matt did. is it more common for escapees to stay together or split up and go it alone? you might recall the texas seven case from several years ago. they stayed together all the way up until the time they were caught which was i believe within 30 days later. generally it s after they re out of that danger area and this has been an extended manhunt at this point going on just over three weeks and i could see where they would stay together for psychological and physical support from one another is but at this point here i m just hoping we get something very soon in that hardened area where they re searching right now. i m sure you re echoing the sentiments of us as well. arthur good to see you. thank you, alex. u.s. officials issue a fourth of july warning that
we ve had perimeters set up before and they ve expanded the search areas and they ve become porous. but it sounds like they have a hard perimeter and they ll have to go section by section and clear it out. but aren t they searching with dogs who track with scent? it s interesting they wouldn t be able to pick up his scent if they know where richard matt was. i agree which sort of you can conclude from that that maybe they weren t together but we have no evidence to say that they had split up at this point. so we have to make the assumption that they re still together and that because they were in the danger area that they are still together. once they get out of the immediate proximity then they usually split up. in this particular case i think they were together based on the
that will leave an indelible mark in history. it sure will. kristen welker at the white house, thanks so much. joining me for more is the washington post david mack neuroa and the daily beast eleanor clift. david, let s talk about a couple things point by point. nakamura. david, what kind of challenge was that? well you know, they were somewhat coincidental this the timing worked out the way it did. each of these pieces is something this administration has worked hard on particularly health care, the first big priority, the trade deal is something that s not only a big second-term priority in his focus on the asia region but also on his domestic legacy and the idea that this administration can still work with republicans which is a rare achievement but something that they teamed up together to do. all of these taken together two the gay marriage ruling and the president s speech at that kristen just talked about did make for a remarkable week.
propaganda machine has not been destroyed by any coalition effort. understanding how we have to take it down both physically as well as from a project cal point of view is going to be key. the threat that was just announced by the united states government for the fourth of july weekend and the heightened alert is systematic of what we see coming out of isis. calling on individuals to find ways to attack the united states, france and other countries that are participating in the coalition even if they can not join isis in the territory that isis controls. destroying isis control over its territory and putting a i guess a parental lock on the social media is going to be key and we haven t done either. mark, talking about this july 4 situation, we know that isis likes symbolism. july 4, all about this country s freedom. are you concerned because of
question, the answer is no. i hope there s a follow-up. um, okay i was going to switch to obamacare, but i m going to sku ask you, what do you do then? if the answer is no again, looking at the primaries yes you have to get through them to get to the general but be a political strategist for a republican at this point. what do you do? what you do is you don t talk about it you try not to respond to the inevitable attacks coming from the democratic side. the democrats would be crazy not to use that as an issue in the general election. i m sure they will. who s who s one of hillary clinton s best friends, assuming she s the nominee, i m not saying for sure but it looks that way. one of her best friends, governor terry mcauliffe of virginia. he got elected almost entirely on the social issues like gay marriage. he was the first gubernatorial candidate from the south to come out in favor of gay marriage and
