shrewd and all of that but the longer she holds onto the articles of impeachment, the closer we get to iowa and new hampshire. and if she waits another week, or two weeks and then the senate trial starts, what does that mean for senators sanders

combo klobuchar. >> i don't really care about that maybe they need to move the debates. kennedy: know the primary, the caucasus. they can't rock get with their caucus out. >> i think it's fine i think bolton wanting to testify makes the white house nervous and the fact that he's making them nervous. kennedy: is making everybody nervous he's not can make things just difficult for the president he is still a republican. he is the republican john bolton and he wants world to nomination. that means he was some mode down the democrats like they are north korea. >> but we need answers to what actually happened. and i think bolton wants to burn down democrats and burn down republicans, but i think we need some answers. the fact that the white house keeps stopping that. kennedy: but what if they manufacture answers. that's a problem. >> how is he going to

manufacture answers? >> i think nancy pelosi the biggest flaw of what she's done is speed up the impeachment. they could've taken their time subpoenaed john bolton fought in the courts it would've taken longer, yes. but the house would've said these articles of impeachment at that.were based on john bolton testimony so we look at doing the drug deal. and he doesn't like drugs. so he think is a bad deal as far as he's concerned. so like she could have done that, it would've been a much more serious thing much more difficult for the republicans to say less to shove this under the rug. they would have to look at it. kennedy: there is no rug there is no shoving. now there's too much rug. that would've been the better way, the democrats were way too impatient. but you are all president of my heart. what a great panel what a great way to spend the week. coming up mouth trumpets of monday.
