The United States military executed a flawless strike that terminate the terrorist ring leader, responsible for gravely wounding and murdering thousands and thousands of people. And hundreds and hundreds at least of americans. Suleimani has been killed, and bloody rampage is now forever gone. The commander in chief, obviously, taking decisive and bold action to end thuggish reign of suleimani as leader suleimani had a lot of american blood on his hands responsible for killing more than 600 of our lltroops in the iraq war. Some put the estimates muchst higher than that. Suleimani the chief exporter of irans states sponsored terrorism butir because of President Trump, and our unrivaled military, the suleimani legend is ended, he got what he deserved. The president last night directing an air strike in baghdadst to kill suleimani just days after an attack on the u. S. Embassy in baghdad by iranian back militiamen who were operating on the orders of suleimani. Court President Trump, the iranian general was plotting what is termed eminent and sinister of terrorist attacks. But was caught in the act and he was terminated. American lives were in jeopardy and president moved quickly decisively to protect this country. The message couldnt be cleerper. President trump means business and no one should mess with the idea of america or americans. For more tonight we turn to White House Correspondent kevin corke. We took action last i thought new to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war. As costic as it was cautionary target americans and youll pay ultimate price. Under my leadership americas policy is unambiguous to terrorist who harm or intend to harmro any american. Hwe will find you. We will eliminate you. The president also signaled a willingness to make a deal with with iran. Tweeting iran is never won a war but never lost an negotiation. Earlier in the day on twitter he accused iranian terrorist of killing or badly wounding thousands of americans, and said he was plottingts to kill many more but got caught. The aftermath mourned and celebrated by the iraqiss. Dancing in the streets for freedoms we secretary of state mike pompeo. White house Officials Say they are aware that the resulting fallout from the demise of general suleimani could include terror plots that were already underway across the globe. However, they insist his demise was long overdue and much, much needed. Lou. Uc kevin corke reporting are from the white house. Joining us tonight White House Press secretary stephany good to have you with us and president is to be congratulated, the administration in the National Security team in particular for taking out a man who was responsible for hundreds and hundreds of american lives being lost in iraq, and the spread of state sponsored terrorism from iran. Your thoughts tonight the mood the white house, and within the administration. Inch well certainly its a great day forly our country because, because of the president s decisive actions thousands more american lives and other lives will be saved. You know, this man is terrorist was brute. And not only responsible for hundreds of death of americans but thousands of horrible injuries to american it is in others, and he wasnt going start, stop targeting americans. So thats something to think about. The president you know he knew there was eminent danger we had good intel that there was eminent danger and americanss were going to be killed so he took the bold and oftentimes hard action that he had to as president know a that he was going to save lives, and save lives then and in the future too. And to hear the democrats or at least many of them tell it, there was a inposition on a stable world in the middle east that only President Trump seems to be able to affect. I mean, it is outrageous what ive heard today and in the course of the morning earlier from the democratic leadership. Its as if theyre completely inhinged. They are. I continue to be so disa pointed by in thes it is not good enough. , the can democrats should be happy along with rest of this country that american lives were saved, and instead theyre complaining that they werent notified. You know, time is of the essence when things like this are going down and president has Constitutional Authority to protect americans when theyre also i would say that schumer complaining he was not briefedded and complaining that it wasnt good enough and he still had questions. They just continue to hack this president im sorry, yes. I think Chuck Schumer born complaining i wouldnt expect any quick change in his behavior. It is also about, i think, a good case could be built it would be utterly irrational of the Trump Administration to to brief the very people who were trying to unseat him remove him from power to overthrow his presidency. And to have done everything in their power to do so. I mean i just cant understand why a neutral voice in this say in the National Media isnt saying what are the democrats talking about . And why would they expect anything other than to be found untrustworthy by the president of the United States . Well im going to say because theres no neutral voice in the media right now. You know the Washington Post talk ad about suleimani as the most revived military leader. Again what were getting into you know he was a terrorist. He was a murderer, and weve ive been watching cable news today like they were hoping for retaliation. You knowew theyre like scaring the American Public for ratings. I dont understand why again, the mediat and a democrats aret happy along with the rest of this country that our president took the bold action to kill a murderer. We should all be very proud today and should all be happy that american lives were saved. No question about it. And as lets turn to a different subject here tonight as were going to continue to cover this throughout this hour. Without question but the impeachment process senator Mitch Mcconnell standing up i thought tall and bold saying that nancy pelosi her time of the stage a of impeachment is ended. Yeah. Absolutely he did a really great job laying out the case of, you know, the process thus far how