Sharp declines across the board. Investors are on edge for many reasons this morning including this weeks Federal Reserve meeting in fears that britain will vote to leave the euro zone.

Here with me this morning fox business Dagen Mcdowell, recon capital kevin kelly is here and former navy sale dave. Good to have you this morning. Back to our stop story this morning, 29yearold omar mateen opened fire in a florida nightclub silling at least 50 people and injuring 53 others in what is the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the United States. Jeff flock is live for news orlando this morning. Hes on the ground there with the very latest, jeff, good morning to you. Jeff on the edge of dawn here in orlando. I stand in the middle of orange avenue, back behind me pulse nightclub, quite a scene here. Quite a scene. Death toll that you mentioned, we are told could rise today because of the serious injuries of those 53 that have been injured. Many of the people loved ones injured or killed in this dont know whether theyre loved ones are injured or killed, which way thats gone. They expect a briefing in about two hours time. Lets give you the latest, sandra on what we know the investigation to this point specifically focusing on omar mateen, the man who we have widely reported pledged allegiance to isis in a 911 call during the attack. Isis now claiming responsibility for the attack and calling mateen a soldier of the caliphate that is a quote, also looking into his exwife who says that he actually was mentally ill more than anything else, she thinks was hate crime act of terror, hate crime born out of homophobia, perhaps its all of the above. I dont suppose it matters much to the victims and the families of the victims, so many stories inside of survival. People crawling under dead bodies to try and pretend that they were dead to survive and texts back and forth from the victims to their loved ones. One woman among other shared with us. Called momma now, im telling im in the bam. Hes coming, im going to die. I asked him was he hurt and he said yes, are some of the people hurt and he said yes. And i said what bathroom are you in, he said the womens bathroom and then he said hurry, hes in the bathroom with us. Hes a terror. Jeff that mother did not know whether her son survived or not. In two hours of that we expect to hear from the fbi. We will ask many questions that im sure youll ask throughout the morning as well, background of mr. Mateen, did he travel overseas, perhaps, who did he have contact with. We dont know how much of that has been learned yet, we do know that the fbi finished up his apartment two hours away, they have taken all of the information and computers and the rest that they need from there but where that leads them at this point, we dont know, sandra. Sandra horrific stories coming from brutal attack, jeff flock, thank you. Joining me now former u. S. Embassador to the United Nations john bolton is here this morning. You say, embassador, theres two main conclusions that we can draw from this attack. Well, i think its important to dispense with the idea that theres such a thing as a lonewolf terrorist that people act completely independent. Isis and other groups have taken advantage of social media, other communication to draw recruits to their side, this is not a communist espionage apparatus and things like that. Isis is taking recruitment to a whole new level and i think we have to understand that because the very randomness of some of these terrorist attacks magnifies the effect. Number two, you cannot understand what motivates somebody like omar mateen without understanding the ideology behind it. Thats why its not a case of magic words to say this man is a radical islamic terrorist, its a reflection of the ideology that motivates him and thousands of others and their ties internationally should emphasize to us that the feeding of this ideology, protecting american civilians here at home requires taking action overseas against isis in iraq and syria against isis in north africa, wherever it may be. All of this seems to have completely escaped the administration and thats why again and again and again we see these attacks. Unless we see the whole picture, we cannot arrive at strategy. Sandra we watch it had president speak yesterday afternoon, after that initial briefing from his Security Team, he called this an act of terror, but he didnt tie it to the ideology. But its really not sufficient. This is the white house word operation. They released a picture of him being briefed by whom, by james comey, fbi director. This is a Law Enforcement matter, this is not a war against terrorism. War or criminal Law Enforcement. We tried criminal Law Enforcement against terrorism in the 1990s and it brought us 9 11. The Obama Administration has returned to the criminal Law Enforcement. The terrorist threat against the United States today is higher than it was before 9 11. This paradigm has failed and failed to understand the real world we are dealing with and simply expose americans, europeans and others around the world. Sandra its going to be the conversation this morning and whether or not not and this is clearly part of the investigation whether this man was acting out of inspiration from isis or direct bid the terror group. I dont know that it matters. You have 50 people dead and 53 injured. This is a horrific terrorist act and it shows that isis, caliphate inspires people to go out and kill folks, whether theyre given specific direction is kind of irrelevant. I can tell you from my perspective, we have a lot of guys overseas, u. S. Servicemen and women who are eager to take on this fight. Sandra if the president was to come out today and label this act of war, that drastically changes our ability to respond to this . Well, absolutely, its two entire different ways of looking at it and deal with terrorists that are american citizens operating here at home. When you take up arms in the United States, youre committing treason and the kind of war is unconventional. It doesnt look like world war ii, thats been the case for the last three decades. I think we need to understand that. I actually think the American People are way out of ahead