1:00 pm
a fox news alert. dozens of world leaders linking arms leading a march of millions through the streets of paris. the global community standing tall in the face of terror, refusing to surrender. welcome to "america's news headquarters." >> hello, everyone. i'm eric shawn. it's being called the largest french demonstration in history. people taking to the streets to defiantly say no to radical islamic terrorism. that's more than poured out at the end of world war ii. at the grand synagogue in paris
1:01 pm
benjamin netanyahu saying the islamist terrorists, quote want to take over the world and take humanity backwards. our senior correspondent has been reporting live in the midst of this incredible demonstration and joins us now. hi, rick. >> reporter: eric, at times somber and at times celebratory. it was an unprecedented mass gathering by some estimates perhaps 1.5 million. others say 3 million people or more gathering on the streets of paris' city center to show strength and unity. as you mentioned, being called the largest demonstration in french history. president francois hollande said it turned paris into the capital of the world. this was a horrific week here. obviously many compared it to 9/11 because of the dramatic impact on the nation. the marchers held signs to honor and remember the 17 terror victims, including friday's attack on the kosher grocery and wednesday's attack on the offices of the satirical news
1:02 pm
"charlie hebdo." translated from french the signs said "i am charlie," "freeh -- "freedom," and "thank you police." they were all cheering police despite the fact they've been targeted here. there was also a gathering of world leaders, including prime ministers of germany, spain, italy, england russia turkey, israel, and the palestinian territories. they were linking arms and led the marchers at one point along with victims' family members. tonight we learned the four killed at kosher grocery, all of them jews will be buried in israel on tuesday. by tonight, the crowd had thinned quite a bit. many of them had gone home. a few hundred people still turned the rally into a party. they were playing music and dancing in the streets as they marched. today, eric, a powerful end to a
1:03 pm
peaceful celebration. a significant show of solidarity and strength. but paris and the rest of france remains on high alert. still concerned about the possibility of future homegrown attacks. eric? >> an astounding voice. people united in unity with our leaders. rick, thank you so much. well, despite the massive condemnation of radical islamic terrorism, the french government still taking no chances immobilizing hundreds of military personnel, police and anti-terrorism squads to better bolster the security. the terror alert is now at the highest level with french interior minister warning quote, there's a risk of another attack. he says we're creating a defense zone to deploy a reaction force should it become necessary. the french prime minister says that france, in his words is at war with radical islam. >> and eric, the attacks in paris making the u.s. take a long look at its own level of readiness in an event of similar
1:04 pm
attacks of prism. eric holder is attending a meeting of world leaders to discuss intelligence gathering and information sharing. and also took part in the -- i'm not sure about that part. let me talk to peter there. peter, it was reading he took part in the march. is that true? >> i know that he was not seen in many of the images we saw here in the d.c. bureau, but something important to focus on he did five interviews. based on everything the attorney general eric holder says that he knows, he thinks a paris-style attack is possible here in the united states and that the thought of a terror plot like that keeps him up at night. still, though, holder says law enforcement in this country is careful to keep an eye on potential terrorists without stereotyping. >> i think that we are certainly doing, i think, a good job in monitoring those people. i want to say monitoring. i mean monitoring in an appropriate way, using legitimate tools.
1:05 pm
we're not stereotyping anybody. we are focused on those people who we have some reason to believe might engage in these kinds of activities. >> still, holder sr. waiting on an after-action report to see who exactly planned and executed the paris attack. but the fact he doesn't know right now strikes republican senator lindsay graham as quote, ridiculous. >> to eric holder, there's a lot of credible information that the people behind these attacks are radical islamists who have been involved in the fight for years. one of them went to jail for flowing fighters into iraq. so this is not a mystery. we know exactly what's going on here. >> the senate intel committee chairman says it's possible there could be in the future paris-style attacks every single week. that's a scary thought, and it comes on the morning the white house finally set a date for an anti-extremism summit. first mentioned as a possibility back in september. now on the calendar for february 18th.
