Woman into custody. As of now we have no information on her identity or nationality. That should be coming forth soon, should they, should they release that information. Well continue watching this news out of boston. Meanwhile, also, breaking right now, a stadium in hanover, germany, has been evacuated and the game between germany and netherlands has been canceled. Chancellor Angela Merkel had been scheduled to be in attendance. She was not in attendance. There was reports of a suspicious object before kickoff. That item has not been found. This stadium in central, north, germany in hanover, which is in the central north part country has been evacuated. A lot going on right now. A lot well continue to mon for for you. All of course as we get that news, also breaking right now that france and rush are retaliating against isis with fresh at, in syria. Many are asking where is the United States right now . Meanwhile governors from across the country they are refusing to allow Syrian Refugees inside their states. 30 states saying no to president obamas plan to bring 10,000 Syrian Refugees in our country less than six weeks from now. Those 30 governors are set to get on the call with president. The big concern whether or not the refugees can be properly vetted. The concern is they cant. Two president ial candidates, former fbi official and fourstar general here on the Intelligence Report in next 60 minutes with analysis. I want to get caught up on news, french and russian militaries are striking isis in syria. This is on the heels of the worst atrocity in france since world war ii. The president speaking out yesterday amid a lot of, a lot of criticism. Well get to that as the police there in france conducted over one one raids overnight. Theyre trying to piece together just how exactly this attack was orchestrated. Meanwhile over in Belgium Police arresting two men who they believed supplied the suicide bombs in fridays attack. The men admit they drove to france to pick up a suspected attacker who is still on the loose. This is his picture right there. Here at home politicians, as i was saying ramping up pressure on president obama to invoke what is called article v of natos protection clause. Basically says an attack on one is an attack on all. Congressman ted poe, texas, chairman of the house subcommittee introduced the resolution to invoke article v. He joins me now. Congressman, welcome. Thank you, trish. Trish tell me what it is you want to see from our president right now and how article v fits into that. As you say the article v of nato agreement of 28 nations says if one nation is attack theyre all attacked. I filed a resolution that the United States would invoke article v on behalf of france and nato would be involved in this entire operations, 20 eight country, fighting back isis. Remember that when 9 11 occurred several nato nations invoked article v on our behalf, made that a nato operation. So the attacks by isis are really more than just france or even europe. It is throughout the world. So lets have a coordinated joint response and eliminate isis by invoking the nato provision, article v. Trish let me ask you, congressman, how much support are you getting or seeing right now for this resolution . We have a lot of folks supporting this resolution and congress has taken the lead on this as it should, that congress has the authority to invoke article v in the sense that congress is responsible if the United States engages in military combat. So a lot of members of congress are supportive of this. It is just filed. Hopefully well get a vote on this right away. Trish congressman, you have russia out there launching attacks on isis, uncoordinated with us, although they did tell us about the attacks. You have france striking isis in part with some of our intelligence helping them to do so but we dont really have a concerted effort right now from all of these countries, including the United States to wipe out isis. Could article v change that . Yes, article v could change that. Youre right about the United States policy. It is very disturbing that the president said that isis is con attends. Theyre not contained. It is obvious that isis is not contained. The United States seems to have bunker mentality. In other words were to hold in place. We have more and more security in the United States and we are reacting to crimes that occur against the u. S. We need to be proactive and lip nate isis, hopefully, the United States president will change his policy to have a strategy. Trish congressman, let me jump in to ask you a question about russia and putin. Because russia, as i was saying earlier had launched these attacks on isis in syria, on the heels of what happened in paris. And also of course on the eels of what happened to that airliner, killing so many. Do we need to be talking to Vladmir Putin . Do we need to be engaging him right now . Because this is a common enemy that all of us are fighting. I mean you look at sunnis and shiites, maybe they need to come together on this one as well. This is a terror group that wants to destroy humanity as we know it . Of course we use nato. I think we ought to also share information with russia on the specific issue of isis. We have other concerns about russian involvement in syria. Theyre trying to support assad but on this one issue, yes, i think we should work with the russians and with the nato allies. Trish okay. Well, there have been strange bedfellows in the past. You think back to world war ii and stalin. Anyway, congressman poe we appreciate you joining us here today. Thank you, sir. Thank you, trish. Trish and as weve been discussing