so, even if there was some penetration you find isis and al qaeda pretty good, bridge the gap to avoid this from happening again. that poses one of the risks they have to take. another isis fighter could easily step into the position that jihadi john filled. being the murderous face of these horrific beheadings isis carries out. what do you think of how high priority this attack was when you weigh the risk? they re going to learn from an attack like this as well. zero risk. the risk in this case is ensuring you have a shot that has minimal prospect of killing innocents, especially women and children. and obviously heightening the probability you are killing the person you think it is. in this case, jihadi john. the risk he ll be replaced to me is zero for the following reason. when you re sitting there trying to determine what to do in the
reasons. number one, the political and legal reason. the british prime minister is out there saying, they will not only support u.s. attacks, they will work jointly with the united states, with the u.s. military, to target and kill a british citizen overseas without a legal process beyond the prime minister s office. the same thing president obama did when he authorized the killing of anwar al awalki. the second i find fascinating. this is not an operational success. jihadi john is not the leader of isis. i personally don t think he was operationally significant. this is a psychological success. the bottom line is, this is a message. if you go, there s a chance you re never going to come home alive. isis deals in symbolism as well. now the coalition battling isis, part of that.

and distract it with all of this nonsense. i think we re talking about it. we all well know let s be honest, how cue not be talking about it when you see something like that? exactly. but let s be honest. it s not that donald trump knows how the media works. this is how anybody would anyone would be talking about because no one has seen a candidate do that on the campaign trail. right, right. that s just the way it is. great to see you guys. thank you. coming up for us, even so even before donald trump was unplugged last night, the republican establishment was reportedly panicking that trump and carson continue to dominate in the polls. and they re so worried, some are even floating the idea of drafting mitt romney to run. that s ahead. plus, the breaking news this morning. the u.s. targeting jihadi john. the face many say of isis. a drone strike, did it kill him? this as surviving bomber of a suicide attack in lebanon makes a big admission about isis.
