tv The Kelly File FOX News June 15, 2016 6:00pm-7:01pm PDT
6:00 pm
factor. no prepossession. again, thank you for watching us tonight. we're having a big week here we hope you stay with us. please remember the spin stops right here. we are definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight, a fox news exclusive. chilling new details on what orlando terrorist omar mateen was doing as he carried out his massacre pledging his loyalty to isis and threatening more attacks in the days to come. welcome to the kelly file everyone. i'm megyn kelly. moments ago, foxnews.com posting a frightening account put up by the orlando gunman during the terror attack. the report detailing how mateen with his victims lying dead or wounded around him. was not only posting on facebook but also making a series of phone calls, at least 16. making sure the world heard his
6:01 pm
message. this just broke moments ago. trace, what do you see. >> the information in the report is stunning, this is coming to us, of course -- they're talking about the three hours in between the time of the shooting and police went in and killed the actual shooter. we're talking about a bunch of facebook posts. because this guy apparently had five different facebook accounts that were linked to him. i want to start by giving you the first facebook post that was on fox news.com. i pledge my allegiance to isis leader -- may allah accept me. you kill innocent women and children by doing u.s. air strikes, now takes the islamic state vengeance. he posted a short while later. in the next few days you will see attacks from the islamic
6:02 pm
state in the united states of america. and finally, he posted america and russia stop bombing the islamic state. we should note these are all coming from information from the homeland security commission. specifically ron johnson who was given this information. when this attack happened. they quickly took down all of his social media accounts. the homeland security commission was able to revive those accounts which is why they had this information. you mentioned 16 phone calls. that is brand new. as of an hour ago, we heard there were three phone calls made one to 911, one to an unknown person and one to an orlando tv station. the shooter said to him, have you heard about the shootings. yes, we've heard about the shootings. he cut him off saying i'm the shooter, it is me i am the
6:03 pm
shooter he went on to say, this is about isis he pledged his allegiance to isis now we know there were 11 more phone calls made it's unclear exactly to whom. the senate homeland committee did not point that out to us. that's information we are trying to get. we should note that the senate homeland committee as well as senator ron johnson is now sent a letter to facebook asking for more information about the activities of the shooter, the different facebook accounts. we should note by finally saying while this was going on while the hostages were in that bathroom with the shooter, he was searching for the following terms, pulse orlando shooting and he was also searching for information about the san bernardino jihadist couple that killed 13 people back in november. >> just to clarify, it appears he's saying ron johnson, the
6:04 pm
senator is saying he -- these posts were prior to and during the shooting so we're not sure which came which, but he says the final post was this one, in the next few days you will see attacks from the islamic state in the usa. joining me now, a former islamic extremist. good to see you tonight. let's start with that it appears the final post while he was murdering these americans was in the next few days you am see attacks from the islamic state in the u.s. what do you make of what we've just heard? >> i think immediately i'd say it demonstrates that omar mateen no matter for how long a period was clearly a supporter of isis was clearly acting in a way that was inspired by their jihadist ideology. i'm incredulous to the fact -- i
6:05 pm
speak as a liberal, as you know but my fellow liberals seem to be making a big deal about the fact that he was a regular at nightclubs that perhaps he drank, perhaps he had homosexual ten sensecyies. that doesn't prevent somebody sympathizing with the jihadist ideology. to think that it does it fundamentally demonstrates a misunderstanding of the process of radicalization. we know from previous attackers, we know the 911 attackers had visited strip clubs. we know the same in france where the paris attackers got a couple of them. even owned a bar. the process of radicalization can happen quickly, if the sympathies exist in the mind of the attacker. >> what would be the trigger, though. >> that's what people have been looking for. he said -- reportedly celebrated 911, according to his high school classmates when it happened. and -- but then we spoke with people who knew him as a
6:06 pm
professional as recently as 2013 who said i never saw signs of radicalization. his ex-wife said i never saw signs of radicalization. then he gets together with his current wife who had been living in jordanp to 2006 we're told. whose parents came from pakistan she's an american born in california who went with him to buy the guns went with him to buy the bullets, and now tonight we're going to get to her in a minute has apparent livanished. do we tie it to her? how do we figure out how it started? >> unfortunately for us living in europe i'm in london we have experienced this very speedy process of radicalization many times. people within a matter of weeks go from appearing relatively normal to joining, supporting isis and fighting with them. that's one thing isis has done in revolutionizing the process
6:07 pm
of radicalization, they ended up superseded al qaeda as a result. the social media connectivity and what it allows for contacting people and discussing ideas is partly responsible for that. >> human beings are incredibly complicated creatures, we do know that as a child, omar mateen celebrated the 9/11 attacks. his father called the taliban in afghanistan warriors. we know he grew up in an atmosphere where these sorts of things were justified. we also heard from a co-worker, who made some complaints about him, and expressed is that he felt this man should have been dismissed for his extreme views. there was certainly a process occurring. the speed of it in the current day and age with isis doesn't surprise anyone who works in this field. >> right, in 2014 the fbi had contact with him because he was sympathizing with or friendly with a man who went on to become a homicide bomber in syria. they moved on from the case.
