Rep Steve King pointed out that if the people responsible are foreigners, we need to rethink our immigration proposals…before finding out who is responsible.

Segment 2
Scary Chart Time. The number of terror attacks in America have been going down in the past few decades. GW Bush is ready to unveil his Bush Library. When asked about the latest problems of today, he avoids ever talking about them because he doesn’t have to think about anything anymore. He’s simply very excited about telling stories of being the president, not about doing the job.
