The Unprecedented Threats to President Trump

After another violent incident near the White House over the holiday weekend, new questions are being raised about the safety of President Trump and the growing threats surrounding the presidency. With this marking the second attempted attack in just one month, concerns are intensifying over whether current security measures are enough. New York Republican Congressman Andrew Garbarino, Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, joins the Rundown to discuss why these threats seem to be escalating and whether we have the resources needed to keep everyone in D.C. safe.

As health officials monitor a string of recent viral outbreaks across the globe, concern is growing over the threat of highly infectious diseases spreading past international borders. Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a physician at the Walter Reed Medical Center, joins to discuss the current Ebola outbreak in Africa, the deep mistrust and lack of resources hampering containment efforts, and how strict U.S. screening protocols and low transmission rates are keeping the risk to Americans low.
