they went of an undefended mall. they're taking up all of the oxygen. this is a group that's not doing well. it's guaranteed to true attention to them and it has. >> as you know in minneapolis, st. paul that's got the largest somalia american population in the united states. i assume that that's what they're driving at. >>> yes, wolf, as peter said. this is a shot in the drk pap they need publicity. they're not doing well. they've been driven back lost a lot of land. you know what they're doing is appealing to the young somalia s there who are not assimilated well in minnesota. let's don't forget that minnesota is not the gateway to immigration like new york city and los angeles. what they're hoping for is some lone wolf will find a weapon, attack a mall and they hope to get a lot of mileage out of this. but the fbi said this is not a credible threat. on the other hand that can't account for lone wolves has that haven't popped up on the internet. >> yesterday, jay johnson told gloria gloria borger that it would be wise to be a little extra vigilant. >>

. >> paris undefended, fell like a ripe plum into the nazi basket of conquest. >> in france of june of 1940 in europe world war ii, having already begun just made clearer the urgency of getting a naval air station. the funding was authorized to be $24 million. and by the time they finished was well over $100 million. grew bigger and bigger and thus the need for additional auxiliary fields and there would be five of them in training and it became the largest naval air station not just in the united states but in the world. host: hope you turn in on c-span 2's book tv and c-span 3's american history tv and our focus is corpus christi, texas and check out our cities tour @c-span.org/citiestour. patrick taurel is at the american legal council and want to focus on the president action on illegal immigration. thanks for being with us. guest: good morning. host: i want to step back and ask you from your perspective what are the facts. how many illegal immigrants are in the u.s. right now? guest: according to d.h.s. estimates, 11 million. host: how many have been here and arrived over the last

. >> because they are attacking positions that are undefended.i seeing a barrage of ads making the exact point you made? 22 times. by the way nobody is asking the american people are you okay with having the position change? no one is checking in with the population. republicans can win this argument and are not trying. >> if you look at the way that the republicans have acted in this the point that democrats are acting like a minority. enra republicans haven't been acting like a majority. if they signal they are willing to fight to push the seven democrats who raised questions about the president's executive action to try to convince others to make a case to have a fight and make a stand. the reason that they didn't do it i think goes to the second point is the media. the point that you just made talking to tucker the president has said this 22 times seven democrats expressed reservations those have been virtually absent from the coverage of this story going back months. after the judge's ruling last week i read everything i could read literally

you cannot leave people undefended like that. they have the ability to try to save their lives.ed in the eastern edge is heroic. the world is not see what is happening, not really very but they have a right to not be so fearful, putting nuclear weapons aside. they deserve a right to be able to build her own country and defend themselves. host: here is robert from ohio. independent line. guest: you are one of the most honest persons in washington. i agree with you on energy independent. i think we should try to give them the energy they needed so they could become independent from russia. i would like to see the pipeline go through and see federal land is opened up for energy development, just all kinds of energy we could ship over to europe and make them independent from russia. i like your ideas on that. i know you are energy independent, but the party seems to put roadblocks about the pipeline and federal lands. it has always been private land deducing energy. we have got i do not know, 30% of our lands are in federal hands. look at all the energy. we could do it safely, i am

but so that they can communicate last year there is a severe loss of life you cannot leave people undefended like that. they have the ability to try to save their own life. what is happening is heroic. but they have right not to be so fearful as a takeoff of military 12 times their size. they deserved the right to to defend themselves. >> host: independent mind good morning. >> caller: one of the most honest people in washington and i agree with you that we should try to furnish them with the energy that they need. i would like to see the pipeline go through and the rest open up so there's all kinds of energy we could make them independent from russia. i'd very want energy independence. but there seems to be roadblocks going up. and 30 percent of the land is in federal he owns? we could do it safely i am sure. >> thank you for calling and. of ohio has a big refinery region. i sound like a commercial but the peak of the marathon , the natural gas pipelines coming through the region. we have massive discoveries along the parade makes it is the shortest distance to northern europe. with all the

they ended up attacking an undefended mall. this is a group that is not doing well.esn't have a support network in the united states. >> there's some that believe al shabab is in some sort of competition with isis or aqap. they are looking for publicity because they don't watt the other groups to get all the attention. do you buy that? >> wolf no i don't. the bottom line is there's an economy that comes about this. a lot of the fighters for all the elements they are mercenaries. they are men that have been trained throughout the years around the world. they are looking to get paid. right now, isis is the one that has the money. aqap has a funding source. i see this as everyone else said. this is a ploy to try to raise their profile, possibly get funding, help their people. i think they are fluttering right now. >> colonel reese, this otheraganda video is designed to teach cubs or young kids islamic principles so they will grow up and become isis militants or fighters if you will. what do you make of this video? >> you know i look at it and this has been out for a cou

and in many ways, i mean, if the american people saw how undefended youundefend ed ukraine is and they have to make the decisions as to how to defend themselves. >> our first -- our call for you this morning bob from california, independent line. bob, you're on. go ahead. >> caller: good morning congresswoman. i have a question. i have a comment that partially probably answers my question. how do we stomach going hat and hand for the 19th time for a peace agreement with mr. putin and absorbing the humiliation of this with a man with no intention and my comment partially answers that, mr. putin has a high approval rating, but they don't have any approval for any military actions by him against ukraine. and i'm wondering if multiple times going hat and hand, it becomes hard for his press-owned country now, c-span has been kicked out all of the independent media has been kicked out, but coming hat and hand with all of the other countries in europe, it becomes hard for them to block that information. and then if military action does break out if might be hard for them to block -- coming ha
