Good morning. Thanks for being here. My name is Casey Daniels. That is Jim. And we have joining us in the studio right now, former special FBI agent, Corey Grass, spent 20 years in counterterrorism, also counterintelligence. And we've got a lot of questions and hopefully you have answers. I wanted to

start off with this report. It came from ABC News. They said that Iran may be activating sleeper cells

outside the country, a little alert. And then just yesterday, Ted Cruz says that the United States should prepare for terrorist

attacks from Iranian sleeper cells located in the country.

Here's Ted Cruz.

Are you concerned about sleeper cells?

There's been discussion of that.

Look, the risk of terrorism right now is quite high.

We tragically saw in Austin, Texas, just last weekend. We saw a terrorist attack. We also saw another terrorist attack in New York City.

There is a heightened danger of terrorism right now, and I will say it is particularly indefensible, that Democrats have shut down the Department of Homeland Security while we are facing an enhanced

terrorist risk. The Department of Homeland Security exists to guard against terrorist attacks.

The danger has never been higher than right now, particularly after four years of open borders under

Joe Biden. We know that radical Islamic terrorists entered this country, and there's a vulnerability

all across this country. It is disgraceful and indefensible for the Democrats to vote party line

not to fund the Department of Homeland Security right now. We need to open it up and fully fund.

Got it. Thank you, sir. Okay, so Ted Cruz is saying that the risk of terrorist attacks within

the country is at an all-time high.

So Corey Grass, former FBI special agent, how does the FBI view the risk of threats like sleeper cells?

Well, good morning and thanks for having me again. I've been retired for three years, but I think I can pretty confidently say that it's the same as it was when I left. It is a high risk. You notice Senator Cruz there responded to her question almost before she could finish her question. He was so emphatic in his knowledge and his belief. So I'd be on the same page. I think there's a high risk, and I'm sure there's a lot of activity right now that has been ramped up to respond to that, that risk as well. How do they, how does the FBI coordinate with other agencies when military

actions like this are happening? Well, one of the great things the FBI does is they have these

task forces that involve state locals and also other federal agencies. I was a part of task force.

The violent crime task force in Miami, Florida, when I was down there and then the Joint Terrorism Task Force here in Indiana. It's made up of a part of task force. It was violent crime task force in Miami, Florida when I was down there and then the joint terrorism task force here in Indiana.
