YOU'RE LOOKING AT LIVE VIDEO

FROM IRAN STATE TV SHOWING MOURN

ERS, AND IRAN AS THE

FUNERAL PROCESSION FOR QASSEM

SOLEIMANI IS HAPPENING

RIGHT NOW AND PRESIDENT TRUMP

ISSUING A WARNING TO IRAQ BY THE

WAY AND IRAN FOLLOWING THREATS

BY THOSE TWO COUNTRY AGAINST OUR

COUNTRY.

>> STEVE: THE PRESIDENT TOLD

REPORTERS ON AIR FORCE ONE ABOUT

IRAN.

"THEY'RE ALLOWED TO KILL OUR

PEOPLE AND TORTURE OUR PEOPLE

AND ALLOWED TO USE ROADSIDE

BOMBS AND BLOW UP OUR PEOPLE AND

WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH THEIR

CULTURAL SITE.

IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY."

AINSLEY: IRAQ'S PARLIAMENT

VOTING TO REMOVE U.S. TROOPS

FROM THE COUNTRY.

THEY SAY THAT THEY WILL FACE

SANCTIONS AND THE PRESIDENT SAYS

GO FACE SANCTIONS IF THAT DOES

HAPPEN SO LET'S BRING IN

KELLYANNE CONWAY COUNSELOR TO

THE PRESIDENT, GOOD MORNING TO

YOU, KELLYANNE.

>> CORNING.

AINSLEY: SO WHAT IS YOUR

REACTION TO THAT OR WHAT'S THE

PRESIDENT'S REACTION?

>> WELL THE PRESIDENT KNOWS HE

WAS ON SOLID GROUND,

CONSTITUTIONALLY, LEGALLY

STRATEGICALLY, TO HAVE TAKEN OUT

ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST-KNOWN

MOST BLOOD-THIRSTY AND BRUTAL

TERRORIST AND THE WORLD IS SAFER

BECAUSE SOLEIMANI IS NOW DEAD.

THIS PRESIDENT WAITED THREE

YEARS.

WE'VE HAD SOLEIMANI IN OUR SIGHT

S FOR JUST AS LONG AS WE'VE

BEEN HERE, OBVIOUSLY PREVIOUS

ADMINISTRATIONS DID AS WELL, BUT

I'D LIKE TO QUOTE NONE OTHER

THAN FORMER DHS SECRETARY UNDER

PRESIDENT OBAMA, JEH JOHNSON WHO

YESTERDAY SAID THE PRESIDENT AS

COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF HAS AMPLE

DOMESTIC LEGAL AUTHORITY TO HAVE

TAKEN THIS LAWFUL MILITARY

OBJECTIVE TO EXECUTE ON THE

LAWFUL MILITARY OBJECTIVE AND

YOU'VE GOT FORMER HEAD OF

COMMAND AND FORMER CIA DIRECTOR

YESTERDAY, SAYING THAT YOU

CANNOT OVERSTATE THE

SIGNIFICANCE, OF TAKING OUT

SOLEIMANI AND THAT WHEN HE WAS

OVER THERE, WITH OUR TROOP, WE

DIDN'T SEE MUCH OF SOLEIMANI.

HE'S BEEN MORE BRAZEN AND BEEN

MORE VISIBLE AND HE GOT CAUGHT

IN THE ACT.

HE GOT CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

WE'VE GOT AMERICANS, LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN, WE'VE GOT AMERICANS

WHO HAVE BURIED THEIR SONS AND

DAUGHTERS, BECAUSE SOLEIMANI HAS

EXECUTED.

WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF OTHER

AMERICANS MAIMED AND INJURED

SOME DEVASTATINGLY FOR PERMANENT

INJURIES BECAUSE OF SOLEIMANI SO

I'M A LITTLE SICK ALREADY OF

HERO WORSHIP IT SEEMS OF

SOLEIMANI FOR SOME PEOPLE THAT

JUST CAN'T GET OVER THE FACT

THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT CALL BY

OUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.

