have a great weekend, everybody. our homeland security declaring we're dealing with a new template for terror both here at home and abroad. belgium raises its terror alert and deploys troops to dozens of potential targets today. this in the wake of arrests against terror cells. across western europe authorities are racing to find more ses spects with links to islamic treatment mists determined to strike. we're live in pairs with all the developments. meanwhile, here at home for the first time on fox news chilling new video of an nb sting you will see this man freely offering to blow himself up inside the u.s. capitol in the name of islam. >> i'm done. i'm done. my work is done in in life.

>> does the white house have a strategy, a beefed up one to fight the jihadists? that's a question lots of folks are asking including newly elected members of congress. we'll talk to three representatives about what they're hoping to fear from the president in next week's state of the union address. i'm uma pemmaraju, "america's news headquarters" life from the nation's capitol starts right now. but first, we begin with a fox news alert. this news just breaking out of mel born florida. local police in the area are saying they have contained a shooter inside the melbourne square maul. officers are evacuating the mall right now. these images show what's happening right outside the mall. police first reported a shooting there at 10:30 eastern this morning. we will continue to monitor the story and bring you updates as we get them. and now to this fox news

alert, nations across europe scrambling to stop another deadly terror attack like the one that took place in france taking 17 lives last week. the body of one of the extremists killed in that attack becomes a lightning rod. greg palkot is following all the latest developments from france and joins us live now from paris. >> uma, europe is a continent on edge right now. this after the deadly terror that france has seen in the past several days. first let's go to belgium where for the first time in decades belgium troops were out on the treats of brussels and other cities, this in the wake of a terror plot that was thwarted by the police there. it turns out the suspected terrorists were going to go after police in that country attack k them and killing them in various cities that was thwarted. belgium is not the only place that's seeing anti-terror activity in the past 48 hours

there have been arrests in germany and ireland and here in france. the big focus is on individuals mostly muslims, young men who go to syria and iraq, fight the jihadi fight there and come back and try to do the same thing in europe. you noted, uma, the controversy over the burial of the people responsible for the "charlie hebdo" shooting, well many officials said that they did not want that to happen in their cemeteries cemeteries, this he did not want those graves to become some sort of a strange is that ryan. well, they are and will be buried right now. said kouachi has been buried in a city to the northeast of here and is that reef kouachi will be buried in a suburb on the outskirts of paris, both places where they have lived in the past. and finally, not everybody loves "charlie hebdo." the newspaper which sparked the

first terror attack. we've seen riots in several countries around the world, mostly muslims, protesting the cartoon of the prophet muhammad on the cover of the latest issue. in a country in africa which was a former french colony seven churches in the past two days have been burnt down, as well as five people killed. anti-"charlie hebdo" sentiment by the way uma which is also reflected in some corners of france as well. back to you. >> all right, greg, thank you so much for that update from paris. turning now to the latest terror threats we're confronting here at home. accused home ground terrorist christopher lee cornell now being held without bond today. you may recall that the fbi saying he hoped to wage jihad by attacking the capitol with pipe bombs and shooting government employees as officials there. 20-year-old cornell reportedly was set to headache good on his threat at the time of his

arrest. he was nabbed after allegedly buying a pair of semi-automatic when answers along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition. >> the threat of the so-called lone wolf, the independent actor who could be lurking right here within the homeland and who could strike on little or no notice, a new phase in the terrorist global threat, which we must respond. >> that from homeland security chief jeh johnson saying we are in the midst of a rise in al qaeda affiliates around the globe despite a decline in the core group itself. 11 months before the 9/11 attacks osama bin laden sent suicide bombers to below up a hole in a navy destroyer. 17 sailors died and 39 others were wounded that day on the uss cole and forever cemented the al

qaeda leaders ruthless place in history. the 9/11 commission later concluding that bin laden was so em bold nd by the cole attack he wasted into time carrying out his deadly plots on new york and d.c. joining us now retired navy commander kirk lippold who was leading the uss cole during that attack. he's raising big concerns as we confront what our homeland security chief calls a new era in the global terror threat. welcome, commander. >> thank you uma. >> do you think this administration has an overall strategy to deal with the escalation of terror threats against the u.s. right now? >> right now i think they've got an approach, but they don't have a strategy. i think we're still looking at how we're going to deal with it what we're going to do. the biggest problem that i see going on with it is that there's no over arching ability for us to engage across the board with other one trees to ensure that we're sharing the kind of