6:08 pm
when you look back with 20/20 hindsight, the signs are there. also breaking tonight. the wife of the orlando terrorist vanishing from the radar. as the feds suggest, they may not be bringing charges against her. despite reports that she knew exactly what he was going to do as he walked out the door on saturday night. reports today suggest that omar mateen is on video buying bullets with his wife who's becoming a major focus in this investigation that now stretches coast to coast. she returned to her home under cover of darkness last night. the fbi is now interviewing folks in the california neighborhood where she grew up. >> not only that but she's now reportedly telling investigators that her husband incested he was just going out with friends on saturday. she said she knew different. omar mateen's father had this to say when asked if he knows where his daughter-in-law is. >> who is in this house now? who is in this house across the
6:09 pm
street right now? >> who is there? that's my family and you shouldn't be here. if you are looking for her, she's not there. >> is she in orlando? >> i can't say where she's gone but she's not here. >> we are learning more about omar mateen. he was once interviewed for a documentary about the bp oil spill some six years ago, when he was working as a security guard. >> i'm actually just wondering what's going on here. >> it's for bp like the oil spill. >> is there anyway i could talk to any of the people that are out there working? >> there's people out here but they're all scattered all over the place. >> no one really to talk to. no one gives [ bleep ] here. they're here to get paid. they're hoping for more oil to come out so they'll have more jobs. they want more disaster to happen because that's where the moneymaking is. >> it's all about the money, right? >> yeah, exactly.
6:10 pm
>> back now to trace, with the second part of our story. trace trace. >> the investigation could take weeks, months even years, they're thoroughly probing the killer's second wife. along with visiting her child in the san francisco bay area in a conservative palestinian family the fbi has scoured the home she shared with the shooter, where neighbors now say she kept to herself. listen. >> we didn't see her go in and out much. i see my neighbors leave, go to work pull in and out, i didn't see her a lot. >> apparently she was seen in store surveillance video not yet released that showed her buying ammunition with her husband. she told investigators she knew her husband was planning a jihadist attack and despite saying she tried to stop him, she never contacted police. she could be charged as an accomplice the u.s. attorney says an arrest is not imminent. listen to him.
6:11 pm
>> we do not know when charges will be finalized. to answer your question. we're not sure what charges will be brought or if charges will be brought. >> and now, of course megan, there's the breaking news that we know that 16 phone calls were made during the attack on that nightclub. we only know who he called in four of those phone calls, the question is did he contact his wife at any time during that attack and if so why then did she not contact authorities. if she contacted friends, why did they also not contact authorities. >> she could have been very helpful, what's he been doing in the apartment, have you seen bomb paraphernalia? what have you seen? that could have been a real lead we'll find out more about that soon i'm sure. >> trace, good to see youp. >> joining me now, mia bloom. author of bombshell, women and terrorism.
