jon stewart or his writers think differently so frankly i may have to reassess my position based on jonwart's assessment. look, there is a real problem here. and that is that, you know, there is two things you probably shouldn't do when you are confronting an enemy like isis. one, is you probably shouldn't give them a lot of advanced warning about potential air strikes. the other is you probably shouldn't say you have a strategy. i don't want to make light of this, but, i think today's press conference by the president indicates just how much they are struggling to figure out a game plan for this. we, right now we have been working to contain the issue. that's it. we need a strategic plan to defeat this problem before they finish what they're trying to do, which is gabe territorial integrity and consolidate the position and ultimately make this a much bigger problem to deal with down the road. >> james, was it a mistake calling isis jv unless maybe it stood for jumbo vicious? >> well, there so great story, as a matter of fact, it was broke on fox news about a report coming out from the

[laughter] did they do it? because actually, spoiler alert, you could have watched the news between friday and monday and you probably already know, but if you did not because you were at the theater, here's how it went down starting on july 8th: >> the white house today asked congress for $3.7 billion to deal with the flood of unaccompanied children coming into
