i want to bring back chief justice correspondent pierre thomas, because pierre, in the image that you see of the back of the truck that rammed this crowd on bourbon street, there appears to be a flagpole on the back. what are investigators saying about that? >> well, they're looking at that. obviously, that black symbol can be used as a symbol for isis. it can be. and we're being told that they're at least looking at the possibility of whether this individual, the dead suspect, has any ties to isis. they're also looking at the possibility that this person may have recently entered the country. again, all to be determined. it's a fluid situation. early in the investigation. they're hoping to have some answers to that. also, to give you a sense of the concern, i'm checking with some of my sources and major police departments around the country, and i can tell you they're asking for looking for information about this. some of that is being provided by law enforcement in situations like this. if it's a high enough level event, they will send out information to police departments around th

ended very soon after that pierre was killed at an accident and she was chosen by the faculty at theof paris to take over the laboratory where they had worked together and to step into pierre's teaching responsibility. so that made her the first woman to ever teach at this ancient university. so now she was doubly tripoli world famous because she was the first woman to win a nobel prize in any category now she has directorship of the laboratory and she is on the faculty. so women were drawn to her she was a magnet. she was also mother so she had two very young daughters and fortunately for her, her father-in-law, who was away where, molded to take care the children so she can go to work. the statistic today in this country is 40% of women scientists drop out when they have a child. so she had a lot of family support always how many people, she's my hero. it's her resilience, her attitude, her refusal to give up. one of the most surprising things that i discovered was the way she responded to the outbreak of the first world war which was to say this is the first time that x-rays will

we need an optimistic view of the future and pierre is not offering that. i look forward to the fight as progressives across this country stand up for the kind of vision for a better country that canadians have always carried, despite the tremendous pressures around the world to think smaller, to veer towards the hard right and be less ambitious for what we can be and do as a country when the world really needs canada. >> that is not an answer, though. yes or no, is there another leader who could beat him? >> absolutely. [speaking french] >> pierre has a small and wrongheaded vision for the country. even if you accept the premise that he has an actual vision, he is calling for stepping back from the fight against climate change. he is saying we shouldn't invest in a more inclusive greener economy and build division between canadians rather than come together to face a future in an ambitious way. that's not the right choice for canadians at all. and i am looking forward to continuing to be part of a progressive movement that looks to advance the future for c

>> well, pierre hit on this. it's much more -- threat actors whether they be foreign intelligence services, terrorist groups, criminal organizations, have embraced the power of the internet. much of the violence that i was just describing is fueled by an online ecosystem that's saturated with conspiracy theories and other content that's specifically placed there to inspire acts of violence and to instruct people on how to carry out these types of attacks. and i think unfortunately, our law enforcement and counterterrorism community has not adapted to the change in threat environment that we're experiencing every day across the nation. >> george: what would that adaptation look like? >> well, first, it's becoming much more aware and studying and analyzing the content that's being placed there by these foreign and domestic threat actors, thinking through how that content could influence physical world activities. the individual who conducted the vehicle ramming attack in new orleans very clearly he was consuming is

then karine jean-pierre took over the briefings every day for two years. the white house press corps became as openly hostile to karine jean-pierre as they have ever been to a white house press secretary, including the famously beleaguered ron ziegler of the nixon white house, who had the impossible press secretary job of trying to defend a criminal president. the white house press corps attacked karine jean-pierre more than they ever attacked ron ziegler because although there are some able and honorable reporters in that room as a group, they have absolutely no sense of balance whatsoever. and as of tonight, there is no white house briefing even scheduled. none. and there is not a single complaint from the white house press corps. they could turn on their cameras and scream at the empty podium and televise that to show their outrage at not being allowed to ask a single question of the white house press secretary, but they would never dare do that in the trump white house. we all know that life isn't fair, and washington certainly isn't fair. and the whit