unfair it was, and to be with you lou after events of the last hours thing impeachment stuff things allee more silly and pa thet nick time this impeachment, you know, scam has been going on the president has killed two terrorists in this world, and again saved thousands of live. So the impeachment scam it will continue it is really unfortunate. We have, you know, we think that shell turn the articles over. We expect that there will be a trial in the senate. We know that the president will be acquitted because he did absolutely nothing wrong and they keepab talking about new evidence from New York Times story. Their emails that i say president wanted the aid to be withheld. Hes admitted that himself he wanted to be withheld to make sure there was no corruption. So theres nothing there and again, sadly in the last 24 hours there are a lot bigger things happening in this world it continues. All right. Its sad that also outrageous, and its about time i believe thatat the Republican Party just simply draw the the line and say, until the Democratic Party begins to act like the loyal opposition instead of a a on decisional force that every quarter trying to remove a president that they can expect that to be brief and not a lot of other thing had as well. I couldnt agree with you more you have my vote there. Stephany thanks forking being swith us again congratulations from a grateful nation as two that stephany mentioned a leader of the isis terrorist and of course suleimani the leader of the quds force, quds force two extraordinary trust leaders now destroyed as enemies of the United States and indeed the civilized world. Up next, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell taking nancy pelosi to task over her performance in leading the sham impeachment process. Whatever you want to call it. Farce, with also tonight much more on president victory in the middle east and his actions to protect america and america lives. Terrorists and expert doctor and National Security fred joins right of a the break and take that a up with them and much, mh more stay with us. Well be right back. I am totally blind.

Under my urnld my leadership we have destroyed the isis territory caliphate and recently American SpecialOperation Forces killed the terrorist leader known as al bad world is a safer place without these monsters. Without question. Although some radical democrats are questioning just that. The president today touting what is yet another impressive Foreign Policy visht in the middle east. Tie the death of suleimani to an october raid that killed former isis lead abu as well. The pentagon tonight sendingings another 3,000 of our troops the armys 82, pinged Airborne Division to kuwait battalion of 750 paratroops to troopers deploy to same region earlier this week that Defense Department calling this deployment precautionary action in response to height pinged threat from iran against american personnel and the facility. Joining us tonight to assess what is now a extraordinary moment in our history. Doctor walid fox business National Security expert president of the center for Security Policy great to have you both with o us, and thanks r joining us. Let me begin first with you the very idea that there would be any voice that would rise up in this country to say this president was somehow reckless and irresponsible as he did what should have been done in estimation of most analyst ive talk ad with long, long ago. Your thoughts . What if this was any action that this president has taken against a terrorist, even beyond abu al a aggressive behavior and terror afnght without wage withing war. People are talking about war what war . A war youre going to have a hundred thousand people invasion of iraq, or in, you know, set invasion of iran it is not happening. These are Counter Terrorism operations. And he did the right thing because suleimani and his networks were preparing for a campaign against u. S. Military diplomats civilian and others in addition to what they have been doing in term of repressing iraqis with 600 or 700 of them so this was a successful operation. No american casualties and we are warning the iranians not to try to open a war because the wants to end these wars. And , ofof course the one saying tht there would be severe consequences as a result of the action taken against suleimani. Your thoughts on the possibilities of escalation here . Well look i was on the House Intelligence Committee i know something about covert actions. Theyre supposed to be a notification of congress maybe to the gang of eight top eight members of congress before the the things take places but the law says if the president doesnt do this had hes supposed to just notify congress in a timely manner with the reason he did not notify them and lou we know why he didnt notify them in advance because he thought information about this would heck. Because congress the democrats have politicized National Security to such a point that the president cannot trust them with information and that would put lives at risk now i think the president t did the rite thing. And your thoughts on this same issue because iugimagine why any president in this situation oppose from every quarter from radical left trying to overthrow his presidency would feel in any way that it would be upon him to to tell them about details even the generality of this operation to take out of terrorist leader. Look, i agree with fred assessment and hes been inside the government he knows about those things. Basically if this it was a war because some parts of the critics are. Saying theyre goig to have a war then, of course, hes going to go to congress and then talk with the leaders. If this was a special operation, and it was he can he has a discretion of informing the congressional leader of gang of eight and more but if the situation is very critical, he has the ability of conducting the operation and then, of course,f informing the congressional lead percent at the end of the day the legislative branch will have that information. But it is under his capacity to conduct this very serious and leaks could damage this operation and all about what