Donald Trump Tweets: Increasing The Threat Of Terrorism? | AM Joy

>>> A TRAVEL BAN WILL BE CANNON FODDER TO THE RECRUITERS.
IT'S THE WORST THING WE CAN DO. BUT WE DO NEED TO DO -- AND WE
DO EXTRAORDINARY SCREENING, BUT A GREATS DEAL MORE EFFORT HAS TO
GO INTO THE BUILDING OF COMMUNITY, OF REACHING OUT AND
WORKING WITH THESE ENTITIES, WITH THESE SECTORS OF SOCIETY.
SO THAT THERE'S NOT AS SIGNIFICANT A GAP AS THERE IS IN
MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD, NOT JUST IN BRITAIN.
>> WE ARE BACK WITH BREAKING NEWS COVERAGE OF THE DEADLY
TERRORIST ATTACK IN LONDON WHICH LEFT SEVEN DEAD AND 48 INJURED.
THAT WAS FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN KERRY OFFERING HIS
CONDOLENCES.
DEANE OBEIDALLAH IS BACK WITH ME.
AND LET'S GO AROUND AND TALK TO EACH OF YOU.
I'LL START WITH YOU. WE JUST HEARD FROM JOHN KERRY
TALKING ABOUT WHAT WORK, AND LET'S HAVE ONE MORE CLIP OF JOHN
KERRY TALKING ABOUT RUSSIA IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
TAKE A LISTEN. >> THEY'VE HAD A LONGSTANDING
PROBLEM WITH RESPECT TO GREATER LEVELS OF ALIENATION, A HARDER
TIME ASSIMILATING INTO THE BROADER SOCIETY.
A LACK OF SIMILAR OPPORTUNITY. SO THERE ARE A LOT OF
INGREDIENTS. AND I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT TO HER
AND TO THEM TO SORT THAT OUT, PARTICULARLY FIVE DAYS BEFORE AN
ELECTION. >> AND NAIRE, BY HER, HE MET
THERESA MAY. PART OF THE CHALLENGE TO MISS
MAY WAS THAT SHE WAS THE HOME SECRETARY, SO A LOT OF THIS
LANDS AT HER DOOR STEP. HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT THESE
SUCCESSIVE ATTACKS MAY IMPACT THE RESPONSE OF THE BRITISH
GOVERNMENT AND COULD IT IMPACT THAT ELECTION?
>> WELL, THERE'S CERTAINLY THE POLITICAL RESPONSE.
AND THAT IS MAINTAINING ELECTIONS.
THERE ARE HAVE BEEN CALLING TO SUSPEND THE ELECTIONS, BUT I'M
GLAD THAT THERESA MAY HAS COME OUT AND SAID THAT THE ELECTIONS
NEED TO CONTINUE PARTICULARLY IN TIME THAT THE TERRORISTS ARE
TRYING TO UNDERMINE THEIR ACTIONS.
THERE'S ALSO THE SOCIAL SIDE THAT SHE MENTIONED THE
INTOLERANCE FOR EXTREMISM. THAT HAS BECOME A CHALLENGE FOR
COMMUNITIES PARTICULARLY IN THE
GHETTOIZATION OF IT. WITHIN THAT, WE'VE FOUND SAUDI
INFLUENCE. A VERY EXTREMIST INTERPRETATION
OF ISLAM HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO INVADE THE THINKING OF OTHER
MUSLIM COMMUNITIES. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A
CHALLENGE, PARTICULARLY FOR THE UNITED STATES.
AS DONALD TRUMP JUST CUT A BILLION-DOLLAR ARMS DEAL WITH
THE SAUDI ARABIA GOVERNMENT. I MEAN, THE SAUDIS HAVE BEEN --
THEIR IDEOLOGY HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR MUSLIMS AROUND THE
WORLD. AND IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN ABLE TO SQUARE THE CIRCLE ON THAT.
>> YEAH, JACK PRICE, IT DOES SEEM CONSPICUOUS THAT DONALD
TRUMP MADE GREAT FRIENDED WITH
FRIENDS WITH THE SAUDIS. HE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY ABOUT
THAT? >> NO, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THE PROBLEM IS, ISIS HAS NEVER BEEN AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT.
