Done without having boots on the ground? >> i think it is proof of that. one of the things biden says when we left afghanistan is you could do over the horizon attacks on places to diminish terrorism, and this is a perfect example of it. we have the intelligence, we have the capability. we executed it. the other thing thats important about it is here is a president of the united states who values the intelligence community, the previous guy used to make fun of the cia and the intelligence commun...

If his judgment was so lacking in that moment how might that judgment impact his decisions versus north korea, versus isis, versus anything which is going on in the middle east. so i think this administration does have an identity problem as far as how -- having a way of assuaging peoples fears and giving a sense of calm. all weve seen is chaos instead of calm. and if this is a harbinger of what it will be for this administration in the future well, it will be tough sledding. >> thank you so muc...

Amazing training by those at the hospital. sanjay, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> our minds obviously with those victims and their families. meanwhile, there is breaking news on the shootings. a pledge of allegiance to isis while the attack was under way. our continuing coverage right after this.

Your take from your point of expertise, that the family, the familys attorney, they say that there were no red flags. there were no warning signs. they werent on anyones radar, even those closest to them. no one saw anything coming. >> we hear that time and time again in these cases. often its a family to find out the people self-radicalizining hide it from their families. they distance themselves from their family. perhaps there was some instigation from isis, syria and iraq in this attack? wev...

Libya to meet with senior isis figures who have given them training. and i think the nature of this attack, guns and pretty primitive bombs is consistent with more isis-inspired attacks. people who havent got that training overseas because when they do, we see things like paris where you have more than 150 people killed. >> this is not just. as kate said, isis wants these to spring up organically all over the world. they have called for just such thing. >> they have called for just such thing. t...

Take time during this attack -- >> it could be between the shooting and while they were shot. >> so, phil, i want to follow up this right neu just to remember our national chief correspondent, that the woman involved in this shooting made some post on facebook as the shooting was under lay, pledging allegiance to isis leader al baghdadi. we know theyre ib investigating a possible link between the shooters and a terror suspect they had been before. do you get from the shooting to the terror suspe...

An attack of terrorism. we didnt have that until this story started breaking, not only the direct connection for a pledge of support for al baghdadi. the timing is significant, if youre posting that during an event, youre indicating that was at least some of your motivation for conducteding the event. early on youre saying, how can that be linked to isis? somehow, some way, clearly it does. this changes the game for me. >> just to go to the investigation angel, again, this was prapd gleaned from...

Speak the regime who are actually fighting isis, the syrian people. we cannot sit and watch and complain about what can we do about daesh or isis, we need to support those picking up the fight with isis. we. >> how do you fight that fight here? that fight does appear to be in the united states now. >> lets put things in perspective. if this case is true, it would be one of many -- one of a handful of cases. out of 6 million american muslims, im not worried about it. theres no appeal for isis and...
