the taliban controls or has a sizable presence in 30% of afghanistan. the most since 2001. joining me now former pentagon official kt mcfarland. let, start with afghanistan because i'm going wait a minute, 30%. it's the same control they had around 2001. i thought they were contained, defeated, on their heels. >> every time i have gone to afghanistan the afghans are tap an empty wrist and say you americans have the watches, we afghanis have the time. the taliban has never left, the taliban is coming back it many only a matter of time i think before the taliban takes over. >> you surprised me in the past because you asked, what the heck are we doing? >> i think the americans are

sick and tired of propping up dictators who don't like us in countries that don't matter. we have been there 15 years. >> the corruption, the drugs, it's not going to change. >> it has not changed for 2,000 years. >> so why are we there? >> i think we have done our mission. we have gotten al qaeda out of afghanistan and mostly diminished in three months' time. what we should have done is go over the tora bora mountains chasing the taliban. tom: what do you make of this news they are saying our troops will stay at this air base indefinitely. >> i don't know what that means. it could be until the end of the obama administration. t why is he doing this? the most cynical reason. he doesn't want a loss on his

watch so he's kicking that can down the road.d. >> ramadi, a big deal? >> it was a year ago, defense secretary ash carter says those guys run. all of a sudden the state department spokesman says the brave iraqi soldiers. how did this become a brave iraqi soldier when we were throwing them under the bus? >> i think we should learn not to pray about the victory because they only seem to be short-lived. if the iraqi army has not taken ramadi, i think that would have been the more important story because it would have shown iraq is no more unified country. iraq noise longer a nation of shiites and kurds who fight together for each other. iraq is a tripartide party.

the ramadi victory, that's fine. but there were less than 300 isis fighters in ramadi up against 10,000 iraqis with significant american air power. tom: so the next step is mosul. a mad why is outside of baghdad. mouse is way up north. will the iraqi soldiers march up there and take mosul? >> we'll see. i think they will have a hard enough time holding ramadi. the north of iraq is no longer iraq. it, kurdistan. the kurds are willing to fight. they have been the only ones willing to fight against isis throughout. they are so willing to fight they even have women's brigades. and those women know if they ar captured, they know what isis

does to women. we tends to always go through iraq, the central government, that somehow iraq is going to rise from the ashes and be a unified country and a go con of peace and pro-american activity in the region. i don't think it's going happen. tom: your comments that we have 9-10 months until the next election. it's all p.r. proper began today? >> we read about this great ramadi victory? what are we read being? the pentagon is going step upp its p.r. efforts. the president feels the strategy is the right strategy it's not that there is a problem with the strategy. it's a problem with the p.r. strategy. that says enough right there. be sure to vote in tonight's poll. do with you believe american troops will ever leave iraq and and?

tom: there was no shortage of presidential hopefuls this year despite the rigors of the campaign trail. dr. ben carson described the holt a deal as brutal. but the strain of campaigning got too many of the career politicians as well. james rosen reports on some of the year's most memorable the y moments. >> time and again the same faces square off in chief baits, crisscross the same early voting states until the sheer lengths and grind of the exercise catch

up with them and even the most seasoned of politicians driven half insane succumb to the strain. >> i have got a lot of cool things i can doart than sitting around being miserable listening to people demonize me and me demonizing him. >> he doesn't feel thatbl comfortable on the campaign trail. there are a lot of trivial things that come up during the campaign, but there are moments of truth where candidates reveal things about their leadership style. reporter: the most polished debater can suffer a meltdown. >> so kasich is in this debate. he starts complaining and can't stop himself about not getting the air time that he thinks he deserves.

it came across as petulant.govee >> i think you were coming to mo about taxes. i hate to crash the party, mr. baker. reporter: subjected to heightened scrutiny the unflappable ben carson turns out to be flappable. >> next week it will be my kindergarten teach more said i peed in my expands. reporter: trump * says whatever he wants whenever he wants. >> i would bomb the [bleep] out of them. >> candidates show their fatigue or personality on a different level than they have been portraying.le donald trump has been honest about wha what he wants to say d who is therefore he's in the fronts. reporter: but even trump makes mistakes he wishes he could take

back as when he mocked a "new york times" reporter who is disabled. >> i understood that was a problematic moment for him. even trump understands there is a risk of him going too far. >> marco rubio took the high rode. even as the race their overred. rubio seemed to overcome his qualms about going on the attack. >> senator cruz would leave was a smaller air force and smallero navy than the one we are going to be left with. reporter: democratic frontrunner hillary clinton tried to use humor. >> she feigned she didn't know what wiping the server means.. reporter: what we haven't seen is one of these moments completely capsizing a campaign

as when ed musky's tears or howard dean's scream in 2004. but the cycle is only halfway through. tom: speaking of candidates, donald trump is holding a campaign rally in nashua, new hampshire. he's the declared leader among the gop candidates an has an average 13-points lead. his closest rival, the florida senator marco rubio. the news paper called trump a crude blowhard and an insilt to the intelligence of republic kansas can voters. this paper has been at war with trump for some time. it endorsed chris christie, but trump is not taking of any it lying down, today calling the

paper's editor a real low light. and he called the paper a pile of garbage. we'll monitor trump's speech and bring you any news out of that. joining us town hall editor guy benson and gop strategist jackie lynn taylor, founder of the people policy. ' guy, let's start with you. this business about donald trump, i have the sense that you are not a real big fan of donald trump. >> really? tom: i wonder -- you live in washington, and i wander if people in washington are not attuned to why people around the country have him so far ahead in the national polls. is it a beltway blindness that the rest of the countries sees and people in washington don't? >> if i lived in oklahoma i would feel the exact same way about donald trump. and i understand part of his appeal.

