7:17 am
>> all the briefings i've received indicate there are no specific and credible threats. however, we stopped 99% of this stuff. they only have to be right one time. think -- that's what we're worried about. in the iraqi intelligence warning, they also warned about plots in the united states. and so that's, i think, what intelligence officials, homeland, fbi, now are looking very closely at. we have over 900 investigations actively in the united states. in all 50 states. >> do you believe there are isis sympathizers directed by syria in the united states right now? >> yes, i do. we is have arrested over 70 isis followers over the last year. that's more than one per week. i think europe has a far more serious threat than the united states. we have hundreds of americans who traveled from the united fight and train. 50 of those have come back. those persons are being

monitored as we speak. >> and that has many people concerned about the president's plan to bring in up to 10,000 new refugees from syria. states, alabama and michigan, saying they won't take in syrian refugees. what should be done right now? >> think the president should subpoenaed that program. put a moratorium on it. until we can have assurances. until we vet these individuals. when i talk to the fbi and homeland officials, they don't know who these people are. if we're going to do this, we have to do it right and make sure it's done with security in mind. >> mr. chairman, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you, george. >> we saw dramatic expansion of security over the weekend. at football games over the weekend. >> all around the country, as you said. much more ahead this morning.

we want to go to brad garrett again. an fbi negotiator. now an abc news consultant. seems like there's though rhyme or reason to survive things like this. some people play dead, some run, some attack. any rules here? >> you have to do something. inaction may get you killed. if you're trapped, figure out way to temporarily hide. if that's not going to work, and the last resort, you're going to have to go after the guy doing the shooting. >> but generally, the first thing to do is if you're close the to an exit, take it. >> absolutely. fleeing is the number one thing to do. many times. and i think that is the reason, george, we don't have the bigger numbers we could have had inside that concert hall. because people were able to get out the exits. >> what you have often sand and others have said. in a public place like that, ahead of time, know your exits.
8:15 am
the key is, you don't have to be paranoid. you walk into a room, a mall, a school, wherever it might be. look around. where could i go if something happened. it's about raising your awareness so that becomes automatic as you move around. >> brad, when does it make sense to attack? we remember the story of the americans on the train who brought down the attacker. when does it make sense? >> when you know you're going to be marmd what do you have on you? a pen, a pocket knife, a bottle? whatever you have and this is when numbers are important. if you have three or four people around you, everybody go at him. because what do you have to lose if he's got a weapon pointed at you. the key is, distraction, go for his face, eyes, grown.in. that is the last resort for you.
8:16 am

8:20 am
resources and help them, too. >> age-appropriate is so important. it's didn't for different ages. >> it is. and certainly, they're exposed to things with smartphones and television. we think that because they're exposed, they know on a certain level. keep it simple. answer in a way that doesn't care scare them, but informs them. >> we were talking at how we cope. we're all being inundated with all the information. viewers, us. things like flying. i never worried about. but need to tomorrow. i'm scared. you know? >> here's the thing. terrorism is primarily sij logical. people have lost lives and do not want to discount that. but it's the normalcy. the things you take for granted. you're going for a walk. >> you're going on the subway. >> you're taking your kids out and something could happen to you. that is real. that aftermath. but the focus is to think about your own ways that you keep
8:21 am
yourself safe. think about your own strengths and resources that you have. primarily, your mind. you start feeling the terror or feelings, acknowledge it. but sarks i'm going to be okay. i flew last night from l.a. i had the same feelings. >> you did? >> of course. you look around. you have safety checks. >> brad garrett was saying, you have to -- it's a new reality. >> you bring up good points. we have always heard, the terrorists win if we change our lifestyle. but it's hard not to when you're gripped so soon from something like this happening. >> we can't afford to change our lifestyle. we have to work. our kids have to go to school. it's important to acknowledge the feelings. not what you're thinking but the feelings. focus on what your strengths are. if you need to talk to somebody, call a friend. if you need to pray, pray. if you need to talk to a therapist, talk to a therapist. exercise. find support. cope in healthy ways.
