they continue to be america's best friend in the region. >> so you mentioned soleimani's name, i want to raise that is not in iraq because i happen after it was published. >> is killing is not in the book but he is in the book. the last page of the last chapter is a description of a video animation put together by saudi outfit that shows saudi forces liberating from the regime in soleimani on his knees giving himself up to the saudis, they realized they have to give it up to the americans to do it. >> tell us, you wrote one or twu collaborated, you do not see the same thing but the two most thoughtful articles after soleimani's killing that i saw were one you wrote and i cannot remember where i saw it. it was in the atlantic where you describe what the u.s. needs to do now, you are no advocate of soleimani but you were saying if you leave it this way it'll be a problem and that you need a follow-up additional messages. what is the effect of soleimani's death on the calculus because they know he switch sides because he was leaving demonstrations to get iran out of iraq now he's leading

i shed no tears for ka qasem soleimani. this body has a constitutional prerogative to declare war, to make a decision about whether or not to send our sons and daughters into battlefields, and we have the responsibility to ensure that the executive is effectively deploying every diplomatic tool it will can before rushing recklessly into battle, particularly one without clearly defined outcomes or clarity of purpose. we must exercise our check over the executive, particularly when it comes to the life and death of americans. yet, this administration continues to test the strength of our systems of checks and balances. we saw it with this strike against soleimani. and then it played out several times last year regarding arm sales. this is not the first time the president faced a vote to override his veto. last year the house and senate made overwhelmingly clear that we had concerns about sales of certain weapons to saudi arabia following its disastrous campaign in yemen and the murder of khashoggi. congress will continue to a

real escalation by the iranians in iraq and the gulf that resulted to act on us forces with qassem soleimani and that strike in iraq. so what you are seeing consolidating and reprisals. you also saw the president reading we will seek the islamic revolutionary guard corps navy if they harass our ships in the gulf. fireman will continue to push when i think there is a chance for an escalation that would result in a reply one - - a reprisal may be iranian assets so to demonstrate with the qassem soleimani strike we know what the real return addresses. so the interest of time in the gulf in iraq a country in crisis with that backlash as well. so through the political crisis and the dissatisfaction with their government and then the prime minister is blocked by the iranians and then is a good leader and through the intelligence agency he is an effective leader. but he will be stuck with a difficult situation the iraqi budget is at least two times bigger this year and that's probably an understatement and then you have the covid-19 crisis as well as the subversion of the government. so now that's

we must maintain the measure of deterrence we restored with the decisive strike on soleimani. that starts today with upholding the president's rightful veto of a misguided war powers resolution. meanwhile an apparent repudiation of the trump administration's efforts to help end the civil war in afghanistan, taliban attacks against the country's government and its people have actually spiked. and isis, al qaeda, and other terrorists continue to operate from afghan territory. over in moscow, putin's regime continues to threaten american interests along with international security, from bullying incursions in these states that used to rule to influence peddling and mercenary adventurism and a power vacuum in syria and libya to spreading information and undermining democracies all across the globe. and russian intelligence is not alone in targeting america. china's efforts to steal government industry secrets are unmatched. countering these kinds of hostile activities is the key job of our intelligence community, so is stopping terrorist attacks against our homeland. so next week

but the thing about general soleimani, who was killed, is that he was the head of the quds force.s that it projected iranian military force all over the world, outside of their borders. mostly, in the middle east, but also in latin america, and in africa, and far afield and so we really think of him as this guy who created the ability for iran to wage asymmetric warfare all over the world and that's really the kind of retaliation retribution we've been expecting from iran but then yterday, the iranian leadership said, you know what, we plan to retaliate directly ourselves as the iranian military from iran because we don't need to hide this behind any proxy forces we want you to know it is coming from u and nobody quite kw what to make of that and now today we've got these reports that in fact iran has -- they say they have shot ballistic missiles at multiple u.s. military facilities in iraq and we've got a lot of u.s. military personnel in iraq -- about 5,000 people ther as well as a lot of other american troops all over the middle east. so if they have been able to fire either mi

forces since the january 3 killing of qassem soleimani, with the drone strike in iraq.hink what we are seeing is u.s. forces consolidating you can see militias inside of iraq pretty also saw just yesterday the president tweeting that we will sink islamic revolutionary guards corps navy vessels that harass our ships in the gulf. i think iran is going to push it and they're going to push it beyond the limits. i think there is a chance for an escalation that will result in a reprisal may be directly against iran or raining assets. i think the trump administration of the soleimani strike when their proxies attack us, we know what the real return addresses. i think it's a dangerous time in the gulf as a result. what were seeing in iraq which is a country in crisis is a backlash against iran as well. you have a political crisis associate with that iraqi people with the government. when he had to step down, the next prime minister was supposed to be able to form a government, he's really blocked by the iranians. now you have this guy coming in who's a good leader, he certainly

