This go. Because you know, they have a stabilization facility that if you take that out and continue these attacks, we are talking about the Energy Supplies for most of the world. What action do you anticipate the u. S. Will take against iran . Well, we couldt retaliate against iran and that problem with that is there could be a very quickly an escalation. Which would put the entire gulf in jeopardy. Which, you know, sorry for running these figures by you, but 55 of the worlds oil reserves sit around the persian gulf. Let me ask you about another big story were following because just last month israel accused iran of preparing an attack with killer drones. How difficult is to stop this type of warfare . With drones, very difficult. You can do contour flying right off the ground. It is hard to detect them. Larger drones, yes, flying at a high altitude, you can track them with radar. But as a guerrilla weapon, they are really scary. You can even make drones with 3d explosives so the entire drenon is explosive. The technology is answadvancing fast. And on the confirmation on the death of hamza bin laden, how much weight did he actually hold in al qaeda . Not much. It was sort of a legacy the name. He certainly was unable to carry out any attacks against the west or the United States. The last al qaeda important attack was 2005. This organization with hamzas death is definitely on its last legs. Whether it is being picked up support by the Islamic State or not is a different question, but i think that al qaeda is finished. Okay. Bob beyer, good to have you with us. Thank you. Now to the beto backlash. Beto orourkes comments on a mandatory buy back of assault style weapons is triggering a major response from republicans in his home state. The texas gop is now offering this shirt in exchange for 30 donations. On did you can see confrontational slogan beto, come and take it. That is in responsibility to orourkes rousing response when he was asked at the democratic debate if he was a supporter of a mandatory buyback. I am if it is a weapon that was designed to kill people on a battlefie battlefield. If the high impact high velocity round when it hits your body shreds everything inside of your body because it was designed to do that so that you would bleed to death on a battlefield, hell yes, we will take your ar15, your ak47. We wont allow to be used against fellow americans anymore. And the statement also led to this tweet which then led to orourke and his Campaign Reporting to the fbi from sitting texas lawmaker briscoe cain. And it says my ar is ready for you, robert francis. Cain says that orourke is spinning his online comment into a death threat. Orourke is from el paso which just went through a mass shooting that left 22 dead,en a attack against hispanics. He himself is fund raising off his rallying cry selling tshirts with his quote hell, yes, well take your ar15. Lets turn now to jeremy diamond. After the multiple Mass Shootings nationwide recently, what is the status of gun reform talks, has the president given any indication what he would actually support . Well, over the past six weeks since that pair of Mass Shootings that happened in el paso and dayton, ohio, weve heard the president express varying degrees of red flag laws or back ground checks. But now we are no closer to knowing what the president would support. And that is despite the fact that white house officials and capitol hill aides have been hard at work looking at potential gun reform proposals. The president held a series of meetings last week with key lawmakers and staff on the issue who briefed them on potential options. But here is what the president had to say at the conclusion of those meetings. A big meeting today on guns. A lot of progress was made i believe on the background checks. But we are always protecting our Second Amendment. So we are hearing still boiler plate comments from the president about what he would support. No closer to knowing what it is. But we know that in high level calls with capitol hill, the attorney general bill barr signaled that there has been Little Movement on this issue and that the chances of the president supporting a background check expansion are diminishing. What is clear is that purcharepn lawmakers are waiting to see what the president would be willing to support before they take any action towards any gun you reform proposals. And were also hearing the white houses considering a phone app . What can you tell us about that . Thats right, that is one of the of the options that white house officials have been brainstorming over the last several weeks. And this would be a phone app that would connect to the instant criminal Background Check Service allowing users to essentially conduct groubackgro checks in terms of private sales that are currently not manmanda. And it is unclear whether that would be in con juchks wikoconj closing the gun show loophole provides private sale to take place without any background checks. So that will certainly be a question. But that is one thing that the white house is now looking at. Jeremy, thank you. One democratic senator is warning that beto orourkes pledge to con iffiscate assault style weapons could haunt the Democratic Party for years to come. I frankly think that that clip will be played for years at Second Amendment rallies with organizations that try to scare people by saying that democrats are coming for your guns. I respect what is motivating congressman orourke, but i dont think as a policy position that that will stand muster. I dont think that majority of the senate or the country will embrace mandatory buybacks. We need to focus on what we can get done. Host of s. E. Cupp joining us and also joe lockhart. We saw those shirts. Is coons right, are republicans going to spin this as democrats want your guns . I dont think it is spin. Beto is always proud of himself when he has a tv moment and quick to fund raise off it and slap it on a Bumper Sticker or tshirt. We saw the same when he swore on television twice. And so im not surprised that he really thinks that this is a big seller for him. But everything that he said before hell, yeah, well take your ar15s was good. And less quotable, right . But harder to put on a tshirt. And harder for republicans to cut into an attack ad. That was literally handing republicans an advertisement that they can use against him and it was just unnecessary. As chris coons said, we understand his frustration. Whatever side of the issue you are on, you know, you can admire his passion on this issue. But to say stuff like that that he thinks is cute and