intelligence we need to get what we need. the fbi is doing a phenomenal job here domestically the cia is trying to get the intelligence from overseas, but once again, we've gotten into this pre 9/11 mindset, treat it as a criminal party instead of a war that we're fighting against radical islam where we need to ensure that both of those agencies are getting -- that we have the intelligence fusion we need here at home in order to safeguard americans interests, not only just here at home, but americans abroad as well. >> does it bother you that the white house will not describe the terror attacks in france as tied to radical islam, even though the french government says it is and recently canada's prime minister went on the record saying the international jihadist mochl has declared war on western civilization and whether we like it or not it's not going away. why do you think this president down plaiz the link between the jihadists and radical islam? do you think the president feels compelled to defeat jihadists at this point? >> well, honestly uma, i think

what you're really seeing is an administration who is absolutely loath to put islam in any title whatsoever as we fight this war against these radicals. the bottom line is we have to call it what it is and at some point we have to label it for what it is. we are working very diligently with a lot of our muslim allies especially saudi arabia and others to try and get to the root causes of this thing so we can stop the spread of the radicals that we have. clearly the growth in isis that's going on clearly we are seeing annum bold nd al qaeda on the arabian peninsula that is operating freely in yemen. these are creating problems. while secretary jay johnson at the homeland security is worried about the lone wolf threat here at home i think it is going to be a much deeper a problem than that and we've got to make sure we're getting the intelligence fusion necessary to safeguard us here at home. i'm afraid we are once again guarding some rice bowls and that's not happening to the detriment of the american

people. >> i want to talk about iran for a moment. the president and prime minister of england both warning congress right now of possible military confrontations with iran. if congress succeeds in passing new sanctions against iran rather than giving new talks a chance, what's your reaction do this? >> i look at it and say, you know, mr. president, here is the problem, as long as we continue to negotiate, we are falling behind. every day that we negotiate with the eye rain yans is a day that the centrifuges are spinning r that the enrichment continues and they're continuing to gain technical know how into not only how to build a bomb but put it on top of a missile that can reach not only the middle east but beyond into israel and into europe. don't think for one minute that the eye rain yans aren't speaking with the pack stand yees, that they aren't talking about the north koreans to gain that technology and do it. i think congress is reaching a

point saying while it might be nice to negotiate and we want to come to a peaceful are resolution, at some point we need to draw that red line. doing nothing but negotiating at table creates nothing and we cannot afford this nation cannot afford to have a nuclear armed iran. >> i know you're also very concerned about the impact it releasing prisoners from gitmo. this week we had news that five more detainees were released at a time when the paris attack continues to put europe on edge. what do you make of this latest move? >> well, i am very concerned. i go back to when we created guantanamo bay starting with the joint chiefs of staff. it was designed to be an intelligence center for excellence in the war on terror. it was a place where we could bring detainees and learn about them and figure out how they conducted their operations so we could target them. the problem you have is that we no longer have a facility to bring them. we cannot afford to search ships south of norfolk to libya to

bring captured terrorists one at a time back to the united states for trial. we are in a war and we have to find a better way to do it. when you look at what guantanamo bay is and what it should be get out the human rights perspective where they're sitting there and manipulating it for their own purposes. guantanamo bay should be an intelligence center where we can put that inn jens together for the safety of the sake of the nation and it's imperative that we start using it for that purpose. releasing detainees when the resit vichl rate is going on is a continuing problem for the administration an endangers american lives in the field. additionally at a time when we need to be using that facility and these detainees are being released into countries that are unstable, if they no longer represent a threat to the united states then, mr. president, why don't won't you tell the american people why they no longer represent a threat, how much money it's costing us to resetel them and why you feel that is there's no follow up with any of the any of the other intelligence agencies around the world to track these guys.

