CBS News Correspondent Catherine Herridge Predicts a ‘Black Swan Event' in 2024: ‘A National Security Crisis with Unpredictable High Impact' (VIDEO)
[Gateway] During the year-end CBS News correspondents roundtable, Catherine Herridge, the network’s senior investigative correspondent, made a grim prediction for 2024, referring to a potential ’Black Swan event’ — a national security crisis with unpredictable high impact.

A "black swan event" refers to an unpredictable or unforeseen event, typically one with extreme consequences. This term was popularized by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his 2007 book "The Black Swan".
Like a terrorist attack from Illegals pouring across the Southern Border? Naaaahhhh. Couldn't be
Margaret Brennan, moderating the discussion, asked Herridge about her prediction.

Catherine Herridge, a seasoned reporter who has covered national security and intelligence for years, had an unsettling message regarding what the future might hold, especially under the Biden regime.

"Well, mine’s a little dark," she began. "I just feel a lot of concern that 2024 may be the year of a black swan event. This is a national security event with high impact that’s very hard to predict."

She outlined several factors contributing to her prediction. "There are a number of concerns- concerns, I have that factor into that. Not only this sort of enduring, heightened threat level that we’re facing, the wars in Israel, also Ukraine."

Herridge emphasized the internal divisions within the United States, which she believes could create opportunities for adversaries like North Korea, China, and Iran.

"And we’re so divided in this country in ways that we haven’t seen before. And I think that just creates fertile ground for our adversaries like North Korea, China and Iran. And that’s what concerns me most," she added.
You mean like waves of military age men (MAMS) streaming across out Southern border? Or foreign observations balloons transiting our sensitive areas? Or bio warfare disguised as a type of flu? Or a golden BB taking out an aircraft carrier along with 4000 US sailors ?
Responding to Herridge’s comments, Brennan noted the widespread anxiety such predictions could cause. "A lot of people are up at night with that concern, Catherine. At least in this town," Brennan said, highlighting the gravity of Herridge’s warning.

#1 Laying the path for a false flag FBI op to 'delay' the election I see. Listen Democrats, if you go that path, I fear the consequences will be horrendous for everyone that survives.

Such an event, prior to July of the Nov 2024 election, could be, used to claim justification for all types of Nation Emergency edicts & controls.

Controls they will need to negate Civil Rights and Constitutional freedoms.

#7 I suspect Catherine works for a three letter agency. I don’t have a basis for my feeling other than her career path has never made any sense to me.

#8 Thanks for telling me what I already know. What any vaguely sentient being who lived in this country from even 2015 until now knows.

The deep state/commie/globalist faction is going to go the full, no holds barred Daffy Duck Grand Finale. They will do exactly what they think they can get away with and then some.

The only positive sign I think to look for is when their tone changes to tantrum from random threats and destruction. They will look a lot alike at first, but they need to be helped and guided into tantrum mode because it's an admission of defeat.

Oh well, Merry Christmas ALL. 'Happy is he who can say, Tomorrow do your worst for I have lived today'. After all happiness is cryptonite to a commie.

Can't be unpredictable if she predicts it. Maybe she knows something that we don't.

#13 That's my point, they are laying the ground work for it. But I don't think that ends how they think.
