fred fleitz, great to have you, fred. very quick, unexpected move, to move under the 11th marine expeditionary force into syria at least for a battery of howitzers to be the assault on raqqa. fred: the world knew obama did not have a serious policy. his policy was to do as little as possible and kick the problem to the next president. isis can't be defeated on from the air. we know that from history. we are going to need ground troops. but they cannot be just american. it's important if ground troops go in, we need nato troops. it's sort of a coalition. lou: it may need to be a far more robust -- fred: we need substantial country tbriewtions nato. and they have an incentive to do this. the refugees are going primarily to europe, they have to solve this crisis. lou: we listened to nonsense spewed from washington, d.c. about how they are defeated for a good part of past 8 years. it's come to naught. we know many of the generals have not had the acumen, talent and vision to carry out a successful plan or there would be no is

tom: joining me to discuss, fred fleitz. let's start with devin nunes.o weeks ago when they had the hearing and they had jim comey and admiral rogers? and they said no evidence of wiretapping, everybody praised the devin nunes and said isn't he great. now he's going over to the white house saying there is smoke over here and he is the worst guy ever. this is so political. could that house intelligence committee get anything done that people will believe? >> it takes a lot of gall for congressman schiff to come plain nun else is undermining the mobile history of the house intelligence committee. i was on that staff for five years it was very political on many occasion. let me read you a quote from the first chairman of this committee. he was criticized by the former cia director as a jackass and his staff as a rag tag publicity-seeking group.if you t week, all they did was use to it roll out unsubstantiated cheap shots against president trump. they are not interested in an objective investigation. i think nun else is. tom: where is the answer going to com

the white house's warning to north korea, fred fleitz. great to have you with us. let's start with this ban. i can almost imagine the left screaming about a technology bigotry wave that gripped the u.k. and the united states. what's behind this ban and what's going on? fred: a lot of americans think al qaeda and isis don't want to blow up aircraft because they are weaker tore because of stepped up aircraft technology. i did an interview with sky news arabia, and there an arab expert in another city who said it's all about bigotry and the muslim ban and the trump administration did something smart. it briefed adam schiff before the ban was announced and schiff endorsed it. lou: schiff is the ranking number on the house of intelligence, and papa that cal partisan. so why not do that? fred: i don't think it will stop the left from saying it's an extension of the muslim ban. but this is a smart move. with the british joining us, it's silly to say it's a muslim ban, but it's hard to argue. lou: what i would like to know as a citizen is what's going on here? it gks becom