>> STEVE: KELLYANNE WHAT DO

YOU MAKE OF THE FACT THAT WITHIN

THE LAST 90 MINUTES OR SO

SENATOR SCHUMER AND MENENDEZ

HAVE SENT OVER TO THE WHITE

HOUSE A LETTER TELLING THE

PRESIDENT TO DECLASSIFY THE WAR

POWERS AUTHORIZATION LETTER THAT

HE SENT TO CONGRESS, AND THEY

SAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO

KNOW WHAT THE JUSTIFICATION WAS

FOR PULLING THE TRIGGER ON THAT

GUY.

>> THAT'S A PARTISAN ACTION BY

SCHUMER AND MENENDEZ AND THEY

KNOW BETTER.

THEY'VE BEEN IN THE SENATE FOR A

LONG TIME, FAR TOO LONG FRANKLY

FOR EACH OF THEM.

THEY KNOW THAT BEGINNING THIS

WEEK THERE WILL BE CONGRESSIONAL

BRIEFINGS, AND THEY'RE NOT

RESTRICTED.

I'M INFORMED, TO PEOPLE WHO ARE

JUST IN THE INTELLIGENCE

COMMITTEE, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE

INFORMATION.

THEY KNOW THAT THE PENTAGON WILL

BE BRIEFING CONGRESS PRIVATELY

IN THE DUE COURSE SO THAT'S JUST

A PARTISAN MOVE AS WAS THEIR

IMPEACHMENT.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S BIPARTISAN?

BIPARTISAN IS THE CREDIT THAT

THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IS

GETTING FOR TAKING THIS ACTION

AGAINST BLOOD-THIRSTY MURDERER

SOLEIMANI.

BIPARTISAN IS THE OPPOSITION TO

THE IMPEACHMENT AND I JUST CAN'T

BELIEVE THAT EVEN NOW, WHEN I'M

OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THAT

FOREIGN POLICY IS SUPPOSED TO

STOP AT THE PARTISANSHIP,

FOREIGN POLICY IS SUPPOSED TO BE

DEVOID OF POLITICS BUT THIS IS A

TOWN NOW THAT IS SO INCREDIBLY

PARTISAN WHEN IT COMES TO

PRESIDENT TRUMP, THEY ARE

NEGATIVE, AND CRITICAL, EVEN

WHEN HE'S TAKING OUT A TERRORIST

, WHO IS CAUGHT IN THE

ACT TO CONTINUE TO MURDER MORE

AMERICANS AND THIS PRESIDENT PUT

A STOP TO THAT.

>> BRIAN: I WANT YOU TO HEAR

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS SAID OVER THE

WEEKEND ESPECIALLY AS NEWS CAME

OUT ABOUT THE STRIKE ON FRIDAY.

>> HIS ACTIONS NOW PUT US ON

THE PATH TO ANOTHER WAR.

HE'S BEEN ERRATIC AND

UNSUCCESSFUL IN ALMOST EVERY

PREVIOUS FOREIGN POLICY ENDEAVOR

THIS ONE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS

OF ALL.

WE ARE NOT SAFER TODAY THAN WE

WERE BEFORE DONALD TRUMP ACTED.

>> WE SEEM TO HAVE ACCOMPLISHED

WHAT SOLEIMANI WAS TRYING TO DO

BUT COULDN'T SO IN DEATH HE'S

ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED HIS GOAL.

>> IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA UNLESS

YOU'RE READY FOR WHAT COMES NEXT

>> THIS IS AND WAS AN ENORMOUS

ESCALATION.

>> BRIAN: SO THAT'S WHAT THEY

THINK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT

THEY THINK?

>> WELL WHO CAN BLAME THEM BUT

I'M NOT GOING TO BE LECTURED BY

PEOPLE WHO VOTED AFFIRMATIVELY

TO FORK OVER $130 BILLION IN

CASH TO IRAN WHICH HELPS TO FUND

THE FORCE.