1:06 pm
a white house spokesman says officials at this summit are going to look at american cities with policies in place to combat violent extremism places like boston, l.a., and minneapolis. then possibly try to build on the success, mimic the success of those programs. >> indeed. peter, thank you so much. >> the attorney general in paris expressing concern that america, of course, is at risk for facing small-scale attacks similar to the ones in paris last week. we have seen this before in our country. so how can u.s. anti-terrorism experts prevent similar attacks here at home before they happen? is that possible? the vice president of research at the foundation for the defense of democracies, also the author of the recently published book "state of failure:." jonathan, good to see you. we just heard peter say the potential for attacks every single week. it doesn't take much. >> no it doesn't take much. actually, as a former terrorism finance analyst i was just
1:07 pm
taking a look at what it might have even cost to carry out these kinds of attacks that we saw this week. and the answer is that it comes into the low thousands. you know, to essentially pay for gasoline to put in your car, to possibly rent a car, to buy one weapon, and some ammunition does not cost a lot. and so it's extremely difficult to try in terms of finances. then of course if these people have been off the grid for a long time, it's even harder to track them and even more so if they're not using e-mail, not using cell phones. if they don't have a significant electronic footprint, it almost becomes impossible for intelligence to track them. >> you raised a really interesting point. the kouachi brothers have been under surveillance for a long time. u.s. intelligence know about them, alerted the french. the french know about them. one of the brothers spent time in prison. they were on the ray darks and they apparently just kind of dropped out because the french surveillance, we're told ended this summer because they weren't
1:08 pm
apparently deemed threats. they were laying low. is that your view that they were just laying low, waiting for the moment to strike? and when the surveillance was lifted, that's when they decided to act. >> well, this is a tactic that i've become very concerned about recently. we've seen a number of individuals who have become delisted here in the united states after being put on our terrorism list because there's nothing new to suggest that they could be a problem. it doesn't mean that they've forsaken the ideology that they once embraced. it doesn't mean they're no longer jihadists. it just means they haven't been doing a whole lot. so then authorities start to reshuffle priorityiespriorities. they start to look at other individuals who may appear to oppose a greater threat. that allows us to take our eyes off the ball of people like these two brothers. >> what's so astounding is the attacks we've had in this country and others by known people.
1:09 pm
the air-conditioning repairman. in the criminal court building, the judges the lawyers they all knew about him. incident after incident. the brussels synagogue shooting. if it's one guy whether law enforcement knows about him or not, how is it possible to stop this? >> it's a lot more difficult when you don't -- when you can't point to a broader conspiracy. when you don't see a significant amount of traffic going back and forth with e-mails and phone calls, if it's one person who decides to do this in a lone wolf style attack or a pair of people, as we just saw, who again are probably not likely to use e-mail or phone in discussing their plans, you know, it's not as if we can't monitor a conspiracy that goes on in someone's head or in a living room. and so it's become exceedingly difficult. this is a new trend. i think thankfully we haven't seen it here in the united
1:10 pm
states yet. but i think it's correct to say that it is entirely possible here. i just don't know exactly how much more we can do other than to fight the overall ideology and to make sure that we know what we're looking for as we try to mitigate these threats. >> yeah, sadly we have seen some of these in the past with the hatchet attack and the shooting at the los angeles airport. sadly, it's on the radar, but at least the world now has it front and center. jonathan, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> eric police say they have arrested two suspects in an arson attack on a german newspaper. it happened after the paper published "charlie hebdo" cartoons in a show of solidarity with the victims in france. police found the remains of molotov cocktails inside the newspaper's offices. the publication says the attack destroyed some of its files, but thankfully no one was hurt. >> and also in germany, authorities have arrested a
1:11 pm
suspected member of isis. officials say that they raided this guy's apartment. it's in a town just north of dusseldorf. the suspect is 24-year-old old. he allegedly went to syria in 20420 2014 to try and join isis. this is the kind of guy we were just talk abouting with jonathan. authorities say his arrest has no connection at all to the recent attacks in paris. the u.s. army announcing a major deployment according to a top ten commander. more than 3,000 troops are expected to be sent to europe. more than 150 tanks and fighting vehicles also on the way. will carr is live with more. >> hi, arthel. a senior army official tells us they plan to pull these troops from south korea as a broad rebalance. here's how it will work. to pull a brigade of tanks and fighting vehicles, put them into europe at the end of the year.
