good morning. i'm jose diaz balart. the first focus pragmatic politics or promises broken? it's a real monday this morning in washington as congress heads back to work after the summer recess. immigration will not be on the agenda, it is driving the conversation with the president deciding he'll not abide by the end of the summer time table to issue an executive orders. speaker boehner said -- take a look at the map only one key senate race this year has the hispanic electric trait that breaks 5%. politics aside, the president had to face hispanic critics over the human aspect of this undocumented immigrants facing deportations without any immediate action. something chuck todd asked the president about point-blank on

sunday. >> what do you tell the person who is going to get deported before the election that the decision was essentially made in your hopes of saving a democratic senate? >> that's not the reason. >> to react to this and immigration super panel of sorts the codirector of dream action coalition, frank cherry, the executive director of america's voice, and vice president of immigration policy for the center for american progress all joining me this morning. thank you. er cerica, as a dreamer, your mother is facing deportation as we speak. what do you tell her today and how do we in the world that aren't personally affected by this, to react? >> it's, i mean, it's a tough situation because to me, you know, there's a promise that happened again that, you know, if there is going to be a delay of the announcement to happen after elections, you know, to me

it's just hard to believe now and to trust the president. it is going to, you know, my mom has to turn or go back to i.c.e. on december and so it's a little bit -- i'm getting nervous. i really am. we're fighting other cases on the ground and we're getting i.c.e. is denying more and more cases as we speak. so it's just -- i'm definitely nervous. i've said many times it's personal to me. that's why i'm angry at what happened and i don't think the president realizes he's affecting many lives right now. they're either being deport the or the detention center or have been deported away from their families. >> and, frank, you've been an extremely vocal krit ib for hair inaction on immigration. and had the house accepted the senate bill that was presented over a year ago, these deportations wouldn't be

carrying out today. but the president has consulted with you on this issue. how do you see his decision today? >> well, we're disappointed. the fact is that i was in a meeting with the president on june 30th, in which he essentially promised to take executive action because the house republicans blocked the best chance at immigration reform, legislation in a generation. look, we need comprehensive immigration reform passed through congress to solve the problem. but given that the republicans have blocked it, there's a strong cry for the president to use his authority and to take steps that will protect millions of undocumented immigrants. we shouldn't be deporting people who one day with are going to be eligible for citizenship in the united states. >> this is happening not because of the president. this is happening not because of the president. this is happening, the deportation, 1,100 every day more than 2 million in the last six years, this is happening because of the house of

representatives not wanting to deal with the issue. >> look, i agree, jose. the major culprit in the drama is the house republicans who blobb blocked immigration reform. boehner wouldn't allow the vote to come forward. for many of the latino immigrants and allies, the house republicans are dead to us. but this is a conversation among democrats and progressives and the fact is that the president promised to provide relief. he's delayed it for political reasons. people are upset about that. >> all right. an and angie, why should people feel -- we're talking about the progressives, as frank is saying. those that have supported the president and have seen the impact of no immigration reform in the house and how it has a direct impact on literally tens of thounlsands of people every y in this country. >> yeah, i know. it was a big kick in the teeth to the community.

no doubt. i also think, as i said, it's the guy who said i'm going to propose to you but in a couple of months. ask for a 2 carat ring not a one carat. it's an opportunity to ensure the president goes big. i think he will. i think there's three basic reasons. one, he's looking at his legacy. he's going to be the last two years of his administration. he doesn't want to be remembered as the president with the biggest record of having deported the most number of people. it's not a legacy he wants. i think he's convinced on the legal fip it's a legal measure. the president has the authority to do it and do it big. that's something he's going to want to do. and third. the day after the midterms all we're going to be looking at is 2016. 2016 going into the senate, that senate map is very different. that's where executive action makes a lot of sense. >> but, angie, look, the president is not going to be running in 2016. it probably, or maybe hillary

