that's actually called "allahu akbar." tapper has since been levying multiple attacks on the fox news channel report in the comments in context that you just listen to. "fox news is lying. i said it can be said and beautiful moments, wedding, birth, too often in times like this, horrific terrorist attacks. and yes, i know they do this all the time. still literally the day after this horrific attack they would launch this smear, it's sick." that's why you have low ratings. tell your audience the truth. meanwhile, chris matthews over at conspiracy tv, msnbc. he asked whether suspect mightv, have anger towards us. watch this. >> why would he have an animosity towards the united states? to have anything with geopolitics in the form it's over union, like the -- who created the horror at the boston marathon. >> way too soon to answer that question. he was earning a living in the united states, earning a living as a truck driver. seems to have been integrated into society. >> sean: really? really? this is a worldwide, global, rad

"allahu akbar" is arabic for "nothing can be done."k state, the mayor of london, the prime minister of france all basically tell these people, tell their citizens you've got to get used to being blown up, run over. if you go to a pop concert, you go to a restaurant, you stroll down the sidewalk, you bicycled on the bike path, a certain number of you aren't going to be coming homeer again. "allahu akbar" is arabic for "nothing can be done." >> tucker: what they are really saying is feeling virtuous about diversity is more important than your safety? >> we know it's rubbish. i don't know where they are having dinner tonight, but let's say coumo and de blasio, whatever restaurant you are in, if you walked in and yelled "allahu akbar," they would dive under the table like everybody else. if you walked in and yelled "jesus christ is my lord and savior" they would say who let that ghastly evangelical christian in the door? have the maitre d' take him out! it's appalling. they understand the distinction, but they are committed to framing this

he said allahu akbar.somebody at fake news, cnn, there is this fear, remember, in the case we had the one case where the neighbors saw these guys working late at night and didn't want to say anything. and i think your point is well taken. let me ask this question. we have talked at length about the misuse and the great sophistication and weaponry of our intelligence community. every phone call i was told by bill benny, 34 year veteran, nsa. every phone call, every email, every text message is literally being monitored by our intelligence. we have the capability of picking it up. can we thread the needle constitutionally, unreasonable certain and seizure. can we thread that needle and monitor what people say without getting into people's private lives because we have seen the dangers with surveillance and unmasking and leaking raw intelligence? general flynn a victim of this himself. >> right. we have the best intelligence community in the world. but because we love our technology, we have a propensity to m

witnesses say saipov was yelling, "allahu akbar" meaning, "god is great" in arabic. (pam) the white house says, the president has been briefed by chief of staff john kelly. he also sent out this tweet in response to the terror attack in new york city. the president tweeted quote - "we must not allow isis to return, or enter, our country after defeating them in the middle east and elsewhere. enough!" (pam) california senator dianne feinstein also took to twitter after the attack.she tweeted - "i'm following the attack in new york closely. my thanks to the brave first responders on the scene. heartbreaking." (steve) today's attack in new york .... follows a chilling trend -- the use of 'vehicles' as deadly weapons by terror groups ... a pair of attacks in spain... over the course of two days in august. first in barcelona ===where one attacker mowed down dozens of people == killing 13. and injuring more than 100 people. two suspects are arrested...but the driver got away. then about eight hours later and seventy miles south of barcelona.. terrorists drive a car through

witnesses say he shouted the phrase "allahu akbar" as he got out of the truck. meaning "god is great" in arabic. police say the method of the attack and the suspect's statement is what caused them to label this a terror attack. (steve) here is a closer look at where the attack happened. the man entered the bike path and drove south, hitting pedestrians and cyclists. he then hit a school bus, injuring at least two adults. the man exited the vehicle brandishing a paintball gun and a pellet gun. he was then shot in the abdomen by a police officer and is now hospitalized.

this is the suspected attacker, sayfullo saipov, a 29—year—old who reportedly shouted "allahu akbar",he left his truck. he was brandishing fake weapons, and was shot by the police and taken into custody. moments earlier, he'd driven at high speed along a riverside bike path, mowing down cyclists and pedestrians. this was an attack on the united states of america and an attack on new york city, an attack on our people, and it was the definition of terrorism, an effort to take away people's hope and spirit and to make them change, and what new yorkers showed already is we will not change. saipov is an uzbek immigrant who came to the united states in 2010. he chose halloween because the streets would be more crowded. he told police he was pleased with the success of the attack. the fbi is seeking evidence about a second uzbekistan man involved in the attack. one of the early clues that investigators found at the scene were hand—written notes in arabic pledging allegiance to the group calling itself islamic state. but there's no evidence yet of a direct link to that group. you got kids in
