Anyway, we need to be much more increasing our protection of our American People, increasing our defense. Joe, let me ask you this. E focused a lot on terrorist attacks, but attacks like this targets where d someone used a truck. This wasnt using firearms or explosives, although there were reportedly both firearms and truck. Ves inside this do you think its possible to protect against this type of attack . Caller yes, were going to have to. To increase our weve got to do a better ob of, you know, going after do these ople that things and prevent them. An ounce of provention is worth cure. D of we need to do a better job screening these things. I understand the person that did a criminal and had a criminal record. He should not even have been on so we need to do a better job and i think donald trump will do that and thats strongly reasons im for donald trump. Host okay. In todays wall street journal, an analysis about how to wider variety a of terror attacks as we saw last night. T says u. S. Government has launched thousands of air facilities, l redeployed its military, moved satellites, intercepted phone money transfers and made dozens of arrests in a state. Thwart the islamic group, e after time, the its affiliates and sympathizers global ring fence launching spectacular attacks of have killed hundreds people in europe and the United States. Exploited weakas or nonexistent governments in to a, iraq, and libya fortify, recruit and plan attacks. Hammered soft targets full of crowded people. An airport. A concert hall. Nightclub and now after last ight, a group of revellers gathered right along the Mediterranean Sea to watch for bastille day. Up next on democrats line we calling in from maryland. Good morning. Caller good morning. Call. You for taking my listen, that last guy and people like him, what youre reading is not the ary answer. I dont care where you look on this planet, only thing people is justice. Or thats all theyre asking for. If there was justice in this country, we would not have the weve got here now. If there was justice in the middle east when george bush and attacked e iraq and did what he did to the people over there, if there was with that, isil might not be here. Host let me ask you this, for soft target attacks like this by people who, directed by isis directly or inspired by the they hear that online, are you worried about here int target attacks the United States . Caller when we take a look at ho america killing, theyre killing soft targets. When george bush attacked that country, who did he kill soft targets . When they attacked libya, who did they kill . Soft targets. Miss, play the game fairly here. If this man was wrong, he mentally ill or very highly upset about omething because he probably could not get no egress for his hing about him or family or tired of lying politicians who talk out of both make of their mouth who the victim the culprit. This is going on so many years a shame American People have not woke up to understand that youre not going to get and ere by more killing more killing and more killing. People need to be addressed. Eoples problems need to be addressed. Jobs need to be brought in here. Negotiations need to be talked about. They talked about negotiations one side and droning people on the other side, bringing in and that poor country over there have not had anything done other than Just Lip Service and giving them more weapons. George bush, just like theyre with tony gland blair. George bush was done the same way. Host that was john from maryland. Next, we have david calling in on carbondale pennsylvania the republican line. Caller good morning. For an Honest Network actually giving you good news and so forth. Start, butw where to ill just say that Hillary Clinton destabilized the middle east something terrible. She got herself messed up after benghazi. Lying oh, i can go on and on. But this president is open arms, we dont know where theyre coming from, what theyre going to do. We cant be kissing the ducks. Weve got to get serious. Host let me ask you this. Attacks thatterror have happened on u. S. Soil have been carried out by folks who citizens or erican american nationals. Werent recent immigrants. How do you propose officials homegrown t against terrorism . Caller homegrown terrorism is of hard to take care because theres so many separate over the place. You cant guard against the takenet, because then they away your rights by invading the internet and telling what you to o, where you can go and what you can say. Thats whats great about the United States. Were free. Well, temporarily free. I dont know how long thats going to last. But everything is being taken fr away from us. Theres no way. How can you stop people like that . I dont know what to say. I dont have the answer. Im very disgusted. I dont even want to vote anymore, im so disgusted with the system. Ost we are in the middle of a president ial election and donald trump was scheduled to announce at 11 00. G mate he has postponed those plans in in eet last night, he said, light of the horrible attack in nice, france, ive proposed conference ews concerning my Vice President ial announcement. Thats been reported widely indiana governor ike pence as his president ial running mate. Donald trump announced this morning that another