I mean, I've talked to some of the folks that are working the problem set hard, and they're a lot smarter on it than me.

But just a couple of things that I think are probably worth considering on the response.

Sarah, for sure.

Okay.

I'll buy that one.

Way smarter than that.

And some other folks that kind of work at the state and local levels, you know, one of the things that Sarah and I are trying to do is to travel around and just talk to any state and local leaders who will listen about what is,

very possible as a manifestation of the next terror attack, and to try to give them just threat information, updates on what's actually happening in Afghanistan, what's happening here, and different things that the way this could actually play out, what it could look like as a scenario.

And I talked to you about the October 7 thing.

I do think you're talking about complex attacks

I think you're talking about localized attacks.

Again, where we live, work, and play.

If you, I think, and Massoud said something, I'd love to go back and look at it again, but he said something that was kind of cryptic, but yet not when you were talking to him and you asked him something similar about what does this kind of look like?

And he said, you know, Al-Qaeda's learned a lot.

They've learned a lot.

The Taliban have learned a lot.

And ISIS-K are still very young.

And it would not surprise me at all, you ask me what it looks like, and this is some speculation, but with some synthesis, if you saw ISIS-K or some other organization on the front of it actually conducting the attack with a marionette behind it that goes all the way back to Iran.

and the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, but there's layers of plausible deniability all the way up to ISIS-K, who they could care less.

Their mantra is to usher in the apocalypse.
