say, why do you ever charge him if he's not going to leave iran? first of all, we don't know if there's anybody else involved in the case. it looks like not but we're not certain. second -- and this is really interesting. if you're sitting in his shoes, you can never move again. you can't go to europe. you can't go to the beach in the south of france. you can't go to germany. you can't go to the asia. the message is to iranian leadership and orders executing in iranian leadership. you can stay in iran forever, but if you ever want to leave that country, we're going to get you. i think this is significant. and it's not only whether he gets pulled into u.s. court. it's the message that says, you'll never travel again. >> phil mudd, thank you so much for your insight. >> thanks, sure. coming up, trump supporters are furious about the mar-a-lago search. but that's just one source of simmering anger in this country across the political spectrum. can anything be done to diffuse things? that's coming up next.
