The chief of staff john kelly who has been trying to put a clamp on some of the president s conversations with people outside the white house. hasn t been very successful. thanks very much, jim acosta at the white house. joining us now congressman willard. he s a republican from texas. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. always a pleasure to be on with you. so this van ramming in toronto appears to be a deliberate attack, we re told. what stands out to you from this incident and what s the risk of this type of attack on u.s. soil? well, first and foremost, it s hard for me to imagine waking up and kissing your wife or your husband good-bye or kissing your children good-bye and getting a phone call later in the day saying that they ve been run over by a van or that they re in a hospital. my heart goes out to those families and the families in the hospitals right now. unfortunately this is a tactic we re going to see continue to be used and continue to grow not just in th ....
