tell from the pictures, then goes on to use a knife that must be a guess around 16 inches. so what you re left with is the sense that how do you stop this? we may be facing this for years. for decades. because while you can protect places like this, you cannot protect against someone being inspired to do something like this on their own. the brits don t like the kind of huge hulking visible security that we ve come to accept in this country. and by that i mean look at our presidential motorcades. the enormous black suvs. the shot we saw of the silver jaguar going down the street was theresa may in a single car not surrounded by anyone. they did want to get her out of parliament, however. and so many ofhe police officers are not armed. yeah. though thankfully there was a semiautomatic long gun in the
voters, mart. i was that s what i was going to ask. let me try did well. that s okay. i have got another one. on the laptop restrictions by the u.s. and the united kingdom. yeah. it certainly sounds like that may have been in response to a specific security threat. what can you take about from the podium in as much specificity as you can, if you can t do specifics, at least help us to understand, are there multiple threats? is there one threat? multiple countries what is going on. yes, yesterday the tsa announced new enhanced measures on flights inbound to the united states from ten of more than 250 countries that have flights coming into the united states that serve ashe last point of departure. i think even the ranking member ofhe house intelligence committee adam schiff who we have not always shared the same point of view with agreed saying
inbound to the united states from ten of more than 250 countries that have flights coming into the united states that serve ashe last point of departure. i think even the ranking member ofhe house intelligence committee adam schiff who we have not always shared the same point of view with agreed saying these steps are necessary and proportional of the threat. we are aware that terrorists continue to target commercial aviation and are progressive in pursuing innovative attacks. based on the information the secretary of homeland security and the tsa administrator determined it is necessary to enhance security procedures for passengers at certain last point of depart your airports. that being said i m not going to going furg than that and i would defer further comment to the tsa. i ll try what i was going to try earlier then. mark meadows speaks like a nice
statement a moment ago he ll see if evidence warrants into this, but all ofhe behavior that we ve seen from the tmp white house and various trump ministration officials suggest that deep investigations are not their friend. and so on the one hand, it looks sort of strange that you have the white house press secretary calling on deeper investigations saying we re not going to comment until that happens, but of course, when you have a president who acts so strangely, the backfill from his aides will be strange and that s the situation we re in right now. back fill from his aides as well from the white house and the administration and also other republicans. you cover the hill, so what is the reaction from republicans in general to the trump claims and how long are they willing to stick with the president? what will it take? well, you know, it s interesting seeing that devon nunes statement telling us that the committee will expand on this current investigation. they already have, but
says, but also making it very possible for us to focus on obama rather than on trump. and what is iconic to me and rather disturbing is that the chief architect of mccarthyism, roy cohen, was donald trump s mentor, advise, close friend. so there is an old saying if you spot it, you got it. so fhe s talking from a positio of knowledge with roy cohen. it s interesting you mentioned that. i was talking with one of my producers about that. is it so until believable though that the obama administration might have monitored the trump campaign? is there precedent for that kind of action in previous administrations? i wanted to be very clear on what triggers a fisa request. and that is that if there is conversation with a foreign government, particularly one that is adversarial to the united states either by an american citizen or a nonamerican citizen, that is at a very low level.
