tampa, florida. he has also lived in ohio and most recently in new jersey. >> the attack left a trail of victims nearly one mile long along the bike path next to the hudson river. it ended near one world trade center when the truck ran into a school bus. norah o'donnell is near the scene in lower manhattan. norah, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning. that's right, we're standing about 50 yards in front of the rented truck that police say was used to deliberately plow down people on a busy bicycle path yesterday afternoon. now, this crime scene, it's still very active. in fact moments ago we saw investigators in white suits, a forensic team arrive on the scene to collect evidence. the governor told us this morning that they believe the suspect acted alone. there's no evidence to suggest this attack was part of some wider plot. jeff glor is here with new information this morning on this story. jeff, good morning. >> good morning to you. according to our source, saipov was very pleased with the outcome of the attack. he said he wanted to keep

driving down the bike path and didn't mean to run into the school bus. investigators also found knives inside the truck that caused so much devastation. >> i need multiple buses to west side highway, multiple down. >> the chaos and damage stretched for about 14 blocks, down a bike path in lower manhattan. >> we were really, really terrified and shocked what had happened and what we were watching at the moment. >> there was one female that i saw near the body. she must have seen it actually happen because she just kept screaming. it was -- >> we've got multiple casualties, this is a mass casualty situation here. >> emergency responders quickly swarmed the scene, loading the injured onto stretchers. >> one man on the floor with ems trying to help him and then two other people who were covered with sheets who appeared to have bikes next to them that looked like they were run over. >> the suspect apparently drove onto a path o west side of manhattan and traveled around 0.8 of a mile, striking

bikers and pedestrians before crashing into a school bus. he left the rental truck and ran through traffic armed with two weapons that police say were a pellet gun and a paintball gun. >> we have the perp in custody at this time. >> nypd officer ryan nash was one of the first on the scene. he fired on the suspect, hitting him in the abdomen and ending the attack. the suspect was arrested and taken to a hospital. more details are emerging on the nationwide investigation. in florida, fbi agents visited an apartment complex in tampa that was listed as the suspect's last known address. in new jersey, a bomb squad searched the suspect's personal vehicle at a home depot in passaic, where he allegedly rented the truck before the attack. in paterson, police searched an address where the suspect is believed to have been recently living. >> he lives here for three months. obviously, you can ask a lot of people here and no one knows him. no one recognize his face. >> the accused worked as a driver for uber.

he did pass the company's background check and drove for the service for about six months. the company says it is in touch with the fbi and, norah, it is offering its assistance. >> all right, thank you so much. the eight people killed in the attack, including five men from argentina who were visiting new york city. they were with a group celebrating the 30th anniversary of their high school graduation. a sixth person who died was from belgium. four people were hurt after the attacker's rented truck crashed into their school bus. we spoke with a man who ignored gunshots in order to take this video. demarco morgan is near the spot where the attack ended. demarco, good morning. >> good morning, norah. a massachusetts man who met his friends from argentina basically saw this situation unfold. he was also hurt in that attack. they were run over by the truck just moments before it rammed into a school bus and it all came to an end not far from where we were standing. you can see it's still a major crime scene.

one man who captured video of the mangled bus told us what he witnessed was extraordinary and horrific. firefighters and emergency crews worked to load those hurt along the lower manhattan bike path onto stretchers and into ambulances. five of the victims who were killed were part of a group of men from rosario, argentina, northwest of buenos aires, wearing shirts pro claiming the spanish word for free, they posed for this photo as they set off on the trip meant to pay tribute for more than three decades of friendship. one of the victims killed was from belgium. >> a car and a school bus like collided and people on the school bus got hurt. >> i just realized that that guy in the street had just basically plowed -- t-boned a bus full of kids. >> sebastian took this video moments after the attacker rammed into this yellow school bus. >> i have to chronicle this, i have to see who's on this bus and get the word out to the parents. >> its passenger side was caved in. two adults and two students on

the bus were hurt. >> the window was knocked out. it was apparent one of the kids flew across and bloke the window with his head. he was bleeding. then i saw a little girl trapped in the wheel well of that bus and some really pretty horrific sights. >> reporter: sobczak praised the efforts of the bus driver. >> the bus driver, i really feel for him. you could tell he was hurt. he was selfless in trying to get those kids out of the bus. he was in shock. >> most of all, the father of three said he wanted to make sure some of the attack's youngest victims were safe. >> the unknown is the terror that all parents have. i've never seen anything like that. and so it's all -- it's all surreal. i'm not sure i'm going to sleep tonight. >> the city of rosario, argentina, has set aside three days of mourning in tribute of the men killed here yesterday. meantime, the fbi has posted signs throughout this community

