Malala yousufzai is an extraordinarily
courageous young girl she
SPIE miss lee stood up for educating women
in a taliban-controlled areas a
she's a Pakistani student and unfortunately at one point the Taliban
came and shot her in the face as she was going to school
now she survived which is amazing
thank God that she did and she's now recovered
and she was actually up for Nobel Peace Prize
now she didn't win but a lot of people thought she should a1 and
whether she wins or not is not relevant to how incredibly brave she was
she after getting shot in the face she still speaking out well
she was actually in america and went to the white house where she met with Brock
Obama Michelle Obama
and their 15 you year old daughter Malaya
and now most Simon people go to the white house
well they get smitten and I know
democrats certainly do oh my god
all in a lot of the progressive groups that are ones that are based in
Washington
and not get back connect with the with the people anymore know why does it take
to the president oh the president what we look like us we at the Improv which
was amazing
and women all those progressive issues we have the president did you raise any
other I remember that was not the time for
you know of course is the time for it what else are you gonna see the
president
when would be a better time no
when you have the president in the room please for christ sake
asking the tough questions but Malala didn't get this way did
when she was shot in the face initial gonna be intimidated by american
politicians
so on the one hand she thinks President on other hand she challenged them
she said I thank President Obama for the United States work
supporting education in Pakistan and Afghanistan and for Syrian refugees and
she's right about that we have
and missed done some bad things but we're also than those good things
she continues I also expressed my concerns the drone attacks
are fueling terrorism innocent victims are killed in the Zacks
and they lead to resentment among the Pakistani people
if we refocus efforts on education who make a big impact of
lesser heart look last year we started for the first time
this award called her earlier we give to
the person who shows tremendous courage in standing up to authority whatever
authority that might be
challenging the establishment and fighting back for what's right
and what's true much just you couldn't find a better candidate them
Malala for that she won it last year and I love to see that
she is a 16-year-old now has the nerve in the courage to do what
so many here in the united states can do and I remember
when it was Republicans in office was all the same to people would go in and
they would melt all the criticism or George W Bush but the nearby to a white
house so I wear the white other the white okay as mister Bridgers alright
amor Chris Matthews famously say I can't believe bush was sewed
towel snappy with me although he's a year old guy
you know and I'm just well I don't even go to yell but
I felt like I was in the club are you so sad you're so sad
and it takes a 60-year-old like this to show true courage
bless her heart once again Malala yousufzai does it an
in this case she couldn't find a better thing to challenge the president not
president Obama has been terrible on drone strikes
understand drones are a weapon okay
you can are you with a weapon so it's like they're all things about
a war on terror there's no tears a tactic
camel war on a tactic can how war on
a drone the question is how to use the drop so you throw strikes
on high-level al Qaeda terrorists as the administration claims all that would be
one thing
but if you do it on innocent people as is happening in Pakistan our homeland
well then you alienate the entire packs any population which is exactly
what has happened and that's a totally different thing and she's calling it out
as she sees it she sell a president to his face
you're wrong about the drone strikes when you do for example a signature
strike
that's a strike where we have no idea who were killing
we see this some signature activity on the ground
maybe weaponry et cetera and they could be weapons for self-defence it could be
the tribal area
could be waiting they brought to a wedding which happens often we bomb
anyway
without having any idea who it is well that's wrong
sometimes we do double taps where we do a drone strike
on people on first responders going in
to help the wounded and the dead well that's an al Qaeda tactic
it's wrong with al Qaeda does it is wrong when the Taliban doesn't and it's
wrong when we do it
and thank god there's at least one person strong enough brave enough
the challenge to President Obama let's hope
that for a change heedless I doubt it
but let's hope at least someone told them to a space
