joining us now is mike baker and to you, first, thanks for joining us. mike, the question that comes up all the time is, we're still working with numbers and then, there are those that are wounded, the number of dead and they were all throughout the night and three hours ago, you had the french authorities saying we know there are only eight of the attackers and seven of them blew themselves up. how do you get to that number? to narrow it down so quickly? >> to me, it is an investigative effort. so they are counting bodies and getting eyewitness statements and to be fair they don't know for sure yet. and they don't know, this is one of the things they're working on. this is likely they had a structure in place. and safe housing of the attack. >> yes. i guess in fairness, you're right. they're looking for accomplices, still. and we hear isis is losing ground in iraq. and if this is isis, they have dropped down a russian jet and pulled off this attack here in paris, and is it your assessment that maybe. >> they're not contained and not a junior varsity if b

let's bring in covert operations officer mike baker on the phone. mike, what does this situation remind you of? >> well, it reminds me of other attacks in the previous -- that the other previous guests talked about, carried out about al qaeda and aqap and al-nusra. the methodology doesn't vary much when you talk about attacks of this nature. and the islamic extremist groups that we just referred to have favored this type of approach in the past. so it is not a big stretch, although again as the president and other people have mentioned, it is best not to speculate at this state. but it is not ate stretch to -- a stretch to imagine a scenario in which this could be adaq. and possibly islamic state, it could show a new attack but it is not a big stretch of the imagination to imagine the attacks. >> this is a live situation. you have 100 hostages and to figure out what they are being used for. one of the earlier guests mentioned it could be money or escape or political recognition or to die for a cause. and so the group responsible has a lot of bearing

let's bring in mike baker, formers officer with the cia. mike, as you are watching this unfold, i'm curious to get your thoughts on what this federal prosecutor said. they did not get abdeslam in connection with the paris attacks but they got a whole lot of other people. so intelligence-wise, what does that tell you? >> well, you know, i again, i think we have to keep abdeslam in perspective. he wasn't a mastermind. he is not a lex luthor. it would have been nice to pick him up. this could provide additional context into the atrocities in paris. but there is more to the raid. they are not just in bressels. they are in other places, antwerp and in several suburbs. a big effort to wrap up a number of what they would consider to be support cells, individuals who, frankly, some have been monitoring for a period of time and others who came on to the radar screen as a result of what happened in paris. >> you know, is this an era -- area, when you were covert, that would have been closely watched, shared intelligence vieh you ours and theirs. i'm a

wants to have a good job and a great family. >> baker, you are the biggest hawk among us and you say you don't care what you call it. >> i want to get busy. mike calls me baker. it marginal lieses me. it is a microaggression on his part. it is a macro aggression. >> i agree with the guy with the cool british accent. that has a little more intelligence. have you ever noticed every time there is an attack and it happened after paris as well is there is a rush by the progressives to say they are not muslims. they are not muslims. they are violent and terrorists. >> let me ask you, mike -- they think they are the true believers and they are doing it because they believe -- >> that's the truth. >> it just means they are of that group. >> when you are profiling an enemy, there is one enemy that wants to get away after they do a crime or two. and there is another enemy that blows themselves up. to understand your enemy you have to label it. you can label it what you want and when you are in close circle in a cave trying to figure out how to destroy them, they are suicidal maniacs who want to kill as many people as possible and kill themselves. that's

mike baker, thank you as always for joining us, appreciate it, sir.ext case, there is clear-- this is an understatement, a lot of money in gaming and i mean a lot of money. jo ling kent has the number in case you missed it. >> two gaming giants, activision blizzard, coming together for 5.9, and owning candy crush will give activision a new edge in mobile gaming. e. coli cases reportedly caused by chipotle in seattle and portland are expect today rise. washington department of health say 17 people who ate the chipotle tested positive for e. coli, and the number is expected to double next week. dash cam video shows this meteor in thailand. the bangkok people were seeing this and imagine if you were driving and driving on the road. >> why was he videotaping it. jo: dash cam video, on all the time. stuart: now to the present, you do not have to check the box saying you're a criminal if you want a job with the federal government. the judge, that will be napitano, will be next.

