jeh johnson was being reasonable, secretary johnson, in saying, yes, the 10,000 refugees coming over, we should be cautious. there have been tighter restrictions over the past few years since we brought in iraqi refugees. that being said, this is a multi-front war here. this is a modern-day situation where we should be getting -- we should be partnering with tech companies, twitter. we can wire-tap people. why aren't we shutting down these twitter accounts, shutting down these youtube accounts where isis is spreading the message to americans who are being recruited? why are we not being more firm on that? >> john, american is resilient. we have survived. we survived 9/11 economically. >> we'll survive this as well. this is a european problem. it should not be an american problem. we're the largest donor to the u.n. refugee location problem. it cost us $1.1 billion, $16,000 per person last year. think about what we are doing. the lebanon and turkey has a million refugee because they can walk there. what we're doing is actually going out, finding the refugees and we're flying them here,

i caught up with the secretary of homeland security, jeh johnson, to ask him why the u.s. government has taken these additional aviation security measures. >> barbara, the investigation of the crash of 9268 is still under way. not all the facts have come in. as the president said, we cannot at this point rule out the possibility of something nefarious. at the same time we have a group out there, isil, that is claiming responsibility for this. so in light of the current circumstances, what admiral neffiinger and i said we should do is take enhancements to aviation security at foreign airports that are last departure airports with direct flights to the united states. we announced that. we will announce screenings of things in aircraft. we will do examinations and assessments of overseas and continuing to offer our assistance into the investigation. >> what are your concerns about what you see out there about the ability of isis to potentially get a bomb on a plane? whether it's headed for the u.s. or not. but to get a bomb on a plane? >> well, this is why we determined to ta

thank you for bringing us what jeh johnson had to say. >> sure. >> let's talk more about this now with bob baer and cnn global affairs analyst kimberly dozier. you said to me last hour you just don't trust egypt's investigation. that's a problem, because they are leading this. >> it's a problem because, poppy, we don't know what kind of device it was. i've seen nothing to appear in the press or people i've talked to that knows whether it was put on and concealed in a suit case or somebody on the ground staff put it on, that makes a big dir difference, because if the islamic state has a device, it's something we should know as quickly as possible. but the egyptians, it's up to them to reassemble this airplane, put it in a hangar, figure out what this bomb was, if it went off in a particular suitcase and if they can identify the owner of that suitcase, or it was the grounds staff simply stuck in between the suitcases, but this is all crucial to the investigation, very difficult to do, and, frankly, i don't see the egyptians up to it. i'd like to see the fbi in there, for one. >> kimberly

. >> reporter: that is such an important message from jeh johnson considering we're embarking on busiest time of year here in the city. of course the holidays where some people, so many tourists come in to want to enjoy this city. this comes on heels of news just last week a few school districts decided to cancel planned class trips to the city because of concerns over terror threats. that is the latest from times square this morning. juliet, send things back to you. >> teresa, thank you very much. it is 5:07. senator chuck schumer is warning of a major loophole in the federal law that let terrorists buy weapons in the u.s. it sounds crazy but happening. 2000 people on the terror watch list legally purchased guns or explosives what he describes as a terror gap due in large part to the nra. should be simple, anyone on a no-fly list should not be able to purchase weapons. >> under current law, isis bombers, other terrorists, could travel to a state with less restrictive gun laws, walk into a shop, and buy handguns, shotguns, assault arrives, and immediately. >> so senator schummer sighs pu

homeland security secretary jeh johnson saying one of the big concerns now is a copy cat attack. >> we know of no specific credible threat of a paris-like attack directed against the u.s. homeland. we are and we continue to be and have been concerned about copycat-like attacks. >> one of a series of drills that are regularly undertaken by our first responders to ensure that they are ready and are constantly using the best and >> reporter: and commissioner bratton saying the two drills successful. he says they plan to go back now and analyze what happened here and share their findings with cities around the country. pat and gus, back to you. >> lori bordonaro on the lower thank you. >>> no explosives were found aboard a turkish airline flight out of jfk that had to be diverted to canada. the flight carrying 256 people was en route to turkey. authorities got information about the threat around 11:00 after the plane was already in the air. it landed safely in nova scotia. nobody was hurt. this is videofrom inside the plane as authorities had to evacuate the passengers. then canadian inves

so there he is, jeh johnson, the secretary of homeland security with another message to the americanilar to what we heard from president obama in the white house a while ago and both of the men were at the national security meet manage the white house situation room earlier with the fbi director, the president's national security adviser, the attorney general of the united states, the white house counter terrorism adviser, all of them sending the same message, no specific credible threat to the united states homeland, however, be careful. if you see something, say something as you go about the thanksgiving and the holiday travel plans. we have more breaking news coming into cnn. we will take a quick break and much more right after this. >>> a wreath laying ceremony in paris, and the german president angela merkel there, and along with the president of france francois hollande. and he met yesterday with the pt president of the united states, and tomorrow he going to meet with vladimir putin and met with david comeron the british prime minister, and also he will be meeting with the lea

