So why does it appear washingtons shutting down . The president at fundraisers this weekend after saying he doesnt have a strategy to deal with all of this . And republicans aren much better, too busy taking time off to address any of this. So i dont know. All i do know is evil tends not to take days off it. Hopes the other side sloughs off. Were sloughing, theyre planning, and going into the labor day weekend, i am worrying. So what is coming to iraq and afghanistan . Veteran and military adviser also with us. Weve got former office depot ceo on the financial implications of all of this. All right, so amber, allay my concerns because im concerned that we have britain on a heightened sense of urgency and us with no game plan . I am concern as well. D all were seeing is obamas continual indecisiveness and willingness to lead from behind is leaving the door open for adversaries to jump in and take care of the crisis going on in the world today. And we see obama, everything hes having to deal with today, including press conferences where he tells the world and our enemy we dont have a strategy for dealing with isis. Neil i try to give the president the benefit of the doubt. Just pretending he doesnt have a stragy when he does. Hes not letting us in on it. What do you think . I think both here in washington as well as any business situation, a leader needs to have a framework, but the definition of leadership is inspiration of followership. You got to lay out threats and followers whats in it for them. Americas in a unique situation, i hear this all over the world from business and government leads, they say you americans need to understand, you cant focus on the American Economy and domestic issues because you are the leaders of the world. We need to step up and need to define a framework that were going to operate in for the best of americans but also for the best of the world. And i think that lack of clarity is hurting us in the world. Neil white house spokesman doesnt feel that way. I want you to react to something he said today. The president hasnt yet laid out a specific plan for military action in syria. And the reason for that is simply that the pentagon is still developing that plan. Hes still reviewing them. I think he threw the pentagon under the bus right there. That could be me, what do you think . Being a leader means basically owning the good and the bad. And what we see with president obama is he loves to take credit for the good things that happen under his Administration Whether or not his decision was the sole reason it happened or not. And seeing when bad decisions are made he immediately deflects the blame and attemps to have somebody else be responsible for his situation. That is not leadership. Leadership is leading by example, not asking your subordinates or people underneath to you do something she wouldnt do, and making decisions that benefit the greater good. Neil you know the military community well, and its easy to dump on the president saying hes not sending a consistent message, the reason his supporters say hes so cautious is the president went into the battles and didnt think them through and we would rue the day. Im willing to give credit where credit is due, the Obama Presidency and lack of leadership is a direct reflection of the American People who voted him into i dont know whether the brits are overreacting or were underreacting. Its hard for us, we dont have people on the ground. We withdrew everybody, you donhave a firsthand account whatever going on. Thats part of the struggle in washington is people dont have clarity of the intelligence and whats going on. Nevertheless, we need to get to a common point of view, we need to do that ourselves or with allies, we need to define where were going, bring people along with us and need to act because i think lack of action, as you said, leaves a big vacuum for everybody else to act. And back to this point, any leader going into a company or going into any situation in Government Office always is picking up from somebody else and doesnt matter. You cant keep looking back and ruing the day that you came in and what happened. You come in with idealistic plans and you have to shift. Weve got to shift and move on and act now. Neil its easy to look back in the past. Amber, a year ago this very wouldnt that the president , his critics say punted on getting involved in attacking syria. And here we are a year later redebating the same issue. Do you think, had he moved a year ago, isis would be the threat it is today or would, in fact, be a bigger threat because it would have helped topple the assad regime . Well, i think that obamas indecision has made the entire situation worse. His administration does not like to address the elephant in the room in that region, which is syria, and they dont necessarily want to get involved there. But thats what he those are the types of decisions he needs to make as commander in chief. Pros and conon both sides and he needs to make the tough decisions. Democratic congressman on this was saying a year ago, had he moved to do what he was promising to do, it is possible we would have seen isis emerge from an assadless syria, and could have mad things a lot worse then . Hard to say, what do you think . I think its no question that if we had, you know, done an air campaign inside syria that isis would not have had necessarily the ability to have had the time to build themselves up to the way that they have. But that goes into him developing a strategy and ensuring he can pick and choose between the rebels and isis and all the differents inside syria. Neil well never know. Thank you guys both, very much. Joe piscopo on the outrage over the president s speech, but not over what he was saying over what he was wearing . But first, isis selling two million bucks of oil each and every day on top of the 2 million fortune collecting interest as we speak. Whos giving the terrorists the business . Meet the guy who knows. Pehabits of cleaning theirld dentures with toothpaste, and dentures are very different than real teeth. Theyre about ten times softer and have surface pores where bacteria can grow and multiply. Polident is specifically designed to clean dentures daily. Its unique microclean formula kills 99. 