here in lower manhattan asking anyone if you have captured any video or know anything about this investigation, to call them right away. norah? >> all right, thank you. you think about it and that school bus in many ways may have stopped him from going more than a mile. there are just three schools just in this block. this is an area of lower manhattan, chelsea, where there are many families, many young children who go to school around here. i saw many of them all trying to get back to school today and continue with their lives. charlie, back to you in studio 57. >> thanks, norah. hours after the attack president trump tweeted, quote, i have just ordered homeland security to step up our already extreme vetting program. being politically correct is fine, but not for this. cbs news senior national security contributor michael morrell was acting and deputy director of the cia. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> from what we know this morning, what stands out for you? >> charlie, what stands out for me is that there is no doubt in

my mind that this was isis inspired. the reason is, it follows the isis playbook perfectly. several months ago isis published in an extremist magazine the following. get a truck. kill as many pedestrians as you possibly can. when you can't kill any more pedestrians, get out and either with a knife or gun kill more. and then let people know either through a note or through the words you say that you're doing this on behalf of isis. so he did all of those things. he didn't have a real gun, he had a fake gun, but boy, did he follow that playbook. >> it sounds they textbook. i thought we were gaining ground with isis. we just did a story recently celebrating the takeover, the downfall of isis in raqqah. does that mean that it really isn't over for them? they're growing stronger? >> they're not growing stronger, but nobody should think just because we're taking away their territory in iraq and syria that they're going away. they are now becoming a normal terrorist organization. they are going underground. they are going into the shadows.

they will still have influence. they will still be able to get their message out. >> should we expect more people to try to copycat what they did here in new york as they have done in europe? >> i think that's a really important point. the pattern we're seeing in europe now is an attack followed by copycat attacks. so we had the westminster attack in march followed by three attacks over the next four weeks. we have the manchester attack in may, followed by three attacks over the next four weeks. i'm not saying that's going to happen here, but we need to be vigilant about that. >> we know the suspect is from uzbekistan. the caucus in general like where the tsarnaev brothers are from is a hotbed in recruitment. given the heightened tensions between the u.s. and russia now, has that been affected at all? are they still cooperating on intelligence? >> the relationship between russian intelligence and u.s. intelligence has never been great, even on counterterrorism. they are very difficult to work with. >> the question that hangs over

this is what can police and homeland security people do to prevent this kind of attack? >> charlie, it's very, very difficult. if the individual doesn't tell other people what they're planning or doesn't express their extremist views to other people and those other people come forward to authorities, you're not going to find the person. and you can't put barriers up everywhere where there are pedestrians. this is virtually impossible to stop, which is why the terrorists are so attracted to it. >> and the individuals don't mind dying. people say, listen, you've got to live your life. more people die in car accidents and in falls in the shower. what do you say to that, mike? >> what i say to that is your car and your bathtub aren't trying to kill you, right? and those kinds of attacks don't leave people to want to give up their civil rights but terrorist attacks do. fundamentally different. >> thank you, mike, always good to have you here. ahead on "cbs this morning" we'll talk with new york governor andrew cuomo and new york city mayor, bill de blasio,

about their response to the attack. of course there's other news to bring you. lawyers for social media companies say russia continued to spread false information online even after the 2016 election. a senate judiciary subcommittee yesterday questioned representatives of facebook, twitter and google. the lawmakers wanted to know how russian-backed propaganda spread unnoticed to millions of americans? nancy cordes is outside of the hearing room where right now the senate intelligence committee is asking questions. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. those executives from facebook, google and twitter are facing more tough questions this morning about what steps they are taking to rout out those russian ads that plagued the 2016 election. they testified yesterday that an internet troll farm based in st. petersburg, russia, set up 120 facebook pages where it posted more than 80,000 pieces of content over two and a half years. all that content was then

delivered to the news feeds of approximately 29 million u.s. facebook users who then shared it unknowingly with millions more. minnesota's al franken wanted to know why such sophisticated tech companies didn't spot this problem sooner. >> those two data points spell out something bad. >> in hindsight it's one we missed. >> okay, okay. yeah. >> the tech executive said that russia's attempts to medal did not end after election day. they simply switched their focus from dent grating hillary clinton to doubts about president trump's victory. they say this is a sign that russia's overarching goal was not to support one candidate or another but simply to sew chaos

in the u.s. electoral system. newly released documents show how they closed in. the two men are expected to appear in federal court tomorrow. paula reed has more on new evidence in the investigation. >> reporter: good morning. both men are under house arrest, which is a pretty unusual arrangement for white collar crime. in the 17-page memorandum prosecutors say manafort and gates pose serious flight risks. the special counsel says manafort registered a phone and e-mail under an alias and travelled to mexico, china and eckwu dor. according to the document manafort has three u.s. pass ports.

