Thank you for joining us, i am trey gowdy and it is Sunday Night In America. Israel is moving into rafah despite threats from the Biden Administration. Attempts by hamas to negotiate and deployed the israeli defensive. Hamas still holds hostages, soau that Group A Series of ceasefire leasing hostages might be a good first step yourd domain well, College Campusesc remain chaotic crime scenes. Cr that does not involve the squad. Per usual they side witha the criminals and not the cops. From gwu and everywhere elseh students have been vitallysted beaten without provocation. They have been arrested and charged with disproportionate offenses appear they have been wrongfully smeared as antisemitic. This is an explicit attack to repress students exercising their First Amendment rights tot protest their universitiesther complacently, complicit actions, on behalf of Israeli Government of palestinians trey the squad remains a Little Out Of Step with President Biden, but honestly, he can be hard
you? the attacker appears to be an anomaly from this sense. we know that they re saying police right now are skeptical this is an islamist terrorist. but they re not saying he wasn t an adherent to a political ideolo ideology. terrorism is you re conducting violence in pursuit of social or political goals. let s walk down what happened. 14 july, 2014, 86 kills, one attacker. 19 december, 2016, in berlin, 12 killed, one attacker. 3 june of 2017, the london bridge attack. you and i sat here and talked about it that night. eight kills and three attackers. 31 october, 2017, right around the corner from us, west side highway attack, eight dead. what is different about this attack that gives us pause is this fact. most of the time, the folks i have talked to that talk about islamist terrorists, if they re going to conduct their terror attack, the martyrdom comes from giving their life in the pursuit. so if they use a bomb, they die
enforcement are going to want to determine and see if they re actually inspiring other people as well. it s a herculean effort to look at that, but they ll look at everything in his orbit, his contacts, his associates, his communications, mediums in order to determine, because as you mentioned, this isn t the first time we have seen these types of snenlss. as we look to the middle east, we have talked a lot about isis in recent years. as they are crushed, there will be fighters returning home that are going back. so just because we re taking land away from them doesn t mean we re taking away that ideology. it very much remains a threat. as you point out, it doesn t look like this has any tie to islamic terrorism or radical islamist terrorism, according to officials in their latest press conference, but james, back to the fact this is a tactic we have seen used by other terrorists in the past, using a vehicle to create chaos, to create death and injury, what do law enforcement officia
going to have to look in the west at possibly doing a better job of separating pedestrian thoroughfares from traffic. terror climate in europe. we have talked a lot about this over the past few years, josh. what more can you tell us about what s happening in that realm in this part of germany? well, i think it s important to first say, as we mentioned throughout our reporting today, that we re not yet clear whether this was terrorism. i think it s too early. obviously, that s something that investigators are going to look into for the reasons that were mentioned earlier. it looks like it is question blg when compared to other attacks but the climate is such where we have seen these types of incidents in the past. when you look at individuals and back at some of the recent instances of terrorism, individuals are either inspired or sometimes directed by those who are overseas. that s why it s going to be very important to fully identify this person, to determine it. if it is terroris
america s longest war in afghanistan and, of course, when you look at that at the 30,000 foot level it connects to the very real issues that are happening right now with terrorism. the president tweeting today in sort of different, three different installments that give us a sense of what he s thinking. homeland security and law enforcement on alert and watching for any sign of trouble he writes. oour borders are far tougher than ever before. that is sort of the tone of reassurance for the president trying to suggest that the police and law enforcement posture is high here. then a political one where he uses his term, the obstructionist democrats make security for our country very difficult. they use courts and associated delays at all time must stop. the final one we ve seen in just the last several minutes. radical islamist terrorism must be stopped by whatever means necessary. the courts must give us back our protective rights. reference to the travel ban that has been so mired in t