if they're not a threat we don't need to be wasting our resources to do that and yet for every one of these detainees that's what we're doing. >> thank you so much for joining us with your insights today. >> thank you uma. great to be on the show. and news of an arrest of an ohio man that we told you about a few minutes ago who allegedly hoped to wage an all out attack on the u.s. capitol isn't the first time the fbi has foiled a plat master minded by a homegrown radical with similar ambitions. >> back in 2012 the agency arranged an undercover operation against a 29-year-old who also dreamed of an armed assault on the capitol, using a suicide vest and an automatic weapon. in an fbi video obtained by anhqdc it's very clear just how far these want to be terrorists will go to prepare for these kinds of attacks. as you watch the video you can see a mean al khalifi meeting

inside a hotel room with several undercover agents posting as al qaeda operatives ready to help him obtain bombs and guchbs watch as he tries to familiarize himself with a submachine gun. later, the group goes shopping at a hardware store for nails to build a nail bomb. and later the video shows them testing it it out at a west virginia quarry. >> i want you to see how it will react. >> as he watches the bomb explode khalifi says. >> this is -- this is -- >> chilling indeed. now, al clafy is currently serving a 30 year prison sentence for planning to strike the u.s. capitol. the fbi video underscores the radicals have every intention of going forward with more plans to go after western interests. and you may have noticed that the voices and faces in that

video have been distorted by the fbi. they are there to protect their identities. joining us with more insights on sting operations like this and what the fbi is up against former assistant fbi director and former chief of kourcht terrorism. welcome, sir. this video is a rare glimpse into what goes on in these kinds of undercover operations and the fact that we were able to witness very clearly the ambitions of the homegrown radical and what he hoped to accomplish there. chilling. >> yeah it's chilling, unfortunately, it's not uncommon anymore. this one that played out more recently and this one are examples of several kinds of cases like this where people have intentions to commit acts of terrorism and we're able to prevent them through these kinds of operations. it's easy afterward to minimize and look at people and say they didn't have much in the way of capability or much in the way of ability. but you look at some of the very

bad terrorist incidents, look at what happened in paris and you see what a few dedicated fanatical people who gain access to weapons, which is not that difficult to do, the kind of havoc they can cause on their own. it doesn't take a 9/11 plot to be a very -- create a very serious terrorist incident. >> is that the difference now because before we were talking about sleeper cells so to speak, they were waiting to take orders from the leadership as to when to strike, but now it's as though they are ready to move at a moments notice whenever they decide to think it's the right time to act on it. >> the reality is you have to deal with both situations, you did a very good job of characterizing those. today what we're dealing with a fanatical ideology the ideology of radical islam and that ideology has stred spread across the world certainly the internet and other technological advancements have made that easier. there are people now who are infected with that ideology who

don't need to be told specifically what to do they understand what the imperative is and they can kaefr it out on their own and that's a much more difficult proposition to deal with because they have the ability to slip through that intelligence net. >> absolutely. the president yesterday along with british prime minister david cameron talked about beefing up internet access to the jihadists and are talking about taking this fight online at this point. >> yeah. >> what did you make of those remarks and how do you go about doing that? >> it's, again a very difficult proposition proposition. surely, we have to do something and we are doing things to monitor as best we can their use of the internet and to counter their use of the internet and those -- those things, again, recent events demonstrate we clearly that we have to do that, it's part of the whole range of things. this is not a simple equation. fighting terrorism internationally is not a simple process and not one dimensional.

there are all kinds of things you have to do. the first line of defense is intelligence, we have to try to stay ahead of them, knowing who they are, where they are and what they're planning to do and carry out operations against them both through law enforcement, militarily and diplomatically before they're able to strike. that's the key. >> when you talk about surveillance, we have heard reports about sites where there's -- >> it's a question of more a question of legality. there's no -- no restriction in the united states for people who want to go out in the woods and

shoot at targets and do other activities that may be characteristic of terrorism, but unless you can actually link those people and those activities to a terrorist group, a terrorist organization or a terrorist activity there's very little that you can do to stop that and that is a problem, it's been a problem for years it continues to be and for the future, for the foreseeable future it's going to continue that way. >> do you expect to see the fbi moving forward more aggressively against some of these individuals that they have been upon torg just to try to offset any potential threat? >> you know, that's another issue. monitoring. we have thousands of people maybe tens of thousands i don't know that number of people whose activities raise suspicions. this is a democrat tick country, there's a lot of things you can do before it triggers a law enforcement response, before that monitoring and that investigation can turn into a criminal charge. the fbi and local law enforcement will play a big part

