Saudi Arabia gave.
-- 1915.
Of the nineteen hijackers on September the eleventh and soon that country Saudi Arabia we'll get the coveted.
Trusted traveler blessing from our Department of Homeland Security.
You mean people.
Quicker access to the United States to zoom in through customs.
Do they deserve a privilege we don't even give our closest allies -- -- right now is Joseph Connor whose cousin was killed.
In September the eleventh attacks the morning when seasons hasn't what do you think about this I mean this it currently.
Global entry includes.
Canada and Mexico which kind of makes sense and South Korea.
The Netherlands.
But some of our closest allies like Germany France not included and we're gonna extend it to Saudi Arabia.
And not the UK I mean look this is eight to me this is another example those of us being in the pre 9/11 mentality.
Where were.
Jeopardizing the safety of our people for some political game.
What do you think you -- it well you know you have to think about it is Saudi Arabia OK and you know nobody does any deal oil it's the what you think the oil fresh write any Saudi Arabia's biggest exporter of -- it's also the biggest exporter of -- hobby.
Terrorists terrorism or is is that Islam.
And see look at why people make decisions and it seems to me that we're making decision.
That's gonna benefit us -- -- politically or economically and and either way it's it's very dangerous decision Kazaa puts the American people at risk this is.
Not theoretical to -- because not only did you have your cousin Steve -- killed on 9/11 your father was killed back in the day by FA -- terror that's right.
And that I've seen this before that from the father was killed the next 75 by the FA LN.
They rested those guys put them in jail for.
Long sentences of seven years 1999 the clintons with Eric Holder -- deputy attorney general often have released those -- -- terrorists when Hillary was going to be running for senate.
From New York.
And it was to get her some traction with the New York voters.
Now we saw at that time.
He our government officials putting.
Political agenda ahead of the safety the American people and that's why -- -- against Eric holder's confirmation hearing from -- I see a repeat of that we're we're putting politics.
Ahead of our safety.
The other issue that I think about as oil.
If we have to depend on the saudis see the extent that we are putting our own people at risk.
-- our energy policy is -- is totally out of whack and it is our energy is more a national security issue.
And even an economic issue that is so true and that fracking we've got we're sitting on so much.
You know so much so many natural resource -- -- it is just crazy.
Joseph Connor we thank you very much for talking today about how the saudis could be part of the trusted traveler for it's just crazy it is indeed -- -- thank -- Steve -- thank you can.
