tv Outnumbered FOX News January 8, 2020 9:00am-10:00am PST
9:00 am
you see that spike in the green. that's when the markets took off. >> that is it for us. "outnumbered" starts right now. we begin today with a fox news alert. president trump has addressed the nation. it happened moments ago after iran acted on its threat to retaliate for the killing of its top military commander. firing more than a dozen missiles at american forces in iraq. the president while saying that iran appears to be standing down from a further military confrontation says he will never allow iran to have nuclear weapons under his watch. more sanctions will be imposed. watch. >> as we continue to evaluate options in response to iranian aggression, the united states will immediately impose additional punishing economic
9:01 am
sanctions on the iranian regime. these powerful sanctions will remain until iran changes it's behavior. iran's supreme leader is calling the strike a slap in the face. military action like this is not sufficient. what is more important is ending the corrupting presence of america in the region, end quote. you are watching "outnumbered." laura logan is here first time. i'm harris falk mer. former deputy national security advisor, caitlyn macfarlane and k.t., good to see you. in the center seat, host of the guy benson show on fox news radio. fox news contributor as well, our guy, guy benson. welcome. first of all, before we open it up to the couch, i want to go
9:02 am
straight to trey on the ground in baghdad. watch the developments today. trey? >> harris, a lot of new developments this afternoon. hearing from the president this morning, though, a major change for what is going to happen on the ground and a lot of new questions about how the iraqis are going to respond. remember, earlier this week, iraqi prime minister said he supported the iraqi parliament's decision to order u.s. troops to leave iraq. there are more than 5,000 forces helping in the fight against isis. what we saw from the president earlier, let's not understate what we saw. this is a historic moment for the trump administration, a major development reminding me of a robert frost poem. the president had two roads to decide from. he chose a road of deescalation. he could have responded as he noting earlier in the week. he is giving the iranian regime an olive branch to try to
9:03 am
deescalate the decision. the supreme leader, have vows continued pressure if the economic pressures continue. the 15 missiles fired into iraqi territory, the president has decided to implement more economic sanctions. the big question is, how iran will respond. i want you to take a listen to some sound we have from iran's defense minister today about what his take on this entire situation was. >> last time, other missiles, short-range missiles were used. for the first time, since world war ii, an important american. >> reporter: the iranian-backed iraqi shia militias are
9:04 am
operating across iraq. this is an important fact. earlier this week in the green zone there were five rockets that landed near the u.s. embassy. if any of these iranian-backed proxies decide to launch attacks on their own or with the support of the iranian regime, even if the supreme leader doesn't want to take credit, it could unravel any peace efforts being put forth by the trump administration. the days to come will be key to watch as you have a number of keys in the air. what is the administration going to do about its relationship with the iraqi prime minister and the government here in baghdad. how will the president respond if any of the iranian proxies do decide to launch attacks of their own. >> thank you very much. let's bring it out to the coach. laura, you and i were getting more acquainted at this moment. he said iran-backed shia militia, something you have experienced. talk to you. >> iran's shiite militia have
9:05 am
been very active inside iran for a very long time. it is part of the national conversation now that iran killed all these american soldiers in iraq. at the time, the bush administration was not talking a lot about that. in fact, when general caldwell had a press conference to talk about iran's emboldenment on the battlefield, he was saying, where is the proof? you lied about going into the war. you must be lying now. no one has asked the question, why was iran killing american soldiers in iraq? the u.s. wasn't carrying out cross-military border against american targets. why was iran involved. we have forgotten that there was a bomb introduced on the iraqi battlefield, the efp which turned a copper cylinder, sliced through metal and armor and american soldiers, cut off their
9:06 am
heads and the gunner's body in half from one soldier and the windows with pieces of american soldiers and their blood. the iranians designed that weapon. they engineered it. they produced it and proliferated it on the iraqi battlefield. why? >> harris: k.t., the question of why and diplomatically, we are going to need to answer that. why? >> remember who soleimani was. he was the man that set up all of the militias. they never wanted to have to take the blame or credit for having gone to war in iraq, in syria, in lebanon and yemen. they wanted to have plausible deny ability, which is one of the most significant things that happened yesterday. the ayatollah sent those missiles from iranian territory.