let me just let our viewers know what jeh johnson said over the weekend.s the nation's top homeland security chief, and people can judge the tenor of this, and then you can comment. hold on. here's jeh johnson. >> we want the public to continue to go to public events, celebrate the holiday season, travel, be with their families and the like and to know that law enforcement, our intelligence community, our national security officials are on the job overtime. liz: and he's standing with police commissioner of new york bill bratton who's a brilliant police commissioner. he's worked in l.a., boston, new york twice. gillian, is that enough? i think americans were waiting for a little guidance on that. >> my advice to people would be the secretary is right, don't change your plans based on reaction to the terrorist attacks in paris. we don't want that. it's not in our own national security interest. people should continue to celebrate the holiday season as they normally do. the reality is we're probably going to be safer this year than we have in the past becaus

back with secretary jeh johnson. secretary johnson, our visa waiver program, a lot of people don't know what this is, but if you're in europe you don't apply for a visa, you come to the united states with your passport and you can enter. that could allow in some ways europe's problem tracking foreign fighters with porous borders to become our problem. you're unveiling a new program to enhance security for this visa waiver program. what are you doing? >> jake, this is something we have been focused on, we are focused on and we should be focused on, the visa waiver program is a program that has 38 countries in it. it is a valuable program for lawful trade, commerce, travel, but last year we identified some security enhancements that we thought were necessary. in august i added additional ones to get at the possibility that somebody who has some terrorist affiliation may come here. they have to go through a vetting process even though novin no visa is required. it is something that congress can help us with. a lot of peo

secretary of homeland security jeh johnson has just issued a new order for security measures pending the results of that crash over the sinai. and now we have the latest of what the homeland security has just announced. tell us about it, rene marsh. >> well, this is the first time that we have been hearing from the secretary of homeland security since this plane came down. this is the headline coming from the statement. we will see changes specifically at overseas airports with direct flights to the united states. the department of homeland security jeh johnson saying they are expanding the screening of items on aircraft, they plan on assessing foreign airport security structures, security measures, and then they go on the say that there will be other measures seen and unseen. so not a lot of detail in this statement here. not hearing very dramatic changes, but nonetheless, they are making changes, security changes, enhancing what is already in place at overseas airports. although they don't give a lot of detail, but what can expect most likely more random checks at those overseas ai

please join me in welcoming secretary jeh johnson. >> thank you. thank you, maria, for all the terrific work that you do as our ombudsman. thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for being here today. i recall addressing this conference last year and welcomed the opportunity to come back here. let me provide a few thoughts about where we are, particularly with the implementation of our executive actions. let me begin with something that i said at westminster college in missouri in september. i was honored to give the 56th annual green foundation lecture at westminster college in missouri, in fulton, missouri. the most famous green foundation lecture at westminster was given by winston churchill in 1946. the famous iron curtain speech. in 1954 former president harry truman went to westminster and gave a green foundation lecture. his lecture given during mcor think error, the red scare, was about what hysteria does to us. i decided in my green lecture to use that as the basis for my own remarks. at westminster in september i said, all of us in public office

department of homeland security secretary jeh johnson was in ny to watch the parade, telling new yorkers that terrorism can't prevail if people refuse to be terrorized meanwhile, american astronauts aboard the international space station celebrated the holiday with some candied yams. tim: nearly 47 million americans hit the road this holiday season. them are the country right through the heartland. reporter brad douglas flagged a couple of drivers down in see where their adventures are taking them " reporting, "you i've found that one of the best things about the i-44 rest stop in joplin is. you have an endless supply of off the road and and i found some good ones tonight." steve moffat is from tulsa and he's headed to kansas city. but before he got there he had to pull over because he's got a van full of weak bladders. so who's got the weakest? steve moffat, traveling with dogs, "probably my wife. i'm the one that needs to stop quicker than all of them though so." he's traveling with his three dogs marshal, thao and oscar. and he says transporting dogs are tough when it's hours on end.

i would agree with both mike mccaul and jeh johnson, as far as jeh johnson says there are no credibleeats. that is also what they're saying in new york with bill bratton, who has a very good intelligence operations going on here. on the other hand we don't know what we don't know. considering the world we live in, i would say right now, we can't be hiding or running. we have spotted threats in the past. just last summer, for instance we detected threats against new york city. that was detected at both national level and local level. eastern though they have encrypted apps, we still have ways to find out what they're doing, not as good maybe a year or two ago. the fact we're doing all we can. we have to make a decision, do we go into hiding or employ the best defense we have? if we do see something, let the police know. if the police and fbi see something, let us know. martha: think about the contrast in brussels where they have locked the city down. they're obviously very concerned about abdeslam. the one who is out there. they haven't gotten him yet. look at president where they have

jeh johnson is worried about copycats. and johnson said there is no specific credible threat to the u.s. and americans should go about their normal holiday travel plans and go to the macy's thanksgiving day parade. but be vigilant. if you see something, say something. >> before i let you go. i know this is a show. and people are on edge. we have the holidays coming up. what with people being told? i mean, we have actually -- law enforcement authorities giving not speeching, but they were commenting to the media, from the drill going on, which had people a little bit confused. >> that is right. this had nothing to do with the recent paris attacks but there is a time of heightened sense of urgency. of terrorist threat, especially here in new york city. and they are telling people to go about your daily lives. the mayor and the de blasio and the police commissioner, they have put themselves out there and force on the streets, the hercules tactical teams, making a showing they are prepared, while there is no credible threat, g