6:12 pm
mia is a true expert on this topic. thank you for being here tonight. what -- we talked about this after the boston marathon bombing, with the american wife who marry ediedyied saryiedyied tsarnaev. your thoughts? >> we have seen so often across every different kind of terrorist grouch that the families don't come forward, and they don't report what they've seen. even when they have been told 64% of the time in the study that was done by john. a member of the family knew about the plot because the perpetrator told them about the plot. it's really quite shocking that noor is either -- she's a
6:13 pm
conspirator, callous or a coward. none of these descriptions of her are complimentary. >> now she wants to say, okay i was there when he bought guns i feared he might do something, but i didn't know about it even though i had driven him to the pulse nightclub on many occasions. why would a wife be driving her husband to a gay club over and over again. it doesn't add up mia. >> it doesn't. as she has been interrogated by various police officers the story keeps changing. i don't have a great deal of confidence in her all of a sudden now taking control of the victim. we know he did beat and was cruel to his first wife. i think she's going to play the victim card and say, well you know she could have done something. but she was afraid of him, that's why she didn't. >> you know it's so odd to see
6:14 pm
this picture of him and her with their 3-year-old son, and you know you can't help but think as an american citizen, looking at -- how could they? how could he and how could she sit there with their son, do what we know at least he and perhaps she did? >> you know it was something that i looked into. because i wanted to see when we examined the study of lone acted terrorists a member of the family knew specific information about the plot. was it only one group? it wasn't. for example, we know that in the oklahoma city bombing, that terryther james helped him build the bombs. this cross cut every different group you can imagine. families don't come forward, either because they're afraid of getting their family member in trouble or they don't want to
6:15 pm
get themselves in trouble. we need to make a distinction between if we hear something that sounds strange in a fit of anger, versus what noor did, where she acted as an accessory. and also pick willing out the target. >> if that's what happened she will never see that little boy again. i'm sure even though she's off our radar, she's not off the radar of federal law enforcement, who have to be watching her like a hawk. >> great to see you again. >> likewise. there's also breaking news from washington some democrats are trying to rewrite the gun laws, there is a big filibuster of sorts going on right now, we'll show you what they're trying to change. plus in the middle of this terror investigation. the obama administration just quietly announced it is increasing its fast tracking. it's fast tracking the number of refugees coming to america from
6:16 pm
syria. why? why are they doing that? and why are they doing it now? >> don't miss this. you do what it takes to be healthy. but can your multivitamin do more for your immune health? now one a day has the first multivitamin with probiotics to support the 70% of your immune system that's found in your digestive tract. new one a day with probiotics. your multi with more. in a good, clean salad every ingredient

6:18 pm
6:20 pm
terrorist attack on u.s. soil since 9/11. they're ramping up their efforts to bring in refugee ss. the president's deputy national security adviser telling the human rights first we are speeding up the admissions process, without skipping any steps. so far, we've admitted about 3500 syrian refugees more in the last five weeks than in the past seven months no syrian refugees in the united states have been arrested on terror related charges, many don't understand that. members of the own cabinet warned terrorists could infiltrate the refugee ranks.
6:21 pm
>> i don't put it past isil to infiltrate the refugee ranks. >> robert zimmerman is a dnc committee member from new york. good to see you both. >> it doesn't sound like they're increasing the number of syrian refugees. they're speeding it up they want it done by september 30th. it wasn't going as quickly as they would like. they assure us they're not skipping any steps, despite their huge concern that these ranks might be infiltrated by terrorists. your thoughts? >> they're speeding it up and hillary clinton does want to ramp it up. she increases the number of syrian refugee ss by 65%. republicans who oppose this betray our values and want to slam the door on innocent men, women and children. when her husband was president of the united states in the 1990s and tens of thousands of
6:22 pm
haitian refugees tried to seek asylum bill clinton slammed the door on those refugees. he intercepted them at sea, sent them to guantanamo and sent them back because some of them had the hiv virus. hillary clinton thinks we're betraying values -- >> why can't we help the syrian refugees -- this is what mark's people say -- by creating a safe zone outside of the united states. americans may be more comfortable with that solution. >> we're concerned about the safety of our country and our concern about refugees the reality here is when you talk about the administration ramping up its steps, let's be clear, what they're doing, is increasing on every level of our government more staff, more oversight, more security clearances. let's put this in perspective, since 9/11 hit our country, we've taken in 784,000 refugees
6:23 pm
only three have been returned since 9/11. the point that counts is the republican right wing makes america less safe. the chairman of the homeland security committee for the republicans in the house, mike mccall said that in fact donald trump's strategy toward muslims and toward inviting muslims from coming in would be a recruiting tool for isis. we have to be on our guard. >> that's the argument they say, when we support taking in these refugees we undermine the terrorist arguments about the united states. and if we don't support them they become desperate, they turn to unscrupulous people and have you young kids who wrote to president obama saying i was sitting in a refugee camp it got bombed i lost both of my arms and i want to get arms so i can write a letter of thanks to the united states. i mean this -- when we reject the would be terrorists we reject little ahmed as well. >> robert hold on.
