leader of isis, but there's also this new threat of 100 plus isis terrorists out there. senator bob menendez, the ranking democrat on the senate foreign relations committee, says that the release of these isis prisoners is a clear and present danger to the united states. do you agree? >> well, we need to have more information about exactly who they were. so there are top rate, very dangerous isis operatives, and lower rung operatives who are not as dangerous. as you pointed out, it's a big deal to get bagdadi. i think the president deserves a lot of credit cafor authorizing the raid. if it had gone bad, he would have gotten the blame. but that does not mean isis has been defeated, any more than getting bin laden meant al qaeda was defeated. you still have these networks, you still have the people who will take the place of anybody we remove. and they will continue to work to attack america. one other point. there was a lot of comment about, we wouldn't expect bagdadi to be in idlib because we thought al qaeda was there. what happens in some places is, terrorist organizat

they helped us smash isis. a direct threat to the united states of america and our friends all around the world. and that didn't happen during world war ii. but some of it happened during trump's first term. you know, you think he'd remember. he bragged about it at the time. he said the kurds stood with us to accomplish a vital national security objective in the united states. he goes on to point out the destruction of isis and their temporary caliphate, he talked about it. he said we achieved this without sending tens of thousands of troops, without spending a quarter trillion dollars as we did in iraq surge. indeed, the obama/biden administration worked with them alongside our partners in syria. the kurds, the syrian democratic forces. but just a few hundred americans stopping tens of thousands of local fighters to take the fight to isis on the ground. the strategy is so successful it turned out that trump's secret plan to defeat isis -- remember that? secret plan to defeat isis was to keep doing what we had
