Its will on a minority group. So there are all kinds of reasons for violence. But one of the phenomenon that we are now seeing is he very specific promotion of violent extremism that oftentimes is twisting and distorting. And i think ultimately defying the hedicts of one of the worlds great religions, islam, and groups like al shabab and isil and boko haram. And the question is how do we fight back against those ideologies that allows us still to be true to the values of peace and tolerance and due process and rule of law. So the United States is obviously committed to this fight against terrorism. And we are working with countries and partnering with countries all around the world to go after, whether it is al qaeda, boko haram. But what weve also said is in order to defeat the extremist ideologies it couldnt just be police, military and security. It has to be reaching into communities that feel marginalized and making sure they feel they are hurt. Making sure the young people in thos

I am going to tell you what i can see because i do not know what happened further over the bridge. Her seems to be evidence people are injured elsewhere on the bridge. I can see a car crashed into the railings that run alongside the courtyard that is, if you picture big ben, there is a green courtyard in front of it, the iconic scene. There is a railing that runs alongside that and into that railing i can see a car is crashed. I can see ambulances on the bridge and my colleague saw someone run through the gates of parliament. They must have got past a policeman, and he then saw them shot. Since then, we have seen two ambulances come in, a helicopter ambulance landed in the square and that is now gone. The other one is still in the precinct. We have seen a large number of Armed Police Officers run in. There does seem to be a slight relaxation. I can now see one person walking through the security cordon that runs around parliament, somebody who clearly works here. There does seem now to
My heart started to beat faster and i thought where have you been . Where have all of you ben . They stood by and watched this president destroy important parts of our democracy and done nothing. Am i glad he said it today and should it go down in history as an Important Senate speech . Yes. But for gosh sakes, they would not even vote to have witnesses in an impeachment trial. This is really not a moment to celebrate Mitch Mcconnell, but im glad he found it in his intestinal fortitude to state the obvious. You cant overthrow an election because you have a serial liar in the white house. You cant do it. Does mcconnells words keep the cruzholly game, and 211, from growing . Does he shrink the group . Im not sure if it affects the final vote much, but this is as impassioned as Mitch Mcconnell gets, right . He took great care to write. He has had a long and accomplished career. This is clearly one of the thing thats he will be a member for. He is adept, cold blooded, at the end of the day
