00:00 Go ahead.
00:02 John, I was just curious.
00:02 You mentioned Hamas still determined
00:04 to try to carry out any sort of terrorist attack abroad.
00:06 This Thanksgiving week, is there any elevated risk
00:08 of terror attacks here at home?
00:10 And is the White House or NSC doing anything specific?
00:13 Because of the holiday week, most people
00:15 obviously kind of check out in DC.
00:17 I'm just curious, are you staffing up
00:18 in a difference because of the terror threat?
00:22 We're not tracking any specific credible threat here
00:25 at home over the holiday.
00:29 That said, I think you can understand
00:32 we're going to be as vigilant as we have been
00:35 since this conflict began, and certainly make sure
00:38 that we, to the best we can, can identify
00:41 any potential domestic threats and disrupt them before they
00:44 could take place.
00:44 We're watching this all very, very closely
00:46 for spillover effects from the fight between Israel and Hamas,
00:49 both against the Jewish community and, of course,
00:51 the Muslim community here in the United States.
00:53 But again, I'm not tracking any specific credible threat that's
00:57 being acted on at this time.
