well i think the problem is that swartz many experts told me that this administration doesn't seem to have a long term plan and a coherent strategy on syria president school is to defeat the so-called islamic state and then to withdraw american troops from syria and that's why the pentagon spokeswoman diana wyatt's today once again stressed that this remains a long term goal for the administration the question is however what happens as i said the assad regime uses chemical weapons again in that case the us was half to react and there was a very interesting question you were in this pentagon briefing today the question how trump i mean strange can explain to the american people why they have free access to a suspected chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of people and why they do nothing in response to the fact that the assad regime killed tens of thousands by using conventional weapons ok you mentioned america the american people what about them what are they saying i mean and trump around a campaign of america first and a reluctance to engage in foreign intervention our suppor

so before you point and click, nbc's gaudy swartz has details. >> reporter: to tax or not to tax. that is the question worth billions. online usually the answer is no. but in a store -- customers are on the hook. why? that is because of a supreme court ruling that said states can only collect sales tax if a retailer has a physical presence within the state so a lot of online stores are able to side step the taxes. but that ruling was from 1992 when the word online meant where you stood at checkout. states argument it is obsolete in the age of e-commerce but not everyone agrees. >> the small businesses are just getting started and having to pay another tax will eat into their revenues and be passed on to the consumer. >> reporter: the potential win fall to states if it is overturned, $14 billion and on board that said retailers have long supported closing the legal loophole giving giant online sellers a advantage over local brick and mortar stores. amazon isn't involved in the case and it does collect sales tax nationwide on its products. but a third party seller on amazon could ch