1:12 pm
about 3,000 troops will be deployed to conduct exercises in germany and other european countries. it's not a perm nabt move. instead, the troops will most likely only be in the region until the fall or end of the year. why the shift? in part to assure our european allies that they're in a position of strength when it comes to russia. russia has annexed the crimea region secured a vital port in the black sea, and sponsored the civil war. >> i think you need a much larger political response as well as military response to demonstrate that nato is committed to making sure that military force cannot success on the continent of europe. if this is a first step, that's great. but it's certainly not nearly enough in and of itself. if it's the last thing we do i don't think putin will be deterred at all. >> a senior army officer tells us that the new regionally aligned forces s a new concept,
1:13 pm
which makes it easier for us to respond to the world's hot spots. at the same time, the hill is reporting that another senior army officer has said that this move is not -- this move has come, actually decided before russia invade crimea as part of the drawback in afghanistan. >> okay. will carr, thank you very much. >> and of course we'll have continuing coverage on that spectacular march from paris straight ahead. and prime minister benjamin netanyahu stirring challenge to the world. >> and every minute that goes by is a minute less of battery life on those critical black boxes for flight 8501. they're still missing. we have a live report on the search efforts. no chest-beating monologues about engine size, horsepower, or performance. no anthemic soundtracks to stir the soul. just a ram heavy duty that can carry more weight
1:14 pm
than any other heavy-duty truck. get more facts at ramtrucks.com hello... i'm an idaho potato farmer and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah. it's out there somewhere spreading the word about america's favorite potatoes: heart healthy idaho potatoes and the american heart association's go red for women campaign. if you see it i hope you'll let us know. always look for the grown in idaho seal. [cheering] everything okay? we're here because you're about to have a heart attack. pete's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today his doctor has him on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen.

1:17 pm
time for a quick check of the headlines. millions of people marching through the streets of paris. it is a powerful and unprecedented message against a series of terror attacks there this past week, leaving 17 dead and the country on high alert. to michigan where all lanes of interstate 94 have now been reopened following that deadly 193-vehicle pileup on friday. officials say earlier reports of reopening the highway stalled
1:18 pm
because of weather. and in upstate new york a plot to kill an elementary schoolteacher by fourth grade girls has been foiled. the teacher is extremely allergic to hand sanitizer, and the girls were planned to put it around her classroom. a fellow student told the adults about a plan, and they intervene intervened. authorities are not charging the students and are instead referring the matter to the school district. meanwhile, search crews are still scrambling to try and find those missing black boxes. today airasia announced that divers are now searching the area in the java sea where pings were last detected. you know, time is of the essence because the batteries in those black boxes only run for 30 days and could run out in just two weeks. brian, so they recovered the tail where the black boxes are usually -- that's where they're held, but they can't find the boxes. >> that's exactly right. but indonesian officials are growing more confident that airasia flight 8501's black box
1:19 pm
will soon be recovered. today, three separate indonesian ships detected strokng pings located about two miles from where that tail was recovered yesterday. officials believe the cockpit, voice, and data recorder in the black box separated from the tail on impact. >> translator: we have detected a signal at one location where we believe it is a signal from the black box. we have checked the site twice using the pinger locator. >> divers are searching that one location where the signals are particularly intense, but the boxes have yet to be found. officials say it's likely the recorders are underneath plane wreckage, wreckage that has included passenger airplane seat, some tragically with victims still strapped in. one ministry official released a statement saying divers will attempt to move wreckage and retrieve the black box on monday. the black box holds the key to what happened to flight 8501 which crashed about halfway into its two-hour flight from
1:20 pm
indonesia to singapore. pilots asked to climb to a higher altitude to avoid big storm clouds. four minutes later, the plane disappeared off radar. no distress call was given. now, meanwhile sonar is continuing to pick up large objects along the sea floor 100 feet below. divers found a wing and an engine today but officials have yet to find the main body of the airplane where the majority of the 162 passenger remains are thought to be. airasia ceo tony fernandez tweeting, we are led to believe black box may have been found still not confirmed but strong info coming, but my main thoughts is with the fuselage. so far 48 bodies have been found. again, the search is for the black box, but there is a concentration on finding the main fuselage where a lot of the remains are thought to be. >> all right brian. thank you. a four-hour hospital standoff coming to a peaceful end in texas.
