" I'd tell you thank you have an eighteen apparently they didn't get hit -- attacking another US cargo at that time the Americans that know if I'll run the pirate who were heavily armed and did man at the caught -- damage -- no injuries navy did arrived to help question now is what is -- way to prevent this happening again and again. Joining us from -- of -- morning are evenly out Austin just back from area and the Gaza Strip while talk about your trip into a moment that congressman thanks again for joining morning. Alter -- react that need he'll bring captain Richard Phillips over the weekend after that forty and a."

" I think you'll lose a wonderful example. American heroism on the part of the the captain and the navy seals and -- a great job. However I don't think -- and the the issue and it. We have to look at our abilities of it during the shift. By providing. Security onboard. And now all old working with our international neighbors know that the Chinese the Russians a front. As well I'll -- have -- navy ships in the area. A huge area millions of square miles. But I think we have used some type of coordination. In order to. You know keep them apart from from. Taking advantage and unharmed at an area."

" He can expect and David B it would come at the defense and the need of the cargo at every time like now."

" Right right -- very proposition but I do know we have you know we have on their own satellites in that area there might be awaited coordinate with the opponent. But we we definitely need to take this more seriously I think has been. Easy pickings for -- the Somali pirate an area and because they're completely lawless country is no real authority that we can appeal to there. I think we can expect more of this and in the near future."

" look -- here but talk about your trip that he had a dream got out of -- Syria and he met with president an -- there. And has been taken in about security on Syria Iraq border among other issues that situation improving in. It is in."

" Somewhat. -- to the Iraq border was there and number of times. Now we had a very this problem of a suicide bombers that -- through area right at the Euphrates. Cross and and we -- that area in the path to provide security on their part of the border. And it -- social. I know that Senator Kerry went over a couple of months ago and in and I went over last week. To basically reinforced that matter is that we expect area to live up to respond abilities and shopping -- Oh you know we did get -- positive signs from from president Assad. And I think that at last gambling and direction."

" And got the big guy you minute hearing -- aren't going on over there at the world is aware. Of the conditions in that area congress."

" I doubt it is it is very grim. I think that there are a handful of countries that stepped forward as as donor nations I think there has spent. WR four billion dollars that has been committed to Gaza. But right now there is little there's no viable. Government people don't want to give the money Hamas obvious because of their objectionable. With regard to the Israel. But there is a legitimate humanitarian -- going on -- You know a lot of the buildings have been destroyed. Let's say and has been destroyed a lot of homes without water. -- is pretty ground. I think that the UN at least there is doing an incompetent job all. I think there might be a way to work through UNDP. And a couple of other agent to actually get help on the progress. Yeah slow progress and all that but yeah. -- and -- eventually -- about the the security situation there. And the a lack of travel right thoughtful tell that he they have basically. Imprisoned there is a very difficult situation the Israelis obviously. Worried about their own security by -- got -- a lot of grand children. People that need medical help that I. -- in Gaza right now and that can be allowed to continue and."

" Congressman has -- know that earlier removed as you know always we do appreciate time. Are you making up front in the fox 5 morning thank you GRR. -- toys from Barbie can studio we've got deep."
