i mean, killing qassem soleimani, maybe he deserved to die, apparently he welcomed it.he wanted to be a martyr. so we gave him the opportunity to become a martyr. but i hope it doesn't turn into a bloodbath for everybody else. so just because you think somebody is bad does not mean you need to kill him. in a war, somebody facing with you weapons is something, and when you pick on a person, and you say this is an important leader for these people, i'm going to get rid of him. let's see. does that change iran's policy towards syria? i doubt that very much. you have to know whether you're fighting a war, then by all means put all your resources and go fight the war. or are you engaging in diplomacy to try to solve a problem? and therefore don't go picking on people because they can do the same thing to you. and if he comes -- his successors come after an american general of some sort, that they consider equivalent, what would happen then, do you think? that's a bad way to go. >> right over here, yeah. right here. this is going to be the last question. i want to have plenty

zero americans died going after qassem soleimani. aku bakr al-baghdadi dead.it is liberating the generals on the ground isys was on the rise and president trump took office in the destruction of isis is one of the most amazing accomplishments and he did it with minimal loss to american life but liberating the generals to go after america's enemies on the run which is incredible ending the war in afghanistan. we will see how that brokers out but we all agree 20 years for the spirit to endlessly occupy a country that does not want western values or excepting western values when we said $5 billion a year just to the afghan security forces with hundreds of thousands of kids and inner cities that can't read them i think our priorities are backwards and president trump recognizes that wants to reset our priorities for america. [applause] and then i want to summarize and get to questions. i wrote this for a sense of urgency because i don't know president trump will be elected. i think he should win in a landslide based on his successes but what i want you to dismiss

that is what has been their principal focus since the death of qassem soleimani.e boats we saw around the ships, that was a result of a united states navy conducting drills in the persian gulf, putting apache helicopters, army attack helicopters on aircraft carriers. why are we doing that? likely to strike iraq, iraq's proxies backed by iranians in the future or to respond to an attack on a ship to attack some of iranian's bases in the region. so this is what the principal focus has been strategically, get the united states out of iraq. they would see that as a major political victory. gillian: what about iran's nuclear program? you know, they haven't seized building -- ceased building their capabilitys in the last few months. maybe much of the world's strategic attention has been focused elsewhere, on combating other threats, but they're carrying on, are they not? >> yes, they are. they have increased their enriched uranium in violation of the so-called jcpoa or nuclear deal, they increased the number of advanced centrifuges in violation of that which brings them

ever tax cut in american history, lowest unemployment for minorities come energy independence, qassem soleimani dead golan heights recognized the iran deal is canceled out of the paris climate accord put the enemies on defense and produce our own oil and shale. that's not an accident. you don't stumble into that because every other would have a track record of success. and what of these people been doing the last 20 years so that's what i went to go out to write the book so i did talk to the president but also i went to rally after rally of people that would wait hundreds of hours just for a chance to see the president of the united states speak for 30 minutes. and they spent 200 hours through tsunami like conditions and then in minnesota where they waited outside negative 10-degree weather. i'm sure you all appreciate this. that is not normal. so there is no comedian. sometimes there is. but he is so much funnier than the late-night comedians. and with the late-night comedy shows that are applauding but they are not laughing because they are not funny. it is 11:00 o'clock political talk show.

convinced that the strike that set off this latest crisis, the assassination of iranian general qassem soleimanian unconstitutional act of war. trump and his team have tried to justify the strike by claiming soleimani posed a, quote, "imminent threat." but watch how cagey secretary of state mike pompeo has been about it >> president trump says that general soleimani was planning a, quote, "imminent attack." what was the plan? who were the targets and how soon >> there's things we simply cannot make public about what it is we knew at that time and what, in fact, we know today about the continuing activity. >> so was the justification in that he's been this destabilizing force in the region for so long or was the justification this "imminent threat"? >> chuck, it's never one thing >> when you say the attacks were imminent, how imminent were they are we talking about days? are we talking about weeks >> if you're an american in the region, days and weeks, this is not something that's relevant. >> if you're looking for imminence, you needn't look no further than the days that led up to the strike tha