1:21 pm
the suspect surrendering to police without incident. he was apparently the father of a patient at the hospital who became distraught over his son's condition. now, officers feared he might be armed, but that turned out not to be the case. the harris county sheriffs department describing the incident. >> he did remain in the patient's room and would not exit the patient's room, which in and of itself was concerning. so fortunately, he was taken into custody without any further incident. >> no word yet on what charges, if any, the man taken into custody could be facing. storm systems now over the gulf coast pushing a lot of moisture northward. it's encountering freezing cold air, and the result, snow. that could create a messy morning for some communities. where will this be affecting? >> just in time for tomorrow's
1:22 pm
rush hour across all the big cities on the i-95 corridor. look at the temperatures right now. so 12 in minneapolis, 40 in dallas, 41 in kansas city. we do have that cold air sinking southward. the timing of all this moisture lifting in from the gulf of mexico is going to mean the difference between just rain or snow or a mixture of the two, including freezing rain. also want to point out we have a system moving into southern california. great news for them. they need it, but of course they've got a big awards ceremony. hopefully the ladies have their umbrellas because their hairdos could get messed up. here's the main event we're watching along the gulf coast. the freezing rain event that could be very difficult for traveling tomorrow across portions of the ohio river valley, mississippi, tennessee river valley. we have an ice storm warning here for accumulating ice in parts of central indiana. but look at the purples here. that's freezing rain advisories for washington, d.c. as well as baltimore tomorrow morning. philadelphia right on the cusp here. new york city, winter weather
1:23 pm
advisory. let's time this out as the storm moves in. looking at the temperatures here, 34 in pittsburgh. north of that, we think it's going to be a snow event. 31 around the d.c. area tomorrow morning. the commute could be treacherous here. if you're listening and you're living in d.c., be really careful. we could have a problem tomorrow morning. and then new york, you're right on the cusp here, where we could see a mixture of snow or sleet or freezing rain or just plain rain. so this will be the bulk of it out of here by 8:00 p.m. but if you live across the i-95 corridor, it's going to be a tricky, tricky drive in. real quick want to show you we have some relief coming this week. a dive of cold air on wednesday. then all of this cold air retreats way up in canada. by this time next weekend, we could be dealing with temperatures above average. so there's some good news there. but really f you live across those big cities of the i-95 corridor, please, please, please be careful on the commute tomorrow. >> all right. good advice, janice. thanks so much. >> you got it. >> eric, a new video reportedly filmed just days before the
1:24 pm
horrifying it attack on the french satirical paper showing one of the suspected shooters pledging his allegiance to isis. we have all the details. and people all across france on high alert after several terror attacks there this week. we'll discuss what we can learn to prevent this from happening here at home. these ally bank ira cds really do sound like a sure thing but i'm a bit skeptical of sure things. why's that? look what daddy's got... ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
1:25 pm
growth you can count on from the bank where no branches equals great rates. music: melodic, calm music. hi this is conor. sorry i missed you. i'm either away from my desk or on another call... ... please leave a message and i'll get back to you... ... just as soon as i'm available. thank you for your patience at this busy time. join us for stargazing with discovery at sea. enjoy cruises from four ninety-nine during our 50th anniversary sale. call your travel consultant or 1-800-princess. princess cruises. come back new.