of many leaders in washington in this. They understand the fundamental job of the government is to protect us from the foreign threats. You can see that a couple of years ago when isis began beheading americans in the middle east. I think political leaders who want to succeed this november should take the sad, sad lesson of this tragedy in orlando and follow the lead of the people this time to do more to protect us by defending abroad against the threats before they come here. Dagen it wouldnt be the first thing you would do if the commander in chief asked you, what is the first thing i should do . You have to split it domestically and internationally. Domestically i think you have to to put this in counterespionage footage and treat this as enemy combatedness. We have to go back to rallying a Broad International coalition to understand what we are doing is fighting an ideology here. We are not fighting random lonewolf acts. What we are trying to do is systemic efforts by the terrorist to undermine our civilization, but you say thats so hard towns, thats far from our reality. Its not so far from reality today. The middle east has been trying to move into europe for about a thousand years and they are doing pretty well in the past several years. That threat in europe is going to come to the United States, tragically orlando is the beginning of it. So internationally you have to look at this, again, as a war campaign. You have to rally allies particularly in the middle east and we have allies in the middle east beyond israel. King abdul of jordan has called it struggle of islam. Hes the muslim king of a muslim country, decentant. The keeper of the holy city. If he understands this is civil war, for god sake, why isnt this good enough for us . Sandra still to come at least 50 people we know now are dead in this massacre. 53 more injured. It was the worst mass shooting in u. S. History. We will continue our coverage of horrific attack as we begin to put a face of some of the 21 victims identified so far. Back in a minute. Stay with us. This just got interesting.

We will bring you any updates as soon as we receive them. President obama ordering american flags in washington, d. C.

A man identified by authorities james was arrested in california with guns and explosives yesterday as he headed to the los angeles gay pride parade. Santa monica police initially tweet that had he wanted to, quote, harm the parade but later said that they had no word on his intentions. West hollywood officials considered canceling the parade but went ahead under heightened security. Theres no link between the man arrested in los angeles and the orlando shooting. Sandra. Sandra yeah, the police found three Assault Rifles, high capacity magazines and ammunition and bucket can chemicals capable of forming and provide explosives device. Dagen and to commend the Los Angeles Police department uncovering the fact that he had weapons on. Go back to San Bernardino, these people put together a cash and put together ammunitions. If you see something, you to Say Something. Mcfarland is coming up in a little bit, not being fearful, not being politically correct. If you see something, Say Something. I think to the see something, Say Something stuff, whats frustrateing about that is when you see what . When you talk about embassador, the lonewolf attacks, theres a fire of fear of more attacks, we know that we have folks here and theres investigations on all 50 states, so we have to start attacking the ideolo. I think keeping an eye and look for that is critical. Sandra up next president obama expressing outrage following the orlando massacre. We must spare no effort to determine what, if any, inspiration or association this killer may have had with terrorist groups. Sandra but the president still refuse to go refer to the terrorist as extremist, my next guest has warned that isis will grow more powerful under the Current Administration.

Weve reached no definitive judgment on the precise motivations of the killer. The fbi is appropriately investigating this as an act of terrorism. And ive directed that we must spare no effort to determine what, if any, inspiration or association this killer may have had with terrorist groups. Sandra isis claims responsibility for this attacks and my next guest warn that terrorist group will grow more powerful. Good morning, your thoughts on all of this this morning . President obamas statements sure doesnt fill me with confidence that he has a handle on this. The other thing, sandra, everybody goes in the predictable corners, right . President obama says is because theres too many guns, its a gun control issue. Other people on the right will say its because of Political Correctness. I dont think either group has it right bauds they dont go far enough. Why do somebody with the mental history with this profile which is a terrorist profile, why does he have hands on weapons . On the other hand, why did somebody not call him out . Why did somebody go to authorities, we are suspicious of this guy. Hes had history of statements and the fbi looked into him an dismissed him. Time and time again we see the same matter. Sandra why was on the radar . There was two investigations in two separate years but still this guy was able to commit this horrific attack. I mean, what happened, how did he fall through the cracks there . Well, i think here is the problem, we have decided we are going to treat all americans alike, we are going to treat some grandmother on the way to orlando to go to disney world, give her the same level of scrutiny as we somebody who fits a terrorist profile like this guy does, we have taken resources and stretched over population because we are so politically correct, what has happened . We have had too many people who have slipped through the cracks, what we need to do instead is forget about the 95 of the people, have a quick look at them, realize they dont present a threat and focus with laser alabama inintensity of those who might fit a profile. Its not an ethic profile, its a terrorist profile. Terrific. Sandra he thinks youre terrific as well. These numbers i call daunting earlier. Isis growing on president obamas watch from 700 mighters to 20,000, 