the terrorists, most of them. there has been bipartisan support for this issue. i think it s a very wholehearted arbitrary number that he s looking at. when it comes down to it, the number of refugees who committed terror acts in the u.s. since 9/11 how many have killed americans customer zero. this is about keeping us safe, it s about playing to your political base and using an arbitrary number two sound good when he don t have a lot of other political success. katie: is not summing this way to keep us safe questioning after 9/11, we dropped the cap to 27,000 refugees. harris: we kept it safer with the combination, you re talking about one of them. judge, eileen to you a little bit on this. marie, i think the conversation has shifted a little bit and it shifted in this way. yes, at first, the travel ban was leaning mostly in the direction of being able to find those among the refugees might be coming here to harm us. now i think it s a bigger issue
the u.k. is set for parliamentary elections to see who is set for the next prime minister. that is set for thursday. there could be clinical timing to this terror acts. it has london shocked right now wondering and counting up the injured trying to come to some realization about who is behind this. live in london, thank you for the update. the department of homeland security is closely monitoring the events. greg joins us from the washington journal . what advice is americans giving in london? they are closely monitoring things. issuing a statement that says, the secretary has been briefed on the incidence. at this time we have no information to indicate a specific terror threat in the united states.
that in the beginning of the show tonight. we have been told by nato, the president said it was obsolete, there were discussion because they were in focus enough on this huge that faces the world right now. how is that being manifested? can we see that in action yet? we have to go both ways. i agree with brad. the president of egypt wants to be a reformer and we need to work with him. as a mention, we need to reinvent the tools, techniques, and technology and focus in such a way to be effective. that s part of what nato should be doing. using all the military capability that they ve developed over the years has not updated and focused on specific areas. antiterrorism actions and all those hard things that apparently europe just can do right now just like peter king had mentioned when you re talking to peter about fbi knowing all these and individuals ahead of time, the same thing can be true of all the terror acts in europe. everyone of those individuals were on the radar but somehow
in this country, and orlando you can look at the list that the white house put together, most of them were situations where fewer than three people died. that s not an excuse for not reporting it more, but what if the white house is benchmarked? that would be the question i would ask. what does more or less reporting look like to you? how do we sure up and make the difference? i have some questions, because if you re going to accuse the media not doing its job, if you re saying to us that we are not doing it, what is your idea of doing a more fairly? abby: i think the obama administration continued to put out press releases and say everything is fine, isis is not rising, we got terror under control. when he was able to do successfully in this moment was put the media on defense. you look at how all of the different outlets have handled this, you have to look back and research all of the terror acts
refugees when we have had no examples, none, not one of a syrian refugee engaged in terrorism in the united states. and the third point, and i think this is one that is going to haunt us for a long time, was the suggestion by the president that somehow we re going to favor christians, and in some cases banning muslims in the future. that is exactly the opposite message we need to send to our allies and and to those who, frankly, want to do us harm around the world. chris: but, senator, the president points and there s no question, as kellyanne conway pointed out, there have been some mess-ups this weekend. but on the larger issue of what he s doing, the president points out that there are islamic radicals, some of them refugees, who have committed terror acts in europe. there was at least one person who came in on a visa program who was involved in the terror attack in bernandino. he says i m the one protecting the country. i can tell you that i can t stand up for any european stan
