when we get more headlines we will certainly get them to you first right here. james coney, fbi director breaks in one hour 15 minutes, "happening now" starts now. jon: and we begin with a fox news alert, new information on the deadliest mass shooting in american history, the worst terror attack on our soil since 9/11. we've just learned that the gunman, omar mateen twice visited saudi arabia in the last five years. good morning, i'm jon scott. welcome to "happening now". heather: i'm heather goward in for jenna lee. with the community and the world still stunned by the slaughter of innocent people, 48 of the 49 victims have now been identified , all the bodies have now been moved to the polls nightclub as isis

claims one of its fighters as they called it was responsible for the massacre. the mayor of orlando says his city will not bow in the face of terror . >> smile on a clock, all the victims had been removed and turned over to the medical examiner and the fdl e and they also stood tall and did their job and now 48 of the 49 victims have been identified.24 of the next of kin have been notified with more to come. again, wewill not be defined by the act of a cowardly hater . >> oh my god, people are getting shot, dude. oh my god, dude. heather: and then there is that. that cell phone video capturing the horror and the panic inside the polls nightclub as a gunman civilly shows no mercy. witnesses describing the scene, listen .

>> i suddenly heard boom, boom and thought it was a stereo but like all my goodness, something went on. it was just the music and after the second shot there was a pause and then it just started shooting, shooting and that's when we knew something was wrong. iran. i just was trying to get out of there as soon as possible. we just ran to get out of there . somewhere safe. >> you turned around and the person next to you is screaming, there was blood spattering, i didn't know if it was mine or somebody else's but when i got out i realized it wasn't mine, it was somebody else's.the guy behind me was shot in the back, i took off my bandanna and tied it off with it. i put my bandanna in the hole in the back so he wasn't bleeding, his whole pant leg was red and it was soaked. my hands werejust covered and i didn't know what to do but stand there and tell him to bestrong . >> . jon: we have fox news

coverage of the aftermath, bill keating at the home of the suspect but we begin with peter ducey was been on top of this from the beginning, like in orlando right now . reporter: overnight the medical examiner's office finally transported the victims bodies from the dance floor to the morgue. notifying the next of kin is a top priority for authorities today but as yesterday, there is still one identified victim so there is one family who hasn't been officially notified that their loved one died yesterday. we are all still learning today more about what happened inside pulse nightclub in the third hour of the tense standoff between a swat team and a terrorist. officials describing this morning the first moment they blew their way into the club bathroom where hostages were hiding out. >> we kind of secured everything, called swat and we set up for an explosive

breach on the bathroom wall where we knew there were approximately 15 people in the opposing bathroom to where the suspect was with his hostages. based on statements made by the suspect, based on information we received from the suspect and from the hostages and people inside, we believed that further loss of life was imminent. reporter: 29 victims remain here at orlando regional health center, five of them are in great condition as of the last update 20 minutesago and we are told that many of the nine who died here at the hospital yesterday had no vital signs when they arrived . since this is the only level i trauma center in central florida, officials say they see these patients every day

but not to this extent. doctors describing the gunshot wounds of the surviving victims as extreme, mostly in trunk and abdominal areas. we are told the operating room was busy all day yesterday, there are six surgeries scheduled for today, the first of which started more than two hours ago and 200 and wished family members came here looking for information about their loved one who they believe had been shot and either injured or killed and they are not here at the hospital, many of those victims relatives are at a nearby in and we visited that hotel in the last two hours and the scene there as you can imagine is about as grim as it gets. john? jon: that trauma center did great work and the work still continuing there. vince viafore in orlando, thank you. heather: in the meantime, investigators pouring over the background of omar mateen, the fbi confirming they interviewed him twice in recent years but found no reason to detain him or to maintain surveillance of him. officers also swarming

around his father's house in port st. lucie florida, searching a car at one point. mateen's ex-wife speaking out today, saying he was abusive and unstable and she was glad to get away from him . >> i saw his instability and i saw that he was bipolar and he would get mad out of nowhere. that's when i started worrying about my safety and after a few months he started beating me physically. very often and not allowing me to my family, keeping me separate from them and i tried to see the good in him even then but my family was convinced what i was going through and decided to visit me. my family literally rescued me . the night they were there they had to pull me out of his arms and by emergency flight, i left all my belongings and made a police report. heather: bill keating is live for us in fort pierce florida area phil, good morning.

