well, how did that screening process work for the tsarnaev brothers? not so well, did it? that was 2002. doesn t matter when it is. we have the same screening process now. but they became radicalized in the united states. unless we improved it very, very substantially to the point where we could virtually guarantee that we were not importing terrorists, it seems to me like an inappropriate thing to do at this stage. when in fact it was 11 years. when we have countries over there who are refusing to take in refugees. it doesn t make any sense to me that we should have to do it and they re not taking in refugees from their own area. why should we have to do it? well, i think the idea would be we do it in conjunction with perhaps a consultation with these other countries would be some sort of global worldwide effort. and just to the tsarnaev thing, they came to the country in 2002, it was 11 years after that were the horrible boston marathon attacks. i am from boston,
quotation marks. he started to grow the full beard similar to what you see with some of the other extremists extremists. these things to not call them what they are is just a distraction of what we stand for in america. we re slowly denigrating our democracy to be politically correct to somebody else we need to stop that call it what it is and go fight isis where it originates. not in individual cases like this but go over and do what needs to be done what america can do so well in conjunction with our allies. well we ve got apparently we ve got potentially a few hundred of these potential lone wolves here we re told. how do we stop them? what do we do? it seems easy to be self ral radicalized, the tsarnaev brothers in your hometown. how do we stop them from ie tacking further? when we re talking about lone individuals, we ve got a real
their advantage. what are we doing to counter. this how do we stack up? we are not even there we are not even on the battlefield. if you look at the agency that has the primary responsibility, which is the state department, their attempts fail again and again and again because they ignore the fact that this is about ideology. my friend ralph peters said it s about fanaticism, yeah, absolutely. it s about religious ideology. you can only beat an ideology by coming up with a counter attack, a counter offensive like we did during the cold war. you have got to have counter propaganda. we have got to remember one thing. let s ditch this label of lone wolf. this is designed to make us disconnect the dots disimed to make us think these are sporadic disconnected individuals. they are not. whether it s the fort hood shooter. blps the tsarnaev brothers. whether it s the charlie hebdo shooter or this man in
these are things we should expect along the way. not that we should believe are okay but we should expect, and that one thing that is very important for us not to do is freak out on each other. because that is going cause even more problems. reporter: exactly. and we don t know what is going on with this, but we ll know soon enough. even if this were the worst-case scenario, we re going to have to deal with these issues and take a look at just the last few weeks, in garland texas we talked about an issue that we ll be debating more, and that is what:council triggers in people s mind who come to the attention of law enforcement when the might act. even we found in the tsarnaev brothers and garland texas the fbi was personally involved but at the time nothing had shown itself. just last week, we heard director comey talk about encryption and going dark, and now this week we re having the debate about in effect the dark reaches and depths of someone s open mind and own behavior. these a
you had multiple attackers in a major city in the east and they re killing people in hotels jewish center at the train station. you know when we talk about isis-inspired actors the fbi has been rolling up some of those guys in the last two weeks. some of them are lone wolfs but some have a brother, some have a friend, some have a couple associates that could link. you could get multiple inspired actors. we have seen two actors in the boston bombing, the tsarnaev brothers. you need a strong response so they can deal with it. like clint said i think this may turn out to be somebody reacting. and i m not saying they re overreacting. i think they re reacting to a tweet, a message, a fire cracker, a backfire who knows what it was. somebody said something, a suspicious person. given the history of what happened in 2013 in the navy yard, people at the navy yard are going to react in a certain way, and we all would, because of what s happened there before
