as if both iran and isis are attacking us. iran and isis are actually enemies. iran is shia muslim. is fighting isis. they're actually helping us in a way. so you wonder about these people. national security is a serious business here. why don't they learn more about it? >> all right. so, amy, let's ask you your reaction to last night and who you think won coming to the security issue. >> well, i was going to say that it was a tie between marco rubio and ted cruz until what we're learning about ted cruz possibly revealing information he should not have of on that debate stage. i thought the exchange of nsa wiretapping was a winner for the american people to understand more about this issue, despite governor chris christie trying to dismiss it and say that nobody cares and it is actually incredibly important and also the idea of vigilance, particularly after san bernardino and what we have learned that tashfeen malik, a terrorist killer, able to enter the united states on a visa without the social media checked and passing apparently three security screenings even though she had some

isis or iran, what's the bigger threat? that's the question. >> i said -- i said there is a third option, to support the sunnis, to support the kurds, to support the jews. we're ready to fight isis. and most of them, of course, want to fight bashar al assad. no, they don't want iranian influence in syria. and the vienna process is, yes, is very complicated. and it comes to the russian presence in syria. the russian presence in syria is to launch an offensive, they thought about three months' offensive in order to gain more territory for bashar al assad regime. first of all, it's not going to happen because of the military difficulties, the incompetence of the forces and the lack of the determination of the iranian revolutionary guard corps troops on the ground and hezbollah and activists on the ground. it seems to be a failure. nevertheless, they try to conclude it by any kind of political settlement. with whom? you can't settle it with the internal elements in syria, daesh are not around the table. till now even the sunni m

isis begins. assad is a participate of iran. ed the space that led to the people of syria themselves to stand up and try to overthrow him. >> that led to the chaos, which allowed isis to come in and take advantage of that situation and grow more powerful. the fact that this president led from behind meant there were no alternative groups on the ground to be empowered leaving ice sis in the prime operating space they needed to become the force they have become. >> thank you. standby. miss fiorina. the former defense secretary bob kasich says the chances of getting sunni arab forces on the ground to get the job done, his words, chances very remote. what's your strategy? >> first, i'll point out that talking tough is not the same as being strong. and to have a commander if chief accountable not two term senators that never made an executive decision in their life. one of the things i will immediately do in addition to defeating them here at home is bring back the warrior class, petraeus, mcchrystal, mad discuss, keen, flynn, every s

hillary clinton has aligned herself with barack obama on isis, iran and the economy. it's an alliance doomed to fail. my proven record suggests that and my detailed plan itself will fortify our national and economic security. my proven record as governor will give you a sense i don't make false promises. i deliver real results. for america to be safe and sound, i ask for your support. thank you all very much. >> senator rubio. >> thank you. as we near the end of this year, we enter one of the most important elections in a generation. for what's at stake in this election is not simply what party will be in charge, but our very identity as a people and a nation. for over 200 years, this has been a special country. a unique place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything. but now, millions of americans feel like they are being left behind. insecure in their future. unsafe in the face of terror. this election is about electing a president that will restore economic vibrancy so the american dream with expand to reach more people and rebuild our military and our intel

we can't be fighting isis and fighting assad, assad is fighting isis, russia is fighting now, isis, and irana time. i watched lindsey graham, he said i have been here ten years fighting. he will be there with that thinking another 50 years. he won't be able to solve the problem. we have to get rid of isis first. after we get rid of isis we'll start thinking about it. but we can't fight assad and when you fight assad you are fighting russia and a lot of different groups. >> governor christie, is he right? because if we step back, iran goes nuclear. is donald trump right? >> i think we have to focus on what the priorities are. and to me what i've always said is that the president has set up an awful situation through his deal with iran. because what his deal with iran has done is empower them and enrich them. and that's the way isis has been created and formed here. isis is created and formed because of the abuse that assad and his iranian sponsors have rained down on the sunnis in syria. when we empower iran that's why this president -- and when hillary clinton says her theory against isis wi

isis. we have reasons to be very leery. iran kind of false second two isis. that is the concern.d think we could worry about to simultaneously. obviously we cannot. >> you are absolutely right. all eyes are on isis. iran is taking advantage of that. just included in a report last month that at least up until 2009, despite all of their denials. from 2009 until right now, they are not sure. the iranians, conducting this investigation, god giving them access to facilities. i think that most of them have a wary eye on iran forever. despite an agreement. a nuclear weapon. it goes alongside these missiles that they just tested. >> pommel, always good seeing you, my friend. >> donald trump in a heap of controversy. saying it is okay to start. what if i told you that this is not going to politically hurt him one little bit? it will help him. why is that. republicans worry. has hillary clinton even more worried. we will explain. ♪ when a moment spontaneously turns romantic, why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use, is the only daily

