EMILY COMPAGNO (CO-HOST): In a nexus between this conversation and our prior one, I think, respectfully to the president, it is a travesty that the security detail of Secretary of State Michael Pompeo was deactivated. I think it's a travesty that after they swore retribution, additional retribution, against all of our officials, including Mike Pompeo, for the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, additional retribution in September 2020 — we talk about where our tax dollars go. It is not about extinguishing expenditures altogether; it is about the appropriate stewardship. And as we warn Iran about the might that the United States of America is, that includes a protection around our elected officials and our patriots who have saved American lives by taking bold steps against those terrorist thugs and against a terrorist, dictatorial state. So to me, I hope, Mr. President, you reinstate the security detail among others.
