clear. according to one officials, the shooters were linked to a yemeni terrorist organization the strong hold of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. that is all for now. the ed show picks up our coverage. welcome to "the ed show" live from new york. let's get to, would. join me in condemning the barbaric attack this morning. >> france's deadliest terror attack in at least two decades. >> the horrific attack in paris. >> this clearly was an organized hit. >> it was a direct assault on a corner stone of democracy. >> these terrorists attack freedom of the speech and press. >> it is closed by foreign fighters. >> these attacks can happen anywhere in the world.

>> it is the republic that has been attacked. >> every american stands with you today. good evening, americans. we start with breaking news. the world is reacting to a horrific terrorist attack that took place in paris, france, today. it is now 11:00 p.m. in paris. three suspects are still on the loose after delivering the country's deadliest terror attack in dead kadscades. they have identified the three suspects but not named them. the two masked gunmen involved in the attack were armed about ak-47 stormed the offices of the charlie charlie hebdo magazine. 12 were killed including two police officers and eight journalists.

several others were critically injured. the gunman reportedly screamed allah akbar during the shooting. it is in retaliation for the newspaper publishing satirical images of islam. france is under the highest level of terror alert. steve handlesman has the latest. >> reporter: leaving behind the dead or dying at the newspaper, the gunman in paris walked to a car, got in and escaped. france went on highest alert against more attacks. >> we will provide them with every bit of assistance that we can. >> reporter: president obama de deplored the killing of journalists. >> freedom of expression is something that can't be silenced because of the senseless shootings. >> reporter: today was a satirical newspaper, called charlie hebdo. it ran comics mocking the

prophet mohammed and was fire bombed in 2011. masked gunmen went to a staff meeting and killed everyone including a police bodyguard. they fired on police wounded another officer and then executed him. it was not a lone wolf attack like the one last month in australia or in canada in october. in paris, some mistook today's team of terrorist for elite french anti-forces terrorists. >> they had prior battle force experience or were able to get significant military training somewhere outside of france. >> isis claims 500 french fighters in syria and iraq. witnesses say today's attacker spoke perfect french. extra guards are posted at french facilities. a crowd gathered in solidarity with the french journalists. >> earlier today, french

president, francois hollande declared tomorrow a national holiday of mourning for france. a reaction from world readers arnold the world has been fast and stern. earlier today, british prime minister, david cameron, addressed the situation. >> what has happened in paris is an appalling terrorist outrage. i know that everyone in britain will want to stand with the french government and the french people at this time. we must never allow the values that we hold dear of democracy, of freedom of speech to be damaged by these terrorists. we must stand against what they have done. i feel huge sympathy for everyone in france particularly for the families of those who have lost loved ones. we will stand with you at this time. i no he that chancellor merkel will absolutely agree with me that everyone should condemn completely this and stand with the french people at this time. >> the manhunt for the three suspects is still underway at

this hour. we will bring you any updates or new details as we get them. for more let me bring in nbc news white house correspondent, kristen welker. how closely are american authorities working with the french in any kind of assistance to try to solve this horrific shooting? >> reporter: very closely, ed. in fact intelligence officials, national security officials have been in contact with their french counterparts throughout the day. late today, president obama spoke with french president francois hollande. earlier today, president obama condemned the attacks in the strongest possible terms and said that the united states would offer its full assistance to france as it continues its investigation. officials with the department of homeland security, the defense department secret service, are monitoring the situation. at this point, they are not increasing the threat level here. there is no known terror threat here against the united states at this point in time.

