time. what you heard is very different from what i actually said or what i actually meant. and the idea that people have to kind of go back and debate whether or not he said it, no, there s a fact as to whether or not that particular thing is true or not true. and the idea that you would be offensive, not apologize for it, not ask for forgiveness for it and then tell the people who you ve offended that they are wrong from having benefited because it s not what you said or it s not what you meant, it is snault on top of insult. but what you re describing, charles, is the trump m.o. he did the same thing about meghan kelly when he said she was bleeding out of parts of her body and he said i didn t mean that. which is precisely right. this is donald s m.o. and it s working, unfortunately. i think it s working among people who live this sort of thing, who relish the insult and
the rights of muslims here in the united states, that will protect us. i think it s wrong. listen, brooke. i think it s dangerous. but it s working. scottie, you re shaking your head. even cc cnn in 2009 did a great, great story on homegrown hate where anderson cooper and drew griffin admitted there were revolutionary muslims in america, in new york and new jersey who celebrated 9/11, who were here to take out america. so it s not necessarily a made-up fight. you don t have to connect the tea leaves to realize there are some terrorist issues here in america as well as internationally. we just want to sever those ties, something donald trump is saying. i m happy he s talking about securing my family first before worrying about all of those on the other side. that s exactly what is about building a wall. he s talking economically with jobs. just right now, terrorism is at the top of the headlines, hence, why this is dominant. there is homegrown hate among muslims who want to th
on thursday, i traveled to the state department for an interview with the secretary of state, john kerry. during that conversation kerry talked about something that is even more relevant today in the wake of the attacks in paris, the obama administration s policy against isis. listen carefully to what he told me. i mean there is a concerted strategy here. i keep hearing people say what s the strategy? the strategy is clear. president obama at the very beginning said we re going to degrade and defeat isil. we re going to stabilize the countries in the region and we re going to seek a political settlement. that s the strategy today and it s working, to a degree, not as fast as we would like bewe re making gains. we have liberated major communities. about 75% of the border between northern syria and turkey has