andrew wiseman is known for flipping witnesses in high profile cases. in another document a judge says one of manafort's former lawyers could be called to testify making an unusual exception to attorney/client privilege made in cases where clients may have lied to lawyers. investigators are still interested in the june 2016 meeting at trump tower that manafort attended along with donald trump jr. and a russian lawyer to discuss potentially damaging information on hillary clinton. >> thank you. >> what is your reaction to george papadopoulos? >> while president trump tried to distance himself from the mueller indictments the special counsel will be interviewing one official this week and more after the president's trip to asia including white house communications director hope hicks. the grand jury will also be here at federal court to hear more evidence. cbs news learned there are more

documents under seal but it is not clear who if anyone will be publically charged. >> house republicans push back today's planned release of sweeping tax overhaul after meeting last night to work on changes. they hope to make the plan public tomorrow one day before president trump leaves on a trip to asia. margaret brennan is at the white house with that story. >> reporter: the trump white house had hoped to focus this week on selling that republican tax plan but events in the past 48 hours have made that challenging. tax reform remains one of the few unifying issues for the republican party but gop lawmakers have yet to agree on key details which has pushed today's rollout to tomorrow. donald trump tweeted that republican members are working hard. a one-day delay won't matter and said everybody knows it's going to pass. and the president does need a

legislative victory. public opinion may not be on his side. in the latest cbs news poll 7 of 10 americans say other issues should take priority over tax cuts and over 60% thought wealthy and large corporations should have taxes increased. so in order to sell this proposal a number of key cabinet members are staying behind here in washington instead of going to asia with the president. ivanka trump will be crisscrossing the country. all of you dodger fans are gearing up for game seven in los angeles. >> this is too good to end in six. >> l.a. won game six 3-1 defeating houston astros and their star pitcher verlander. it has been 29 years since dodgers won it all. >> coming up on cbs, new york

city terror attack targeted the busiest bicycle path in the country. how it closely follows the isis play book.

we with will know back to the scene of the terror attack. >> you're watching cbs this morning.

♪ new york governor andrew cuomo and mayor de blasio joined thousands at the halloween parade after the terror attack in lower manhattan. part of the route was blocks away from where the attack started. there was increased security with extra police on hand. dump trucks full of sand blocked access. new york city parade has become one of the biggest halloween parties in the country. you can see why. the rule is anybody can march as long as they are in costume. saw interviews with many people saying they wouldn't be any other place. >> send a signal from new

yorkers. >> a patriotic feel. >> welcome back to cbs this morning. three things you should know. we have new developments in the deadly truck attack. source tells cbs news that sayfullo saipov told police he wanted to keep driving but accidently crashed into a school bus. in a ten page note he suggested that isis will endure. investigators recovered knives at the scene. president trump pledged government help and called the attack cowardly and said his administration would provide its full support to the new york city police department including through a joint investigation with the federal bureau of investigation. and thanked first responders who stopped a suspect and rendered immediate aid. and andrew cuomo increased security across the state after the attack. the new measures focus on airports, bridges, tunnels and mass transit.

governor cuomo said additional security will be deployed in high density areas and cities and at large public gatherings. reporting from the scene of the attack. earlier this morning she spoke with new york's governor. >> reporter: good morning to you. we want to bring in governor cuomo because he joined at a briefing soon after the attack and promised we will be vigilant. his participation in the halloween parade in greenwich village is a signal that he wants the people of new york city to keep living their lives. governor andrew cuomo is with us now. it was good to see you and many others out at the parade last night. let me ask you what are we learning about the suspect and did he have any accomplices? >> well, the investigation is ongoing. the best evidence we have is that he was quote/unquote a lone wolf model. they are going through social

