MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT THE ATTACKS WOULD BE COMING FROM PROXIES INSIDE IRAQ. THE CHOICE OF THOSE TWO BASES IS INTERESTING. ONE WAS AL-ASAD, THE OTHER WAS THE KURDISH CAPITAL. IS THIS A SIGNAL? IS THIS THE MESSAGE? THE KURDS WERE SUPPORTING THE U.S. >> Tucker: IF YOU ARE IRAN AND YOU WANT TO INFLICT MAXIMUM DAMAGE, YOU HAVE TO HIT A DIFFERENT BASE? >> AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER. IT'S CLOSER TO IRAN. I'M READING THROUGH THE TEA LEAVES. WE WILL SEE WHAT THE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT IS, BUT IF AS REPORTED THAT NO U.S. CASUALTIES, WE DON'T KNOW IF THE IRAQIS TOOK CASUALTIES AT EITHER ONE OF THESE BASES. I THINK WHAT YOU ARE SEEING HERE FROM THE SOURCES ON THE GROUND IN BAGHDAD COULD BE MORE ABOUT THE IRANIAN SHIA MILITIAS THAT SUPPORT IRAN, THAT MAY BE ACTIVE INSIDE BIG INSIDE BAGHDAD. >> Tucker: HOW IS THIS, AND AGAIN, THIS IS MOVING EVEN AS WE SPEAK, BUT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN TELL NOW, HOW IS THAT BREAKING DOWN? >> I THINK WE HAVE YET TO SEE. I THINK THAT THIS IS THE BIGGEST TEST FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP AS A LEADER. IT IS BY FAR HIS BIGGEST TEST. AS YOU KNOW, HE CAMPAIGNED ON GETTING OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST, OF BRINGING TROOPS HOME. THIS IS HIS MOMENT TO DECIDE HOW FAR TO PUSH THIS, WHAT THE RESPONSE IS, AND WHAT THAT RESPONSE WILL BE WILL DICTATE HOW THE REST OF THE WORLD REACTS. AS FAR AS THE POLITICS, IT WILL CHANGE THE DEMOCRATIC RACE SIGNIFICANTLY. YOU'VE SEEN BERNIE SANDERS GO FAR HARD ON THIS ISSUE. JOE BIDEN IS TRYING TO RIDE THE RAILS. BUT HE HAS HIS OWN ISSUES ABOUT THE DON MIKE WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION DID WITH IRAN AND THE PAIN OF MONEY TO IRANIAN OFFICIALS. IT'S NOT CUT AND DRY. >> Tucker: IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT. AS HARD AS SOMEONE WATCHING THIS WHO IS NOT COVERING POLITICS FULL TIME AS YOU ARE, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE DEMOCRATS ARE ALL THE WAY ON ONE SIDE OR REPUBLICANS ONE SIDE OF THE OTHER. IT'S MORE CONFUSING THAN THAT. >> OH, 100%. THE FACT THAT WE ARE IN AN ELECTION YEAR AND WE ARE THREE AND A HALF WEEKS AWAY FROM THE IOWA CAUCUSES, MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE NEXT STEPS IN IRAQ ON THE GROUND, AND WHETHER THOSE TARGETS INSIDE IRAN, MAY BE, THAT SHOT THOSE MISSILES, WILL BE ON THE SIDE OF U.S. >> Tucker: IS IT CLEAR, I HATE TO USE THE TERM TALKING POINTS, BUT IF YOU WERE TO SIT DOWN WITH THE PRESIDENT OR ONE OF HIS ADVISORS AND SAY, WHAT'S OUR PLAN GOING FORWARD, IS IT CLEAR WHAT THE ANSWER WOULD BE? BECAUSE THAT'S THE PURPOSE. IF AND WHEN HE DOES IT, IT WILL BE A CLEAR, HERE'S WHERE WE ARE, THIS IS WHAT I'M THINKING. NOTICE WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM THE GANG OF EIGHT OR ANYONE ON CAPITOL HILL AS THEY WERE BRIEFED BY OFFICIALS. IT'S EXPECTED TO BE BRIEFED TOMORROW ON THE INTELLIGENCE THAT LED TO TAKING OUT SOLEIMAN SOLEIMANI. I THINK THERE IS HEAVY SKEPTICISM UP ON CAPITOL HILL AND IN DIFFERENT CORNERS. MAYBE THAT'S WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS GOING TO ADDRESS. >> Tucker: HE IS GOING TO ADDRESS WHY HE DID IT. >> YEAH, AND NEXT STEPS. THIS IS THE MOMENT WHERE THE COUNTRY IS GOING TO WANT TO KNOW WHERE ARE WE GOING FROM HERE. THE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT, BY NOW, THEY HAVE A DECENT SENSE OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE GROUND. >> Tucker: SO, I KNOW YOU ARE NOT IN THE EDITORIALIZING BUSINESS, BUT TELL ME IF YOU CAN CONFIRM THIS INSTINCT. MY SENSE IS THAT THE PRESIDENT IS NOT INTERESTED IN SOME SORT OF WAR WITH IRAN, CERTAINLY NOT A GROUND WAR. HIS INSTINCTS ARE RESTRAINT. IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SENSING OR HEARING? >> POLICY WISE. WHAT HE CAMPAIGNED ON, THAT'S WHAT HE SUGGESTS. WHAT HE SAYS VERBALLY ABOUT BEING TOUGH AGAINST IRAN, WHAT HE TWEETS OUT SENDS A DIFFERENT MESSAGE. WHETHER HIS RHETORIC MATCHES UP WITH WHAT THE POLICY DECISION IS GOING TO BE TONIGHT, I THINK IT IS THE KEY MOMENT FOR THIS PRESIDENT TO BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. >> Tucker: DO YOU THINK WE ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM THE PRESIDENT TONIGHT? >> I WOULD GUESS THAT WE WOULD, BECAUSE IT'S THAT BIG OF A MOMENT. LISTEN, HAVING COVERED THE PENTAGON FOR A LONG TIME, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES. THERE'S ALL KINDS OF TARGETS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN CHOSEN. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER WE ARE GOING TO STEP TO THAT NEXT LEVEL AND WHAT OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS. >> Tucker: THIS BEING WASHINGTON AND WASHINGTON BEEN FUNDAMENTALLY BUREAUCRATIC, A LOT OF EMPLOYEES WERE SENT HOME TODAY. ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. >> IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. AT 1:00, IT WAS A GHOST TOWN. THERE WAS NO ONE THERE. THE PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICE APPARENTLY WAS CLOSED DOWN.