clever and quote theable is probably going to hurt him and the party. I won exercider if it will t. Passion came through. A lot of people said this was beto orourkes best debate. And he has been in need of a moment to kind of reset or reenergize his campaign. Is that what could potentially happen here or will it backfire . I think that you have to understand it from where he was when he said it. Which was nowhere. He was at 2 , 3 in the polls. And this has given him a boost of energy and excitement and attention. So that maybe gets him to 7 or 8 which makes him a viable candidate. Lightning can strike. So i dont think that he is worried about, you know, what happens next. He is worried about to him. To him, right. Do you think he speaks for the Democratic Party . No, he doesnt. He speaks for beto orourke just like joe biden speaks for joe biden and Elizabeth Warren speaks for Elizabeth Warren. There is i think if they went up there again and asked all ten of them do you agree with him, eight or 23450i7b would have said no. It is not the democratic but im a little cynical about the idea that somehow this is something terrible for the Democratic Party, that republicans will cut ads on it. They were going to cut them anyway. They dont need facts to charge the democrats with some, you know to dem going doing on t issue. But until beto, they didnt have anyone saying yep, coming for your guns. I dont think it has that big offen an impact. If the nominee is for confiscating guns, we will really test where the public is. What i sense is that you i dont think the nominee will have that position. The Climate Crisis another huge issue confronting the candidates and lawmakers. Actually around the world. It is a global issue. And later this month there will be a summit. Here is how the president addressed this you ississue. And they talked about plastic straws. I said what about the plate, a wrapper take out of a tougher plastic . Number one to me most importantly, the light is no good. I always look orange. And so do you. The light is the worst. Over 100 democrats have signed up to support the 100 trillion green new deal. That is a beauty. No more cows, no more planes. I guess no more people, right . S. E. , what is he talking about . Not a whole lot of science or policy, but let me tell you that message works with a lot of people who think even people who think that the Climate Crisis is serious enough that we should be doing sthg abo doing something about it. That some of this stuff like banning straws and banning air travel is not serious. Who is banning air travel . Under the green new deal, there is a long term attempt to greatly reduce and maybe ban trains and air travel. That is in there. But i think that he is doing the joe schmo barstool argument. And it works for his base. Do you think that it would be smart for democrats to hyper focus on issues like Climate Change and the Climate Crisis or guns for example sort of like the president did with immigration back in 2016 . What i said before that there didnt have to be fact involved on guns, when it comes to climate, the president doesnt need them either. He will talk about how i want to take your hamburger away. And it is embarrassing. The president of the United States is precrepresenting our country as loeader of the free world with comments like that. One thing that struck me about the debate is when Pete Buttigieg talked about trusting the voters. And those two things really stand in contrast. I think that the democrats for better or worse will trust the voters to be smarter than they were last time. Politically is that going to work . I dont know. But i think that when you are taking on trump, you have to. Because if you get into a fight over who can demagog more, you will lose every time. So that is why it stuck in my mind the buttigieg comments. Because i think that we have to and i think that we have to educate as well as edadvocate a activate the voters. Thank you both. I always appreciate it. And remember you can catch s. E. Cupp unfiltered at the top of the hour.

That is what new york Officials Say they have uncovered after digging into the finances of the family that owns purdue phrma. The discovery comes two days after the Company Proposed a settlement in an a ongoing lawsuit. New York Attorney general says while the sack letters continues to skirt a responsible settlement, we refuse to allow the family to in use the courts to skirt a responsible settlement, we refuse to allow the family to in use the courts. Polo sandoval is following this. What more do we know about the Sackler Family and what they are allegedly doing . Especially because perdurdue phrma proposed a settlement of this litigation. And now the new York State Attorney general coming forward with the friday filing where they allege that the Sackler Family attempted to hide at least a billion dollars worth of their wealth in various ways. And one of the allegations specifically made against a certain member of the family, mortim mortimer, i want to read more of what was in that filing. The a. G. Writing because defendant Mortimer Sackler placed these new York Real Estate holdings in the name of shell companies, their ownership would have been impossible to detect from publicly available records and without access to financialrecords, sackler allegedly received money that was transferred through various swiss swiss bank accounts. So what is the attorney general doing right now . Following the money trail. They are trying to find out exactly how much wealth the Sackler Family has and where it is. And what is the Sackler Family saying about. They are saying that the transfe transfers are legitimate and questioning the value of this here in the statement to cnn, mortner sackler saying there is nothing news worthy about these transfers and they write that this is an attempt by a hostile a. G. s office to jen rate defamatory headlines to try to torpedo a mutually beneficial settlement that is supported by so many other states and would result in billions of dollars going to communities and individuals across the country that need help. Sackler family also says that they are cooperating with the discovery process, they claim that they have already handed over like 51 million pages of financial documents. But when you read between the lines, you can understand that the attorney general in new york state is trying to put more pressure on Sackler Family to further comply with the subpoenas. As we said, the key question, exactly how much wealth do they have and is it potential fair game as part of this litigation. Polo, thank you.