21,000 to 31,000 fighters. Those are shocking. The next step, leap is going to be interactive Online University where isis has reached deep into beyond National Boundaries and using the internet, theyve reach intoed the center of our population to recruit torques inspire and sort of tell them what to do. The next step is going to be interactive university. For example, theres an isis member that has been recruited. He goes online and course from bomb making in yemen who has no ability to get in the United States himself but he has ideology and capability to get into the United States through the internet. I look at this and say, we need a whole government approach. We need ideological warfare, economic warfare, we need social med aware fair. We are the people who invented snapchat, instagram, facebook, twitter. You have to tell me that a bunch of guys in the desert of yemen are outsmarting us on the social media aspect. We have been losing this war. We are losing it big time. Its been 15 years and time for a new plan. I think thats exactly right. We have u. S. Military servicemen and women who are ready to exec cute that plan. It inspires people, it inspires more followers to come to join across the world to commit attacks in countries like they are in america or western europe and we to destroy them. Sandra kt, we are getting record that the fbi is going to hold a conference at 7 00 oclock this morning, half an hour from now. We are waiting on any of the latest developments because we have yet to have all of the victims in identified. Isnt the only way to address this, though, and to start doing what you were talking about is addressing the Foreign Policy of the American Government because look what happened, there was an inflation point where we drew red line in syria, if you use chemical weapons, thats it, we are going to take you out and then what happened, we did nothing. Doesnt Foreign Policy have to lead . Who can lead . Only the United States can lead. This is a global threat. What we have seen in europe, what we have seen in the middle east and what we have seen now in north america, its a global threat, the only country and leader of capable of pulling everybody together is the president of the United States. Cold war against communism. This is against radical islamism and it needs not just a hold of the u. S. Government, we need to pull together allies, we need to go across National Borders to deal with this because the fbi has said, 50 states, all countries, all continents. This is a global threat against western civilization and that may mean that we have to hold our noses and deal with countries that we might not otherwise like enemies like radical islam.

Tributes pouring in from around the world this morning including the great white way, tonys host addressed the shootings at the start of the show, lets get a quick check on the markets this morning as we continue to see the breaking news unfold, asian markets selling off over night. Pretty steep losses. Sharp declines across the board, china, japan, hong kong and south korea. Investors on edge for a lot of reasons this morning including this weeks Federal Reserve meeting and fear british leaving euro zone. Here in the u. S. We are looking at a lower open as well with stocks Index Futures trending lower. Dow 68 points, loss about four tenths of one percent and loss led by nasdaq futures, one half of one percent. Back to the orlando terror attacks, 29yearold omar mateen open fire in a florida nightclub killing at least 50 people and injuring 50 others. Leland is with the very latest. Leland. In the past hour or so we have heard from isis via their Radio Station which they call mateen a soldier of the caliphate in america. Thats what we are learning about the terrorist. Many of them are still inside the pulse nightclub. They are behind me. They have chill it had ac down as far as it can go to try and preserve this crime scene because it is just so large. The hundreds of fbi agents, atf agents and Law Enforcement that have been going through it just need that amount of time to try and process. 21 victims identified. 29 victims still waiting to be identified. 29 families wait to go get that just awful phone call. For the first time we are getting a look at the side of the pulse nightclub and you can see there where the swat team through the walls to try and rescue those 30 hostages who had been held for three hours. Bullets flying, flying and the people that were in the floor, you know, when body receive shots, thats how the last thing that i saw before i went to the restroom. I went to the restroom and i prayed for my life until the police came and saved us. To take you how the attack began, mateen showed up at 2 00 oclock ready for battle and highpowered handgun. He engaged in Orlando Police officer who was there off duty working security, they got into a shootout of some type, mateen went inside the club and began this 3hour rampage that involved a number of 911 calls in which he pledged allegiance to isis. The big question was mateen directed by isis or inspired by it. This is an act of terrorism. You just cant imagine this happening in any community, you cant imagining that happening in your state, governor of your state and you cant imagine it happening in your country. Now, we know isis has called for attacks during the month of ramadan here in florida and promised its followers extra rewards in heaven, as provers as that is, if they carry an attack during the holy month. Whats unclear is whether mateen saw any of that propaganda. He was radicalized some where 20152016. The question for the fbi is to figure out exactly how that happened. Sandra leland, thank you. We continue to go live with him following terrorist attacks in orlando. Presumptive nominee donald trump took twitter on ban of muslim immigrant tweeting this, what has happened in orlando is just the beginning, our leadership is weall and ineffective. I called it and asked for the ban, must be tough. Joining us florida congressman and fox news contributor. Ood mo. What are your thoughts this morning, colonel . Well, first and foremost my condolences to the Family Members an those who are going to be wounded and scared for life. This