you killed one of the creatures. the iranians downplaying all of this, not surprising. in a larger fight against the islamic state that us-led coalition had more than ten countries conducting airstrikes into ground operation and effort to fight isis. this is not symbolic when the military victory for all of the countries and u.s. allies in the region. baghdadi was a symbol when it comes to islamic extremism in the middle east. he gave the infamous speech in iraq in the summer of 2014 talking about isis plans to take over the middle east and the entire world lay in 2016 you heard audio released by baghdadi talking about isis around the world. it s important to note while the territorial isis in iraq and syria has been demolished, there s still isis sleeper cells like in afghanistan, egypt and algeria. while the president claims islamic state is 100% destroyed, that is not true. but we can confirm that the leader of islamic state
coalition forces chlths one of the things he said is we will see isis around the world try and carry out attacks. we, of course, don t yet know whether this individual is affiliated with isis. i don t mean to jump to that conclusion, mayor de blasio is crewing this as a terrorist attack and given the method of what we know so far of what the man is alleged to have said, it seems likely that will prove to be the case. so we hear in the senate have been paying athe engs to the increased risk we will see of lone wolf attacks around the world. as isis loses more territory and we ll have to wait to see as facts develop whether that s in fact what happened in manhattan. as you pointed out, mayor depl depalaceia said this was an act of terror and an action quote intended to break our spirit. i know you have been well
who are raqqa that we didn t kill. i hope we killed as many of them as there were in there. but those who scurried out that might have included baghdadi. we need to follow them and kill them there. there are nests of isis around the world. libya, for example. afghanistan, for example. so we need to keep at it. at this point, jake, looking forward now to the administration and what still needs to be done, my concerns at this point are less about the military campaign, which i think has culminated in iraq and syria and more about the political and the economic. so, for example, you saw a little dustup between the prime minister of iraq, abadi and the kurds. and the kurds in the north. i spoke to them all the time. starting two years ago when we
seen happen around the world, the persecution of people based on their religion. obviously it happened during the holocaust to european jews. what do you make of the reaction around the united states to what is clearly persecution of muslims just for trying to visit their families in the united states? i have found hope in just how insensed my fellow americans are that our president is attempting to full fim his campaign promises. the hundreds of thousands of people that showed up to the women s marches and hundreds of thousands showing up to airport protests across the country remind us that donald trump did not win a majority vote in the country. and what he is putting forward is not representative of what we pro tess to be our american values. you know, jeremy, i think for a lot of us who look at the far right taking hold really across the globe, how can progressive israelis, progressive americans,
and is it a muslim ban? it s not a muslim ban but we are totally prepared. it s working out very nicely. you see it at the airports, you see it all over. it s working out very nicely and we re going to have a very, very strict ban and we re going to have extreme vetting, which we should have had in this country for many years. joining me now, omar, director of the aclu s immigrants rights project and vince warren. gentlemen, is it a muslim ban? it is a muslim ban. he told us he was going to give us a muz lslim ban and that s w he did. it s not only a muslim ban, it s a muslim ban with a little loophole for christians. he planned to do something special for christians suffering persecution and by extension not do anything else for others who were. so then is it constitutional? it is not constitutional. okay. it s severely problematic, particularly with this christian exception. you cannot make an argument saying that we re going to
