I think they just whispered but i dont see them coming out like saudi arabia, egypt, all these countries, really coming up and saying no to terrorism. Our is the reason why borders need to be secure, because we dont know who can get in to harm us. Yet there is no indication that this was connected to any type of ideology. Do you think that kind of thinking is in connection with this . Caller i am sure it is. That is the direction of the in Great Britain is going. They dont want to say it yet.

Host as far as the connection do you think this is connected to what happened in manchester . Caller that is correct. Saudi arabia is financing it.

It is amazing that we have not had and got to bed more attacks god forbid more attacks in the United States. You can tell these terrorists re hitting the u. K. They are all soft targets. Maybe these nations are going to start to tighten up their views debts the social views as far as religion goes and what not. Here in los angeles, we got a person driving car into an intersection in hollywood. These kind of attacks are so random. You wonder are these suicide from jihad actions, what kind of people are these people . When youre dead, youre a fark in the wind. Host the wall street journal adds that the attack came in the middle of a Political Campaign ahead of a general election on june 8.

We will hear from michael. Caller thanks for taking my call. There is a very disturbing truth that i want americans to hear and understand. If weekend terrorism very simply, we as a nation can stop participating in terrorism. We went to the middle east many years ago against their wishes, their religious leaders, we were warned to stay out of our country. , a all of these attacks blowback from western imperialism, taking their oil, going over in changing their governments. I want americans to realize this, why arent chinese being attacked by muslims . Why arent canadians being attacked . Why arent other nations being attacked by muslims . Think about that, america. Host from new york, another michael. Good morning. Caller good morning. Sorry about, i feel the horrible attack. My comment is is i voted for donald trump in the election but right now i. If rim, because he chose to go to saudi arabia for his first trip. He signed a deal with them and we know that they are behind a lot of these attacks. Wahhabiism and terrorism. I am not sure why trump would do this, only because of the money that they are pouring into our country. Host when do you when it comes to the event in manchester, do you think these can be prevented . Caller as long as we stop support for saudi arabia and the ideology [indiscernible] i am sorry about this. Host theresa may going before cameras to talk about the incident and what our nation is doing. Here is some of that. I just shared a meeting of the government emergency, cobra where we discuss the appalling events in manchester last night. Our prayers are with the victims and the families and friends. That the people of manchester in this country have fallen victim of a terrorist attack. An attack that targeted some of the youngest people in our society with cold calculation. This was among the worst terrorist incidents we have ever experienced in the United Kingdom. Although it is not the first time manchester has suffered in this way, it is the worst attack the city has experienced and the worst ever to hit the north of england. The police and Security Services are working at speed to establish the complete picture, but i wanted to tell you what i can at this stage. At 10 33 last night, the police were called to report of an explosion at Manchester Arena in Manchester City center near victoria train station. We now know the single terrorist detonated his improvised explosive device near one of the exits to the venue. The liberally choosing the time and place to cause maximum carnage and to kill and injure and discriminate lee. The explosion coincided at the conclusion of a pop concert which was attended by many young families and groups of children. All acts of terrorism are cowardly attacks on innocent people. This attack stands out for its appalling sickening cowardice deliberately targeting innocent defenseless children and young people who should have been enjoying one of the most memorable nights of their lives. Host that is to resume a given reaction yesterday to it happened in manchester. Getting your thoughts on it. If you live outside of the United States reportingan website the first victim is being named in this attack, an 18yearold college student. She attended renshaw college. The college leasing a statement releasing a statement. If you go to the guardian website on its manner, it is saying christian from North Carolina, democrats line, you are next. Bad for theel so people in the u. K. But when you the ideology that only muslims can do this, look what happens in american, june 12, 2016, 49 People Killed, april 16, 2010 in virginia, 32 People Killed. Decent 14th, 2012, 27 People Killed in san diego sandy hook elementary school. As a matter if it is a gun or a bomb, it is still terrorism. It continues to happen in the United States. Look at all of the Police Officers who kill, the people kill their own people. Terrorism continues to happen in the United States whether it is a bomb or a gun. Host how do you fight against that ideology . Caller well i dont know that answer. The bible tells us to love. We dont as far as the United States with the weapons, who needs weapons of mass destruction when we have a military. Host helen is in california, the republican line. Caller i was born in manchester and i have lots of family still in manchester. Here is the paradox about fighting terrorism in the United Kingdom is i will give you a scenario. My cousins daughter who has a phd in genetics and she is english, not an immigrant. When she walks to work to the hospital in manchester, she has to pass a place which is a miley reputation where a lot of young immigrants from the middle east are and they are all muslim. Chester run across the street hoping they dont follow her and continues spitting on her because she is not dressed in a hygiene in a job or wearing a burqa. The paradox is my cousins daughters friend is a muslim from pakistan. It seems as though this is a new wave of immigration that is coming to the United Kingdom that is less educated and they are making assumptions. They seem to be more desperate, more stuck in poverty, less able to get a job in this rapidly changing employment. This is occurring as a election is taking place that was called by theresa may. Do you think that the larger issues of immigration will shape that election . Caller yes i do. Neofascistreally Movement Moving to europe, especially in places where they have been impacted greatly by immigration. Yes, it will. There has to be a line drawn. I noticed my frequent visits to starteder, the protests in the early 1990s. It was shocking to me because they had never been any major protests. This was in Downtown London by muslims from the middle east, recent immigrants who were protesting saying they were not allowed