These terrorist attacks. Mr. Lamberts planned in cold blood. We all stand by the victims and their families and loved ones. But how can we not be alarmed by the way these tngs can go on in the midst of normal life . And how can we not be outraged given that much has been planned for years. That these terrorists were allowed to move freely, how can we not feel scamized by the fact that our countries are continuing to trade with middle Eastern Countries promoting the most violent and extremist forms of islam . Surely we have to ask ourselves, whats been going on in our society, which has promoted hate speech and people condoning violence . He ideology of exclusion and reduction of society to mere production and consumption. If we respond by setting up police states, constantly monitoring our slightest moves, and stigmatizing our fellow more, adopting rhetoric of warfare, dividing the world between them and us, if we do all of that then the terrorists will have won. On the contrary, the best response we can give them is to reflect the mottos of belgium and europe. Unity in diversity gives you strength. Lets pool our strength in an intelligent way, to fight the mill tarrist project and lets ensure that at the heart of our projects we restore human dignity. Lastly, with your indulgence,. President , i would like to briefly. Excuse nothing. Forget nothing. Resist try and understand. Because otherwise you will maintain evil. You cant fight shadows with shadows. You cant fight hatred with hatred. Eye for an eye will lead to a whole planet being blind. We have 130 reasons to fight, we have another 32 reasons after what happened in brussels to believe in this cause and to wage it. Thank you. I have a question from someone. I had overlooked it. I hope that we can still have time for it. Madam. Yes. I seem to gather from what you were saying that you were acknowledging some sort of miracle before the attacks. Are you saying that its our fault that theyre killing us . [applause] first of all, let us not forget that terrorism promotes certain ideas and what i was saying, isis and other extremist islamist bodies have had support from the western countries, big countries, both economically, strategically and politically. And even today there are countries which are our allies, saudi arabia and turkey, they are also providing support and the European Union is also involved in this. The path to lder blame. Thank you very much. The fundamentally new principle of freedom movement, people, services or goods, may well have been well intentioned but it can only remain so if his reactive and updated ideally integrating and responding to both ex tefrpbl and internal threats and pressures. Ms. James its fund mental weak its fundamental weaknesses lie in an outdated processes required to address what are now fastmoving events, not merely on the european con nent, but also on a global scale continent but also on a global scale. But more fundamentally on the detection that it enjoys in the face of fundamental threats to Civic Society and citizens. Trying to connect 28 Member States, cultures and processes at a time of crisis, the e. U. Sun able to anticipate events is unable to anticipate events or be able to react at adequate speed to these events. This is not an approach capable of countering or indeed beating terrorism. When there is a threat, its important to think like the adversary. Not on mindless dialogue and consultation with the objective of protecting a sacred cow. The United Nations endured some 30 years of conflict and terrorist activities before a resolution in Northern Ireland was found. The u. K. Has much to offer the european and International Community on how to counter terrorism. Not least, money laundering, a key element in terrorist funding. And financing. But in contrast, the e. U. Seems purely focused on unified Border Control and Central Intelligence agency. But these so far have been total failures. Critical weaknesses only serving to facilitate the recent terrorist atrocities. Now, again, the United Nations has led the way in United Kingdom has led the way in combating international ounterterrorist efforts. And the u. K. Will maintain those responsibilities, e. U. Member or not. In contrast, the e. U. Reaction to the migrant crisis has been unhelpful in extreme and its reactions unhelpful and just like those of a rabbit in the headlights. The e. U. Has Border Control front text which consumes several hundred millions of euros but is nonoperational and little more than a Data Collection and analysis agency. Reports and stats, fine. Coordination nate the activities of Member States coordinate the activities of Member States and Border Control, according to its charter. But it has no Operational Capability and it has to rely on nato, individual Member States, and other Operational Forces to do anything useful. Indeed, weve got a basic conflict of interest here. In that the e. U. Mantra is open borders with no control. The e. U. Properly never imagined that its open border mantra would encourage the movement of criminals, terrorists and weapons. The result has been that a number of countries have had to take unilateral action to defend their borders and actually as a result breaking their treaty obligations. But just look at a thing set up as a fledgling european intelligence agency. Yet another failure. Doing little more than gathering data. The collection of data such as fingerprints, mentioned already by others, at the borders within european has been a isastrous example, only 17 of migrants at key points of entry have been fingerprinted. And to make matters worse, even if their fingerprints have been taken, no one within Member States has been allowed to share that data. There could be no greater gift to