Appearing on Wednesday’s NBC Today, former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge repeatedly ripped President Obama’s failing foreign policy against ISIS as co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer sat back without comment.

Lauer asked: “From where you're sitting, what are we learning about ISIS based on what we're seeing in Paris?” Ridge replied by firing his first shots at Obama: “Well, we know they’re not a JV team, we know they’re not contained....You also have to start playing offense....the President can't let the clock run out. I know he loves basketball, but it's not like running out the clock. You run out the clock when you're winning.”
