further than al-qaeda to see that. they ve been going for 35 years now, and we ve taken out out heed arer after leader, and it makes leader after leader, and it makes no difference. that s not how we keep our country safe, by having 900 guys in the northeast of syria. we need to get those guys out of harm s way because there are much better ways to keep our country safe. pete: they ve certainly been made a target, no doubt, by iran because of their presence. just a quick follow-up on that, because i m intrigued. they may not be able to defeat isis, but the pentagon s argument would be they re preventing them from reconstituting into an operational force if there are 40-50,000 isis fighters in prisons in syria, and we leave, then maybe they get out and maybe the caliphate comes back. what do you say to that counterargument? yeah, yeah, because i hear that all the time. and, look, i mean, i was worried against this when they started putting them in there, that you had to have a plan
iranian-backed groups in that region. the u.s. did launch air strikes retaliating for the initial strike yesterday, where as you reported, one american contractor was killed, five service members were wounded, another contractor was also wounded. we, by the way, have just been told all of them are said to be stable right now. those air strikes were conducted by f-16s that flew out of a base in qatar. it was an effort to target those groups in the area or those sites in the area that are affiliated with iran s the irgc, the islamic revolutionary guard, an effort to try to fight back. there are about nearly a thousand, 900 or so, american service members and hundreds of contractors on the ground right now in syria. all of them there to help the kurds, kurdish troops on the ground there, in their efforts to try to protect against the reconstituting of isis in that region. jose? thank you so much. any moment as peter was saying,
list have been caught, 69 terrorists. that s set to break the record already. we re on pace to break the record from last year of almost 100, 98, i believe, was the number. what do you make of this especially as we know that isis is reconstituting? if we just the warted an attack just thwarted an attack just this week on our own soil. first of all, we ll all ask the big question, how many didn t we catch? rachel: right. and, again with this open borders policy, the goal for these kinds of people crossing the border is to avoid the border patrol. and yet 69 were caught. and remember, the border patrol as we heard testimony from the chief this week is overwhelmed. they have not secured the border, contrary to mayorkas constant refrain, but the people actually responsible for it telling the truth to congress that the border is not secure. this is going to have consequences for years into the future, and i would note that even
aggressively and the largest land war in europe since world war ii. all these incidents and lack of response add up, whether doing nothing in response to colonial pipeline, advocating for nord stream, saying minor incursion, might be met with not that much response or downing a drone in international water, which i do believe was deliberate. they were determined to stop it one way or the other. those things send a message they can get away with it. our adversaries, north korea and isis and al qaeda reconstituting in afghanistan are watching and smell weakness in this white house and will take full advantage of it. harris: when you see that america is not engaging in historic ways as a global leader, i guess we shouldn t be shocked about iran s new buddy?