i understand he clears away part of the nonsense and speaks directly to what a lot of people are feeling. and i understand the contempt for the political clasp of which i happen to share. i don't think he has the temperament to be president. i don't think he has the judgment. and he's just so gety. hurling personal insults back and forth. he's constantly watching cable news on twitter, tweet being the things people are saying about him. s why don't you educate yourself about the nuclear triad which he was clueless about rather than trolling people like me on twitter?r? tom: bernie sanders is coming out, hey, trump supporters, i'm the average joe who has been attracted to the middle class joe, jane and joe smith are being attracted to donald trump.

i'm middle class, too. he thinks they are the same. he's a socialist and trump is an individualist. >> certainly a capitalist for sure. it's very interesting that bernie sanders tried to make this comparison and trum defined that the republicans is establishment didn't know the audience. bernie sanders supporters want government to fix everything,rn and to support them and they don't ware how much it costs. and trump supporters want trump to fix government and get out of the way. w it's different values. this is an elect that come down to not policy which is surprising.. trump is being most inconsistent conservative of the gop bunch. but it may come down to values. personal independence and not policy. tom: if he doesn't fit the

conservative republican mold, he doesn't fit the democrat liberal mold, so i'm thinking are the independents behind hip? who is? the independent don't seem to be any more suede than anybody else. he's more the conservative republican mold for the moment because that's the way he's talking. he will switch back, he used to be a liberal democrat. i understand what bernie is trying to go after here. if he goes back to disdain for the political class and the establishment. he seems outside compared to the clintons. there is some common ground there. donald trump and bernie sanders have lots of nice things to say about hip. there are comparisons between the two. i'm not sure there will be a ton of crossover. tom: bill clinton is supposed to get into the race after friday.

will it make it more after circus? you know what trump said. but both carly fiorina and democrats are saying if you go after bill, that's not who's on the ballot. >> it's not who's on the ballot. trump has it right potential think while bill clinton is a highly favored former president, he's a well-liked guy not onlywe in this country, but all over the world. but he did have a pretty scandalous presidency. while that slid off hip the fir time around, the accusations against his wife now may raise more questions this time. they are a package deal and for some people that deal is odd. the evidence of a package deal last time around is hillary clinton with the democrats' first healthcare debacle. tom: is it good or bad to get

bill involved? >> i'm distracted by you saying bill is getting into the race. declaring and running against his wife. tom: she was the president back in the 90s. in thank you both have much. meantime, unbelievable footage coming out of southern california following the weekend's wildfires. a dutch tourist and her family believed they were a safe distance from the flames but soon town themselves surrounded by the fire. firefighters still battling ther blaze today which officials say is now 75% contained. we are coming right back with much more. stay with us. congressman peter king coming under fire after calling forllio heightened surveillance of mosques.

>> that's where the threat is coming from. president of the american people defense initiative pamela geller joins me next. and this pittsburgh bridge ise about to be nothing but dust and debris. we'll show you the video coming up after these messages.

taupe * congressman peter king defending his call for better surveillance at mosques in this

country to detect terror threats. in an interview he's firing back at critics of the surveillance saying they can cry all they want. >> the fact is that's where the threat is coming from. we can say 98%, 99% of muslims are good people in this country. i'm swearing in a muslim into n office who is a good friend of mine. but that's where the threat is coming from. we are kidding ourselves. we have blind political correctness which makes no sense. tom: pamela geller is a leading in the voice against islamic radical terrorism. the question always come down to radical islam versus islam. is there some line or definition in there? a lot of people will say i red in the quran this or i read in

the quran that. is there a difference between radical and all members of islam, muslims? >> there is a difference between authentic islam which is what the jihadis are practicing and secular muslims. but there is nothing perverted or hijacked what groups like boko haram or mujahadeen or al-shabaab, they are practicing pure authentic islam. which is why representative king is correct. >> a lot of people think if we just left them alone, let them live in peace. we got ahead of saudi arabia, iraq, that they would leave us alone. orpters say they have a vision and view of the entire world. a caliphate of the entire world. where are you?