we heard about leaking over the past two to three years are not going to be encouraging the president to share this information at this point and time. Does it appear to both of you and start request you does it appear to you that schumer and pelosi and it reactions here and purely political reactions on a National Security issue as important as this are really basically trying to preserve the president who proceeded him obamas legacy rather than preserve the safety of the American People. I think theres some truth to that but look the reaction to this issue just shows in thes continue to refuse to accept the legitimate city of Foreign Policy appointment everything that comes up to hill and it is really a shame something this serious, this dire when u. S. Lives are at risk in middle east that we cant come together to Schumer Pelosi just come forward and say this is president you did a good job here. S this was the right thing. Lou i think fred that we have movedded we have moved beyond they dont accept the outcome the of the election. Theyree trying to overturn the result of the election. Theyre try to do so in the most venal, with vicious, ways that they can conjure. There is a corruption within this party that Democratic Party that is, that would have been unthink aboutable just three years ago. Because we didnt know intengt to overthrow this president. I agree with you in addition to deep domestic politics that are now sad and there are impact our National Security, and our Foreign Policy and this was an example. Theres this, you know, a cinema i dont understand why many critics are hanging to that iran deal. I mean the iranian people the iraqi people, everybody in the neighborhood are against it, and then the president take action when National Security wants him to take action. S this should be a moment of celebration, and commendation of the president his National Security team our military all of our forces and allies. It is, it is that for mosts. For the democratic peat it will have a much, much to explain to at least those who write the the next chapter of history. Ferris greg flights thanks appreciate it. Thank you.

B well to president has to contend with each and every day, radical democrats intent upon unseating himn overthrowing his presidenc. L well, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell went some distance to correct the at least a portion of the imbalance of the swamp but mcconnell rejected outright House Speaker nancy pelosi efforts to shape the Upcoming Senate trial so called as her fantasy. Their turn is over. Theyveur done enough damage. This is senate turn now to render sober judgment as the farmers envision. But we cant hold a trial without thee articles. The senate old rules dont provide for that. Well joining us tonight to take up all of this and including, of course, the attack on baghdad, congressman jim banks a member of the House Services commit education and veteran affairs commitment a busy man in congress. And i want to first of all welcome you to the broadcast and wish you a hep new year congressman. Happy newn. Year, lou. The president thank you very much. The president today, i just found myself reacting why should a president have to explain that a that a terrorist who is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of our troops in iraq who t is responsible for global terrorism who is killed thousands of people is responsible for their deaths. He has to actually explain that to the left wing National Media and the Democratic Party. I mean, thats, thats just to me stupefying. Lou this is what weve come to expect from democrats and from the left. But weve also come to expect this type of leadership from President Trump. What happened yesterday in taking out suleimani means that today americans woke up and were safer today than what we were yesterday. This is what weve grown accustom to with President Trumps leadership and why hes going to go down in history as one of the best president s weve ever hadtr flexing american muse where appropriate. And having a realist approach to Foreign Policy that is why i appreciate the reasoned and the restraint that this president has shown toward iran. But yesterday it was a victory and shouldnt be politicized i feel sorry for my democrat colleagues and friend who look so petty in their reaction to this good news for our country for american National Security. They look petty in how theyre dealing with impeachment and not allowing that to take on the next step in the senate. But thats as ive said where weve grown accustom to with democrat in the congress today. It is, it is an extraordinary moment in history for so many reasons. We have a as i was saying earlier with wall lead and friend this is a moment for celebration. This is a country whos president has acted. He with an attack on a special enemy of this country, this is straightforward. A person who has done this country and hundreds of americans indeed thousands of americans great, great damage and killed hundreds. If not even more. It just its a you know i hate to use the word surreal because it is so often overused. It has cliche, but it is ill go back to my word. Stupefying. But thats a good word for it lou. Fo what most americans already know is this had president s record on National Security is the best record of my lifetime. He just inspite of being impeached, the day before the Impeachment Vote in the house he pepassed a defense bill that is the largest defense bill in american history. Hes passed three of them in a road to rebuild American Military to adopt reagan peace throughtr strength, to prevent s from getting involved in needless endless wears around the the globe thats in great contrast to the Previous Administration that showed weakness whose policy was one with of appeasement toward bad actors like iran. This president s record in supporting our troops supporting ourti veterans it is substantial. It has to cant go unnoticed. It is why once again i appreciate this president s leadership. And i look forward to another four years of it come l this november. Yeah. The American People will demand it. This is a a president who