so dick durbin says we're not going to do this, we're not going to do that. i want to hear what he says when they attack us in the united states. i lost hundreds of constituents on 9/11. i never want to do that again. we see this coming. so for the president to say we're doing air strikes, we're not going to use american combat troops, we're not going to do this, we're not going to do that. what kind of leadership is that? you should not let the enemy know. >> if these goals are not achieved through an air strike campaign of some duration, what would you call for america to do? >> first of all, we should take nothing off the table. we start off with massive air attacks. i think doing them from aircraft carriers is limiting them. we should use bases in the area so we can have more sustained air attacks. we should be aggressively arming the kurds. we -- the president says that once there's a unity government in iraq, we will fight alongside and work with the iraqi army. start doing that now. why wait months and months before the iraqi government is back in plac

dick durbin, the majority whip in the senate from illinois saying that the white house has planned aul strategy for iraq designed to make sure there is no escalation. in fact, dick durbin said i can tell you escalation is not in the cards. >> neither the american people or congress are in the bids of wanting to escalate this conflict beyond where it is today. i think the president made it clear this is a limited strike. he has, i believe, most congressional support for that at this moment . to go beyond is really going to be a challenge. >> one footnote, the state department issuing late word on sunday saying that the connell sulate inner benefit bill and the embassy in baghdad are sending diplomats to secret locations in order that they be safer than they are right now. state department says the consulate and the embassy is still open for business but with the diplomats gone, it means their work will be slowed down. >> john terrett in washington. christopher swift at georgetown university has been keeping a close eye on the unfolding situation in iraq. he says the u.s. will probably

dick durbin said there are great problems ahead. there are not great problems for the united states because we're leaving. for the foreseeable future as far as i can tell, in foreign policy america is under this president a spectator. someone else's game from the ukraine to syria to gaza to iraq, the united states is looking on and commenting, the president's comment was that afghanistan isn't a perfect place, it qualifies as the understatement of the year and, again, the passivity of the united states is the story. >> that actually from a may speech where he talks about afghanistan. listen to this. afghanistan and then iraq, the president on these policy issues. >> the bottom line is it's time to turn the page on more than a decade in which so much of our foreign policy was focused on the wars in afghanistan and iraq. we have to recognize that afghanistan will not be a perfect place. and it is not america's responsibility to make it one. the future of afghanistan must be decided by afghans. there's no military solution inside of ir

senator dick durbin announced his support last night outside the drug store. also been critical of the deal with the north chicago based pharmaceutical company in which announced its creation of a new company headquarters on the island of jersey. yesterday the senator sent a letter to the president urging him to use executive authority to eliminate tax breaks the seceded with inversion. walgreen's will be rewarded with customer loyalty in its decision to stay. >> customers across the country and the state who have been loyal to walgreen's for their whole lives and they believe walgreen's should be loyal to the united states. >> customers may be pleased but investors not so much. shares fell on the news in early afternoon trading yesterday as much as 70% for rebounding. >>taking a look at the other top stories this morning. chicago police are looking for a man who attacked a woman in broad daylight next to a busy c-t-a orange stop on the southwest side. it happened just before 9 a-m last thursday. the victim was walking through this parking lot at the orange li

want to play a little of dick durbin with david gregory an "meet the press." problem is not only republican critics. >> escalating it is not in the cards. neither the american people nor congress are in the business of wanting to escalate this confluct beyond where it is today. >> and chris cillizza. the president now has no partner in baghdad. so if the iraqi forces have to be working with u.s. forces to minimize american exposure here, maliki is now, you know, off on his own and deploying the army to keep himself in power. >> the question here, too, andrea, politically and from a policy perspective, what is the end goal? if the end goal is getting down off the mountain, can we do that with what dick durbin just talked about. president obama is saying very clearly there will be notice american troops on the ground. what does success look like? that's the question we keep coming up against in this sort of modern age which is what does winning look like and are we willing to do the things, militarily, that can make that happen? the truth of the matter is the am