>> where were we before 9/11? 9/11 -- what we did after 9/11 was a defensive act. there is nothing in the quran that speaks to a spiritual jihad. w it's a war against non-muslims. when president obama said isis is killing muslims, not in their mind. the sunni versus shiia is battle between month is the truh muslim. when they kill shiia they are purifying the islamic state.mict when president obama says it's not islamic. then what is it? tom: the question of the first amendment where the government should not interfere with your right to practice your religion, yet at the same time the surveillance of mosques seems like it's government interfering in religion. others will say no that it's a house -- it's not a house of

worship, it's a house oft, which recruitment. which is it? is it varied by months to be mosque to mosque? >> no one cares about the religious come points. islam is a comprehensivete complete system. it's economic, it's political. the problem with political islam. nobody cares if you worship a stone as long as you don't stone us with it. the idea that you can preach sedition is ridiculous on its face. you must monitor the laws and enforce the laws against sedition. this is crystal clear. tom: do you believe there are mosques that are primarily recruiting for jihadists? >> absolutely. tom: what percentage, do you know? >> no less than four surveys, over 80% of mosques in the u.s.

one of the studies is by a shiia imam. 80% are preaching jihad. ed the san bernardino imam lied. the boston bombers were active in the islamic society of boston mosque. the jihadis are targeted four free speech event in garland, texas, they wanted to blow you have the super bowl. they were practicing in the shooting range a year before. but they were very active at their mosque. they were part of the recruitment video. their mosque raised money for their bail when they were arrested previously on jihad-terror crimes. the f.b.i. is not investigating these mosques. when the former f.b.i. leader mueller when asked if they were surveilling boston mosques, he

said on for outreach. tom: people are starting to say we ought to check this out much more carefully. i love your numbers. on wall street stocks closing lower. the dow fell 24 points. vol on the big board pretty light. just 2.5 billion shares. a reminds tore listen to lou dobbs financial reports on the salem financial network. 100 yeempsing's history just blew up in smoke. the old greenfield bridge demolished. it collapsed into a smaller bridge that was designed to catch pieces of the debris. they expect to have a new bridge

tom: comedian david spade taking a swipe at president obama. >> i saw a president should have more dignity. woodrow wilson went on dance with the stars once. what president does a reality show? tom: expwhrieng from san diego. raffle slater and host of where mornings on the mall." gentlemen, it's kinds of a little surprising don't you think to see hollywood criticizing people going on reality shows? >> you know what's interesting.w the front return on the republican nomination most recently flown for being host of his own reality show. his two sons are like 14 and 16, love donald trump because they

only know him as a reality show star, a decisive decision maker reality show star. tom: larry, pick up on that. this business. a reality. a lot of people tune in and i heard from people on the lefton who looked at the debates, because of the celebrity of donald trump. when it comes to the voting booth are they going go, i'm r going to vote for a celebrity? >> it brings them out to rallies. whether they will vote or not remains to be seen. barack obama has created this environment. he brought celebrity to the table 7 years ago when he ran. he ran on a poster and one-word slogan and no agenda. what was barack obama's real a agenda during election. what were his stand and principles? nothing. he made us feel good about ourselves. it's funny david spade is jumping out on this.

"saturday night live" is a pilgrimage for these candidates. why is it okay to go on "saturday night live" but not a reality show. where was he when barack obama was on "between two ferns" or oe "jimmy fallon," but where was he years ago when we were cite sizes this. a tom: remember the youtube lady in the bathtub? hillary is going to give her her due. >> let's make sure we keep bill clinton out of the bathtub. >> i would pay money for that. w i would do a pay per view for that. i would. the president sent an team his obama for america and said i have got 12 more months to go and i'm going to squeeze every bit of ounce of change i can while i'm still in office andd that's way intends to do.

nuke, he already told us he has a phone and a pen, and tape or something else along those lines. what do you have think he's going do in the next 12 months. >> it will be so much related to global warming. that will be his great legacy as he leaves office. but because it's a couple days after christmas i'll leave you with a glimmer of hope. any of these executive orders the president signs can be unsigned by another executive order. hope any congress doesn't oblige and put these things into law. the next president can remove them just as easily. hopefully they will do that. >> we'll see if a president doet them. fortunately most them don't unwind previous executive orders. i don't know where they will go in the next year. maybe the global warming, global cool agreement. that was the silliest thing i have ever seen.no

they said it's not enforceable because congress wouldn't pass it. why do they do things that aren't passable? >> it makes them feel great about themselves. they are lashing out at green science. but more importantly it enrichens and helps prop you have the bank accounts of their biggest supporters. people are not look at the money involved here.e. all of the initiatives opens the flood gates for money internationally and a huge number of democratic party contributors are sucking at the teeth of the global warming industry from solyndra all the way down. >> the only reason the third world countries signed a lawlo into this, they need fossil fuel to the lift them out of the third world like to we did. fall * if i was a third world

country i would say yes send your billions to my country so i can become cleaner.it is li you follow the money you will always finds answer.in so mike slater in san diego. thank you. in our online poll, 90% of the viewers of this show believe the children of presidential candidates should be off limits to political attack ads. that's interesting because of ted cruz and his children that were brought up last week. the's it for us tonight. i'm tom you will van in for loun dobbs. good night from new york. .