. >> joining us now, former nypd detective bo dietl, former cia director mike baker, and radio host and gina loudon. you do not have the right to preach hate or make terroristic threats or plot and scheme against your fellow americans. if a mosque is doing that, that would be a violation of law. that's not as far-fetched as, quote, liberals seem to think it is. >> you're exactly right, sean. i think it's frank gaffney's work that says that 80% of the mosques that exist in america are advocating or promoting violence. this is a problem. how can we turn a blind eye to that fact? >> i don't know. mike? >> the president all the time, come on in, syrian refugees, even though they infiltrated france. >> everything is surreal. you can't describe it. when someone travels to raqqah for training and then you don't have the ability to pull their passports because you're no longer a citizen, i look at this from an operational standpoint. i'm more concerned with the ability to monitor what is going on to identify issues to problems to get leads that we need. and then also there is one thing here we

. >> dial in mike baker former cia operative as we talk about what's going on. ke, there's a story on the cover of the new york daily news today as we think a little bit about the terrorists, in paris, and if there are bad guys here in this country, and the head line is, over 2,000 suspects on terror watch lists have legally bought firearms in the united states. how is it possible you can be on a terror watch list and buy a gun? >> yeah, i know. probably a lot of people asking that question right now. part of it, the assistant deputy director for the bure yo, jim kallstrom that was just on with you he alluded to it in terms of talking about the data bases. data bases have been a problem for a long time. we know from a lot of complaints from the aclu and others that the terrorist watch list have, in their words, been overreaching. so you have a lot of people on the watch list that don't necessarily belong there. ted kennedy being one of the more famous examples of this. or as an example, if your roommate's uncle, cousin, is suspected of having terrorist ties you m

martha: mike baker, former covert operations officer. welcome. good to have you here. >> thank you.tha: the suggestion is, that we are less safe than we used to be and before you answer that, f the cia last night on o'reilly. listen to this. >> we didn't need to make those changes that followed the snowden disputes and they have made it a lot harder for us to figure out what our opponents are doing. in the meantime, commercial encryption has come along with playstations and the like which make it easier for them on the other side to hide things from us. martha: yeah. a couple of things there. number one, is he right about us being less safe because of edward snowden? >> well, yes. you can sense the frustration both with director woolsey and director brennan. the truth is, look the more the enemy knows, whether the enemy is isis or al qaeda, whoever it may be the more they know about our methodologies, the way that we do things, our capabilities, the better it is for them. i don't know how anybody else would argue that. the more information you put out there such as the snowden leaks

mike baker is the president of a global intelligence and security firm. he's also a former cia covert operations officer. mike, thanks so much for joining us. >> sure, thank you. >> we tend to think of them in syria and iraq. they have the state they've supposedly been developing and holding that territory. the reality, they've been expanding their presence and they've been trying to expand their influence into a variety of locations, pakistan, afghanistan. yemen, egypt. and so it's for them, that's what this is about. this is not about them claiming some territory and then putting a fence around it and say, ah, we're good now. everybody, just carry on here. that's not the point of this exercise. so world domination, and people roll their eyes when they hear that, but that's what they believe in. >> okay. >> so reaching out is not -- this is not a surprise. >> right. so i hear you say world domination and they're spreading all over the globe. so there's no secret u.s. officials are wary of an attack of this nature. and albeit, terrible circumstances, what

mike baker, former cia operative.d day or bad day for private security and security, alex? >> i sympathy it's a good day for privacy. from a security standpoint. with this amount of data, it hasn't been shown effective in stopping any attacks. the raw amount of data, this is not -- >> mike, do you agree? >> well, look, maybe my colleague here has access to compartmentalized information and can speak to whether this was actually useful or not. i don't. i'm not in the industry anymore. i can't say in specific terms. the agency doesn't talk and the nsa doesn't talking about methods. i will say from an operational perspective is that you want as many tools in your kit bag as possible. this is a happy day if you're in the u.s. who is in contact with somebody overseas who is either a terrorist supporter or sympathizer or terrorist suspect. but this became a very emotive argument, relatively uninformed argument after the snowden leaks. it was a political move about an operational issue. that's where i have a problem with it.
