it would surprise me because if there's rarely regime were to strike iran iran would strike back much harder and israel is a very small compared to ron so the their vulnerability would be much greater iran has a very powerful missile defense capability as the americans discovered a few months ago after they murder general sunday money so i don't expect israelis to carry out an attack because they simply don't have that sort of capability to hit iran hard and they would be buried by novelty iran's response the americans can potentially strike iran but again the iranians would hit back hard and i think that since the united states is so deeply divided i don't see how trumpet benefit someone it's an attack because under ordinary circumstances when the united states attacks countries unfortunately when they carry out acts of aggression many people rally behind the president but i think that trump does not have that capability if he makes any move against iran i think his critics and opponents will immediately call him out and it will hurt him more than anyone else so i think the situation

and that is what the iran deal was. and when donald trump came along vowing to undo that because he realized the threat that it was to american sovereignty and security -- not to mention the fact that it's an insult to everything that america stands for -- it was, i think it was more than they could handle. i think it was one of a handful of huge reasons why the remnants of the obama administration sought to overturn the 2016 election as soon as donald trump took over. elizabeth: you know, charles, let's listen to walid phares. he was a -- he's now a fox news contributor. he advised mitt romney's 2012 campaign and also, of course, donald trump's campaign and republicans in congress for years. he's long been a critic of iran for its support for terrorism as well as the muslim brotherhood in egypt. let's listen here. >> in my view, the push against the trump campaign and then transition and then administration was on behalf of those who wanted to defend the iran deal, to protect the interest of the iran deal. elizabeth: y

iran is a bad actor. they're a dangerous actor in the area and i wish that russia and china would take more attention to what the u.s. interests are but, i'm not surprised quite frankly. elizabeth: all right. congresswoman lesko thanks so much for joining us. come back soon. >> thank you. >> coming up we're going to drill down further into the republican probe and the durham probe on trump russia collusion probe abuses by the, under the obama administration. also the statements from jim comey, peter strzok and lisa page that the fbi knew by early 2017 it did not have a case for trump russia collusion before robert mueller was appointed special counsel anyway. why do democrats and media go all out on this? ag barr is drilling down hard on this. which have the story next. the chase mobile app, your bank can be virtually any place. so, when you get a check... you can deposit it from here. and you can see your transactions and check your balance from here. you can detect suspicious activity on your account fr
