reporter: you may remember that when isis sort of burst on to the world stage, they did so with mass propaganda efforts. mass videos, very slick videos to try to appeal to people. in a sense taking a page from al qaeda s playbook with videos and al qaeda s inspire magazine on line. what s happened here especially with isis now some extent with other terror groups that they re trying now a more direct approach. by setting up a constantly changing twitter account, as soon as a twitter figures out who they are and shuts them down, they start another with a different name. and they are basically haranguing people in western countries every day to say, come on, you want to do something. they ll list grievances and say, you know why don t you do some being this, why aren t you doing something about that. it s a more direct approach. and it s just exploding across the western world. not just in the u.s., the interior minister of france came to the u.s. to urge twitter to
be boots on the ground. these are two things you re going to be saying? this is what i have been telling what turkey has been telling at every meeting of the coalition, that i m going to raise with both secretary kerry and susan rice during our meetings today. today we re learning about a 20-year-old woman from alabama who is the latest werner no travel to syria to join isis through your country. why aren t you doing more or what more to you need to do? who is telling you we are not doing more. we are doing more and more. we are doing our best. wu we don t get enough support. i understand. what do you need from the west? we need better information, timely information. we have been increasing the security measures along the border. we have 1,300 kilometer border with both syria and iraq. and it is not easy. can you control your borders with mexico? i think we re having some problems with that as well. it is not that easy to control. we have to support and stop them befor
congress. well here answer a good test case. will, can republicans really slam president obama for being an imperial president and then turn around and go why aren t you doing something about this? no, but this is the problem with inconsistency, brianna, this is the problem with selective enforcement, it creates an environment where everybody says if the law doesn t matter anymore, i ll plead to you to act when it s in my policy interest or when it s something i believe in. this is why we have the rule of law so we don t have those kinds of debates. i want to say this, brianna, if i can. i heard you mention it, this idea that money can somehow solve our current crisis, the 50,000 undocumented children or unaccompanied minors that have come across up from by the way 4,000 on average over the last decade, money cannot solve this problem. it s really honestly also not about the border, because these kids are coming across and turning themselves in to border patrol immediately. it s a
carter had more. clinton, reagan, and w. had way more. but what else can the president do in a world where congress is basically engaging in obstruction. what else can he do? he can t allow them to say, you get to do nothing. i think the back story of this is earlier in the year, the president talked about how i m going to do things on my own. i have a pen and i have a phone. i m going to use them. he really got that message out there. what republicans are hearing when they get back to their districts from activists, the core conservative anti-obama crowd is a lot of, why aren t you stopping this? obama is doing executive orders. why aren t you doing enough about it? and boehner s lawsuit is a way to kind of reach that audience and say, i m doing something about it. if you read the op-ed, boehner didn t say what the lawsuit was really about. i think that s intentional. it s in part because he s trying to make the conservative base feel like they are being heard and they are upset abo
dangerous precedent. even if the president were consistently abusing the law, he s not consistent overseas, he s not consistent with powers that i think the executive does have. the one time he went to congress he went to congress on syria so they could constrain him to keep him from doing what he has already pledged to do. why is congress important in that context and something to disregard in all other contexts? people can complain all day about this overuse of executive power and they have held hearings, and compelling testimony. why aren t you doing anything about it? if you examine how many legislative days are left, it s only 54. there is no plans to tackle anything. house speaker boehner said last
