chicken, about two pounds go for it, for the liquid -- >> chicken, not turkey. >> no. ground chicken, buffalo chicken chili. this is four cups of either tomato juice or vegetable juice. >> only half of that. half a cup of hot sauce. >> hot sauce. >> if you like it really spicy, what i would say is stick with half a cup, stir this around, and then after you have the finished product, then you can add a little bit more. you don't want people to ruin the recipe. after you break this up, we're going to put the top on, just partially, and we're going to let it simmer for about 20 minutes and then ta-da, this is what you get. >> wow. >> and ladle that in. it is a hearty serving. two or three of those. >> how many calories are we talking about? >> a whole two and a half cups is 330 calories and the best part is, what do you need with your buffalo wings? you need blue cheese dip, right? >> yes. >> most people love it that way. >> i took non-fat greek yogurt and mixed it with blue cheese crumbles and there you go. >> look how beautiful. >> little scallions on top, perfect masterpiece, 330 cal

we can do. that is why general allen and i have made about four trips to turkey over the last couple of months and the focus of the conversation with the turks is how we might be able to work together to begin to improve the situation there, we're obviously doing a number of things with the moderate opposition, which i can't discuss here. but i can assure you that we're very focused on the situation and looking at ways to allow them to hold the line. aleppo, and surrounding areas, it's not so much isil. but what we're focusing on is isil targets, they can be very hard to find but we're looking at it very closely and our conversations with turkey specifically focussed on this question. >> that calls into question the fact that they're fighting al qaeda units as well, as you know, it calls into question our policy on safe zones. but my worry about the dithering on this is that we had these dialogues back in february on isis at a time, frankly, we began this dialogue before isis even took falluja. we were calling for air strikes and action against isis before they managed to pull that o

relations and we will exchange visits. that's happening. the prime minister of turkey visited iraq. the emirate visited iraq. so there's a regional shift taking place. now we obviously hope it holds. we will work diligently with them. but this combination of training with the military, de-sectarianizing -- i mean undoing the sectarian divide that has taken place, building confidence among the sunni, is going to be a long process. but it has started, and it is having some impact, and it has the potential of having a profound impact on iraq itself. >> may i just say, john, that is what the american people want. they want a diplomatic resolution of this issue amongst the people who live in both iraq and in syria, and the surrounding countries. that's what they want more than anything. they don't want another open ended opportunity for a commitment of another 2.5 million americans into that region. because the potential is there for that. and there are some members on this committee, in fact, who believe that it should be open-ended. and i just think that that debate is the debate that we h

network of smuggling this oil to turkey, and to sell it there on the black market and gain millions of dollars. these millions of dollars enabled them to come back to syria, and talk to the desperate fighters of the free syrian army and tell them, well, the international community is not helping you anymore. how much are you gaining a month? $2,000? 250? we're going to offer you six. so for a fighter in the free syria army, they started to think about it. and to ask isis, what's your ultimate goal? they never mentioned the caliphate or the islamic state all over the world, the target they are using now. they said the ultimate goal was double the salary in a month. many, many thousands of them accepted to move to fight side by side with isis. so my point here is, it's not only about ideology, yes, ideology does matter. it's very important when it comes to explaining why an american or a german or a frenc travel all the way from california to iraq to fight side by side with them. but for syria and turkey, it has to do with sectarianism and money in syria. still, ideology is very importa

requires making choices. either we choose assad or we choose turkey. we don't sit on the fence. if we choose turkey, we get a major ground military force on our side. if we choose assad, we get a real military force on the side, not as big as turkey. either way, isil can be destroyed in a matter of years. sitting on the fence, and refusing to engage our own forces on the ground, which probably is going to continue, that is true, we cannot destroy isil even as a territorial entity at least for several years, and possibly never. what if they use the several years to gain weapons of mass destruction, which is quite possible. >> you raise a lot of good points here. again, i think as long as people are -- accept this ideology and are willing to use terrorist tactics, it's not going to go away, because they can get, you know, car bombs or whatever it might be. and that's the point i was trying to make. you raise the question of turkey, assad. don't forget, you've got the russians who you're working with through the iranian negotiations. i mean, which is a bigger threat, isil or nuclear a

groups engaged, we would hope regional partners engage in this conduct. turkey is more impacted by this sfr a geographic perspective than the united states would be. we would hope they would get more involved. but if they do not, if the ground forces that are available today are unsuccessful, does that mean that isil gets to stay and continue to grow? that's an important question for us to answer. and if you want to take this to a level of absurdity, think about this. if we pass this proposal here today or any of the other amendments associated with it, what we would be saying is we're not allowed to use ground troops but you could use nuclear weapons? there's no prohibition against using nuclear weapons in this aumf or any of the other proposal, and i would imagine some would say amendments are in order, so perhaps someone will offer that. my point is this is a big problem for us because if we put forth something that basically says we are willing to fight isil but only up to a certain point after if which they get to stay, potentially, i think we've created a big problem for ours

no idea what attempts are going to be made there. yet, on the other hand, we want turkey to be involved with us. we're talking about what essence no fly zone in the northwest portion of syria to try to bring turkey in. yet turkey really probably isn't near as interested in isis as they are assad itself. yet we have not sat, not had any testimony that explains how we plan to go forward. on the other hand, the in a way of trying to limit what we're doing, i know that the chairman and people on your side of the aisle have attempted to talk about no boots on the ground. you've out a limit on length of time. you've defined associated forces in a more narrow way than typically is defined. we have the secretary of state come in and say that the president won't agree to that. he came in and testified here and gave excellent testimony actually better than i thought he would be able to give and yet amuf being offered today we know they won't support. it has no chance in the world, even if we had time. this is going nowhere because we're going to be out of here in two days. even if we had

popular saving is this practice credited with inspiring, cold shoulder, cold turkey or humble pie. >> b, cold turkey. >> finally! >> what's the answer? >> the answer is cold shoulder. in medieval england, when a host would have a big feast, even though the cold shoulder now is considered something rude, it actually is derived from a polite gesture. when a feast was being given, the host would signify that it was time to leave by serving a cold peace of meat from the shoulder. >> a random piece of knowledge. time for one more. >> another lady from tampa. the saying "more than you can shake a stick at" is inspired by teachers and students, farmers and sheep, brothers and sisters? >> b. >> yep. you're supposed to be happy. quickly, what's that one? >> farmers control the direction their sheep were going by shaking a stick at them. if they had more sheep than they could actually control, it was thought to be more than you could shake a stick at. >> amy, i feel a little smarter this morning. thank you for coming in. >>> here is a saying you hear a lot. what do you do for the guys that has ev