reporter: the woodland condos here, basically run-of-the-mill, typical apartment complexes and according to neighbors, one of the seemingly typical and seemingly normal residents was mass murderer omar mateen. his apartment right behind me around the corner, that's where fbi agents finally left this morning around 6:30 a.m. after gathering and removing a lot of evidence. mateen worked as a security officer for g4 s security solutions which has a multimillion dollar contract the department of homeland security. his job is in securing 90 percent of us nuclear facilities and mateen's apartment, fbi agents removed bags and bags of evidence and belongings of mateen from the apartment where he is believed to have plotted his attack. us attorney confirms a lot of the evidence gathered was physical but also electronic including a laptop. mateen's parents are afghanistan while mateen was born in new york. his father, he just spoke

with the associated press outside his nearby apartment in the neighboring town of fort pierce. here's he is in port st. lucie and he had just seen his son days ago and seemed normal and didn't see any red flags of the massacre to common. >> it's painful but i don't approve of that. again, i saw my son and what he did was active terrorists. i take the human view of my son, i don't approve ofanyone doing such a thing . this is my room. why? why he did do that? this is against the principle of me and our whole country. reporter: neighbors of mateen described him as just a regular guy who was actually

present and nice and whenthey saw his face on television identified as the terrorist mass murderer, they were absolutely stunned . >> he was sweet. him and his girlfriend andthe baby were supersweet. they helped me fix my car . i'm in shock. they were very sweet withme. >> did he ever say anything about isis or radical terrorism. >> never . >> what went through your mind? >> i was shocked. i was definitely shocked. i started calling people and started going through all the time i had with him , ... i'm shocked. reporter: mateen's car was also searched and they found the marine corps license plate as well as a couple us marine corps stickers and a nasa sticker. not what you'd expect from somebody who's pledging their support in the middle of a mass murder, a terrorist attack to isis.also

opportunistically perhaps, the islamic state radio today calling mateen one of the soldiers of the caliphate in america. that's the latest here from the woodlands condos from which this attack clearly emanated. at her? martha: heather: atf also saying they found an additional weapon in his car. thank you. jon: for more on all of this, let's talk with bungee, a former secret service agent in the elite presidential detective detail for president obama, also in international security consultant. it's a weird mix dan. we've seen photos of this guy wearing new york police department t-shirt, we heard as a marine bumper sticker on his car and yet he pledges fealty to isis. is this a isis inspired lone wolf attack? >> yeah, i think so and i think even the term lone wolf

is losing most of its strategic meaning in this war on terror and the reason i say that john is whether it's a isis inspired attack or a isis directed attack, isis doesn't care. in other words john, if they put out a propaganda video or media material meant to inspire people to go out and feel like they clearly did in may when they put out a message for people to attack florida, whether it's inspired or directed by an official in isis, it doesn't matter. the result is the same and those are sadly that americans killed in this horrible attack. jon: many of the terrorism plots that have been brokenup involve large numbers of people , internet links, emails, even text messages and the us government so far has been pretty successful in preventing that kind of thing. this kind of an attack is exactly what isis wants to do. >> i'm so glad you brought

that point up because me along with the many other security officials with the miliary in this arena have been sounding the alarm for years about these soft target attacks. john, they don't leave the investigative breadcrumbs and organized so wood. when you look back at 9/11, you had nearly $1 million exchange hands in international transactions, you had flight training, numerous contacts by a computer and person to person , those all leave breadcrumbs behind for the joint terrorist task force, local and state law enforcement entities to break up those cells. when you have one individual watching and internet video, all he have to do to fill it a trigger and inflict carnage like this mandate, it's very difficult for law enforcement infrastructure to stop these kind of attacks and it really , it speaks to a dangerous tomorrow if we don't reorganize our federal law enforcement infrastructure

soon. jon: president obama mentioned the guns that were used and raised a question about we have to ask ourselves whether this is the kind of country we want to live in, referring to the guns but isn't that sort of deflecting attention from the real issue here? >> you know, i'm a bit disgusted and i hate to use such strong terminology referring to the president in such a horrible situation but i really am. i'm disgusted that we can't even let the bodies and the families more without this becoming a political debate . the president did that, it's not us. we're just answering back. if were going to focus on gun control when the real answer here is the president's failure to take out isis and the growth of isis on his watch, to indisputable facts, isn't that a political distraction on his part? this is not a gun control issue john.