this is something that dick durbin specifically said he is supportive of.u send an evenrization like this, advisory trips, members of congress targeting worried. >> thank you, phil mattingly, from washington. >> we will continue our discussion this morning. we have two wonderful guests. willis sparks is with your ages -- eurasia group. david servos is with jeffries. bring us up-to-date within a synthesis of eurasia group of iraq. where is the dynamic right now? when you are talking to your colleagues. it is an awful stalemate. you have a group of jihadi's, the so-called islamic state, that controlled certain portions of western iraq, but they're probably not strong enough to take baghdad. part of this larger story that we've seen with the u.s. troops is to protect the kurdish areas, which are in oil-rich part of iraq. at the same time, the iraqi government in baghdad does not have the power to get rid of these guys. >> a week ago, there is a tanker off of houston the cubs baghdad says, no. the kurds have the oil on that .anker that is their oil, not our oil

ambassador, let me play a defender of the president, dick durbin, and what he said over the weekend. >> only iraq can save iraq. the president has stepped in because of threatened genocide. i support that. bringing food and water to the people dying on the mountaintop, of course the united states should do that. the bottom line is there is so much we can do to help the iraqis help themselves, but ultimately they have to save their own country. >> let the iraqis save themselves. >> it is not just a question of direct. it is a question of isis tried to attack other countries in the region. it is not just syria. a couple of days ago there was an attack against the lebanese military. the jordanian king was on the phone with the president of the united states on the weekend before he left for martha's vineyard because the king of isdan is worried that isis trying to take over border towns inside of jordan. that is why the criticism is valid, and with respect to dick durbin, the issue is not isis, but american policy toward isis in the middle east. >> phil mattingly, the president is now a

dick durbin blasted the $11.4 billion deal. he said today how disappointed he is in, quote, burger king's decision to renounce it's american citizenship. billionaire investor warren buffet whose company is financing part of the deal is now in damage control over the tax breaks that burger king will get by becoming a canadian company. buffet, as you recall, is famous for calling on america's wealthy to pay their fair share to your honor sam. his participation in this deal puts him in a #wal #awkward position. burger king is the latest of a company who purchases a foreign firm and then moves into its headquarters. they continue to operate in america but by doing so they take advantage of lower tax rates outside of the united states. burger king denies that this deal is about denying uncle sam it's due. it says he's merging with tim horton because it's opening new business vistas for the company. still inversions let companies transfer money that is made outside of the united states to the parent company without paying additional

it is worth pointing out that illinois is a mess under dick durbin.ourth highest taxes in the developed world. that is why companies are actually leaving. leon e. a. so this notion of erecting walls to keep companies in. as frightening of that notion is . >> if you look back at history certainly 30 years ago this country did a lot of things to help companies build a good american companies. now you have anti corporate policies, particularly when it comes to taxes. and he is right. how many companies are trying to get out of illinois. texas governor rick perry trying to get these companies out. >> the patent situation. >> one thing i come away with it neil: the tax situation was so lopsided here. of course they're going to go where taxes are lower. why don't we make it easier for them to make the decision. >> if they had the opportunity to pay zero taxes i am sure we would take it, but it is probably not good for the country. neil: but the 40%. you know, what are you going to do? >> you know, in the case of most companies i think conservatives tend to

senator dick durbin attended a breakfast at crown point hotel this morning.rying to get pumped up for the november election. some democrats up for reelection say they are worried about their chances in november. >> i'm concerned about it. probably one of the most highly contested races i have experienced. >> it is going to be a hard year for democrats. all of us knew that coming in. we will be working very hard. we are working better than ever as a team. the gun >> and is hosting a manny rally. republicans will host their festivities to mark. tomorrow. >> investor shrugging off international violence and showing more confidence. the dow was up about 85. not following today's trend to see world stocks of emerging. shares of the amusement park drastically falling. this comes after increased pressure and protests over the company's captured and treatment of killer whales. sea world said overalandhas had a negative impact on the park. sea world has defended its practices. sang they consider the welfare of the animals a top priority. >> imagining a fund that has n

and i'd recommend to you, and you'll laugh but i am right, joe biden, dick durbin, mcconnell was verygood politically, and that is, you know, they know how to say things in a way that attracts the most voters while repelling the fewest number of voters. the job of a political commentator like me and like most of the people, you know, we see on tv and read and everything, we're trying to change people's minds. a politician has to take the voters as they are and win their votes. and aiken just makes me angry because he could have withdrawn, and it's just so narcissistic of him. he claims he cares about abortion. he has now made it harder, perhaps impossible be, to overturn roe v. wade. we need to take the senate. the senate confirms supreme court nominees. and, you know, after this huge -- it's not like anyone did this to him. it wasn't like the republican party went to the polls and said, oh, we think this other candidate would be stronger. would you mind withdrawing? no. this was a self-inflicted wound. nobody should have even had to the ask. he should have just said, oh, okay, guys,

