comments are directed at trump and mike pompeo who fired back at iran himself, take a listen. >> you have a large state of terror capable saying they will arouse every muslim in the world to martyr president trump and me. something that has never been done before and a security risk. tells you how they think about this administration. >> a cyber attack hacking racing tension in the middle east. hackerss broke into the jerusalem post displaying this photo here. it is the image of a bullet-shaped object firing out of a ring worn on a finger. that ring is allegedly attributed to soleimani, a ring he would routinely wear, the post has said they see this hacking as a direct threat to the country. kevin and todd, back to you. >> kevin: alex hogan, thank you. in the states, blue cities handing down strict vaccine and
the president's view is that schools should be open across the country and more than 95% are across the country, the mental health impacts on kids of not having schools open is very harsh and hard and he does not want to see schools closed across the country. so, there is no secret about that, that continues to be what he states, why he fought for funding and we will continue to be in touch with local leaders in chicago to work to get their schools open. >> statement over the weekend with regards to iran and sanctions and threats against american officials. should we interpret the u.s. intelligence there is threats and against top officials involved in the soleimani strike? >> i'm not going to get fl volumed in intelligence here from the podium, but we have seen rhetoric from officials from previous administration's, even from sanctions before this weekend and that's unacceptable. as jake sullivan said, as
fbi wasn't aware because they were too busy watching parents in school districts including the school district in my town all across the country because that's the new apparent terrorist? that's unacceptable. and the fbi's refusal and fear to call it what it was an anti-semitic terror attack out of the gate is heinous. >> pete: dana, you are exactly right. what sense do you have that our fbi, that our doj, that our leadership are willing to do what is necessary to stare down what could be a growing islam threat? we hope it's not, but look what has happened in afghanistan and look at these kind of bold actions. look at what iran wants to do as revenge for soleimani. they so focused on patience and january 6th. >> are they orienting properly to defend what's is necessary to defend our citizens? >> that's the million-dollar question. we have seen a rise in anti-semitic attacks from 2020 to 2021. thousands have taken place. this is an ongoing problem that's increasing. and you would think, pete, that the fbi would be watching this
right there. the launch this morning appears to be in response to recent u.s. sanctions, the white house not yet respondings to the launch. another fox news alert, conflict in the middle east. two rockets fired at the u.s. embassy in baghdad. showing the moment activated. pro-iranian -- of soleimani. iraqi military says two civilians were hurt. carley. >> carley: massive blow to president biden's push to overhaul elections. kyrsten sinema says she won't support killing the filibuster and fellow democrat senator joe manchin is backing her up. take a listen. >> there is no need to restate my longstanding support for this to pass legislation, there is no need for me to restate the role protecting the country from wild
conduct these missions. we will have to find out during the day what we can about exactly what happened. there were many reports overnight of fire fights, of significant use of women's. the pentagon not addressing any of that just yet at this early hour. >> barbara, do we usually hear about these kinds of operations? >> reporter: yes. the trend over the past many years has been when these are significant and they kill e target, the human that they want to kill. they will say, because they want to advertise that, if you will, they want to make that fact public to terrorist groups. and of course the one perhaps most significant a couple years ago, soleimani, the head of the iran revolutionary guard corps.they wanted to send a
when he was vice president, not wanting to go after osama bin laden, during the raid to kill him, and what gates said about him, wrong in national security decisions in the united states, and president obama said don't underestimate the ability for joe to screw something up. he's not a very strong presid he talks a good game but does not play a good game and all three of these countries. russia, china and iran respond to strength. if you don't show strength, they are going to continue to push. i saw that with president trump when we killed soleimani, put the iranians on their heels. same thing with the north koreans and with russians on numerous occasions where we really hit them pretty hard, primarily in syria, killed hundreds of mersnaries, i don't
happening, the fact we were energy independent made us less reliant on russian oil and made the less of the world less reliant on russian oil. the sanctions donald trump was in of on nord stream 2, russia didn't have strangle hold over places like germany and enriched itself enough to be able to invade ukraine and cause this situation like we see with this right now. people can all say anything they want about donald trump, they cannot get around the fact we did not have any wars under donald trump. he did things rather unprecedent said because he was a businessman and led from a position of strength. we had multiple talks with north korea about denuclearizing the peninsula, eradicated ice, took out people like soleimani and continued talks with china.
that's a consistent track record. opening up u.s. trade, opening up the world's financial system, removing sanctions is going to give all stronger but equally maligned force. >> bill: it's amazing to think this is happening and we're not there. what you said, that's a sea change. that's profound. i see none of it is being good for us, for the world, james. >> yeah. you think there's got to be kind of a moment here where i think the president has got to wisely judiciously demonstrate that he and the united states are players. you think that trump missile strike at soleimani. deserving target for that strike. that might do us a lot of good.
them. i think that that's how i ime wd frame that . let me we could look to the past. you're the historianan. we watch ronald reagan.. he never put a single american foot on the ground when the former soviet union went into afghanistan. but he did provide them stinger missiles and stinger missiles to the mujahideen made all d the difference. he did provide the freedom i fighters, the contras in nicaragua, the weaponryn that they needed that proved successful. then you gotvel. the trump docto which took out the caliphate that grew under bidenre obama he just bombed the living out h of them or took out soleimani with the same principle, took out baghdadi and associatesipalo american boots on the ground and took out the al-qaida leadert t in yemen. i thinkwe we can learn both from trump that we can learn from reagan how to do this and win without risking american lives. your thought sure. >> absolutely is the thing that's frustrating about this administration, whether
krauthammer once wrote enterte the reagan doctrine, which relies on indigenous revolutionaries to challenge for reasons that parallel but need not coincide with ours, the soviet empire and its periphery. this strategy. effectivelyly countered the soviet communists. like i said, in places like central america again withouter putting an american boots t on the groundhe and not riskingn a single american life. this is similarar to what president trump did in twenty seventeen with great success in iraq . this is after joe biden and barack obama letba this isis khalifeh build out without a large group presence. donald trump utterly destroyed the isis caliphate using modern weaponry and technology to do it, pushing buttons in tampahn,r florida and with pinpoint precision precision taking outtw one target after another. and two years later, president trump utilized a similaroo strategy. he took out iran'sk top terrorist soleimani with a drone strike in baghdad righte there on the tarmac of ant,
