John Kelly: ‘I Don’t Know How to Stop’ Homegrown Terrorists

‘I don’t know how to detect that’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KELLY: "There are so many aspects of this terrorist thing. Obviously, you have got the homegrown terrorists. I don’t know how to stop that. I don’t know how to detect that. You have got other terrorist threats that come across the border. I believe, in the case of the murder of the — in the Paris shooting, I believe he was homegrown, but, again, there are so many threats that come in from across border. And it’s essential absolutely to control one’s border. The other thing, John, that has me — keeps me literally awake at night is the threat against aviation. We know that would be the Super Bowl for the terrorists to knock down an airplane in flight, particularly if it was full of Americans. We have taken measures overseas to reduce that threat, but it’s something I watch every day, ask four or five times a day, because there are a number of plots that we’re watching very, very closely. They’re very sophisticated. They’re very threatening. And the number one thing in my mind is to protect the American people. So, we will do that."
