Goldberg: Brussels Attacks Really Help Candidates ‘Who Are Trying to Spread Fear’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
WILLIAMS: "Let’s bring in a man whose Twitter feed I was reading last night as he was covering the apac meeting in Washington, D.C. Jeffrey, this is the kind of news that, when we watch the on-and-off inanity of our current presidential campaign you think to yourself, if you cover the world for a living, the world has a funny way of intervening and making everybody serious up. It appears to have happened again. What do you make of this news as we all wake up to it this morning?"
GOLDBERG: "Well, I mean, I have a couple of large thoughts and a couple of small thoughts. I am trying not to think about this in terms of the current American presidential race. It’s a little bit depressing to do, how it’s going to be talked about and probably not some super intelligent ways. The small thought I am having has to do with an immediate concern in America. I have been writing about this for years, about the soft spots of airports. This was done at a ticket counter. And I have been writing that the most dangerous place in American airports is the security line. And so we’re going to have to do some rethinking very quickly about how airports are protected. The larger thought — and again, I try to resist bringing this into American politics, but you can’t help it at this moment. The larger thought is that these attacks really do help those who are trying to spread some fear about the condition of the world."