reason for the phrase stupid party i guess because the democrats are still -- elizabeth warren and dick durbinare pushing up my proposal the student loan callback. why republicans are waiting for democrats to do that i don't know what it does make sense and it's a good idea no matter who's behind it because right now the incentives have been entirely one-sided for universities to scarf up as much federally subsidized loan monies they can and leave students out there suffering and there are a lot of students out there suffering. as all these changes i've talked about happened i predict what we will see is what we have seen when most comfy quasi-monopolistic or guild like industries change. it's better to be an airline captain before airline deregulation and i'm sorry to say this because it has personal resonance to me, it's better to be a tenured full professor under the system we have had for the last several decades and is likely to be over the next several decades. but especially for the last 20 years the confidence we have enjoyed in the academy has really been largely built on the backs of

fact that this technique is being brow beaten, both by obama and also their home state senator, dick durbin, i think that absolutely did play a role. so, maybe as some people feared, all these companies are going to be fleeing the united states, like dodger fans after the seventh inning or something like that. they just might stick around. >> jimmy, you know, it's interesting, too, because we look back -- a lot of the charts that say, you know, look at our percentage of revenue from corporations, it was much higher back in the past, and it was. but also, in the '70s and '60s and the '50s, there was really no risk of companies moving to dublin, because it just wasn't technically, logistically feasible. how do we fix that? you can't compare this to even 20 years ago. >> no, no. i mean, whenever you talk about what taxes used to be, like the 1950s and '60s -- >> well, people do. they say i used to pay a lot more! >> it was a completely different environment. you didn't have all of the international competition. but listen, what i would do is quit worrying about this. i mean, i just recently wr

what dick durbin and president obama just said is really a shame for american leadership. we can't wait for maliki or the iraqi leadership. this is becoming a direct threat to the united states of america. they are more powerful now than al qaeda was on 9/11. so dick durbin says, we're not going to do this, we're not going to do that, i want to see what he's going to say when they attack the united states. >> keir simmons is joining us. hello, keir. >> reporter: dozens of refugees grasping for aid from a kurdish helicopter. one boy clings on. just 20 made it on board. thousands are cut off by isis and families are fleeing any way they can in temperatures of more than 110 degrees, this child just five days old, 4,000 have taken refuge in a church. there are just crowds of families here, people just carrying their children down the side of the church. parents struggle to hold it together. nadal holds her 10-month-old baby. isis told her to wear an islamic shawl or be killed. please, they beg, help stop isis. >> army, army america. >> reporter: the president's promise, no boo

neil: hadley, this is interesting, not all politicians are liking this, dick durbin in illinois saying wait a minute, so they're going to give pause to this, where is this going? >> whether or not warren buffett wanted to thrust himself back into a u.s. tax policy debate he has by participating in the deal. it should be an opportunity, neil, to have conversation about america's corporate tax rate which is the highest in the world at 40%. canada about 26%. not a surprise that tim hortons wants to stay in canada, they're a canadian brand and should ask whether other u.s. corporations have incentives to move overseas or new corporations have the incentive to incorporate in the united states. we have a lot to offer in terms of stability and great justice system, the tax rate is detrimental to corporations who have to pay the full rate. neil: read between the lines and bk saying it has no intention right now to leave the united states, and i'm wondering does that mean down the road it would? >> they could be buying time, there was a lot of hostility by burger king fans on the website it loo

illinois-based walgreen's considered moving, the senator from illinois dick durbin wrote a letter to the head -- a mixture of threats in which he said, gosh, your stores have been an important part of our neighborhood for many, many years. he thinks the storms are moving. >> the push now is this piece of legislation about inversion. not about the corporate tax reform. >> not only legislation but the president is talking about executive action from a change of regulations within the irs. that at best, because there has been legislation under the bush administration to stop tax inversions, which obviously has not worked. they are talking about some executive regulatory action, which you can be sure they will find later. the tax extenders bill, which is on the loopholes is a $400 billion over 10 years item. get rid of that thing and we're talking about real reform. as george says, the amount of money in inversions is a rounding error. >> warren buffett can say anything he wants about minimizing his taxes. he can. it's legal. on a personal side if he says it's a fair ideaed for everybody

