navy captain, chuck nash. captain nash, whose side are the chinese on? >> i think they're on their own side. they don't want islamists to get any kind of nuclear device because they're dealing with the problem in the western part of their own country, with the uighurs, we had folks locked up in gitmo about two weeks ago. liz: can you tell our viewers what uighurs are? >> yes, they are muslims that live in the western part of china up against where afghanistan connects to the chinese border, it's out in that area there. and they have been a problem inside china, the chinese consider them a terrorist group. they've staged raids and other bombings and things like that so the chinese government has zero tolerance for these folks. liz: good to clarify, because we never know what the chinese are thinking. let's get to isis, to muslim extremists, and about a year ago moldovan police stopped four attempts by russian smugglers to sell nuclear material to extremists in the middle east. on that video that you see, they specifically told undercover agents, we'll sel

retired navy captain chuck nash, our fox news military strategist. maybe you could try to make some sense of all of this, because on monday, vladimir putin pulled thousands of troops out of syria, then thursday russia claims to have conducted some 25 air strikes against isis. why the continflicting messagesd actions from moscow regarding its military presence in syria this past week? >> first off, you can't really trust anything the russians say. we've got pretty good eyes on the air space over syria from turkey and also from airborne platforms flying in iraq. so we have a good idea what's going on in syria, and if they were conducting air strikes i'm pretty sure we would know about it. the real thing here, julie, is that vladimir putin has played this thing like a stradivarius. he went in with a limited incurrings with a clear set of objectives, which was to stave assad regime and put the momentum and the military effort back into the government forces, which he has done, and now he's minimized the cost, the risk, and the complexity of that operatio

the retired navy captain analyst chuck nash joins us. brothers known by police and we have heard this before. authorities know about these radicalized young men and how can we stop these types of atrocities? >> i think one of the biggest problems and when you look at europe you can put them in the land mass and there are 15 million east of the mississippi. they are in the isolated pockets and the ghettos if you will. it is in areas and it is totally isolated areas within the society. people who are being radicalized and it is not the syrian refugees of the that's the real threat that people are looking at as the most current threat. those radicals are falling into and being welcomed into communities that are disuh of coursed it. it -- disaffected and it goes back a generation to world war ii when they needed cheap labor. in germany they brought in the turks and the moroccans came to spain and pakistanis came to england. 1k3 they were never really accepted. they never truly integrated into the society. so the parents or grandparents of th

carl higby and captain chuck nash. let's start with this torture thing.he american public want this. we have seen what happened in brussels. we have seen what happened after the arrests happened. this is a virtual race against time. we are racing against the clock every single day. this may be the ultimate tool, no? >> the ticking bomb scenario plays out in this discussion all the time. this is not jack bow everywhere the ends justify the means. the youth said we don't do torture, that's just the way it is. pending some catastrophic thing where we throw that out the window, it's not going to happen. and nobody is going to risk their retirement and all the money they saved for $federal prosecutor to come after them after retirement because they did something they weren't supposed to do. charles: was the ultimate risk not saving a life? >> i would sacrifice or potentially sacrifice my retirement or evening to do that to terrorists to get that information out of them. even if it doesn't, who cares, they are terrorists and they are here to kill us. i don't ho

republican congressman marsha blackburn and captain chuck nash, and the ambassador's going to stay withas well. president obama, of course, he spoke about the tragedy today ahead of his planned speech in cuba. by the way, the speech -- he addressed us 51 seconds long. he says the u.s. will do whatever it can later on in the day, he kept to his schedule, caught the game with the tampa bay rays and the cuban national -- look at this, guys. president obama doing the wave. that's a tough, tough scene to swallow juxtaposed to what we see coming out of brussels. congresswoman blackburn, the country is torn on this, and there a sort of notion th, hey, it' not our problem, we shouldn't fiddle around with it, ope deal with it, but is that misguided? >> well, i don't think the country is that torn on this, charles. i think that as you look at the political season and the presidential, national security is the top issue. and people want us to address this issue with isis. they are sick of this. whether it's chattanooga or san bernardino, they want to see this issue addressed. they don't want the t

joining us retired naval aviator and fox news contributor, captain chuck nash.ash, thank you for weighing in this morning. >> good morning. maria: how is it possible that hickeroards a flig goi om axanda toairoeari expsiveelt d ab to jack pla andringt do in crus? >> if it turns out he was wearing a explosive belt, that is yet to be determined. he could have been irwag something he said was explosive belt. maria: he was threatening. we do not know for sure it was in fact explosives. >> so it may not have been a security failure. if in fact he was wearing something that was an explosive device you can start looking at it as security failure. you recall it was just in on board a russian aircraft that blew up. so, you know, two hits on the egyptian security program would not be a good deal because egypt depends very heavily on the tourist trade and if people are afraid to travel to and from the egypt, then their economy is going to take a hit. maria: i think it already has, dagen mcdowell. >> chuck, good to see you. in fact the egyptian government at end of last yea

joining us right now, retired navy captain chuck nash, also fox news military analyst.ou for joining us as always, captain. >> my pleasure, patti ann. patti ann: what is your reaction. supposedly the number two guy for isis. he was taken by u.s. forces in pinpoint strike. how significant is this? >> to get the number two guy in obviously significant. there is room in the organization for people to move up and certainly somebody will. what i'm interested to find out because it seems we don't keep things secret anymore, we'll probably learn how it was done, who was involved and things like that. but if it was a ground operation, if indeed was a ground operation it's a gutsy move because obviously isis people are not just hanging around. you got to go keep inside to get them and they're probably very well-protected especially if you're in upper leadership like that. patti ann: we're also hearing from reuters that the second subway bombing suspect may have been taken into custody. there was someone who we were still looking for from the suicide bomb on subway in brussels a

military contributor chuck nash on the future of iraq.the so-called supreme leader backing the revolutionary guard and taking a hard line with respect to it is all about might, muscle and maybe being an offensive threat to the world. >> the iranians are not fools. they understand strength and weakness and they see us and the rest of the west without the political will to stand up to our words. we are so in love with our soaring rhetoric and want to believe what we are saying that we are disregarding the fact. the iranians are not fools, they are acting on it. they don't care what we say, they care what we do and we should recipient with what they do. stuart: charles: once the supreme leader tweeted this out, the former president of he ran went against him saying the future is in dialogue, not missiles, not long ago we felt, some people felt america missed an opportunity to help the moderates within a ran, provide tools and enough help to have an internal revolution. is this a positive sign that someone is speaking against them? >> what we