clinton who has a different relationship with the latino community. . she's been organizing and helping people come out to vote in the latino community for 30 years now. >> that's right. there there's a different political situation there. so the question is why wait now when you say you're going to act? it's the issue of saying you're going to act -- >> look, i agree. i agree. it is, as i said, it was a sucker punch. a punch to the gut to say you're going to do something to a community is, you know, yet again, we're the braids maids and never the bride. i understand that. i think that hillary clinton would support this kind of action. hillary clinton wants to see comprehensive immigration reform done. and the question will be asked of all the candidates. not just of her. and i think it your earlier point who is holding the smoking gun on comprehensive immigration reform? it's republicans. house republicans at that. in the senate every democrat voted for immigration reform and a bunch of republicans did as well. it's the house republicans

they're the ones that have put the death on comprehensive immigration reform. it's the president who is going to act in a way within his authority to do what he can within his bounds to reduce the number of deportations. i think that makes sense. >> and i want to bring it back too erica. all the conversations are important. they're key but we never need to forget that what we're talking about affects real people. many people like your mother and others who have children maybe even born in this country. your mother has been here for more than 16 years and facing probable deportation. how do we live in this country where it seems like there's two different worlds out there. we can talk politics left and rig right, but then we forget sometimes this has real daily impact. >> no, and i agree. i think, you know, this -- i agree with angie that republicans have completely, you

know, disengaged the latino community a long time ago and have been, you know, completely putting their backs giving us -- their back. but at the same time, you know, we can't forget that the president has the use of this strategy of deportation to be able to, you know, try to get republicans on their side. it's not working. fortunately, we have, you know, years later we have almost or more than 2 million deportations now. it's actual lives that are being affected. it's unacceptable to say, you know, it's okay for him to wait after the elections because, you know, it makes sense in politics. it's not acceptable. it is affecting people. and at the end of the day, you know, a lot of latino community do have a family members who are undocumented. many who are citizens who are going to be looking at the elections and midterms. it's going to affect the local races. i can tell you a lot of local races people are not going to feel as engaged to vote as they

did before. because they keep hearing promises being broken by the president. so it's just -- >> frank -- >> it's not a good situation. >> i remember i interviewed candidate obama in 2008. he said he was the candidate for immigration reform. the president, however, used the accompanied minor crisis for the reason for his delay. why, for example, do you think this is not a valid point? the fact is that american public opinion is seeing what is coming across the border with no apparent control. and says, you know, maybe it is time to explain better why we need to have executive order from the white house perspective. >> i think the impact of the arrival of the kids at the border has been exaggerated by democrats. i think they're panicking when they should understand that our fundamentals are strong. the american people want immigration reform. they want understand people here without papers are not going to be deported and rounded up.

nor should they be. it's unamerican and impractical. we need to find a way for them to get legal. i think the democrats panicked on this one and they didn't need to. >> frank, angie, thank you so much for being with me this morning. >> thank you. an important program note. we've been on the air here on msnbc for nearly two months and this issue, this discussion about what to do on immigration gives us the perfect opportunity finally announce our show hashtag. jdbnow. i want your decision. what do you think? we'll have white house adviser on the show later on. what do you want me to ask her? #jdbnow. are republicans just as guilty or more is the president to blame? jdbnow. this somehow is for you. tweet us at jdbmsnbc.

and also developing as we speak. this is something you don't get to see every day. two former presidents from two different parties. there you see them speaking on the same stage on the same issue! former presidents bill clinton and george w. bush at the museum in washington, d.c., to launch a new scholars program at four prshl -- presidential libraries. >> we is a lot to offer. we have become friend in the post presidency. i admire my pal's ability to communicate and to lead. i know, he's -- he wants his library to be relevant in the future as do i. and i know 41 will. i admired president johnson's leadership, and i know these centers and the education -- the university are tremendous

assets. >> we'll have more on this tag team later in the broadcast. but coming up, isis strategy. we know the president is working on a major speech on the issue right now. but what about congress? i'll ask a member of the foreign affairs committee will air strikes in syria are part of the answer. guys! you're not gonna believe this! watch this. sam always gives you the good news in person, bad news in email. good news -- fedex has flat rate shipping. it's called fedex one rate. and it's affordable. sounds great.

we're getting fresh reminders this morning of the growing threat from the islamic threat group isis two days before president obama giving a major speech to unveil his strategy to confront the group. the barbaric killer of two american journalists continue to do horrible things. they attacked a river side town north of baghdad killing 17 and wounding dozen mores.