has already in my opinion hes historic but already one of the greatest president s and with another four years in which to get more done hes already set a standard congressman. For president s that most more os wont be able to meet he outworks and outthinks. Hes a remarkably e resourceful hes bright. His judgment is secondnd to none. It is just to me, also a i have to say im watching people in the housech of representatives theyre coming together behind this president. Theyre, theres actual bona fide quantitative substantive unity among republicans and were not just hearing about strong letters to follow from you guys. Were seeing you with all stand up. And i have to say thats impressive. We need to sit in the senate as well but its impressive. Im inspired by this president s leadership ive been back in my district lou for two week over the krems holiday season. I have never been stopped by constituent many ofpp them who have never met before as much as i have over the past two week and message i hear from each and every had of them is keep fight along side this president keep standing up for this president and helping him do what he needs get this country on right track. Im l very proud to stand with them and what he had guts to do taking out a world terrorist and suleimani no recent president had gut to do thats why im proud to stand h with this president my constituents are proud of this president. And im looking forward to getting back to washington getting back to work with him next week. Yeah. Yeah. To have a president who orders the death of one of the countrys greatest enemieses rather than delivering pallets full of currency for terror, more terrorism originating from around. Yes. It feels awfully good doesnt it in congressman jim banks thanks so much. We appreciate it. The great to be with you. Up next President Trumps message tonight to e evangelical voters. 25 million of them. Well be taking that up with robert evers also tonight the u. S. Preparing for a cyberretaliation from iran. General jack joins us on what could be expected and what the military is prepared for. Stay with us. Soleimani was plotting eminent and sinister attackses on american diplomatses and military personnel. But we caught him in the act and terminated him welcome back President Trump today talking about his decision to attack out irans qaasim one of the worst terrorists in this this fight against terror. It is for the past 20 years. Also a tonight the United States ready for retaliation 3,000 more of our paratroopers headed to kuwait as precautionary measure, and a Mitch Mcconnell calls out pelosi fantasy the Senate Majority leader dismissing house speak efforts to shape the impeachment trial in the senate. If there is to be one mcconnell says pelosi wants to hold article as of impeachment because she is now afraid and looking for a way out. Well, multiple National Security sources are warning tonight that iran can get revenge on the United States would like to at least for the killing of its top commander. Secretary of state mike pompeo warning among other things of cyberattack threats from iran this morning. Here he is. Always risk of cyberattacks iranians have a deep and complex cybercapable to be sure the man that we took out yesterday orchestrated attack right here in washington, d. C. Not too terribly long ago it was unsuccessful but that was him. That was same guy and actionses that we took yesterday were both consistent with deterrent and with disrupting that eminent attack. And President Trump today declared an end to iranian general soleimani reign of terror insisting hes not seeking an overthrow of the iranian government no change of regime. We did not seek regime change, however, iranian regimes aggression and region and imploding use of proxy fighters to disstabilizee neighbors must end and it must end now. And joining us tonight general former vice chief of staff for u. S. Army retired four star general fox business senior strategic analyst general great to have you with us. Lets get to first the issue of retaliation escalation on the part of the iranians, the democrats are making it clear thats going to be their talking a point throughout. And are are ignoring altogether that president s decision to take out soleimani was in retaliation for killing american troops and contractor. Yeah. I mean, lou if we have very specific intenls and weve it for a little bit of time that soleimani was directing attack on americans in iraq and many of the iraqiqi proxy leaders are involvedox in that, and soleimai wases killed along with one who is soleimani deputy in charge of all the of the programs in iraq. And tonight as with wede speak a couple of hour ago some drone attacks were conducted against other leaders that were going to participate in that attack. Solet assume that attack took place. And the president had knowledge that it was taken place for a number of days. And americans are killed. What would be the criticism then . I mean, my god, the president acted responsibly he had a duty to actut no american were goingo be threatened i dont get the criticism of president acting to prudently to prevent americans fromming being killed. And it was absolutely the right move to be made it should have been done a long time ago lou he was designated as global terrorist in 2005 and sanctioned by u. N. And because of the appeasement policy of the Obama Administration it was handle off iran hands off everything theyve done in the region that was so malign aggressive and detrimental to people in syria yemen and other places but this president nd changed strategy and said look at were not going to put up this behavior in the region anymore. No weapons, no Nuclear Weapon no missiles and lets change bhiefer and he chose not to do it with bullets he chose had to do with economic sachs and it has been working. And he chose to do the right thing and that is taking out an enemy of the unitedd states. And enemy of really every state in the region and suddenly the left wing media has gone completely stupid it seems theyve g been some sort of seizure of stupid in which theyre ignoring the history. Ignoring the Foreign