laura: iran has vowed to avenge the death of general soleimani, hasn't it?an backed militias will continue to be a problem for the biden administration. >> yes. they will continue to be a problem. they have continued to be a problem now for many years. they have promised to avenge for the death of general soleimani but they have not succeeded in that. there have been plots that have been foiled. for example, they wanted to target the u.s. ambassador in south africa. that did not end up working out. there have been other things that they ended up foiling and not working out. they are going to remain to be a problem with their nefarious behavior in the region, supporting terrori, supporting proxies. th is obviously a problem when you have u.s. interests across the region, whether it is embassies or u.s. basis and such. that is why it is critical that president biden from the get-go -- he has only been in office for a month now -- that from the beginning he set the stage and say this is not activity we are going to ignore. this is something that if we see what

soleimani, our money is always heads and tails. it's always the benjamin. what you find when you look at the primitive money is this idea in english study of the personification which is giving human attributes to the nonhuman world. and much early money is premarket money. they can dance, they can sing, they have faces, they can get married. the gong money of vietnam. the sound of the gong as its voice. so obviously money talks. we think we are immune from those primitive ideas and why is there no harriet tubman 20-dollar bill? and they brought the sacajawea dollar but we did not circulated. were not going to circulate that. clearly monday is gender still has a meaning to us. when queen victoria died in the 19th century, many english merchants refused to accept coins with their face on because it was quote unquote dead money. >> fascinating. you are talking a little bit earlier in the book. then i want to get in to talk about the future of money looks like. the first half of the book, the second half you concentrate a little bit more on the future. so let'

regime, there has not been the kind of escalations that we saw in the run up to the killing of custom soleimaniattacks on other countries, attacks in the persian gulf, the pace of attacks on u.s. positions in iraq. certainly, the israelis have paid serious price for its long-standing campaign to go after iranian forces in syria, and they believe they are transferring advanced weaponry. it my view, a deal would be nice, but i do not think it is necessary. steve: i am hearing you say the status quo is working. am i getting that right? >> it depends on what you mean by working. it is true the iranians have increased the anti in terms of iranian enrichment. if they iranians are only interested in a deal that the stores that agreement, and a lot of its key provisions will be expiring by 2026 anyway, and they would still be allowed to test long-range risk -- long-range missiles. the deal says nothing about its various campaigns within the middle east, which are a threat to many u.s. allies. in that respect, sure, there are issues they can do. but i am saying is there are ways to setback the program s

even though trump bankrupted the iranian regime, took out soleimani and cut the middle east deal settingbalance of power so we could get out. biden wants to wreck it all and rejoin the iranian nuclear deal, burning our allies and sending the region back into the chaos we saw during the obama-biden years. this unhealthy obsession with trump and his supporters is hurting our women, our children, our jobs, our safety, what our allies. now that you know what motivates joe biden and the democrats, you will be able to predict the next move. the only principle they have is their principled opposition to you. joining me to react, president trump's son and president of the trump organization, donald trump, jr. it seems the only thing that divide the american public it hatred. that decision is driving everything in -- in washington and i think it's hurting the country. >> what's going on right now is insane in our country. we are destroying our jobs, bowing down to china. when i look at the upper echelons of law enforcement, the fbi, they are spending more time investigating lady gaga's missing do

things are sensitive because the iranian's promised retaliation for the assassination of general soleimani the likelihood that these are bad guys is fairly low but these homeland security people occupy the near war or have to rule that out. also it could be one or 2 of them are capitol gators for the military or some kind of administrative department in the government that might be useful in the united states. the near war is very active as well as many other special-interest undocumented services. the -- this happened in mexico and the americas, south america, central america. this is part of what i described as a layered defense where our people, especially hsi, occupies the top of the spear, they are deployed throughout latin america. i think the american public will be very surprised to know what they are doing. the variety of the countries, and and hsi hsi investigators are working through latin america, hunting them down, very often successful, but obviously, hsi and the brazilians took out an iranian human smuggling organization and obviously more iranian's at the border, something

couple of questions about recent high-profile assassinations with the iranian nuclear scientist and soleimaniast year. when you look at those incidents and from your knowledge now and even from probably some of your taking notes in the intelligence world what you think the intelligence is based on? is on the ground? what's the most effective thing today when you do these things? >> i'm going to say one thing with a great deal of caution and then explain the caution. i think that particularly in today's world technological espionage is incredibly important because we are so dependent on the technology and there's so many ways that it can be intercepted and there's so many places where you have an opening but i'm also going to say this. before i started writing i was a daily journalist and i would see reports of what intelligence officials and diplomats told journalists. for the first time i look at diplomatic papers that had been released 30 years after the event he compared it to would have been in the newspapers of the time i said wow this is upsetting to me as a daily journalist because we

