This raid. President obama has been briefed in manila and what the white house is calling a Law Enforcement action. We have Team Coverage today. Im joined by new York Attorney who can speak to the issues this and anastasia am or am your reaction to the developments . President has already requested from the French Parliament a threemonth extension of a state of emergency. Part of that is because they still had those that were they believed directly in bringing about the horrific attacks at large. There are a larger number of terrorists in operating in france that they havent been able to be adequate in despite the high levels of survey lanes that surveillance. As much as this is a breakthrough and seen as a win, i absolutely dont believe that we are out of the woods in terms of the proximate danger that the french government exists right now on the ground on their country. The impact that youre going to see socially, economically as well as the significant political that exists right now both between muslims living in france, large piece of the population, about 8 , most of which are citizens as well as the french opposition looking to take presidency themselves. This is a radically different environment than the incredible show of unity and the fueling of safety that we experienced in france after the charley bombings back in january. Dagen doesnt that need to happen . Dont you need the posture of this french government and the authorities there is certainly allot more aggressive in the bombings that have been conducted in the after math of friday the 13th attacks in syria . Just what we are seeing today, conducting a massive operation in a very dense urban area, speaks to their aggressiveness. Sure it does. What i would say is these larger attacks that weve seen in france, theyre by far the most significant that ive ever seen that has not lead to an expression, immediate expression of unity. Think about 9 11. After 9 11 the rally to president bush both in the United States and outside the u. S. Was extraordinary, same thing was the case after the charley ebdoe bombings in attacks back in january. Thats not the case at all here, and yes, you are seeing a very aggressive response but no where close to where you see called by former president who has thrown the hat in the ring for the upcoming president ial elections in france. He suggest that had the french government call off the global summit which is coming in just a few weeks on climate. Youre going to have over a hundred state of head visiting and delegations staying all over paris. Doesnt have the ability to ensure the security of all those leaders coming in. Hes also suggested that some 11,000 french citizens that are on terrorist watch lists and radical watch lists, that they be given electronic monitoring bracelets and put under house arrest. This is this is the level of disagreement, political disagreement that is now being experienced in france in the direct aftermath of the attacks. Its something that theyve just never seen before. Dagen i want to go to you first, is this necessarily a bad thing . Just your reaction to the pictures and the information weve gotten from this raid in paris. A lot is hinging on successful execution, not just for the people of france and the people of the eu but here at home because really in recent days, what weve been hearing about our eu counterparts is that their Law Enforcement and intelligence communities are overwhelmed. Not just by refugee crisis but the data they are analyzing in the after math of attacks. To see the french come in today with largescale operation and success sfl implementation and perhaps the perpetrator of fridays attacks would be very significant, i think globally at this point. Dagen i want you to listen to this, it was something that president obama said in the debate over allowing ri refugees in the United States. I just want to play that given some of the details about one of the alleged terror suspects that was killed in paris. Can we play that, guys . Apparently theyre scared of widows and who orphans. That doesnt very tough to me. Dagen widows and orphans, the woman that took her own life, i say woman, there was a female involved, one of the terror suspects, we dont have many details. The other reportedly killed by a sniper but but this speaks to what president obama was des missing, does it not . It does in a sense. We have seen this employed as a tactic, other african terrorist organizations, they pray prey on vulnerable. They are preying on women and recruiting because women are more easily able to go under the radar, they are more able easily to penetrate International Borders because of profiles that all governments at this point have going about terrorists op operatives. What president obama says we can go greenbay on this, theres no reason why we cant uphold national defense, at the same time allow ourselves to continue humanitarian missions that allow refugees to come inside the United States. Dagen i want to bring anastasia who are in the studio. This is a Business Network and we always go back to the business impact, the Economic Impact of the new i would say the new war on terror, the new fight on terror that you see when you see this kind of action in a dense, densely populated city center where the raid took place. You had two air france flights that were grounded overnight. You had one Spirit Airlines flight that was held at the gate on the east coast because they were concerned of individuals on the flight. Are we beginning to see the economic fallout from the newer world we are living in . Anastasia the reason the markets have not acted terribly to this, we have a lot to side here. Its part of reality today. Its not going to deter the way we live our daily lives but the question that, i think, it creates on peoples minds is how to address threat. Some are not a threat. Some are a threat. Its about people