Ted cruz was at the ready with patrolling what he deems muslim neighborhood casting a wide net where Civil Liberties go to die like dolphins in tuna traps. Rhetoric and threats dont come close to solving the structural riddle that taunts both parties and all side. But liberty, economic and civil, even free will are in desperately hotter supply. Instead of worrying about he can porting our greatest natural rights and resources, lets logically look at how to preserve ours here now instead of have authoritarianism shoved down our gasping throats. A 6yearold is taken from her foster family by the government for shocking reasons. Kimberly guilfoyle breaks down that story. Im glad you packed your bag to join me. Im kennedy. Welcome to tonight. The world is still reeling from the brussels attack and here in america we are trying to figure out how it might affect the 2016 election. Joining us is a former navy seal. And dave smith is here, a comedian and host of part of the problem, and tom shillue is here and hes the host of red eye. Serious very intense times. Craziness is happening in the middle of a president ial elect. Whats the first thing that goes through your mind. You wake up one check in with the news and see we had another one of these terrorist attacks . Its not surprising. Thats the saddest part of the whole thing. Everyone knew it was coming. The threat has been there, the city has been in lockdown since the paris attacks. Well see more of this and you will probably see it in america until we handle this problem. We have to destroy isis where they are in the socalled caliphate in iraq. Kennedy one thing i will say in favor of destroying isis, as a libertarian the most important thing to me is personal freedom and freedom to thrive as human beings. I think those are the natural rights that are godgiven. They really want to destroy freedom in every way possible and it makes me hate them. I share your desire to snuff them into the ground. But i also worry sometimes the Solutions Politicians come up with dont tackle that core problem. I dont know that we figured out how to tackle that central problem of ideology. But it is problematic, some of the things that have been floated by trump and cruz. You cant protect liberty if you dont protect life first. I wish sometimes and you wont get this during a president ial season. I wish we could look at some of the mistakes we made. This war on terror. We we overthrew saddam hussein. We made a lot of mistakes, we should not repeat those. Kennedy we are talking about creating coalitions and armingal lights who can shift into becoming enemies pretty quickly. Its such a postmodern land cape that its hard to know who our friends are. A lot of people criticize the president for a lack of strategy. When you are talking about the election of course cruz and trump will come out. Generally after an attack people stop worrying about Civil Liberties, and they start worrying how can we make ourselves safe . It will help them in the short run certainly with voters. Cruz has to do something with trump who is seen as being the toughest on terrorism. So he came out with this statement about kind of like going into neighborhood and now hes getting slapped back by the new york police chief. Kennedy bill bratton said you dont have to worry about ted cruz because hes not going to be the president. There are unintended consequences from that. Its not as though in the United States and most major cities you have strictly muslim neighborhoods like do you in parts of brussels. I think applying that here can be very problematic as we have seen. I want to ask you obviously, you have seen the worst of it. Who do you think whose running now would be politics aside if you can who would be the best commanderinchief. Thats a tough question. I have got to go with anybody other than Hillary Clinton. I think shell continue the disaster that we have right now. The reason we are in this situation is because of Strategic Decisions made by our current president and i think Hillary Clinton would further that. I think this probably helps donald trump more than anybody. Even though he just those out rhetoric and doesnt put plans out there, people see him as somebody who is going to tell it like it is and is not going to bow to Political Correctness and may get the job done. I thinks probably the best option that i see. Kennedy i know that he said some interesting things about the military, particularly, and in that fox news debate he said he would ask military leaders to perform illegal acts and you by law cant do that. Do you look at someone like that and do you trust that eventually he will come to his senses and couple a cohesive foreign policy. He says a lot of stuff i disagree with certainly. He spouted rhetoric, bush lied, people died. Thats the antiwar left. I vehemently disagree with that. He said we shouldnt worry about killing terrorist family an said ill bring waterboarding back and much worse. Waterboarding is not torture. We used to call it training when they did it to me and hundreds of thousands of u. S. Troops. Kennedy it was training. Then we do it to the worst human beings in the world like Khalid Sheikh mohammed it becomes torture. When we drop a bomb on a house with