Policy issues that are there. Its just extraordinary to me to see what blinds both the National Left wing with media to history as well as to the news and events of the day. That should have been bipartisan support for this attack on soleimani given the fact thats we know he he and cohorts were planning to attack more americans, and i cant get over divisiveness that exist its really sad, sad to see it happen. Other thing lou is the iranians have been trying to provoke us now for a year and a half. And theyve been going up the escalation ladder to do it from disrupt or tanker glowing them up attacking oil shooting down a drone and conducting 11 attackses on bases where americanss are. No american up to the last time was killed. The president never fired back on any of it. He exercised extraordinary restraint and i think it gives them further legitimate for sacs he has taken in bringing down soleimani and these other leaders. Because it absolutely had to be done given the intelligence that they had and demonstrating in the past that im not going to be provoked into a war with iran. Im only going to take a measured response and i think thatss what we really have he. Yeah. Ting this country i know this country is very fortunate to have President Trump in the white house because he has as you have pointed it out, has been constrained and measured dispite provocation. And and he is at the same time embattled with a Democratic Party trying to overthrow it. It iss it is the damnedest moment and the Democratic Party means to overthrow legitimate government that it is just stunning. It is. Yeah, and other thing that needs to be noted here is the iranians are really spooked lou by the civil unrest that theyve had in the country theyve never had anything like itt in 40 year and incidents in the past but nothing like this small towns. Smallik cities, big city same issue. It is against the regime. Not against the america against the regime and it has spiked in november iranians are trying to find some way to put pressure on the trumped aing mrgs through the International Community to back off the sanctions thats what this is all about and they keep going up the escalation ladder hoping that create this kind of crisis, and that is where we find ourselves iranians are back on heels making bad decisions. And well see what they decide to do about this. I think they know full well to go out to kill more americans theyre going get a response from this president theres no doubt about that now. There may have been some doubt about it before. But that, that chapter is is done. They know full well that hell come at him full throttled they do that again. General. Were out off time. I would like to have a few more minutes but weve were overr as usual, and we benefit immeasurably every time question go over with talking with you.

Lou pre President Trump today making his First Campaign stop of the new year, and miami debuting e van evangelicals for trump cocollision and joining us pastor robert, pastor of the First Baptist church ofin dalla, and fox business contributor host of fox nations pathway to victory. Pastor great to have you with us. The the president going after all of those 25 million of evangelical talked about that that the 2020 campaign wants to bring to the polls. How did it go . Oh, it was e tremendous, lou ive never seen so much energy in a rule as there was tonight and you know there have been some reports from the the left about a civil war among evangelical other trump that is pure myth theyre united behind this president. And you know one of the biggest applause lines for president got tonight was when he talked about soleimani, and you know what remindinged me three years ago when he was president elect, we wering talking and trump tower about another hot spot in the the world and lou he looked at me straight in the eye and said robert, with im going to do whatever it takes to keep this nation safe and weve seen him fulfill that promise and thats why at the end of tonight rally and my prayer, i said, i said tonight in my prayer we thank god we have a president who doesnt hesitate or flinch when it comes to confront and eliminating evil. You know, but evil is is present in so many form and its not all overseas or in iran. Ot this there is something abroad in this country pastor that to me is inexplicable l that we have a nation that is large portion of it is not celebrating when an enemy is killed and enemy of this country is killed. And the president is questioned about well how bad was this person . Meat to them what he killed soleimani. Killed hundreds and hundreds of our troops wounded thousands, and his carried death throughout the region. Forr iran its in all of this theres nothing new about this. This is knowledge for anyone to be aware of and i cant imagine anyone would not be over the course of the past 20 years of his of his involvement as lead is leader of the quds force. Lou what youre talking about reminds me of what the bible says woe to the nation that calls evil good and calls good evil. What that is the motto of the democrat party, they call evil things good and they call good things like eliminating this Terror Threat to the entire world they call that evil. They are perverse in their thinking. They cant even think straight to be able to recognize good from evil and thats why i dont see how any person with a conscience could vote for one of these democrat candidates who embraceor these godless and perverted policies.

Good nightht from west palm bea. David tonight new airstrikes targeting iranbacked militants in iraq, while 3,000 american troops deployed in the middle east just hours after President Trump authorized a drone strike killing a top iranian general. Good evening, everyone. Im david asman tonight in for trish regan. Well, iran is now vowing, quote, forceful revenge for the killing of Qassem Soleimani who commanded that countrys security and Intelligence Services and was responsible for the deaths of thousands of civilians and over 600 u. S. Soldiers in iraq. President trump says he approved the strike based on information that soleimani was plotting to kill even more