9:07 am
it was very clear he, himself, made the decision. >> harris: and was said to be present? >> present and he said, i own this. this is my response for the killing of soleimani and the fact it was such a minimal response and no americans died is extraordinary. if it's true, what the foreign minister said yesterday, we are done. we have done our retaliation. if that's the case, trump has an opportunity that no president has had really for 50 years. >> to offer an offering to iran, the opportunity. >> the offering to iran. >> for a couple of reasons. we don't need enter oil anymore. if iran threatens to shut down the persian gulf or the strait of hormuz, they do themselves far more harm than us. >> harris: that was the biggest point, the salient feature of the president's speech. it was his middle east doctrine. if you listen to it, he said,
9:08 am
look, americans are doing great. we are energy independent. this is something we thought could never happen. i, myself, was in the middle east. i was in saudi arabia during our last huge spike. people were saying it was peak oil. we were running out of oil. we did believe that the middle east had control over the world, our economies. they do not now because of the shale revolution and all of the oil production in the u.s. he said, look, this is not our problem any longer. we have been accused of being in the middle east for oil for so long. we don't need that oil. i am calling on nato to get involved and get here in the middle east and find a peace solution. this is not for us. that answers that question of people who are saying, are we getting into another war that's going to last forever? he said today quite the opposite. i'm ending this conversation. iran, you need to end your actions. i'm not going to let a nuclear weapon happen. i'm also not going to be the police of the middle east.
9:09 am
>> that folds in with this letter that either happened on purpose or didn't happen on purpose, depending on who's reporting it, i suppose, about we might be pulling troops out of iran. what could be part of a negotiation if you will? >> i think we are a ways off from that. it seemed like the letter sending and rescinding was a bit of a cluster to use a technical term. that was an unfortunate blip in what has been two or three very significant days of victory for the united states. i agree completely with what k.t. said about this being a victory for the country and the trump administration. this president surprised the regime in a way they were totally unprepared for. this was a climb-down. it looked like an escalation. the fact there were no u.s. casualties is enormous. the president was taking the "w" if you will today. one caveat. i don't think this is the end of
9:10 am
what iran has planned. it is never going to be the end. they have been at war on and off with us for 40 years. they have a very long memory. there are going to be reprisals down the road. as far as this hot moment is concerned, if this is the off ramp it appears to be, that's a great deal. >> it is interesting what they think they can get away with. >> they are not going to sabotage what they think is a good deal. two weeks from now, iran is going to go back to the same stressed condition it was. 70% inflation. >> it won't take two weeks. >> exactly. >> 70% inflation, probably 40% unemployment. their people, 80 million people are struggling to survive. just two weeks ago, there were hundreds of thousands of people across the country protesting the regime. those people are going to be back. >> there is no coverage of that in the west here. >> 47% inflation for the people on the ground. i want to talk to you, lara, about what is happening on the
9:11 am
ground in iran and how in the past it seemed significant. you have the green revolution. you have people talking. now, you are seeing a media blitz from all the heads of state and you are not hearing as much from the people. what should we know about them? >> we rarely hear from the iranian people, right? their regime keeps such tight control over who gets access to iran and what the people can do. perhaps one of the most significant things that we have left out of this conversation sass a nation since in happened is what happened to the green movement. those people were murdered. they were murdered and imprisoned. >> they killed 1500 people. >> exactly. that's nothing in iran. you imagine that's the context in which you are viewing the funeral, right? i think of all the literally tens of thousands of funerals that soleimani left in his wake. that's what's distinct about their regime and why this
9:12 am
administration designated them as a foreign terrorist organization. they have institutionalized it in their operations and he was one of the architects. >> does that go away now that he is gone? >> there were already indications they have blown through the money they got from the obama administration in the iran nuclear deal. they have started cutting back some of the funding for the quds forces around the region. i don't think they have the money to trin to do this. >> the infusion of youth they are seeing, how much is that making an influence on the ground? >> it is very difficult to say. we are not there to assess these things. the regime is so brutal. they stop at nothing to suppress their own people. >> do most contacts indicate it is potentially going to change with that much youth and energy? >> what's extraordinary is that there are young people, not just young people but other people in iran willing to stand up in the