in this as well. will have to continue to be on the leading edge, can you get edge, being as aggressive and they can to collect intelligence within the framework of our democratic society so had a when that line is crossed between what's legal and what is not legal, they're ready to act. >> it's a very scary time that we're living in right now certainly because we keep hearing that we have entered this new phase on the war on terror. >> i think that's very clear this is not a problem that's about to go away. we've had great successes and i think it's important to acknowledge that, it's been -- it's been many years since we've had a large scale successful terrorist attack and that's not by accident, that's because of the good work that everybody has done but no way are we near being out of the woods on this yet into shoe very much sir. >> you're welcome. >> so now i'd like to hear you from, it's your turn to weigh in. who do you believe poses the bigger threat to our homeland, homegrown terrorists or

jihadists from terror cells overseas? send me your thoughts @umapemmaraju or @anhqdc and we will read some of your answers on our show. >> still ahead, pope francis' trip to the philippines getting a stormy reception from mother nature. we'll tell you how that has changed his plans. plus stormy seas are turning around newly discovered dhungs of airasia's fuselage but divers can't get a closer look, we'll tell you why. with terrorism awareness at an all time high the debate intensifies about the proposed closure of guantanamo bay. we're going to talk to one senator just back from that detention center.

welcome back everybody. we begin this hour with a fox news alert. at a time when we're hearing that we're in the midst of a new era in the ongoing war on terror, consider the contrast this week between the white house and europe reacting to the fast moving developments in the after math of last week's paris attack.

countries like belgium, france and germany continue with the strategy of taking down dangerous terror cells with reads against the jihadists while this country there has been no let up with releasing detainees from cuba's guantanamo bay prison site. five yes, ma'am me terror suspects were set free this week. four of the five were sent to oman which happens to be right next door to yemen. critics are charging that many of those released have already gone back to the front lines of terror and releasing more detainees at this time is the wrong move. republican senators introducing legislation that would ban the release to yemen for two years and suspend transfers of high or medium risk terror suspects. james rishch who supports this legislation. welcome, senator great to have you here today. >> thank you for having me. >> let me ask you first what was

your reaction to the news that five more detainees had beened this week at a time when so much of the world is focused on what's happening in europe with the terror raids there? >> well, you know this just doesn't make sense but then a lot of the things that the administration has done particularly pertaining to gitmo, doesn't make sense. prior to him becoming president the prior administration had gone out and identified the leaders of this war and it is a war against america, where these leaders plot things like 9/11 and other types of attacks against the homeland, and for that matter also against europe. they went out and through special operations military action, gathered these people up and took them as prisoners and put them in gitmo, and now the present administration has been letting them out on a regular basis. these are dangerous people and as you pointed out in the lead up, it is clear that at least a third that we can prove have

gone back to the same thing of trying to -- trying to kill americans. >> the administration says that those who have been released so far do not pose a serious threat although we are seeing there is a recidivism pachl of those guys gag back some of them joining you be with jude yees overseas. the legislation would delay at least for two years the release of for detainees going forward. can you tell us more about it? >> well, you know it's pretty straightforward. i mean, the two-year time period obviously is to give a new president the opportunity to review this. president obama made this as a political promise when he was running for office as president and so as a result of that, even though when he became president was privy to a lot more intelligence that should have convinced him that that was a mistake, has not done so and decided that he's going to continue to do this. these people are clearly going

back to work and lead and put together cells and send people to countries that they can get them to to hurt americans and kill westerners. this is just the wrong thing to do. we got these people held, why, oh, why, would you want to turn them loose again? >> i know the concerns are not only coming from the gop, there are members on the democrat tick side who also feel very strongly about this because they say right now perhaps we need to take a pause because of the stepped up concerns of what's happening overseas and the concerns about threats here at home. why do you think the white house continues to move ahead with this promise at a time when people might be saying do you know what, maybe you should step back just for the moment while all this drama is playing out around the world? >> well, that certainly makes sense is to take a pause right now, although it shouldn't have been did done in the beginning and certainly shouldn't continue now. they're ratcheting up again you

know, we have various groups it's al qaeda, it's isis or isil, whatever you want to call them al shabaab boko haram, all of them are gearing up and for whatever reason over the last 18 months or so as we see there are people killed by these groups every single day somewhere in the world, doesn't make headlines here in america, but we work in the intelligence field, spend a lot of time every day looking at this stuff and i can tell you that every single day there are people in the world killed by these groups and this is going to get worse, it's not going to get better if we don't take appropriate steps. >> that's a sad reality. all right, senator, thank you so much for joining us. keep us posted on what develops on that legislation. >> thank you. and coming up, our special panel of freshman representatives on the hill on everything from the state of the union to the war on terror. don't go away for this. stay with us.