terrorism than being invisible and untraceable, yet this is what the European Union approach facilitates. Eve talked about p. N. R. There are issues about privacy and human rights and i do wonder, having been criticized of frontier ts europe, are we not actually building that . Too many in this parliament, the response is, we need more europe and we heard that this afternoon. Would anyone pour more money into an approach and infrastructures that are broken , illconceived and ineeffective . But they can be addressed, just not by doing more of the same. That is the definition of an idiot. It could well be argued that the e. U. Should stick to matters that can usefully address and do well, but stay out of matters where it does not have the experience or capability. General michael hayden, ex head of n. S. A. In the u. S. , said, security is a national issue. Now, its time the e. U. And the parliament opened its eyes to whats going on. Play i maam, please conclude. Ms. James just bear in mind that the future is and should be recognized, Bilateral Agreements based on good Data Exchange, trusted Data Exchange and experience is the way forward. Not trying to make 28 Member States do one thing. Thank you very much. Ow for the [inaudible] mr. President , my sympathy goes to the victims of the recent attacks in brussels. Mr. De graff and its incredibly bitter and poignant that those attacks could have been avoided. National borders should have been closed long before. Because these islamist heroes were traveling freely between the netherlands and belgium. And of course creating these ghettos, theyve become heroes there as martyrs. I think everyone who has let led that to happen led that to happen shares the blame. Whether theyre members of this parliament or the commission or the member state governments who plea for opening the doors. Opening the frontiers. And then and then people die as a result. How hypocritical was this, remembering the victims, grieving for the victims, when a part of this parliament itself cleared its conditions and creates conditions for. Ose attacks and other it cannot be integrated into our western cultures. To you and to the commission, recognize the folly and recognize weve got to change tack because the way to go is closing the national borders. Its stopping Mass Immigration and stopping islam nits tracks. Thank you very much. Islam in its tracks. Thank you very much. This type of terrorism . Its crazy listening to you saying that all muslims are terrorists. I think you need to reread your history books. Its war that is causing these people to flee. Please be reasonable. [applause] yes. I think were seeing denial here. Permanent denial of the situation in belgium. In other neighborhoods of brussels as well. There were people dancing in the streets when the attacks took place. Again and again we have these tupid questions. [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. Visit ncicap. Org] [captions Copyright National cable satellite corp. 2016] this month we showcase our student cam winners. See pans annual have documentary competition for middle and high school students. This years theme is road to the white house. And students were asked, what issues do you want president ial candidates to discuss . One of our second Prize Middle School winners are from scranton, pennsylvania. Heo and abbey, agent graders eighth graders want president ial candidates to discuss immigration. Hi. Were currently standing in time square which is also known as the cross roads of the world. Many immigrants have passed through here, not only went on to build time square, but also our entire nation. Although we know this is a complex problem, we need to come up with a plan to resolve the current immigration issues. Regardless of the financial and possible security risks, we believe all immigrants should have the opportunity to reach or the american dream. What is the greatest benefit that immigrants contributed to scranton . As i said earlier, the best benefit i think is that we learn about their culture. Their ways, the way they dress, the foods they eat. So it makes us better people. On a national level, what are your views about current immigration policies for immigrants coming to the United States of america . Again, we should never, never roll up the welcome mat here to america. This is how this country was founded. The founded on hope that people can come here and have a better life, a better opportunity. As we began our research about immigration issues, it became clear to us that the problems surrounding immigration were complicated. It also became clear that most politicians in washington agree on the following point. There are problem areas regarding immigration matters that need to be addressed. That means we have to finally, once and for all, fix our immigration system. This is a family issue. Its an economic issue too. But it is at heart a family issue. And if we claim that we are for families, we have to pull together and resolve the outstanding issues around our broken immigration system. Chicagoans have been waiting for the congress to act and take action for over a decade. Polish, ukrainian, irish and mexican have been waiting. Gentleman make ans and filipinos, theyve been waiting for family members to get visas and backlogs that stretch to 20 years. Because congress refuses to act. Fix the broken immigration system. Both the illegal side and the legal side are broke. As all of you know, we have 11 Million People in this country who are undocumented. 