jim acosta is hosting "state of the union" this morning. the administration saying about the gains isis has made in iraq? >> as you heard the president say last week when he was doing the interview with the atlantic magazine, he insists the u.s. is not losing the fight against isis, but there are a lot of people that disagree with that assessment, including arizona senator, john mccain. we will have a couple iraq war veterans who will weigh in on that, and an alarming interview that barbara starr did with ash carter, and he says the iraqis don't have the will to fight, which i thought was a surprising statement, and we will hear about that as well, and also secretary of housing and urban development is joining us this morning, and he is going to give us his assessment on what is needed to turn around some of the cities that have been experiencing some of the urban unrest in weeks and months like the situation in baltimore and hopefully not the situation in cleveland, and we will get his take on what is happening in cleveland as well, and ar
