this is a way to go at radical islam and make it clear it's not islamaphobe i can't. bring it in conformity. steve: yeah, we understand that in the last couple of minutes governor cuomo said that this terrorist was radicalized here in the united states. that's an internet thing; right? or his mosque that we have a reporter at over in new jersey. >> it's probably both. people say, well, we don't know if killers like this were directed or inspired by isis. you know, it really doesn't make any difference because isis is trying to get people to commit acts of terror that it may not directly control by putting it on the internet. ainsley: what about the visa lottery system? it was you the in place to offer low rates of immigration into the u.s. do you think that's a good reason to allow just 50,000 random people to put their name in the hat and win a lottery ticket? >> no. i think it's a ridiculous program, and i think that we're going to do away with this. and i would say at the same time i think we really dodged a bullet with the election of president trump. if hillary c