media to see what connections he may have had. there are very few interactions with law enforcement. he was a truck driver. he had some vehicular violations. state police actually helped him and his truck out of a ditch at one time. there is no evidence now that it was part of a larger conspiracy or larger plot. this is the evolution of the jihad tactics. it's no longer geographically isolated. the internet has given them a global platform and global training ground and they have a very simple play, rent a car or truck, create mayhem and try to disrupt society. and that's what yesterday was, depraved coward, in my opinion rented a truck and we lost eight people and that's terrible, but

they were not successful. they did not disrupt new york city. they did not disrupt new york state. we went to the halloween parade. we had a great parade. i went myself not because i had a great costume but because it was about showing up. and new yorkers showed up. and they did not instill terror. so they failed. >> governor, i'm standing just about 50 yards in front of that truck that the terrorist used and it is still here out on the scene as investigators continue their work here. a federal law enforcement official tells cbs news that a note was found in that rental truck that referenced isis. what can you tell us about that note? >> well, again, the investigation is ongoing, but, yes, there was a note that referenced isis. in many ways this was now a quote/unquote classic case of a

radicalization of a domestic jihaddist who associated with isis and this is their new play book, very simple. use a vehicle to cause harm. it's new york. it's london. it's germany. it's france. it's ohio. so this is more of what we have seen. you have to remember, this goes back to 1993, almost 35 years my father was governor when we had the world trade center bombing. we lost six people. then we had 9/11. so there have been many attacks to knock down new yorkers. they have all failed. and, look, new york is a target. we have that statue in our harbor that holds the lamp of freedom and democracy and there are a lot of haters who want to

knock that lamp out. they have tried before. they will try again i'm sure and they will fail every time, i'm sure. >> and one of the reasons they will fail is in part because of the great work of the nypd. i don't want to go without pointing out the work of 28-year-old ryan nash who stopped him from carrying out further attacks. how is his condition today? >> his condition, again, i want to leave the details until the family is spoken to, but he is a hero. there is no doubt. nypd did a great job. fdny did a great job. the fbi, the coordination of all, homeland security on the federal side was very helpful. national guard was helpful. unfortunately, we have been through this before. we have the best security on the

globe. it's the most coordinated and we have first responders who are heroes and that's what you saw yesterday and you have seen before. >> governor cuomo, thanks for keeping us up to date. we appreciate you joining us this morning. let's go back now to studio 57. >> we are so thankful. new york city police worked for years to prevent a terrorist from using a truck as a weapon. the law enforcement effort in response to isis calls for attacks on pedestrians. we invite you to subscribe to our "cbs this morning" podcast. find them all on itunes. you're watching "cbs this morning." apps. you're watching "cbs this morning." ...isn't it time to let the real you shine through? maybe it's time for otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months,...

through people on a bike path along the hudson river. according to our source this morning, he was bragging and unapologetic from his hospital bed. he also said he did not intend to hit the school bus and wanted to continue down the path. now, investigators say that having a secondary weapon like a knife, which he had, actually comes from the icy handbook. they believe he act alone and say there's no evidence of a wider plot, but the truck driver caused utter chaos. >> be add vised. we have multiple people on the ground from chambers up to halston. we have a mass casualty situation here. >> i heard a loud bang. the front of the car was totallied at that point. >> i need an ambulance right here, right here. got t-boned. there's a kid right there. >> the driver, he didn't look like he was bleeding or anything per se. he did have a noticeable limp as he was getting out of his car. he looked like he was dragging his foot a little bit and was screaming in the street. >> suddenly i heard the gunshots

and then i went down because i was scared. after the gunshots, i didn't know which was the gunshots coming from. i just heard it. then i saw the guy the ground and the cops just got him. >> at first i thought it was fireworks so we walked over to see what was going on, and then we get up there and we see bodies on the floor. we were just shocked. >> it is a tragedy of the greatest magnitude. for many people and family also here in new york city and beyond today, i wand to commend the response of our nypd officer on post near the location who stopped the carnage moments after he began. >> there you heard it. the nypd commissioner mentioned the officer, ryan nash, who was one of the first responders on the scene. he actually shot the suspect in the abdomen but he is doing okay. five of the eight people who died in the attack were friends from argentina. they were in new york celebrating a 30-year high school reunion. another victim was from belgium but has not been identified. the suspect lived in tampa, florida and also in ohio.