usama bin laden that kills woman and children who happen to be there, thats just tough. Thats the way it is. It doesnt pay to associate with terrorists. We do an amazing job of trying to eliminate collateral damage. One of the big issues we arent able to defeat isis is we put ludicrous restrictions on our it in that we can go toed war and get the bad guys without collateral damage. There is nothing illegal by the. You try to prevent that from happening. Kennedy we have to go because we are tighter than a kardashian skirt right now. But well come back and we have much more to discuss with this panel. And i will bring handsome jents in. Mike barrack is going to join me about what would really strengthen national security. Mike baker joins me when we come back. Hey america, still not sure whether to stay or go . When its go, the new Choice Privileges gets you there faster. And now, stay two times and you can earn a free night. Book now at choicehotels. Com every day, america prints about half a billion dollars. Wow sadly, a whole bunch of those dollars are used to pay too much for car insurance. Luckily, theres esurance. Born online, raised by technology and majors in efficiency. Which saves dollars. And when they save, you save. So you can tell some of your dollars, good news, gang were going out for ice cream auto and Home Insurance for the modern world. Esurance. Backed by allstate. Click or call. Kennedy president ial candidates pitching themselves as strong on national security. After yesterdays horrific attacks in belgium, trump and cruz take the most hardline position. I would close up our borders until we finds out whats going on. The waterboarding and if we change the laws and have the laws, water boarding will be fine. As president i will utterly destroy isis. Well use overwhelming air power and carpet bomb them into oblivion. Kennedy joining me a member of a Global Intelligence and security. And kfi radio host from los angeles. Welcome, gentlemen. They talk about water board and building walls and patrolling muslim neighborhoods. You say those are not necessarily the best Practical Solutions to thwart a terrorist attack. What is the best plan . It does no good to go into hypotheticals. We are not going to walk the dog back and get into enhanced interrogation techniques. Its not going to happen. We are not going to stop all muslims from coming in here. All that needs to be set aside and focus on ways operationally effective. The unsatisfying answer is we need to do what we are doing and do it in a more efficient and increasingly more effective way. So you have got hard heavy lift of intelligence operations, of developing sources. You have got difficult methodical step by step investigative process. Communications selection. The hard work of dealing with our liaison partners. The difficult slog of trying to take aware the territory in iraq and syria. All these things. On top of that you have got to continue to try to do the Muslim Community outreach. Thats not for touchy, feeley reasons its because its operationally effective. We have to develop communication and trust within the Muslim Community. All those things running concurrently we need to be doing. Kennedy if you talk about pra patrolling neighborhoods, you will be alienating people whose help you need. Iraq and syria, clearly magnets for european muslims more than american muslims to go over and radicalize. What is it about the european muslims that make the middle east more after potential place to fight for them . They dont feel like they have to assimilate. They are told they can continue in whatever cultural milieu they want. There is not a lot of pressure for them to assimilate. When they become teenagers they rebel. Belgium has the highest per capita isis membership of any european nation. Some of these guys are coming home. The bell jumps tracked 85 guys who came back to the molenbeek neighborhood and they dont know where they are. One of the two suicide bombers was detained in turkey and deported back to belgium. This is where the u. S. Has an inherent advantage. Muslims have done well here. They have a good thing going here. Their Median Income is higher than average americans. They know assimilation is a key. Speaking english is the key. Anyone can come here and be an american. I cant move to italy and become italian. I cant move to france and be french. We have that inherent advantage its key to let those Community Know they are part of security. A key part of security. Kennedy is isis directly responsible for these attacks, mike . Muslim extremists are directly responsible for the attacks. That takes the form of the dont know efficient element within the muslim Extremist Community including the islamic state. Under the umbrella of that is boko haram. This is a Large Network of sympathizers and supports and operators that exist within these community in belgium, franls and elsewhere, and isis because they have got that caliphate, they had increasing amounts of success in drawing in new recruits because they can talk about the territory they have got. They have a support structure in place thats been built up over the years in neighborhoods like molenbeek which was just pointed out. Kennedy much more to discuss.