99 of odorcausing bacteria and helps dissolve stains, cleaning it a better way than brushing with toothpaste. Thats why dentists recommend using polident. For a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture everyday. Neil isis is selling, do you wond who the heck is buying . Reports of making two million bucks a day selling oil on the black market. The more oil they sell, the more power they get. Foreign policy expert retired Lieutenant Colonel lou garbanno, who is funding these guys. Whos buying it . Everywhere. Going to iran, to syria, going to turkey, its going to jordan. Neil they know there are sanctions in effect, preventing the sale,ut finding intermediaries to get the oil . Exactly right. Theyre buying it from a broker and buying it anywhere from a quarter to half the price of a barrel of oil. So its a great deal. I see, i see. So now a lot of this oil is from new front territories that isis, isil, bad guys, have conquered. Theyre sitting on top of the oil and getting it out, but thats funding them, and guys like you remind me that 2 million thats a lot of money, to pull off 9 11 it cost al qaeda about half a million dollars. Thats a lot of money. Lets put that over, there are a lot of we used to call them dollar a day talibans. Isis is a very small group. Paying people to fight for them, a paying the going rates. Theres a lot of money going in and a lot of money going out too. Neil interesting, to be involved in isis, its not just a passion thing, its a money thing, its a mercenary thing. Yeah, it is, and theres bribery involved as well. Its not like raking in all this cash and sitting on it and planning for a terrorist attack. Theyve got bills to pay. And selling oil not only externly but internally as well, too. People need gas, so its locally refined and sold on internal market as well. Neil they need the gas as well, the advancements. They look at them as a rag tag army sense that even in the videos and everything else, they look disjointed, disorganized. Some of them look terrifying, what have you. Used to that seeing similartype videos, al qaeda and taliban that they look crazy, but we dismiss it and say crazy. Why should we look at these guys differently . Thats not the way i look at it at all. I look at a group of people who are coming out of the mountains. A lot are coming from the west and other places, fairly well educated and a lot of them coming with previous combat experience and previous operational experience, and drawing on 30 years of terrorist practice and tactics to do that. So im looking at somebody thats kind of drawing from the best of the best of the last 30 years, and they have a lot of territory, and a lot of resources and a lot of manpower to play with. Go ahead, colonel, im sorry. Today, today is isis in iraq today has more resources at their disposal than al qaeda did on september 10th, 2001. Neil what are you worried from them next . Not being stupid. I worry about the things you should worry about. Two violent interests. A terrorist state in the middle of iraq has got to lead to rising sectarian war, who knows where this would end . Enormously damaging the global economy, that could spread. As long as there is islamic state, worry about that. And the other is these guys are committed, stated, they have the ability and the motivation to come back and go after western targets, youve got a pipeline thats about 10,000 people and a lot of the guys can go out. Got to worry about them coming after us as well. Neil colonel, thank you very much. I always learn something every time i have you on. Appreciate it. Coming up, what if i told you the reason why isis is growing over there, and recruiting so many from over here . Its the bad economy over here. Was the latest american killed fighting for isis because he was fighting for a job . Thank ythank you for defendiyour sacrifice. And thank you for your bravery. Thank you colonel. Thank you daddy.

Neil you know, you heard this before, theres a remarkable pattern to this. Did bad times here drive this guy to join these bad guys . Abi mohammed, said to be the second american killed fighting for isis in syria. Youre looking at that and saying what the heck was he fighting for isis in syria for . People said he was struggling. Hes fathered nine kids with multiple moms. Faced a lot of challenges at home. Isis might have taken advantage of struggles. Weve heard this before and something my buddy Charles Payne echoed before. The making money host, joining me right now. What is it that drives it . Anger . Anger, hopelessness, maybe getting back sort of a revenge kind of thing. Interesting reading articles about them. One of the articles, all the people said he gave up on the american dream. The reality is a lot of the kids never had the american dream. So there was nothing to give up on, and i think thats the reason why its fertile ground, fertile soil for someone who says something, whispers something say,ing you canified for, be proud of, get exact revenge on the people that held you back. Neil we just had retired colonel saying they pay pretty well, isis does. I dont know whether that is incentive to go halfway across the world and die for them. What do you think is ultimately driving it in the anger part or i havent got a pot in this country, so nothing to lose. I cant imagine they were paying more money than he could have gotten on disability or a couple of other programs. I think its the anger and the hopelessness part. The combination, its a stew. The economic backdrop makes for the liquid and you put in the other ingredients and it comes to a boil and thats what happens. Neil i talked to students of the 60s and said thats naive, in good times and bad times we have angry people who turn on their