america great again. so this ad if you haven t seen it it s everything we ve come to expect from donald. it s understated, thoughtful. it says trump will cut the head off isis, it doubles down on his plan to ban muslims from coming in to the country. trump is still the front-runner among republicans. we re finally in the election year. things are still very much up for grabs. only thing we know at this point about the republican nomination is that we shouldn t let steve harvey announce the winner. he had a great idea. these guys are in front of me. hold on a second. these guys that feel like they can go take over federal buildings, we have a great idea. why don t we send the chicago police department out there. right? see how they handle them. just send them out. again, like i said i m wondering, i m sorry if you re a black guy, right,
words between marco rubio and ted cruz heats up as well. here s rubio yesterday. we have isolationist candidates who apparently more passionate about weakening our military and intelligence capabilities than they are about destroying our enemies. they talk tough. yet they would strip us of the ability to keep our people safe. words and political stunts can t ensure our security. isis cannot be filibustered. while some claim they would destroy isis make the sands of the middle east glow-in-the-dark my question is with what? because they can t do it with the oldest and smallest air force we ever had. if isis had lobbyists in washington they would hatch spent millions to support the anti-intelligence law that was just passed with the help of some republicans now running for president. when i m president, we re not is going to violate the civil lie
each other because they want to be the last one standing. they are willing to link one another to isis in service of the idea they would be the one standing at the end. what s risky about that, it s the most messed up example of game theory. all of these folks think i got to be the last one standing when trump fades so i ll take each other out. no one has an incentive to coalesce or let s be nice to each other and focus on trump. they see there s no incentive in fighting trump and the incentive is in fighting each other. can any of you wise men or women sitting at this table think of a time four weeks away from the first vote for a presidential election none of the candidates is going after the front-runner. they ve taken for granted at this point it s not worth it to go after him. that s the genius of a strategy that i didn t
mounting wave of tension between the sunni block that you just mentioned of now kuwait, bahrain which is led by a sunni monarchy, saudi arabia, sudan, uae against iraq. this is unexpected diplomatic problem. a big problem for the white house. a big problem for the strategy against isis. a big problem for finding a solution to the syrian conflict. richard engel, thank you very much. joining us now on the set, the president and founder of eurasia group, ian bremer. so, we heard richard say this was a surprise development but at the same time we ve been hearing around this table for three years a continued expansion of iran s power spreading across the region, and you also have had a united
an impossible question to answer and know for sure but with the executions were they more aimed at sending a message to iran or to isis? they were mostly aimed at sending a message to the saudi people because the saudi government now has had they just came from austerity in their budget. they are reducing their subsidys at home. the message being we are true believers. that s what i said about the isis part. more about isis or more about iran. this is more about they killed 47. 46 of them are sunni attached to al qaeda, attached to isis or so they say. obviously the round up was big. remember they rounded up hundreds and arrested and we weren t complaining then. they killed the one shi ite. like the chinese they go after local corruption and get some americans. this was mostly a domestic message which makes this worse. if this was just sending a
