" Witness following a news conference from the the mosque there in Falls Church, Virginia that you were talking bit in the commercial break while you guys who weigh about Patriot Act right and out. What would apply to civilians that does not by the -- the Patriot Act among other things that it does. Requires. That if the intelligence community learns of criminal behavior on the part of someone they've. Learn information about. -- Natalie may they must share with the appropriate prosecutors. Prior to the Patriot Act they couldn't share because it was usually obtained by some means that a court wouldn't -- to be introduced. But it doesn't require them to share with the military. Question that I have a moral obligation to share with the military I would argue yes -- have a legal obligation to share with the military now they don't. I want to give -- patriots -- to take him off you and -- camera to greatness of this site over here because we've been. -- We've been at this online poll and sometimes the -- poll results project sometimes you know the right of the few surprises me a little bit. The question was what do you think motivated the alleged Fort -- shooter. We've gotten so much information that tells us he did not wanna go to war didn't wanna go to war for a long time he would be in the united states military since prior to the attacks of nine elevenths. And did not want to go fight Iraq and Afghanistan thought it was wrong war. When asked why do you think he did 4% said mental illness 5% that is better is scheduled deployment to -- today to the war zone. Terrorism. 83%. Have there been any has there been. Any thing particularly. From what he instead of what he has done to suggest that this terrorism -- example I guess -- if one -- terrorism is defined as two or more acts of violence intended. To change the policy of the government. I don't think he was trying to change the policy of the government. He either was trying to murder people or he was out of control of of his own behavior but I don't think you argued it was trying to change the policy the government was trying to exclude himself. From participating in the policy that the information we messages that he's tried. That he tried in the past and tried repeatedly to get out of this deployment the deployment was scheduled for I think just days away from the attack you know doctors are short -- psychiatrists are in short supply with doctor Muslims are in short supply. Here's a guy who's a physician. A psychiatrist and Muslim and he was his medical school was paid for by the military and was locked -- when they wanted to go enough you have to wonder what this is gonna do for recruiting of Muslims -- within the military community especially the intelligence community they will tell you. They need more than anything. Well educated Muslims to help them. In this fight I mean they are recruiting them. To the ends of the earth and I wondered how badly this will -- as well I think it will hurt but the need them to help want to understand the language and the culture and values and history. We leave the poll open to welcome to go vote it's that foxnews.com slash effort."
