have, we have achieved results that nobody thought was possible. because things were looking very bleak for a long period of time. even nothing like merry christmas, it would go into summer, we are going to say christmas again, now they are all saying merry christmas again. right? they are all saying it. you go to the big department stores three years ago, four years ago and it would have the snow and the red and the white and everything, but they would not say christmas. i said, where is merry christmas. and they said, we cannot say it. they are all saying it again. they are saying it proudly. >> dana: you have been listening to president trump in miami giving a speech to a crowd of evangelical christians, he talked about the news overnight that the united states took action against general soleimani, basically second in

command in iran, and is no more. we will take it around the table at "the five," lawrence jones, emily compagno, but pete, let me start with you. when i first heard the news -- when you first heard the news he must've been quite happy? yes, you know a name like baghdadi, and usama bin laden, but may be flew under the radar, because you were used to hearing the igc, and not necessarily the name, but those who follow the nefarious nature of iran understand how evil this man is and how our nation's war fighters have been targeted by him and his forces not just around iraq, but the globe, hundreds killed because of him, but not particular impersonal nature of the guys who are recovering from the wounds, but that the strategic way of the

motives of the regime in tehran, the name that could force is the jerusalem force, that's what it stands for an english. their goal is the capture of israel and jerusalem, but iran needs to get to israel, and has always been important to iran, the ability to metal and put the regime in charge has been central to the goal, they have popped up with a side, and putting the top general they are to connect even further, puts president trump said if you try to take the embassy and you try to threaten the people, we have declared you a terrorist organization which we did intentionally in april of 2019, which no other administration had done, you pop your head up on more time and your days are limited. that is precisely what has happened. god bless the courage of the president to do that in the war fighters that had the skill to happen. >> dana: it seems like there was an imminent threat, we do not have the details, but we hear from the pentagon that

there was some intelligence that there was going to be an attack directed by soleimani against hundreds of americans. >> which is where the secretary of state has continued to maintain all day that it was a decisive defensive straight with his statements of world leaders who agree with us in that measure. and i agree with everything you said wholeheartedly. anything for four years we have seen u.s. president struggled with the question of whether it is a country or a cause. and it answers the question of how they are going to proceed. and those that are saying it as a whole new war, it is not. it is a new chapter in an ongoing war, up until now we have fought it in the realm of economic sanctions and precision strikes with proxies, but now we have erased to the line between the proxies in the country and i think we have not only delivered a blow to that terrorist regime, but also to the fact that up until now they've been trying to bully the world into treating them like a country. they are not. and so from here on out as you

have said, we will treat them as such. >> dana: you were talking about the strategic way that they were trying to have instability, but it included india. the secretary of state mike pompeo, i would like to play that, because we have marie harf, works the state department, let's play that now. >> president trump made the decision, a serious decision, which was necessary. there was an imminent attack that orchestrated the primary motivator who was qassim soleimani, hundreds of americans lives brought on the sand, actively engaged in plotting to kill americans in the region, the uranian leadership understands that president trump will take action. we made very clear that these responses would be swift and decisive. we have demonstrated that, but we do not seek war with iran, but we will not watch the iranians escalate and put american lives at risk. >> dana: we have seen these

protests in lebanon and iraq by citizens that are frustrated and really protesting iran influence, because they want to be able to govern themselves. spoke to my question that i have today is why now? we heard that there was a threat on the horizon, we need to see more information about that, because the bush administration and the obama administration debated taking out soleimani, and they calculated that the risk of doing so and the consequences that would come from that whether it was basically having us kicked out of iraq, which the u.s. likely will be now, that is where it is trending. whether it was a wider regional instability and wider conflict with iran, there is a calculation, is the strike worth the risk? >> dana: the obama administration, would they have not wanted to strike soleimani, because they were trying to make a diplomatic deal? >> emily: there are reasons that the bush administration also did not target soleimani. >> dana: the bush administration was not trying to make a deal with the

