"Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade on Monday again slammed President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?'

Kilmeade has been one of Fox's most outspoken critics of the president's decision announced last week.

Trump has praised "Fox & Friends" several times in the past and reportedly watches the program on a daily basis.

"When ISIS is looked at as losing and we are putting heavy damage on them in a way that President Obama can only dream of, President Trump was doing huge damage and terror threat diminishes at home," Kilmeade said in an interview with National Review's Andrew McCarthy. "We’re not looking to settle a Syrian war. We almost lost the country of Iraq. They were outside Baghdad until we armed the Kurds and began providing intelligence and information for them.”

"In point of fact, you have a region that is teeming with Islamic supremacism. Basically the theory you have to impose Sharia on everything," McCarthy noted. "ISIS took a lot of territory back from them does not mean that we have vanquished ISIS. They have tens of thousands of fighters still on the ground. And while we were concentrating on ISIS, al Qaeda is ascending. The only thing that’s happened there is the pieces have moved around. It’s not like we have defeated anyone.”

“Nobody can appreciate the need for great intelligence more than you, because it helps put your cases together and unwind plots before they were able to happen,” Kilmeade responded. “Let me just finish. What we're able to get with those 2,000 troops goes right to the FBI and NYPD and all these cities around the country, and they will show you what we've done. What President Trump has done is great. But what he is going to do early is a classic America pull the foot off the throats early and it’s going to make everyone’s security more perilous.”

According to the Pentagon, there are currently an estimated 2,000 American troops in Syria, but Trump surprised Defense Department officials last week by announcing that they would all be pulled out.

On Dec. 21 on "Fox & Friends", Kilmeade declared that Trump had "refounded ISIS," in an interview with White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

“He also is doing exactly what he criticized President Obama for doing. He said President Obama is the founder of ISIS,” Kilmeade stated. “He just refounded ISIS because they have 30,000 men there and they are already striking back with our would-be evacuation. The president is really on the griddle with this.”

Sanders replied by stating she “respectfully and vehemently” disagreed.