6:24 pm
here's the problem, all of us want to help these refugees. anyone who saw the lifeless picture of the toddler who was drawned trying to escape from isis wants to help them. the islamic state is taking advantage of their suffering to try to infiltrate terrorists into the united states. >> no mark the problem -- >> stop interrupting me. >> that's the problem, mark. >> let him finish. and then i'll get to you, robert. >> the problem is the islamic state is trying to infiltrate them and the obama administration has admitted they can't effectively screen them. they lost track of 10,000 people who had terrorist ties who they mistakenly gave visas. they don't know where they are. >> that's a false statement, the fbi director -- >> it's not a false statement. >> they can vet them. >> no. >> the more important point. >> no that's not true but let's not get off the fact. he expressed concern about
6:25 pm
vetting them. >> he did say that the government can in fact vet the refugees and they're getting better at it. >> comb my said we can only query against that which we have collected. if someone has not made a ripple in the pond in syria, in a way that would get our interest. we can query the databases until the cows come home because we have no record of that person robert. that's what comey said. >> as long as we play into this fear and the fear mongering, following donald trump's strategy we endanger our safety become recruiting tools for isis and the country is in fact -- >> i have to go. >> without letting them into the united states. one of the top democrats in congress came out and declared the orlando attack was not about isis or even about terror. but that it was all about gun control. i mean not at all about terror? we'll take you live to the democrats effort to crackdown on gun laws underway at this moment. trump today added to his controversial claims about

6:30 pm
democrats are making a major new push for more gun control, with a lengthy filibuster of sorts in the senate. we have live pictures coming in now as you can see. in the last couple days with south carolina's james clyburn going so ar as to say, it was not about terrorism. >> this is not about isis it's not about any foreign terror. this is about guns in america and whether or not we're going to have some kind of moderation to this second amendment just as we have to the first amendment. >> it's not about isis. >> joining me now, katie and mark. of course it's about isis.
6:31 pm
>> it's about war, hatred and guns. since the year 2004 more than 2000 people who were on terror watch lists -- there's legislation, if it were passed may allow us to catch this guy. >> you know the gun defenders say people end up on the terror watch list all the time. he can't deprive them of their second amendment rights. >> if you learn you're inadvertently on that list go to a judge and get off. in order to fly to new york to do this very to take my clothes off and give my hand sanitizer away before i'm able to board a plane. we know the fbi had two investigations open into this guy, the government can't put a pause on the sale. i don't think americans want that. donald trump has said he doesn't
6:32 pm
want that. >> i think that this is a big opportunity for both sides of the political aisle. i think democrats would be more productive and rather than grandstand on the senate floor in a capital building that is defended with men with rr 15s, they could be cleaning up the terror watch list and terror fly list. we know the watch list is separate from the fly list has a million american names on it many of which have nothing to do with terror. this is not only about protecting second amendment rights it's also about protecting due process before the fact. you get put on one of these lists, it takes an act of congress in the majority of the cases to get you off. >> it is the case. >> i understand that at some point the nra may have handed you a piece of paper and that's what you're reading from if you're accidentally on that list and there are not many people who are, you go to the judge, say, why are you on the list. does not happen often
6:33 pm
enough to allow people who we know are terror suspects to buy guns to protect your second amendment right. >> why don't we have a bill a law that says a cop, a sheriff, a police department can say, you know what omar mateen shouldn't get a gun. he shouldn't get a license. even though nothing came of those two fbi inquiries. we still don't feel okay about it. >> just because you're put on a terror watch list untily their second amendment rights because they're on a list. >> if i could just finish my point 37. >> in terms of cleaning up the list there is a lot of opportunity for both sides to actually get something done. you can't put a million people on a list and expect the government to be able to go through and be efficient. >> with any sort of a speed. >> exactly. that's what came out, he said it was a nightmare to get himself
6:34 pm
off many go ahead, i'll give you the last word. >> i think this is actually an opportunity for both sides to get their act together. should we clean up these lists and make them narrower? of course we should. as long as i have to take my clothes off to get on a plane, when a guy is under terror investigation, let's take a moment -- >> here's what's so frustrating. the democrats are talking about the guns what is the plan what has president obama said he's going to do about this? what is he doing? >> there is actual legislation out there that could -- >> let me give that one to katie. what is he doing? what's being done to change the way we screen these needles in the haystack. >> not a lot. you look at the president's rhetoric and look at his foreign policy over the last 7 1/2 years of his presidency. >> nothing's changed. >> this has nothing to do with isis there in lies the problem. this has to do with isis the killer pledged his allegiance to isis until we decide to take on
6:35 pm
isis where they breed, which is not in the united states but overseas. we will continue to have these problems. >> maybe the two candidates running for office are coming in with plans. do you get the feeling that president obama is like, it's really hard, sorry. i have to go you guys thanks for being here. >> what are you going to do? what's the plan? at least hillary clinton says i'm going to have a committee, they're going to look into home grown terror. you know donald trump has all sorts of plans. are republicans responsible for orlando? is the president of the united states actually supporting the terrorists? dana perino and david french are next on how our political debate got so ugly this week and how it's really dangerous.

