ago, we know that he is from uzbekistan originally. that part of the world was actually responsible for a lot of foreign fighters showing up in iraq and syria. i don t believe that saipov himself was. these are the kind of attacks are those who are trying to be returned, these foreign fighters that want to make their way back on him, who have e.u. passports, american passports, they want to conduct, because the efficacy, the efficiency of terrorists doing attacks like this versus trying to engage in a complex sell, build high explosives, have a multipronged attack with weapons or they may get caught, firearms or they may get caught trying to purpose, there is a much greater likelihood of in the tag with these vehicles. that is why we are seeing so many. shannon: the nypd has a program and talked about today going to car rental agencies and places like where this truck came from and tried to say, listen, let s share information. if you find something that is troubling. call us first.
you did under the obama administration. the guy we captured in libya that we think overran the conflict and killed our ambassador and three americans, i talked to the attorney general today, if this guy is not an enemy combatant, what you have to do to be an enemy combatant? you take up arms against the u.s., you break into the consulate, you kill our ambassador, we are not trying to rob a consulate. here s what i like about president trump. the gloves are off. go after these guys wherever they are. you can kill them when you find them, you don t have to watch them drive away. now he has a chance to tell the american people that the homeland as part of the battlefield. i hope that president trump and his team tonight will tell the american people that we are going to hold this man as an enemy combatant under the law of war until we can find out whether or not he really is part of and enemy network. shannon: no miranda rights. this quote. you said this. a civilized world must come tog
of a bigger pot. i hope president trump will break the cycle of turning that were into a crime by declaring this guy a suspected enemy can patent, hold him under the law of war until we know who he is and what he did. shannon: you know that when you use the words religious war that we are at a religious war, that rubs a lot of people the wrong way who? they say that it captures of people not mall intent or radical, when you frame it in these terms, when you use the word religion, you know it makes people uncomfortable. if you ask fellow muslims, they hate these guys more than we do. i think a rock i have been to iraq and afghanistan 43 times. no one is ever told me to stop saying radical islam. islam is not represented by these guys. it s a form of islam, it requires them to kill us all. most muslims don t buy with a are selling. we need partners in this war. i m glad that president trump went to saudi arabia and urged the muslim leaders of the world to stand up against thi
conversation about what s in these texts and what the imams are teaching. fundamentally, they are saying we want to wash our hands, we want them to deal with this. but that is the best way. if we look at, do you want to bring the muslim community on board with this and do you want to make people feel safe in their communities, that is a bus conversation to have. shannon: we talked about how this is very sensitive because when when you talk to people about going back to the imams, looking at their sermons, going into someone s mosque, that is a real volatile idea for a lot of people. i think it is insulting. i know you think that in some ways, people in this country are exploiting our love of the freedom of religion and hiding behind that. where is that balance between privacy, civil liberties, that kind of thing, and religious freedom? a mosque is a unique place. americans forget this. we are the only country in in te world who has established a freedom of speech, the first amendme
gates. there is nothing indictment to suggest that while they were working for president trump, they concluded to the russians. all the activity has prior to the campaign. manafort s lawyers said that the president is right. there is no indication of collusion. for manafort s lawyer to tell the world at large that this is not about russian collusion, he is telling the world that my client did not collude with the russians. he is going to defend against the charges but they are completely unrelated to any activity he had in the trump campaign about this guy who was an unpaid volunteer. if i were a russian, he d be the last guy to collude with because he had no influence or power. if i m the trump team, i am thinking that manafort and gates problems are unassociated with being part of the campaign and that manafort s lawyers telling the whole world that there is no collusion here, i would rest pretty good tonight. shannon: all right. senator, always good to see you. you seem like you
