Sources for some of the things they said and it turns out the source is themselves. >> laura: so there is ilhan omar, and he is upset. she is upset because of this idea that we should be able to check emigrants, and people coming aboard, their social media to find out what their intent is, or may be to get some idea of what they want them to do once they come here. this is what she said. make no mistake, this is fascism and action. the trump administration weaponized that by denying entry. why s...

Institutions that knowingly do business with terrorists. the trump administration has already used existing sanctions and authorities more aggressively than any administration before us and now who are immediately putting these new authorities to good use as secretary mnuchin said. today the department of state announces the designation of 12 terrorist leaders isis wall lead of iraq and former mayor of improvised explosive devices, four senior members of hezbollah and leaders from hamas, palesti...

Domestic extremists killed at least 50 people in the last year. that does not count what happened in el paso. and a lot of people are making the point, you hear it a lot, right, if there were isis, if there were isis, we would view it as an existential threat. right? i mean, after al qaeda terrorists killed 3,000 americans, we made complete changes into the nature of the american state and how we live our lives. 18 years after a guy tried to light his shoe on fire, right? we still take our shoes...

Potentially congress when they come back into session will look at sanctions against china if they act more aggressively, but trump is on a different page. hes never been a champion for democracy. including here at home. and we know that he is focused on ad concessions from china. >> you mentioned sanctions. the trump administration hasnt been afraid to sanction iran. gibr gibralar, whats going on there? >> this is a swiss cheese syndro syndrome. eu-level sanctions dont mirror u.s. domestic law....

Labeling u.s. central command a terrorist entity. so you can see how quickly these things escalate. >> everybody knew there was some sense if that happened, they would do so and this is how this would turn out. i want to put that map back up and give us a quick explanation, bill, about iran and saudi arabia being rivals in the region for the hearts and minds of muslims. we think of them as adversaries, one of them as sunni and shia, but its more complicated than that. both of them would like to ...

Militias nominally answer to iraqs prime minister but actually answer to iran. iranian officials have been meeting with u.s. officials to try to clarify what this intelligence is thats been driving this and trying to deescalate tensions. and there is the possibility iraqi officials say that this could be faulty intelligence and you only have to remember back to 2003 to see where faulty u.s. intelligence gets iran. and to that end, "the wall street journal" is reporting that the two sides may sim...

And most of them are shia, some of them directly funded and armed by iran. its reported that a couple of weeks ago, the leader of irans al qods force briefed those militias to be ready for anything, to prepare for any kind of conflict. but this was after the u.s. designated that revolutionary guard a terrorist entity and after iran designated the u.s. central command a terrorist entity. so weve got both sides issuing threats and therefore, both sides on alert and in the middle, youve got iraqi o...

Is this something that changes year after year wholly or do we see the nypd responding to threats that theyve seen over the course of the year? >> effectively, what you have is a constant evolution of trying to prevent terrorist attacks. so, for example, in 2014 with the emergence of isis as a terrorist entity and caliphate for a short period of time in syria. my time as commissioner we significantly enhance what my commissioner kelly has put together in terms of counterterrorism capability afte...

Like saudi arabia and our friends in the gulf. and so we do worry about how to effectively maneuver pakistan out of support for the rebls or the taliban in afghanistan. and so far no administration has figured out how to do this. >> so is the president right when he says were losing the war in afghanistan? and if he is right, what does winning look like? >> well, i think were basically in there for intelligence purposes to prevent the emergence of ungoverned spaces in which a new terrorist entit...

>> i would think, sean, it would on be if there were some time of imminent threat to the united states of america. a direct tie or close tie to a terrorist organization, terrorist entity, someone with known connections to terror. maybe under those circumstances. but i got off the phone with two former cia officials right before i came on with you. both of them, they dont even know each other. but both of them said that her comment that, well, when i see something interesting, basically i ask for...