it's clear to see there were none no gun laws broken at all. i don't know why the president said that other than to leverage it for a sick political advantage. this is not the time for this. it's really disturbing that he has his inclination to constantly politicize tragedies immediately. again, it's disturbing and doesn't do anything to solve the problem . jon: you andother security professionals are going to be looking for ways to stop the next one of these . how do we do that? >> this is my message to your audience. the soft targets out there sadly argue. a small business owners and americans, we can't rely on state and local police officers and federal law enforcement. if you own a small business, the likelihood of you being attack is infinitesimal. jack should have hard blueprints of your facility, electronic blueprints, video cameras, you should have things like shock doors if god for bid there's a soft target tactical assault in your neighborhood, it's very unlikely it's going to happen thank god but we should harden up our targets and

that's our responsibility. contact your local community affairs police officer the one we have to say goodbye, some good thoughts there. thank you. heather: the old orlando attack renewing concerns about homegrown terrorists among us in the united states. what a isis affiliated newsgroup is now saying about the gunman. new information. we will be right back. and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges. in new york state, we believe tomorrow starts today. all across the state, the economy is growing, with creative new business incentives, and the lowest taxes in decades, attracting the talent and companies of tomorrow. like in buffalo,

we seem to be getting bogged down. >> it doesn't matter from the victim's perspective. this is the most successful inspired attack today, basically. that is if it was inspired, we don't know the details but if it wasn't inspired attack, this is most successful where we have the dead people, dozens more casualties. usually these are not that lethal. professional terrorists have been more of a threat than these inspired johnnies but when it choses these homegrown press that they call is getting worse and worse. heather: i'm wondering if it minimizes things to refer to it as isis inspired. it doesn't matter the point is it's part of the same ideological movement so whether he had directions from iraq or not, this is a guide was clearly part of that ideological movement . he was acting in their name, right? so that ideology that ideology spread across the globe since 9/11. heather: you say that 911 call he made prior to going on that shooting spree was significant.

>> exactly what isis tells their followers to do. they have a whole mythology built up about this idea that you have to pledge to the caliphate and die in a state of obedience. an oath ofallegiance to the caliphate, you risk going to hell. this is part of their mythology . heather: publicly stated, like he did. >> the san bernardino attackers did it as well which is part of their mythology which is why he made the call in the first place. heather: you write the long war journal and i can't help but think about afghanistan and iraq, so many of her men and women have died to protect our country over there, george bush and the theory of we will fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here and now terrorists come to the most basic of cities in the united states. >> one of the things we say is that 9/11 the johnnies were fighting in one country. today we count about 18. 9/11 wasn't just about us. it was also about political revolution. that's the idea they had. the johnny revolution has swept across the majority of the world and that's increased the risk to us from numerous angles and that's why it's called the long war because we are in a long war

and until we start fighting a generational battle against the ideas that motivated and helps organizations that promulgated in a real way, it's going to keep going. heather: the next debate we should have is what we can do as citizens to help out. >> i'm sick of coming here and talking about terrorist attacks. i only come out for the bad ones but the point is we have to address it in that generational struggle. what are we going to do to fight this in the long run . heather: we will have back to talk about that, thank you so much. john? jon: a three hour gap between the first shots fired at the polls nightclub and the end of that harrowing siege area police are facing questions about the response.we will talk with the fbi's former hostage rescue team commander about that. >>

presumptive presidential nominee story clinton" will both address the massacre during campaign events later today. this morning, speaking on fox and friends saying the us should increase its military was response in the wake of the shooting. >> i'm getting thousands of letters and tweets that i was right about the whole situation. i've been right about a lot of things, frankly. i was right about peak oil, right about many things, i was right about nato with terrorism. did you see last week on the front page of the wall street journal, they're going to start a whole terrorism division and it's because of me. nato was obsolete. it'sexactly what i said. i've been right about a lot of things. i don't want congratulations. what am i doing? i don'want congratulations. what i wanted to do is the top and vigilant, our government . heather: nato had that kind

of division, but nevertheless donald trump will be making speeches later this afternoon. hillary clinton also reiterating the need to double down she says on efforts to combat isis and isis inspired a tax. >> look at this as the complex challenge it is. that may not be something that donald trump wants to talk about but we are absolutely up to going after lone wolves, working with our allies to dismantle the global network that fuels this kind of radicalization. and i intend to set up a team, a dedicated team that is exclusively focused on detecting and preventing lone wolf attacks. heather: clinton planning to make further comments today during an address that will take place 90 minutes from now, we will be watching that one. yesterday, senator bernie sanders also spoke from his home in vermont, here's what he had to say. >> my condolences go out to the families of the 50+

