we elect ten governors over 60 women to the united states house. we've been able to build a pipe lane to women. it's not just the idea of having women at the table. this is about bringing a woman's perspective, when we have so many issues facing our country that impact women and families, raising the minimum wage, education, it could go on. these are all incredibly important issues for women. and having a woman's voice at that table is critical. it's been an incredibly difficult political climate in washington these days. i don't think anybody would argue with that. but if you look at the last year alone what has been done in the united states senate? whether it's tackling military sexual assault which is senator gillibrand. we've seen women being able to get things done in the united states senate that hadn't been able to get done before. we need more women and that's what this opportunity it. >> you have about a half minute. >> women may be the solution to what people see as the biggest problem in government: gridlock. men are highly combative. t

united states? is the white house going to increase the threat level? >> it is the department of homeland security that is in charge of the threat level. josh earnest said that any questions over that should be directed to them, and there has been no change on that at this point. but there has been one interesting message from norad. that is the u.s.-canadian air defense organization that organizes air defense across the two countries, and it put out a statement saying it is taking adequate and prudent steps to ensure adequate posture to respond quickly to any incidents involving aviation. so there is quite a strong sign from a high authority that authorities are considering the possibility that this could turn out to be more than simply something happening on the ground in ottawa, although there is no indication so far that is the case. >> one of the attacks was at a war memorial. we are getting reports in the u.s. security has been increased at the arlington national cemetery. do you have confirmation of that? >> i cannot confirm that at this point. b