who are already living in this country who recollects are already living in france. A lot of the people were french citizens, belgium citizens. My question to gillian, the president receives a security briefing, im sure you have isis individuals with ties to isis that have been identified, do we have the tools, do we have the means to track individuals and the tools to naturalize them. Dagen greg, ive been watching you all morning. Just fill us in on what happened . The situation is calm and quiet but it wasnt that way at 4 20 in the morning when war broke out, but usually quiet area on the outskirts of paris. Ill ask my cameraman to zoom in. Special forces, for sure but in a relax mode. About a block and a half behind them where all occurred. The toll had changed in the past couple of hours. But the final toll we believe is one woman, terror suspect, probably much so a terrorists, blowing herself up with a vest. Many from that building itself and also joining buildings. One passerby either injured or killed as well as five policemen injured. There was a huge fight here. Mastermind of the paris terror attacks which left 129 dead, over 350 injured friday night was actually here in this building. Abdelhamid abaaoud. Excuse me. But we had been reporting that he was in roqaa for the past four days pulling the strings in the isis headquarters there. The fact that he would be here, maybe half a mile from the National Soccer stadium where there were terror attacks friday night, short distance from all the rest of the locations and with police all around that would be an amazing but we dont have that confirmed. We also had another report interesting for your viewers, im sure that the corporate, business area of paris on the outskirts was being thought of as a target for new attack possibly at new location. Theres a lot to check out right now, but it looks like there were terrorists both killed and terror suspects taken. Right now forensic teams are making sure theres no explosives there. Its still a very much of a live scene. The main street empty. We are talking in the middle of the day. This is raw workingclass area of paris. Theres nobody out. People were evacuated from the immediate area and the rest of the people tens of thousands of people who were here and not at work told to stay inside. Yet, another dramatic episode here in this situation in france in the last couple of days that have shaken the country right down to the core. Dagen i want to ask you, you covered so many hot spots around the world. Being there in paris, correct me if im wrong, i think youve lived there. Put in perspective how you might think this would impact the kind of daytoday of perisians . Well, its striking. We were here in january for the terror strikes against that newspapers and a couple of other locations. One article put it this way, november is not january, and january there was a sense of solidarity. It was definitely seen as an attack on the people of france. Now theres anger, feeling of revenge wanted and we can see that already from the stepped up air strike against raqaa and other low caigs that location that isis hold. Its a city that i wasnt familiar with. I lived here for nine years. I remember walking by and the fact that suicide bombers and islamists should be shooting up the place where we would walk by it on a sunday afternoon to relax, unbelievable, unbelievable. Dagen we are getting breaking news from the prosecutor saying that information recovered from police does suggest that the suspect Abdelhamid Abaaoud, alleged mastermind of deadly attacks on friday the 13th, suggests that he might have been at that site, the location of that raid. And as you were pointing out in reporting, this is a Significant Development because he was expected to be in syria. We knew that authorities tried to bomb a site in syria where he was this year. He tried at one point tried to get back in the heart of europe, but if he is, indeed in france but in paris, what does that say . Thats interesting. Again, im sorry i didnt report that to you. That just crossed in the two minutes weve been speaking. Dagen its all hands on deck, greg. What it sounded like you were saying, my audio is interrupted that authorities believed that that he was there, maybe not necessarily this morning but had used that as a base of operations. That would make sense. Its a perfect staging operation staging location. Half a mile away is the target. You walk downstairs and maybe you drive, i would think to the stadium and do terror acts. This definitely could have been a logistics center. Even if the mastermind wasnt there, its very important for authorities to get accomplices. Hopefully you can be with us all morning. I know youve been listening to greg reporting, can you weigh in, reaction . Sure. I guess i would say a couple of things. Americans should think how radically different the Global Environment was today than after 9 11. The United States economy was doing incredibly well, the relationship between the u. S. And allies were very strong. The willingness of americans of all stripes to rally around the flag and the abilities to get allies around the world to support us in going after alqaeda in wars in afghanistan and eventually iraq was very strong. The environment, the timing around these attacks could not be more different or worse for the Global Economy and also for geopolitics and stability. Both sides are making hay out of the reaction that they think should or should not take place to what we are seeing in france. You see that with statement of governors, refugees. In europe you have the beginning of this extraordinary refugee crisis which has been enormously unpopular across europe. Chancellor Angela Merkel in germany has taken a leadership role to taking refugee in. Shes under fire for that position. Everyone in europe that can make a political play off the back of these french attacks