calling shots isis or al qaeda? this is al qaeda on the iraqi peninsula. this was the investment that was made in this organization after we started to chase down the lead areship post 9/11 in pakistan and really took them out of any operational control or capabilities. this is the organization that they invested in. they are very much alive and well in a sense. we ve been banging up against these guys in yemen with our special operations people and with the yemeni military for some time. they are behind the detroit bomber with the bomb in his underwear and other forms of trying to get plastic bombs into this country. this is an organization that s intent on hurting americans at home as well as capturing others so they can finance their operation. they will continue to do this. all right, general jack keane, we thank you for joining us and we have our work cut out
to want and this is not just a fox poll or another cable poll. they want immigration reform. correct. they want illegals to be kept out of this country. they want illegals in this country, especially those committing crimes, to be kicked out. they want some kind of border control. that is something that this president has neglected to do to protect our borders, if we re fighting wars overseas and can t protect our own borders and letting in mexicans, who s to say we ll let in al qaeda and isis. let me go first this time. let me try first drn. matt, then steven, we ve got to go. the president is making a bill political mistake but also disserving his office and the american people by not going to congress and working on compromise. i know he would like to see that senate version of immigration reform be the law of the land. guess what? republicans in the house don t want to see it be the law of the land. by the way the american people added to the ranks of
