I he was of course a key player in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and planned to blow up several other.
New York landmarks joining us now to discuss this congressman Peter King good morning to you sir.
-- -- thank you this was concerning initially because many have fear of what will happen -- the Muslim Brotherhood is in charge in Egypt.
How afraid are you now that you've heard him.
Allude to the freeing of a terrorist they convicted terrorist.
Like the blind -- what does this mean to the United States and our position there need.
Yeah this they're very much confirms our worst fears of the Muslim Brotherhood with what she was part of -- part of has said that somehow they've changed a moderated their positions.
The people in the administration want to believe that.
Well he makes a remark like this in his inaugural address.
This to -- shows what his real feelings are you sending a signal to his people he's also sending a signal to the region and I'd really be strong have a challenge the United States.
I believe we have to make it clear that this is not negotiable we're not even gonna tolerate this type of talk and we -- one point eight billion dollars in aid to the egyptians every year.
Out of Egypt wants to -- -- -- serious about working with us in the war against terrorism.
Open upon out on us as any kind of ally.
This type of rhetoric has to stop and we have to make it clear that this is not something that is even on the table and were offended that he brought up part of -- me.
Is that just a terrorist he is idea.
A a mass -- one person who attempted to bring about the murder of thousands of people.
As always he's exceeding killing too many people you know for thirty years we've been you know it has been -- -- so.
Specifically.
What would you I guess is the president and how would have to do this what statements should he make.
I think maybe not the president himself because I don't want him to get to Morse is level with someone very close the president making Korea.
That he or she is speaking for the president for -- government.
Has to public view publicly rebuke -- Has to make it clear.
That we have not tolerating that's and because I'm afraid it was just from anonymous State Department store yeah as someone at a middle level -- -- of those who they it's gonna be looked upon in just a standard response from what we have to make it clear this is unique this is different.
This is an intolerable.
Congressman king is that happening what is happening what are congressmen and women sang about that's what's being done.
Well -- a number of congressman speaking out congresswomen but I don't see very much coming from the administration.
When -- do is you -- anonymous.
Voices saying that you know this is he gonna happen what might even is that not gonna happen he shouldn't even be brought up.
That we would.
Listen to a foreign country saying a mass murders were released at the head of state.
This is up to expect some guy industry corners fast massive friends -- I was hungry at a speed of mass -- only get your take real quickly on Syria what's happening there the UN.
Essentially said yesterday it's time do present day transitional government Hillary again said it's time for -- -- to go.
Will these words ever be met with action is action possible in Syria.
Obvious real hope that -- goes I think is.
Even if he does go a long concerned who's gonna come and -- to him I would hope.
That our intelligence agencies and others -- on the ground are shaping a a new government that there will be much more.
Normal.
Back to work within the region I'm not sure that's happening.
So yes I want -- to go -- -- I was gonna happen after the fact like Libya.
Qaddafi is gone there's still tremendous instability in Libya and there's thousands of weapons floating around the Middle East.
That weren't Libya and now unaccounted for Yahoo! -- -- -- apps like Mubarak to more -- now thank you very much congressman --
