Phil Gibson returns to the show to talk about Trump's Syria speech and cryptos. Trump said the ceasefire the US created along the Turkish/Syrian border has become permanent and the US is to thank for the new peace in the region. Phil and Kyle explain how other forces are working to stabilize a region that is in part in chaos because of endless American wars. In his speech, Trump signaled his opposition to America being the world policemen and the forever wars. However, he also said some American troops will remain in eastern Syria to guard the oil.

Jon is joined by Lieutenant Colonel Bill Profitt to discuss President Trump's ill advised decision to draw down troops in Syria, Turkey's ensuing invasion and current standing within NATO, and the likely implications that Trump's Syria surrender will have on the United States, Russia, Iran, Bashar al Assad, and their influence in the region.

When it comes to Congress and the separation of powers, Trump is not a fan. Rep. Debbie Dingell discusses how the President has been bypassing Congress on impeachment, and what House Dems plan to do to stop the obstruction. If polls are any indication, Trump's attacks on Biden haven't put a dent in his frontrunner status. In a move that sent shock waves through cable news, Shepard Smith announced Friday it was his last day at the network. Republican lawmakers are outraged over Trump's Syria withdrawal. New polls on the president are not looking too hot for him. A conservative paper slams Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her "high-dollar hairdo."

President Trump has opened the floodgates in Northern Syria, pulling out the only protection Kurdish fighters there could count on to keep Turkey at bay. Turkey has already taken advantage of it with a huge operation in the region, leading 60,000 civilians to flee. Republicans and Democrats in Congress are outraged by the decision, the Pentagon and State Department advised against it. There is no end in sight for the conflict in Syria, and this gives ISIS room to rise again. These facts leave more questions than answers. SE Cupp is joined by Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin & the Syrian American Council's Bassam Rifai to discuss the political, military and humanitarian fallout.

Has impeachment support hit a turning point? What's behind Trump's Syria move? Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, Pat Robertson, Joe Biden, and more.

In this round, Kurt and Mike discuss Donald Trump’s sudden decision to pull all remaining US troops out of northern Syria, where they’d been embedded with allied Kurdish fighters in the war against ISIS. Many critics of this move argue that this is a major double-cross of the Kurds, who face hostility from a Turkish military that's been waiting to invade northern Syria. Does Trump’s move give Turkey the green light to massacre the Kurdish fighters who frontlined the fight against ISIS? Will Trump’s reassurances stack up in the face of Turkish aggression against a Kurdish population they’ve been at odds with for decades? Join us as Mike and Kurt debate these questions - and more - on this week’s episode of Right Brain Left Brain!

Heritage Foundation foreign policy expert Jim Carafano weighs in on President Donald Trump’s decision to move troops around in Syria, after talking with the Turkish president. Carafano explains how this will affect the Kurds, whether it could boost ISIS, and why we’re in Syria in the first place. We also cover these stories:Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., says he’s inviting Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s lawyer, to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about Ukraine.Over half of the country is on board with starting an impeachment inquiry, according to a new poll from The Washington Post and Schar School.Sexually transmitted diseases are increasing in the United States.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, Pippa, Google Play, or Stitcher.

Everyone in the media and politics is viewing Syria in one dimension. Retired Col. Dan Steiner joins us to give a strategic vision of how Trump’s pullout from Syria will actually get our enemies to fight with each other and strengthen our position, if done right. We also discuss proper war fighting and how our operations in Syria were not only worthless but needlessly exposed our troops to risk, a point that is being ignored by establishment Republicans who want a permanent ground presence there. Steiner also gives us a reality check on the Kurds and also Turkey’s ability to actually turn the bark into a real bite. Plus: A man is now accused of murder after he was released by the jailbreak bill passed last year.

U.S. foreign policy toward Syria ... what is it exactly? It's a question now more than ever in the Trump Administration. Are American troops pulling out or staying put? Even the president doesn't seem to know.

Before 2018 closed, President Trump announced that he would be withdrawing US troops from Syria now. Or did he mean within 30 days? Or four months?

The boys are back to discuss Trump's Syria withdrawal, James Mattis leaving the administration, the ongoing government shutdown, Mitt Romney comes out swinging, Elizabeth Warren announcing her candidacy for 2020, Kim Jung-Un's nice leather chair, and the nude selfie that's stirring up the Mueller investigation.
