the advocacy of an all in solution, i think would be donald trump. where are you as you look at candidates? i would never vote for anyone who served in the government so far. this government is corrupt. it is uninterested in protecting americans. and it drifts toward fascism. instead of being willing to take the footage you just described, you know, i m a complete noninterventionist. i would rather get out of there right now and leave it all to the europeans and the arabs to sort out and come home, and let what s going on continue. and that will an all out shia- sunni war. so even though you ve described the all-in approach, michael scheuer says, with your years of experience running the bin laden unit at the cia, we should stay out and let the sunni and shia forces have at it? wait until the dust settles, am i understanding you correctly? that s correct. it s almost a godsend for these people who believe in ala, ala
important. notice both in europe and in the united states the first thing that happened after attacks was demand for more surveillance of the entire population and collecting their phone numbers and their calls and all of that. the founders were very clear. longer a war goes on, the more power accrues to the central government and you create a despotism. i think what we need more than anything is an american politician who will stand up and say listen, america comes first. what do we need to do? the answer at this time is that for the first time since 1996 when bin laden declared war, we have the ability to break the back of the caliphate. there wasn t one then. there is one now. but to have a caliphate, to have a nation state, you need hydroelectric dams and oil wells and electrical system and cell
different opinions. and anyone who watched the events in paris as they happened, i mean, these people are creating terror. the terror ifs are succeeding in creating fear. but we have to fight back against that. and i think this is and this is we are at war and we have to recognize that winning a war is not just military. we re fighting for the hearts at some point five, ten years from now, syria, we ll win this war and we ll want people to go back to syria and want to live there. and we want them to come with some sense of that this is where democracy can be. and ideally, they will want to live there and defend their country and fight for it in a way that they can t do or at least they feel they can t do now. finally, let me show you a paul ryan quote, the speaker paul ryan said this, we cannot let terrorists take advantage of our compassion. this is a moment where it s
may not be looking correctly at them because if it comes to a sunni/shia civil war that would engulf the region and be detrimental to their ability to both construct a caliphate and to attack us. let me ask this question. they use you for propaganda purposes i m want to show a short snippet of video, and then ask a question. roll it, please. even with combat troops on the ground, we ve proven that we cannot defeat these people. we are so incompetent in terms of conducting foreign policy and in terms of conducting military operation. why are they using you, what is the message they re trying to convey with michael scheuer? i think they re using the message that what i m speaking of is the reality. and their reality, and they need that reality to continue to grow the caliphate and to attract people. michael, we ve lost two wars. not because our marines and soldiers are bad, they re the best in the world, but because our politicians have lost the idea that fighting involves kill
to fight anymore, you will lose. i don t think we have that gumption. i that you re exactly right. so the only option is to come home, defend our borders, rebuild our military and take care of ourselves and let the rest of the world go wherever they want to go. take away from michael is, either all in, or let the sunni and shia factions have at it or stay out. and i worry that we don t have the stomach for either. but thank you so much for being here. the halfway approach leads directly to fascism. so what do you think? tweet me and i ll read some of the best at the end of this program. just ahead, the new york city police department is stepping up its ability to rapidly respond to terror. with the closing of mass transit in brussels, i want to ask ray kelly what precautions need to be taken here. and as congress turns anti-muslim rhetoric into policy, i ll talk to one key governor who is not shutting the door to syrian refugees.