own country. Is it more pronounced when the country seems to be hiccupping along or what . More pronounced week have more people suffering. Maybe the word suffering is wrong, but who certainly are struggling. Lets not forget, maybe it was a slip when Michelle Obama said it was the first time she was proud of her country. That echoed a theme with a whole lot of people out there that they feel like maybe this has never been their country or the country never embraced them and theres a lot of resentment and people take advantage of it from political hucksters to terrorist groups. A lot of the poor, especially africanamerican kids do, they share this view that the president is being picked on, being picked apart, because of his color and that gets anger still . Overwhelmingly, absolutely. I would say neil really . Yeah. Neil if not for the races, hed be on fire. Hed be on fire, the economy would be on fire, they wont push through his policies. There has always been a democratic and a Republican Party and theyve always sort of been at odds with each other, and no other alternative party rubber stamped any president ideology or agenda but its taken very personal. Neil if you are right and you are right about a lot of this stuff week have more to fear and recruitmenting to fear. Isis has hit a chord not only here but in britain and across the world, says this is a different recruiting effort than other terrorist organizations. What you will see is most black people in this country who are if theyre not this kid is somalian background, the british guy egyptian background. Neil there is exposure. Its closer. They havent been here a long time. Someones whos mother was born in alabama and grandmother was born in alabama. Theyre christians, and certain things instilled upon them, that typically counteracts other stuff. To your point, its amazing one person will fight over there or one person from the u. K. It will be with respect to wow, couple hundred to a couple thousand. A small amount in the grand scheme of things. Neil start worrying about it, too. Charles payne, making money host, not only a smart guy but one of the nicest guys when he wants to. Some groups are up to pushing obamacare for dreamers. Could that be a debt nightmare . Theyre dreamers, they shouldnt be here. Wondering what that is . That, my friends, is everything. And with the quicksilver card from capital one, you earn unlimited 1. 5 cash back on everything you purchase. Not just everything at the hardware store. Not everything, until you hit your cash back limit. Quicksilver can earn you unlimited 1. 5 cash back on everything you could possibly imagine. Say it with me everything. One more time, everything and with that in mind. Whats in your wallet . Neil will he or wont he . Like the new game. Mitt romney saying theres a one in a million chance he runs for president for a third time. He hasnt closed the door completely shut. Charlie gasparino is hearing from his sources what it would take to push the door open . You know, fascinating, weve been talking on this on air, is he or isnt he running . I think he is. You and i have a bet. Neil a burger bet. But ive upgraded it to two. I say he wont, you say hewi from fairly you. Laughed at me. I did. Neil you mocked me. I didnt mock you. I laughed. Before i spoke with senior republican mum blers. Neil there are people. Who are close with mitt romney, and they tell me he still has not made up his mind yet. They tell me his wife is supporting him, if he wants to run, and thats a huge thing, a lot of people thought his wife was against him rung. Thats not quite the case. Neil whats he waiting for. Hes out there on the campaign trail, running for republican, key senate and house races. What im hearing from the same people. If he can make a difference in that, that is the test, in moving some of the races. If he can show what hes worth now, his medal now, he might do it now. I think its a long shot. Neil fix the senate republicans, he can take partial credit for that. Like a Ronald Reagan. Third time is the charm. The tight races. Where he made a difference. In louisiana, i dont know if hes down there. Neil to your point, campaigning for everyone, he leads in iowa right now with the race, 35 of the votes. The others are barely in double digits. Only huckabee was, right . Yeah. Neil where is all this going, whats his drove . I would say this, the negative side is a lot of republicans think he ran a lousy campaign and think he wimped out at the end. After he went for the jugular, he beat it too safe and lost to someone he could have beaten. I would say this, his surge in the polls, if you watched it, its sort of plateaued right during superstorm sandy. The Media Attention started shifting to the and the to aid and remember that Chris Christie bear hug. Neil did not help mitt romney. Did not help mitt romney. A fellow republican all but endorsing the president , which is crazy. That hurt. There are other factors, thats the negative. The negative, people think he laid off on obama too much. The positive is he is maybe the best qualified person to run. His name isnt bush. Now i like jeb bush, personally, hes a smart guy. But there is a degree which you know as bush fatigue, and a bush clinton race. Neil you dont think romney does . He has the same thing. Neil he raised a lot of money. A ton of money. And you know what . Hes been right on so many issues. Whats fascinating about president obama is his favorite limousine liberal Warren Buffett supports corporate aversions. If romney said im for lower taxes and not going to go after the companies that do the corporate inversions where they locate overseas in another country to get a tax benet, how is obama going to attack or hillary going to attack when Warren Buffett is doing it . Theres a lot of the Economic Issues that tilt his way right now. The economy is always the number one. The economy is always a big concern for americans. Hes been on the right side on a lot of the issues. Neil busy summer for y
