ELIZABETH WARREN SAYING THAT THE

STRIKE HAD LITTLE TO DO WITH

NATIONAL SECURITY AND EVERYTHING

TO DO WITH IMPEACHMENT.

WATCH.

>> WE'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR

YEARS.

WHY NOT A MONTH AGO, WHY NOT A

MONTH FROM NOW?

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I RAISED

JUST RIGHT AFTER THIS CAME OUT,

DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO

WITH THE FACT THAT DONALD TRUMP

IS RIGHT ON THE EVE OF AN

IMPEACHMENT HEARING?

>> Martha: DEMOCRATS BLAMED

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S DECISION TO

KILL A SOLEIMANI FOR THE CRASH

OF THE UKRAINIAN AIRPLANE THAT

OFFICIALS RECENTLY BELIEVE THAT

WAS TAKEN DOWN BY A IRANIAN

MISSILE.

WATCH.

>> THIS IS YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE

OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE FROM THE

ACTIONS THAT HAD BEEN TAKEN IN A

PROVOCATIVE WAY BY THE PRESIDENT

OF THE UNITED STATES.

>> THIS IS ONE OF THESE

CONSEQUENCES OF THIS ESCALATION

AND THIS STATE OF WAR THAT WE

ARE IN.

>> Martha: WE BEGIN TO MATE

PROVOKING CONGRESSMAN DAN

CRENSHAW FROM TEXAS, FORMER

NAVY SEAL WHO SERVED IN IRAQ AND

AFGHANISTAN AND SERVES ON THE

HOUSE HOMELAND COMMITTEE.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

LET ME GO BACKWARDS WITH SOME OF

THE POINTS THAT WE JUST MADE

STARTING WITH CONGRESS WOMAN

TULSI GABBARD WHO SAYS, THIS IS

THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE OF THE

STATE OF WAR WE ARE IN.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?

>> THAT DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING.

WHAT DOES SHE MEAN BY THAT?

STATE OF WAR WE ARE IN?

WE ARE NOT AT WAR WITH IRAN.

WE ARE NOT.

THE DEMOCRATS KNOW THAT IF THEY

KEEP USING THE STRAWMAN

ARGUMENT.

DON'T SEND US TO WAR.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO WAR X MAKE

THIS PRESIDENT HAS NO INTENT OF

GOING TO WAR.

THERE IS NOT THIS FALSE CHOICE

BETWEEN DOING NOTHING AND NOT

GETTING PUNCHED IN THE FACE,

LETTING AMERICAN CITIZENS DIE,

GOING THE FULL SCALE WAR.

THERE ARE OPTIONS IN BETWEEN.

TAKING OUT THE GUY WHO'S

RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT ATTACK AND

REESTABLISHING OUR DETERRENCE.

I'M TIRED OF THESE FALSE TALKING

POINTS AND SLOGAN NEAR-IJ

SLOGANNERRING.

>> Martha: GOES ON TO TALK

ABOUT WHAT OTHER ATTACKS COULD

HAPPEN.

WHERE WE ARE IN THIS WHOLE

THING.

>> THAT'S FAIR.

WE SHOULD NEVER BE ULTIMATELY

OVER OPTIMISTIC.

BUT WITH ALL THE FACTS WE HAVE

NOW, IT DOES APPEAR THAT WE'VE

REESTABLISHED TO TERRENCE IN A

PRETTY EFFECTIVE WAY.

WE FORCED HIM TO RECALCULATE,

JOINED DOMINIC DRAWN VERY CLEAR

REDLINES.

I SAW THAT CLIP FROM

ELIZABETH WARREN ABOUT, WHY NOW?

OKAY, I'VE GOT AN ANSWER FOR

YOU.

THE REASON WHY NOW IS BECAUSE

SOLEIMANI JUST ORCHESTRATED AN

ATTACK ON OUR EMBASSIES, KILLED

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, AND WE HAVE

VERY GOOD INTEL FROM THE CIA,

FROM THE DNI, CHAIRMAN OF THE

JOINT CHIEF OF STAFF'S, SOME OF

THE BEST INTEL THEY'VE EVER SEEN

THAT THERE WAS AN IMMINENT

ATTACK COMING WITHIN DAYS.