the terror group put out another graphic video showing its men humiliating and killing 200 syria troops. the u.s. continues to pound isis targets in iraq. they launched several air strikes taking out several armored vehicle, a bunker, and a check point. tomorrow the president will meet with congressional leaders. the fight could be a long process and extend to the next administration. >> over the course of months, we are going to be able to not just blunt the momentum of isil, we're going systemically degrade their capabilities. we're going shrink the territory they control. and ultimately, we'll defeat them. >> as the u.s. weighs air strikes in sir why, with potential targets could include leadership, weapons supply and

training camp. the president said the strategy will not include boots on the ground. something some republicans continue to push for. >> you're not going to beat them by remote control. we're going have some exposure. we're talking about intelligence services and capability soldiers not being army units 101st and things like that. >> let's bring in congresswoman karen bass, a member of the foreign affairs committee. good to see you this morning. >> thank you. thank you for having me on. >> i want your reaction, first, what you heard from house intelligence committee chairman mike rogers. what do you think? >> first of all, i think that some of my colleagues in congress, if they were to have it their way, we would have boots on the ground in over a dozen countries. i don't think that's appropriate to say right now. let me tell you i was encouraged resolution from the arab league saying they were in support of what was going to take place, but i want to know specifically what that is going to be. what is their support? what will it entail?

maybe boots on the ground will not be u.s. boots on the ground. maybe it will be from another country. i'm anxious we're back after five weeks. i'm looking forward to hearings and classified briefings to find out what is going on. >> what do you think the president needs to say tomorrow when he addresses the nation on wednesday, i should say? >> i think one of the most important things for him to say is to really detail the country as they're going to come to the table. i know, the whole world is looking at isis with horror. just when you think you've seen enough you see what you reported on a few minutes ago. 250 people being executed is horrible. so everybody knows they need to be stopped. but i think it's going to be important for the president to say exactly what steps need to be taken, but very, very important who is going to be at the table? which countries. in particular which arab countries and what specifically will they do? >> and secretary john kerry is

in the middle east. and chuck hagel is meeting with turkish leaders today to discuss their possible role in fighting isis. how important, for example, do you think arab league. they've had close ties with syria. what do you think turkey, should, our could be doing? >> i think that everybody needs to be come to the table. and turkey has been in support of us and our involvement in iraq and they have provided logistical support. i think now it's a question of stepping up. i think it's going to be of interest to see exactly what role they're going to play. can i tell you something else i'm concerned about? >> sure. >> that's the fact we have u.s. citizens and british citizens that are involved. one of the things that i'm hoping that we're going to drill down about this week is what is causing this? what is contributing to u.s. citizens going over and joining isis? i want to drill down there and stop that from happening. i think it's really important

that we look at the root causes of their participation and we figure out with a we need to do to intervene and stop that. >> congresswoman, you and i are thinking the same exact thing! as a matter of fact, coming up on this hour we'll bore into that specific thing you brought up. it's key american possible involvement and how to fight it. thank you, congresswoman, karen bass for being with me. i appreciate your time. and another note from overseas. this time from eastern ukraine. cease-fire is still in place this morning despite shelling near donetsk threatening the troops. ukrainian poroshenko announced he'll visit the port city of mariupol. coming up we'll move the conversation beyond the beltway. we'll go to los angeles to see how one local leader to mike sure more americans aren't recruited to the isis fight. the congresswoman brought it up

and we're going it talk about. . regardless of inaction in washington, the fight on the front lines of the immigration debate continue. i'll talk to a pastor offering an undocumented immigrant sanctuary in his church. i've always loved exploring and looking for something better. that's the way i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding.

while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. it's monday. a brand new start. your chance to rise and shine. with centurylink as your trusted technology partner, you can do just that. with our visionary cloud infrastructure, global broadband network and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable - secure - agile. and with responsive, dedicated support, we help you shine every day of the week. centurylink your link to what's next. you know....

