multitude of people, everyone from former house speaker newt gingrich to former texas governor rick perry. also an interesting meet and greet was with hawaii congress woman. she was here, and said she disagrees with donald trump but came to talk about the policies in syria as well as her thoughts in the war on terror and isis. don. thank you, jessica. appreciate that. i want to bring in cnn political commentators, david swer lick, matt lure wys and peter beiner. matt, the first person to bring it up and talk about it at length on this show was you, the alt rate. because i was getting hate tweets from the alt-right for years. and the prominence over the last year, we re calling it alt-right, but it is a white nationalist grup, is it just the klan or racist rebranding themselves? it is the joke about the holy roman empire, neither holy,
techniques. this is a return to that even though the techniques had been stopped. it makes you wonder, why now? united states has transferred six guantanamo bay detainees to uruguay. this is the largest grup to leave the prison since 2009 and the first to be resettled in south america. group includes four syrians, one palestinian and one tunisian. that brings the number of prisoners now hit at gtmo down to 136. once administration gets that number below 100, it s believed the president will push to bring the remaining detainees to a u.s. facility. i want to go on this one. this is a little different than what we saw with the birdall transfer. this is a release. former federal prosecutor was on earlier and he said there s no preconditions with this one. not like in qatar where they have to watch the detainees. they are free to go today, the
operation. you re talking about seman c semantics whether he was with or wasn t with al qaeda. look at the person head of isis, carrying off the move through iraq right now examine and killing so much in that country. also said to be tied to al qaeda just in terms of inspiration, if you will. it s interesting how you can t get away from coming back to that one organization, particularly with benghazi, though, because from the very beginning, we were told they had nothing to do with it. and it s also you re talking about a grup of militants who clan up and work together when they ve got a common goal. i think it s really important for the u.s. to not be that common goal. obviously. but it is such a post modern world where you have you know, who knows who is fighting? who knows if it s al qaeda? who knows where the head of the monster is and how you chop it off and if that s possible. for those keeping track, it s been 642 days since the benghazi
white house to come up with a story politically beneficial to the president seven weeks before an election that totally changed the facts on the ground. i think for political purposes. now where is mike? he s in the private sector working with a grup of people tied to the hillary clinton camp and others who know a lot about benghazi. the fact of the memo and the talking points is important. many believe that there was political influence on the changing of those talking points in that particular in the days that happened right after the event. we need to make sure if that, in fact, is not true. the hearing this week is the first public hearing with the witness whose role leads directly to the state department.
and so businesses may be exploring are there some possibilities to get in sooner rather than later if and when there is an actual agreement to be had, but i can tell you that they do so at their own peril right now because welcome down on them like a ton of bricks. you know, with respect to the sanctions we control and we expect full compliance with respect to the grup in the interim. we don t want new sanctions. but we also want to send the message to the iranians that if they don t resolve this broader issue of their nuclear program that there will be consequences and that the sanctions regime not only will stay in place but are will likely be tightened
