First full week of the new year. We start this hour with a fox news alert. Actions will be taken overnight soleimanis replacement. The general there, issuing that chilling warning and we are wondering what its about. About. Ainsley it comes as the daughter threatens revenge for her daughters death. Brian President Trump levels new warnings to iraq and iran. Make sense of that, rick. Rick good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. U. S. Allies are calling for calm here in the middle east. We are hearing dramatic threats coming out of iran with one member of Parliament Saying the white house will be attacked in retaliation for the assassination of that general via u. S. Drone strike late last week in bawrgd. That general mourned by massive crowds in tehran sunday. Tens of thousands filling the streets for a funeral procession. The generals daughter told the crowd there will be pay back against u. S. Trooches troo. Revolutionary guard commanders said america must be completely removed from the region. President trump refusing to back down started another battle in washington tweeting these media post also serve as notification to the u. S. Congress that should iran strike any u. S. Person or target, the United States will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required but is given nevertheless. Some democrats on the hill are accusing the president of acting like a dictator, including his potential 2020 opponent, joe biden. No president has the right to take the nation to war without the informed consent and authority coming from the United States congress. But he thinks he thinks he can do it by having formally told the world in a tweet tonight that this is what hes going to do. Also yesterday, a stunning move by the Iraqi Parliament voting to expel all u. S. Troops from the country. The Prime Minister still needs to sign off on that, if he does, President Trump has threatened massive sanctions against iraq in response. Steve, ainsley, brian . Brian wow, a lot going on, rick, thanks so much. Steve rick, i have a question for you before you go. Since they had a vote and kicked the United States out and the president came back and said you know what . We built a very expensive air base over there. Unless they pay us back. How much did it cost us to build that base . Any idea . I know it was in the billions. The president said billions. I know we have spent billions of dollars in iraq. The actual cost of that particular base, not clear. But, a lot of money has been spent and the president is threatening to try to get some of that money back if they kick the u. S. Troops out. Brian thanks, rick. Of course, everything that happens in iraq and with us, really, israel has got to take note. There are reports, too. That netanyahu said listener, i have got soleimani in our cross hairs to president obama and president obama said dont do anything. It was this president who said i have had enough im not going to get our bases get rocketed and our people get targeted again. We see the guy, lets get the guy. And they took out the guy. Another thing to keep in mind, too. When it comes to the iraqis, this is a very unpopular government that was doing so poorly with the iraqi people they were protesting in the streets really since october. 500 people died in protest against the government, and it was put in place and brokered by soleimani himful is. And for them to vote for us out is really not a surprise because most of those politicians in parliament were put there by those who by iranian influence. So it almost makes sense. Ainsley over the weekend new iranian general said actions will be taken. Our president said there will be major target 52 sites. Important to iran and iranian culture. People were criticizing the president for that saying you are going to destroy some cultural sites, thats ridiculous. The president said they are allowed to kill our people . They are allowed to torture and maim our people. Use rhoads and blow up our people and were not allowed to blow up our cultural sites. It doesnt work that way. Steve turns out in the the Washington Post today. They say iran has 24 locations on the United Nations list of cultural World Heritage sites that you are talking about. And according to the 1954 convention, the hague conventions, what that does is it protects Cultural Property and bans the targeting of cultural sites with military action there there is a provision that allows for a waiver due to military necessary a necessity. We asked mike pompeo are you going to take out cultural sites . He said we are going to stay within the law. They have got lawyers working on all of that stuff. Brian a lot of people say this. Well, the president of the United States, knew everybody is back in session. Senate impeachment trial whenever pelosi decides to give up the impeachment articles, is he, in fact, doing this, killing soleimani who has been on a terror list for about 10 years and the quds force longer than that, was he actually doing this to distract from impeachment . Elizabeth warren thought about that and said yeah, i think. So. Next week the president of the United States could be facing an impeachment trial in the senate. We know hes deeply upset about that. And i think people are reasonablably asking why this moment . Why does he pick now to take this highly inflammatory, highly dangerous action . That moose us closer to war. Steve it was not just Elizabeth Warren who, by the way, who has fallen into fourth place in iowa behind buttigieg, bernie and biden but also buttigieg himself he said yesterday that soleimani was a bad guy, had blood on his hands but the administration has failed to demonstrate why they had to do this operation right now. Ainsley its so interesting