welcome back, everybody. while president obama is setting up for his sixth state of the union address next week but it's the first for many members of the congress including three nor joining us right now, they are part of the new class of freshmen offering new ideas on capitol and the hope of a press start for a grid locked congress. congressman ryan zincy from montana, congress woman debbie dingel from michigan and congressman french hill from arkansas. welcome to both of you you are are republicans, you are krath democrat. >> we're living under very difficult times. i want to bring up the fact first in terms of keeping up with the theme of terrorism right now, there are a lot of

folks who are hoping that the president includes some if you priorities or beefed up expectations for the fight against the jihadists in his state of the union address. do you hope and expect that he will? >> first thing he has to identify to the american people what we face. it is an islamic terrorist organization that we face. it's an ideology. you're not going to reform these guys. when they dee capitate children and crucify villages you are a he not going to reform them. we have to fight and we have to fight for our values and our constitution and it's going to take resolve and american leadership. what i expect from the president is call it the way it is. tell the american people the truth. the truth is it's not a small group of islamic terrorists. when you have clergy that have millions of followers worldwide and this is what they're articulating, we face a very significant threat in my opinion and we have to deal with it as a

country. unless we lead, no one else will. there is no one on the face of the planet that is like america, where we have a position of responsibility. we're a great nation a powerful and with great power comes great responsibility and we have to start leading from the frong. >> congress woman engle, do you feel uncomfortable with the fact that the white house retrains from calling this radical islam or krad mic tis terrorists. >> i do think terrorism is is a great threat and that is one of the sources of it. we see people from around the world joining isis i think the latest and what we immediate to be very concerned about and who is joining them and what they are doing. frightening. and there's nothing rational about it. i concur that i hope that the president on tuesday night will talk about the need for us all to be united, for our homeland security to be strong. i wish that we had not in the bills that we were considering tried to plit size them.

i think we need to make sure we pass a homeland security bill that is not political and is clean and sews that we are all united in fighting the evil that is out there and we all be united in standing together as america in leader ship fighting in frichl. >> is it possible, though congressman, to keep the politics out of this debate that's going on right now, given the fact that the stakes are so high? >> uma i think that the president not only needs to talk about confronting this issue by calling it by name and getting consensus on that but he's also got to demonstrate american leadership around the world with our allies because the only way we're going to defeat this islamic terrorist threat which has been going on for three decades and continues is by having a united front with our freedom loving allies around the world and i hope he addresses that feature as well on tuesday night. >> the expectations are that the united states needs to lead the world on this, yet the president continues to say we need to have partners and isn't it true that

we also need real partners in the muslim world as well those countries need to come together and work with the united states and europe to fight the jihadists? >> i concur with you 100%. we do need our allies and allies are going to transition from primarily western to islamic nations, my peern yens as a navy commander, you know, there were some sunni tribes that fought with us, the kurds and we do need to be supportive and there's a lot of room to show that we are. right now our enemies don't fear us and our allies don't trust us and having a no-show foreign policy even to our oldest ally you send a signal and when you don't show up or you don't address isis in a meaningful way, then i think it shows weakness, and what i think it does is it fuels a worldwide terrorist ideal that they can win. they're not going to be able to

win. >> do you think we look weak to the world? >> i'm going to disagree on the one point. i think that we have -- i do believe that we have to be part of a coalition. i think that our western partners are very important, that we all need to be strong in being united in opposing this evil, and i think that our era partners are very critical to this. i think it's very important that we not take a paintbrush and paint everybody as evil, either but i think we need to be strong. i think the president has tried to be strong. i think this country gets conflicted at times about how they want to see that leadership play out. i think it needs to be a strong coalition of world leaders fighting this evil together. >> but yet we continue to see the president in situations where he draws a red line, for example, with syria and doesn't act on it when there are concerns that syria has used chemical pep ens. there are concerns about the way we react when we're dealing with the treatment of these jihadists

once they're captured whether we treat them as world criminals or put them through the due process them is that we have in our country. >> i differ with the president's message. i think he sent mixed messages to our enemies and allies particularly over the past two years since the conflict has erupted in syria. there's no doubt that delaying a status of forces agreement in iraq he gave isil an opportunity to bloom in syria and explode across the border. i'm concerned about that because this is a terror danger that will extend across the entire middle east region and it's something that has to be stopped and i think you start by identifying who your enemy is and what you're going to do it and build a coalition force to achieve that. i do believe the president has sent mixed messages over the past two years in that regard. >> we're going to take a break and when we come back we're going to talk about some other issues including the controversy over immigration and i also want to talk to you about restoring trust and faith in government and its leaders.