9:13 am
face of what they know the consequences could be. >> the other thing to remember is 75% of the population is under 75. they are very tech savvy and a lot of them are unemployed. >> that's kind of what i'm looking at. so then is the opportunity that melissa was talking about with the pressure points on the economy, does that grow even more because of those circumstances on the ground. we'll continue the showdown with iran, raising big questions about america's future in the middle east as iran's president is vowing to kick out all u.s. troops from the region. what this will mean for our influence there and the war on terror. every american wants their dollars to work as hard as they do. however, since 2000, the buying power of the dollar has dropped by over 31% - that means the dollar is only worth about 68¢ now compared to 2000. had you owned gold, your value would have increased over 400%

9:18 am
president trump addressing the nation as iran's president, hassan rouhani, is now calling for the removal of u.s. troops from the middle east. iran's president tweeting, general soleimani fought. our final answer to his assassination will be to kick all u.s. forces out of the region. all this on the heels of iraq's parliament voting to expel u.s. troops from the country and the pentagon announcing they have stopped training forces to fight against isis, as if shifts to protect military basis. before i come to you, i want to add this. what is the strategy going forward in iraq and with iran? president trump calling on the rest of the community to come in and help make a deal with iran once and for all. here is what he had to say in
9:19 am
that address to the nation. >> the time has come for the united kingdom, germany, france, russia, and china to recognize this reality. they must now break away from the remnants of the iran deal or jcpoa. we must all work together toward making a deal with iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place. >> this is a golden opportunity. what can be achieved? >> oh, i think he will have a deal of some sort with iran before the election. >> really? >> before the election. here is how you are seeing the world if you are the ayatollah. he is in his 80s, dying of cancer. he has no clear successor. soleimani who had his hands all over the foreign policy, and his number two guy, they are not
9:20 am
going to make that up quickly. their economy is collapsing. what are their options? i think they have to find a deal. they have their national pride back. they have had enter attack. the foreign minister said, that's it. i think there is an opportunity for trump to do what trump wanted to do from the beginning, get our focus away from the middle east and put it to asia where it belongs. >> can i double down a second, k.t.? your background was to help the current administration when you were there to come up with a maximum pressure campaign. how is it working out? is this how it was designed? what should we be looking for in all of this? >> i any the thing trump understood that nobody else did was economic warfare is the way of the future. by fixing the american economy, that was his first step. remember, the regulatory reform, the tax cuts, the encouraging of the energy revolution. that gave him leverage all across the world but
9:21 am
particularly in the middle east with having a second part of his strategy, which is we are going to focus on what matters, china, the south china sea, asia. as trump says himself, phase two, we are going to get a deal with iran. i think as part of this administration, all these countries are going to look at this and say, wait a minute, the democrats are telling us trump is on the way out the door. he will never be reelected. maybe we will have to deal with trump term two. >> as we talk about trying to make a deal, they want u.s. troops out of the middle east. it sounds like president trump does as well. you have everybody kind of looking at the same thing. what do you think? >> it's complex for sure. it's important to know the vote in the iraqi parliament was non-binding. a lot of members boycotted that vote and mostly shia members were there. the sunnis and kurds weren't
9:22 am
participating. on the question of the deal, i have a question for k.t. to push back a little bit. if you are the iranians, you have to think about the calculus of if we strike a deal with president trump that could embolden him here at home. it would be a huge diplomatic win on the national security front. could that increase his chances of winning re-election, which you would imagine iran doesn't want? could they wait out president trump and hope that he loses and see if a democrat who might have a weaker iran policy comes in? they can go back to the obama era status quo. >> that's a calculation they have got to make. nobody said this diplomacy business wasn't without risk. iran and the persians invented the game of chess. they are really good at it. they are good at looking ahead. they are going to game it and decide, can i maybe get a john kerry next time around as secretary of state or somebody tough? i think they are going to make a deal. i think they are going to make a deal on our terms but not necessarily a complete deal. >> lara, your take?
