>> its an eloquent way i think of saying he will defeat isis. this president has done nothing in 16 months. the other night he offered no new strategy, no new plan to defeat isis. people want isis defeated. ill notice what the president said recently was very interesting. they said he was confronted every morning by the intelligence briefings. presidents arent confronted by the intelligence briefing. this president doesnt want to hear what hes told every single morning. he has not been serious a...

Is he right or not? >> hes wrong. its amazing the president would say that based on the fact every day he received an intelligence briefing we are not privy to that lists a ton incursions happening around the world that we dont necessarily know about today that he does. for him to say that based on what we do know is unconsciousable. unconsciousable -- is unconscionable. we are spending 35% more after 9/11 than we spent before 9/11. thats 20% of our $4 trillion budget. where is the peace dividen...
