harm and the level of vigilance we need, needs ot be maintained 24/7 that's a sentiment our former un ambassador john bolton talked about. the next 9/11 in this country will be far more deadly than the first 9/11 he says if we don't change our strategy and deal with fighting terrorists, attacks like what happened in san bernardino and paris are not only imminent they'll be more deadly. it's going to happen again. i was just in new york, i'll give you an example. if you walk down 5th avenue at noontime during the christmas season, one suicide bomber, one could kill 50 or more people. if we can figure it out the terrorists can figure it out too. in addition to ted cruz... carly fiorina and dr. ben carson also addressed the conference via video message.
