year. it went public this year but reported a record $5 billion loss in august. shannon: thank you. attorney general bill meeting with the mexican president a week after president trump wants to designate mexico s drug cartels as terrorists organizations. you would like to be a fly on the wall. this would be a first. the attorney general spent the day in mexico meeting with the president and top law enforcement leaders with how to stop the drugs, violence and money. it was seen as a prelude to u.s. involvement in the drug war in mexico. the mexico president is tweeting that the attorney general understands non-intervention in
al-baghdadi. the killing of daesh s leader, turkey will continue to support antiterror efforts at it has done in the past, pkk, why pg and other terrorists organizations, turkey welcomes development, i m confident that struggle against terrorism in line with spirit of alliance will bring peace to all humanity. there s irony in who said this tweet. gillian: well, i don t need to remind you of your own interviews, just 2 weeks ago you got a chance to speak to president erdogan s defense advisers and she told you that the united states is a top tier sponsor of terrorism in that region. leland: she went after the because u.s. supported the kurds, we supported terrorism, interestingly, though, so many people who blame the turks for the rise of isis, the jihadi highway across the border, not cutting off funds when they could
have been in the middle east for way too long and in afghanistan for way too long and we should bring people home. your response? how do you see it? first of all, justin was never a republican, he was a libertarian who ran under the republican ticket, number one. number two, that all sounds great except where did, you know, isis try to conduct attacks? they attacked from the middle east, and they tried to coordinate, finance and train from the middle east, where, in fact, did al qaeda attack the united states? it was from afghanistan. so when you say we are going to come home because it s easy, that does not deal with the idea that these terrorists organizations trained, financed and gained comfort in these areas, and we call them safe havens. what we determined in the very beginning was you have to take away the safe savehavens if you going deny them the ability to