9:23 am
>> i would agree with k.t. that one of the most significant things about this is that iran has claimed it and they have owned it and the ayatollah has put his face on it. i'm a big fan of never underestimating anybody. the iranians are the masters of this game. they really are. they have the ability to back every horse in the race. they are not held accountable to the same kind of standards that the u.s. expects of its leaders. for example, let's not forget that al qaeda members, bin la n laden, they traveled through iran. that's where his son is. on one hand, isis was their enemy. on the other hand, they helped fight them and assisted them. the enemy of my enemy is my friend. they played their proxies against each other. to me, i would be stunned if this was the end of iran's escalation. what i would expect from iran is that they will move into a more clandestined response now. they will take to twitter or take their time.
9:24 am
they will get revenge. when you live with persians and you are with them every day, what you learn about them is they never forget. their memories go back to the beginning of time. they never forget and they never forgive. also, what they do, what they say in public, the show of force, saving face is very significant. it binds them to absolutely nothing in that culture. it does not mean the same thing to iranians as it does to us. one important thing to remember as the dynamics have changed, k.t., you made this point, as the price of oil spikes, if there are problems, it helps the u.s. because we are producers and it hurts china. keep that in the back of your mind. minutes from now, secretary of state, mike pompeo, and other top officials will begin briefing the full congress on the situation with iran. the answers lawmakers are demanding. attention veterans. with the newday va streamline refi, you can refinance at near record low rates with no income verification, no appraisal and nothing out of pocket.

take you to uncontrollable highs. (muffled arguing) or, make you feel both at once. overwhelmed by bipolar i symptoms? ask about vraylar. some medications only treat the lows or the highs. vraylar effectively treats depression, acute manic and mixed episodes of bipolar i. full-spectrum relief of all symptoms. with just one pill, once a day. elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, which may mean a life-threatening reaction, or uncontrollable muscle movements, may be permanent. side effects may not appear for several weeks. metabolic changes may occur. movement dysfunction, restlessness, sleepiness, stomach issues are common side effects. when bipolar i overwhelms, vraylar helps smooth the ups and downs.
9:29 am
this is a busy, news-making afternoon. the full congress is set to receive classified briefing in the next coming couple of hours, and it will all be on iran. they will cover the air strike that killed general qassem soleimani and tehran's missile strikes on two iraqi bases that house american troops. mike emanuel live on the hill where it is all happening. >> reporter: good afternoon, harris. lawmakers seeking answers should get them this afternoon. in terms of the briefers, mike pompeo, defense secretary, mark esper, c.i.a. director, gina haskell and chairman of the joint chiefs are all expected to participate. they are going to give members of the house and senate an explanation of why the call was made to go ahead with the drone strike. they are going to unite behind the president and chief. >> the president made it very
9:30 am
clear if you kill an american -- i think all of congress should speak with one voice. >> reporter: nancy pelosi said in the aftermath of the drone strike, the house would vote on a war powers resolution and reassert congress' long established oversight responsibilities by mandating if no further congressional action is taken, the administration's military hostilities with regard to iran cease within 30 days. that appears to be on hold for now. >> it is an on going discussion as to the appropriate timing. we hope to move forward with something sooner rather than later but there is no time frame as i understand it in terms of it absolutely taking place over the next day or two. >> it is worth noting there was immediate outreach to speaker, nancy pelosi, by vice-president mike pence during the missile strike. there was some frustration by leading congressional members that there was not outreach ahead of the drone strike.