iranians. >> emily: two different administrations, both of whom concluded to do so would create wider stability. instability, we need to know what the trump administration plans are for whs next. how will they get back to the table? how will they handle possible retribution which could come in waves that we see and waves that we don't. it is not funny, pete. >> pete: they are limping back to the negotiating table. >> emily: i will not take that from you today, pete. >> pete: i cannot stand, oh, iraq is going to do something. they will cower the attack. you know what who needs to look over the back, iran? they need to be worried. because america leads. >> emily: do not discount to the people in the region. if something happens to the people -- as do i. so don't discount that. >> pete: why are you pretending that they are this all powerful. >> emily: we are not playing into the narrative, ignoring the threat will not make it go away,

pete. >> dana: showing that you are tougher, can that be a deterrent? >> lawrence: i think it is, and anybody who knows me knows that i hate war. i'm not advocating for war. >> dana: nobody loves war. to speed on the president said something. we took action to stop the war, not to start a war. and that we were not advocating for regime change or anything, but the threat was imminent. and they have said this for months that the president needs to listen to the intelligence. the president to listen to our intelligence. we do not know exactly what was in that briefing, but it was enough that the president felt the need to act. this is a bad guy. >> dana: it is hard to compare previous administrations, the circumstances are different as isis emerged after the bush administration during the obama administration, now the decline, and everyone would like everyone to come home, but only if we can prevent -- >> pete: you mention risk threshold, there is a different

risk threshold, we ended up partnering with iran and soleimani to push him back, which only empowered the iranian officials more, they could take over baghdad. now landing the top official after attacking the embassy, hello, alarm bells are going off saying that the risk threshold has been passed. >> emily: he has been operating in iraq since the bush administration. i want to see the intelligence. because there are a lot of places in the administration. >> dana: the congressional numbers will be back in town, not a new york, but coming up, more reaction from president trump on the air strike taking out the powerful general, we will show that to next. ♪ i've always loved seeing what's next. and i'm still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem.

>> it is not just service members, all american citizens are walking prime targets for iranian retaliation. >> lawrence: accusing president trump as using the air strike as impeachment, tweeting so what if trump once more, knows it is at least a war and needs a distraction." oh, my god. pete, typically when there is something like this, the country comes together, you put politics aside. of course, they can have the debate if the president should declare war, but accusing the president of using this for a block for impeachment? >> pete: the whole idea of him being commander in chief, there was a commentator today that said right action, wrong commander in chief. and it does not matter the decision that is made. there was literally jonathan on another network that said, the implication is, i would rather have the correct commander in chief, meaning hillary clinton and the wrong action.

and sums up precisely how they view him, the reality is, the commentary is true. he made the right call. he made a call based on advisors around him who believe this is an imminent threat and specifically because he saw a policy action taken under the obama administration where sovereign american soil where there was a consulate or an embassy that was threatened then not taken seriously. dismissed by an internet video and the national security advisor later on. he said if you're going to try that. and we know what they do, iran 40 years ago use the embassy in tehran as a launching off point for the american public. the embassy is meaningful, it is sovereign american soil. this will not happen again. and as a result, i see the signs in front of me, and i'm going to compensate. i will send the marines, i will send the 82nd airborne, which he did knowing they had intelligence on the line. it looked like a bigger reaction than people thought as a result,

they knew what was coming next. this was something intentional, because he did not, imagine if he had not acted. the amount of negligence he would be charged with for knowing about the gathering threat and not stepping up. >> emily: there been threats from him for decades, that's why i'm harping about knowing more about this. because i think the american people deserve the knowledge about why this time was different with all of the potential downsides that will come from the strike. look -- >> pete: like in 2011, there were downsides that came from that too. >> emily: we are not talking about 2011, we are talking about today. >> pete: why can't you say this is a bad guy who is dead and that is a good thing? >> emily: because a consequences that come from it could have strategic and negative impacts on the united states that outweigh the benefits. this is a consequential decision that american administration has taken in the middle east since the decision to invade iraq in 2003, and i have not seen the strategic planning from the