is without a doubt islamist jihadist attack and so many indicators and warning sign that is were out there that once again we refused to acknowledge for whatever reason. Sandra what do you make of the president s response, we are waiting for an fbi News Conference, we understand the president will get a briefing from the Security Team this morning as well. But he did make a statement yesterday afternoon, he did label the terror attack but he did not who he did not label this extremist or didnt put a name to the enemy, your thoughts on that . Well, its important, we are not going to be successful against islamist jihadist if we refuse to dismiss it and once again make it an issue of gun control. If you go back to 9 11, they used box cutters. If you think about the jihadist in oklahoma when he used a knife to behead a woman and was beheading another one, its not about the weapon that they use, its about the ideology that continues to inspire them to conduct attacks not only against us here in america but all across the world. Sandra what do you make of this is looking like its going to become a central theme of this election now, National Security, Foreign Policy, what do you make of the back and forth that we have seen coming from the presumptive gop nominee donald trump and Hillary Clinton . Donald trump going back and reiterating his call to ban muslim immigrant. We have to look at visa policies and procedures, when you look at nations on a terrorist watch list, we should not be accepting individuals from that country. We need to look at how we are going to deny the enemy, isis an all these other jihadist groups sanctuaries, how do we attack their propaganda and ideology. The fact that isis has a Radio Station, we should not allow them to broadcast. Thats another means of Information Warfare and technology that we should be leveraging, we should be cutting up funding. I think when we look at what we need to protect the homeland and protect our sovereignty as a nation and as lisa said, we have to be eager to get in this fight. Youre referring to leith. You talked about the indicators that they had. What could fbi or Law Enforcement do in order to stop this . Well, first and foremost we have groups like the council for american of islamic relations that put pressure on the fbi and department of defense to change jihadist and islamic training manuals and programs. We need to stop allowing groups to have influence on National Security and policies. Thats the first and foremost thing. We have to start understand this is not just Law Enforcement endeavor that truly this battleground has no borders and boundaries. Theyre right here. We need to have better coordination. When you look at what we should be doing in places like iran, i mean, iraq or syria or afghanistan, we have to identify these groups and as i said, deny them sanctuary, we have to start cutting off their flow of man material and resource support. We are not doing that. We allow them to exist. This caliphate should have been taken down long before it was ever able to be established and National Security is number one prior fbi for the federal government. It cant be about campaign promises. Sandra colonel, we have to leave it there, as we continue to watch the news this morning and horrific scene that we continue to show live footage of, everybody wonders how do we keep ourselves and our families safe in this country, because we see it happen in orlando and we think it can happen anywhere. What is going to be key to that . Well, i think very important is that we have to start looking at thesis lammic centers, the mosques that are allowing this vile and vicious rhetoric and we have to start shutting them down. Just north of orlando in sanford , florida, had an iman come in and talked about home sex wales should be killed. That should not be happening in the United States of america. Mateen was meeting with and had relations with an americanborn suicide bomber that was killed in syria. That should not be happening. Sandra all right, Lieutenant Colonel alan west, good to have you sir. My pleasure. Sandra the world mourns victim of the deadliest attacks since 9 11 that left 50 people dead and 53 injured. We will have pope francis reaction next. He changed and put another ammunition and changed for another ammunition and i could just smell the ammo in the air, this is not fireworks, we need to leave in new york state, we believe tomorrow starts today. All across the state, the economy is growing, with creative new business incentives, and the lowest taxes in decades, attracting the talent and companies of tomorrow. Like in buffalo, where the largest solar gigafactory in the western hemisphere will soon energize the world. And in syracuse, where imagination is in production. Let us help grow your companys tomorrow today at business. Ny. Gov sandra newspapers across the country are devoting front page on terrorist attacks in orlando, florida. Dagen thats right, sandra from the front page of wall street journal, emotional journals and of course, the new york post, isis versus the u. S. Lets look at the front page of orlandos daily, as you can see in bold letters, our community will heal. That statement coming as the newspaper says Authority Continue to investigate and identify victims from the pulse nightclub terror attack. Pope francis is condemning the orlando terror attack, the vatican saying the pope expressed, quote, deepest feelings of horror over the shooting. The pope denouncing senseless hatred, the pope also offering prayer and come page to those affected by the attacks, the vatican also said that pope francis joins the victims families in prayer. Stars at the 70th tony awards last night paying tribute to the victims of the orlando massacre. The creator and star of hamilton the musical miranda gave a powerful and emotional speech. When senseless acts of tragedy remind us that nothing here is promised, not one day, the show has proved that history remembers and we lived through times when hate and fear seem stronger, remembrance that hope and last longer. Dagen earlier host honored victims saying hate will never win and sandra, i watched it, it was tricky because it was a celebration and it was