9:31 am
>> mike emanuel, thank you very much. you set us up perfectly to segue into something we have been talking about during the commercial, lara. let's bring it forth. you are looking for specific information today, maybe just a little bit that would come out with whether or not there really was an iminent threat. >> that would make a big difference. one particular leader, especially on the democratic side after another, leapt forward to dismiss that entirely. i think american people would really like to know if there was specific intelligence. isn't it ironic how whenever a big attack happens the first thing we do is say why didn't they stop it and point fingers. in the media, we are brilliant about that. if this was a case where they
9:32 am
did prevent an imminent attack, surely what you should be doing is saying, good job for stopping that. finally, our intelligence and systems worked. >> harris: k.t., what's so interesting about that, that's so separate, lara, than the conversation of the powers act and do you need to be there and so forth. it is the basic understanding of keeping us protected. what does the american public need to be told? do they need to be declassifying? you have a whole family that has served. how deep do we need to know? >> look, when president trump did his first military action, which was bombing the air fields that the syrians used to put ray chemical weapons attack on the women and children, i was part of that and part of the planning of that in "the situation room" with the president. we weren't quite sure who to inform. it was sort of new to us. we informed everybody but we waited until the missiles were in the air. you really worry about operational security. if anything were to go wrong.
9:33 am
i think trump did the right thing and informed the right person at the same time. as far as the american people, i think we are passed that now. it seems like 100 years ago almost. we are now to the point where the iranians have retaliated. they have responded and there wasn't much there. the justification for what did we do and why, i think we are passed that. >> guy, you have heard some people, what are the justifications. mike mccaul told me he was, in fact, briefed and knew some details. you have heard as lara pointed out democrats says there wasn't anything to know because there wasn't imminent threat. >> it is a bit ironic to see the parties switching their stances on the reliability of the intelligence community. they had different positions back in the bush years. the last couple of years, the right has been saying much of it. it is the deep state. they can't be trusted. they are against trump.
9:34 am
now, the white house is saying we must trust our intelligence community. the democrats have been saying, these are sacro-saint american heroes. >> that's sort of a false narrative too. that's the argument. the reality is that there is evidence that law enforcement elements within the intelligence agencies, they were doing things they weren't supposed to be doing. it is fair to say that we can't trust that. there were dissenting voices like mike rogers with the whole russian interference with the election. >> some of the broad brush characterizations of the intelligence community as a whole have been unfair on both side. the parties for their political reasons seem to be switching. >> one more thing, if i may, that is certainly true and hasn't changed. it is healthy to be arguing about the war powers act. this is not new. we have been arguing since the dawn of time of who has the power. for our government to argue over
9:35 am
who has the power to take us into war. it is important that we argue that and go back and forth. it is not new to this administration. >> one thing i would say, though, that is very, very different. under the last administration, president obama assassinated two american citizens who were considered terrorists. that is a completely different level of authority. there is, actually, a legal process, other actions you are supposed to take, legally, for assassination. there was silence. there was silence. nobody said a word about it. here you have someone who is potentially involved in an imminent terrorist attack who has killed over 600 americans, who is responsible for killing people all across the region and you are having an argument about whether the law was broken. what law was broken? what law was broken? what is the name of that law? what does that law say? where are the generals pushing back on the people who are saying the president broke the law? definitive statement. they aren't leaving any room for
9:36 am
doubt. >> that's a great question. >> are you as a congressional elected official, are you lying? is that true or not? >> i found a journalist who is asking, you. we need to get them here on the couch to depose them. the travel and energy industry is keeping a very close eye on the situation with iran. the precautions that are already being taken and how they could affect our wallet.