people who losttheir lives in this unbelievably horrific mass murder . isis must be destroyed. and we have got to do everything humanly possible to prevent these types of tragedies from occurring again. heather: everything humanly possible, this attack continued expected data continued impact on the conversation as we had to the election. our political panel with will weigh in with me onthat. jon: in orlando, police face a harrowing scene as a heavily armed gunmen held hundreds of people hostage. the shooting and the seas began at just about 2 am . the swat team did not storm the nightclub until three hours later, 5 am. omar mateen was killed in a gun battle with police but the timing of the response with raising questions about whether law enforcement

waited too long to move in. joining us on the phone is danny colson, a former fbi assistant deputy director and the agencies former hot rescue team commander. danny, the local police chief said today that after the initial wave of gunshots and during the time the swat team was waiting to go in, that nobody lost their lives, in other words the three-hour delay he seemed to say it not affect the outcome in terms of the number of dead. what do you say about that three-hour gap? >> i got about 50 questions about that today. one thing you have to remember that they had wounded in there and i don't know if we know whether or not the delay major they were. a lot of questions, the first is i know they use a bearcat to move through the wall. jon: a heavily armed vehicle yes, i don't know exactly the details of that but they may have believed that do to the ceasing of the gunfire that

they were better off doing a more deliberate assault to go in, i don't know what they did. i don't have a schematic of the building, i don't have any of the details about that . one thing to remember, john is that the single most important thing during the hostage rescue is the breach. you have to get in and if you can't get in or the breach is delayed or whatever, then you have an unsuccessful rescue. they did do a breach to get in. why they delayed, that's something they will have to take a look at and come up with some conclusions. it may very well be that they did not have the time to get in there given the hardware the guy had. jon: i thought ever since the columbine massacre it was generally the m.o. of police agencies to just get into the building as quickly as possible and try to stopthe shooter . >> that's exactly right and that is the thought. you have to go in and go in

right after them, you have to do it but again i don't have the details. i can tell you what policy normally is. i was not on scene, the commander has a better view of this than i do. one thing to remember, the policeman worked for politicians , there may have been some reluctance on the part of the mayor or somebody else in charge to allow them to go in so there are a lot of things we don't know. we always want to point at the police department but oftentimes the police are under the influence of control by civilians who really are professionals insecurity. jon: i do not want to sound critical of the police at all. i know there are reasons that sometimes you have to wait, it just makes sense but it does seem puzzling. >> the better course of action is to go immediately.

jon: danny colson, former hostage negotiator for the fbi. heather: president obama receiving regular briefings on the attack but what action will be administrated take in the wake of the horrific attack? plus, an outpouring of support. take a look at this, from around the world. here in new york city, the empire state building going dark, that was overnight, remember the victims in florida. other landmarks lit up in the colors of the rainbow to support orlando and the lgbt community. coverage of orlando continues coming up . ou get advanced technology solutions, including an industry leading broadband network, and cloud and hosting services - all with dedicated, responsive support. with centurylink as your trusted technology partner, you're free to focus on growing your business. centurylink. your link to what's next. jon: president obama and vice

president i received a briefing with fbi director james comey, j johnson, national counterterrorism director rasmussen and director gates in the oval office, here's what the president had to say. >> were going to be doing a more extensive briefing around noon. a little bit after noon over at fbi headquarters so i will allow them to go into all the details but i thought it was important for you to hear it directly from me. first of all, our hearts go out to the families of those who been killed. our prayers go to those who been wounded. it is a devastating attack on all americans area it is one that is particularly painful

for the people of orlando but i think we all recognize that this could have happened anywhere in this country and we feel in norma's solidarity and grief on behalf of the families affected. the fact that it took place at a club frequented by the lgbt q community, i think is also relevant and we are still looking at all the motivations of the killer . but it's a reminder that regardless of race, religion, faith or sexual orientation, we are all americans and we need to be looking after each other and protecting each other at all times in the face of this kind of terrible act. with respect to the killer, there's been a lot of