supreme leader, the ayatollahs and potentially the leader of the cords was, the successor to general soleimanis the point of dialogue?— of dialogue? i would see the s stem of dialogue? i would see the system somewhat _ of dialogue? i would see the l system somewhat differently. for some issues, the supreme leader gives it to the president, and the president had a nuclearfolio, but during the war in syria it was given to the revolutionary guard. but i do not think the supreme leader wants rouhani's term two and with basically the iranians looking like they were taken advantage of, they made of these commitments, they did what they were supposed to do in the us walked out on them. and i do not think we would be at this point with rouhani and is a wreath saying they want to re—enter if they hadn't already gotten a green light from the supreme leader —— with zarif. there will be a presidential election in the summer and then we will see where we go from there. ., g . ., , ., ,, there. doctorjim walsh, thank ou ve there. doctorjim walsh, thank you very much- _ there. doctorjim walsh, thank you very

undermined by iran at this time and this is retaliation for the united states targeted -- the spymaster soleimani leader of all kinds of mayhem in the world on the behest of iran. so i see diplomatic impasse. if the united states gives an inch, iran will run with it and we are triggering a regional arms race because of iran's emboldened this. it is almost a material as to how the united states engages with iran unless we return to maximum pressure that was the policy of the previous administration. >> like nobody ever researched what appears want wasn't we have lots examples of how doesn't work yet it looks like we are doing it again. >> the former administration recognize the iranian threat well and we would do well to return to that position. shannon: will see where we go from here. the time is 19 minutes, 20 minutes after the hour, california democrat taking aim at small businesses already struggling through the pandemic. >> we don't want low-wage businesses, most successful businesses can pay a fair wage. todd: the owner of us all pizza shop says her business is not walmart or costco and shou

they attacked our embassy, killed an american and almost overran it in iraq yet trump took out soleimanithat stopped. deterrence was restored and that's the posture we need to stay in and finally, if we let up the gas here, if we let our foot off the gas they will march towards a bomb on a ballistic missile and that will proliferate across the entire middle east, and that's my biggest fear. >> jason: i'm afraid you're right and we're only days into this administration and they have already let up on the gas pedal. gentlemen, thank you both for your service to this country and thanks for joining us tonight on hannity. appreciate it. coming up, progressives are already unhappy with joe biden. we'll explain why. that and more as this special edition of hannity, failures of the left, continues. # ♪ ♪ learning is hard work. hard work requires character. learning begins in faith. it must move upwards toward the highest thing, unseen at the beginning - god. and freedom is essential to learning. its principles must be studied and defended. learning, character, faith, and freedom: these are the i

was it like that when trump took out soleimani? was that imminent?obama, biden, bush, clinton, they all did it this way. they had power that used to and is supposed to reside in congress. we're using an authorization for the use of military force from 2001 and 2002. they're almost two decades old. and they justify fighting terror. but we've had 41 million -- god fo forbid, 41 management operations in 19 countries. is it really all from terrorism that stemmed from 9/11? the threat that we attacked last night, iranian-backed militias in syria who bombed in baghdad, those people didn't even exist when the aumf was written. take a look, the reality is whomever is in the office, and whatever letter is by their name, "r" or "d," they're going to use the power they have unless congress gets in their way. and congress doesn't do that because they don't want to own a vote ever since they took the one to go to iraq on bad intel about yellowcake and they got hurt and they don't want to do that anymore. let's discuss with someone who understands the issue much b

took about chemical weapons in syria, when we talk about a red line we mentor strike to destroy soleimanie leading progenitor of iranian terrorism, the iranian's came to understand we were serious about protecting america. i'm counting on this administration to do the same thing. shannon: you mentioned china earlier. let's do a flashback minute now with president biden during the primary season and what he is saying now with respect to china. >> china is going to eat our lunch, come on, man. they eat our lunch. shannon: that is 180 degrees turn. to what do you attribute his change in position on the threat china is to america? >> i can't account for that kind of switch. absent an incredible amount of pressure and hard work by american foreign-policy leaders the chinese party will absolutely work to undermine america, undermine democracy, they will work to steal jobs from the united states, they will work to a few skate the fact that they were the primary progenitors of the fact this virus has killed hundreds of thousands of people across the world and destroyed millions of jobs and billio

couple questions about recent profiles really assassinations the iranian nuclear scientists , general soleimanian next year. when you look at those incidents, from your knowledge now and even from probably some notes in the intelligence worlds, or do you think that intelligences based on? is it on the ground, intercepts, what is the most effective thing today? >> one thing with a great deal of caution and then explain the caution. i think that particularly in today's world, technological espionage is incredibly important. because we are so dependent on the technology in there so many ways that it can be intercepted bird there so many places with carelessness can lead in opening also going to say this. before i started writing history, i was a daily journalist. and i would see reports of what intelligent officials and double nest told journalists. and the first time that i looked at diplomatic papers that had been released 30 years after the events and compared them to what you been newspapers of the time, i said wow, this is upsetting to me as a daily journalist. we have no clue what was going

i know in the soleimani case that occurred in iraq but it was a constitutional self-defense strike.case since they did hit our u.s. soldiers in both erbil in northern iraq and also got very close to our embassy in the green zone in iraq. both the shia proxies and shia militias are behind these attacks and i think that would be the strongest argument they could make. some of this going back to the original aumf from 2001 against al qaeda, you know, i think a lot of both republicans and democrats think maybe we ought to look at updating some of these uses of military force. >> yeah. let's remember there are now people who weren't born who are being asked to engage in force essentially through an authorization that, again, was created before they were born. one last question and i guess i'll call this the mcconnell question, since he was asked this last night. if donald trump is the nominee of the party in 2024, do you think you can support him? >> look, we're four years out and there's so much that's going to happen over the next four years. i'm going to support the nominee. that's wh