in january president trump ordered the killing of iranian commander qassem soleimani.days into the new year, we were bracing for the possibility of another war in the middle east. two prior presidents evaluated the risk of killing sole many and decided against it. congress exerted its constitutional authority. as you know, wars can only be declared by congress and unless the united states or americans are in immediate danger the white house must give congress notice of any military action it takes. neither of those criteria were met in january. the way in which the strike on qassem soleimani was conducted was another demonstration of trump's disregard for the constitution. the constitution ascribes a division of powers, a system of checks an balances. our entire governing process hinges on this very concept. no one branch of government outweighs another. the ability to declare war or authorize military action is explicit given to congress in the constitution, article 1 section 8 clause 1, quote, the congress shall have the power to provide for the common defense and ge

that escalation has 20 attacks on those forces since the january 3rd killing of soleimani with the drone strike in iraq. reprisals against iran published inside of iraq and yesterday the president tweeting we will sink iraqi islamic revolutionary guard corps, navy vessels that harass our ships into the gulf and iran is going to continue to push it, but there's a chance for an escalation that resulted in appropriate -- reprisal against iranian assets. and proxies attack us, we know what the real return address is so i think a dangerous time in the gulf, the country in crisis, a backlash against iran as well. the political crisis, a dissatisfaction with the government. the next prime minister, blocked by the iranian this. he is certainly not doing that. stuck with a very difficult situation. the iraqi budget is at least two times bigger than revenue. that is an understatement. the covid-19 crisis as well as the iranian immigration. in a worst crisis, trying to maintain the influence, the iraqi people will want that more and more. their fate is tied to an alternative to iranian influence, t

president trump killed soleimani the head of the garden around joe biden said it was a bad idea. when president trump stop travel into the united states from china he called president trump xena phobic. they lavish praise with the nuclear agreement. all i can say, is joe biden's a judgment it comes to being commander-in-chief, let's not go there. president trump's greatest accomplishment to me, greatest of all really, is restoring our position in the world. the domestic policies important but we've learned what happens when you take it out over there with 911 we saw how america was treated under the obama years. friends couldn't trust us anymore, enemies walks all over us. this was memorial day and we've had thousands of people about 6000 plus a die in iraq and afghanistan we lost 3000 americans almost an instant on 911. so foreign policies not talked about enough. i can tell you that tariffs are out there and there are people out there trying to hurt us every day of the ayatollah had a nuclear weapon i am convinced you use it against our friends in israel try to turn the israel

we saw the trump administration make that decision to take out that top iranian general, qassem soleimaniinning of january and the regional talk was could there be a war with iran. now we've seen coronavirus hit not only countries like israel, but also the iranians very hard so we're going to be watching to see how things develop in the days, weeks and mondays to come. eric. eric: even stopped the notes in the western wall, taking every precaution they can like others across the globe. trey yingst, also good to see you from jerusalem. thank you. and we will be right back. your work is essential. that's why kubota's 1,100 dealers are working to keep you working. call or email your kubota dealer about 0% financing. no payments for 90 days offer expires 5/31. together we do more. >> tech: don't wait for a chip like this to crack your whole windshield. with safelite's exclusive resin, you get a strong repair that you can trust. plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. >> customer: really?! >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ arthel: arizona teens celebrate

soleimani. we killed him.u think the elect will come down on a referendum on how you handled this crisis? president trump: i hope it does because we have done a great job. we had no ventilators or testing. i inherited empty -- no ammunition. our military was bad. we rebuilt our military. $1.5 trillion, the best military in the world. but you know what? medically, we had empty cupboards. we have an incredible testing. we have the best testing system right now in the world. we also make all the ventilators. i spent the weekend at camp david speaking to heads of other countries that are desperate for ventilators. a month ago that's all they were talking about was ventilators. the team of people that did this job, it was probably the biggest mobilization since world war ii. bret: you mentioned the democrats and leaving the cupboards bare from the previous administration. the former vice president joe biden tweeted we left a playbook, he ignored it. we left an office to prepare for a pandemic and he gut it. trump c

so to say the strike against qassem soleimani was a great thing nobody said that qassem soleimani but to justify that is a necessity the president says it was not to use of force against iran. is that it was justified by the constitution. and the iraq war of 2002. i haven't heard anyone assert that as a justification to kill the iranian leader. it was now the top of saddam hussein to use that as a resolutionn to attack members of the iranian government is a stretch. we live in a hostile world and the constitution recognizes the president must be able to anticipate the next moves to take swift and decisive action in congress should not have passed this resolution mr. president you cannot tell the article one branch how to do its job. we can't tell article to branch how to do its job. but the president to say it's insulting for congress to take up matters of war and peace and we should not have passed a resolution shows a misunderstanding. we are not article two. five, we don't play mother may i we have her own independent responsibilities we swear to uphold. sj 68 was a great example o