trump administration that means they know what will come next. >> lawrence: it is one thing to say that you need more information, but you have obama former officials like ben rogue saying that they question the president strategy, the competence to lead. >> dana: that will happen, and presidents cannot worry. they have to make decisions based on the information that they have, the responsibility that they have and the timing, and that is not for them to figure that out right now, the other thing is, if there had been an attack based on something the president knew about and did not attack, what you think the 2020 democrats would have said instead? it would've been a different administration because of how much tougher they would be. it is difficult when it happens in the middle of a presidential election. to the point is that the congresswoman from minnesota said that it may be president trump was just trying to create a distraction, i think you can argue please say that from september until now, the biggest distraction in america

has been impeachment. that was actually a distraction. and i also think that there is more strategies behind this because of something you pointed out, pete, that in april of 2019, the trump administration designates soleimani and his group as a terrorist organization. i think that probably will look back and find the history is written about this time that there was a lot more strategy than we thought. but you can't plan everything out. so yes, you need to know where things are going. speak to the point i would like to make is that when people say that this is the s escalation, what have the iranians been doing? steadily escalating and becoming bolder with their actions against us starting with oil tankers and then the oil processing facilities and then u.s. positions, and then an all-out attack that killed a u.s. contractor and then an attack on the u.s. embassy. so i also don't understand why all of a sudden out of the blue we question the u.s. intelligence community when

apparently especially in domestic matters they are to be absolutely believed at all points. it is only because of the involvement that all of a sudden we are not to trust them. when they have the intelligence committee coming out that a major attack necessitated the preemption with the risk. so why now all of a sudden do we need more information when we have it coupled with iranian behavior and decisions in these last year or so have escalated, why would we not believe that? >> lawrence: 2020 democrats lashing out at president trump for killing the iranian top commander. i'm happy to give you the tour, i love doing it. hey jay. jay? he helped me set up my watch lists. karl! he took care of my 401k rollover. wow, you call a lot. yeah, well it's my money we're talking about here. help from a team that will exceed your expectations. ♪

and though it prevented an imminent attack, take a look. >> tragically his actions now put us on the path to another war. >> greater today because of the actions donald trump is taking. >> this was very clearly an act of war by this president. >> we have a president who has had really a failure in his iranian policy. >> i can only hope that the president has sought out the national security implications of this attack. >speak with an ex-president who will be picking up the pieces after the trump administration. >> pete: and mike pompeo responding with this bliss -- blistering rebuke. >> we did not send cash to the iranians, we did not pay for hostages. we did not create a deal that would have given a clear pathway to a nuclear weapon. we have taken a very different approach. we believe that it is the one that will lead to success and stability the middle east.

>> pete: is this criticism something you are familiar with? is this something they will do when there is a disputed foreign policy? or is it even more frothy? >> dana: i was trying to think back to some other examples of that. and the initial response after 9/11 was widely -- had a lot of bipartisan support. the iraqi war had a lot of support and that fellow -- fell apart pretty quickly, but if yok about the red line, there was criticism about that, even though when there were calls for congress to have a debate and reauthorize, the republican said, we don't want to do that because we think that he will head down a path that would tie the president's hands or the hands of future presidents. i was surprised that joe biden today and i think that he could have taken a different attack and separated himself out. because elizabeth warren issuing two statements that were pushing for a more leftward one, and i think joe biden is in this national position as head of the national polls.

and president of the united states, we will take your questions. right? i think that he could have set himself apart. and i think that it would not have heard him as much prey to the extreme position of somebody like bernie sanders or tulsi gabbard, or frankly the ws not inspire confidence. >> pete: putting aside the policy, we can disagree, but is that a position joe biden could take? is that a democratic nominee stepping back and supporting donald trump in an action that he takes overseas? or is that automatically something that you have to hate? >> marie: i think it would be not genuine for him to say what dano wants him to say, that would not be a good thing. but i think that joe biden is not afraid to use military force, he voted for the war in iraq, not causing him the same problems that it caused hillary clinton in 2008.

