david, for you, what ihe m need to know about? >> to me it's the new national defense strategy, because as secretary mattis outlined, now competition with china and russia not war on terror is the primary focus of the trump administration and of u.s. national security. that means this giant super tanker that is the united states military is starting to turn away from terrorists toward building up the military to be able to compete on -- at a high end of conflict. and long after we've stopped arguing about how many troops we should have had in syria and how long, this is going to continue to play out because it's reflected in the pentagon budget which of course takes years and years to play out. so this is a major change in the direction of u.s. foreign policy and national security policy and i think one that's compatible with the president's make nga see a big change. >> brennan: jeff, for you? >> with all this talk about pulling out from syria and afghanistan, i talked to officials at the fbi who say the number of isis related in
