Crosstalk: December 15, 2016

Jim Kouri is the founder and CEO of Kouri Associates, a homeland security, public safety and political consulting firm. He's formerly fifth vice-president, now a board member of the National Association of Chiefs of Police. He has also served on the National Drug Task Force and has trained police and security officers throughout the country.

The core of this program deals with threats of upheaval being communicated regarding Inauguration Day on January 20th. One of these involves ISIS. They're declaring war on the U.S. and its allies on that day. Their name for it is 'bloody Friday'.

Kouri feels we'll probably see some type of attack although he doubts it will happen in Washington due to the large amount of security that will be in place. Also, he noted that ISIS never said they would attack the president personally. They just said they're going to launch an attack. That could be anywhere in the nation. He hasn't heard President Obama denouncing this threat.

The second Inauguration Day related threat is domestic in nature. Jim Schneider brought up news that the extreme 'left' is planning the largest political protest in U.S. history for that day. It's called, 'Disrupt J-20'. They're calling for disruptions not only in Washington, D.C. but also calling on people to organize demonstrations in other cities, to organize strikes, have workers call in sick, have students walk out of schools, as well as calling for demonstrations outside of the U.S. at our embassies around the world. In order to encourage people to join them they're offering the provisions of housing, food and even legal assistance.

Kouri believes the Democrats are behind this and that the media knows it in spite of the fact that they can't find anything illegal that President-elect Trump has done. He contends that he's also seen evidence of collusion on the part of the media and the Democratic party to hurt Trump and to help Hillary Clinton.

As this Crosstalk moved along, Kouri commented on much more including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's slant toward Muslims which has led him to blame Trump for anti-Muslim violence. He also commented on two of Trump's appointees--retired Marine General James Mattis for Defense Secretary and Retired General John Kelly for D.H.S. Secretary.
