in fact, you hired one walid phares to work with you. how do you win over the good citizens and get them to oust the terrorists amongst them? how does donald trump do that? >> there's one of the things, they're very untrusting of people other than muslims and they have people that they know. for instance, the bomber, the people that killed -- if you take a look back six months ago, the two people that got married, the radicalized, you know, he was radicalized. everybody knew what was going on. they had bombs and guns all over the place. nobody reported them. if they would have been reported somehow that community doesn't believe in reporting. they know exactly what's going on. and they don't know -- they don't believe in reporting to the police. >> what's your message -- >> what's your message to them, donald trump? >> it's not the message to them, but us to, we better get smart fast. my message to them is they have to be more open with the police, they have -- they have to become part of the community. they have to let people know when

here is walid phares, trump's foreign policy advisor and a fox news contributor.e know overall what his attitude is. a lot of people are looking for specifics. you're someone advising him on exactly that. tell us what would be his first phone call? >> well, first of all there has to be a new vision. what is working now is not going to work anymore. what has been working so far is not working. melissa: clearly. >> there need to be three directions. numb per one we need better coordination among each other within the west. transatlantic coordination, transcontinental coordination. europe has 27, 28 homeland security department the they need to get together and help them. they need to work together. that is number one. number two, as was mentioned already, we need a coalition of arab countries. this is a, b, c. we need arab force helping us on the ground. without taking down isis in raqqa and mosul without help of kurds it will -- melissa: let me stop you there. who would you tell him to call first in both of those situations? >> first he has to be in the white house

walid phares also on the line with me at this hour. this is kelly wright and in case you just tuned in we're looking at what's unfolded in brussels at the airport, where this morning about 8:00 a.m., brussels time, which would be the height of their morning rush hour at the brussels airport, many people in the departure terminal, there are reports as greg indicated that this could have been an american airlines check-in but we don't know that to be sure so that's still an unconfirmed report but we do know two bomb blasts erupted and there have been casualties, and you're looking at pictures and images right now of people being evacuated. you're looking at some of the debris and the devastation of those two bomb blasts. walid, i've asked you this so many times before and it bears to be asked again, what do these terrorists want and how can we prevent them from getting it? >> the terrorists do not have, we're assuming that these terrorists do not have a personal, individual or even a group demand or a claim. these are not pirates or cros

. >> joining me now walid phares, fox news terrorism and middle east analyst, a member of the team now advising donald trump on foreign policy. once again, welcome, good to speak with you today. >> thank you. >> so do you agree with donald trump there? >> i do agree with mr. trump but the real battle is not just when these refugees are going to be coming and the president making the case it will be openness. the real battle that mr. trump wants to deliver is actually 20,000 kilometer away on the other side of the globe and that is to enable those refugees before they become refugees or if they are in turkey or lebanon, in jordan, to return to their homes. there is a whole area in northeastern syria thanks to also our strikes against isis and the administration's been arguing that we're making gains. so if we are making gain, we have a region of 10,000 square kilometers we can equip and enable for the refugees so they're not refugees anymore to begin with. then you have the other issue of when the refugees or some of them or asylum seekers will be coming to the united states, yes, there

walid phares, a member of trump's new national security team is trying to talk him out of it.cales, let's talk about carpet bombing. all orders are coming from iraq. we know that isis is be embedded there. is there any other way to get to them without risk of a lot of lost lives going building to building or major damage to civilian casualties. >> there is a big difference between accelerating the air campaign, which i agree with, and carpet bombing. carpet bombing is the bombing of urban population, united states has never carpet bombed anywhere against populated areas. it against international law, it makes no sense in terp of -- in terms of achieving your end goal. charles: vladimir putin went to syria, they carpet bomb the hell ut of -- they declared victory. >> he did not carpet bomb, that is massive application of fire power from for formations of bombers, russia has not done that. >> russia has disregard for civilian lives. >> they do. >> general, i respectfully disagree, if you eliminate a second where enemy is collaborating, guess what, we don't have enemy there any m

lauren: walid phares, fox news terrorism expert. thank you for spending a chunk of the show with us this morning. nicole: if you're just tuning in, two explosions ripping through the airport in brussels this morning. belgian media say at least 13 people have been killed at the airport, dozens of others injured. another explosion at the measures they should need e.u. headquarters and reports say at least 10 people were killed in that blast. all of this comes just days after the key suspect in the paris attack, salah abdeslam, was arrested in that city. let's listen in now to our sister network, sky news. >> this is exactly what they're trying to force us to do and i'm not prepared to go down that route. >> thank you for joining us on sky news this morning. >> as we've been speaking, britain's committee will meet today to talk about what has happened. also, a message has gone out to people in brussels. people in belgium are being urged to stay where they are, not to go out, not to go to crowded areas and the advice here in the u.k. co

think that's the first personal that you would want to deal with i would look at someone such as walid pharesho could clearly articulate some of the issues that you see in the middle east" and talk to you about strategies and foreign policy. i would sit down and tell donald trump you have to understand the four elements of national power and how do you bring those elements together? i would sit down with gordon chang an expert on china and north korea. these are people that i know pretty well and those are the types of folks that i have been talking to during the time that i was up there in congress and afterwards. >> you know, it's impossible, i think, to predict how someone is going to behave in the future. some things happen and people change and all that, you know, all the uncertainties in the world. sitting here tonight, do you think that donald trump would be a good leader in the area of foreign policy or not? >> well, right now, with the statement that he just made that you played that's very disconcerting to me. maybe some of the trump supporters will be sending me nasty tweets but i

walid phares. liz, you were looking at me there, and talking about donald trump, make your point liz: donald trump is referring to the visa waiver prom program. 20-- we know the wife of the san bernardino shooter came in on a visa and that's viewed as a security risk to the united states. stuart: i see trump now moving right to the center of attention again because of what's happened in europe liz: yeah. stuart: he's the guy who is talking about a temporary ban on muslims coming into america and they're voting today, a republican vote in arizona and in utah. i think this propels trump right to the front burner all over again and i think this terror now becomes the central point of the election liz: yes, it does. he's speaking plainly. make no mistake, since 2002, a dozen plots foiled against airports. number of them here in the united states, lax, jfk, even wichita, kansas. so the fbi is telling fox business they remain concerned about major transit hubs across the united states. stuart: we're fort
