you were a jihaddist why did you become one? it s a mix of ideology and foreign policy grievances. for me i was made to feel guilty about the western lifestyle that i was living, trying to find my way my identity who am i supposed to be, how western am i supposed to be? how islamic am i supposed to be? are the two incompatible, as i tried to answer these questions, i find myself moving towards more extreme views. why did you stop being a jihadist? well, it really came down to studying the religion properly. i mean, these extremists they cherry pick verses. i spent two years studying islamic and arain bic studies. i went h. a professor that went through and debunked them. was it difficult to leave? i assume had you friends in syria, right? yeah. when i was still in canada and with these extremist individuals, i mean, yeah, there were people that they were with me, three of my friends, two of them went to

gauge in the middle east. he has created vacuums in iraq and syria. isis is filling those voids. he seems determined to let iran walk all over him. instead of focus on danger want media wants to to replay 2003. presidents don t get to replay past decisions. they have got to deal with the cards they have in front of them. make the best decision to protect our interest. president obama is not doing that the senate had a chance to stop him instead they rolled over. they had a chance with their approval to actually do some real independent oversighted. instead they just passively gave. in at least tom cotton had the courage to vote against a very bad bill. governor, thank you. i would note that you formed an exploratory committee so i m sure we will be hearing more from you as we march to the 2016. thank you sir. thank you greta. and coming up, new clues in an arson and murder of a family at a mansion down the street from vice president biden s house. that s next.
