she was granted that veeisa to enter the united states. the picture coming into focus. it s disturbing, to say the least. let s talk about this guy, enrique marquez, and this alleged 2012 terror plot. this is from enrique marquez, and he s been talking to investigators giving them a wealth of information the last few days, and he talked about how the two had a target in california. he told investigators they had scoped out a target but they got spooked because there had been a round of terror acts in that area, so they decided not to do it. those guns were later used in the san bernardino attack, but marquez denies any involvement in that attack. he told investigators that he was radicalized along with farook as early as 2011. it s important to point out he checked himself into a mental health hospital right after the attack. officials need to corroborate
this situation, muslims, there are muslims in the law enforcement agency and communities helping us solve crimes and prevent terror acts. going forward, we want to make sure we aren t exposing innocent people to discrimination and suspicion unnecessarily by showing family photos and those things but at the root of it, this lone wolf attack was simply unacceptable. certainly was unacceptable. 14 people murdered and 21 people injured. we just heard the lawyers for farook s family, he s the husband, the male shooter suggest that people were getting way ahead of themselves because these two individuals, the husband and wife both muslim. what do you make of that and i ask you that question in part because you re one of two muslims in the u.s. congress. well, i think it s always challenging when you have these acts committed and these, you
will always commit terror acts. we somehow accept north korea. we accept there is an evil, awful regime that is contained like a benign tumor that whenever it becomes malignant, we will zap it, but we leave it will and decide that s what we re going to do. it seems to me it works so far with north korea, and one day maybe we can destroy them. why can t we apply that to isis? what do you mean? i m saying, let it go, let him cohese or become a structure. first of all, north korea is not as ev as evil and horribl they are, is not a direct threat like isis is and they have nuclear weapons. that makes it a little more difficult. but i think we have an immediate problem with isis look, i wish we could do something about north korea.

as you look at the situation as it is right now, what is the u.s. role in this? what can secretary kerry or president obama do? what is israel looking for from the united states? i think the most important thing right now is we want to stop the violence. help us de-escalate. i think the best thing to do is follow secretary kerry s lead in pushing back on saying you have to stop these terror acts and have you to basically stop lying about israel changing the status quo on the temple mount. that s what firing these people up. and then we have to get back to the negotiating table to try to resolve a conflict. people confuse the root causes of a conflict with the root causes of terrorism. there are conflicts around the