soleimani last -- terrorist last year soleimani, it specifically called for a deal that makes the world safer and more peacefully. he was calling for that at that time. we don't want war but we also don't want the flawed iran deal. that terrible deal isn't and never has been the only choice. but we'd absolutely consider supporting a good deal. and what would a good deal look like? and i want to highlight four main principles that we would look for. and this is something the president can do now. first, the deal has got to be comprehensive. that means addressing all of iran's bad behavior, its funding of terrorism, terrorist proxies, its ballistic missile program, its nuclear program, the things my democratic colleagues were worried about back in 2015. secondly, the deal has got to be inclusive of the views of israel and our arab partners, the obama administration side stepped their concerns and president biden should not do that the same now. we should have learned from that. third, the deal must be permanent. the 2015 deal allowed for a sunset provision that would ultimately allow iran

clear that when we drew a redline relented, whether it was the strike we took to destroy qassem soleimanid we were serious about protecting america. i'm counting on this the next demonstration to do the same thing. >> shannon: you mention china. let's do a little bit of a flashback. president biden during the primary and what he is saying that with respect to china. >> china is going to eat our lunch. come on, man. we don't get moving, they're going to eat our lunch. >> shannon: that is a 180-degree turn. to what do you attribute his change in position on the threat that china is to america? >> i can't account for that kind of switch. i can only tell you that absent an incredible amount of pressure and hard work by american foreign policy leaders, the chinese communist party will absolutely work to undermine america. to undermine our democracy. they will work to steal jobs from the united states. they will work to obfuscate the fact that they were the primary progenitors of the fact that this virus has now killed hundreds of thousands of people all across the world and destroyed millions

. >> almost took us to the edge of war, that action with kasim soleimani. it's problematic that thousands of americans took part in that thing and that people died. it is deeply, deeply offensive and worrisome that members of our military and members of our national guard and that image that i showed you of someone from the new york police department. we've heard of police officers and firefighters from various forces around the country. that is really problematic, malcolm. these are people sworn to protect us and to see that they're attacking both democracy and police officers is highly problematic. >> what youio see is the depth of the delusion created by president trump with his big lie ideology which is push out, that it was stolen and to actually anger his base to the point where they were ready to destroy democracy, and many of these people that have been swept up in this and the entire trump train lots of theme are extremists and a lot of them are military, and policemen, paramedics. we've identified and i know i was on a photo identification group,

are sensitive because the iranians have promised retaliation for the assassination of the general soleimani that's in the back of people's minds. the likelihood these are bad guys is probably fairly low, but these are people, homeland security people who occupy the near war have to at least rule that out. and also itself could be that maybe one or two of them are abdicators from the military or administrative department in the government there that might be useful to the united states. so, the near war is very active right now on these 11 iranians as well as many other special interest aliens or special interest undocumented noncitizens. the far war, this happens in mexico, and the america -- lastin america, south america, central america. this is a part of a -- what i describe as layered defense where our people, especially hsi, occupies the very tip of that spear. they are deployed throughout latin america. think the american public would be very surprised to know what they're doing down there. the units -- [loss of audio] -- variety of the countries, allied countries down there and they

is what we had prior to the killing that took place almost a year ago, of iranian general qassem soleimania killing that really threatened the stability of this country, as well as escalating this proxy warfare happening between the u.s. and iran to an entirely different level. so there is right now a certain degree of awareness among all parties that while they do have to continue sending these messages to each other, escalating right now may not be in any's best interests. >> arwa, thank you for explaining all of that and giving us that context. joining us right now is david sanger. a white house and national security correspondent for "the new york times." so david, what do these air strikes mean going forward relationship, for the iran nuclear deal, everything? >> alisyn, i think it's interesting that they did this in such a sort of narrow, proportionate way. and last night, lloyd austin, the defense secretary, told reporters that they actually allowed the iraqis to go out and conduct an investigation, so that they could sort of figure out how this attack happened and help. it the targ

year ago was the immediate catalyst for donald trump's order for an airstrike that killed qasem soleimaniut the u.s. and iran on the brink of open warfare. that is from the washington times. writing about that attack in the opinion pages of the wall street journal, they write this. the headline says "joe biden gets tested in iraq." "the world is watching how he responds to an attack on u.s. forces. iraqi forces launched rocket attacks on u.s. forces. their goal is to drive out the 2500 u.s. troops that assist the iraqi military, provide intelligence against the return of the islamic state, and limit malign iranian influence in the country. retaliatory strikes won't put a complete stop to such aggression, but the right retaliation can degrade the malicious abilities and action that invite more brazen attacks." in texarkana texas, good morning to james on the republican line. we lost james. we will go to sparta, illinois and hear from nancy on the democrats line. caller: hello. i was wondering, is joe biden going to build our military, and will he respond to this issue that is going on now?
