50,000 strong. it was the annual new york city halloween parade, where tens of thousands take to the streets in greenwich village. they did so in spite of and perhaps in response to the horrible events today. this parade is crazy. its crazy, outrageous, a celebration of life, today taking on a special sense of poignancy, people we talked to, because of the emotional tragedy, said they came out to march and be a part of this event to be defiant. >> i dont want to live in fear. i dont want to hide...

There were any other messages relaid more quietly from the national security team on the topics you raised. this idea of designating him as an enemy combatant which our own pete williams said was a nonstarter, or on the lack of any sign of unity or any attempt at conveying to the terrorists that we will not be deterred. every president that i can think of sends a message to the terrorists by telling their own publics to go about their lives. if we show our fear, change our lives in any way, they...

Shown that we are aware of at this point. and in the interviews with investigators, and i think between what he yelled when he got out of the car yesterday and the process of this attack, and this note that was found inside the car, its pretty clear exactly who he says he did this attack for. and that he was the person that did it. >> what about the conversations with his wife, tom? >> so we are still trying to assess what is going on with his wife and what that may be. shes initially cooperativ...

Daca dreamer kids who are here and we need to fix, democrats say, before the end of the year. however, i did think you saw republicans taking issue with the speed in which this became a political conversation instead of remaining a conversation about the first responders and the attack we obviously just witnessed less than 24 hours ago. i spoke to congressman peter king who expressed a similar sentiment saying, you know what, lets focus right now on new york and the response there and less on th...

The taliban. but the reality is there is a lot of political repression in the country, a lot of human rights violations. but thankfully if he is going to try to get into this a little bit that will be helpful. >> sandra: the idea of the lone wolf attack. youve heard it called that saying there is no evidence to suggest it was part of a wider plot. at the top of this hour general we ran through all of these types of attacks, trucks used as weapons in these terrorist attacks. is it fair to call th...

>> willie, its interesting. i agree with you basically on the evolution of it. i think a lot of it has been about the internet. and an ability to get beyond the geography where they now dont have to train on a camp. they can put it up on the internet and its spread. they have a very simple playbook, right? rent a car, rent a truck, drive into a crowd. lets not overstate the case either. we had one of the first terrorist attacks in new york, 1993 world trade center bombing, which was just a car d...

You hear uzbekistan, what does that tell you? >> that he comes from an area where weve seen a lot of people leaving to join isis in iraq and syria. uzbekistan has more than 1500 individuals who actually went to iraq and syria to join isis. this is not the first time weve had uz bechlt ks involved in terrorist attacks either inspire bid isis or acting on behalf of isis. in june of 2016, we had the terrorist attack in istanbul airport. that region is a number one region contributing fighters to th...