our hometown. talk about the soft target of bike paths in particular. >> sure. we have gotten better about protecting large public areas, but the difficulty in a bike path that is the length of the island of manhattan, it is near impossible for authorities to really protect that in a way that you would hope. so people are vulnerable when they're there. >> you're going to brief the president of the united states later today. >> so the president has -- the principles committee meeting is meeting this morning. this is the national security principles. they'll then brief the president later this morning about ledes in the investigation. >> what's the most important thing you can tell him? >> the most important thing today is, remember, this guy was a permanent legal resident. he was a legal citizen. the president has been on twitter this morning, frankly understandably so, because it allowed him to sponsor others from uzbekistan which has been a hotbed of islamic extremism. there's the islamic movement of uzbekistan. it was affiliated with isis, and

this attack goes by the isis play book, right? take a van or a truck, leave a note behind, get out brandishing a gun or knife. he did this by the book and, frankly, it is understandable that they're going to look at his immigration status and who else he could have brought into the country. >> what was known about him by authorities? >> you know, not much, charlie. while he came up tangentially in another investigation, we don't know much about that. understand, in order to target him, if you happen to walk by or get in the cab of a terrorist and you come up, that's not enough legally to predicate on you as a u.s. citizen. as i say, a legal permanent resident gets all of the u.s. citizen protections, and so i don't believe based on law enforcement sources i'm talking to they had enough to predicate on him. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. to honor the victims of the attack, one world trade center was lit up in red, white and blue last night. the governor said they are the

think might be suspicious, bring it to a police officer because it can be the difference. it can be the life saver. >> have you talked to the officer in this case? >> i look forward to it later today. he did an amazing job responding quickly and, you know, that officer who is only five years on the force. >> 28 years old. >> who knows how many he saved with quick action. >> this is a case with the suspect in cuss can toddy. >> yes. >> what can you tell us about what he's saying? >> very early. look, over time we are hopeful working with the fbi and federal partners we will get more information about what happened here, but it is too early on to assess this individual. >> it is the assumption he is inspired by isis but that's the extent of it? >> the assumption is he is an extremist and terrorist. who he is inspired by and how is too early to say. >> there was a note found? >> there was a note found. >> what did it say? >> without going into detail i would say the note and what he said coming out of the vehicle and manner of the attack made it clear it is an act of terrorism.

we have to be smart about not ascribing to a particular group until we have more evidence. >> as i mentioned earlier, it happened a block away from my apartment. you are right, the city is very resilient. people were out trick or treating as it was taking place, but you can't help but notice the increased police presence here. we have the new york city marathon coming up this weekend. what extra measures are you taking now in light of this event? >> there will be huge police presence, a lot you will see and a lot you won't see. let me tell you, last night was -- after the pain and the loss and our hearts go out to these families who lost people, new yorkers within hours, a million strong, came out to our annual halloween parade. i talked to a lot of them. i asked them how they were feeling, and people said, we're not going to give in. we're not going to change because of terrorists who are trying to change our way of life. i was inspired by it. >> nypd is famous for looking at terrorist incidents to see what they can learn from them, whether they take place here or somewhere else. >> correct. >> what have we learned from this incident so far? >> we learned, i think, we have

to constantly reassess where we put up our physical barriers. there was an incident in times square some months ago. it was not terrorism, it was unfortunately someone with a profound mental health problem, an american, and in that instance we made physical changes. we will continue to make physical changes. when it comes to big parades and events, new year's eve, the thanksgiving parade, we don't allow vehicles to cross them anymore. that there used to be big breaks where people could cross and we don't allow that now. this is an ever-evolving situation, but i can tell you from the new york city perspective, it is simple. put a lot of officers out, well-armed to send a deterrent message, and engage all communities to get the information we need because, again, the attacks which have been stopped which we don't talk about in some cases were based on everyday people who went to a police officer and shared information.

that's -- that could be the key in any of these cases. so we have to say to people, don't hesitate. if you think something might be suspicious, share it with the authorities because it could make a huge difference. >> intelligence makes a big difference. >> yes, it is the life saver. >> regardless of how insignificant it might feel, you think they're wasting time, it is okay. people want their time wasted if you can make a difference. >> let me tell you. and let the police judge if something has value. if you think it is suspicious. >> right. >> if you overhear a conversation -- we've had people in all communities overhear something, go to an officer -- again, without going into detail i can say some of those times it led us to someone who meant to do harm and they were stopped. >> all right. mayor de blasio, thank you for coming the see us today. three professors at an ivy league school are accused of sexual misconduct. ahead, the criminal investigator into faculty members at dartmouth college. on campus with reaction of meet