that people are critical of the president s decisions of our Intelligence Communitys decisions. Our generals decisions. Steve they want detail. Ainsley they cant have it. Everything cant be made public. We heard pompeo over the weekend saying everything that we have, the Intelligence Community has, he said i ran the cia at one point we cant release everything. We cant release all of our intelligence information. We will release as much as we can you just have to trust us basically. General tata says it makes us more safe. Agreed with killing this general. This evil terrorist. He says it goes to show how ridiculous our divide is that they support soleimani over president s decision. It counters everything that i learned as a soldier. Brian keep in mind, if you are going to be critical of the president for not hitting iran after they killed took out our drone and not hitting iran after they rocketed the saudi oil bases and not going after iran mining the gulf. You cant be critical of the president when he does take action. Ainsley they were trying to take out our embassy. Brian how could the president let our embassy get breached and not do anything. And he doing so and these people are going oh my god. Steve do you think he really trusts the democrats who are impeaching him right now . Mike pompeo, who heard the criticism from democrats who essentially are saying that the president did this thing over there in iraq to, like the movie, wag the dog, mike pompeo, the secretary of state says this about that, watch. Do you think, as misguided as it may be, that some of our enemies think that this president is more vulnerable because of the impeachment effort . The issue to as you should ak mr. Soleimani. Steve not available for comment. Brian busy over the last six months. Time for us to stand up and do something. Ainsley if you are a parent and your child is serving overseas for our country and we just took out the guy that was going to kill our troops, your sons, your daughters, wouldnt you support the killing of this guy . This guy is a terrorist. He has blood on his hands. He was threatening, according to what we do know about this. He was threatening hundreds of sailors and airmen and diplomats lives, people that are americans. Steve he was operating in plain sight. Thats why they were so effective with taking him ouwith a drone. We will talk to Kellyanne Conway special advisor to the United States at 8 35 this morning. In the meantime regarding impeachment and the democrats saying that he did that to take our eye off of that, later today, josh hawley who is going to be with us in one hour, the junior senator from the great state of missouri said if nancy pelosi does not send those articles of impeachment over to the senate, hes going to introduce legislation to dismiss the impeachment, period. Lindsey graham, at the same time, has an ultimatum to nancy pelosi, she is not going to like it. Here he is yesterday with maria on sunday morning futures. If she continues to refuse to send the articles as required by the constitution, i would work with senator mcconnell to change the rules of the senate, so we could start the trial without her, if nessments days not weeks. What she is doing is bad for the country. Its bad for the senate. It keeps us from getting on with the business of the American People. It denies the president his day in court. The founders never envisioned you would have a speaker do Something Like this. Brian senator schumer has hoped in the interim period to put pressure on mcconnell to flip four republicans to say we want a trial. We want witnes witnesses, we wat to drag this thing out. Senator collins, murkowski. They vindicated i dont like the idea that Mitch Mcconnell has said i have already made up my mind already. She has not neither has murkowski said i want a trial. The only thing that Speaker Pelosi can do is say i can control this narrative for a little while longer. I sense that even some democrats are getting a little uneasy and having trouble defending her because she was in such a rush to get this through. Ainsley Lindsey Graham wants to speed this up because he wants this to be over and done with nancy pelosi says she will vote to change the president s military action. Steve whats interesting is if she does not hand them over to the senate, you realize that when the state of the union rolls around on february the 5th, the president of the United States essentially would be in front of all of those senators who would be the jurors in impeachment and he would be presenting his case why he should continue to be president of the United States. He talk about his wins and stuff like that. If they mess that up on the democratic side. The republican could say actually use the calendar to their benefit. Forget about the fact that you have all these senators running for president who would be jurors. The president would actually be in the house of representatives making his case to the senators without nancy pelosi. Ainsley this is what people are going to be talking about at work today.

Ainsley he says he doesnt care. This is the fifth time that he has hosted it and it may be my last time that i ever do this. I dont care anymore. This is all humor. All jokes. He said we are awful going to die at some point and there is no sequel. Brian ainsley, th premise of his jokes are all true. Steve after he made the apple joke did i not see the nbc director pushing the button to get tim cooks reaction to that. Made it very clear, hollywood, you are selfimportant. Dont get political. You know what . Apparently not everybody heard him from their seats. When they got up there, they got political. All sorts of ways. Were not going to look back on this night in the history books.
