Another 122 people injured. And have been killed at the school. The search continues for the remaining gunmen. At random. Shooting a journalist at seen heard gunfire from the school. Carriedof ambulances to hospitals. Do isis threats worry you . David jackson is joining us. He is the White House Correspondent for usa today. Since the attacks, what have you heard from the administration . Guest it was concerning. They have talked about the threat from lone wolves, people who are not part of a terrorist group, but believe in the jihad and some of these goals. There is fear that someone might walk into a coffee shop and take hostages and start shooting people. Host when it comes to the cia and others, what can we do with these lone wolf attacks . I suspect they can look over their procedures and talk to local businesses about procedures. This country has been warned or asked to make sure they maintain security in their establishments. Will look at some of the security procedures. This goes to the larger issue of what the president was talking about. [video clip] fighters,e taking out commanders, vehicles and tanks. The infrastructure that funds , we are taking them out. It is because of the work you do. We are cutting the command and control and making it harder for them to maneuver. Forcesorces have held and pushed back isil in some places. Because of you, we have blocked the momentum and put them on the defensive. They are learning the same thing the leaders of al qaeda have learned the hard way. They may think they can chalk up quake victories, but our reach is long and we do not give up. The worldnd you and is going to leave you behind and keep moving on without you. We will get you. Host the president. Many are referring to this as a whack a mole. You deal with one area like afghanistan and then it pops up in other parts of the world. Struck by his comments yesterday. He is pushing back against some of those that you just referenced. We are hurting their ability to reach out beyond the borders. Administration, there have not been major attacks since 9 11. They declared that a success. We remember the airplane bomber, the underwear bomber that took place during the christmas holiday. We live in a different error. How do we prepare for that . Guest technically, the president is never on vacation. His first year in option in office, there was a near terrorist attack over detroit. Notas criticized for responding to that for a couple of days. He will be on top of it, should something happen. Host david jackson, White House Correspondent. Guest thank you. Some of the scenes outside the coffee shop in downtown sydney. We want to ask you about isis Terror Threats. Do they worry you . Caller they worry me because we his own words. Se it is a disgusting video of four americans who died. What difference does it make . We will enforce the border by moving guns to mexico and everything else. We will make a world apology tour. I lose track. It is a joke. He is supposed to be the world leader. Nobody respects us. Nobody fears us. If i was a terrorist, i would say this is the best ally we can have and i hope you could run for a third term and we can get othery or one of these progressives elected so they could be on our side. Host thank you for the call. About 16 hours after the siege, three dead, including the iranian refugee and two chocolateof the lindt coffee shop. One viewer saying the war on terror has not made us more safe. The are caller discussion is limited. You do a great service, but all you are talking about is the major headlines, the major party views, how much war and how to conduct it. President obama said about , you cannot get anywhere through violence. You have to have peaceful protest. Hell send troops everywhere in the world. This content is destroying any piece and it is coming back here and is trying our peace and joy. Host thank you for the call. Time magazine reporting on the attack. Here is the headline. Sis casting a shadow connected or not . A long way from 9 11. Isis has defined itself by not being al qaeda. Proven,le as they have that is what a fighting force does in a war. The war isis is fighting is located in the middle east. It is to establish its vision of islam. Next caller comes from nantucket, massachusetts. Welcome to the program. Thank you for cspan. It is a wonderful program. I want to make a comment on the person that called from tennessee. Tennessee is the leading welfare state in the country. He should increase his medication and stop listening to the crazy people on the radio. Have anyn we do not respect in this country is because we get rigid because he gets ridiculed as president. He is the president of our country. They are trying to make him look like a full. Thank you for your program. Host Fred Applegate has this point. The actions of our own government are more of a threat than isis. If anyone hassays not noticed, we are in a new age, terrorwise. Get your gun permit, learn how to shoot, and protect yourself and your family. Democrats line, boston, good morning. Caller the gentleman who remarked on the caller from tennessee, he just took all of the words for me. I agree. I am worried about isis and other terrorist attacks, but what we need to do is stop listening to people like dick cheney, whose definition of terror is from the Twilight Zone and also we have to stop Islamic Religious officials to step forward and start defining more clearly what islam is. A religion of peace, it needs to be stated that way. If you do not have the people getting these false ideas of what the religion is about. Host thank you for the call. One viewer says no, the Defense Department gets too much money for me to worry. The headline we want to share, from pakistan, this is from the telegraph. 126 hostages feared dead, including over 100 schoolchildren. We will follow that throughout the morning. Boulder, colorado, democrats line. Isis and am afraid of all of the radical islamic groups. Felt, for the past couple of years that the world should ban islam the same way it banned shinto buddhism and not theism azism. N they should take all of the countries, all of their oil, and hold all of it. To kill us. Ng they will get their hands on Nuclear Weapons and they will destroy the world. Facing what we faced in pre, we are facing it now. Im afraid for my children, i am afraid for everybody. Take the entire religion of islam seriously. It should be banned. I equate it to it realistic to ban a religion . We banned not seize nazis. Before. T we did it with shinto buddhism. It is going to be done sooner or later. The first time a Nuclear Weapon goes off in paris or the United States, you watch, the world will turn against the muslim religion is not a peaceful religion. It is nonsense. Host thank you for the call. More details on the shooting in sydney, australia. Australia siege tests its ties with muslims. The siege came at a time of growing tensions.

My next call is fred, reynoldsburg, ohio. Good morning. Good morning. The point i am making, for your listeners, the culture of hatred the teachings in many of the mosques and by people whose teaching of power people. E destruction of muslims have killed 7. 5 million other muslims. They have killed over 3 million christians. We do not come to the realization. We have allowed it to fester. The only democratic country, one of the few Success Stories of , the violence receives so much attention and pressure from the United States. Defends are dying to religious freedom. The Palestinian Authority and arafat has written about it. Their goal is to establish a caliphate in jerusalem. That is why they want jerusalem. They forbid jews to live in jerusalem. We support it and now europe and the European Union officially no jews allowed and a hate culture. You can read that the textbooks and see in the map of their politicians, it does not exist.

Verall it shows no signs of using efforts. Next, a caller from new haven, connecticut. Dickam not afraid of isis, cheney says he does not care, i am more afraid of being guy from. Ennsylvania that is more problematic than terrorists. Any nutcase with a gun to go shoot up any school or any Movie Theater and do anything. That is my concern.

Like muslims have radicals that do crazy things, like mom world trade centers, does not mean that the christians do not have radicals, that jewish people do not have radicals. Radicals in every religion. It does not mean the whole religion is bad. It is sad. It is antiamerican. We are supposed to be the melting pot. What happened to those times . It is disturbing.