announcement will be made today about the formal introduction of governor pence as Donald Trumps running mate, we continue our discussion bout the attack yesterday in france. Dozens of People Killed as they bastille day. From e danny calling in clover, south carolina. Good morning. Caller yes, good morning. Thanks for cspan. You know, the french revolution happened many years ago, what do you the call it, the thing they cut their heads off with. Guilatine. Caller exactly. And they cleaned house. Need to rise ple up and discourage the french leader who have allowed this situation, with all these people who came into france with no to assimilate into the culture, and this is the result of that. You a similar k question i asked another caller. In the United States, when weve een some of these attacks, there were people who worked with these people. Either born here or lived here a long period of time assimilated. Do you think its getting harder to find people . Aller they have not assimilated. They have not assimilated. They have not adopted the people culture. They are simply in fact, the forbids them to assimilate. So if they take their religion seria seriously, they do not assimilate. Point. The whole their whole philosophy is move into other countries, increase where mbers to the point you can take over that country. Philosophy. R whole host okay, up next, we have rochester, ng from new york, on our independent line. Good morning, carol. Morning. Ood one thing i would like to see is more human intelligence develop citizen or u. S. National goes overseas to one of hese isis Training Camps or whatever that, you know, steps should be taken to make sure that they dont come back. They have an unfortunate accident or Something Like that, but to let citizens go over there, just and come back, is crazy in my estimation. And another thing is id like to more heat put on the say im not going to saudi arabia, but its the house all these t finance religious extremists, for more error, but they seem to get a free ride. Host carol, are you concerned to t how difficult it is combat these soft target like shopping malls or other places that are we have heavy security at airports. These other host having security at totally or theater are reactionary. But i guess you cant protect like t the soft targets the shopping malls and stuff like that, but im not going to live my life in fear. When my number is up, its up, ut im not going to stay home and cower because im afraid somebody is going to drive a a ck into a crowd or at sporting event, you know, im just not going to live like that. Host okay, all right, a little nbc news about the and brodie ean copeland, who are reportedly among those who died in the attack. They live just outside austin in lakeway, texas, according to nbc news. A statement from the family says we are heartbroken and in shock loss of brodie friend and amazing brother who lit up our lives and sean, the father, the news has been reported in austin paper said brodie played youth baseball and his father was a coach. Emily calling e in from greenbray, california, on our republican line. Emily. Rning, caller good morning. You. Nice to hear i would like to make two points, and the first one is, i would entire world e warn us with an alarm at all all areas of in entertainment, and therefore, we if theres something in ng, and also, i think we the United States and the police department, we cover a perimeter, and thats how we the killer inatch dallas. So i would make those suggestions. I think there are reasons why we have black lives we did was,use what nder president clinton, we increased 500 percent for the prison, someoing to of them for lights, no lights on that rs, some things should never have happened. Host emily, let me ask you a attacks, about these and you were talking about the warning systems. That police, local officials, need more resources these ble to respond to types of soft target attacks, i sorry, in aris im the nice attack, the first esponders clearly were local officials once this happened. Would you like to see more resources to local officials . Yes, definitely id like to see them have military weapons and id like to see them stop a truck if they ecide in france not to put up arricades, a truck, you know, can get through and instead, how miles that man traveled at a very fast speed and he had to e toys and things just camouflage what he really had in mind, that he was innocent, in just give me a second to get back to Hillary Clinton. I dont believe she has helped country and i believe that we should be very careful ecause weve got the financial crisis under the clintons. Weve got so many other things i hope that , and the American People take this in mind. Maybe we need change. Maybe we need republicans. Host thats emily calling in from california, a little bit about the attack last night rom todays New York Times which says that french officials quickly concluded that the this attack was terrorism as the scope of the of a ter grew clear, use large commercial truck as the principal weapon of death raised how to tions about prevent such attacks. The officials warned residents and canceled all further scheduled festivities, ncluding a fiveday jazz festival and a concert on friday rihana. The singer we are getting a reaction