facebook could ever find it all. >> you've got 5 million advertisers, and you're going to tell me that you're able to trace the origin of all of those advertisements? >> senator, the commitment we are making -- >> no, sir, i'm just asking about your ability. not commitment. can you do it today? >> we're not able to see beyond the activity we see on the platform. >> the executives were asked pointblank if russia was successful at swaying the electorate. they said they were not equipped to answer that question. >> thanks, nancy. republican senator james langford of oak is on the senate intelligence committee. he's at today's hearings, which is under way right now. he joins us early this morning from capitol hill. >> good morning to you. >> senator, you're on the senate intelligence committee. you're going to hear today from representatives of silicon

valley, officials like facebook and others. what do you think is necessary now to stop what has happened in the past? >> first thing has already happened, actually. that is to be able to acknowledge that the russians and other individuals are trying to get into our information systems on social media and to try to influence opinions on that of there were false statements that came out. for instance, statements about you could text this number to vote that you don't have to go in to vote. you can try to text this number. clearly, that's designed for voter suppression. we had individuals able to stir things up internationally. we want facebook and google and twitter to engage, which they have, and to say how do they prevent a foreign actor from trying to reach into the american system and deter our own voting system. but also just our normal communications. one thing when an american disagrees with another american, it's something entirely different from someone outside who reaches into the united states, trying to stir us up. >> have they done enough? these companies? >> well, they are starting to do more. they have hired more staff. they're starting to look at where things are coming from. obviously, they've shut down some of the obvious things, like the buying ads with -- based on

rubles out of russia. but trying to isolate individual accounts and seeing whether this is a russian troll farm, trying to stir people up. that job is not finished yet. we think it can be, and something they can do. it's something we should not have to step in and try to oversee a free speech platform. free speech platform should be its own and monitor itself. >> do you want to hear from the ceos on this matter? >> i'm trying to hear from attorneys and counsels at some point. the ceos are accountable for their company. but at this point, i'm fine to hear from their representatives. they should be bringing the official word from the company, and to me, that's sufficient at this point to be able to help push back and say, what are you doing? >> what's your reaction? because you said sit on the sen intelligence community. to the mueller indictments that took place yesterday. >> those indictments that came out starting on monday, those separate indictments are something we expected robert mueller to do, quite frankly. there are individual questions that are out there and they need to be addressed. >> can you tell us what they

might be in terms of links between uzbekistan and terrorism? >> yeah. there's been a long-standing connection between terrorism. obviously, it's typically into russia and that region. there is also been a long standing relationship between several islamic radical groups in that region, as well. we're trying to unwrap all of this in the days ahead. there is still a long way to go to test social media communications, where there's direct communication or was this inspired. that is still being unwound right now. >> when the president says he wants to ratchet up extreme vetting, what do you assume he means? >> i assume he's trying to evalua evaluate family connections. one of the most difficult areas you may have an individual that comes in with a clean record but there is also family connections of terrorism. so you have to be able to evaluate the whole of it. we have seen family members reach out to other family members once they reached western countries. so i would assume that's wha he means. obviously, the white house diplomat get a chance to speak out to that. >> do you think extreme vetting is a good idea, under these

circumstances? >> i think extreme vetting has gone on for a long time. something even the obama administration stopped for a season and said we've got to reevaluate how we're doing vetting and go through the process. the process is 18 months long. sometimes it is a process where you discover that we don't know anything, and so it's assumed to be good. rather than we know something positive about it. and part of the issue on vetting is, do you try to validate, do we know something positive about an individual, know their background, family, or do you just say they're not on a terror watch list so they must be okay? that's the balance you have to run. >> senator, the suspect we know is here with a green card that he won apparently in a lottery system, which is popular amongst oo uzbekistan. can you talk about what that means going forward with this lottery program? >> the lottery program has been evaluated for years. there are 50,000 individuals worldwide that just apply to get in the green card lottery. they don't bring any special connection, any special country or family member. they just apply. now, a lot of the smaller

countries are countries that have a more difficult time getting u.s. citizenship love it, because they have the opportunity to be able to do that. it's been something we've evaluated for a long time to say we should really have a system where you come into the united states with a certain skill that the united states needs, rather than just you're one of 50,000 individuals worldwide that won the lottery. >> senator lankford, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. and fear didn't stop a famous new york halloween celebration. ahead, how the city's raucous halloween party turned i
