trying to stop this kind of terrorism here at home? absolutely. so all the fbi agents in that area of southern california, if they can stop what they re doing, they will stop what they re doing and be working on this case for the very foreseeable future, because they have to figure out not only what happened here, but if there was inspiration from a terrorist organization, then what was that inspiration only or direction? if there was direction from a terrorist organization, then who else might they be directing? the idea now is, yes, we have to investigate this particular case and follow out all the leads and fill in the pieces of the puzzle, but we also have to figure out if there s groups that are directing others to do the exact same thing that happened this week in san bernardino. jon: fox news has confirmed now that the wife pledged allegiance to al-baghdadi, the leader of isis. now, hasn t isis basically said we want you to go out and commit mayhem any way you can? that doesn
jon: while federal officials have so far been reluctant to categorize the shooting in san bernardino, some media outlets not holding back whatsoever. the newsstand here in new york city, for example, had the post blaming islamic terror. and another pointing a finger at republicans and the nra. judith miller joining us now and lynn sweet, washington bureau chief for the chicago sun-times. little late for the morning headlines, lynn, but fox be has confirmed fox has confirmed that the wife in this massacre had been in touch with and had pledged allegiance to the leader of isis. doesn t that make this islamic terrorism? well, let me cite fox news analyst frances townsend who was on a little less than two hours ago who said that for government officials as opposed to journalists and just other
out now, her pledging allegiance to isis. we re big, you know, this is a big story, and the ability to have two storylines, in a sense, i think are there. politically, yes, that is true that the democrats in congress have continued to have a drum beat for more gun curbs, and every time there s a horrific massacre, it does resurrect a cry from the white house down for more measures. jon: couple of more questions for each of you, but the computer is about to take us to a break. we ll give you a minute to well, we ll be back in just a minute with more thoughts on this. sure, tv has evolved over the years.
reporter: and, jenna, we excuse me, we really are seeing this pattern emerging, this disturbing pattern that really shows that this is connected to terrorism in some capacity. we know that the killers watched isis propaganda videos online. we also know that they had contact with people who inside the united states and outside were being investigated by the fbi for terrorism. and now not only is the wife thought to have been the trainer for the husband, but she may have had the bomb-making knowledge. remember all those pipe bombs that were made. and now there is this report by the associated press that the wife, tashfeen malik, pledged her allegiance to isis on facebook using an alias and then tried to delete that post. there are also reports that the couple tried to cover their tracks by smashing cell phones and trying to rid hard drives, burn the hard drives and using burner phones that are much harder to track. we do know the fbi has
was followed up on appropriately in this tragic massacre. jon: all right. we re going to have to leave it there. lynn sweet, judy miller, thank you. jenna: this is an important part of the story, the weapons, obviously, being used in the terror attack that we now believe happened in san bernardino. law enforcement won t go on the record and say it at this point, but here we have the new reporting at fox news that there s the connection, direct connection to isis especially with the female suspect in this. so we re going to move ahead using that and what we know. the guns that were modified are very key to all of this, and it seems that some of the information we had on earlier in the show isn t correct, and we want to make sure that we talk about the modification of those guns in the correct way, so we re going to be talking about that next hour on happening now. in addition, we want to get to some other news as well. french president hollande is visiting the french aircraft carrier
