iran funded by money that we essentially handed them as part of the nuclear deal. i want to remind people of what happened with iraq when barack obama declared victory, if you will, and withdrew from iraq. that gave rise to isis. so if it s not even the islamic state, it could be a another terrorist organization. lisa: also important to point out under the trump administration why have seen escalation and decrease of isis s foot hold exponentially under the trump administration because he has empowered our commanders on the ground to make decisions in a way that president obama did not. the numbers had changed very significantly. under the trump administration. dagen: let s see if president trump listens to his military leaders now. they don t want to leave. harris: we ll move on. china retaliating with new tariffs on scores of u.s. products less than 24 hours after president trump unveiled a list of chinese imports that he aims to target. the effect on the markets as some worr
of some of the trump rhetoric, trump administration rhetoric. harris: i don t think that s what is driving the fear. maria: it s driving some of it they say. harris: where some politicians go and try to figure out aspect what they want to fight not based on facts. here are facts, you don t have to answer any question on the census. when you answer you better be honest. they can prosecute you if you lie. only question they expect to you answer is how many people are in your house there are going to be a lot of questions on that census guide. skip the ones you don t want to answer. that s what lawyers are saying. dagen: by the way i know this firsthand. this isn t a political talking point. census bureau workers because i was in the household survey used to calculate the unemployment rate three years ago. the census worker who showed up at my apartment was telling me very hard to count immigrants in this country, even legal immigrants because they will never open the door. it is
