lou: tony shaffer? i'm told tony is gone. walid?e great discussion, i would say three things. number one is to dismantle the actual physical caliphate in iraq and syria. a piece of it is at the edge of lebanon and libya and beyond. second we have to dismantle basically the network that is behind the caliphate. this is the intelligence network which can recreate the caliphate. and thirdly, very important. we have to dismantle the ideology. so we need to wage that confrontation at three levels. it has to be led with us by our new allies in the arab world. the president going to meet with nato leaders soon, america, the arab world, and europe. lou: ambassador bolton? john: i would add this it's time to give up the illusion of nation building as a response to radical islamic terrorism. i think the physical defeat of the terrorists has to take the top priority. you have to do it through an ideological prism. but let's get past the idea building schools and hospitals is going to wane people away from -- wean people away from terrorism. it

lieutenant colonel tony shaffer always welcome on this broadcast. please roll the video. propeller drone. that's a sight, wow!. 2propellers. look at lifting a daredevil 1100 feet in the air. he let go of the handlebar, that was a grand idea as he plunged toward the ground. if the manufacturer says that drone for rescue missions in the future. that is impressive drone as is the daredevil himself. >>> the threat from north korea grows after a successful ballistic missile test. >> i think there is no question that north korea continues to threaten the united states, our allies, calling on all the folks in the region, particularly china and russia to do everything they can in terms of sanctions. lou: will that be enough? another korean missile not the only threat to the united states. dr. peter pride joins us. he acquainted us last week with the dangers from enp. how severe and completely deficitting such an attack would be, next. ♪ to folks everywhere whose diabetic... ...nerve pain shoots and burns its way into your day... ...i hear you. when that pain makes simple errands

lieutenant colonel tony shaffer.ou for having me. lou: let's start with, it's fascinating and frightening, the power of the deep state right now. >> right. lou: and their ability to blunt the power of the president of the united states with leaks, with disinformation. it's extraordinary. we were told of three leakers had been identified, at least three, and there would be consequences presumably, firing, and we have heard nothing sense. what do you make of it. >> two things, i'd like to believe this is going to be diligent but detailed, and lou, you got to get all the scoop, you got to to be very thorough. i'd like to believe they're going to make this stick. you got to to make examples these folks, and frankly this relates directly to the unmasking and very horrific things. and one of our folks, good friend of mine, dennis kucinich, you've had him on before, dennis recognizes it's truly orwellian tothe potential damage done by people on the inside doing these leaks and these sorts of compromises. you got to document

lieutenant colonel tony shaffer says maybe that's the idea.ood to talk to you. >> good to see you. >> what do you make of this and the message that we are send something. >> exactly what you said. a show of force. we talked about before, neil, this is something that we are taking seriously. i applaud from trump for breaking the paradigm of the past where every republican or administration has said we're going to do something. this president is doing something. this firing of the missile says if you poke news the chest, this is what will happen. this is the message. it's not the end all and be all, but it's a signal back to them. >> neil: you think it's a provocative act? even if you would consider such a thing. it's ironic. their tests are provocative. but you see a distinction where you shoots it down? explain. >> right now we're studying the issue of ballistic missiles since world war ii. nobody better than the western allies that know how to track them off of the pad. you can tell very quickly where it's going. the idea here, we're not goin

we are joined by the senior fellow from london center for research, tony shaffer. let's talk about the he call yarl idea that the director of the f.b.i. was even chanted by a dossier that everybody else thought was peculiar. >> i would call it ludicrous. this is the ultimate form of opposition research. there is absolutely no way a james comey would have accepted a similar dossier produced by similar people of questionable character and hillary clinton. lou: that dossier was prepared, apparently, at the behest and through payment from the clinton campaign. >> precisely. to me this indicates james comey while he triets to put a final veneer of putting the people's head of the f.b.i. -- lou: it's more like lord comey. but this what we have to consider here. when you consider the fact that he went and basically did sorsaults toreate a legal loophole to not charge her regarding the use of classified information on her server. if you or i drove drunk and killed someone because of negligence, i don't think they have to prove intent. but he threw that intent in there clai

