Transcripts For FOXNEWSW On The Record With Greta Van Suster

Imagine, a range of topics. You dont want to miss it. Thanks for inviting us neuro yom tonight. Thats special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. Greta goes trord with special interview right now. Tonight he is here. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu goes trord. He is warning the United States islams number one target is the United States. You will hear from Prime Minister netanyahu in just minutes. But, first, news that isis that s. Changing its tactic and now the question are the limits of u. S. Air strikes becoming abundantly clear. Pentagon press secretary admiral. Good to be with you, greta, thank you. Nice to have you. Tell me, is isis are they changing their tactics . Yes, they are. As a matter of fact. We have seen this actually for the last several weeks as we have been striking them inside iraq. Frankly we expected that. That as we continue to put pressure on them they would have to react to try to survive and to continue and adapt their operations. What i said last week is if they are not operating as freely as they were before and they arent. So they are free to. Are seeing them change their posture. Seeing them change their communications. Seeing them disperse more. To hide more. To be better concealment. But, again, those arent necessarily harder for them to operate. Disperse sal means they are coming more in contact with civilians not part of the fight who are people who are innocent and used as human shields we try to look for the isis to kill them, if they are surrounded by civilians, now we have got a bigger problem. Certainly it makes targeting a little bit more difficult. No question about that i want to stress that the campaign against them in iraq and in syria isnt necessarily about, you know, killing individual terrorists. I mean, obviously we expect that some of them will be killed in some of these strikes, but what were really trying to do is get after their capabilities. We are trying to take away from them the days that they sustain train and equip themself in syriaened a in iraq doing a lot more dynamic targeting which is going after trucks, convoys, armored personnel carriers, artillery positions trying to take away their ability to reek havoc and continued violence. Are they advancing at all. Growing at all. Moving towards baghdad more or in any way taking more towns . They continue to right to gain territory. We do continue to see them try to do that. They have had some success. We talked about some of the success they have had out in Anbar Province in the last week or so. No question they still want to do that and they are still trying to. They still threaten baghdad. They investigative threatening baghdad. They havent made any Great Strides in that regard. Iraqi Security Forces around the capitol doing a good job. Stitchening their denses they know how important that city is to their people and country. We are also seeing the iraqiSecurity Forces push back, too. With mixed success to be sure. Just take a look at what they did at the mosul dam facility a few weeks ago in concert with and coordination with Kurdish Forces which is not a typical activity for them. They were able to take back that immense facility for from isil. Can i guarantee you that iraqi and Kurdish Force also continue to try to take back territory. All right. Let me go across the border into syria i use the border still free syrian army. Moderate. Aligning ourselves with. Do we know who the leader is over there. Many opposition groups. Not just the free syrian army. There isnt any one recognized head of certainly not from the military perspective. Head of the moderate syrian opposition. Frankly, thats one of the reasons why we are eager to get started on this train and equip program. Authority to do bring them and vet them and make sure we are working with the right folks. Get them some basic military training and frankly as a part of that some basic leadership training so they can organize themselves and little bit better idea who to work with and for how long. It looks like the group just got a little bigger. Turkey is now apparently going to join in. Is that correct . Thats correct. Turkey as you saw the vote in parliament. Overwhelming vote to support action against isil in iraq and syria. And also to allow Foreign Forces to base out of turkey thats very welcomed news. Very positive development. Were in consultation with with the turks right now about the details on that. What it is actually going to mean. But we have said it all along that turkey geography be a partner here. They have indicated they want to contribute. Todays vote is a positive accept it in that direction. Teams the president out of syria has been silent. Have we heard from him at all. We are not in communication certainly not from a military perspective from assad. We are not coordinating with him and talking with him. We ar communication with him or his regime. Our focus inside syria is squarely and solely on isil. Sir, thank you very much for joining us. My pleasure, thanks for having me again. And developing rit now, urgent warning going out to u. S. Military members and their families. Fox news chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge joins us. Whats the warning, catherine . Thank you, greta there is a warning thats gone out. We have a copy of it here. From whats called the army