reporting and its important to emphasize we are still at thepreliminary stages of the investigation and there's a lot more we have to learn . the one thing that we can say is that this is being treated as a terrorist investigation. it appears that the shooter was inspired by various extremist information that was disseminated overthe internet . all those materials are currently being searched, exploited so we will have a better sense of the pathway that the killer took in making a decision to launch this attack. as director james comey will indicate at this stage, we see no clear evidence that he was directed externally. it does appear that at the

last minute, he announced allegiance to isis but there's no evidence so far that he was in fact directed and also at this stage no evidence that he was part of a larger plot and in that sense, it appears to be similar to what we saw in san bernardino but we don't yet know and this is part of what is going to be important in terms of the investigation. as far as we can tell right now, this is certainly an example of the kind of homegrown extremism that all of us have been so concerned about for a very long time. and also it appears that he was able to obtain these weapons legally , that he did not have a criminal record and in some ways would prohibit him from purchasing these weapons. it appears that one of those weapons he was able to carry

out of the store, an assault rifle. a handgun, unblock which had a lot of cliffs in it area he was required to wait for three days under current law but it indicates the degree to which it was not difficult for him to obtain these kinds of weapons. director comey will discuss the fact that we did some investigation of him in the past but as director comey will indicate, the fbi followed their procedures as they were supposed to do properly. at the end of the day, this is something that we are going to have to grapple with , making sure that even as we go after isis and other

extremist organizations overseas, even as we hit their leadership, even as we go after their infrastructure, even as we take key personnel off the field and even as we disrupt external plots , that one of the biggest challenges we are going to have is this kind of propaganda and preservatives of islam generated on the internet and the capacity for that to seep into the minds of troubled individuals or weak individuals and seeing them motivated then to take actions against people here in the united states and across the world are tragic so countering this extreme ideology is increasingly going to be just as important as making sure that we are disrupting more extensive

plots engineered by terrorist cells. we are also going to have to make sure that we are vigilant about the risks we are willing to take in how we make very powerful firearms available to people in this country. and this is something that obviously i talked about for a very long time area my concern is that we start getting into a debate as has happened in the past which is an either/or debate and the suggestions either we think about something as terrorism and we ignore the problems with easy access to firearms or it's all about firearms and we ignore the very real role that organizations like isis had in dealing with extremist views inside this

country. it's not an either or, it's both ends. we have to go after these terroristorganizations and hit mansard . we have to counter extremism. but we also have to make sure that it's not easy for somebody who decides they want to harm people in this country to be able to obtain weapons. and my hope is that over the next days and weeks that we are being sober about how we approach this problem, and determined by our investigators but we also do some reflections into how we can best tackle what is going to be a very challenging problem, not just here in this country but around the world.again, my final point is just to extend our deepest

sympathies to the families of those affected and to send our prayers to those who are surviving. and are in hospitals right now, family members hoping that they get better. in the meantime, you can anticipate sometime around noon that director comey and the deputy attorney general gates will provide you with more about this. is there any more from the lgbt community on this? >> we don't yet know the motivations but here's what we do know is organizations like isil or organizations like al qaeda or those who have perverted islam and created these radical nihilistic vicious organizations, one of the

groups they target are these islamists because they believe they do not abide by their attitudes towards sexuality. now, we also know these are organizations that they can take captive women and enslave them and break them. so they are clearly are connections between the attitudes of an organization like this and their attitudes towards tolerance and pluralism and a belief that all people are treated equally regardless of sexual orientation, women being empowered, they feel threatened by them so yes, i'm sure they're going to be able to find that there are connections regardless of particular modifications of

this killer. there are connections between this vicious bankrupt object ideology and general attitudes towards gays and lesbians and unfortunately, that is something that the lgbt community is subject to not just by isil but by a lot of groups that purport to speak on the half of islam around the grove. >>. [inaudible question] >> april, i think you know what i think. the fact that we make it this challenging for law enforcement for example even to get, to get alerted that

somebody who they are watching has purchased a gun and if they do get alerted, sometimes it's hard for them to stop them from getting a gun is crazy. it's a problem. and we, i have to i think we have to do some soul-searching. the danger here is that this ends up being a usual political debate and the nra, the gun-control folks say that oh, obama doesn't want to talk about terrorism and if you talk about terrorism then people say why are you looking into issues of gun-control. the point is that if we have

self radicalized individuals in this country, then they are going to be very difficult oftentimes to find ahead of time and how easy it is for them to obtain weapons is in some cases going to make adifference as to whether they are able to carry out attacks like this or not . and we make it very easy for individuals who are troubled or disturbed or want to engage in these acts to get very powerful weapons very quickly. and that's a problem. it's a problem regardless of themotivation , a problem for a young man who can walk into a church in south carolina and murder nine people who offered to pray with him.

