thank you for joining us, we really appreciate it. what did you think of this takedown of abca9 and you personally can compare it for us. >> absolutely. this mission was extremely difficult because of all the other militaries in the area, being russia with such a robust antiaircraft capability. antiaircraft missile system. it was a challenging mission and my first reaction was pride. these are my brothers, but i fly missions with and i will never forget sitting in those aircraft going with the exact same shooters, the exact same pilots, the dog would be in the cage, the dog would wind up getting more space on the aircraft than

the doctor. they jammed me up on the ammo cans but it was amazing to be part of the history of those missions early on in the iraq war and afghanistan. >> has been some comparisons made as to how donald trump issued the announcement that abca9 had been killed and compared to president obama and his announcement of his sidearm hussein. what you think of the difference in the two, the way they handled it. >> i like the bravado from donald trump, i really do. we are talking about an enemy that is pretty heinous, this guy enslaved women, raped women, beheaded christians, use subhuman really and i agree with the president on that so to get up there and say we crushed him, to say he ran away with cowardice and all those things are very good comments because

infrastructure around the facility. >> reporter: also in southern california the hill fire is still burning near riverside. that fire burned 600 acres and is 30% contained. evacuations were lifted from that area but people returning home were told to be careful because fire crews are still working that fire. in wine country in northern california the campaign fire has burned 70,000 acres in sonoma county forcing thousands of people to evacuate. that fire is at 45% containment, good news considering the peak fire conditions we've had over the past few days. >> reporter: >> we are making significant progress on the fire. there's a lot of optimism we have turned the corner for the better on this fire and i think it is indicative of the fact a lot of evacuation orders and the warnings were lifted. >> fire crews are still actively fighting at least 7 other fires

across the state, something that is difficult considering this epic santa ana wind. back to you. ibly28 be careful, you and your crew as well, thoughts and prayers with dollars firefighters, 26 after the top of the hour the pentagon releasing video of the raid on abca9's compound. what happens next? ryan mario is a national security analyst and says now we need to embarrass isis. how can we do that? he joins us live up next. these folks don't have time to go to the post office

of the raid on abca9's compound. the video showing a moment us troops closed in on the terrorist leader. national security analyst says releasing the video was the right move and he joins us to explain why. why was this wise? it was a lot of video, really dramatic to watch. >> the first reason is we have to get head of the anti-american spin machines in the world. they will say you are killing civilians because you're horrible and at war with islam. what this video shows is how precise those munitions are, the extra risk we put our troops in for the sake of civilians who may not even like us. it is important to counter that anti-american -- ibly23 there were americans saying that very thing yesterday about the video that was released, the complete opposite.

>> if you come out with the type of mind that you want to paint the united states in a bad way there's always a way to do it. you see the guys that were not even isis that were shooting at the helicopters and so we had to take them out but if we were 10% of the great satan they make a sound like we would use cheaper munitions and white the place out and put any risk to our forces but we don't do that. daymac something else that was interesting, frank mckenzie pointed out making sure isis could not use this site in the future as a shrine. >> it was pretty clear the success of the standoff insured that it would not be a shrine or otherwise memorable in any way, just another piece of ground. >> another point you were going to make. >> very smart move and focusing on the ideological element which we don't pay enough attention to. for isis and all these groups the reason when they succeed they suddenly get all these recruits is their message is

that as proof that allah is endorsing them so you have people that were radical and thought i agree with you guys, their mind will change based on the success. if they start losing it is interpreted as allah's judgment on them. they lost the favor of god. when you kick their butts and make sure the world knows it causes even their own members to lose faith in the group. >> they lose faith in the group based on the fact they won't be able to use this site as a shrine and we can see right there in the video how they were taken down. something else they used very well is the internet and social media and that is what we need to do moving forward to overcome isis. >> we need to do a better job essentially of performance in terms of international media and making things go viral. even releasing this video brings media attention back to our narrative, gets people talking about it focusing on the fact that we won. isis is losing. isis and other groups keep

pumping out product and able to dominate the media narrative and it takes hold. we can do the same thing better. look at how our elections go. we are great at politically destroying each other. we don't use the same skills on our enemies. i was head of the declassification unit that goes to the material and look for embarrassing material against the enemy and release it. it hoses them for who they are. >> there are those who say that will rile them up. >> we are beheading people your wild up as much as you can possibly be. >> enough said. thank you, hope that definitely does stop and this does something to deter future members of isis. great to have you with us. 2020 hopefuls back here at home, kamala harris shaking things up. the democratic senator laying off dozens of people and

transferring others to iowa and cutting her campaign manager's salary as she raises more money for her presidential bid. $12 million in the third quarter 5 million and elizabeth ders's warren's $24 million in third-quarter campaign cash. a lot of money. senator elizabeth warren promised to not work with wall street. >> we need to end the unwritten rule of politics that says anyone running for office has to start by sucking up to a bunch of rich donors on wall street and powerful insiders in washington. i am opting out of that rule. ibly28 it appears she changed her mind, campaign staffers telling wall street executives she will turn down that rhetoric if she gets the democratic nomination. that would be aimed at helping warren gain support for the general election.