having said that president obama said that what happened in paris is a reminder as a terrorist attack can happen anywhere. we are seeing some beefed up security in some major cities like boston and new york city. so the obama administration continues to monitor this situation quite closely. president obama left this afternoon for a three-day, three-state trip that was initially supposed to be focused on the economy, previewing his state of the union address. now, undoubtedly, this terrorist attack, will to some extent at least, overshadow that trip. i'm told that president obama is going to get regular briefings throughout the day the evening and over the coming days as he continues on that trip. ed? >> kristen welker at the white house, thank you for your time tonight. appreciate that. let me bring in mikey kay international foreign affairs correspondent and steve clemens msnbc contributor and editor at-large for the atlantic. mikey, you first. how sophisticated, how

well-trained were these attackers today? >> ed i think the video that you were shown, i think it has a lot of clues in that. it is certainly from my experience, it looks calm. it looks methodical. it looks premedicated. these guys look like they had prior training. there was no urgency in them wanting to get away. that tells me they have scouted out this location. the fact that the magazine was being launched on a wednesday. it was the day of the attack. they would have known that there was a big meeting going on headed up by stephon sharbonneier, the editor that was killed. >> so there was a level of planning? >> it certainly looks like that. >> the ruthlessness of the execution of the man that was shot and then shot in the head right on the sidewalk brings us to the understanding of just how

ruthless these people are. we don't know who and why and there is no confirmed responsibility. what do you make of that? >> clinical is the word. it was absolutely clinical. for me there has to have been some former experience. there has to be some sort of training that has gone on prior to this event happening. we have seen the evenlths that happened in sydney where a lone wolf goes into a cafe. it is all sort of a little bit discombobulated. this wasn't. this was premedicated. these guys knew what they were doing. if i was the intelligence community, i would be looking deep into the backgrounds of the suspect. >> how valuable is this videotape? >> it is incredibly valuable. the intelligence community will be sprawling all over this. it gives some very good clues as to the mind-set of these perpetrators. >> let's go to steve clemens.

steve, good to have you with us. >> good to be with you guys. >> what is this signal a new type of warfare that we are going to be seeing possibly coming? what do you make of it? >> i think there has been a lot of discussion today about lone wolf attacks and why this isn't that. mikey kay went into great detail. he is a terrific analyst of what we saw unfold. as many people watching this they are looking at how clinical deliberate, confident and methodical this whole incident was. you worry it becomes a template for others. the biggest concern, this was a self-selected cell one that wasn't completely concerning to isis. you are seeing a capacity develop and metastasize here. that is very disconcerting. you have to analyze this look at it and look at how you pull the plug on this kind of activity. it is hard.

you you don't know where they will hit or strike. paris is not, actually a non-secure city. it is a very secure city. >> what about social media? that, of course has played a big factor in the aftermath of this today. intelligence authorities, how closely are they paying attention and how credible do they think it could be? >> they are paying a lot of attention to the social media. i have been talking to officials that are paying more the attention to the linkage between people. other groups that were not talking about the al qaeda affiliate groups in yemen and north africa. there was i avisit by the minister of defense from france to washington a couple of months ago where he was expressing concern about increased coordination and communication between groups that were based in africa and outreach to isis and mimicry of isis. that was one of the things. he tried to raise an alert level

here in washington and invite a number of journalists including myself to talk about that. this has been on the french radar screen for some time. there is an awful lot of analysis and constant churning of the social media can activity going on as a way to do something. once you see that map, what do you do with it? >> as an accomplished journalist of decades, how do you feel about this? this is to me a new wave of terror and sets up a whole new three a ter theater of possibilities that could take place on freedom of speech and those that were involved industry. >> you have hit it on the head. it is very disconcerting. a short while ago, somebody asked me what should the united states be doing? >> hug your journalist, your comics, people out there creating culture, making films, writing. we have battles between the department of justice and reporters doing their jobs.

you have in turkey a jailed cartoonist who they don't like. you have in egypt a journalist sitting in jail because of them reporting the news. we are talking about horrible acts that terrorists have taken today against journalists. governments are also setting a very poor standard. right now, the best thing every government can do particularly liberal governments that are trying to abhor what happened in paris. that's very disconcerting that is not happening around the world. >> outstanding observation. how confident are you that these suspects will be apprehended? >> i am pretty confident. the bbc is reporting that they have actually been identified. i think they will be able to run but not hide on this. this is fascinating. steve has already touched upon some of the groups that could be involved.