I DON'T THINK IT WENT TO

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WOMEN'S

FREEDOM AND LIBERATION IN IRAN

DO YOU?

AND SO I'M NOT LECTURED BY THEM

AND CERTAINLY BY PEOPLE WHO ARE

WEAK ON FOREIGN POLICY LIKE

BERNIE SANDERS AND ELIZABETH

WARREN.

I MEAN SHE WAS RIDICULOUS

YESTERDAY IN TERMS OF THE

PROJECTING WEAKNESS, SHE JUST

WANTS THIS COUNTRY TO BE WEAK

WHEN IT COMES TO FOREIGN POLICY.

>> BRIAN: SHE SAYS THE

PRESIDENT WANTED TO TAKE

IMPEACHMENT OFF THE TABLE.

>> IT GIVES NO CREDIBILITY.

IF YOU'RE ELIZABETH WARREN AND

SINKING IN THE POLLS AND

FUNDRAISING AND SOMEBODY WAS THE

MAYOR OF A SMALL MIDWESTERN TOWN

AND YOU'RE LOSING TO BERNIE

SANDERS, YOUR CO-SOCIALISTIC, TO

A VICE PRESIDENT WHO SHOULD BE

FORCED TO EAT THE CHAOS AND THE

IRANIAN POLICY, THAT WE

INHERITED AND IS OUT THERE

LECTURING HOW IT ESCALATED I'M

WITH FORMER CIA DIRECTOR AND

DEFENSE SECRETARY BOB GATES, HE

SAYS VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS

BEEN ON THE WRONG SIDE OF MAJOR

FOREIGN POLICY DECISIONS FOR

DECADES AND HE'S CERTAINLY ON

THE WRONG SIDE OF THE IRANIAN

ONES AND SECRETARY POMPEO IS

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

WE'RE CLEANING UP THE MESS WE

INHERITED BUT PART OF THAT IS

ALLOWING PEOPLE LIKE SOLEIMANI

TO REIGN FREE, AND TO EXECUTE

HIS REIGN ON TERROR, NOT JUST ON

AMERICANS BUT ON OTHERS AND

THAT'S WHY THIS PRESIDENT HAS

SPOKEN WITH BORIS JOHNSON, WITH

EMMANUEL MACRON MORE RECENTLY,

SECRETARY POMPEO ANNOUNCED HE

WOULD LIKE MORE HELP FROM OUR

ALLIES IN EUROPE BUT THIS IS

HELPFUL TO THE ENTIRE WORLD AND

I'M DISAPPOINTED BUT NOT

SURPRISED THE DEMOCRATS WHO SEE

IN THIS MOMENT OF SOLEIMANI'S

DEATH SOME KIND OF PARTISAN

POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM,

BUT I THINK IT DOESN'T PLAY WELL

WITH AMERICANS AND THEY SEE THAT

SOLEIMANI ARE NOW WHERE THEY

BELONG AND THEY CAN NO LONGER

KILL AMERICANS AND OTHER PEOPLE

AROUND THE WORLD.

>> BRIAN: THEY CALL THEM WEAK

AFTER THE EMBASSY RAID, AND NOW

THEY ARE CALLING HIM WRECKLESS

AFTER THE SOLEIMANI STRIKE.

IT'S LIKE YOU CAN'T WIN.

>> AND PROTOTYPE PRESIDENT

DOESN'T HAVE A STRATEGY.

NUMBER ONE, YOU'LL FORK OVER

BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF CASH.

THAT WAS A POSITION OF WEAKNESS

AND APPEASEMENT AND THAT IS A

DISGRACE AND WE'RE CLEANING UP

FOR THAT THAT'S THE OBAMA/BIDEN

POLICY.

NUMBER TWO IS WE'VE GOT

SANCTIONS ON IRAN, AND ALSO THE

OTHER STRATEGY IS YOU TAKE OUT