to support their own National Agendas are absolutely doing so. With france, itself, an economy thats not doing well, this was they already were under a high alert. You know, they were doing everything possible. They had expanded dramatically surveillance of potential terrorists with a very controversial new law similar to the patriot act but more extensive in france back in may and yet we see these attacks occurring nonetheless. The president is a consequent extremely weak, opposition across france extremely strong. All of those things are making dangerous and challenging. One more thing that i would mention, is that the french government has engaged with direct coordination in bombing with the russians in surrian, the french are a nato ally of the United States. The United States is not an ally on russia and what theyre doing in syria. The United States is still a fairly marginal actor in whats going on the ground in dealing with isis in syria itself and the americans are playing catchup. The russians no question militarily are right now showing themselves who is in the drivers seat, the fact that the french are on board and asked for european help and have not asked nato to invoke to get the americans engaged shows how much support the russians are getting behind them. Dagen i want to bring in and hes been sitting here patiently arthur. Is that how they view terrorism . Carefully selected words. I will tell you from a legal point of view, im happy with the way the french government has hand reacting, as much as this feeling of revenge, they are doing things that appears to being by the law, the president has gone to congress and asked for state of emergency, thats legal, proper. You just quote it had prosecutors are involved. Those are all coming from prosecutors office. Those are lawyers who have taken an oath to uphold the law. As bad as we want to get revenge to the people who did this, the reason why they are doing this dagen is to change the way our life, democracy, we cant let them win. We have to get them and play by the rules that we fought so hard for so live in a democracy of the people, by the people even in france even though its americas motto. Right now i want to go to Nicole Petallides. We are talking about the mastermind im going to get the name right before its all over Abdelhamid Abaaoud. Target it had matter mastermind of the deadly attacks. One woman killed herself with an explosive vest, another reportedly killed by a sniper. Nicole petallides has her eye on this story and more this morning. Two flights bound from paris. I brought that up earlier, nicole. What do you know right now . Nicole lets delve into this. Two air france flights headed from the United States to paris last night were gettered because of bomb threats according to u. S. Government officials. The first flight from los angeles to paris landed in Salt Lake City and shortly after a flight from washingtons airport was diverted. They both landed safely. Meanwhile, secretary of state john kerry, backlash for comments justifying in paris france that resulted in the murder of 12 people in january of this year. Theres Something Different about what happened and i think everybody would feel that. There was a sort of particularized focus in terms of rationale that you could attach and say they are really angry because of this and that. Nicole the information was published by the department of homeland securities intelligence and analysis which fore shadowed capability and the fbi ramping up security ahead of the holidays. Agents from other tasks including White Collar Crime will be pulled into duty to cope with the growing worry. Dagen. Dagen thank you so much nicole. Were you listening. Did you hear that comment from secretary kerry about comparing to the charley hedgo attack. I wanted your reaction. This seems in some way an administration that thinks that these are individuals terrorists who can somehow be changed even talked to, even rationalized with . He doesnt necessarily see friday the 13th attacks as a game changer which were for the world. I think that even then he continued to sort of count the tactical successes that the anticoalition might have. He was talking about a supply Group Disrupted in syria. Kennetts attacks, more capable and the fact we obscene isis directly say washington is in the bullseye, washington is next, i got to tell you if you are the Obama Administration and you notice year yet is a slippery slope and it is getting steeper and you know you are going to be under massive political pressure to, quote, do more, you know that doing more will be very unpalatable and unsustainable in terms of Political Support from american citizens over the medium to long term you want to wait on that especially responding to an attack in the United States. The Obama Administration doesnt want to jump in. Let the russians do the fighting, the russians have not been primarily attacking isis the going after most the enemies of Bashar Alassad who have not been isis but doing more against isis now. I happen to think the position the americans would rather see other people pursues his fight and not take up themselves is not quite popular one and one that obama has been wrestling with. Dagen arthur is shaking his head. I am going to say this. Until something happens at home everything changes. Absolutely. Those of us knew yorkers, we really feel, even people who dont agree with donald trump often say before we blow off another American Kids legs or arms, if the russians take the fight to them and airplanes being blown up, you are on target where russians changed their targets and if they can get someone told me last night president obamas biggest coup would be to get china involved. Get the chinese involved, russians and americans focus on the same target, we are pretty powerful. Dagen we expect to hear from Francois Hollande of france, we will take a quick