THE ONLY THING THAT GIVES THEM POWER IS WHEN THE UNITED STATES
AND THE WEST GOES AFTER THEM AND DOES THINGS ABOUT THAT
ANTI-MUSLIM. ANTI-MIDDLE EAST.
ANTI-RACE. ALL.
OTHER ISSUES THAT WE'VE SEEN. IT'S THE OVERREACTION OF THE
WEST THAT WE'VE CONSTANTLY SEEN. THERE'S ANOTHER PIECE TO THIS.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PROBLEM IS UNITED STATES HISTORICALLY, NOT
JUST WITH THIS PRESIDENT, BUT PREVIOUSLY, WE LOVE SUPPORTING
TOTALITARIAN DICTATORS. HENCE, A $110 BILLION DEAL WITH
THE SAUDIS. WHAT WE DID WITH MUBARAK IN
EGYPT. AND WE LOVE TO HAVE STRONGMEN
THAT STOMP DOWN ON THEIR PEOPLE. BUT THE REACTION OVER TIME, THE
IMPACT OVER TIME IS WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE PEOPLE PUSH BACK.
THEY PUSH BACK AGAINST THEIR OWN.
THEY PUSH BACK AGAINST THE WEST AND THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE
THEY KNOW IT'S THE UNITED STATES WHO PUT THEM IN POWER.
IT'S THE UNITED STATES THAT'S OVERTHROWN CERTAIN
DEMOCRATICALLY SUPPORTED GOVERNMENTS IN THOSE REGIONS.
AND WE PUT OUR OWN PEOPLE IN. I THINK UNDER THOSE
CIRCUMSTANCES,S, FRANKLY, NOT A SHOCK THAT PEOPLE ARE ANGRY.
WE NEED TO RECALIBRATE WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE'RE DOING AND
REMEMBER WHAT WE STAND FOR AND NOT JUST USE IT AS A BUMPER
STICKER. >> ONE OF OUR GREATEST ALLIES
WAS WITH GREAT BRITAIN. I WANT TO PLAY MARK WARNER, ON
CNN THIS MORNING, TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THOSE REACTIONS THAT
YOU'VE SEEN. AND THERE'S THE REASSERTION BY
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THAT THERE SHOULD BE A TRAVEL BAN AND
BRITAIN'S REACTION. LISTEN TO MARK WARNER.
>> THERE IS NO SPECIFIC THREAT AGAINST UNITED STATES.
BUT OBVIOUSLY, WE'VE SEEN OUR STRONGEST ALLY HIT THREE TIMES.
OUR HEARTS AND THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THEM.
BUT I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN BRITAIN IS RESOLUTENESS, BUT
ALSO A RECOGNITION AGENCY THE BRITISH WENT THROUGH THREE
DECADES OF IRA-RELATED TERRORISM THEY'LL AREA ON.
IN MANY WAYS THAT'S WHAT WE
NEED TO DO. >> THAT SOUNDS THE WAY AMERICAN
PRESIDENTS RESPOND BUT THAT'S NOT HOW DONALD TRUMP RESPONDED
TO ATTACKS IN LONDON. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
IF DONALD TRUMP'S GOAL WAS TO INCREASE THE RISK EVER TERRORISM
IN THE UNITED STATES HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN DOING A BETTER JOB.
>> I'M SORRY, I HAVE TO BREAK IN.
WE WANT TO GO TO LONDON WHERE AUTHORITIES ARE GIVING AN UPDATE
INTO THE INVESTIGATION ON LAST NIGHT'S TERROR ATTACK.
>> -- THERE, OF COURSE, REMAINS MUMP MORE TO DO.
WE ARE MAKING SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS NOW IN IDENTIFYING THE
THREE ATTACKERS AND CONFIRMING THE FACT THAT THERE WERE NO
OTHER ASPECTS AT THE SCENE WHEN THE ATTACK WAS CARRIED OUT.
WORK IS ONGOING TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT THEM.
ABOUT THEIR CONNECTIONS AND IN FACT WHETHER THEY WERE ASSISTED
OR SUPPORTED BY ANYONE ELSE. AS I THINK YOU'RE AWARE, THE
SEARCH IS ONGOING IN EAST LONDON AND 12 ARRESTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN
MADE. THERE'S CLEARLY MORE TO DO, AND
WE WILL WORK RELENTLESSLY TO GET TO THE FACTS.
WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT THE VENUES DURING THE ATTACK WAS A
WHITE VAN THAT WAS RECENTLY HIRED BY ONE OF THE ATTACKERS.
AS OUR UNDERSTANDING GROWS WE NOW UNDERSTAND THAT LONDON
BRIDGE STARTED THE ATTACK AS HE WENT FROM NORTH TO SOUTH OVER
THE RIVER AND THEN TO A PUBLIC PLACE A FEW MINUTES LATER.
THE MAN LANDED THE PAVEMENT AND COLLIDED WITH PEDESTRIANS BEFORE
ARMED WITH KNIVES CONTINUED INTO THE BOROUGH MARKET AREA AND
STABBING PEOPLE. IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT EIGHT
FIREARMS OFFICERS DISCHARGED THEIR WEAPONS.
OFFICIALS WERE SUBJECT BY INVESTIGATION AND AN INITIAL
ASSESSMENT IS IN THE REGION OF 50 ROUNDS.
50 BULLETS WERE FIRED BY THOSE EIGHT OFFICERS.
THE THREE ATTACKERS WERE SHOT DEAD.
THE SITUATION THAT THESE OFFICERS WERE CONFRONTED WITH IS
CRITICAL. A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.
THREE ARMED MEN WEARING WHAT APPEARED TO BE SUICIDE BELTS.
THEY HAD ALREADY ATTACKED AND KILLED IN THE PUBLIC AND HAD TO
BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. INDEED, I'M NOT SURPRISED THAT
WHEN FACED WITH WHAT THEY MUST HAVE FEARED WERE THREE SUICIDE
BOMBERS. THE OFFICERS FIRED A IMPRESSIVE
AMOUNT TO BE OF COMPLETE CONFIDENCE THAT THEY NEUTRALIZE
THE THREAT THAT THOSE MEN POSED. I'M HUMBLED BY THE BRAVERY OF
OFFICERS WHO RUSHED TOWARDS THE SUICIDE BOMBERS THINKING ONLY OF
OTHERS. AS THE OFFICERS CONTINUE FRONTED
THE TERRORISTS, A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC ALSO SUFFERED A GUNSHOT
WOUND. ALTHOUGH THE INJURIES ARE NOT
CRITICALLY MAJOR, THEY'RE RECEIVING MEDICAL ATTEMPT AND WE
ARE, OF COURSE, BEING UPDATED ON THAT.
SEVEN PEOPLE HAVING BEEN KILLED IN ADDITION TO THE THREE
ATTACKERS WORK TO INFORM THE NEXT KIN OF THE VICTIMS IS
ONGOING. AND THIS MAY TAKE SOME TIME AS
WE BELIEVE SOME OF THE VICTIMS ARE FROM ABROAD.
ON TOP OF THAT, WE HAVE 36 PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL,
SUFFERING FROM A RANGE OF INJURIES.
SOME OF THESE ARE EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND 21 REMAIN UNTIL
CRITICAL CONDITION. YOU WILL HAVE HEARD TODAY ABOUT
THE BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE WHO SUSTAINED INJURIES IN THE ATTACK
RESPONDING TO THE INCIDENT. I'VE CONFIRMED THOSE ARE NOT DUE
TO THOSE BASED ON THE BOROUGH, WHO SUFFERED THAT ATTACK.
FORTUNATELY, HE HAS NOT SUFFERED LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES.
HE REMAINS IN THE HOSPITAL. THE INVESTIGATION TEAM IS TAKING
STATEMENTS FROM HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES AND PUT IT ON THE
INCIDENT TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE POLICE.
A CORDON IS IN PLACE AROUND LONDON BRIDGE AND BOROUGH MARKET
AREA. AND WE ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO
AVOID THE AREA WHILE THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES.
THIS IS GOING TO HAVE SOME IMPACT ON TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS IN
THE FIRST PART OF TOMORROW MORNING.
WE ASK EVERYONE TO CHECK WITH THEIR TRAVEL OPERATORS AND SEEK
ALTERNATE ROUTES WHERE NECESSARY.