an Award Ceremony and so they try today find the balance of excitement and celebration but also shock and horror and sympathy and empathy with the victims in orlando. Sandra did they find the balance . There was discussion of whether they should canceling it. Dagen that was he read that, it was the first award that he accepted and really kind of set the tone for the evening and i think if you were going to have an Award Ceremony, they did a good job at finding that balance. Sandra chilling tribute, thank you, dagen. Still to come cities across the nation on high alert following the worst mass shooting in American History. Our next guest on deck on how americans can protect themselves from another act of terror. We will be right back. There are two billion people who dont have access to basic banking, but that is changing. At temenos, with the microsoft cloud, we can enable a banker to travel to the most remote locations with nothing but a phone and a tablet. Everywhere where theres a phone, you have a bank. Now a person is able to start a business, and employ somebody for the first time. The microsoft cloud helped us to bring banking to ten Million People in just two years. Its transforming our world. The person i was with was shot in the back. I took my bandena off and tied it up on the bullet hole in the back. It was so, so my hands were just covered and i didnt know what to do but just stand there and tell him to be strong. Sandra in the wake of the terror attack in orlando major cities across the nation are stepping up Police Presence and making sure their citizens feel safe. We are vigilant and have deployed our response command and Strategic Response groups so youll see a lot of additional Police Presence on the streets of the city. Sandra how big cities should respond we are joined by the man who lead the police in boston bombing. Good morning. Good morning, sandra. Sandra we are learning from Law Enforcement this morning that the shooter omar mateen pledges allegiance to leader of isis, and Boston Marathon bombers during rampage, how is the city of boston reacting to all of this this morning . My former colleagues are working really hard to make sure that the city is safe. We spent a day yesterday, i joined them in my capacity add fenway park at a dhs training that went through a drill. But that training was all too real after what we saw occur in the hours before that kicked off on sunday morning. Sandra what do the drills look like because we are in the great city of new york this morning and we wonder what actions will police implement if they should get another phone call like the one they received this particular evening down in florida . What is the protocol . What are we doing to keep people safe in this country right now . Well, we will respond in exactly the same way you saw the Orlando Police, the courage that was exhibited by those officers that engaged with the suspect, the fact that he attacked an officer who was working security at the front door, i mean, thats an extremely troubling component. But here you see a dedicated person attacking going right through the police and getting in and creating the amount of damage that he created yesterday. So we we are doing the best that we can in our country to defend against what has turned into a war thats targeted our civilian populations. The answer to this is really to continue those efforts, to continue to be vigilant in efforts to deal with the individuals involved. Sandra could you expand on what that is exactly . It sounds like the see something, Say Something, we can all help each other out. What are you supposed to do because Political Correctness has got nn the way of see something, Say Something . Political correctness is the problem here. My final thought on that is we need to go to the core of where this is occurring. The fact that isis has a Radio Station is incomprehensible to me. The fact that theyre allow today insight the passions of these individuals in the United States and were not taking an aggressive stance on that and doing something at the core of where this ideology comes from is a problem. This is an attack on civilian populations, we need to be more proactive. We can spend a lot of time trying to secure the homeland and we do that and theres enormous amount of money occurring in the United States. The solution for this if we are going to continue our way of life is to identify exactly what the problem is here and pursue it aggressively where it comes from, which is in iraq and syria right now. Sandra former navy seal and wants to ask you a question. Good morning, sir, now that we know omar mateen was inspired by the brothers in boston, what does that say of how much a successful attack like this inspire more attacks . Thats the problem, thank you for your service. I have a lot of friends who have been in the seals. Thank you, thanks for yours. The problem here is that there is an inspirational component to this and the strategy is gaining traction and so if what weve been doing and i mean securing the homeland, spending billions of dollars and making sure that our systems are in place and equipping polices and military here in the United States, if all of that has been done and we are still not getting traction, then we need to change our policies and i think that its time now we try really hard to be political correct and to and to put this in those terms and to try to to restraint in our response. Sandra boston obviously taking precautions and preparations are in place. Ed davis, thank you for joining us. Thank you, sandra. Sandra outrage over missed warning signs, orlando shooter pledged allig ands under isis and was under investigation by the fbi twice. What the u. S. Is doing to prevent another deadly attack like this next. In what is the deadliest attack on american soil since 9 11. 21 victims have been identified so far. His whole pant leg was red and it was so it was just my hands were just covered, and i didnt know what to do other than stand there and tell them to be strong. My friends, my family roxie, her kids, everybody that we know were in that club, like, on a daytoday basis we talked to them. And this happened like that. I cant even, like, process.

