former new york city mayor michael bloomberg not part of that. he thinks traveling to israel is perfectly fine. hopped on an el al flight yesterday to do just that. he joins us from israel right now. is this an overreaction on the part of the faa? >> well, i think compared to the security at american airports, security at ben-gurion airport is infinitely better compared to the security getting on and off american airlines, el al security is infinitely better. you got to remember that israel has been under threat since 1948 when it was founded. and so it's always been threats. they take security much more seriously here and on el al and around the world than we do in america. the faa's got a job to do, and i think the faa by and large does a very good job. i've been a big -- i'm a pilot registered by the faa. that's where my license comes from. i think they do a good job. but in this case, i think that if it hadn't been for the malaysian airline disaster, they probably never would have done this, but this is not the same thing. a rocket here, not

i would say this to michael bloomberg. if year not going to deport millions of people, how about we secure the border before millions more come here so we don't have to talk about deporting them. and this idea that we adopt deport children. it's interesting, neil, if you know the history of this, prior to 30 or 40 years ago we deported all kinds of people. we deported family, cesar chavez, walder mondale, dwight eisenhower. these guys are out of touch, and the fact of the matter is no country can survive an open border no economy no culture can survive it. they have closed borders for people who want do come into other countries. they don't tolerate it. only we do. >> it is auld he was coming from jerusalem, backing up a country that is aggressively defending its border, maybe very -- >> for survival. >> what do you think of the possible republican crop of presidential candidates? right now rand paul leading in a lot of polls. what do you think of him? >> i think we have some very, very good ones. you ask me this everytime

you heard michael bloomberg. safe. >> of course they're not going to say it's not safe. >> or perhaps they don't regret either decision. why? because this is exactly their job they need to figure out the best thing with the number one priority above all being the security of citizens, of aircraft, of everyone who's flying into that area. i would say that bloomberg is very passionate about this issue, but i think the fact that he said he doesn't believe it's political lends credibility. he understand that is the faa's job. and by the way, the airlines always have the prerogative, no matter what the faa does to decide -- especially if they think that it's unsafe the same way that delta does. >> we'll have to leave it there. maria, will, thanks for the discussion. i'll be right back. when salesman alan ames books his room at laquinta.com, he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. so he knows exactly when he can check in and power up before his big meeting. and when alan gets all powered up, ya know

new york's former mayor michael bloomberg are on the way right now to demonstrate that he feels flying in and out of israel is safe. >> reporter: it is. he's going to proclaim before he took off that he believes that this is a fine time to come to israel. it's a safe time to travel. that's what israel maintains here, is that if you are punishing someone, it should be hamas, because that's who they say launched the rocket. that's the one who has fired over 2,000 rockets from gaza, so in essence they feel that israel is being punished for what was a terroristic act against them. it hurts them financially, the prestige. to try to help, the government has opened up an airport way to the south, three hours from here by car, it's seen as an option. if there are planes not comfortable landing here and they could land there and be well out of the way of rockets coming from gaza. >>> we want to turn to the developments with the malaysia airlines disaster. the first bodies of the victims arriving in the netherlands a short time ago. >> as the people in that nation mourn, their government getting

in support today, el al, michael bloomberg flew on the israeli airline to show solidarity with israel'seople. are you hearing anything different from israel's officials as the world pressure increases on israel? >> just to speak on the narrow subject of the airline ban, there is outrage in the israeli government on that. they say it's rewarding terror and they want that ban turned over as quickly as possible and they are waiting to see how the faa responds within the next hours, though, because the ban by the faa creates a domino effect among european airlines and now if the faa overturns that decision, israel will follow. i have to say, you referred to my time here. i think that the speed of the killing in gaza among the palestinians is pretty much quicker than any of the past. a number of dead and wounded is happening so quickly. the attack is so intense. but one has to say that israel, when they claim that the reason so many civilians are dying is that hamas is located almost all of their military infrastructure in that area, even though you can say, yes, it's a very densely populate
