Speaking via telephone to the summit he was scheduled to attend before his bike accident scrubbed those plans, Kerry forcefully pushed back against any notion that ISIS is a state, despite the group's broad territorial gains.

Kerry spoke about the need to "maintain momentum in the battle of ideas," according to excerpts from the call provided by the State Department.

"One way is to expose at every opportunity the false nature of Daesh's claim to be the Islamic State. In reality, Daesh is no more a state than I am a helicopter," Kerry said, using another name for ISIS widely used by European and Arab allies that is despised by the terrorist group.

Apparently he's not much of a bike rider either.

Hey John, if you say you’re a helicopter, you’re a helicopter. This is 2015 besides, who am I to say?