dealing with the immigration reform and the senate passing a bipartisan bill. how do you see it on the ground? >> families are being torn apart. that's the value that brings us together and to the action. a value that is part of our christian heritage. we're offering sanctuary to luis so his family can stay in close proximity and he will not be deported back to guatemala, which has the fifth highest murder rate in the world. >> you're taking in someone that violated american law. and if he should be deported he should be deported. why are you getting in the way? >> at some point we need to request whether the law itself is unjust. we believe that our immigration system is broken, it is tearing people apart, families apart. the obama administration has -- president obama himself has said that the government should not be in the business of tearing families apart. that's exactly what is happening

right now. especially luis' case. >> who makes the decision of who to stay who to go. should we let everybody who wants to come to the united states to come in and those who broke the law to stay? >> i think there needs to be a process. i don't think there's any doubt there needs to be a process. we need to figure out a way for people who are enscaping untold violence. i cannot imagine. i grew up in orange county. i hasn't experienced the kind of violence and gang warfare that luis was subject to. i think people are coming here because it's the land of refuge. the statute of liberty says come who are oppressed. his family sent him here. i think we need to look differently at how we welcome the people. who want to come and work. they want to come and work. luis wants to work. he wants to be a part of our community.

i want him to be a part of our community. >> reverend eric letterman. we're going to stay in close contact with you. let us know how luis is doing. we'll, of course, speak with you in the coming days and weeks. >> i hope so. thank you. i appreciate the time. >> coming up on this back to work monday. in washington i'll go live to the white house to interview cecilia munoz. we'll be talking about the issue of the president's decision to delay immigration executive orders. why? she'll be with us next. shopping online is as easy as it gets. wouldn't it be great if hiring plumbers, carpenters and even piano tuners were just as simple? thanks to angie's list, now it is. start shopping online from a list of top-rated providers. visit angieslist.com today. he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. when sales rep steve hatfield books at laquinta.com, so he knows exactly when he can prep for his presentation. and when steve is perfectly prepped, ya know what he brings? and that's how you'll increase market share. any questions?

cold. it affects children with asthma the most. the cdc said ten states are asking them for help and colorado alone there are more than 900 cases of children's hospital in aurora. some signs of improvement this morning for american dr. rick sacra. doctors say sacra contacted the illness while working with a pregnant woman at the hospital in liberia. doctors are treating him with the research drug at the nebraska medical center in omaha. flash flood watches in effect today in the desert southwest. moisture pooling up from tropical storm norbert. this is actually already the fifth wettest day on record in phoenix. the flooding yesterday caused roads to close and damaged cars. in northern california, the opposite problem. hikers had to be evacuated from yosemite national park because a

wild fire. 100 people were lifted out the park. officials believe lightning sparked the bush fire in july but exploded out of control yesterday burning at least 700 acres. we go back to the issue we've been talking about since the beginning of the broadcast to the white house to the president's decision to delay his executive action on immigration until a future time. here is some of what he said. >> i intend to adopt the recommendations without further delay. i suspect that this will be part of my reading. take a look at some of the spechbs we've looked at and make the announcement soon. the politics did shift mid summer because the problem. i want to spend some time -- i want to make sure the public understands why we're doing it and why it's the right thing for

the american people and economy. >> that's president obama in his own words. a summer that began with a promise on executive action for immigration, a hope for many, abruptly gave away to their frustration over the weekend. i want to bring in cecilia munoz. thank you for being with us this morning. i appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me. >> we've been together at the white house when the president told me personally as president he's not a king. but he recently, as recently as last friday, was talking about fulfilling his promise to act. why did he decide to delay? >> well, so the most important thing is that he doesn't have to act and he'll do it by the end of the year. it's true we're in a highly politicized environment right now. the situation at the border that happened over the summer has been heavily exploited by folks on the other side of the aisle. and as you heard the president say, he wants an opportunity to explain to the american public what happening at the border. explain why the executive actions he's going take because

congress failed to act make sense. and he wants to preserve his ability to move forward on executive action and make sure we can have the immigration debate this country deserves that results in action by the united states congress. because that's the way to get to a permanent solution. thinking about all those things and be delaying for a few weeks until after the political season. he'll act by the end of the year. >> cecilia, why do that now? why when he was dealing with nato he said i'm going to be reading about this on the flight home. in other words, a lot of people are wondering why did he then in the summer say at the end of the summer i'm going act and then kind of not give us any indication he was changing his mind until, well, yesterday? >> well, let's look at what changed. earlier this year we were dealing with house of representatives and the speaker of the house that was weighing out principles for an immigration reform debate that was talking about bringing a bill up from a bipartisan vote. we believe if they had brought a bill up immigration reform would have passed. instead, what we've got in july

