we ve encountered resident after resident that have told us all day long that they feel very safe living in this community, they don t they don t see what the president is talking about in terms of there being a crisis down at the border, at least they don t feel it in their community and they don t understand why the president is declaring a national emergency they feel living in one of the safest places in america. and so it is kind of a curious spot the president has chosen to do the sort of photo op being one of the safest places in the country. at the same time, he is getting he s getting some realtime intelligence, realtime information from border patrol agents, law enforcement officials who are on the ground here right now. they re talking to him about all this, but it s interesting to see people sort of latch on to the steel slat fencing idea where when you have a situation like we have here in mcallen, texas, where there is some of that here but it s certainly not
it has to be very strategic in terms of the information we re getting realtime intelligence to make targeted strikes that are going to put big dents in their game. i agree. i think it is a little too early to know any specific plans these candidates have put forward. they have spent the summer introducing themselves to republican voters and america at large, but they have to win the republican primary at first. i think it is a little bit too early. i think what you re looking for right now is what is your governing philosophy, what s your approach, what kind of people would you listen to make important decisions for the future. do you believe people have the ability to self-govern? nation building is an interesting one. either neither al gore and george bush were never asked about al qaeda
also get in this raid along with killing him? reporter: well what we have seen in past similar raids, even the osama bin laden mission, when special forces captured this kind of data they go through it. they make an initial pass at it very quickly to see what they have to see if there s anything that they might be able to take action on if you will very quickly. is there realtime intelligence that they can exploit and perhaps conduct another raid another mission, get better understanding of isis operations and organizational structure. so they will go through that very quickly and see essentially what they can do. i think a lot of people may have the question why is there so much information about this? right. reporter: they re not giving us the full story, the administration clearly, the white house, the pentagon telling us what they want us to know. what we don t know is is this a signal perhaps to other isis operatives. if there are isis operatives out
we supported the shaw. and so on and so if america simply gives up any pretense of trying to contain this central bank for international terrorism, developing nuclear weapons that the iranian regime will say well, i guess the americans are okay. let s give all that up. it s naive it s ideological. most of all, it s dangerous for the country. well, it really is it s a haphazard approach. i don t understand how we are supposed to be operating acting with realtime intelligence if we are constantly apologizing for what the president thinks are our transgressions of the past. i think the signal he is sending, not just to our adversaries like iran and north korea, but to our friends like israel, saudi arainia, the united arab emirates kuwait, they are looking around that this man embracing someone who is threatening to overrun our government. the risk to them is after cute. it s a signal of weakness.
next to nothing back. why are we afraid for bargain for consideration. we are giving this. it seems we are offering from such a week positioning points it makes no sense whatsoever the president is making us welcome he believes america is not positive in the world he thinks he we re are the problem. in the case of iran. he believes we have treated them badly over the years. we supported the shaw. and so on and so if america simply gives up any pretense of trying to contain this central bank for international terrorism, developing nuclear weapons that the iranian regime will say well, i guess the americans are okay. let s give all that up. it s naive it s ideological. most of all, it s dangerous for the country. well, it really is it s a haphazard approach. i don t understand how we are supposed to be operating acting with realtime intelligence if we are constantly apologizing for what the president thinks