and he said they don't do anything but block me and then dick durbin added that because the folks only block him and call him names president obama would quote borrow the power that is needed to solve the powers of immigration. he would borrow it. like you borrow your neighbor's cup of sugar but you never give it back because you used it. when power is borrowed it isn't restored. president obama is happy to bar repower because the left is fundamentalally opposed to the constitution of the united states and the founding concepts of american freedom and liberty. i disagree with david slightly with the president being a communist. in my view the president is beyond that. he is an anilist and wants to tear down the system solely for the sake of tearing down the system. it isn't about establishing quality or to avoid poverty. it is about tearing down the system purely. there are folks on the left who see the constitution as deterant. it was said by one i would not look to the united states constitution if i were drafting one in 2012. i might look at the south african constitution. they embr

senator dick durbin from illinois blasted this $11.5 billion deal. he said he's disappointed in, quote, burger kings decision to renounce it's american citizenship. here's the thing. warren buffet is financing part of this deal. he's no in damage control over the fax breaks that burger king is going to get by becoming a canadian company. as you know buffet is famous for calling on its wealthy to pay its fair share of taxes to uncle sam. now this deal puts him in an awkward position. and just the last one of wave of infections sweeping cooperate america when they move in with a smaller one and move into their heard quarters abroad and pay lower taxes. people are getting mad at it. >> that seems typical to me, but doesn't burger king deny that it's moving to canada for tax reasons? >> yes, and i deny that i'm bald. they acquired tim hortons. it's a jewel. wendy's bought it and then went independent again. they've got a lot more outlets in canada than burger king will ever have. it's not to say that these acquisitions is only for taxes but why does burg

you had dick durbin basically telling ceo of walgreens, you have a nice store here.t would be, it would be a shame if somebody burned it down. i didn't say that. he said look, would be a shame if customers didn't come here or didn't get the medicare or medicaid contracts. i find this to be very, very threatening, to our free market system that businesses are telling, being told by politicians how to run their business. >> they're not quite passing a law but getting really close to, i mean -- >> they don't have to pass the law. president just uses his pen. >> exactly. >> if they go that extra step where they start pushing these businesses, i mean, i'm going to say the word, this is fascism. >> yes, exactly. >> facism is government controlling private business. i'm not saying fascist state. don't misquote me, media matters. we're entering the point where government starts controlling large business what they do that is facism. >> president obama is calling what companies are doing, gaming the system. the system happens to be the highest corporate tax rate in the world.

senator dick durbin wrote, i'm disappointed to burger king to renounce their american citizenship. i talk about companies mulling the tax dodge to reconsider. on congress to protection u.s. taxpayers to avoid these schemes. democrats are talkingcalling for boycott and penalties on companies that move their headquarters outside the u.s. a group that represents foreign businesses that invest in the united states, congressional or executive changes to inversions could hurt foreign investment in the u.s. >> it's a political diversion. it is an issue that is distracting policymakers from pursuing policies that could actually have an impact onions and growth. >> republicans mostly stayed away from the issue of the they say any short term curbs to inversions would have unintended consequences. these inversions are more proof that congress need to overhaul the entire tax code. gerri? gerri: i really want to know the white house reaction to warren buffett today because this to me is a very big headline. >> you know, the white house is refusing comment on any specific inversion deal especial

or other terrorists involved in today's attack, it still was terrorism and even a top democrat, dick durbin, admitted this shows that there are going to be great problems ahead, not just in afghanistan but iraq as well. shannon. >> very complicated. ed, thank you. >>> this latest attack raises new concerns about the future of afghanistan. the taliban is not claiming responsibility, but it is praising the attackers who carried out this attack. andy mccarthy is contributing editor of the national review and a former federal prosecutor. thanks for joining us tonight. all right, if it does turn out that this is the taliban, we have a very complicated relationship with them in afghanistan. our state department has not designated them with the particular label that would mean we could really go after them and their assets. why haven't we? >> they won't designate the taliban as a terrorist organization because they're negotiating with the taliban. and i think personally i believe they're setting the groundwork for an ultimate taliban re-taking of afghanistan and make it look like a negotiated solu