1:28 pm
well, all across the world today, millions of people are gathering together in solidarity against these terrorist attacks in france this past week. in rome, hundreds gathered near the french embassy in the square there for a vigil in support of the people of france. in gaza a small group of people held a candle light vigil outside the french cultural center there. meantime, in downtown beirut, hundreds of lebanese and french held up signs and pens in the
1:29 pm
square. and in london, in addition to illuminating the london tower bridge with french colors, more than 2,000 people joined together in trafalgar square where they raised pencils to the sky. meanwhile, here in new york, people have been placing flowers and notes at the french consulate on the upper east side. >> very nice. meanwhile, new developments on the gunman in friday's kosher grocery store standoff. pictures surfacing of the gunman reportedly supporting terrorists while sitting in front of the islamic state flag. he's also now being linked by prosecutors in the shooting of a jogger on the same day as the "charlie hebdo" attack. amy kellogg is live in paris with the latest on the investigation. amy? >> reporter: hi, arthel. well, terrorist amedy.m.medy coulibaly
1:30 pm
claims that he helped the kouachi brothers out financially. the "charlie hebdo" attackers, he claims were short a few thousand dollars. he says he coordinated with the kouachi brothers and pledges allegiance to isis in this video, saying the attacks this week were justification for attacks on isis targets. now, according to reports from past lawyers and neighbors, coulibaly made his money selling kalashnikov ammunition and drugs to high school students among others. this as law enforcement officials look into ways to better coordinate surveillance of terrorists and potential terrorists, including a greater sharing of air passenger data possibly creating some border checks in europe where now
1:31 pm
there are none, and coordinating on internet and gun trade surveillance. there was a meeting of these officials today at the same time in paris. this as the the mood at the march today was resolute, proud, and defiant with a myriad of messages. there were iranians holding posters with some of "charlie hebdo's" most notorious cartoons. and one sign that read "charlie akbar," in other words charlie is greatest. here's why people thought they absolutely had to be out today. >> i wanted to testify in favor of freedom of speech. i didn't like "charlie hebdo's" sketches. i found them rude and not significant, but i'm here so that in the future "charlie hebdo hebdo" can continue doing sketches i don't like. >> we are all here just to show we are with all of us all french people without any national, we are here to support and be together. >> arthel there are 400
1:32 pm
full-time investigators still working on the case in paris this week. >> okay. amy kellogg, thanks so much. eric? >> the attacks in france carried out by the radical islamic terrorists under the umbrella of extremism of al qaeda and isis, two separate groups that of course have used high-profile attacks to try to promote funding and more recruits to die for their cause. on friday, al qaeda's yemen affiliate claimed it directed cherif kouachi in the attacks. meantime we're learning more about amedy coulibaly after those pictures emerged of him sitting in front of an isis flag and claiming he was a part of that too. he, of course, is suspected of being mind the killing of a french policewoman and the killing and hostage taking at the kosher supermarket. so which is which? putting all this in perspective is a middle east journalist and
1:33 pm
fox news contributor. lisa godod to see you. so the brothers jump out and yell at a bystander, tell the media this is for al qaeda in yemen, in the arabian peninsula. at the same time, you get coulibaly sitting there in front of an isis flag. does it matter? >> it doesn't matter. a lot of people in the last 24 hours are making this distinction between isis and al qaeda or even saying there's a competition between the groups. there may be a competition when it comes to getting funding or recruit, but their bottom line is exactly the same. this is the red herring of jihad. this is the distraction that they want the rest of the world to be focused on while they carry out they're agenda. and what's going to happen is three, four, five days from now this happens after every attack, the rest of the world is going to go back to living life and they're going to go back to plotting as to how to take lives. what we are seeing are a lot of these similarities between the two groups. this is jihad 2.0. what isis brought to the forefront was this new savvy way
1:34 pm
