here now is heritage foundation national security expert james carafano.'s not only senator graham. some of the president's strongest supporters, like general jack keane, he said one word, betrayal, betraying the kurds who fought side by side with marines and others of the u.s. armed forces to kick isis out of the country. for general keane to use the word betrayal is significant. >> i look from this perspective, what are the u.s. interests. we don't want the caliphate to return. we don't want the problems in syria to spill over in the region and have millions of refugees back on the road and we don't want iran to have a superhighway to threaten israel to our closest ally. i've got to be honest. if you step back and take a look at what the turks say they are going to do, i'm not sure it threatens any of those interests, i'm sore. >> thank you, james. you are talking about u.s. interests. isn't working with our allies part of the interest, too? you had nikki haley, former u.s. ambassador today, i quote, say the u.s. must always have the back of our allies i

to these questions kelly playhouses the executive editor of the american conservative magazine james carafano works on national security and foreign policy at the heritage foundation and richard fontayne head of the center for a new american security great to have all of you with us here have a lot to get through today i was surprised by a comment that bret stephens in the new york times made recently where he was agreeing with all people iran's foreign minister zarif and is a wreath basically was saying that allies of america. were in kind of a bad place today and that they should neither seek america's permission to do things nor look on at america to secure their security and he's basically saying our allies are in trouble so kelly let me let me start with you what is what is the state of america's allies in the world are how we organize our national security infrastructure around the world in the right way or do our allies need to begin looking for other places to secure their their needs. i think i think the latter is correct i mean i'm i'm thinking of george washington's farewell addres

david: here is heritage foundation, national security expert, james carafano. is the president right? can we keep a lid on isis even if we bridge our forces home from syria. >> this deal makes the best of a bad situation. i don't think we'll be pulling all of our forces out of syria, we have forces in southern syria, i imagine they will stay there. my guess we're be doing counterterrorism operations that will probably be enough. you have to remember nobody wants to see caliphate come back, not the russians, notes iranian, not assad, not the wpg, not the turks. >> james, this is gary kaltbaum. call me bed i befuddled. i talked about the president talking about great civi cruis civilization. and praising erdogan, i am thinking this is going to be great, this is just 5 days, what are your thoughts? >> all of rhetoric aside. which their is making the best of a bad situation, the u.s. did not green light the turkish incursion, we don't have forces or cape bil capability to real . it would not make sense for us. this significantly lowers and mitigates the potential f

joining me now, retired lieutenant colonel james carafano, vice president of national security and foreignat the heritage foundation. thank you for being with me. first of all, i am looking at a report right now, and it is listing u.s. officials are telling fox news that the cease-fire is largely holding. and we just heard from the defense secretary, talking about the turks put us in a terrible position. where are we right now in this? and what do you think will happen next? >> well, we are not in the worst place we could be. the turks have wanted to do this for a long time. i disagree with the senator, we did not give them anything. they were going to do this at some point. in some ways we are a victim of our own success, because we did such a good job of taking down the caliphate that all of the parties in the region have gone back to squabbling over the syrian civil war like they did before he intervened. with the cease-fire, what it it accomplishes that a mitigated human suffering, even in an imperfect cease-fire, allowing the time for the white pg to retrograde and for refugees to mov

we got james carafano to talk to us about that.ionaire, the patriot millionaires. remember that group? they think they're not being taxed enough. they want more taxation but are they willing to sign on to elizabeth warren and bernie sanders wealth tax. we'll ask them. particularly this guy, the chairman of the group, whether that is going a little bit too far even for him. lauren: exciting stuff. david, thank you very much. we'll be watching. catch david asman, 5:00 p.m. eastern on fox business. connell: check with david. make sure he has at least passing interest in the stories. lauren: that's a good point. it is all about lori loughlin. connell: we all get sick of these stories. fda is under pressure for dismissing signs that could have prevented a massive vaping crisis across the u.s. dr. marc siegel on the new development. he is next. cologuard: colon cancer screening for people 50 and older at average risk. i've heard a lot of excuses to avoid screening for colon cancer. i'm not worried. it doesn't run in my family. i can do i

let's bring in our guest, james carafano from the heritage foundation. be with you. jackie: start with steve mnuchin's comment today and potential sanctions here. the u.s. is saying we're putting something on the table but we're not pulling the trigger just yet. why wait? >> mnuchin is kind of channeling trumps inner show man. we can't shut down an economy. we can't shut down north korea and iran. we wouldn't shut down turkey. having said that the u.s. could do pretty damaging sanctions on turkey. that would make sense if the turks do things which are worth sanctioning. you know the u.s. advised them against this incursion. he said, look, bad things can happen here. so if there is humanitarian crisis, if there is ethnic cleansing, if there is were to release isis prisoners, if they would do things that would harm u.s. interests make the situation worse, i think it would be appropriate for the trump administration. jackie: u.s. is in tough spots with allies on both sides. the issue as you mentioned if there are civilian casualties. what happens if that be

let's bring in retired lieutenant james carafano vice president for national security and foreign policy heritage foundation. -- at the heritage foundation. good to see you, colonel. what's an undersea barge? was it to see if they could fire something from a submarine? >> you have never been on a submarine before. you don't want to fire a missile from a submarine under water unless you know it is going to work because if it doesn't work, everybody dies. so you test it in a surrogate, in a barge until you absolutely have it 100% safe before you try it on your submarine because not only do you kill the thing, you lose the submarine. north korea doesn't have that many. eric: that makes sense. that shows something else that they incrementally bit by bit by bit do these little tests and they get more proficient and the missile goes further and then think try something else again and -- and then they try something else again and it goes further than that. this is how they do it. >> that's true. they are continuing their capabilities. no question about that. what are our interests? if there's n