there are a plethora. it is bakr haram. there is a myriad of organizations that could have influpsin influenced this. the french have had issues with jihad. is since 2003 people wanting to go to iraq pulled there by the then leader of iraq taken out by a u.s. air strike in 2006. this has been brewing for a long time. the europe has a protect arm to its counter insurgency strategy which is trying to identify how the disenfranchised people within the countries are growing. that in my opinion, is just as importance. >> constant surveillance and intel. there is no protection in a free society to stop things such as

this. you have to be lucky to be able to stop it. >> you have to take a step back. you have to take the holistic approach to this threat. we have to have the support of the regional partners, saudi arabia. >> if they are making a determination on criticism, critique or disparaging media comments or satirical critique or anything like that this opens up a whole pandora's box that we have never seen before. >> i have seen pictures in france as we speak. there are thousands and thousands of french public amassing together in solidarity to say, look you can cover this all you want. we are going to carry on with our lives. we are still going to report freedom of speech, freedom of press. we are going to carry out and exercise those democratic values. whatever you do isn't going to change that. the response by the french

public is phenominal. >> nbc news has confirmed three suspects have been identified. two are in their 30s. the other suspect is 18 years old. what do you make of that demographic, mikey? >> again, i've done a lot of research into this. i have been to lebanon. i spoke with radical sheikhs. this is about the younger society. i was in central asia doing a report on radical islam. you speak to the elders the moderates. they are very happy and content with the moderate form of islam. you speak to the youth, the younger generation that's where the disenfranchisement is occurring. that's what we need to address, these youngsters that have been disenfranchised, that are going to the mosques and absorbing this hatred and victory espoused by certain imams. we need to understand the secondary consequences of our own foreign policy. we have to look inwardly as

well. >> steve clemons, as this all unfolds in the hours and the aftermath and coverage and feeling of it all, it is emotionally paralleling that of 9/11, when you see the world out commenting on this. this could also be a unifying moment again, not that we haven't had it since 9/11 but revisiting the unification to fight terrorism and to understand the threat that is out there. how do you respond to the response of the french people in the way they are protesting in solidarity right now? >> i think what mikey laid out about the people sticking with their freedoms of expression and saying we are going to continue to do what we do and have a healthy civil society and not be intimidated. i would like to see candlelight vigils all around the world in honor of the people that died in this horrific attack. i would like to see them in riyadh and jeddah and tehran

where you have civil societies and government and stress and you have this confusion. it is time for those societies and the leadership in those societies to stand up and spit on what happened today. for people who want to see better lives, for their children and society, to stand up and say, our world does not include what we saw happen in paris. what i really want to see is that to infect in a positive way? >> thanks for being here on the ed show with our coverage. france's message to the world. we are not afraid. we will look at what this deadly attack means for freedom and the press abroad here at home as well. keep it here. we'll be right back.

liberty. freedom of expression is part of democracy. democracy was targeted in today's attacks in paris, france. two gunmen opened fire inside the offices of satirical newspaper charlie hebdo. thousands are gathering in a public square in paris holding a vigil in solidarity for the lives losted. charlie edo charlie hebdo has been a target in the past. they were accused of blasphemy for publishing a cover the muslims called offensive. they were bombed one day after they printed a caricature of the profit mohammed. france has a long history of sacrifice for price of freedom. in 2015 lives should not be lost for freedom of expression.

you can feel the world uniting as this coverage continues around the world tonight. joining me now is suzanne nozzle executive director of the penn american center and also with is nagin fasad, writer and director of the comic director "the muslims are coming." you first, nagin, the culture of france attacked today, not just a newspaper but a real culture. i think that is evident in the fact that the french people are out protesting tonight in solidarity. what do you make of this? put in words what you have experienced today? >> there is nothing more to say than it is really completely tragic totally wrong. i'm a muslim and i denounce this act. i am not exactly sure what else there is really to be said.