threat immigration center. What it says to the armys military commands globally is that you have got to look at the social media traffic thats calling on isis and its followers to target the military specifically and in one tweet it cites they are being called on to go to the yellow page social media sites like facebook, linked in and twitter to find these addresses and launch these attacks at the homes. There is no independent intelligence to corroborate these threats but its significant enough. They sent out this bulletin. To the families, to the military and their families . To the Army Commands who then disseminate that information to the families . Doesnt everybody know that . Why too we need i mean, look, im all for warning everybody, but what is so produce found just like the military is sort of covering itself . Is there anything arent we all looking out for this . I think there is an aspect of covering your basis on this. What speaks to me is that there really is sort of a saturation of isis and social media. Unknown to certain extent. What wab the trigger . It offers some pretty common sense precautions. Limit peoples access to your social media profile. Think about what you are posting on line or whether it identifies you a as a military family because the calls are very specific. Is it anything more than instruction on common sense in case you dont have it this is what you should be doing . When you have a a bulletin like this and sent out by something as the sort of well respected as this threat immigration center, it kicks it up a notch to say to people hey like you are thinking this but we are now telling you that you really have got to give it some serious consideration. I dont know. Those beheadings did it for me. Anyway, as to sort of made me realize. That was a moment for sure. That indeed. Catherine, thank you. User welcome. Now israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu goes trord. Today we spoke with the Prime Minister about what he sees as the greatest threats to israel and to the u. S. Here in the United States. Real war that matters much to your country is the iran and Nuclear Weapons. Where are they on nuclear weapons . They are trying to get a deal which would leave them with the ability to get to make enrich all the uranium for bombs and have all the sanctions lifted off many them. Thats what theyre trying to do. They shouldnt get it important to specify what is the problem . The problem is that militant islam is trying to dominate the middle east and then take over the world. Its number one target ultimately is is the United States. They view all these branches. Shiites, radical shiites, radical sunnies, they see you as the great satan. They call us. The small satan because we are just a frontal position. A forward position of the United States. They want to destroy us so they can get to you. The greatest danger is that any one of these groups, either isis on the radical sunni side or iran that leads the shiites that any one of them would get Nuclear Weapons is a tremendous threat to the future of our world. A tremendous threat not only to israel but to the United States as well. That has to be prevented. Defeat isis, very important. We support that completely. Support president obamas effort there. 100 . But defeating isis and legged iran have the capacity to manufacture enough material for a bomb, thats to lose the war. You have to do both. Defeat isis and prevent iran from having Nuclear Weapons capability. What is sort of peculiar though in fighting and defeating isis that the United States and countries going along with the United States have iran supporting it. Which is sort of an unusual strange bed fellows in some ways. Yes and. No because when both of your incomes are fighting one another, you dont support one or the other. Weaken both. Thats my point. You dont have to give iran and i dont think anyone is suggesting it, but i heard in the press that people are saying well, lets reward iran for fighting isis with, you know, what they want on the nuclear deal. What for . They are going to fight isis anyway. If assad came to you and said well, i will fight isis if you give me back my chemical weapons, you laugh them out of court. Thats about the same absurdity. There is no need to do that the you have to fight the isis, and do everything thats necessary to prevent iran from having the capacity to make atomic bombs. Well, the arrangement right now or the negotiation, discussions which are are supposed to i think november 24th is is the next deadline. Umhuh. At least they are discussing leaving some enrichment capability with iran, which i think before have you been quoted as saying a bad deal is worse than no deal. Is that a bad deal if they have any inrichment capacity . In my opinion, of course. Why do they need centrifuges . Ask that question . They say they need it for civilian Nuclear Energy. Thats not true. 17 countries around the world. Big countries like mexico and canada and end do nearby shah and i understand do syesha and others i understand indonesia. You need centrifuge for one thing not civilian Nuclear Energy but for making a bomb. For military use. So there is no reason iran should have it my point was they shouldnt have it to the extintd move away from that and get more and more centrifuges, first hundreds and then possibly thousands and then you are giving them the capacity few weeks, few months to operate those