if this guy had been an isis guy or a baca haram guy, or things look differently. i think what happens behind the scene is almost the most important thing. i'm not surprised they got him at all, be shocked if they didn't, but the important thing to remember is that everybody's trying to protect the president of the united states and the secret service works very closely with the fbi and they were vetting him with crazy with every data base they have and obviously came up with a conclusion, the reasonable one, that this guy wasn't a big threat, not a big deal. >> danny. >> yes, ma'am. >> i know that obviously what we are told about security, you know, we're not told everything, as you had mentioned, but when we talk about the fences, i'm just reminded by many people have a home security system at their house and when the door opens, you hear a chime. so, i'm just wondering, when it comes to a fence line and somebody getting over a fence, are there any triggers or any kind of alert that happens, somebody if they don't see it, back is turned. you see in the movie, the

one example of this is west african nations who have put aside national differences to combat boko haram. let us build on this good example. we also must look this enemy's ideology in the eyes for what it is, a warped interpretation of islam that threatens all of our people. as his majesty king abdullah ii of jordan has recently said, and i quote, everything they are, everything they do is a blatant violation of my faith, end quote. isis fighters are not all from poor or impoverished communities. many come from middle class or even upper-class background drawn to a utopian vision that is proposed to be based on the koran. muslim partners and leaders of their faith must combat this perverse ideological message and we are grateful that so many have and are ready to take up this responsibility. lastly, in tandem with our aggressive pushback on the ground in multiple countries, we must break isis' ability to break its message and recruit new followers online, a digital caliphate must not flourish in the place of a physical one. as we have seen in attacks in nice, berlin, san bernardino, the

when women are being recruited by isis and boko haram, evidence suggests leaders who want to do more to guard against terrorism and violence should work even harder to help support and enable the participation of women. jumping to conclusions, i will state, clearly, women are not inherently more peaceful than men. that is a stereotype. that belongs in the alternative reality. [laughter] [applause] sec. clinton: but, history does show that when women are at the peace table, they bring together coalitions and work really hard to build consensus. they are the ones most likely to shine a bright light on issues of human rights, transitional justice, national reconciliation and economic renewal. i've seen this. over the years, i worked with the women of northern ireland and watched as they reached across sectarian divides to forge a lasting peace. when that process started back in the 1990's, who would have ever predicted that martin mcguinness, who just passed away , would ever shake hands with queen elizabeth? we've seen the women of liberia force an end to a bloody civil war. if you've