Change the way you experience tv with x1 from xfinity. Kennedy the world is in mourning for the terrorstricken city brussels. Shepard smith is reporting from brussels. Set the stage for me. What are you seeing in brings and what are the people asking of their government today . Shep here we are outside the Stock Exchange which has become the memorial scene and has been for the last 24 hours. The crowds are enormous. You hear them channeling in the background. From the hotel room about of sounds like a soccer match with chants, one side to the other. But the word they are using sometimes in flemish and sometimes in french. Yes to love, no to hate. Its a scene played out in so many corners of the world over recent years where people come together be they light candles and talk about unity and one of the stainls of grief. They are experiencing it in brussels today. They feared and they expected because they understand how difficult the climate is in this city and this region. For today and tomorrow they mourn, then they work to try to begin to fix their problems, kennedy. Kennedy you recently have broken that they identified the bomb make per and there are direct ties to paris. Tell us about that. Shep there are. Najim laachraoui is the man they leased to be the bomb maker from the beginning. Remember the still picture of the three men in the airport. The middle one was brahim elbakraoui, the 29yearold brother of the man who blew himself up in the subway. The guy on the left had not been identified. Now we know that Najim Laachraoui is believed to be the bomb maker. They made a raid in a neighborhood in brussels. They found a lot of sufficient. 33 pound of explosives. 40 gallons of acetone. The bomb makers dna was found in the paris attacks in october on one of the suicide belts. Those suicide belts contained one pound of this explosive. They found 33 pound of that in this bomb making factory. They believe he was the second person who blew himself up in the airport. They are searching for one man, the man on the right wearing the hat in the white jacket. We know according to witnesses at the airport that he separated from the other two men who blew themselves up and he ran off. No one knows where he went. There are no cctv pictures of that. But the pick picture is this is one cell. Both of these brothers had been arrested, one for shooting at a cop, one for trying to carjack someone. One was found with weapons. They were clearly at the center of this. They had been running a bar in brussels. Then they came together and took this plot together. One of the two brothers had been holed up with Salah Abdeslam. It would appear all the members of that have been located dead or accounted for in one way or another. Kennedy its carry to think who else is out there. Obviously if Salah Abdeslam was there in belgium in that neighborhood for four months and he was protected by friend and family by friends and family, who else are they protecting. Where do they go now with the investigation, shep . Shep they wrapped up who all the people are who carried this out, they believe, except for that one man. They are continuing to carry out raid across brussels. They are take a different tactic in notifying the media. They are only giving us details of a raid its wrapped up and they know what they are dealing with. The thinking is other people had to have known. Who are those people, who is protecting them and how do they find them . Over the next couple days, the airport wont reopen until friday and that will only be for cargo. This scene of mourning is the order of the day for the foreseeable future. Kennedy thanks again. Coming up later in the show. Jason joins me on his journey to becoming a libertarian. The panel weighs in to discuss. Kennedy its time to boyne on oddities and tear into red meat. This is the topical storm. Topic number one. Bulldogs are more than beautiful flat faced fart machines. Their serenity is onlyout weighed by their ability to eat their weight in kibble and birthday cake. Look as this pesky frog frolics on his face. He doesnt even care. He just sort of tries to look at it. Maybe hes hoping its not a tarantula. I remember having a similar person not long ago. Watch. There he is. Is he making a tinkle on my leg . Its natures elixir. Topic number 2. There is nothing more exhilarating than leaping into the ocean and feeling the brine wash all over you. Though you should be careful about how waves work. Otherwise this might happen. That make me so happy. There we go, up, up and away. And down to earth. Thank you, isaac newton. Fortunately the young man went out on a boat later that day because you can swan dive as much as you like in the deep, deep ocean without fear of hitting the beach. Of course, there are other concerns. I was just trying to dive. Why cant i get in the water . Topic number 3. Lets continue our theme of wild, wonderful animals. Sea lions on the oregon coast have become pesks to boat and fishermen. The antisea lion lobby has gone so far as to create dancing wind socks to scare the creatures off. Dancing in heaven. The wind socks were made famous here. Im al harrington, president and ceo of the inflatable arm flailing tube warehouse. Kennedy you know what they really needed . This guy. [ ] whether its west side rentals or a stereo stop, i love that guy when im driving down sepulveda boulevard. You know what would be super cool . A dog riding a moped wearing glasses. Wait, wait, im getting a message from the control room. Apparently we have it. The dog is driving a moped. Hes steering with his tiny pause. You can tell the owner of the moped is hang on to the canine driver. There are a few things you should consider before you snap into judgment. First, this is in indonesia and drivers in indonesia are terrible its possible a golden read refer to is a safer bet than a cab driver. Second, what if the man on the moped is blind. Its just a seeing eye dog trained to use the moped which makes perfect sense. April fools day is coming up. Its right around the corner. Do you have know what would be a great prank . Getting your hand on a dinosaur and having it chase unwitting bystanders in a parking garage like these two jokers did. Oh, god. She is going to freak out. Oh, god. Hes going to freak out. That was the religion wanted to show that. It would be horrifying. I dont even like lizard. One time a gecko bit me and i tried to set the zoo on fire. Its not about control. Its the relationship. Based on respect. Was that cg . Technology is really incredible nowadays.