but mayor pete is trying to get that in there. but on this, i think that joe biden was trying to do a version of that but say, obviously this is a good thing, killing soleimani, he was evil. he had american blood on his hands. but you have to think about the second, third, fourth quarter outcome, and i don't think president trump had. he was trying to be the moderate, and tulsi gabbard saying this is an act of war. she is way out there on issues related to iran anyways. but would democratic voters want to see is a strong statement. and so a statement like mayor pete's that did not say a whole lot, i think that he actually served in afghanistan could've made a much stronger statement for why he believed it was putting us on the course for conflict. and he missed an opportunity here. i think. >> lawrence: joe biden is not the one that we want to go to for these decisions pretty has been wrong on every foreign policy, and from the raid, i'm

not sure that i would put that much stake in his opinion on this. but i do believe that the other candidates could have struck a another tone. but the progressive side of the democratic party is not going to be from them. they look at just as it appeared, even though the guy was a bad guy, somebody a libertarian like me has even taken a step back saying i want more information, but this is a counterterrorism strike, and i believe that the president did the right thing. >> pete: should it be okay to be on team america for just like an hour, a day, a statement? >> emily: we saw that with elizabeth warren just like we saw from medicare for all, so she said, i support, he was a murderer. i see the increasing spending for this, and basically when the left started freaking out at her party, she came back and said, oh, just kidding, it was an assassination. and she is tougher for it after she did that thing with medicare for all, support deflated, and if people see through this, we

are seeing a waning for her, but you can't be a candidate to all wings of the party. and we are seeing it here for that reason, you cannot stand up for one moment and really tell the truth for one moment. >> dana: i think with the bernie sanders position, it could be attractive to a lot of people. president trump are examples when he was campaigning, we are out, we are done. we are not doing that. and then when you are present and everything is different because you have the responsibility and more information. but bernie sanders was like i will prevent war with everyone. >> pete: we might get to talk about that, because president trump also ran on that, pull us out, bernie sanders is talking about it, and people will talk about that. up next, more reaction to the what'd we decide on the flyers again? uh, "fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance." i think we're gonna swap over to "over seventy-five years of savings and service." what, we're just gonna swap over? yep. pump the breaks on this, swap it over to that.

over after declaring an air strike to take out iran's top general. here is an explanation of the action. >> soleimani was planning imminent and sinister attacks on military personnel, but we caught him in the act, and terminated him. under my leadership, america's policy is unambiguous to terrorists who harm or intend to harm any american. we will find you, we will eliminate you, we will always protect our diplomats, service members, all-americans, and our allies. >> emily: speaking of allies, secretary pompeo made a specific reference too many different countries and allies of ours that have supported the reaction acknowledging that it was iran's escalation that required in necessitated the de-escalation. what comes next? >> pete: what comes next most importantly for the president is

americanamerica's interest, my e part of this was the flag tweet after. if this is action taken in advance of america's interest. we cannot guard them out of the embassy. we have been training for 16 years and they led the iranians through to trash the embassy. we cannot rely on allies that have never been full partners as much as we would like them to be in the war of his radical terrorism. if we defend ourselves, it will be ospreys as it maintains to the future, we kill a irani in general, we have spent that much time investing in. if the iraqi parliament votes to say we do not want the americans they are. and i say in the mall guns and let them shoot each other. and i know that sounds sort of barbaric and backwards, but i think that there are a lot of people out there in america that say, if you are not satisfied yet, if you won't follow through and defend yourself yet, then at what point do we decide it is not in our interest? we can do some from further away and work with allies that are

still there like the kurds, but pouring money and pouring weapons and pouring investment into places where people are not capable of keeping it is something the president ran against. so this action should not pull us closer to war, but instead it has a weakness that invites challenge. this is strength that sends a signal that we want tehran to read. >> emily: and the messaging has been a commitment to de-escalation, if they stopped, we will stop, so how does that go through? >> dana: some frustration along the way, but the drone that the irani and shot down, and you talk about the iranians actions, and we let it slide, but you attacked the embassy, and that is different, but we will get more information on what was the intelligence that led to the strike? and i also think that the iraqi

