let s start with you. why does the ban a good thing to do. what they re doing is continuing the campaign against terrorism which was started of course it s been going on for let s just say decade nous but the 7 countries were designated as countries of concern by the obama administration and they were because they are known to have antiamerican sentiments. they re known to have terrorist training camps and they re known to have very, very poor documentation and almost impossible vetting and people that are leaving there and those 7 countries are in continuation of what the obama administration recognized as a potential threat to the united states. potential. so the point of push back has been consistency. fair push back. well, i think you have been highlighting the facts this morning that nobody from these
society are coming to show support. they have signs welcoming the muslim community and loving the muslim community. we have to respond to bad with good. that is absolutely what the muslim community will do and all faith communities. gentlemen, thank you for your kind words. we will speak again soon. thank you for being here. thank you. peace be with you. and you. we are following a lot of news. let s get to it. there are 46 other countries with muslim populations that are not part of this. that s an important thing to note. when he first announced it, he said muslim ban. show me the right way to do it legally. no hate, no fear, refugees are welcome here. this whole idea they re being separated and ripped from their families, that s temporary. it s not right to treat human beings like that. love, not hate, that s what makes america great. this executive order was mean spirited and un-american. gunmen going on a deadly rampage at a mosque in quebec.

repo reporting. not one american has been killed in a terrorist attack by someone that s a refugee from one of these countries. to say it makes us safer i don t think it meets that test. that s such an important point to reiterate. i m glad you did. the trump administration said we didn t make up these 7 countries that we re now suggesting for this travel ban or ordering from this travel ban. this came from 2015 from the obama administration. these are the countries that they identified as being terror prone. what is your response to that? that is correct that the state has a terror list and there s the 7 countries. three countries from which people have come who committed the 911 attacks and other attacks are excluded from this list and it unclear why they
