back here in the back. reporter: mr. bolton the man in the back. reporter: so the argentinean authorities captured two hezbollah suspects last week and brazil is probably going to follow the american foot steps and black list hezbollah also on terrorist lists. also hezbollah is applying for the last sanctions by blocking the formation of the new government. so how do you put all this together? is it going to be discussed in the g-20 summit, the iran-hezbollah influence in the region? i expect in the bilateral meetings depending on the country, that there will be substantial conversation about counterterrorism efforts where we participate together. that s certainly something that may welcome up in brazil with the president-elect. i think it s one of president trump s biggest priorities to extend cooperation against terrorism, whether it s hezbollah or hamas or others.
walsh. we also have with us mark preston, senior political analyst. ben, let me start with you, there isn t any proof that middle easterners are in this crowd of the caravan, why make the claim? i think it s a bigger point the president is trying to make. we don t know all the people in this kacaravan. all the people are not people looking for asiylum and doing good things p.m. we know in this country, every day the government stopped 10 people a day in 2017 that were on terrorist lists or connected to terrorism. that s not i m sorry to interrupt. that s not necessarily at the mexico border. right. anyone coming into the united states. the easiest area to come into this country illegally, and we ve seen it from al qaeda, if there s ways to get into america, one of the easiest ways to do it is not on a plane. the president is going back to things that worked well for him in the election. we need to secure the border. the fact that you have 10,000 or
have terrorist lists and people come to various ports of entry who our people identify as having terrorist connections. no doubt they want to come across and no doubt they want to come across as refugees and no doubt they want to sneak in and especially the southern border being so porous we have to be on guard there. it shows the sophistication of our detection. people have links to terrorism are spotted much earlier. i don t think she is saying that 15 come across the border but of the thousands and thousands of people who are applying we do find people attempting to come into the country legally who have terrorist connections and that s what she was speaking of. bill: trying to get here. if you have that fact, why not say that every day? this administration has been pushing for that border to be secured. that is a number that gets attention is my point. i understand, yeah. again, i think probably gets as high as 15 when we re talking
of vinls on terrorist lists. how common is that? it is common when you have a last name like mahmoud. you say you have been speeging to muslims in the united states who are concerned about taking trips out of the u.s. now. so. right there is a lot of fear and hysteria right now. it s a time of christmas. and i think that if christmas is the spirit that we all are going to be experiencing in the next