isis, you see, is an artifact of the controversies in the region over the future shape of syria. and whether iransaudi arabia is going to dominate the region. and isis is the product of sunni struggles against the iranian bashar al assad alliance. so until you can work out the agreements between saudi arabia and iran, isis is like a franken stein, it's grown out of all proportions out of what it's original funders thought it might do. so it's out of control, but until they can agree on the politics, they can't come together to eliminate it. so it's a political problem, not a military problem. >> if you had to put together a strategy here to defeat isis? >> what i would with be doing is exactly i think what the president's doing, i would be working behind the scenes diplomacy to try the to bring the respective parties together. like last week, the saudis brought together a bunch of the jihadi groups not isis, but the others, to try to get them to work together against isis. then you've got to get the saudis an the iranians and the turks to agree. you've got to cut off the funding to isis. are we g

[ applause ] >> those iraqis were led by prime minister al maliki. he had come into office promising to heal the country's sectarian divide. instead, he inflamed it. maliki met frequently with david petraeus. >> i would have loved to have tested the proposition that it might have given us the kind of influence necessary to dissuade prime minister maliki from some of the highly sec

in fact, isis has managed to bring the whole world together. the u.s., russia, western europe, iran and china have all condemned isis. humanity agreed on, this much, was that none of us would go see "the fantastic four." but-- ( laughter ) but the strongest call for an attack on isis comes from the world's leading expert on isis, isis. because according to their literature, isis believes the armies of rome will meet the armies of islam in northern syria, which will initiate the apocalypse. so, good news for everyone who had late november in the end-of- the-world office pool. and it might sound crazy but remember, in the town of megiddo is where revelations says the battle of armageddon is going to be fought, and it's only 90 miles from damascus. i learned that from the most disturbing snapple cap ever printed. ( laughter ) but, with all the fear gripping the world, and we seem to be hurtling toward war, we can always look to the pope for a message of peace. >> pope francis saying, the world war. >> stephen: great, thanks, frank. you're not helping. here to hopefully tell me why the

killing isis leaders does not stop the global movement that has extended based on isis in iran and nigeria to the philippines. >> that poll shows 40 percent of americans believes terrorists are winning. >> check this out. an unguided iranian rocket launched in less than a mile of the aircraft carrier uss harry truman. military officials confirming it happened last week. they announced a live fire exercise and any ships in the strait shall be clear but they were unnecessarily provocative and unsafe. >>> the republicans have the presidential candidates shrinking. george pataki now bowing out of the race. in the meantime other candidates are trying harder to gain more ground just weeks before the iowa caucasuses. kristin fisher has more from washingt washington>> with pataki out the battle is intensifying. yesterday chris christie and jeb bush ganged up on marco rubio. christie said, dude, show up to work. show up to work and vote no. if you don't like it, quit. it's the same line of attack that jeb bush's super pac is now using in new ads in new hampshire. >> the last dwleers rubio missed im

issue of how quickly we get rid of assad and come together with countries including russia and iran to destroy isisst. is he wrong? >> i think we're missing the point here. we are doing both at the same time. >> that is what he is saying, we ship with that aside for now and go after isis. >> i don't agree. we will not get the support on the ground in syria to dislodge isis if the fighters there who are not associated with isis but whose principal goal is getting rid of assad, don't believe there is a political diplomatic channel that is ongoing. we now have that. >> secretary clinton is right, this is a complicated issue. i don't think anyone has a magical solution. yes, assad is a terrible dictator, but i think we have to get our foreign policy and our priorities right. who is attacking the united states. it is isis. isis is attacking france and russian airliners. the major priority right now in terms of foreign and military policy should be the destruction of isis. >> we shouldn't be the ones declaring that assad must go. where did it ever say in the constitution, where is it written that it is t

allen matis both kind of exited based on these types of warnings about iran and isis. warrior class is out of the milita military. in iraq we have a generational gap. most americans in iraq training iraqis haven't been there in a combat role. they don't know the forces they're working with. we already have a generational gap not only in our intelligence community but also in our guys training iraqis on the ground. they need to know who these forces are. so i heard bits and pieces that would work if they were one strategies. bits and pieces. but i didn't hear one candidate have a xrstrategy that would fi this. i think rubio came closest to be honest. >> interest there you go. michael, thank you so much. >> i appreciate it. >>> just in to cnn, plans for president obama we're learning to xrist san bernardino. and the fbi revealing new details about the shooters before the attack and the private messages they actually exchanged before they got married. >>> plus, more breaking news out of baltimore. we were just talking about that jury involved in the freddie gray trial, th
