jenna: what's next?ext is, well, i'm sure that the call of chairman smith today for special counsel, investigator, in this area is going to be where -- that'so be where that's going to go. it may slow up at that point our getting some information, because they may want to have a legal reason for protecting the attorney general. but we're going to continue our investigation, and whatever the special counsel does in this area isn't going to stop me from continuing to ask all the questions i'm asking. jenna: do you expect more resignation, sir? we have 30 seconds. >> well, i -- what i'm hoping here is that we're going to find out who authorized this and we're going to get them fired and secondly, that no stupid program like this is going to happen in the future. jenna: we extend our invitation once again to the justice department to come on our show as well to express what they would like to express about this story. in the meantime, senator grassley, we appreciate your time today and we'll continue to foll

>> hey, jenna.of this continued but it was at a peak in the late 1980s and 1990s and it is now again. in part for two reasons. in the late 1980s you had the rise of the radical religious leaders and they saw terrorism abroad as a cheap way of furthering foreign policy goals and distracting people from things that were going on at home, much like they want to today. but then also we have this increase today in sanctions, in defections of their intelligence people from the irgc and the quds force. and also the assassinations of some of the scientists involved in their nuclear program. you put all these things together and i think they certainly see some type of shadow war like we had say in the 1990s. jenna: how would you define shadow war, matt, by the way? >> this is not all-out military confrontation but we are using all elements of national power. economic sanctions, diplomatic tools and covert activities if any of the issues being listed being done by us or allies to target iran. jenna: are we wi
