jihadist. and you ve seen other democrats pick up on this. the idea that it s about gun control. that why should people on the no fly list be able to buy guns. you saw hillary clinton tweet that out. in many ways, it s the president s job to guide, obviously, the country. but give democrats some idea how they should talk about this. it seems like they re all over the place. if the president could say he could use all 15 minutes to say radical jihadists. i don t think anybody would expect isis would drop the weapons and surrender. in preparing the country and leading the world he should have a tougher tone. let me show you the numbers. does president obama have a clear plan to deal with isis. this is from cnn polling a month ago. 27% yes. 71% no. when we expect the president told will renew his pitch saying
community s reports. he was being accurate. that s the problem. i think that s the fear. that s why there s this pressure tonight. we re in the new era. just because there is some organized isis plot to attack the homeland doesn t mean you can t have copy cat people here in the states or those trying to impress isis somehow going to carry it out. how does this president explain to the american people what we re going to do now going forward? a different kind of terrorist threat. do-it-yourself jihad is referred to in that article. i think he has to be the explainer in chief. he has to be less lawyerly and almost more fatherly and more empathetic in terms of the real fear that americans have. at times he wanted to go after the republicans and discredit the case in this case were making. i believe he probably shouldn t spend much time doing that tonight and connect with how americans are feeling. you made the point about his communications throughout this. the white house said they
in denial about what is happening. i think that is the case that you hear the republicans making. now it is a lot easier to run for president than to be president. and the republicans are all very critical of this administration. but what would they do differently? what is the real thing they would differently? their tone would be different. there s no question their tone would be different. donald trump said he would bomb the [ expletive ] out of isis. president obama said we re doing some bombing. more troops? lindsey graham said that. the surveillance issue is a big debate with marco rubio going after ted cruz who said, like rand paul, voted to e limit the government s priority. it is starting to seem like a long time ago 9/11. but this is making it so fresh in the minds. so rand paul any potential of any argument this libertarianism and the privacy debate. i think that is out the window here.