of conducting jihad, meaning using social media, using rap videos having a tangible face on the group. they had al baghdadi. al qaeda, it's been a sleeper cell. it's been quiet. it doesn't mean they haven't been busy plotting away. >> you know what's going to come next. possibly within a week, i bet there's going to be video from hayat boou med yen. how long before a video of her pops up proclaiming her love for her deceased husband, calling him an islamic radical here, blah, blah, blah blah. >> exactly. this is exactly what we've seen seeing, this even lugs of jihad. another thing i want to point to is the connection of these jooe that i dids and their lives, their connection to these different grurps is not going to be as important as their deaths. their deaths will be used as
1:35 pm
prop began propaganda. they're fixated on launching attacks in the west. they speak english. they put out videos. if you don't go to them, you don't need to travel to yemen. they'll come to you in the comfort of your own home. >> through the internet. >> through videos. and they know how to connect to young, vulnerable people. >> youtube has pulled millions they say but why can't they stop this connection? >> they try. they try very hard to stop this. they try very hard to flag this. look at the internet and how massive it is. >> let me show you something that was really incredibly powerful. we got that video of the world leaders, merkel and hollande and abbas and prime minister benjamin netanyahu walking arm in arm. take a look at that. who's missing? where are we? eric holder was there. how come john kerry wasn't there? you don't have the president of the united states and maybe you don't have vice president joe biden, but putin sent lavrov the foreign minister of russia.
1:36 pm
you know who we had? ambassador jane hartley. you couldn't pick her out in a lineup. what does it mean when someone who 99.99% of americans don't even know, have never seen, or ever heard of until this very second? what does it mean if she's the highest ranking american official at this incredible demonstration against radical terrorism? >> it's deafening. the absence of american leaders today in paris is absolutely deafening. we have leaders from around the world who are really making a statement as to where they stand, and unfortunately right here d.c. our administration, they're just not ready. >> what could they possibly say -- what is josh earnest going to possibly say tomorrow? josh, what are you going to say tomorrow at the white house press briefing? well, a security reason. okay. what possible excuse could they have for not having a high-ranking official? well, the u.s. ambassador was there. that's it. >> over the last week, the question has been raised what
1:37 pm
can be done? here is the moment where something can be done where optics matter, where our president has never understood that what he says at podium matters. his position -- >> i can understand he's not there. netanyahu has been a target. you can understand why the president may not be there. why not kerry? they couldn't get him on an airplane? >> why not kerry? this is his job. was this not part of the job description? why isn't he there? you know what? what message is this sending to the rest of the arab world? when you have representatives from all these different countries, when you have representatives traveling there. you know what? >> what message does that send? >> we're just not ready. we have to fight ideology with ideology. let's talk about something else, where you have the president of the egypt coming out and condemning radical islam and calling for the rest of the muslim world to make a reform, to change islam. and let's juxtapose something. our president in 2008 or 2009 traveled to egypt at a university. you want to put these two scenings next to each other.
1:38 pm
he apologized for american exceptionalism. and here you have the president of egypt standing at a podium in what would be the equivalent of the vatican and calls out islamic extremism. if you put the two together, it's like look at where the arab world is headed. unfortunately, the u.s. has not caught up to that yet. >> we'll have to see what the white house says tomorrow. they obviously will have their reasoning and they'll publicly say that whether it was just logistics, inability to do that, security issues, or something that critics say is much deeper. lisa, thank you. arthel? >> okay. continuing coverage from paris straight ahead. plus, for the first time in more than a decade, the u.s. overtaking china in a very big category. we're going to tell you what it is coming up. do you suffer from constipation or irregularity? trust dulcolax® for dependable relief. try free at dulcolaxoffers.com dulcolax® tablets are comfort coated for gentle, overnight relief. hurry! try free at dulcolaxoffers.com.

1:42 pm
we have a live look at paris, where it is now 10:40 p.m. at night in the march.
