  • WAS KILLED LAST NIGHT.

  • THERE IS A LOT OF REACTION

  • THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST,

  • OBVIOUSLY.

  • YOU SEEING -- YOU'RE SEEING

  • SECRETARY OF STATE POMPEO TWEET

  • OUT PICTURES OF REJOICING IN THE

  • STREETS.

  • THERE OBVIOUSLY WILL BE SOME

  • PUSHBACK, SOME RETALIATION.

  • YOU'RE HEARING DEMOCRATS ON YOUR

  • PROGRAM AND OTHERS SAYING THAT

  • SULEMANI IS FAR MORE DANGEROUS

  • AS A MARTYR THAN HE WAS ALIVE.

  • AND THAT THIS IS KIND OF

  • SHOOTING FROM THE HIP FOREIGN

  • POLICY.

  • REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING THAT THE

  • PRESIDENT SAID IF YOU ATTACK

  • AMERICANS OR AMERICAN INTERESTS,

  • WE WILL PUNCH BACK AND THAT AS

  • OPPOSED TO PRESIDENT OBAMA,

  • REPUBLICANS WILL SAY, WHO DREW A

  • RED LINE AND DIDN'T ENFORCE IT,

  • THE PRESIDENT IS MAKING CLEAR HE

  • WILL.

  • STEVE: THAT'S RIGHT.

  • BRET, WE WERE WATCHING AN

  • INTERVIEW YOU DID WITH THE

  • SECRETARY OF STATE, MIKE POMPEO,

  • BACK IN APRIL.

  • AND FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY

  • HAD NEVER HEARD THE NAME OF

  • COMMANDER SULEMANI.

  • BUT ESSENTIALLY THE SECRETARY OF

  • STATE SAID HE WAS A TERRORIST,

  • AND NOW WE'VE LEARNED OF THE

  • HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS WHO HAVE

  • LOST THEIR LIVES AND THOUSANDS

  • WHO LOST A LIMB AT THE

  • OPERATIONS THAT HE ORCHESTRATED.

  • GOING FORWARD, HOW MANY THERE IN

  • WASHINGTON, HOW MANY MEMBERS OF

  • CONGRESS ARE GOING TO CLAMOR FOR

  • SOME SORT OF AN EXPLANATION FROM

  • THE PRESIDENT ABOUT WHAT LEGAL

  • AUTHORITY HE HAD TO PULL THE

  • TRIGGER?

  • >> I THINK THERE'LL BE A LOT OF

  • THAT, THERE'LL BE A LOT OF

  • ASKING, YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENED

  • SPECIFICICALLY.

  • QASSEM SOLEIMANI FOR MANY YEARS,

  • I SPENT SOME TIME IN IRAQ WHERE

  • THESE IEDs, ROADSIDE BOMBS,

  • TOOK OUT HUNDREDS OF AMERICAN

  • SOLDIERS AND SERVICE PEOPLE.

  • AND AS YOU MENTIONED, WOUNDED

  • THOUSANDS.

  • HE WAS A BAD, BAD CHARACTER.

  • THE QUESTION IS WHAT COMES NEXT.

  • AND HOW DOES IRAN RESPOND.

  • WE'RE BEING TOLD, AND NOT ONLY

  • FROM U.S. OFFICIALS, BUT ALSO A

  • DIPLOMAT IN THE REGION, THAT

  • THIS WAS AN IMMINENT ATTACK IN

  • THE MAKING THAT WAS BEING BACKED

  • BY QASSEM SOLEIMANI AND THE

  • IRANIANS ON AMERICAN INTERESTS

  • WHETHER IT WAS THE U.S. EMBASSY

  • OR OTHER INTERESTS.

  • AND ALSO REMEMBER THAT IRAN DID

  • ATTACK THAT SAUDI FACILITY AND

  • DID OTHER THINGS THAT HADN'T

WAS KILLED LAST NIGHT.
