intelligence, both on their own volition, but also through our allies who they have regular contact with who might have intelligence that would add further color to what happened inside that consulate of the intelligence community can provide, and will provide that information to the president, to the administration, in terms of a report, and then the u.s. president can make policy decisions based on on that report. not necessarily releaseding all of information that is contained there in, which may be classified, but he certainly could use it to make policy decisions. general, bob bare, former cia official not given to hyperbole was on cnn last night and i will paraphrase, the methods of this crown prince have become unsound and in his view he has to can taken out of has to be taken out of management. his father only has several lucid hours every day. and it is a mess over there. do you concur come. if you go back ten years ago,
time police will be attaching reflective markers to help figure out where a gunman may be located. they will be screened twice in order to get in the area to see the ball drop. while authorities say there is no direct credible threat they want folks to remain vigilant and say, as always, if you see something, say something. bill. okay. athe athena, thanks so much. stay warm out there. let s discuss with james gagliano and security analyst bob bare. if you have never been, it is a marvel of how they get 2 million people into this space, keep them safe, and then clean up just hours after they re gone. this year we are hearing the word unprecedented thrown