1:43 pm
incredible day there. it's winding down. you're more than 3 million people gathered earlier today to join the world leaders in that unprecedented rally for a unity against terrorism. officials say it was the largest demonstration in french history even larger than when the allies liberated paris at the end of world war ii. rallies held throughout france and in major cities throughout the world. we've been monitoring all this and continuing with our live coverage and bringing you more from paris as it develops. after 15 years of lagging behind, the u.s. reclaiming its title as the biggest economy in the world. let's bring in brenda buttner now. she's our fox news senior business correspondent and the anchor of "bulls and bears." good to see you. >> you've been working long hours today, honey. >> so forgive me. this is great news. you're saying that the u.s. economy is now the leader in the globe. >> well, basically what a number
1:44 pm
of bank analysts are saying is, yes, the u.s. is now in the driver's seat of the global economy, whereas it's been the emerging markets, this acronym called b.r.i.c. it's not so much more that we are rising but they are falling. the explosive growth that we've seen in those emerging markets is starting to fall. now, there are some good things that are happening. we are going to have a gdp which is basically the best measure of the economy growth of about 3.2% this year. that's not incredible. i mean china's is still 6% 7%, but we are doing better in terms of economically. >> i believe the "s" in that is south africa. am i wrong? producers told me that. i got a cheat sheet.
1:45 pm
but the other once ies i knew on my own. but you said it's not so much that the u.s. is doing great but that the other countries are doing not so great. but i thought there was a point where they were all the rage in terms of economic development and gdp and all this stuff. so what happened? why did they slow down? >> absolutely. they were very much so. well, let's take a look at china. essentially, it's the world's biggest exporter, but its median income is so low. it's 4,000 versus 53,000 for us. that doesn't take into account that things are a lot cheaper in china. but consumers are not spending. there's a high domestic savings rate and there's the fear of deflation. that's what took down the japanese economy for a decade, essentially prices keep going lower, people don't buy. and china's going to have to learn not only to rely on other economies to sell its goods to, but it's also going to have to

rely upon itself. also, even though capitalism has entered into china the communist state still is a big part of many businesses. and state loans to those are not really kind of on the books. >> i was going to say china has to also rely on real numbers. >> yes, exactly. and that's, you know -- there's lots of things that we don't know about what's going on. also, environmentally, if you've ever been to beijing, it's like walking through a cloud there's so much pollution. they're going to have to deal with that. >> yes or no is this good news for the folks here at home? >> absolutely. >> okay. good job. brenda buttner thank you very much. you can catch miss buttner on "bulls and bears" -- >> brenda. >> exactly. my girl, b. every 10:00 a.m. eastern here on the fox news channel. >> following the terror attacks in france, major cities across our country are now on high alert. coming next, what we can learn from what happened in paris.

that is the only way we get ahead of the problem. >> yes but if i can interrupt in new york they took off the monitoring in and in france a neighbor went to the apartment saw the guns got scared and didn't say anything. one of the imams said they kept a kouachi out because they were disruptive. what did we do about that? >> we have to follow up on those things. sometimes you lose focus. the efforts and focus to stop this has to be redoubled. it is the only way we are going to stop them through a total commitment. the most important thing left out of this is the millions of eyes of citizens when they see something, say something bring it to the attention. police do not have all the eyes. you can add millions of sets of eyes and assistance. >> can you imagine if the

neighbor allegedly saw the guns and does not say a thing does go to the police and potentially could have stopped this. finally senator feinstein believes there are sleeper cells in this country right new. we know 100 americans have gone over for isis. what do we do? >> maybe we need better laws. the passports from the up. : there has to be a way when they come back spot country and using the passports we stop them from doing that. in terms of sleeper cells, that is probably a little bit of a confusing term, sleeper cell. you probably are never going to find out who is in a real sleeper cell until they come out and do something radical. what we do have though, is a bunch of people who talk about these kind of things and those are the people we have to address and get the information
