night. but the second issue with the no-fly zone, if you are not ready to enforce that no-fly zone, yet again that creates a red line you're not willing to enforce and makes it so that other players in the global stage may miscalculate and think we're not serious about what we say we're going to do. >> on libya, which is now becoming a hotbed of isis activity after the removal of gadhafi a few years ago, the u.s. military has now confirmed that there are these pictures out there of u.s. commandos in libya. you're a member of the armed services committee, what are they doing there? >> well, we've heard very strongly especially recently how isis has completely taken over the town of surt, which was kind of gadhafi's last stand. they have established this stronghold there. we're hearing many leaders of isis including possibly baghdadi are already there. and we're seeing them looking at opportunities to expand further into libya. so we should be taking action to
particularly in the wake of the paris attacks, is the needia scrutiny and what he knows and what he would do, is that unfair? >> only if you compare it to the ware that they look at everybody else. part of the problem in the middle east rests on her shoulders based on what she did in libya. i don't see "new york times" unleashing their stable of reporters to really look at her job as secretary of state and what happened in libya and how it partially led to the advancement of isis. >> reporters have looked into hillary and a benghazi, but as far as isis, you have a good point. 18%, that's second play, donald trump 28% is up a by and ted cruz, marco rubio tied at third. the "national enquirer" editor on how he broke the
that. >> cars many is a great target -- >> the only target for some. and reporters need to -- when they ask a question of a candidate, reporters have to get -- when they get an answer and it's a newsmaking answer, reporters should say, would you repeat that again? make sure they get the candidate on the record. so the candidate can't then go back and say i was -- >> it was ambiguous and all of that. >> exactly. hillary clinton in one way perhaps has an advantage as a former secretary of state. in another way are the media doing enough as her report on terror, on libya, and all that? >> i would, of course, love to see more aggressive questioning of secretary clinton on the trail. she doesn't allow for that very often. bernie sanders could take a shot, but he's not been willing
what happened in libya, getting rid of gadhafi. the current situation -- >> the same thing will. all over again. >> stand by, congresswoman tulsi gabbard. we'll have more. (vo) what does the world run on? it runs on optimism. it's what sparks ideas. moves the world forward. invest with those who see the world as unstoppable. who have the curiosity to look beyond the expected and the conviction to be in it for the long term. oppenheimerfunds believes that's the right way to invest... ...in this big, bold, beautiful world. big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars.
us 0en 9/11 and trying to defee at the same time supporting them with arms to overthrow the syrian government. >> you don't want the u.s. government to provide arms to the rebels. >> i don't want the u.s. government to provide weapons to al qaeda, to islamic extremists, our enemy. it's a simple concept in my mind you can't defeat your enemy if you're arming them and helping them at the same time. makes so neense. >> have you told this to officials. >> it's important for the american people to stand up and say, look, we don't want to go and do what happened in iraq with saddam hussein. do what happened in libya with gadhafi. these are countries that have fallen into chaos and taken over because of actions the united states and others took. >> any candidate who supports safe no-fly zone in syria must admit u.s. coalition ground air troops are needed to enforce. yes. >> that's a statement directed
many different regions. >> does it not concern you al assad's regime has been brutal killing at least 200,000, 300,000 people with barrel bombs and reports of hundreds of thousands of people who have been left homeless, billions in fact, refugees, and the u.s. is obviously, so many other international powers upset about that and want to get rid of him as a result of what he's been doing to his own people over the past four years? >> yeah, wolf it concerns me deeply to see this tremendous and tragic human suffering. i think it's important for leader of the world, leaders here in the united states, to look at this issue, though, and say, okay, if you do, in syria, what happened in libya, what happened in iraq because the same things that are being said about assad right now were said about gadhafi, said about saddam hussein by those advocating for the u.s. to go in and intervene, overthrow those regimes and dictators, the fact is, that if that happens here in syria, as
director john brennan testify before your committee as a result of the hacking of his personal e-mail account? >> i would leave that up to the chairman, devon nunez, but i would certainly urge that we have director brennan come in and give us a full scope and explanation as to what happened, because this goes far beyond john brennan. it goes, could any secrets have been compromised, and what steps are going to be taken in the future to prevent this from happening? and also, is there anyone else at the cia who's using, you know, private e-mail, and whether or not any government documents go on those personal accounts. >> are you using private e-mail? >> i use it for totally -- nongovernmental. i use it for personal and political. >> for personal and political reasons, because you can't use government e-mail for political reasons, fund-raising, stuff like that. you saw the reports from barbara starr at the pentagon, oren liebermann in jerusalem. it looks like that whole region now is on fire, the violence erupting not only in syria, elsewhere in the region, afghanistan, iraq, libya, but
afghanistan, on iraq, on libya is probably the sweet spot. he was on the dovish side of all of the debates, less interventionist. this one, telling obama to do the raid, he's maybe on the wrong side of history and he's trying to change the story. i think he's putting obama in a tough box because the question is going to be to the president, es this true? did joe biden -- >> the president publicly suggested biden wasn't on board, one of those resistant. >> also trying to say he had this private access to the president that other advisers, maybe hillary clinton, didn't have. >> you know, maybe in retrospect we'll look back and say we were reading too much into this. but to me, that is the best indy indicator yet that joe biden is running for president. he doesn't want to be seen as weak on one of the best, most successful national security missions in the obama administration altogether. particularly when he's running potentially against hillary clinton who, as you said, was on the right side, because she
welcome back. our first question in our ask ed segment tonight, lenora wants to know, do you agree with the president's policy for iraq? yes, i do, 100%. i think the president was very clear yesterday on where he stabds. in fact, i agree with the president on libya, on syria, on egypt, and on the ukraine. when this president was elected, international intervention was going to change. the bush doctrine, history, okay? his number one concern and he said this yesterday in his press conference is american lives. and injecting our troops back into iraq does not make us any safer here at home. i believe his counterterrorism measures have been excellent, we have been safe under president obama and i have confidence we'll continue to be safe.
>> one of the president obama's critics back home says the president doesn't seem to have a strong international strategy. >> this president is not prepared has not anticipated and is not active. on libya and the arab spring there's virtually no foreign policy action during the last six years that the president has been well positioned for. >> he says the u.s. should be sending military mission to the ukraine and should make sanctions a lot more painful for the russian government. >> molly henneberg live for us in washington. thank you, molly. this to talk about a victory in illinois for bruce brawner. he scored the republican nomination for the race beating out three long time state lawmakers including the current state treasurer. he's a venture capitalist and has vowed to run the state like a business and rollback union power. he will go up against democratic
