RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

CABRERA: "It’s way too early to go there, period. We don’t have anything confirmed about what the incident is on the London bridge. But the bridge a place of traffic, we — it’s safe to assume it has to do with cars, people who are in that area. You mentioned there was a previous attack in Westminster, the deadliest terror attack in March where someone drove over the Westminster bridge and crashed near parliament. This incident happening right now, unfolding on the London bridge. England on a state of alert following the last attack that happened in Manchester, the big concert bombing following the Ariana Grande concert that happened Monday. It will be two weeks this coming Monday. There’s supposed to be this huge benefit concert in Manchester again tomorrow. Obviously I am assuming that there is a heightened level of security throughout England right now, Tom." 
FUENTES: "No doubt there would be increased security. And there has been particularly since the Manchester attack, because that involved a cell. Multiple people were involved in that. Which means there could be others still throughout the United Kingdom that might be involved with it, or supportive of that attack as opposed to just one lone person that commits one of these. So yes, there is a heightened state of alert based on that attack. Now you have this incident which we don’t know yet if it’s an attack. But certainly, you know, it’s either that or a terrible driver running over 20 or 30 people. Then the reports in addition that have been out there are that there were stabbings involved also. But we don’t have that for sure yet. Of course, when we have an incident happen, it’s all we know from the police. I think we need to give this more time and wait for more information to come out, particularly official information from the metropolitan police."