to be a part of british society. Right there he saw the alienation. They came into the country feeling alienated. They have not assimilated. What really astounds my mother who grew up in manchester is the proliferation of mosques in that manchester and surrounding areas. It has become yeah. Host i wanted to go on to another caller. Republican line. Caller thank you for taking my call. For myself, this reiterates what President Trump is trying to do and that is to somewhat keep an eye and surveilled the individuals coming to our country. Naturally there have been some people that have been dissatisfied that are americans themselves, but for myself, i do believe that we need much more scrutiny of people that come into our country. I think that the people who are here legally and have the proper visas and everything, they likewise need to be supervised because they can be radicalized because they all do tend to go to the samos and gathering areas. I am behind President Trump and keeping a much more vigilant eye on people coming from nations and countries that are where this type of activity is deemed as an acceptable expression of their faith and commitment. That is space clue what ive got it im behind what President Trump has going on now. Host the president in his travels overseas talked about this issue as part of a q and a that was going on with the palestinian leader, mock mood abbas. Here is some of the president s statement. As president of the United States, on behalf of the people of the United States, i would like to begin by offering my prayers to the people of manchester and the United Kingdom. I extend my deepest condolences to those in this terrorist attack into the many killed and the families, so many families of the victims. Solidarity absolute with the people of the United Kingdom. So many young, beautiful, innocent People Living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life. , wont call them monsters because they would like that term. They would think that is a great name. Onill call them from now losers, go because that is what they are. Host that is President Trump continuing on his overseas trip commenting on the events in manchester, United Kingdom. Good to our website if you want to see more of that, including theresa may and others. If you follow us on twitter, we have a section on our washington journal section is highlights tweets from members of congress. They comment on a lot of things but also about this reaction as well you can follow us on our twitter feed. Independent line, this is grant, arlington, virginia. Caller thanks for taking my call. I want to speak about the issue of containing terrorism. I believe we need to put more pressure on the air nations arab nations, a coalition to fight isis and this radical ideology. I think we need to chastise a lot of the countries that provide funding to the radical moms radical imams that promote this ideology and also control isis within syrias borders. The pressure on turkey to control weapons flow into syria and different areas where they can get out and conduct these terrorist attacks in these european nations and on u. S. Soil. Host this is missy off of facebook. About 80 people commenting on the situation. Missy says again twitter is available if you want to post their. Also on our website at our twitter page at cspan wj. This is dean saying michael is in queens village, new york. Hi. Caller good morning. First i want to say i offer my prayers of condolences to the dead and wounded. A prayer of thanks to the First Responders and the people who responded to help save their fellow men, including muslims that were reported by the bbc who helped to save lives as medics on the scene. I want to say that hate does not work. It is a part of American History that we have used hate and terrorism has been used against our own people. Hate is not an American Value. Dissemination based upon a religion or race is not an American Value but it is a part of American History. The ku klux klan they were american bred terrorism. We can go ahead and say it is muslims or islam that is the people are practice that is wrong. Terrorism is a tactic. It is a choice that a group of people use. Most of the victims worldwide of muslim extremist terraces extremist terrorism groups is the muslims. Victims are fellow muslims. The version that the perversion of religion the perversion of religion. You kill your own people. If you look at boko haram, they are killing their own africans. Yes . Host this is the response from the department of Homeland Security yesterday saying that they are closely monitoring the situation eugene from laurel, maryland. Independent line. Caller thank you for giving this opportunity. I really concur with a lot of the previous callers talked about. It is about hate and not about religion. Acts of violence, the United States has a long history of christian terrorists and the obama bombing the Oklahoma City bombing is an indication of that kind of violence. Turn our eyes to one religion and say islam is the cause of it paid we have extremists in all religions. We should be looking at more pragmatic approach to solving problems. Equalities and social injustices that are not being talked about. Religious just extremism. It should be talked about with the scope of economic and social injustices. Our society and much more in the middle east and countries where we have extremists islamist terrorism. Host washington, d. C. , democrats line, go ahead. Caller thank you for the opportunity and i am very said with what happened in manchester. To prevent this kind of attack, terrorists, you cannot anticipate when theyre coming. For the society as a sin as a citizen, we need to have some kind of mandatory training. Those in law enforcement, they know what kind of people are there and what is their thinking. If we need to get some kind of training to identify this kind of people, at least we can minimize the attack. Thank you for the opportunity. Host one more call on this topic. Bethesda, maryland. Caller i wanted to tell you this weekend i met with a group of jewish and muslim people who were getting together to help try and resolve some of these issues and the hate that is happening. Like their previous two colors, again, this is not something that you can blame on muslims, because muslims are the ones that are mostly getting killed. Because not all terrorists are muslims. You can woman earlier who was talking about sandy hook and about the situation in North Carolina at the church. My point is when President Trump talked about the people being losers come i think that only stokes the flames, because they are losers they are losers in society and because they are not being accepted or given jobs. People who dont have jobs and are not included in society become desperate. What theresa may said is true, they are cowards and we need to resolve it in that way. But the call them losers just stokes the flame and it is disappointing. Host we will change topics because our first guest is tom coburn. He wants to discuss his effort to give more power to the state by letting