to terror attack. We have david calling in from oakland, california, on our independent line. Morning, david. Caller good morning. I just think people have to get a serious where dialogue has to be had as to what were willing to do in the what were not willing to do. I hear people talking about arack obama taking out all the troops out of iraq, but i dont hear them realizing how many have been saved by him taking them out when he did. Were able to decide that when Saddam Hussein shows up or any of these other tyrants in the world, were able to say you know what, thats your were not going to be involved. Problem. Own host well, david, given that, do you think its even possible to prevent attacks like this who is of caller definitely not and the back to on i was going having the truth pulled out of iraq is the fact that decisions to be made in this world. I dont think anybody expected have been pulled out. F iraq when it pulled but the reality that the and can people spent money blood, you know, trying to build iraq. Military of for years after the war was spent all this money and blood, at some point, we have to be able to say we ave helped you, well continue to facilitate what you need. But you have to be willing to self. Your own host okay. Up next, we have gary calling in from bowie, maryland. Good morning, gary. Caller hi, good morning. Listen, i dont know what the lady was talking about arlier regarding the hillary being bad for the country and the mention of deficit. I dont even understand that she didnt even know that when the office, there n was a surplus. Furthermore, this benghazi thing is so old. People need to factcheck what theyre talking about. Host let me ask you a little it about your reaction to last nights attack and terror. Or you concerned with either both president ial candidates in terms of what theyve said about terror so to fight far . Caller no, actually, i think clintons would be the trust here, that they would definitely know what to do in terms of protecting our country. There before, especially bill clinton. He knows how to deal with the borders. Ross the and furthermore, hes able to another te with country. Thats very important. Keep that in mind, that you have door to be able to communicate with these countries, especially allies, get things done across the water. But if you have a president such the donald trump, which entire world basically despises, are you ever ld going to go over there to another country and talk Terms Conditions on what should be done to secure our borders or safety of the the people. People got to wake up. Answer, and the they are very, very forceful in trophying people think he is the answer. Host that was gary calling in from maryland. Today aid, donald trump postponed in where he was set to his vice h president ial pick who is rumored to be indiana governor mike pence. Us a little bit more about that vice ben dential pick is shreckinger, a reporter from politco. Good morning, ben. Uest good morning, how are you. Host great. Thank you for joining us this morning. Tell us a little bit more about overnor mike pence and how donald trump came to select him. Sure. So mike pence is very much the safe pick for trump. He served in the house. Hes now governor of indiana. Hes a staunch conservative at a many conservatives in he party are withholding their support from donald trump and are only supporting him reluctantly. Has someone that has the support of the coke brothers. Ven with pence on the ticket, its not expected that the coke brothers would support trump and really Political Team wanted pence other people in orbit favored Newt Gingrich, including his jar ed krishner who supported, and even people on the campaign trail supported grinch. Stronger had a personal relationship with newt Chris Christie so his apparent decision to go with mike pence, and i would disclaim that anything could happen between now and it looks like tomorrow when trump will hold the announcement. But the apparent decision to go pence indicates that trump is willing to go outside of his personal comfort zone to do what thinks is going to be politically necessary and in cases, weve seen trump unwilling to go outside of zone so it may indicate a new personal dedication on trumps part to trying to win this thing. Host and speaking of going letide of his comfort zone, me redo a little bit about what wrote in todays Washington Post about mike pence and get your reaction to it. Says pences elevation to the ticket could help unify the party ahead of next weeks Republican National convention in cleveland. Welcomed on capitol hill with House Speaker paul ryan governor a Good Movement conservative. A deeply conservative former host, sman and talk show pence, who is 57, is a seasoned olitician who could help bring together disparate blocks of the republican coalition. En, what do you think of that assessment . Guest i think thats spoton. Midwesternes also a conservative, so in a place like wisconsin, where trump wants to competitive, but where a large part of the conservative really detests him and seems likely Many Republican likely to stay home in november. The addition of someone like help and d really could also help bring in money. Someone like paul ryan is a very successful fundraiser. So i think thats absolutely
