greta, right up front, let me say, well done. they did a tremendous job out there. to answer your question, i d talk a little bit about what still goes on in a board room when you re planning corporate policy. there s always a debate about security. do we have too much? are we scaring passengers? are we this? are we that? you can t have an on-and-off strategy about security. in my opinion, you need follow through. when you have a security policy, you need follow through. one of the mind sets is, it can t happen here. why? it never happen had he here np in effect, i don t do windows, not my job. i sell tickets. . i run my trains, hopefully on time, but i don t do security. so it is an ongoing debate. then there is insight from people saying, it is not a

lots risking his life for those he never even met. as you watch this brave american s story tweet us at #greta: what did you think as you watched that opening? still unbelievable. i still can t believe it i would like to say one thing though. i didn t hold him down. spencer is the one who held him down and choked him. so, i just want to get that straight. well, the three of you worked together and also you had the help of a brit. a brit helped as well? yeah, yeah. he was great. he helped tie him up afterwards and he helped translate for us with the french, which was actually very important because we nobody spoke english on that train. weigh he was actually fantastic. you and your two friends decided to go to europe for
he should. look, paris is lovely in the autumn. he would be more than welcome here. i m sure wherever he went you know, he is such a hero. the other thing, greta, is the french don t forget incidents like that. when i think of my time here in france, i have been to so many memorials of things where americans have come to the fore. remember just last year, greta, the 70th anniversary of d-day. people were still cheering the americans. people don t forget. catherine, thank you very much. i appreciate it. thank you, catherine. and three american heroes stepped up to stop that terror attack. that was in france. could that happen right here on northwestern soil? those three heroes might not be on that next train so how be on that next train so how safe are our
