There was an interesting article in the New York Times today abetter an aider and of the attackers, it appears clear that that was inspired at least in part by the sermons and lectures coming out of yemen over the internet. That radicalized farook. Were still not clear on how her journey became to become a terrorist. They managed to kill 14 people are largescale terrorist attack like paris where you had a 130 people slaughtered, mumbai, madrid 191 people killed, simultaneous terrorist attacks executed by a halfdozen or more foreign trained terrorists. That presents the kind of terrorist attack that i would say is most consequential and we want to make sure that we prioritize and focus our efforts as a government and with other governments on preventing that.

One of the arguments i make in the book is that we do need legislators to find ways to represent their party and their districts but at the same time, they need to do things that are good for the country and make Congress Work well. Part of that means simply treating the Minority Party with some degree of respect. And giving them opportunities to do thanks. That has not been the case the last several decades.

They do a lot of messaging, a lot of position taking, not necessarily helpful in terms of enacting good policy.