joining me with perspective on all of it, lieutenant colonel tony shaffer. have you christians target the over and over again. >> over and over, right. trish: egypt, incident brewing in the philippines, obviously what we saw in manchester. is anybody going to start sticking up for christians here? >> they better, and as you point out, this is a pattern, the syrian christians in syria, and the christians in iraq and all those groups. the yazidi. we do know this has been an ongoing campaign of isis and other radical islam to take these folks out. it's aansing if you will. and in egypt, as much as is bad, it's worse other places. president el-sisi has done a job to defend the christians. last year when one of the churches were attacked and bombed, he ordered the egyptian army to repair it. the operations where the guys are in military uniform are designed to do what we're facing, trying to drive a wedge between the christians and the government. president sisi said publicly, the islamic faith must rid itself of violence. he's one of our allies in the fight. we

making money" with charles payne, nfl super bowl champion burgess owens, we had jim kallstrom, tony shafferw, a lot of news thick and fast. charles payne is picking it up with "making money." charles: hand me the baton, emac, good evening, i'm charles payne, breaking news -- the continuing fallout over the firing of fbi director james comey, spreading like wildfire throughout washington. the political jockeying on capitol hill in full force that the moment. senate minority leader chuck schumer taking to the senate floor to denounce president trump and administration's decision, roll tape. >> the dismissal of director comey establishes a very troubling pattern. this administration has now removed several law enforcement officials in a position to conduct independent investigations of the president and his administration. charles: before that, you had senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who called the democrats' bluff, fired back at party and schumer. roll tha.

clayton: i want to get tony shaffer before we take a quick break. out earlier he used saudi arabia and our american bases there as his reason for attacking us on 9/11. so it's incredi incredibly difft hornet's nest to drive out radical islam in that region. what can he say? >> you have to start somewhere and this is what we have to deal with the saudi, they are not monolithic. the royal family dealing with president trump is not the only element in the country. as you mentioned, was habbism, there are elements in zabo saudi arabia help fund isis. allow the women to have the right to do what they wish. you are talking about a culture and the momentum of that culture which goes back 1,000 years. you are talking about trying to make change. so you have to start somewhere. i think that's what the president is trying to do. at the same time, you cannot ignore them and their importance to the region. the with a habbists are simply something we jointly have to deal wnd a think president trump has to make that point that we, the united states, share your in

to lieutenant colonel tony shaffer on exactly who is provoking whom. ke of that? that they're outraged about this, which would be like being outraged you not he eating a sa? i wouldn't think i would go there but nevertheless they are going there. what do you think of that? >> your analogy is correct. they're upset about the idea we can stop them. that is frankly the issue. no one to this point in time besides president trump said enough is enough. neil: can we stop them? i know our history of shooting down is not exactly 100% but at least we have that ability? >> there is three things that we should address. the thad system that has been deployed on the ground, that will catch a system in boost phase. if we are seeing a missile going somewhere that will hit something we'll take action. we'll not shoot down anything but certain things we will. the aegis system, the system on aegis cruisers, with certain software that can hit the stuff in boost phase getting ready into orbit. based on what i'm aware of, based on people that worked in the programs, i think

want to bring in lieutenant colonel tony shaffer who joins us now. your thoughts as president trump enters, enters this -- well, we're going to get tony a minute, but, ashley, a lot at stake here because the first part of president trump's trip was all red carpets and for the most part he wowed the saudis. ashley: sure. charles: there was a huge economic deal out of it. there was a huge defense component it to it. israel was thrilled, no president ever made them the first part of their first journey outside of the country. ashley: goes to rome, meets with the pope. charles: goes to the rome, meets with the pope. they exchanged books and bless santries, a 180-degree than we saw in the campaign. this is more hostile audience. ashley: this is gettings down to business. he was on the campaign calling nato obsolete, saying they needed to pay their fair share as part of the u.s.'s overall help in the defense of the west. and he is going to get a lot of pointed questions. he a great negotiator. we know that. he will say look, pay your fair share. it is not