this type of satirical news coverage isn't new. it has been around for ages. why this and why now? >> you can't really answer that question when you are dealing with a dir ranged group of people. i can't say why there are mass shootings in the united states and why they are deranged and why they do it. i think we really want to get on talking about this as a terrorist plot and giving it a larger geopolitical significance. i am more interested in saying these people are really dir derarnged and if they are doing it in the name of islam, they are not muslims. >> where does it all go from here suzanne? how much of a mark on this is freedom?

it really underscores a new level of bravery to do what we do. >> it comes on the heels of the sony attack. it intimidated a movie studio and led to the cancellation of another controversial film. people that believe that insults, defenses whether it is to kim jong-un or the prophet mohammed, whether muslim leaders around the world stood up and denounce this. there are several here in the united states. they are doing so at some of the islamic organizations. i think we are still waiting to hear from some of the heads of state and clerics that have a very influential voice. it is the work of deranged individuals. there is an ideology at work. there las been an effort in the u.n. to impose a global ban on blasphemy. there are people that believe

that these insults are justifications and provocations for violence and can actually legitimize violence. >> that's why i said earlier in this broadcast asking the question is this a new wave of motivation for terror in this world? it is almost like they are looking for any morsel of information or reason they can to go hit innocent people. >> there is an ideology. it began in 2005 with the danish cartoons and protests some of which turned deadly in danish consulates and diplomatic. we saw the innocence of muslims and a trigger of violence as far away as afghanistan. it is an intensification that is building. today is the first time we have seen something so methodically targeted and planned. 80-year-old cartoonists inside an office. that has struck a very deep cord and forced people who maybe have ignored this issue until now to

come to grips with it. >> professionally, what does it do to people that do what you do. >> i think for people that are really in the game it does nothing. we are going to stick to our jokes and sattire. >> you wouldn't change anything? >> i have said plenty of things on camera that have gotten me in trouble and hate mail from christians jews and muslims and nothing has ever stopped me. this is really tragic. this is really awful but i don't think that it will stop. i don't think it will stop the sa satirists of france. >> the commentary, "the muslims are coming," is it the right thing to do? >> to get people to build a bridge with the mustlims. recently president hollande

commemorating 100 servicemen that fought in world war ii. i wish that positive association was pasted. instead, we take these violent acts that happen with a few people and paste that on to the entire world. it is no the at a logical way of looking at it. >> will there be industry changes? you mentioned north korea, suzanne. could that be the norm. >> we certainly are hearing about that in the film industry. what happened to sony is giving all industry executives a measure of pause. i don't know how quickly we will see another assassination film related to a sitting head of state. i think that negin is right. many satirists say we are coming back harder. we published images from charlie hebdo today. to stand firm and say we want

these images to get out farther and wider. there are individual editors that are making calculations. somewhere in the back of their minds, do these fears for safety reputation employees, play some part in this judgment call? that's hard to say. i think we do have to be on guard for a chilling effect. i don't think we can dismiss it. >> urine stingt right now as people who work in the industry of say whatever you want. how threatened do you feel? how emboldened are you right now? how do you think the world is going to react to this? there is a protest out there. what is the aftermath of this going to be. >> there is kind of a fine line. editors certainly think about when it is an anti-semitic cartoon or an anti-muslim cartoon. in the united states we are a multicultural society. very conscious of religious and ethnic differences.

it can be a fine line between that kind of editorial judgment and a self-censorship. this goes too far. too incendiary. it could be too dangerous. >> you think that critique will be there. that evaluation of work will be there that maybe hasn't been there in the past. >> i don't know if people will be up front about it. it works in insidious ways. we can't exclude that. every editor who is going to look at a cartoon that is inflammatory. >> there used to be a mind-set print it let's go you know. it might not be like that. is that what i'm hearing? >> there is a time too when you could deny the holocaust in france. they have been denying the holocaust in france. there might be something along the lines that the french might tackle when it comes to hollande. that might be something we have seen coming out of this.

