the point is to find out what happen. for him to fuse this time to go out on this political tour to try to bolster his own political agenda, a gun grab, which is so fascinating. democrats in these times, as they know, go immediately to ending the second amendment, and that the government protect you. we have seen what the government did at the fbi, with some of the date of the local level, and now it s in the deputies outside who were trained and had guns and didn t go in. i had to protect myself with my own gun or that the government do it, i ll take myself every day of the week. laura: it s very odd that the authorities saw isis flagged in one of the visits, like, obsessed with final exam. i would think that a kid that was a mexican these weapons, obsessed with isis, talked about a school shooting, that is kind of an easy one. he probably don t get all of these factors together and he
the agency i used to work out, i get a recording. i don t speak to a human being. when i was an fbi agent, we answer the phone. we talked to the people in the community. we were there to provide safety to the community, and in order to do that, you have to be able to communicate with them. they have to be able to speak with you as an agent, a trained agent, not as an analyst, not an analyst, but a special agent of the fbi. the fbi has tried to centralize all their activity for so long now that they have lost touch with the communities. that is the fundamental issue. whether the doj can investigate that and come up with a conclusion, i m certain they can. with the fbi needs to work within itself and it needs to start providing the services to the community. laura: a lot of problems. when law enforcement is finding out that this 19-year-old was assessed with isis, coming to $25,000, buying all of these
the base in turkey was a key location in launching attacks on isis. it was very important strategic location for u.s. forces. i remember being there for a long time during the start of the second war in iraq. but then, you know, a real shift in the turkish government along with some u.s. military decisions seems to have led to a real cooling of relations. so what is the potential of it ever, i guess, strengthening again, or being more hopeful? you know, this too shall pass. and at some point in the future, this will all go away. right now we have to address the tactical situation on the ground. we have to go after isis and keep doing that. when the turks saw isis has pretty much been pushed out of syria, out of turkey now they want to re-establish their supremacy in the area and they are very concerned about the kurds because the kurds were the most effective force on the ground against isis and kurds want repayment for what they did for the united states and they
turks. if you look at the operations it s in the northwestern corner. no u.s. forces in that area. it s when the turks move to the eastern side of the little enclave in syria, when they go towards the euphrates river. the u.s. forces are there. that s what the general was referring to. he has no tension to pull that up. that s where the escalation will come and where you will have turkish forces right up against american forces. they are on the western side of the euphrates river. the turks want us out of that area. they are setting thunder for a show down. what we don t need is a a contradiction between two na to allies when you have isis to defeat. turkey was one of the closest allies to the u.s. in that part of the world.
at the pentagon to discuss the fight against isis. the president s language was strong. as we squeezed its heart, we are hitting isil harder than ever. and he cited progress. isis losing territory in iraq and syria, and losing senior leaders to coalition air strikes and special forces raids. the point is isil leaders cannot hide. and our next message to them is simple, you are next. but like his speech from the oval office last sunday, mr. obama announced no new military steps other than sending his defense secretary to the middle east to build up coalition military support. we recognize that progress needs to keep coming faster. no one knows that more than the countless syrians and iraqis living every day under isil s terror as well as the families in san bernardino and paris and elsewhere who are grieving the loss of their loved ones. the pentagon visit, his first since july, comes as hard questions arise about missed