Good to have you back to the story the orlando terror attack, 29yearold omar manteen opening fire in a nightclub killing 50 people and injuring 50 others, jeff flock is in orlando with the very latest on the ground there. Jeff. Sandra, the sun now up here in orlando as perhaps you can see. We remain in the middle of orange avenue, down there behind me. Several blocks is the pulse nightclub where this all unfolded. Dominates this morning, we believe we may get a believing as early as half an hour from now, 7 30 eastern. Orlando police say they will brief. Its unclear whether the fbi will be part of that, and of course the main questions are for the fbi this morning. Questions like did omar manteen make any concrete connection with isis before this attack . The fbi has not even confirmed the 911 call in which suspect believed that he pledged allegiance to isis. Question is whether or not isis directed him in some way whether they had any contact. Did he travel to the mideast in advance of this by any chance . Did he get any help from anyone here either in orlando or elsewhere in florida or in the u. S. Before this took place . And why did he target . He lived two hours away. Why did he target the pulse nightclub here in orlando . All of those questions. Question whether this is terror or hate crime, or the act of a deranged man. It may be that its all three. Ohm march manteens exwife telling reporters that she believes he was mentally unstable. A few months after we were married i saw his instability and bipolar, and he would get mad out of nowhere. Thats when i started worrying about my safety and then a few months he started abusing me. Sandra, well keep you abreast and make that available. Thank you we are waiting for some authorities there, press conference some of sort on this orlando terror attack. We want to bring in former nebraska senator and 9 11 Commission Member bob kerry this morning. You cant help, senator, but ask are we doing enough to protect ourselves and the citizens of this country . Apparently not. I actually dont know all the details. I dont understand why this guy was running security that the club. And investigated by the fbi we learned on two separate occasions bake in 2013 and 2014. Right. But nothing ever came of it. Well, it should have. At some point you you know, you have to take a precautionary action to prevent Something Like this bad from happening. And, senator and convenience from people from time to time. But clearly, you know, Second Generation muslim, his fathers from afghanistan. And had been identified as a security risk. Should not have been given the responsibility to run security at this club. We know the president was going to be briefed by his Security Team on all the latest on this matter. He spoke yesterday, and immediately you heard criticism of his lack of naming the enemy. Using the words radical islamic terrorists. He didnt say that, but he did call it a terrorist attack. The shooter certainly did. I dont know what the president is doing, but the shooter typhoid as a terrorist attack. One off operations all the time. They silently celebrate the results of the attack. And as i said he called in and said it was an isis attack. So it is in my view radical islamic terrorism coming to the United States one more time. Senator, isnt it going to take American Leadership to be at the forefront to tackle this ideology . Because if we look back to paris, president barack obama was the only leader of the free world that wasnt there walking in unison to take on and make a stance there, we had Angela Merkel there and you mean after the Charlie Hebdo attack . Yeah. Exactly. So isnt it it going to take American Leadership to stop this . Because we can see nothing else is working. Well, youve got to say if youre on the receiving end of one of the drones right now, you think the United States has taken pretty good leadership. On the case of florida, its something entirely different. Just routine security. You should not have a guy thats under suspicion. In charge as security of the club with his background. You cant do it. And were going to get in trouble. What do you make of the immediate discussion of gun control . Hillary clinton getting up that response of the attack. Well, its the usual response. The m16 is pretty well controlled now. I dont know the details, again, i wouldnt mind tying it up. I know a lot of guys that are responsible or shoot with the ar15. Again, i dont think you should take away the ar15 from them as a consequence of doing a lousy job on leads. He shouldnt have security responsibility at this club, and he did. And it was a consequence we had this terrible tragedy. And youve been talking to us about at this morning about the guys that are at the ready to go goodnightphyte this fight. Absolutely and theyre held back by the forward troops. Theyre eager to take on this enemy. Respected combat leader in vietnam, one of the things we talk about with leadership and ive heard on the battlefield in iraq, youve got to have a brutally honesty assessment of yourself, your team, and certainly the enemy and the threat. The idea to associate these kinds of attacks from the radical islamic ideology behind them that weve seen coming is almost the Democratic Party from this point. Well, i dont disagree with you. Its you have to identify who the enemy is, and you have to consistently go after the enemy whether its a broader at home. They certainly rejoiced in this kind of domestic attack p as i said, i think have you really to have a margin of error strategy and certainly have to identify who the enemy is and do it in a relentless fashion. Theres plenty of them out there. We typically know who they are and where they are, and you just have to go after them. So going through the