at the end of the day, it was trump's order to carry out the strike that killed soleimani. what is the military's response to leaving people who were simply following an order from a commander in chief exposed to threats not just of violence, but of an assassination from iran? >> i have to say there are a number of people who were involved in the soleimani strike who are still and have a very real active threat against them by from iran, who have not been touched by this. and, you know, just ethically, i don't think it's fair to name them here at this point. but but there are a number of people, a number of people who have not had their security pulled. and i don't really understand exactly what this is. i think that part of the reason that general milley was targeted here is the comments that he made that you highlighted at the top, nicole. but also remember, there are people who have come into this administration, including the secretary of defense and others who are very close to donald trump, still want there to be someone who is held accountable for the withdrawal from

gillibrand: i want to return to the soleimani strike. at the time you said what president trump did was illegal and would cause significant problems down the line. what is your position on that strike and will you be able to advise the president in future issues with regard to national security? ms. gabbard: those broader issues i relate -- those broader issues i raised with regard to war powers i have been consistent on. i did not have access to all of the information behind the strike and my concerns were that may be an escalatory action. president trump was right, there was no escalation beyond that, and his policies towards iran sen. gillibrand: do you agree with the president to going protection for those who are now being targeted in retaliation such as previous secretary pompeo? ms. gabbard: i can't answer that without looking at the intelligence assessment and threat assessment for that or other decisions. chair cotton: senator young. sen. young: we had a nice visit in the office. appreciate you being here take a test today. it w

i think he's pecking up where we left off with the soleimani strike.tting fear back in to the equation. i think a lot of people think because he says he's about not having wars or starting wars, he won't be, you know, used military action when it's appropriate. this case it was. i've seen, you know, the national security council agonize over these decisions and then what happens is these terrorists end up getting away. so it is good to see him actually making a quick decision to go after the threat. >> yes, sir. just want to correct real quick you're an air force figure general not army i think i read that so i don't to get yourself or me in trouble over that. i apologize. to both services -- but to move on with this, when we look at the africa theater a lot of people i say a lot of civilians don't know we're active there as a marine i know you fear to go to it is hot there and in north africa there's a lot going on there and a lot that our military and tell us about the threat in the afternoon theater. >> terrorists have tried to migrate there. one of

retribution against all of our officials, including mike pompeo for the assassination of qassem soleimanitalk about where tax dollars go. it's not about extinction expenditures. it's about stewardship. as we warn iran about the mite that the united states of america is, that includes a protection around our elected officials and are patriots who have saved american lives by tat those terrorist thugs and a terrorist, dictatorial state. to me, mr. president, i hope you reinstate the security detail among others. >> i am concerned about the economic stability this represent for the energy sectors. what finances a lot of their activity, over $140 billion during the past administration is through sales between iran and china. then you add rusher to it. it's beyond the middle east. it is them as commerce partners to fund a lot of this activity. hence the reason for maximum pressure. we are hearing about the tariffs. people are getting concerned. will oil prices go up. maybe but there's a bigger picture to look into. >> a new ad exposes the abuse, harassment, threats for female athletes who stoo

proxies who have threatened to retaliate against you and your team by killing you guys for taking out soleimani. >> well, they haven't done that. and that would be a terrible thing for them to do, not because of me. if they did that, they would be obliterated. that would be the end. i've left instructions. if they do it, they get obliterated. there won't be anything left and they shouldn't be able to do it. and biden should have said that. but he never did. >> the president also introduced tonight a proposal for the future of gaza. he said the palestinian population needs to be absorbed by other countries. gaza needs to be demilitarized, and he's offering to do the job and rebuild it into a beautiful, safe haven. take a look. >> the only reason the palestinians want to go back to gaza is they have no alternative. it's right now a demolition site. this is just a demolition site. virtually every building is down there living under fallen concrete. that's very dangerous and very precarious. they instead can occupy all of a beautiful area with homes and safety, and they can live out their lives in

[laughter] maria: that was so great. >> he loudly, it's the new philosophy of trump. i think that's his genius. he spooks them into submission. he's very capricious. i think that's an advantage when it comes to foreign policy. i want to say a nuclear iran is a very serious foreign policy challenge for this administration but unlike biden and unlike obama, trump recognizes that iran is one fourth of the new axis of evil powers and he's instituting a new sanctions regime and he's curtailing their oil exports because he recognizes that the appeasement plan of the last four years and then obama did not work. iran did not agree to or they didn't follow through a lot of the terms of the iran nuclear deal and so it's important to hit them w
