  • ( PIANO RIFF ) IN OTHER INTERNATIONAL NEWS, THE

  • TRUMP ADMINISTRATION STILL HASN'T SETTLED ON A LEGAL

  • JUSTIFICATION FOR BOMBING IRANIAN GENERAL, QASEM

  • SOLEIMANI.

  • ONE OFFICIAL GRASPING AT STRAWS IS SECRETARY OF STATE AND

  • ONE-MAN BARBERSHOP QUARTET, MIKE POMPEO.

  • THE ADMINISTRATION'S OFFICIAL EXPLANATION IS THAT THE STRIKE

  • OCCURRED TO THWART AN "IMMINENT ATTACK," BUT ON THURSDAY, POMPEO

  • HAD TROUBLE NARROWING THAT DOWN.

  • >> THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THERE WERE A SERIES OF IMMINENT

  • ATTACKS THAT WERE BEING PLOTTED BY QASEM SOLEIMANI.

  • AND WE DON'T KNOW PRECISELY WHEN AND WE DON'T KNOW PRECISELY

  • WHERE, BUT IT WAS REAL.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) >> STEPHEN: (AS POMPEO)

  • "HELLO, 9-1-1?

  • I'M BEING ROBBED!

  • I DON'T KNOW PRECISELY WHEN, AND I DON'T KNOW PRECISELY WHERE,

  • BUT I DO HAVE THE ADDRESS OF A GUY I WANT YOU TO KILL.

  • THIS IS REAL!" "HELLO!

  • HELLO!

  • HELLO!" ( PIANO RIFF )

  • ( APPLAUSE ) EVEN REPUBLICANS WERE CONCERNED

  • ABOUT THE VAGUENESS OF THE JUSTIFICATIONS, SO ON FRIDAY

  • THE PRESIDENT WENT ON THE FOX NEWS TO CLEAR THINGS UP.

  • >> DON'T THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT

  • SPECIFICALLY WAS TARGETED WITHOUT REVEALING METHODS AND

  • SOURCES?

  • >> WELL, I DON'T THINK SO, BUT WE WILL TELL YOU THAT PROBABLY

  • IT WAS GOING TO BE THE EMBASSY IN BAGHDAD.

  • I CAN REVEAL THAT I BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOUR

  • EMBASSIES.

  • >> STEPHEN: HE BELIEVES IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOUR EMBASSIES.

  • DO WE REALLY WANT TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE WE BOMB PEOPLE

  • BECAUSE OF WHAT DONALD TRUMP BELIEVES?

  • WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A GUY WHO BELIEVES THAT WINDMILLS CAUSE

  • CANCER.

  • SO, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, HOLLAND!

  • HE'S COMING!

  • ( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )

  • GET ON YOUR WOODEN SHOES!

  • >> Jon: COME ON!

  • >> Stephen: STICK YOUR FINGER IN THE DIKE!

  • ( APPLAUSE ) ON SUNDAY, DEFENSE SECRETARY

  • MARK ESPER DID HIS BEST-- AND IT WASN'T GOOD.

  • >> CAN YOU CLARIFY THOUGH, WAS THE SPECIFIC THREAT THAT THE

  • PRESIDENT SHARED WITH FOX NEWS ABOUT FOUR U.S. EMBASSIES BEING

  • UNDER THREAT, ALSO SHARED WITH CONGRESS?

  • WHY WAS THERE A DIFFERENCE?

  • >> WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID WAS HE BELIEVED THAT IT PROBABLY

  • AND COULD HAVE BEEN ATTACKS AGAINST ADDITIONAL EMBASSIES.

  • I SHARED THAT VIEW.

  • >> THAT SOUNDS MORE LIKE AN ASSESSMENT THAN A SPECIFIC

  • TANGIBLE THREAT WITH A-- A DECISIVE PIECE OF INTELLIGENCE.

  • >> WELL, THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T SAY THERE WAS A TANGIBLE-- HE

  • DIDN'T CITE A SPECIFIC PIECE OF EVIDENCE.

  • WHAT HE SAYS PROBABLY-- HE BELIEVED, COULD HAVE BEEN--

  • >> ARE YOU SAYING THERE WASN'T ONE?

  • >> I DIDN'T SEE ONE WITH REGARD TO THE FOUR EMBASSIES.

  • >> Stephen: WOW.

  • ( AUDIENCE REACTS ) THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS LIKE

  • THE COUPLE WHO DIDN'T COORDINATE THEIR LIE BEFORE LEAVING THE

  • PARTY.

  • "WELP, WE'VE GOTTA HEAD OUT.

  • THE BABYSITTER CALLED.

  • WHAT'S THAT?

  • MY WIFE SAID IT'S BECAUSE FOUR EMBASSIES ARE UNDER THREAT?

  • YES.

  • IT WAS THAT, TOO.

  • THEY ARE THREATENED BY... THE BABYSITTER.

  • SHE'S A MANIAC.

  • KEEP THE TUPPERWARE.

  • BYE."

  • ( APPLAUSE ) ( PIANO RIFF )

  • THIS MORNING, TRUMP TOOK TO TWITTER TO SAY HE AND ESPER ARE

  • ON THE SAME PAGE: "THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA AND THEIR

  • DEMOCRAT PARTNERS ARE WORKING HARD TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT

  • THE FUTURE ATTACK BY TERRORIST SOLEIMANI WAS EMINENT OR NOT."

  • NOW, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED TRUMP USED THE WRONG WORD THERE.

  • "EMINENT," WHICH MEANS, "FAMOUS AND RESPECTED WITHIN A

  • PARTICULAR SPHERE."

  • I'LL USE IT IN A SENTENCE: "DONALD TRUMP IS THE MOST

  • EMINENT EXAMPLE OF A MAN WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL

  • "IMMINENT."

  • ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) BUT HOW "EMINENT" THE THREAT WAS

  • MAY NOT MATTER BECAUSE THIS MORNING, WE FOUND OUT THAT TRUMP

  • AUTHORIZED THE KILLING OF SOLEIMANI SEVEN MONTHS AGO.

  • SO, WE KILLED HIM ON LAYAWAY?

  • ( LAUGHTER ) IS IT AN INSTALLMENT PLAN?

  • (AS TRUMP) "WE'LL KILL HIM A LITTLE BIT

  • EVERY MONTH."

  • ( LAUGHTER ) OR DOES TRUMP JUST HAVE PILES OF

  • AUTHORIZATIONS LYING AROUND FOR THINGS HE WANTS TO DO AND CAN'T

  • JUSTIFY YET?

  • (AS TRUMP) "THIS ONE IS TO BLOW UP ROSIE

  • O'DONNELL, AND THIS ONE IS TO MAKE TUBE TOPS MANDATORY."