9:39 am
9:40 am
a growing regional fallout from the standoff with iran, "the wall street journal" is reporting they have suspended cropping in the strait of hormuz. president trump saying america can take care of its own energy needs. >> we are now the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. we are independent and we do not
9:41 am
need middle east oil. >> the situation prompting them to cancel flights in iran and iran and the faa ordering american flights to avoid that air space, longer routes that could lead to higher ticket prices. guy, i'll come to you. so this is fascinating. i've been out on an aircraft carrier in the strait of hormuz and seen the iranian boats come by and they buzz. this is now not going to be so much our problem. at you see, we are not there dependant on that oil. now, we are talking about everybody else trying to get through there and airlines. who comes in and has to police all of this. >> i think the crucial point you made in the very first segment of the show is the change in leverage when it comes to the issue of oil from the u.s. perspective. i think i had a caller yesterday on my radio show talking about blood for oil and fake
9:42 am
intelligence, because we want to profit. we need their oil. these talking points have sort of expired or at least they are mitigated and really diminished now. >> it is upside down. they might benefit. just opposite. >> i feel like that calculus, that leverage has shifted so much for us. there are still major actors, including allies and adversaries of ours who are very dependant on middle east oil. i think that's why president trump broadened out part of the conversation today. lara, you made the point about strategically mentioning a few countries by name saying, may, guys, you have a lot of skin in this game. you need to follow our lead. >> in terms of what our allies have expected that we have delivered, who fills that voice if we begin to pull back? >> the russians would love to fill it. the chinese will want in on the game. >> you know who was hanging out
9:43 am
in syria while this whole thing was unfolding. >> it is a really good question. i look at the middle east and think in america the default position is peace. we go to war. we have a war. somebody wins, somebody loses. we finish, have a peace agreement and go back to our lives. the middle east has been fighting for 4000 years. it has been an ethnosectarian drama. they have been killing each other for millen ya. the peace is when they have paused, regroup and fight again. >> i want to bring in this point we are just getting right now. this is the easfa recommending european airlines avoid iraqi air space. lara, as this is your main safety regulator there, it is like our faa saying avoid this air space. you made a great point earlier. as we are talking about air traffic disruption, disruption through the strait of hormuz, this is a big problem for all of those europeans who are part of
9:44 am
the jcpoa who now have to go in and try to figure out how are we going to deal with this going forward? this is disrupting our oil and air traffic. what are your thoughts? >> the u.s. is going to get a lot of pressure from its allies. for example, when the iranians were ratcheting up their attacks on saudi oil infrastructure, this caused ripple effects through the oil industry. there were a lot of people who were very concerned about what was this going to do to saudi arabia's capacity and how was this going to affect the oil supply worldwide and mostly our ally's access to oil. we don't pay a lot of attention to these things when they happen. they are very, very, very significant. iran has been ratcheting up its actions significantly for a long period of time. so all of our allies are going to be wanting to be part of this conversation now. this is very consistent. trump's statement today is very consistent with what he has said
9:45 am
from the very beginning about nato, right? all of these institutions. we are not going to be carrying all of this. what are you going to do? germany, are you stepping up? the u.k., are you stepping up? >> and the defense, why should we spend american blood and treasure to defend you and your interest? >> it's fascinating, what you just said, speaks to the leverage we have been talking about this entire hour. they are putting pressure on us to do more in the strait of hormuz or wherever it is. that gives us tremendous leverage. >> we want something for it. >> not only is the energy a game-changer. energy and oil moves through with the u.s. dollar. we control the world banking system through that. that's why our sanctions have been so effective. you want to buy or sell oil. you have to do it through oil or banks. when you say you can't use the u.s., that's it. >> president trump addressing the nation today saying as long
9:46 am
as he is president, iran will never have a nuclear weapon. >> how will the escalation with tehran impact president trump's possible impeachment trial in the senate? to near 50-year lows. es hd newday usa can help you refinance your mortgage and save thousands a year. i urge you to call newday usa now. >> man: what's my my truck...is my livelihood. so when my windshield cracked... the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me. >> tech: hi, i'm adrian. >> man: thanks for coming. ...with service i could trust. right, girl? >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ most people think as a reliable phone company. but to businesses, we're a reliable partner. we keep companies ready for what's next.
