That could be taking place.
I don't think that's the main threat.
I think the main threat is people that have come here legally and illegally being inspired by media they consume or by seeing social media clips and then saying, now I'm gonna conduct an attack as a lone actor.
Because that's even harder for us to pick up on.
Like cells, when they infiltrate, they have to communicate with each other.
The U.S.
intelligence community and law enforcement were pretty good at infiltrating those cells and detecting them.
It's not 100%.
It could still happen.
But when it's a lone actor and it's someone who's just inspired to take action based on the fact that they shouldn't even be in our country in the first place and they see some media โ
and they take action then, that's hard for us to actually get ahead of and stop until it's too late.
And at the beginning of this conflict, we've already seen several attacks.
There was a guy down in Texas who went into the bar and shot up several people.
I think killed three people, shot several more.
You know, he had an Iran T-shirt on.
That's definitely possible too.
Yeah.
That's certainly possible.
Yeah.
Yeah, I wouldn't rule it out.