stand by. more after that. is decadent, fruit topped pastry... ...with indulgent streusel crumble, be from... fiber one. fiber one streusel. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda. with psoriatic arthritis, i had intense joint pain that got worse and worse. then my rheumatologist prescribed enbrel. i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer. enbrel helps relieve pain and stop joint damage. i've been on the course and on the road. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss

whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever bruising, bleeding, or paleness. enbrel helped relieve my joint pain. but the best part of every journey... dad!!! ...is coming home. ask if enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists, can help you stop joint damage.

but the 114th congress

brings in a new watch of fresh faces, can they make the difference they hope for? we are back with our special panel and i want to get a little more personal with you, give our audience a sense of our back words. you're a former navy seal, you served with the seal team 6, you bring that experience to the table in ways that will help you hopefully as you serve in congress on the armed services committee and others. what is it about your experience that you feel sets you apart from others who can, you know, actually know what it's like to be out there? >> having practical experience about what's going on in terrorism and why and seeing the world through the eyes of a military commander i think is useful. i took my oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, i take it seriously and i took the oath as a congressman to do the same and i think we have to defend the constitution. and congress needs to step up

this last election wasn't about republicans or democrats, i think it was about the course that our country is taking was wrong and congress needs to exercise the constitutional duties to correct it. at least do their duties. i think we will see, we'll see bipartisan legislation come up and not taking large pieces, but smaller pieces where we can have some agreements because america wants to see in a football sense the ball being moved up the field. >> right. you are no stranger to politics since your husband was the longest serving member of congress, you succeeded by taking his seat you bring a special perspective in your own way. when you talk about trust, when you talk about restoring public faith in government, what do you do to make that connection? how do you restore that in people's minds knowing that there is so many polarization going on? >> i'm someone that has always worked to bring people of

different backwards together to find solutions. i think americans are tired of the partisan bickering. the man that i was married to who was a mentor always did that he was a very wise man who worked with republicans and democrats his entire career and got in trouble for it at times and quite frankly i'm going to end up in trouble, too, because that's exactly what i'm going to do. i don't look at us as democrats or republicans, a we're all americans. and i think the american people have sent us a message. we've got problems in this country, work together and start mentioning them. part of it's developing relationships and building trust. >> you come to the table with an interesting background as well as a commercial banker, investment manager you are very keen on wanting to restore the seen before yet as you know very well, there are lots of concerns about moving forward with the white house a different vision than the gop. moving forward the gop controlled house, do you see

lots of showdowns ahead? >> well i think the american people are frustrated. i think hard-working taxpayers out there want their congress to work. you see 15% approval. >> that's nothing to be proud of. >> there are a whole bunch of people above it. so there's nowhere to go but up. >> right. >> but i campaigned on the fact that our economy has been to be returned to help. there are fewer people working in our congressional district than seven years ago. i think this economy's healthy. they want careers and opportunities. and i believe in congress, our obligation is to put policies forward that move our economy forward and make it healthy and create those opportunities. >> just a couple secretaries' worth actually. i wanted to ask you about immigration. very controversial. give me a ten-second answer how you think it's going to get involved in congress? >> with the constitutional

authority. the amendments are about the constitution. the president doesn't get to write law. so i think a bill itself is a good bill to defend our country. but we also got to turn to securing the borders. and policy that makes sense and fix a broken immigration policy. >> the president with the action on immigration, alarming to both sides of the aisle. >> what i hope for the country with immigration. we've got a coalition of business and government and a whole lot of others that we need to do it. i believe we've got to secure not only our southern borders but northern borders. let's work together in context of immigration. >> three seconds. >> it's the separation of powers issue. jayma dason said ambition has to be countered by ambition. and i think he's yoch reached in the executive orders.

>> obviously lots at stake, folks. i'm so glad you could join us. thank you for joining us today. we hope to hear more from the days and weeks ahead. your twitter responses coming up next. don't go away. ying sharp keeps your brain healthy with online exercises by the top minds in brain science. find more real possibilities at aarp.org/possibilities.