where's dick durbin from? illinois. where's the president originally from. illinois. little influence going on there. a lot of that makes some sense. >> really? >> when you see reimbursement and connection they have with the government, a lot of that really does tell you why, maybe, they've been influenced. doesn't change the idea, though, some tay they might say the heck with it. we will invert in a different time. >> and when winds have cooled. made troerchs that specifically. derive a large part of revenues from government reimbursement programs. and also that they are perceived as an american icon. >> right. >> to the consumer. so don't want to invert and go overseas. >> great environment when sbis threatened. good. >> basically bullied. they're bullied by the political landscape. >> doesn't change the fact they could some day decide to make a decision, know what? haven't done anything with this corporate, the loss -- >> make you more positive on the stock? >> today at 57.58 i miss it. a great opportunity. if it pulls back to there, i think is, at $60 a share trad

you also had senator nmike lee, from utah, who, in bipartisan effort with senators dick durbin and pathy put forward changes for sentencing reform. we're seeing bipartisan effort. this is one of those areas where you have the left and the tea party right coming together to support changes to policy that can hopefully fix our justice system. >> on ferguson, does paul represent where republicans are? >> not necessarily. this is not the first time he's talked about this. he's doing speeches on sentencing reform. trying to go into the heart of black communities. this is an important message. if you have a republican candidate, republican nominee, perhaps, talking about this, it is significant to the party. i'm not sure the base of the party is with him. but he's leading the way. we're seeing this liberal, libertarians coming together on this. >>> we'll be back in 30 seconds. >>> i'm finally who i'm supposed to be. do you understand? i can't go back. >> "orange is the new black." one of its breakout stars, laverne cox. a woman born biologically male became the first transgendered emmy actin

powerful man on earth whining, and he also said, they don't do anything except block me and then dick durbin, last week, added, that because these folks only block him and call him names, president obama would, quote, borrow the power needed to solve the problems of immigration. borrow them. like you borrow your neighbor's cup of sugar, except you never give back the cup of sugar because you used. when power is borrowed it's never restored. president obama is happy to borrow power because the left is fundamentally opposed to constitution of the united states and opposed to the basic founding concepts of mesh freedom and liberty and seek to tear it down. i disagree slightly with david in terms of the president being a communist. he knows communism better than i do so i'll did he ever to his definition of communism but in any my view the president wants to tear down the system for the stake of tearing down the system. it's not about seasoning equality or a basic standard of rights or to avoid poverty. it's about tearing down the system purely and simply. there are folks on the left who see the

if corporations are people, can they be rewarded for, to quote democratic senator dick durbin, renouncingheir citizenship? jared bernstein is the former chief economic adviser to vice president joe biden. is this essentially a reward for renouncing a corporate person's u.s. citizenship? >> well, i think you can certainly legitimately put it that way since once you engage in this kind of corporate inversion, you're typically facing not just a lower tax rate. and by the way, that's been somewhat misunderstood. many of these firms already pay quite low corporate tax rates because there's so many loopholes in our corporate code. that's not that hard to do. you just hire yourself up some sharp tax lawyers. what they really want to do is to further avoid u.s. taxation on profits that they will continue to make in this country. there's two ways they do that. it's calling earning stripping and hopscotching. but the point is that, yes, this is a move based on lowering the amount of u.s. taxes that you pay. >> i should mention that we did contact burger king for a statement. we were directed to thi

dick durbin, for example, saying that the president could not necessarily count on democratic congressional support should there be a broadening of the mission, but having said that, white house officials continue to emphasize here there is no plan for that. this is a strictly focused mission. there will be no boots on the ground. >> chris, thank you so much. >>> up next, we're just under two hours away now from a truce between israel and hamas. some say this could clear the way for talks about a longer cease-fire. we'll have an update from gaza. >>> plus, more than 20 kids have died in hot cars this year. wi a 17-year-old has invented something that could save lives. i'm going to be talking to her a little later in today's "big idea." take 4 advil in a day or just 2 aleve for all day relief. peanuts! peanuts! crowd cheers! ♪ who's more excited about back to school savthe ladies?ples? these guys? or these guys? when you get guaranteed low prices on everything you buy the most, everybody gets excited! staples. make more happen for less. ♪ ♪ ♪here i am. rock you like a hurricane♪ fiber one no

and just going back to dick durbin, that was a historic debate on the house floor, and that was the beginningf the banning of smoking on airplanes in the united states, and we still are in your debt, dick, for that day. it changed the whole course of history. my father died from lung cancer. he smoked two pax of camels -- packs of camels a day. he told me at age 12, he said he knew i'd be starting the smoke very soon, he said to me at age 12. because that's what year he started to smoke, and he knew i would too. and he was urging me not to, as was my mother, at age 12. because my father knew then that when he started smoking, maybe in 1930 -- huh? that the same thing was going to to be true when i was a boy, and the same thing is true today for boys and girls. that's when the temptation is greatest, and that's when we have to be most most aware of it. because the marketing to them is what makes it seductive, and then once you've got 'em, you have got 'em for life. so that's really why we're having this hearing, because the marketing of this, the allure of this so superficially attractive that