my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis made a simple trip to the grocery store anything but simple. so i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear and many saw 75% and even 90% clearance in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections or have flu-like symptoms or sores.

6:40 pm
something going on to explain why the president hasn't been tougher in his view on terrorists. after getting hit for the implications behind that quote, he today tweeted media fell all over themselves criticizing what donald trump may have insinuated about @potus. but he's right. trump links to a breitbart article in this tweet, that he feels confirms his accusations about president obama. tonight we're joined by dana perino and david french on this fight, and more. we go to trace gallagher, with what exactly was in this article tauted by donald trump. trace? >> it all began on fox and friends when donald trump called in to comment about president obama's refusal to say the words islamic terrorism. watch. >> we're led by a man that either is -- is -- is not tough, not smart or he's got something
6:41 pm
else in mind and the something else is mind you know, people can't believe it. >> so you heard him say something else in mind that led the washington post to run the headline donald trump said president obama was involved with the orlando shooting. as 235r as trump was concerned, the damage was done. he barred the newspaper from attending future campaign events saying they had no journalistic integrity. trump sent out a tweet saying there was proof he was right all along about president obama. a link to a breitbart article about a secret intelligence memo that proves the obama administration supported isis. the intel report which surfaced last year is heavily redacted and only partially finished. it does say that in 2012 the west gulf countries and turkey supported the opposition to overthrow syrian president bashar al assad.
6:42 pm
the opposition did later partly become isis while there's an argument that the obama administration ignored warning signs about the rise of isis there is zero evidence to show the administration had a direct hand in supporting or creating isis. >> it's also unclear if the president was ever briefed on the document itself. >> megan? >> trace, thank you. while those on the left say trump is poisoning the political initiative. mr. trump doesn't have the corner on extreme arguments. the new york times editorial board, which today tried to argue that the terror shooting spree can be blamed directly on the republican party. really? >> joining me now, dana perino co-host of the five and the white house president secretary under george w. bush and david french national review staff writer and iraq war veteran. hate crimes don't occur in a vacuum they occur in bigotry where it's allowed to fester.
6:43 pm
this is the state of politics driven by politicians who see prejudice as something to exploit, not extinguish. you have the times saying that about republicans, you have trump suggesting -- you tell me about president obama and why he's not harder on isis and this is at best a missed opportunity, and at worst a disheartening mess. i'll give it to you first, david? >> there's a situation we have right now, when many of our leaders, our pundits, celebrities, when a terror attack happens, they're angrier at their american political opponents than they are at isis. it was remarkable to me that the new york times mentioned the governor of texas, and the governor of north carolina in connection with an isis attack and not the leader of isis. it's remarkable. >> right, like they are anti-lgbt efforts made omar mateen want to shoot gays as opposed to his radical islamic ideology.