facts that we do know at this moment, senator, 50 dead, 53 injured in this attack. Were told there are still bodies in the nightclub. The fbi investigation continues. Were waiting on a press conference this morning. The suspect was on the fbi radar, looked at atwice by the fbi. The suspects parents as you identified from afghanistan, he was born in new york city. Based on everything that we know, can we expect that this is the way were going to see isis play out their they have enough evidence to take him out. And not let it be a security guard. By the way, one thing thats missing in this moment when people are criticizing the police, it sounds like the police on site did a really great job of keeping the casualty rate as low as it was. They charged, they set off explosives, they reduced the casualties, they did a terrific job of keeping the casualty rate as low as it was. Senator, we talked about. Sandra brought up the issue if you see something, Say Something, well, of the case of this terrorist, people thought, people who worked with him. And one instance people who worked with him said he was unstable, that he was angry, that he used slurs talking about any group. But then he turned around and complained about being harassed because he was a muslim so, again, it gets to the point of how vigilant are we going to be to identify these threats . Yeah. I think this guy was pretty low hanging fruit. I think he should have been identified. He should not have been given that kind of security responsibility. What youre talking about is something entirely different where you have to run them to the ground and say this is an unfriendly place to live. If youre part of radical islam, if youve identified some reasons for killing americans, this is going to be a very unfriendly place for you to live. Does this become the central theme of the election . Probably not. It will we all have a little bit of ad when it comes to political debate. So probably not. It certainly could be if you get multiple attacks like this between now and the 8th of november. Certainly a central concern of americans you see an instant like this, it could happen in your neighborhood. Again, after seeing something, saying something, it didnt do any good. It didnt matter. It didnt have any impact on the increased security. Quite the opposite. All right, senator kerry, thank you for being here this morning. My pleasure. All right.

Heres what we know so far. 29yearold omar manteen had two guns on him, ar15 Assault Rifle and a handgun in the packed gay nightclub in orlando killing at least 50 people are dead. 39 were killed on the premises with 11 more dying later at hospitals. Manteen legally purchased the weapons within the past week. Law enforcement official saying manteen pledged allegiance to isis in a 911 call before the massacre. His exwife says he was mentally unstable, mentally ill. Were starting to learn some of the names of the people who died in that orlando terror attack. Authorities releasing 21 victims names. At least 50 People Killed. One of them is being remembered as a happy Pharmacy Technician from massachusetts. The cousin of another victim telling the Associated Press quote you never think thats going to be the last time you speak to him. Another victim reportedly worked on the harry potter ride at universal studios. Dozens holding i vigil across the country and millions of dollars being raised by a local lgbt group. Police in Southern California arresting a man yesterday who had weapons, and explosive making materials in his car and said he was going to end the los angeles gay pride parade. At a News Conference the politicize stressing they were still trying to figure out what 20yearold howl planned to do with these weapons. He mistakenly say he was going to harm people at the event. And no ill will toward gays or lesbians and added that howl was bisexual. The shooter known by fbi not once but twice we know that. Sandra the president and Vice President will be briefed this morning by fbi director james comey at 10 30 eastern time. Obviously thats closed to press but that meeting will be taking place then and then waiting on press conference down in orlando. Can i bring up one thing in terms of the the second time that the fbi investigated him . Because there were possible contact with the suicide bomber, a florida man who traveled to syria. Agents quote determined that the contact was minimal and did not constitute a substantive relationship or threat at the time. What does it take to require a substantive relationship . Its almost laughable; right . If it wasnt so horrific. It just shows how Political Correctness is killing us in this regard. And when you be an when these agents, their hands are tied, theyre restricted, and i know a number of fbi agents, theyre great people working hard to protectous the home front. But when their hands are tied and theyre concerned about, you know, being seen as islam phobic or having some sort of bias towards muslims, it prevents them doing their job. Yeah. That bringing up a good point because we havent even identified radical islam as the enemy; right . Its not being named. So when our leaders saying that, how are people working on the front line to prevent this do something about it . Sandra all right. So that orlando presser is going to be coming up. Were going to bring that to you live. Stay with us. More on the orlando massacre. What else we know about one of the most deadliest killers in American History this savage, the new details that we have on him next mentally, he was mentally unstable and mentally ill. Thats the only explanation that i could give, and he was obviously disturbed. Deeply traumatized. He would express toward everything. In new york state, we believe tomorrow starts today.

