asad's army is already on the ground.we probably are coordinating on some level so they're not shooting down our airplanes. i'm pretty adamant about the fact this needs to be fought by asad. this is his problem, his city and the turks are the ones that should pony up. >> i think you need boots on the ground. i think you need lots of them. >> i agree with you. >> i think this is going to be -- you partner with asad. if you're going to go fight somebody, you fight with him. >> i agree. lewders in iraq anbar province pleaded for them to stop relentless assault. they've threatened to abandon weapons if the u.s. military does not intervene. okay. we cannot pinprick this, piece male it. we have to go hard, we have to go fast, we have to go strong. >> it's the politics that are dictating the war. >> we have to go to the matches. we're the united states of america, the super power of the world, we have the best military in the world and we need to wipe them off the face of the earth. >> but i don't think it should just be us. i t

it was asad's brutal war against his own people that allowed isil to take root. he is the root of the problem and cannot be part of the solution. [ applause ] a few hundred miles to the north, we face a very different challenge. for decades, britain stood firm in the face of the neurocollar threat from the soviet union. shoulder-to-shoulder with our american allies until we achieved freedom over communism. and in the 25 years since that . offering investments, trade, and partnership. but by his illegal annexation of crimea, by supplying the missile that murdered 298 innocent people on flight mh-17, and by sending russian troops into eastern ukraine, putin has torn up the rulebook and chosen the path of confrontation. we should be proud that britain has led the way in securing far-reaching sanctions, sending the message that russia's illegal behavior will not be tolerated. [ applause ] and neither will we allow our nato allies in eastern europe to be bullied. let me remind mr. putin that a threat to any nato member will get a response from us all. that's why we se

>> the turks, the iranians and the asad. >> our nato allies are the turks. where are they?om line, it's in our national security interest not to sit around and have other people take care of this. >> let's talk about your book and the billionaires. talk about the role that you're seeing in the reporting today. that they're waiting until the last couple of weeks, these right wing, wealthy billionaires -- that's redundant -- are going to drop a ton of money. >> 2014 is going to become the battle of the billionaires. these are smart business guys. they're going to look at, you know, seven or eight key senate races that ultimately are going to decide -- control the senate. they're going to focus on the three or four where putting a million in, five million or even ten million is going to move the needle one or two percentage points. >> under the law, is there any limit? >> there's no limit what they can spend, if they're working through non-profit organizations. they don't even have to rorpt the expenditure. so from the voter standpoint, it's probablymatic. the messenger is as

they should get involved but asad doesn't like the kurds and he doesn't like isis so he's staying out>> our president didn't appear to make this a priority until it was critical. >> our president is all talk and no action. dick's sporting goods c.e.o. is apologizing to a 12-year-old little girl saying he messed up by failing to include female athletes in its 2014 basketball catalog. peterson's letter to the company drew lots of attention after her father tweeted it. in it she wrote, i think that girls should be treated as equally as boys are treated. it's hard enough for girls to break through in this sport as it is without you guys excluding us from your catalog. dick's c.e.o. said i can personally guarantee that next year's basketball catalog will prominently feature female athletes. as a dad and former coach, i understand first hand the importance of kids in sports. what do you think, harris? >> well, why did it take public outcry and pushing and all of that to get him to make a statement that he loves his children and everybody should be included? i don't doubt he loved his kids l

they want to fight the assad regime, they don't believe isis can be solved without attacking the is asad regime as well. they believe assad is the magnet for terrorism. the turks believe that also. they don't think the u.s. campaign against isis in syria say serious one, don't think it has a chance of working unless they're included. they really want to be included but coming around to the cold realization that the u.s. doesn't want them to be included, and that's disheartening for them as they continue to lose this fight in syria. >> it's disheartening nor the world to watch these air strikes not being effective and isis continues to advance as well. josh rogin thanks for your time. >> any time. >>> still to come, kim jong-un seen now a cane. new pictures deepening the mystery surrounding this north korean leader. ♪ want to change the world? create things that help people. design safer cars. faster computers. smarter grids and smarter phones. think up new ways to produce energy. ♪ be an engineer. solve problems the world needs solved. what are you waiting for? changing the world is part

that is disaster if they don't relief units at al-asad airbase to resupply them.3% gives isis controlver that entire part of the country. melissa: house homeland security chairman michael mccall saying that the lone wolf attacks we've seen recently in canada and seemingly here in the u.s. proves that isis is winning this war. what do you think about that comment? >> well miss, the lone wolf is undetectable or unpredictable until he or she attacks. how we deal with that threat in because of our first and fourth amendment. melissa: the head of al qaeda, al qaeda leader calling for release of this most recent hostage. peter kassig saying he should spare his life. do you think that has any weight? >> isis has released some hostages. it is most brutal terrorist organization we ever heard of. they put children on stakes and christians. given intervention of someone else it could happen. it could be sadly enough just another cruel ploy to his loved once that there might be a possibility of release before he is tortured to death. melissa: colonel north, thanks for coming on. >> better news ne

>> well, anbar province is a risk and i think there is one airbase there, al-asad airbase, which is stillnds of the iraqi army. we need to move some of these apache attack helicopters that we have in baghdad out in that direction. i think baghdad is now, the threat is really to the airport in baghdad i think because they're getting to within rocket range, the isis is of the airport there. that is the key now. we need a stepped up air campaign in iraq and syria and eventually we'll need american forward air controllers, intelligence forces and special operators on the ground now. martha: that is the commitment the at administration has not made at this point. ambassador bremer, thank you very much. a lot of questions coming up on "the new york times" piece as well. good to have you with us today. >> nice to be with you. bill: kansas city royals, they are hot on fire. baltimore orioles, mike mustakas, has gps on his brain. look at that, tracking. what a catch. royals looking to be in the world series first time in 29 years. game 4 is today. meanwhile, great catch. the giants have taken a 2-

authors of a tax against the colonial governor of new york in 1734 and thus was himself charged with is asad ishs libel. a century later in 1848, news of the treaty of guadalupe hidalgo ending the mexican-american war was first reported to the american people after a newspaper reporter, john nugent of the "new york herald" was told of the still secret terms. nugent spent a month basically under house arrest in the capitol. 50 years after that in 1896, john morris, a "baltimore sun" reporter, reported that a number of elected officials were taking payoffs from gaming sources. when he refused to name his source before the grand jury, he was in prison until the grand jury's term expired. the significance of this case is that this jailing prompted baltimore journalists to push for the then unheard of legislation that would protect them from having to reveal sources identities in court, a reporter's privilege, much like the spousal privilege or the doctor-patient privilege. the statute has been amended a few times but the state has never felt the need to rescind the protection. in the centuries s
