november 119th "early tod.". with a thanksgiving day parade a week away. officials remain individuality. >> ash carter confirms america is at war. >> you agree with the french president that we're at war with isis. >> yeah. i think francois hollande is very well. i'm glad they are galvanized. >> and one atf agent says the photo looks very reel. >> and that horribly out of control helicopter.

entirety congratulates islamic state for the deadly paris attacks. >> there is no doubt there is a message here aimed at the united states and it is france as well. the fact that no place is safe. >> in the days following the paris attacks u.s. cities have been on high alert. especially new york. which announces a new counterterrorism strike force on monday. >> we have also be consciously focused on is not only significant areas such as time square or many of the tourist tractions on stadiums and major events but the soft targets. >> late last night, new york city mayor, bill de blasio and police commissioner addressed the video. >> the people of new york city will not be intimidated. it is important to note there is no credible threat. >> there is nothing now about that video.

that video, our review of it. it oox like it has been hastily produced. it is a mishmash of previously released video and that is what terrorists seek to do. they seek to create fear. they seek to intimidate. we will not be intimidated and we will not live in fear. >> secretary of defense ash carter is also speaking out about isis saying in an exclusive interview with morning joe that we are at war with the group. >> how can you ensure the american people there is indeed a strategy and the leadership role america is taking against isis faces the threat. >> we have to defeat isis. it is something that must be defeated. >> you agree with the french president that we're at war with isis. >> i think francois hollande has said it very well.

and nbc news had not yet confirmed a report in the washington post that the alleged ring leader abaaoud was among the dead. all the prosecutor would confirm is he nor the accomplice abdeslam were taken into the custody. the prosecutor also said the suspects weapons cache indicated they were prepared to carry out even more attacks. authorities said a woman opened fire on police before detonating a suicide belt. a

>> in manila, mocking republicans, president obama aiming a withering attack at those who want to close u.s. borders to syrian refugees. >> apparently they're scared of widows and orphans coming into the united states of america as

part of our tradition of compassion. >> no names but no mystery who's talk about about. some republican candidating proposing to let out syrian muslims but let in christian refugees. accusing them of retd rick playing into the terrorist hands. >> i cannot think of a more -- more potent rekrusmt tool for isil. >> accusing the president of playing politics. >> the president lives in a fantsd world. >> i think he's a threat to our country. >> i would encourage you mr. president come back and insult me to my face. let's have a debate on syrian ref yees right now. >> that debate making headlines after reports one of the attackers may have entered europe as the refugee. with national security at home front and center now for the race of the white house. >> if these attacks remind us of anything it is that we're living in serious times that require serious leadership.

>> jeb bush is calling for more u.s. troops to be sent to the mideast. his emphasis on seriousness, a subtle dig at donald trump and ben carson who's in and out an media blitz. carson's own advisors think he's struggling. >> a year from now i'll know a loot more than i know now. >> and others see warning signs. >> coming out of the attacks in paris that could spell a disaster for a candidate who's really not prepared. >> vice president joe biden is backing up the president in the argument over syrian refugees vouching for the vetting process. this is a process over the next year, year and a half. and these folks are vetted. and it is a story of who we are. >> but americans may disagree. a new online poll shows a majority of the public, 56% disapprove of increasing the number of syrian refugees coming into the country. that includes 8 in 10

republicans. and 65% support sending in additional ground troops in iraq and syria. majority of the both republicans and democrated polled agree on that. and tracy we could have some big developments in just a few hours. >> well the house is set to vote on pausing this program that allows refugees, moest mostly syrian refugees into this country. they want to put a temporary halt and beef up the verification process so you can mare shoo theme who are coming into this country not membered of isis. but that homeland security admits can be complicated. and this morning overseas president obama reemphasized, saying once again that the mostly women and children coming into this country he does not believe poses a threat. especially given the fact we have a nearly two year verification process for these refugees. the house vote is set to today.

it won't be a final vote. >> thank you so much. >> and that deadly helicopter crash captured on video. and it may be disturbing to some viewers. taken by an airport employee, shows the helicopter spinning out of control before the tail breaks ou s off. two killed in the crash. the man applying was a new pilot and he was trying to land on a helicopter cart used for toeing. federal aviation authorities are veging the crash. >> a stooch emergency in washington state. a powerful storm left homes flooded and knocked out power. and a state of emergency also declared in northwest kansas after a wintry storm dumped up to 20 ijs of snow in some areas. >> what a storm. all the wind damage we had in

the northwest. people losing their power. the blizzard, the tornados and then the heavy rain. even o the east coast yesterday. last night especially in the atlanta area, too much, too quick. and that is what happened. the deignage systems could not keep up. amazing shots there. now let's talk about the next storm system. it is a weak system going through. right rain. only the highest of elevations are seeing any snow and this is going the next weather making moving across the country. not big in the last storm. this will be a quick hitter and this one actually has a lot more cold air to work with. so from the mountains of wyoming through the midwest. this will be the first snowfall of the season for some areas and will reach chicago by saturday morning. areas like des moines, milwaukee, not chicago. our computers are predicting snow around jackson hole.