he also said they don't do anything except block me and then dick durbin last week added that because these folks on the block him and call him names of a president obama would quote borrowed the power that is needed to solve the problems of immigration. sort of like you've are your neighbors cup of sugar. except you never give back the cup of sugar because you use it. when power is far, it's never restored. president obama is very happy to borrow power because as david mentioned, the west is fundamentally opposed to the constitution of the united states. they are fundamentally opposed to american freedom and liberty. he seeks to tear it down. i disagree slightly with david in terms of the president ena communist. total deferred to his definition of communism, but in my view the president is beyond that. he wants to tear down the system almost solely for the sake of tearing down the system. it's not even about establishing equality for a basic standard of rights. it is about tearing down the system purely and simply. now there are folks on the left to see the constitution of the unite

joe biden, dick durbin, mcconnell is good politically and they know how to say things in a way that attracts voters. the job of a commenitator is we are trying to change people's mind. a politician has to take the voters like they are and win their vote. aikin could have withdrawn. he claims he cares about abortion and he made it harder and impossible to overturn roe versus wade. the senate confirm supreme court nominees and we need to take the senate. it wasn't like the republican party went into the poll and said we think the other candidate is stronger would you withdraw? no this was a self-inflicted wound. he should have said say no more, i am out. he checks with his campaign manager, wife, his publicist, his son -- and they pray together and decide he is going to stay in the race and we lost an easy pickup. keep your eye on the ball, republicans. we have to win elections. we cannot do anything if we don't win elections. you notice there is one senator, my second most-hated senator, mccain's number one, is lindsay grahm and i didn't say anything about that election because i didn't think

you what play for senator dick durbin said over the weekend. escalating it is not in the cards. think the president has made it clear this is a limited strike. congressional support for that at this moment. to go beyond is going to be a challenge. >> where would he get the full support to launch a more aggressive campaign? >> he is going to have to have a plan and strategy that people in.evaluating them believe the problem is in all of these issues, the president is too late. isis did not materialize out of an air. it is a threat that has been evolving and forming. this was something the united states could have seen and should have reacted to. is in a delay in taking action and showing leadership. it makes every situation that much more worse and difficult. a makes it that much more of threat to our own national security. disagree. the president cannot conduct of foreign policy by polling because right now, the american people may not be comfortable with certain types of escalation. it is his opportunity to make the case for why we need to do more now, let's the united -- s est

just in political skills and i would recommend to you and you will laugh but i'm right, joe biden, dick durbin, mcconnell was very good politically and they know how to say things in a way that attracts the most voters while repelling the fewest number of voters. the job of a political commentator like me and you see on tv, we are trying to change people's minds. a politician has to take the voters like they are and when their votes. aiken just makes me angry because he could have lived on. it's just so narcissistic of him. he claims he cares about abortion. he has now made it harder perhaps impossible to overturn roe v. wade. we need to take the senate. the senate confirms supreme court nominees. after this huge, it's not like anyone did this to him. it wasn't like the republican party took a poll that said we think is other candidate would be stronger. would you mind with drying? know that this was a self-inflicted wound. he should have said okay guys say no more, i'm out but no hx this campaign manager, his wife, his campaign publicist, his son and they pray together which also makes me wan

. >> what does this mean for senator dick durbin and his support, which has been questionable for president obama, saying don't escalate? >> the biggest issue is his support has been contingent on the humanitarian side of this mission, on helping them on the top of this mountain f. that situation all the sudden clears up, what is the rationale then for the administration to expand or even continue the air strikes that have been going on, the push to figure out some type of way to push back? i think with the u.s. is trying to work on right now, what you've seen a lot of out of germany, out of france, out of the u.k., you're starting to get a sense of this in international coalition, based on arming the kurdish forces, based on supporting u.s. air strikes. that will help. lawmakers are a lot more comfortable when they don't feel like the u.s. is going at it aloneful that will help going forward. >> phil mattingly, thank you so much, reporting from washington. scarlet? >> our guest host this hour, of rd lindzon, co-founder stockwits. i want to start with the contrast that we talked about what
