ALERT THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.

LELAND: A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT

HOW PEOPLE HERE AT HOME ARE

RESPONDING TO THE STRIKE.

TALK SHOW HOST FROM LOUISVILLE,

KENTUCKY, LELAND CONWAY.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, AS ALWAYS, MY

FRIEND.

WE'LL PUT THIS TWEET UP, WE GOT

THIS FROM ROSE McGOWAN

YESTERDAY.

DEAR IRAN, THE USA HAS

DISRESPECTED YOUR COUNTRY, YOUR

FLAG, YOUR PEOPLE.

52% OF US HUMBLY APOLOGIZE.

WE WANT PEACE WITH YOUR NATION.

WE'RE BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY A

TERRORIST REGIME.

PLEASE DO NOT KILL US, HASHTAG

SULEMANI.

SHE HAS SINCE WALKED THAT BACK,

AS ONE MIGHT IMAGINE, WITH THIS

REPORTED BY THE DAILY MAIL.

QUOTE: I HAD A FLASHBACK TO

BEING AT THE UNITED NATIONS

CAFETERIA WITH MY FRIEND IF WHO

WAS A LAWYER THERE FOR THE U.N.,

AND IT WAS THE SAME DAY THAT

COLIN POWELL WAS DELIVERING HIS

FAKE WMD TESTIMONY AT THE U.N.

THIS IS WHAT SHE TOLD THE AP.

HOW THOSE TWO ARE RELATED OR

EXPLAINS THE TWEET, I DON'T

KNOW.

CAN YOU FIGURE IT OUT?

[LAUGHTER]

>> NO.

I MEAN, SERIOUSLY, I TURN TO

HOLLYWOOD FOR ALL OF MY

POLITICAL COMMENTARY THESE DAYS.

WHAT DO THEY ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT

WHAT AVERAGE AMERICANS ARE

FACING?

BETTER YET, I COME FROM A STATE

WHO HAS 302,000 VETERANS OUT OF

4 MILLION PEOPLE, ALMOST 10%

HAVE BEEN IN THE MILITARY AND

ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE ACTUALLY

SERVED IN THE IRAQ AND

AFGHANISTAN WAR AND HAVE FACED

THIS SITUATION.

I ALWAYS LOVE IT WHEN

CELEBRITIES LIKE TO WEIGH IN ON

THINGS LIKE POLITICS BECAUSE,

CLEARLY, SHE HAS A GOOD GRASP OF

HOW AMERICANS REACT.

I WAS RUSHING TO TRY TO WRITE

APOLOGIES TO IRAN FOR EVERYTHING

WE HAVE DONE TO THEM OVER THE

YEARS, IT'S RIDICULOUS.

LELAND: FORT CAMPBELL, KENTUCKY,

AMONG A LOT OF OTHER --

>> FORT KNOX.

LELAND: -- U.S. MILITARY

INSULATIONS.

YOUR LISTENERS, REASONABLE

PEOPLE CAN DISAGREE ON FOREIGN

POLICY DECISIONS.

WAS THERE A LOT OF DISAGREEMENT

YOU WERE GETTING ON THE AIR

YESTERDAY?

>> NO.

I THINK, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WHEN

YOU LISTEN TO SENATOR RAND PAUL

AND CONGRESSMAN THOMAS MASSIE

FROM KENTUCKY SPEAK, THEY

REPRESENT A PRETTY WIDE PORTION

OF THE PEOPLE IN THE STATE AND

ALSO IN MY LISTENER BASE.

THERE'S ACTUALLY A RECOGNITION

THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST

RESPONDED TO IRAN CROSSING A RED

LINE.

THERE'S A RECOGNITION OF THAT,

AND THERE'S A SENSE OF RELIEF

THAT WE HAVE A PRESIDENT NOW

WHO'S ACTUALLY GOING TO DO WHAT

HE SAYS HE'S GOING TO DO.

BUT THERE'S ALSO TREPIDATION,

AND THAT IS THAT BECAUSE WE DO

HAVE SO MANY VETERANS IN OUR

STATE, SO MANY PEOPLE IN OUR

STATE WHO HAVE SACRIFICED, SO

MANY WHO HAVE ACTUALLY GIVEN THE

ULTIMATE SACRIFICE, THERE'S A

QUESTION ABOUT WHAT'S THE PLAN

GOING FORWARD.