it's a problem when an angry young man on the college campus decides to shoot people because hefeels disrespected . it's certainly a problem when we have organizations like isil or al qaeda or actively trying to promote violence and are doing so very effectively on the internet . because we know that at some point they are going to be out of 300 million people, they're going to be some individuals who find for whatever reason they, that kind of horrible propaganda enticing. and if that happens and that person can get a weapon, that's a problem.

jon: those are the end of the president's comments there after meeting with his national security team, more from the fbi a little later on but you heard what he had to say and we will let you decide, a homicidal madman pills 49 other people and in the middle of the attack, phones 911 and says he was inspired by isis. the isis is a cancer that has the staff society during the obama administration. is the president getting the right answers? are the media asking the right questions? we will take that up with our media panel. >>

thank you. ordering chinese food is a very predictable experience. i order b14. i get b14.

no surprises. buying business internet, on the other hand, can be a roller coaster white knuckle thrill ride. you're promised one speed. but do you consistently get it? you do with comcast business. it's reliable. just like kung pao fish. thank you, ping. reliably fast internet starts at $59.95 a month. comcast business. built for business. as investigators comb through

the crime scene for clues, our leaders look for solutions. president obama called the attack an act of terror and hate but did not use the word radical islam. he rushed us forces out of iraq where isis was born, said he ended the war responsibly there. will the media wait any of the blame or all this at his feet? let's bring in our media panel. alan calls, host of the show syndicated by fox news radio, tammy bruce, fox news radio host and a contributor. i'm going to throw it to you first because i think i know what your answer is that the president does not bear any of the responsibility >> we got it back on bush's timeline, irrelevant to this conversation. this is homegrown, domestic terrorism, somebody was raised in the united states and the notion that somehow because the president didn't use the phrase islamic terrorism and you got from going on about congratulating himself for having called it, saying this would happen, we all know there will be those

these kind of attacks, proud of himself rather than really focusing on what a leader should be doing that the president just did, saying it's not one thing. it sounds, it's terrorism, dealing with isis, it's a whole bunch of things we have to look at and it's a confluence of things but we somehow use this as an attempt to attack someone who didn't say two words they like to see next to each other as if that somehow going to solve the problem is outrageous area it avoids dealing with the issue. jon: military leaders did advise the president to lead 2000 troops in iraq. >> that has nothing to do with this incident. if someone has an anti-gate ideology as we found out here, this is an anti-gay hate crime. someone with a screw loose like that could be set off by anything and just because the president didn't leave enough troops in iraq, were going to connect the dots and how, be outraged to start pointing fingers and blame our leaders at a time when we should express sympathy and care for the families, for those who

suffer and address the issues that need to be addressed on this problem. this shouldn't be finger-pointing time. jon: tammy. >> as a gay woman, i spent yesterday calling my friends in california to make sure i knew where they all were. and as an american, i refuse to have another terrorist attack which happen to be on gay people to be categorized as something different than for good or san bernardino. this is obscene and the fact is it's not just words. this is about identifying who the enemy is and that means you're able to address it. it's the difference if you go into a doctor and he says you have a head cold, head cold is just a word. cancer is just another word but you got to know in order to take the right action. there are 49 innocent people dead, probably more because of the severity of the injuries in the hospital because the bureaucracy of the government headed by barack obama for years now has refused to admit what happened and here's the reason why.

he came in's office saying it was george w. bush's fault and the republicans. to admit now the reality that this has nothing to do with us, that this is about islamist terrorism, that dynamic destroys his entire narrative and as a result people are dying because, it is time to blame leadership. that's what leadership is for. it's to act and do and this is the time ... >> we should never have been going into iraq in the first place. we went into ahornets nest, shook up the middle east and that is what it has brought . [overlapping conversation] >> our current situation has nothing to do with obama but everything to do with george w. bush from 10 years ago. after some consistency.we at least know who we're dealing with and even today as you heard from the president, at one point i heard him make an equivalency between christians and attitudes about gays and what happened in orlando.