was a republican house that the only thing they passed with respect to immigration has to do with deporting dreamers. young people brought to the country as infants and small children who know no other country but this one. it's a pretty profound change. that demonstrates the kind of political maelstrom we're in. the president didn't want to throw this into the political maelstrom. it will be easier to protect the action he takes, and it will also ensure that we're still on a course to try to get the congress and act and do fulfill their responsibility here and pass a bipartisan immigration reform like the senate did over a year ago. >> back to the timing issue. the house went on break in the 31st of july. we're on the 8th of september. what changed between the 28th of july and the 7th of september that caused the president to put the brakes on something he decided to announce he was going to do before the end of summer? >> well, that political dynamic

i described is what changed. we went from a situation where the house was talking about passing a bill to a situation where the only thing the house could do was attack young people and dreamers. and we have house of representatives and a republican congress that is really trying to politicize what happened at the border, politicize the issue overall in a way that lend itself to the public itsing and gra grasping. the situation at the border, in fact, is improving. and the president said he wants an opportunity to talk people through it. >> and -- >> people trying to enter the united states hasn't been this low since the 1970s, for example, he doesn't want to have this be part of a political football any further. he wants to make sure that when he acts, he can protect it and that we can get on with the immigration reform debate this country deserves. >> what would you tell erica, so many of the dreamers that hoped

the president would act so maybe in erica's case the mother may not be deported and the frank sherries of immigration that support immigration reform and feel as though they have been, well, kicked in the teeth, to use a term we heard this morning on the program. >> i have spoken with some of them. what i have said, look, the president wants the same things you want. he wants an immigration reform bill that does what is right for the country. he wants to protect the relief that erica andiola got, and wants to make sure that whatever action he takes is well understood and effective. lasting as it could be. ultimately what he wants and what they want an immigration reform bill that will pass with a strong bipartisan vote. he's keeping the eye on the ball. he's asking them to wait a few weeks. and we all need to be on the same page making sure we do what is in the best interest of the country forward an immigration

debate that will result in bipartisan action. >> and we are very clear on the fact that erica and owe wiiola looking at 3,000 deportations every day. so many people feel so passionate about this issue. because it is affecting many, many people. >> the emotion on this is very high for completely understandable reasons. frankly, the president shares that emotion as do i. it's important for folks to know the enforcement priorities that the administration put forward that dhs is carrying out are focussed on people in the interior who are convicted of serious crimes and recent arrivals. it is fair to say that, yes, we're going to continue to enforce the law. that's focussed on people convicted of serious crimes and people who are recently entered the united states. that's the priority and that's the action people can expect over the intervening weeks. >> with bureaucracy so huge, you have the luis' of the world in a

church in arizona about to be deported when he's been here for six years. we'll talk more about this, cecilia. i thank you for your time. i appreciate you being on with me this morning. >> always pleasure, jose. thank you. i want to bring in political analy analyst and republican strategies former spokesperson for george w. bush. thank you for being with me this morning. what is your reaction what you heard from cecilia? >> i think there's a lot of truth to the fact that the immigration reform should be bipartisan and unfortunately, congress hasn't been able to solve the problem. with that being said, there's an issue if he takes this executive action, which it clearly looks like he's going take, it's going to cause a constitutional uproar in terms of people saying, you know, republicans in particular and those in his own party democrats in his own party saying that this is bypasses

over the constitution. she mentioned something after the political season. clearly the president's addit-- decision to do this is political. there are those democrats in the swing states who are basically pushing the panic button saying please, mr. president, do not go forward with this executive action decision. >> and, karen, you heard the president tell chuck todd yesterday. it's not about politics. it's not about 2014. what it it about? >> well, it's not going to be about, i think, the politics of 2016. couple of things. the fact that conservatives so shamefully utilized what was happening at the border. we know that five children who were returned back to their home countries who had come here seeking asylum have been murdered since they returned home. the fact that kind of, you know, these children coming here for asylum was used to sort of race,