>> how do you think your audience is going to be receiving "the muslims are coming." >> i hope they receive it in the spirit it was made. we are trying to build a bridge between muslim-americans and americans. muslim-americans are not sowaudis or pakistanis. they are a completely different group. we are a loving people. >> negin farsad and suzanne nozzle, great to have you here with us tonight. coming up president obama pledges support to france. we'll talk to congressman, tim ryan about the nation's terrorist response. later, combatting violence and hatred here in the united states. we'll have the latest on the attack on the colorado naacp.

welcome back to "the ed show." we are following today's breaking news out of paris, france. two gunmen armed with ak-47s stormed the office of the french newspaper, charlie hebdo. the gunman fled the scene in a waiting car. the "associated press" has identified the three suspects who carried out the attacks. there have been no arrests. the suspects have been identified. french prosecutor francois bozinbozi bozine, details of the manhunt are being kept confidence. i am joined by nbc news's cassandra vinograd. what is the latest from paris? >> reporter: the latest is that

french police have confirmed the identities of the three suspects, two 30-year-old men and one 18-year-old. as far as other information, they are keeping it pretty close to the vest. it is a massive manhunt. police have really stepped up security. >> cassandra, if they have identified the suspects do they know who they are associated with? how much information do we know about where these attackers came from? >> reporter: to be honest, with he know, very, very little at the moment. i wouldn't want to speculate. we know the suspects have been identified as sayid kowachi, 32, sahid kowachi and moad morachi. it is tune so say who they are affiliated with. >> how are the people in the community of paris reacting? there has been some solidarity

protests that have unfolded spontaneously in this city. describe what's happening for us? >> reporter: the french president, francois hollande said earlier, it is important for everyone to come together. that's what we are seeing in paris. tens of thousands have turned out for a rally in support of charlie hebdo, the magazine. they are filling an iconic landmark in paris saying, "we are charlie." they are supporting the magazine and staff and those, the families of those that lost loved ones and showing the press will not be silenced. >> what is the strategy at this snoint how resourceful, are all resources and all hands on deck being made to apprehend these three? give us a description of how much effort is being put in by

authorities. >> reporter: authorities are sparing no amount of manpower. they have deployed 16 additional police units throughout paris. they are sending out extra military personnel to beef up security at public places and tourist sites and shopping malls, places of worship. you name it. they really pledge that they will track down the perpetrators of this horrific attack and make sure they will see justice. >> is there a level of shock that such innocent people who have made their living, freedom of the press been viciously and violently and horrifically attacked. if you could describe the demeanor of the french people of how they are responding to this and how emotionally straining this is for them as far as being so shocked that this happened. there have been attacks, really the largest in a very very long

time. it is not just a terror attack. it is also an attack on freedom of the press. the french president francois hollande, said earlier, this is an attack on democracy and journalists working for freedom of the press. they were gunned down doing their jobs. >> cassandra vinograd from nbc news, i appreciate your time. the attacks on the journalists in paris came with no warning. it leaves not only france but the world on edge because of the bold nature of the attack. congressmen, certainly not the subject we want to talk about. we have to shed light on the fact that this may give us pause as to how vulnerable we are in an open and free society. what is the reaction on capitol hill tonight congressman? what's the conversation amongst your colleagues? >> i think it's worrisome from a

security point of view. this is something that's out of control. here you have these small cells, small groups of people three, four five organizing themselves to create a terrorist attack big or small. maybe not thousands of people but tens of people. that can happen almost anywhere in any part of our society, specially in the west. it is very very worrisome for many people here on capitol hill. obviously, a tragedy for so many families and a tragedy for a great ally of ours. >> what assistance do you think the united states can provide to france in this situation, congressman? >> well, you know, i think a lot of that has to be through the intelligence community. from a couple of the reports i heard, there were other potential attacks like this in france that were disrupted because of the intelligence. i think we need to make sure we are learning from what happened in this scenario and what we can