centrifuges enrich enough uranium, thats what you need enriched uranium to make a core of a nuclear bomb. There is no reason on earth to do that. Do you have the sense president obama or has he said to you meaning that he is willing to put on the table some sort of enrichment capability . I know iran says they want it for peaceful purposes and i know that whole argument. Peaceful purposes . Thats what they say. Make radio isotopes on their Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles shoot out to iranian shooting earth. Thats absurd. Theying marry bombs. Im not suggesting that i believe that i know they have Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles as well. There is only one reason for that do you have that position is they will allow some they will agree to some enrichment of uranium . They say it ownly and brief has to be clear that what is being discussed and the u. S. Is very open with us as befits close allies. To the extent that you veer away from no enrichment. From no centrifuges and you start moving away from that then it becomes a bad deal and you move further away and it becomes a very bad deal. And to the extent you get close to the position where they will have no enrichment capacity or minimal that becomes a better deal. We will see where it ends up on the spectrum. I think its the overwhelming issue because these militant islamic groups ora jet streams, whether iran or isil or hamas, they all have a fanatic ideology. They want to have their domains expanded and ultimately they at the present time to change history. Bring us back to the early mid evil period where women are chattel and minorities are subrogated. Everyone they consider infidel is given the choice convert or die. Thats insane. This insanity coupled with the weapons of mass destruction could lead to catastrophe. Thats happened before in the previous century with another mad ideology that sought to conquer the world and when they thought they had enough power the nazis brought horrible devastation and 60 Million People died and a third of my people died. We cant let that happen again. You mentioned hamas. Israel is taking a lot of the world. Civilian deaths. Hamas is the same as isis . Hamas and isis, they are not twins but they are brothers. I called them branches of the same poison tree. These are radical islamic movements and they use some of the same methods. Look at this. I brought this picture. And when your viewers look at this, they might think this is isis about to carry out an impending execution. But its not. This is taken roughly at the same time of the it happened not in serial iraq syria or iraq. Of this executioner is about to execute one of dozens of palestinians that they killed in order to instill the campaign of fear over the population of gaza. Now, there is some differences hamas beheads people or isis beheads people and hamas puts a a bullet in their head. But if you are the victim or their family, the horror is the same. So they use the same tactics. And they also have the same goal of dominating the world with the terrible islamist conception. And i think they should be fought. We fought hamas. Now you are fighting isis. But i think we shouldnt lose sight of, in the cracks we shouldnt let iran, the ultimate islamist power to get the ultimate power. Mr. Prime minister, before we go, and you have to excuse my midwestern accent. [speaking foreign language] thats pretty good. There is room for improvement but it means happy new year. This is the jewish new year so i want to say that we offer it for jews and nonjews alike. I hope that we have a year under challenging circumstances fitsd these terrorists to challenge really i hope we have a good year for security and for prosperity and for peace. Thank you, sir.

Islam is trying to dominate the middle east number one target is ultimately the United States. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threats not only to israel but us in the United States. Former u. N. Ambassador john bolton joins us. Good evening, sir. He certainly has a big picture view of this. He is not just looking at the fight in isis or hamas. I think thats important because there are a number of threats in his region that he has to priority advertise. So its really not surprising that the iranian Nuclear Weapons program is still threat number one. Not only for him but for us as well. He sees it but not enough people see he it headline, a threat that has to be removed but ultimately the country or the terrorist group that has Nuclear Weapons is the one you have to be most worried about. Were going to come to this point, november 24th i guess would probably be the point when this negotiation is supposed we are supposed to have something or not have something. The United States has always indicated that it would consider letting some enrichment for peaceful purposes. Prime minister netanyahu has always said its got to be zero. At some point we have in the to come to logger heads on this big time. I think there is a very real risk that the administration will agree to a deal that fundamentally legitimizes irans Nuclear Weapons program. The split between the United States government and israel on this has never been wider. So it may have been a polite professional meeting that the two leaders had this week, but it was one that revealed enormous differences between israels view of Irans Nuclear program and the Obama Administra