bait, and scare up those who 0 possess -- oppose immigration reform was shameful. we need to be clear that republicans in congress had an opportunity a year ago to sign on the senate bill. most believe if it would have been put on the house floor it would have passed. we're shift together politics of 2016, if the president does this after the 2014 election, before the end of the year, then republicans are in the position of having to say do you want to be the party that is taking this away from 11 million undocumented immigrants. >> karen -- >> in the context of a 2016 election. i don't think they're going to want to do that. >> here is a point. and luis told me this. if republicans kill immigration reform in the house and the democrats were the one that pressured the president into delaying it. it's not a republicans calling the president saying wait until after the election. these are democrats including

two senators, for example, that came out publicly but a lot of people who didn't have the hard face to say publicly we're telling him in hiding in private not to do it. >> right. and look, i don't disagree. i was frustrated when he said june 30th and that seemed to shift. there was going to be politics around this decision. so i, myself, i'm with you, jose. i don't understand why now we're worried about the politics. if you wait until the end of the summer. it was going to be a political factor in the context of an election. i'm not sure, i mean, yes some of the dynamics changed. i think sitting into the summer wasn't a problem. i would like to see the president act sooner. i would like to see him not wait on republicans in congress. i think it was clear that john boehner does not have control of his kak kus. y -- caucus. i think the president should have acted earlier, frankly. >> the president was optimistic. he was. i want to end with you. where are the republicans

standing up now and being clear on what should be happening vis-a-vis immigration reform? where are they and what have they said? i haven't found them? >> they need to come out of the woodwork. this is an issue that now is going to be punted over to the 2016 presidential election. this will be an incredibly big issue for those considering running for president. they'll have to address the issue to their base, be a conservative. which will be in the primary, and then they have to come over and try win over the hispanic voters. right now, they're feeling like the political pods of the democrats. and the fact the issue hasn't been resolved. i think it's imperative for congress to take action in a bipartisan form to really adopt an issue where we're resolving the immigration issue, making sure expired visas are taken care. we deal with the big elephant in the room about dealing with the 11 million undocumented immigrants. >> all right. i'm going have you back. i didn't get the name i asked

like that. a lot of people don't know this for sure, exactly what the policy the president is going to outline will include. certainly the concern about what is happening in the united states is very important. it's very nice to see you this morning, sir. thank you so much. the executive director if the muslim public affairs council. team us about the program you created called safe spaces initiative. >> it's about community empowerment and building healthy community. when we find troubled youth we intervene we don't leave them to themselves or kick them out without trying to rehabilitate tate. it's based on prevention, intervention, then ejection. and partnership with law enforcement. it's based mainly on the understanding that islam is meant and designed for preserving and enjoying life,

not sending young people to death or killing innocent people, which is what isis is trying to do. >> yeah. i mean, when you see the video that isis released of them killing after humiliating 200 syrian troops. it's just chilling. the state department, by the way, put out an extremely graphic video, which it's called "think again: turn away". it shows the brutal nature of isis. the president will unveil a strategy on wednesday. what do you think we can do to help people in the united states understand this is not some hollywood version of a fight for principles. these are terrorists who are doing horrible things >>well, i think that's the main point. i think you hit the nail on the head there. to understand that isis has nothing to do with religion. it's actually a group of thugs lead by a mafia. it's out for destruction. it doesn't care about life where as we, the community, are about

community engagement, about constructive engagement with other religions, about being part of a pluralism. what we want to tell young people who may be lured into the false sense of excitement by isis is that this is just a trap. these leaders of isis are sitting on their empty thrones of self-rich useness and only want to send young people to death or kill innocent people. >> salam, thank you for being with me. i want to have you back. i think it's a conversation we need to continue having. >> thank you. i think what is important is that we, the american muslim community, are that voice of moderation that people keep asking about. we're here and want to work with in partnership with law enforcement and other faith communities. >> we'll have your voice on this program more in the future. thanks. >> thank you. a political odd couple of sorts today teaming up for a good cause.