AND YOU HEAR SENATE RAND PAUL

TALKING ABOUT THAT AND

CONGRESSMAN MASSIE, AND HE

BROUGHT UP TO ME YESTERDAY ON MY

SHOW, CONGRESSMAN MASSEY DID,

THAT OUR EMBASSY IN IRAQ IS A

BILLION DOLLARS.

DOES THAT LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF

EMBASSY THAT ISN'T GOING TO BE

THERE VERY LONG IN TERMS OF JUST

THE SIZE, THE SCOPE AND SCALE --

LELAND: AND RAND PAUL SAYING,

ESSENTIALLY, THAT DIPLOMACY'S

DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS STRIKE.

IT'S IMPORTANT.

NOW WE LOOK FORWARD TO 20 AND

WHOEVER IS GOING TO BE -- 2020

AND WHOEVER IS GOING TO BE THE

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE WILL PROBABLY

BE TALKING ABOUT JUST THIS ISSUE

IN TERMS OF FOREIGN POLICY AND

WHETHER OR NOT PRESIDENT TRUMP

KEPT HIS PROMISES OR NOT.

HERE WAS OUR PETER DOOCY

QUESTIONING JOE BIDEN YESTERDAY

ON THE TRAIL ABOUT WHETHER HE

WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE SAME ORDER.

TAKE A LISTEN.

>> AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF IF YOU

WERE EVER HANDED A PIECE OF

INTELLIGENCE THAT SAID YOU CAN

STOP AN IMMINENT ATTACK ON

AMERICANS BUT YOU HAVE TO USE AN

AIRSTRIKE TO TAKE OUT A TERROR

LEADER, WOULD YOU PULL THE

TRIGGER?

>> WELL, WE DID.

THE GUY'S NAME'S OSAMA bin

LADEN.

>> DIDN'T YOU TELL PRESIDENT

OBAMA NOT TO GO OUT --

>> [INAUDIBLE]

LELAND: AND NOW WE WILL RUN THE

TAPE FROM 2012 THAT PETER WAS

BASING THAT QUESTION WITH OFF

OF.

TAKE A LISTEN.

>> MR. PRESIDENT, MY SUGGESTION

IS DON'T GO.

WE HAVE TO DO TWO MORE THINGS TO

SEE IF HE'S THERE.

LELAND: THAT WAS BIDEN TALKING

ABOUT THE DECISION PROCESS INTO

THE bin LADEN RAID.

DOES THESE MOVES BY PRESIDENT

TRUMP IN SENDING 3,000 PLUS

TROOPS NOW TO THE REGION OPEN

HIM UP TO ATTACKS FROM BIND OR

FROM -- BIDEN OR ANYBODY ELSE

SAYING YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING

TO GET US OUT OF ENDLESS WARS,

AND YOU JUST PUT, MADE A MAJOR

MOVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST OF

POTENTIALLY STARTING ONE WITH

IRAN.

>> I THINK WHAT'S INTERESTING IS

LOOKING AT WHAT THE DEMOCRATS

HAVE DONE IN RESPONSE TO THIS.

AND BIDEN MAY BE IN A LITTLE BIT

DIFFERENT SITUATION HAVING BEEN

VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA MADE

PARTICULAR TYPES OF STRIKES.

BUT WHEN I HEAR THE DEMOCRATS

JUMPING UP AND DOWN AND SAYING,

YOU KNOW, WE WANT, WE WANT PROOF

OR WE WANT THE AUTHORITY AND ALL

OF THIS, THE DEMOCRATS IN A

SENSE HAVE BEEN A BIG PART --

CONGRESS ITSELF, BOTH

REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS --

HAVE GIVEN THE PRESIDENT THE

AUTHORITY TO DO STUFF THAT THEY

NOW CAN STAND BACK AND SORT OF

CHEER FROM THE GALLERY OR JEER

FROM THE GALLERY.

THEY'RE KIND OF LIKE THOSE OLD

MEN FROM THE MUPPETS, THERE'S NO

DANGER TO THEM, YOU KNOW WHAT I

MEAN IN.

[LAUGHTER]

IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE THAT

BACK AND FORTH WITH THE

DEMOCRATS NOW THROWING POT SHOTS

AT THE PRESIDENT WHEN HE'S

ESSENTIALLY JUST BACKING UP WHAT

HE SAID.

THEY CROSSED A RED LINE, AND

HE'S FOLLOWING UP ON IT.