ELIZABETH WARREN, THAT IS WHY.

>> Martha: I WAS GOING TO ASK

YOU THE ANSWER TO THAT.

IN TERMS OF JACKIE SPEIER'S,

CONGRESS WOMAN SPEIER, SHE

SUGGESTS THAT THE ACTIONS THE

PRESIDENT TOOK, MORE OF THE

REASON FOR THIS TRAGIC CRASH OF

THIS JET, 176 PEOPLE KILLED,

MORE SO THAN THE IRANIAN MISSILE

THAT THE DECISION WAS MADE TO

SEND THE IRANIAN MISSILE OR A

SYSTEM THAT WAS JUST SEEKING

ANYTHING THAT WAS IN COMING.

>> THAT SUCH A DISGUSTING AND

DEPLORABLE ACCUSATION AND I'M

RELUCTANT TO EVEN ADDRESS IT,

BUT WE HAVE TO BECAUSE, YOU

KNOW, THEY KEEP SAYING IT.

PETE BUTTIGIEG THE PRESIDENTIAL

CANDIDATE SAID SOMETHING

SIMILAR, THE IMPLICATION WAS

SIMILAR.

SOMEHOW THIS IS OUR FAULT?

THIS RELIES ON A FALSE PREMISE

THAT HISTORY BEGINS WITH

DONALD TRUMP'S ACTIONS, THE

DEMOCRATS OFTEN BELIEVE THIS

PAIR THEY DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE

THAT IRAN HAS A LONG HISTORY OF

ESCALATIONS, RIGHT?

THEY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP

STARTED THIS FIGHT.

THEY DID NOT WANT TO LOOK BACK

AT HISTORY SINCE 1979.

SINCE THE JCPOA WAS SIGNED, THEY

TESTED MULTIPLE NUCLEAR CAPABLE

MISSILES SINCE THEY QUADRUPLED

FUNDING TO HEZBOLLAH WHO HAS

DOUBLED THEIR OWN FUNDING TO THE

EYE RGC BECAUSE THEY INSTIGATED

MULTIPLE CIVIL WARS, THE LIST

GOES ON.

THEY KILLED AN AMERICAN CITIZEN,

COME ORCHESTRATED AN ATTACK

AGAINST OUR EMBASSY PRAYER THEY

WANT TO IGNORE ALL THAT AND WHEN

WE FINALLY REACT, WHEN WE SAY

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, WE ARE THE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WE

WILL NOT LET THIS STAND, THE

DEMOCRATS WRING THEIR HANDS AND

LOOK TO BLAME THE UNITED STATES.

WHEN THE IRANIANS MAKE A VERY

TRAGIC MISTAKE AND IT IS AN

EXTREMELY TRAGIC -- IT REALLY IS

THAT THEY DOWN THEIR OWN

AIRLINER.

WE KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED.

BUT TO BLAME US FOR THAT IS SO

ABSURD AND FRANKLY IMMORAL AND

THEY KNOW IT.

GOD!

I'M ABSOLUTELY SICK OF THIS.

IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS WAY.

WE SHOULD BE UNIFIED.

EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS SHOULD

BE CALLING FOR FREE IRAN.

THE IRANIAN PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKE

US THEN YOU REALIZE.

THE REGIME IS SO EVIL BUT THESE

PEOPLE WANT FREEDOM.

1500 OF THEM GAVE THEIR LIVES

FIGHTING THAT REGIME NOT TOO

LONG AGO.

THEY ARE NOT UNIFIED IN THEIR

MORE EMBOLDENED AGAINST THE

REGIME AND THEY ARE MORE

INVOLVED AND IF THEY WOULD

ACTUALLY ACT LIKE THE FREEDOM

LOVING PEOPLE THAT I KNOW WE ARE

IN SUPPORT THEM WITH MORAL
