I think that's what's at risk.

The things we love the most are the things they're gonna target.

Nothing is off limits.

And I'm just gonna read you a quick quote here.

This is the book I was telling you about, Al Qaeda 2.0.

It's written by William Archer.

He's a former intelligence professional in the British Intelligence Service, plus some other authors that the Transatlantic Intelligence Consortium.

So it's a lot of folks like Sarah who worked this problem set for decades who are on the outside looking in now and are trying to warn us because of their contacts.

And this is a quote.

from the previously thought dead Hamza bin Laden very recently.

What America and its allies fear the most is that we take the battlefield from Kabul, Baghdad, and Gaza to Washington, London, Paris, and Tel Aviv, and to take it to all the American, Jewish, and Western interests in the world.

And this is the emir of Al-Qaeda now, who is married to the daughter of the former commander of the Taliban, you know, saying this openly.

Like, that's not a cryptic message.

That's a declaration, the same way his father made a declaration right before 9-11, you know.

And so I think that, you know, one of the things that I would love to see happen is these conversations are great.

I would love to see more state and local conversations about scenarios and the ways that this could go down.

I'd love to see red cell type conversations where you have state and local law enforcement, response agencies, federal, but then also folks like Sarah Adams and others who are talking to a lot of these individuals and getting very high fidelity information.

that could be of assistance.

You know, Sarah did a check to see if the Department of Homeland Security's If You See Something, Say Something process actually worked.

She had some actual information about terrorist activity that would have been helpful.