and discussing throughout the hour, the president would like to admit 10,000 refugees beginning six weeks from now, 10,000 refugees from syria, even though members of his own administration are doubtful whether or not we can properly vet these individuals. The fear of course that isis may seed the group with its own. Hawists. Jihadists. We will not know a whole lot about individual refugees from come forward from the u. N. High commission of refugees for resettlement and vetting. My concern there is are certain gaps i dont want to talk publicly in the Data Available to us. I dont obviously put it past the likes of isil to infill straight operatives among the infiltrate operatives among the refugees. Trish president ial candidate Mike Huckabee is slamming the white houses intention to bring in 10,000 refugees in next six weeks. If speaker ryan will not lead and reject the importtation of those fleeing the middle east he needs to step down and let someone else lead. Governor huckabee joins me right now. Governor, good to see you. Unfortunate circumstances that were meeting here again under. But it looks as though you were effective in getting speaker ryan to take note because, he is coming out and saying that that we need to be rethinking this entire situation. Trish, i was heartened to see the speaker take a strong stand and admit there is no basis for us right now to have a wholesale admission of Syrian Refugees when we just dont have any way to vet them. Today, marie harf, spokespeople for john kerry, took a shot at me, dont worry, 100 we can vet the people. We will trust the same people that gave the obamacare website, gave us the investigation on the irs and as well as on benghazi, and the same people that investigated james rosen. Im sorry, but i just dont have a lot of confidence and trust in something this administration says, especially when the president is out there yesterday saying that we dont want to get into these slogans about america winning. Trish, i do want america to win. I dont want the terrorists to win. I certainly dont want to invite them over and not have a clue were actually inviting them to come to the United States and kill us. Trish governor, lets not forget were talking about six weeks from now. Even if you wanted to, even if you could possibly vet 10,000 people we dont have anytime not only have anytime but where do they go . Maybe go to chappaqua and stay in hillarys neighborhood. Maybe upper side of manhattan or hollywood just somewhere around the capitol. Trish we have bill de blasio a long with number of other mayors across the country saying not only 10,000 but we need more. Hillary clinton in the democratic debate, she wants 65,000 refugees to come here. New york would be one of the places that would take these refugees in, governor. But isnt it interesting the people who say this generally live behind gated communities or surrounded by armed guards . What about the people that live on just neighborhood streets and people who dont have an opportunity to have anything to do with who these people are, where they come from . We all share a concern about children and women who are being raped and pillaged but lets build a safe haven in the neighborhood. I was in pakistan right after the great earthquake that happened there. There were tens of thousands of people dislocated. There was an extraordinary encamment set up to house them and protect them. Americans led in that. And that model is a whole lot better than shipping them 8,000 miles especially when many people could get in on the ride who do not come here because theyre looking for shelter. They come here looking for mayhem. Trish lets not forget, looks as though one of the terrorists in terrorist attacks may have slipped in on syrian passport into greece saying that he was a refugee. Senator, we have news breaking right now i would like to get your thoughts on, the majority leader there, Mitch Mcconnell, calling for moratorium on these refugees coming into the United States of nerc america. It in some ways feels like the elephant in the room. Granted were a humane society. As you point out we want to do what we can to help these people. There are a lot of very innocent children, women and men in this group but at the same time we need to protect ourselves. The number one job of the president of the United States is to protect americans. It is not to protect the reputation of islam which i sometimes think seems to be his highest goal. And the fact is, that if we want say there are is some real danger, we saw what danger looks like in the streets of paris friday night. I dont think any american is willing to take that risk and they shouldnt be. They shouldnt be asked to take that risk, trish. Trish do the democrats not get it . Hillary clinton less than 30 hours from those attacks was there on stage saying we need to bring in 65,000 refugees. I would do more than president obama. In the meantime now, senator mcconnell saying look, we need to draw a line in the sand. We need to put a moratorium on this this is six weeks from potentially governor were talking about bringing these people here. Governor huckabee . Can you hear me i think were having audio issue there with governor huckabee. Well come back to him. I want to remind our viewers, this news crossing right now, senator Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell saying there needs to be moratorium on the program to bring in refugees. The president of the United States in less than six weeks plans to bring up 10,000 refugees. Many intelligence officials have pointed out as well as members of the president s own administration as you