iphone 7 is here headphone jack is out, what else is in? good afternoon, everyone. we re going to begin today with our politics lead. peace through strength. that is how donald trump started a majoruation national security speech. immediately after taking office, the g.o.p. says they will have 30 days to quickly defeat isis. those of you paying attention know that the claim is at odd odds with previous trump pronouncements. he says he knows about isis than the generals do and a foolproof plan to destroy the terrorist group. in june trump said the generals don t know much and now the generals have to come up with a new plan. did mr. trump elaborate at all on how, under a trump administration he would destroy isis? not with too much specificity other than the call for generals to come up with a new plan within 30 days of him taking over. he say it s will require cyber, financial, and side ideological efforts. she is trigger happy and unstable. whether we like it it
