The cia and Senior National security contributor. Mike, great to have you on with us this evening. Given todays attack, buzz isis in afghanistan pose a threat to the u. S. Similar to isis in iraq and syria . Bianna, afghanistan is one of the places where the isis cancer has spread. Its not yet a threat to the u. S. Homeland, but if it is allowed to continue to grow in strength, if it allowed to acquire a safe haven, it could very well become a threat to the u. S. Homeland. Is the u. S. Doing enough to prevent that from happening . So the military pressure on isis in afghanistan is significant. Isis is one of the reasons why President Trump decided to leave a u. S. Troop presence there. And those operations against isis are intensive. Let me switch gears and ask you about secretary rex tillerson, who has written an oped really promoting u. S. Foreign policy. He took a rather tough stand regarding russia. In fact, he wrote that absent a peaceful resolution of the ukraine situation, there cannot be business as usual with russia. Mike, those are strong words. But does this carry any weight with Vladimir Putin . So they are tough words, but from putins perspective, he really only listens to the president. He mirror images. And in his system, he is the only person that matters. So when he looks at us, he thinks the president is the only person that matters. The most important thing to putin are u. S. Actions. And we have not taken tough action with regard to the meddling in the election. But just last week, we took very tough action by allowing the ukrainians to acquire from the United States antitank weapons that is a very tough step with regard to russia. And putin will see that. Mike morel, our thanks to you. And happy new year. Same to you, bianna, thank you.

Reporter in the nations capital, the Charity Serves hundreds of meals daily to the needy, operating largely through charitable donations. But under the new tax reform law, nonprofits like so others might eat will soon be taking a big hit. We are absolutely concerned that tax reform and also just confusion about what the new laws are going to be will Impact Charitable giving. Reporter its a concern shared by nonprofits across the country, because the new tax law lowers incentives for people to donate. Before, people could reduce their tax burden by writing off charitable donations and itemizing them on their tax returns. Under the new law, many middle class taxpayers no longer will need to itemize, but instead offers a bigger standard deduction, doubled to 12,000 for individuals and 24,000 for couples. But here is the rub. If you dont itemize, you cant deduct your charitable donations. People will continue to give to charity. They just wont give as much. If you get a thousand dollars more in your paycheck and there is no financial incentive to give it to charity, you may still give to charity, but youre probably going get the washing machine. Reporter united way ceo Brian Gallagher says his organization, which collects 3. 5 billion a year in donations and funds charities like so others might eat expects to take in 300 million less. Estimates that overall charitable give willing go down 13 billion a year, which would mean up to 10 Million People will lose needed services. Whats the impact of that .