population could decide that they don't want us here anymore. could they assure that the iranians will not to use that area to plot and plan against the interests of other places. so we have to be prudent and people should give the president and the administration the space that they need and the time to figure that out. but don't forget to that iran is supported by russia and china. china did some joint military drills last week. keep an eye on this. it is a bigger play. i don't think that this is without strategy. i really don't. i think we will find out that there was something leading up to this for a while. >> marie: if we end up having to leave iraq because of this, i think there will be questions about what we accomplished during the time we were there and all of that blood and sweat and american men, pete, that you talked about who sacrificed today or, if we end up with no foothold in the country in a government in baghdad that is closer to tehran because of us and a country in iran where the hard-liners feel emboldened and they now have an external enemy, because don't forget at home in

iran, they are facing incredible protest domestically. probably bigger than the 2009 protest. there are a bunch of different reasons that the protesters are in the streets, but we know that the iranian regime will use it as a rallying cry back home to solidify their power and it will embolden the hard-liners. so it is a strategic question. we know with the positives are taken out. we don't yet know how the negatives -- how the negatives will play, and losing the foothold in iraq after so many years and so much american money and blood and treasure would be a really big problem. >> lawrence: the main thing to take away is where do we go from here? the intelligence is very crucial, are there threats of we took out the main guy, but there is a number two that is taken the spot. what will we do now? and i do believe that the administration has a strategy and the president has been hesitant to reveal that strategy, for national security reasons as well, but i do believe that the country needs

to understand why the president decided to act. i'm not going to divulge all of the sensitive information. >> emily: we are going to switch gears, because there is a huge fight brewing in the democratic party. and it will have an impact on and it will have an impact on who could becom new tide power pods one up the cleaning power of liquid. can it one up spaghetti night? it sure can. really? can it one up breakfast in bed? yeah, for sure. thanks, boys. what about that? uhh, yep! it can? yeah, even that!

don't think it was mild, you read into it and he was saying a lot of baggage, that equals hunter by then, he is trying to let him know that. but if your record is so weak, that means you are not progressive enough, and i am the one that can deliver results, complaining about the administration not going far enough, and you cannot create energy and excitement, basically saying you are too old and too slow for this, and i am not. and i think it was a little bit of a tougher job. support even though i had a heart attack not that long ago, bernie sanders. but we are going to keep poking each other, because we are not far away in iowa. >> lawrence: but even though it was a petty fight, i think that there were a lot of things that were true. biden does have a lot of baggage. somebody in political office since he was 30 has a long track record. and he has flip-flopped on a lot of issues on the campaign trail to appease the progressive base. i do believe that bernie is

sincere in his belief system when there is an authenticity that he is talking about his issues. but joe biden will not only have the baggage, but the progressive base that will not show up in the general election. because it seems like the party is, and i believe that biden will be the nominee, because there is nobody -- after everything he has taken he has still been a front runner. a lot of people are going to show up because they feel like he is forcing it down their throat. >> marie: which of the democrats argue most worried about being the nominee? >> pete: i think it will be bernie sanders. >> marie: are you worried about him? >> pete: i'm not worried about him at all. i'm not worried about any of them. if they think joe biden is best to beat trump, what does that even mean? it is really bad old people trash talk. good luck, bernie, good luck in your senior year, bernie? what does that even mean? i mean, honestly. >> dana: that is a sick burn, you don't know that? >> pete: you look at

bernie sanders who is a lot of things, but not really humorous, and his attempt with joe biden to talk about your books? it seems like when you talk about old movie reels. he has three steps behind the democratic candidates, imagine where biden would be on a stage to debate to president trump, it is a joke. >> marie: he is pulling ahead against president trump and many of the states. >> pete: ahead of bernie too. but that does not say much about his candidacy. >> marie: how do you make sense of this? >> emily: in a different year, different election then what bernie said would be absolutely true, but i agree with you, basically. yes, he has baggage and is weak. he cannot galvanize populations, but this year it is all about the democrats beating trump, and so far that has been able to carry biden and nationally for some reason. but as you said interestingly, may be people are sick of that concept being rammed down their throats because we are seeing him falter in the realm of money and in the early state polling.