do to maybe help the french. maybe something slipped through the cracks. why did that happen? using our expertise in the intelligence community and homeland security to help them better understand what happens in this particular instance but also be prepared for things that may happen in the future. >> congressman, when you see this video taip, astape, as horrific as it is it looks organized and planned. what does it tell you? there was a sense of calm among the guys that did this and they knew there would be no resistance. >> what struck me this wasn't a suicide bomber. this wasn't someone with a vest on that was going to walk in and take their own lives. these are people that clearly planned this out in an organized way and got into a car and drove away. so they clearly want to do it again. i think we are moving into some new territory here.

it is not we are going to fly planes into a building or strap a bomb to our chest and pull it in an open area or open market like happens a lot in certain countries. this is someone who is planning an attack. they want to execute it and survive and go off. this is some new territory for us to be in. >> that is a very profound point to be made. could this be a start of a wave of a new terror around the globe. it is going to be attacks like this which clearly are on the minds of every soul on the planet. >> right. i don't think it is just -- it's a horrific act. you look at the european economy, for example. these smaller attacks in retail places of business could ultimately have an economic impact as well as we saw after 9/11 here in the united states. it had a major impact on what was happening economically.

so they are getting a multiple benefit from their vantage point of these small scale attacks. it provides a good deal of terror throughout society. but also has economic impacts as well. >> congressman tim ryan of ohio, good to have you with us tonight. >> the search is on for a terrorist bomber who targeted an naacp office in the state of colorado. the story ahead here on the ed show. stay with us. we're right back. urn i'm looking forward to. for some every dollar is earned with sweat, sacrifice, courage. which is why usaa is honored to help our members with everything from investing for retirement to saving for college. our commitment to current and former military members and their families is without equal. start investing with as little as fifty dollars.

itself was for many, many years the kind of national camden of the christian right with all kinds of big organizations there. they had another attack in '97. a group of anti-government so-called patriots who fire bombed the irs building in colorado springs and actually caused almost $3 million in damage. >> what are the implications that this is a hate crime? >> well, if it indeed was an attack on the naacp, it was the latest in a very long string of bombing attacks on that organization. going back at least to 1965 and probably considerably before. there have been a whole string of these attacks. in 1981 for instance an office was attacked in 1989 an naeps lawyer in savannah was murdered with a letter bomb. there was an attack with a tear gas bomb on the atlanta headquarters of the naacp in the

early '80s and it really goes on and on. it has been quite something. you know if it actually turns out to have been an ideological attack on the naacp, to me that is merely the latest manifestation of the kind of anger that you see in this country, directed at black people in general. there's a lot of fury out there. it has been exacerbated i think by ferguson by the black lives matter movement and so on. >> are we seeing a soft response from lawmakers on these hate groups? should there be more focus put on this? >> well i'm not sure i would say there are softer spots. however, every time there is an incident like the attack in france you know it very much throws the focus on to jihadists and islamic groups and so on. after 9/11 i think that it is fair to say law enforcement to some extent took their eyes off

the domestic terrorist ball. but that has seemed less true in recent years. there have been so many attacks since barack obama came to office that i do not think it has escaped the attention of law enforcement. >> okay. from the southern positive law center. thank you for your time. that's "the ed show." "politics nation" starts right now. >> thanks to you for tuning in. we start with breaking news. french police have identified three suspects in the deadly attack that shocked the world. nbc news reports two men are in their 30s. both french nationals. and that the third is 18 years old. his nationality is not clear. the a.p. reports one of the men was convicted in 2008 for helping to funnel fighters to insurgents in iraq. the paris