just saw in the clip that we showed, there is no way to properly vet these people. They dont have a kind after track record that you can check. You certainly cant do it in the amount of time were talking about. There governor huckabee joining with a number of conservatives on this issue who said we need to be realistic. Governor, i apologize, we lost your audio. Leader mcconnell says we need a moratorium. What needs to be done from the conservative community . Not just conservatives. The democratic governor of New Hampshire says they will not take refugees from New Hampshire. This doesnt seem to be a political issue but seems some members of the Democratic Party think its okay to open our borders at this rather scary time . Trish, the good news is that theres at least some semblance of leadership. Governors, the french president , all stepping into the leadership vacuum. Im grateful to see what Mitch Mcconnell is doing, what paul ryan is doing. We need somebody to be be a leader. The president obviously doesnt want to be. I frankly was embarrassed, a french president , socially, leftwing politically correct president closing his borders even while america is trying to close gitmo and president is trying to make sure we import syrians here. Im just glad a lot of governors understand, if they take these refugees, they will bear the cost for education and health care and housing. And i think theyre rightly saying, no thank you. No thank you. Trish governor. Tell me what you know about the legality of this. Think about it. If the president told you got to take these refugees and you said, uhuh were not take them in my state, reality they could go to another state and nothing to prevent them from coming into your territory. We are the United States of america with open borders between our states, so even if one state, says, uhuh, its not happening that doesnt mean refugees, some potential terrorist could be in the u. S. . Thats exactly why the governors are upset, because, look, theyre going to be responsible for the safety of the people in their states. Let me ask this, if somebody were saying heres a fivepound bag of peanuts. I just want to warn you, even though five pounds of peanuts are in here, there are six or seven of the individual peanuts are poisonous and will kill you, would you accept them and feed them to your family . The answer is obviously of course not. I think that what is a lot of people are beginning to say. Mr. President , youre trying to tell us most of the people who come are going to be fine. Okay. Terrific. But we dont know which one isnt. Will that person end up killing somebody we care about and love. Why should we have what paris saw . Why not on the streets some way to possibly avoid it. Trish we want to protect our loved ones. Governor huckabee, good to have you here. Thank you, trish. Great to be with you. Trish new intel coming to us exactly how these terrorists communicated. Authorities say sonys playstation may have been instrumental, sony refusing to, refusing to answer our questions. We have reached out repeatedly.

There have been some policy, legal and other actions that have been taken make our ability collectively, internationally, to find these terrorists much more challenging. And i do hope that, this is going to be a wakeup call. Trish all right. We have new evidence that suggests isis communicating via playstation. You just heard director of cia talking about how difficult it toes monitor and police all of this chatter. All this chatter, by the way taking place just four days before the attacks. I want you to know, we contacted, here at the Intelligence Report sony. We contacted sony, which runs playstation, repeatedly. We contacted them five times, since sunday and you know what, sony hasnt responded. They have not responded to any of our inquiries, which is rather remarkable considering the circumstances. Anyway i want to go right now to the former head of the fbi, former assistant director. Shawn henry, for how these barbarians are communicating online and using things potentially like sonys playstation, to, work these operations. Good to have you here, sean. Tell me what you know about playstation and the dark web and how it thats these terrorists communicate. Well, trish, we know these terrorists are looking for alternative means of communication. There have been a lot hit by drone strikes using cell phones, electronic means to track them. And to intercept their communications, have led to some disruptive behavior. Theyre looking for those alternative means. Using playstation is one of the methods where theyre able to use functionality, built into the system, it is not anything really special. Theyre using video chat. Theyre using voice chat. Theyre using text chat to communicate. People that are aggregating, meeting in Virtual Worlds able to collaborate, share information and really completely off radar of Law Enforcement and intelligence communities, chris. The shawn, i question what the liability of these companies will be. They are acting asfa sill tate tore. Twitter, and others using twitter recruiting. Whether sony has the platform enables these murderers to communicate. What role does Corporate America need to be in this to cooperate with you guys to make sure this doesnt happen . When we talk about liability, do we hold a car manufacturer he and kill people . The features are lawful and used by typical consumers. The concerns are what are the manufacturers or providers, how are they interfacing with Law Enforcement . Are they responsive to lawfully executed warrants, et cetera . I know the government has been talking to people in Si