NOW, THE PUBLIC CAN EXPECT TO SEE ADDITIONAL POLICE BOTH ARMED
AND UNARMED, ACROSS THE CAPITAL OVER THE FORTHCOMING DAYS AND
THE COMING EVENTS ARE BEING REVIEWED.
YOU'LL ALSO SEE INCREASED VISIBLE MEASURES IN ORDER TO
KEEP THE PUBLIC SAFE ON LONDON'S BRIDGES.
FINALLY, I ASK THE PUBLIC TO REMAIN CALM OR VIGILANT, IF YOU
SEE ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS, NO MATTER HOW INSIGNIFICANT YOU
THINK IT MIGHT BE BE, CALL THE POLICE.
999. OR 0800, 789-321.
I'LL TAKE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. --
>> THAT'S MARK ROWLEY, HE'S THE ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER FOR THE
METROPOLITAN POLICE GIVING A NEWS CONFERENCE UPDATING THE
SITUATION IN LONDON. SEVEN DEAD, 48 INJURED.
21 PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
AND ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER ROWLEY NOTING THAT CORDONS WILL
REMAIN IN PLACE AROUND LONDON BRIDGE AND THE BOROUGH MARKET
WHERE THE ATTACKS TOOK PLACE AND WARNING BRITONS NOT TO BE WARNED
BY AND EXPECT ADDITIONAL POLICE. WE KNOW THERE'S A CONCERT IN
MANCHESTER, 2:00 EASTERN STANDARD TIME.
LONDON CERTAINLY ON HIGH ALERT. CERTAINLY A CALM AND MEASURED
RESPONSE TO WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN LONDON.
WE'LL KEEP MONITORING THAT NUMBER.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S NEWSWORTHY, WE'LL BRING IT TO
YOU. AND I INTERRUPTED YOU IN
MIDSENTENCE. I'M GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO FIN
FINISH YOUR THOUGHT AND WHETHER OR NOT
IT'S HELPFUL -- >> I CAN FINISH THAT THOUGHT.
I ACTUALLY WANTED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO SOMETHING YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT IN THE FIRST HOUR, JOY.
TRUMP WANTING TO TALK ABOUT THE TRAVEL BAN.
WITH WE NEED A TRAVEL BAN TO PROTECT US.
OBVIOUSLY, I ACTUALLY THINK BANS LIKE THAT MAKE IT WORSE BECAUSE
IT SENDS A PRETTY CLEAR MESSAGE TO ANGRY DISTRESSED PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD THAT THE U.S. DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU, OR
PROBLEMS OR ENEMY. INTERESTING THING, WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT THE U.S. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PARIS
ACCORD, ABOUT THE THREAT OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
IRONICALLY IF WE THINK THAT THE BIGGEST FEAR OF TERRORISM IN THE
UNITED STATES IS ANGRY OR DISAAFFECTED PEOPLE, CLIMATE
CHANGE IS GOING TO MAKE THAT 1
MILLION TIMES WORTH. MOST CITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST
WILL BE LITERALLY TOO HOT FOR HUMANS TO LIVE IN.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS GOING TO TO F UNBELIEVABLE.
REFUGEE FLOW THAT IS GOING TO MAKE THE SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS
LOOK LIKE SMALL POTATOES. IF WE CARE ABOUT THE LONGER
EFFECT, WE SHOULD BE DOING OUR BEST TO THE IMPACT ON CLIMATE
CHANGE, NOT FIXATING ON PULLING OUT OF THE PARIS ACCORD, HAVING
TRAVEL BANS. IT'S THE EXACT WRONG THING TO
DO. >> IT'S AN EXCELLENT POINT,
DEAN. ROSA MAKES A GOOD POINT.
>> CERTAINLY, 2015, THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HAD A
STUDY THAT CAME OUT ABOUT SECURITY INVOLVED WITH THE PARIS
ACCORD. SO IT'S STUNNING.
>> THAT'S WHY THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AND SECRETARY OF STATE
REX TILLERSON WHO CAME FROM EXXON ARE VOTED FOR STAYING IN.
THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH. >>> COMING UP, DEAR LEADER ISM