99 of whom came to this country to improve their lives. To escape oppression. To flee desperate poverty and violence. If you have immigration immigration is complicated, emotional and raises many questions. For example, what should be done with illegal immigrant parents of children who are also legal . How can you tell if someone s here legally or illegally . Inaudible] people might enter the country to do us harm. Jeb bush with mexico said people come in, they come in, its an act of love. Ok . Its not an act of love. We need a wall. We need a wall. You see whats happening with illegal immigration. In all fairness, if it werent for me, they wouldnt even be talking about illegal immigration. Its very important that we enforce our immigration laws. That we encourage people to come here legally. To come through the vetting process, the inspection process. We want immigrants to come to america for that life. Thats what america is. A beacon of hope. However, when we allow people o knowingly break our laws, to evade inspection, to bypass any type of medical screening, to live here in america and depress the wages of american workers, which we know for a fact illegal immigration depresses the wages for erican workers, we also know unfortunately that there are people around the world that want to do us harm. That hate our way of life. That want to come here and steal that way of life from us through terrorism. [inaudible] we cant imagine our lifes without the values they ontribute. The haws has to keep our doors open to immigrants while also keep our country safe. [inaudible] we need to Work Together to figure it out. It must be done. The American People support comprehensive immigration reform. Not just because its the right thing to do, and it is, but because they know it strengthens families, strengthens our economy, and strengthens our country. This is what makes america exceptional. That we welcome strivers, we welcome dreamers, from all around the world. And it keeps us young and it keeps us invigorated and it keeps us striving. Anding the boundaries of and pushing the boundaries of whats possible. And then we all bind our siffs together around similar ideal ourselves together around similar ideals. A similar crede. And one generation in, suddenly those kids are already americans. Like everybody elts. How is immigration important to the building of america . I think the best way i can answer that question was that in 1954, days after ellis island, they made the announcement that it was closing down, that an editorial appeared in the new york times, ill share part of it with you. In that editorial it said, immigrants have given to the United States artists, actors, doctors, writers, farmers, philosophers. Immigrants have given this nation its teachers. Immigrants and their descendents today erect our nations laws. Perhaps someday a monument that celebrates immigrants will rise upon and island called ellis. And were standing in front of the statue of liberty which was and still is a symbol for hope and freedom for immigrants coming to america. We feel the 2016 president ial candidates should discuss immigration issues. So we believe whoever is elected should make immigration issues one of their top priorities.

The hill is reporting that hollywoods power brokers are almost exclusively siding with Hillary Clinton. Studio players, big money agents and alisters like orge clooney and Jeffrey Katzenberg are backing the democratic frontrunner. The story says Bernie Sanders does have star power but its more on the margeness with left wing celebrities like Susan Sarandon or younger actors such as ezra miller. On cspans washington journal, we talked about the blurred lines between politician and politics and entertainment. Continues. Host up next, we are going to go to our spotlight on magazines segment we do every wednesday. Today, we are talking to mark warren, the executive editor at esquire magazine, about a piece in the latest issue called the inevitable takeover of pop politics. Thank you for joining us. Guest thank you for having me. Good morning. Host thank you for joining us from new york. This piece is talking about pop politics. What are pop politics and why did you think this was an important issue to explore in the magazine . Guest the rules of the political universe this year have been suspended. Producing some of the worst president ial punditry that weve ever seen. Lastingaw donald trump as long as he has. No one saw Bernie Sanders coming at all. To the fact that pundits have been using the old rules or playing by a different understanding of the political landscape. Somehow, 2016 has been the coleman nation of a process that has been long in the works of the insinuation of celebrity culture into political culture. Culmination of a process. The line between those things is gone. We are seeing cheaply through the avatar of donald trump chiefly through the avatar of Donald Trumps years of celebrity in the political world. Host politics has always had parliaments of entertainment and entertainment has always had a political dimension. Means . Lain what that guest theyve always drawn from each other. Kennedyhe power of john , the hollywood glamour of the reagans. Governor clinton playing a saxophone on arsenio hall. We have these political figures trended humanize themselves trying to humanize themselves by making us laugh, disarming us and making us think better of them. That is not new, exactly. Weve seen element of that this year as well. Larrdavid making a more perfect Bernie Sanders on snl, Hillary Clinton making fun of herself also on snl. Taperuz and his audition for the simpsons. The degree to which we are seeing it is perhaps new. Pernicious and a bit , this very famous person that a lot of voters have known their entire adult lives or entire lives, sometimes, testing the value of his fame, his raw fame in the mark the political marketplace. 2 billion worth of free Media Attention based upon that fame. Seencome it we have n