6:44 pm
>> which he declared openly pledging allegiance on multiple occasions to isis. we don't really know what motivated it he said what motivated it. >> we do. we have the tweets and the facebook posts at the beginning of the show. i pledge my allegiance to baghdadi. america has to stop bombing the islamic state. you kill innocent women and children by doing u.s. air strikes now taste the revenge answer. there's nothing in here about transgender people in bathrooms. >> we can have a conversation that's normal politics. when you begin to inject this element of very tree ole, that's polarizing beyond anything our political system is supposed to with stand. you look right at the top and it doesn't even feel like there's an effort to unify us right now, right? >> there's been no invitation even the governor of florida said he never got a call from
6:45 pm
president obama. >> i think if there's been a resounding disappointment from the political class all across the board. remember you had during the moment of silence that speaker ryan was hosting for the house of representatives, that turns into a yelling match about gun violence. so who is the victim here? it is the victims who were killed. and their families and they've been almost wholly ignored while the politicians try to fight it out. in the meantime every time a politician opens his mouth, especially the president, his or her, they have a choice to make. and they could try to unify or divide. and it is hard especially if you feel like you've been called a traitor to your country. it's hard to let that go. i think there would have been a way to do that. >> who else would have come out. i would have sent vice president biden out there to be the attack dog. that would have been more unifying for president obama. i don't blame president obama for pushing back what i do

think is when he says it doesn't matter what he calls this effort that radical -- saying the words radical islam is not going to change anything. i can see his point. but what we don't see are more actions. >> that's the thing, that's -- >> and i don't just mean on gun violence. i mean scaring the you know what out of isis. >> what are we doing about this. i haven't heard anything -- what is the plan. >> i think the plan is just more of the same and more of the same is not working. let's look at actual numbers here. since the rise of isis in the late spring or summer of 2014 we've had more than three times the domestic casualties between september 12th 2001 and 2014. more than three times. attacks are occurring about once every four to five months now. it's extraordinary, and his answer is more of the same. >> that doesn't include the innocent people that are being killed in the muslim world as well. >> great to see you both. >> don't go away new developments with the tragic ins didn't with that 2-year-old at

devastated and heartbroken by this tragic accident and are doing what we can to help the family during this difficult time. on behalf of everyone at disney we off our deepest sympathies. authorities say disney has been cooperating. this is the first deadly encounter with an alligator here in 45 years. megyn? >> peter doocy, thank you. joining me now, wildlife expert and communications director at the zoo miami, ron, thank you so much for being here. >> my pleasure megyn. >> this is a tough one. they -- >> absolutely. >> people are worried now alligators could grab anyone. could grab anyone's child. i mean is -- how atypical is this? >> it is atypical megyn. understand that since 1948 i think there's been 140-something alligators attacks recorded in the state of florida. that really isn't a lot when you put it in perspective. having said that there are now over a million alligators in the state of florida and you can assume that there's an alligator
6:54 pm
in almost every fresh water pond lake lagoon canal, within the state. people need to understand that. having said that alligators do not target humans. they have a natural fear of humans. so keeping that natural fear is important. when people are feeding alligators it's a different situation. you lose that natural fear which is why it's against the law. the situation with this child was just a perfect recipe for disaster in the sense it's a small child wading splashing in the water at nighttime. this alligator i'm sure it was a case of mistaken identity. probably thought it was a raccoon, a possum a duck whatever. took that child as an instinct and brought that child down. and i think once realized that it was not a duck was not a possum that's why that was child was eventually probably released. unfortunately it was too late for the child. >> his remains were found in tact. they believe the child died of drowning. was there -- you know, the father fought the alligator. attempted to. to try to save his son. there was no chance. >> there really was no chance megyn. i can tell you, i worked with alligators and crocodiles for over 30 years.

the force and power of their mouths when they close there's no human in the world that can open the mouth of an adult alligate r that wants to keep it closed. the only thing you'd be able to do as an adult in that situation, go for soft points. take your thumbs two intogo into the alligator alligator's eyes punch the snout, it might open its mouth on its own. that's only way you're going to get anything out of the alligator's mouth. >> would you let your child sit on that beach down there at the grand floridian? sit on the sand, not play in the water. >> probably not. not my small child. i would not do that because that's the mode of operations for alligators. they go against the shoreline, go against animals, small children pets. anything that's right on the shoreline is in danger whenever there's an alligator in that area. >> things are going to have to change. that's clear. poor disney, too. you feel for them. you feel so much for this family. thank you so much for being here. >> absolutely. >> all the best to you. >> my pleasure.