Omar manteen former coworkers and exwife alerting authorities to his violent behavior. He was investigated not once but twice by the fbi. What else dorsal know about him . For that, i would like to bring in naveed, naval officer and New York Times contributor. What else do we know about this man . Well, i think theres an interesting nexus dating back to 2013, 2014. Specifically two incidents that happened. One you had a nexis to the boston bombing. A suspect that was interviewed and eventually shot and killed by the fbi, and also abu, a man who went and killed himself. A suicide bomber. So theres one big question which is what is the nexus that was between this man and the two other individuals if there is one . Certainly dab im an intelligence guy. Coincidences are generally not coincidences. The fact that these two men were in that region, in that area and have clear connections to terrorism is disturbing and thats the reason the fbi was investigating them. Sandra the question were all getting this morning is why is a man like this who had a history as such he was investigated twice by the fbi in very recent years able to go out and buy two guns just before this attack . Well, i think thats a very simple legal question. He simply was not accused nor convicted of a crime. As far as i know on any watch list. And what you know . To be fair, the fbi interviews thousands of people. And you cant put evan on the list. So its up to the investigator or the person in the room say ive got a feeling, and in this case sandra can we layer on the fact that omar manteens father was hosted an antiamerican Television Show once called the taliban, our warrior brothers and very publically online exhibited what some would call suspicious behavior. Listen, i agree with you. And this is again, this is the biggest question. There are indications and warnings that there is something missed here. But if you cant find any additional legal evidence first of all, you cant arrest. But secondly, he wasnt going to syria, he was harboring, he wasnt moving money. I dont know exactly what more they could have done. And this is the problem with the rule that exists today. We should be putting people in watch lists, at a minimum if someone expects them being involved in something, they shouldnt be able to buy a gun. That seems like common sense but what is the mechanism to do that . I dont know. Sandra this morning the president had this security briefing, we know fbi director james comey will be, dea director, the director of the ntsb and attorney general will also be attending this briefing. Also briefed on this man. What more do you expect today about him . Well, i think the big question is was this directed terrorism . And what i mean by that is was there a command and control element in syria that was actually directing and funding this . Thats the big question because that would lead where theres a larger cell, theres a network here. Thats the first question we have to establish. If this was a loan wolf, its a totally different mechanism. Sandra i want to get this dr. Sebastion, he was on mornings with maria yesterday, sunday morning futures i should say, very powerful words. Listen. Maria, we need to stop using words like shocking, nobody should be shocked. This is what they have been planning to do after paris, after brussels, nobody should be surprised. Likewise this isnt to be called a tragedy. This isnt an amtrak train being derailed. This is part of the global jihadi strategy. Its not an accident, it is war against america. And lastly, please, please, i beg my colleagues in the u. S. Government, we have to stop talking about this maybe being a hate crime. Its not a hate crime. It is part of an ideological military assault on the United States of america. Sandra your thoughts. I agree with him. Clearly an act of terrorism. The big question is is it a singular loan wolf attack or . And i have to say the fact theres a section. Sandra and you said it doesnt matter whether it was a loan wolf attack or not. Yeah. Were focused on the 9 11 mindset that we want to cut the head off the snake and go back and, look, i certainly understand from an intelligence perspective thats what our military and Law Enforcement are trying to do. But the reality is the same number of people are dead directed or not. And for me dr. Doctor is exactly right. Weve got to combat the ideology. We know this is going to happen, if we dont step and you dont something about it. Sandra great to have you here this morning. Thank you. Thank you. Sandra were waiting from the ground also a News Conference there. Authorities should be stepping up to the microphone soon. We will bring that to you live as it happens. Stay tuned. Sandra the News Conference in orlando beginning now. Well go straight to it. Opd and the other Law Enforcement Law Enforcement agencies responded heroically allowing hundreds to escape and then the breaching wall, killing the bad guy, and rescuing dozens of hostages. The medical personnel that saved so many lives that were transported to the hospital are certainly heroes in my mind today as well as the entire community. And then we turn it over to we begin thinking of the families and identifying the victims, which is critically important because i cannot imagine being one of the parents or knowing your loved one might be among those that are deceased and then having to wait and find out. The fbi did an unbelievable job of clearing the scene by 11 00. All of the victims had been removed and turned over to the medical examiner and to the fdle. And then they also stood tall and did their job. And now all 48 of the 49 victims have been identified. 24 of the next of kin have been knifed with more to come. The number to call for families is 407 2464357, as the next of kin are being notified, we are putting the names of the victims on city of orlando slash victims. So, again, i want to, again, compliment the medical examiner and fdle the work they did all night long in making the identifications and notifying the next of kin, and we will continue that process again today. Again, we will not be defined by the act of a cowardly hater. We will be defined by how we respond, how we treat each other and this community has already stepped up to do that. Thank you. Governor. Thank you, mayor. Just a few minutes ago, i asked president obama to declare a state of emergency for the state of florida. I did that yesterday. And for orlando, Orange County, and the mayor did it yesterday for the city. The when you stop and think about this, you think about as we all think about thank god it wasnt our family. But as you go through that list of Family Members, we have a lot of individuals from puerto rico, a wonderful puerto ricoian community with a young lady kj morris that just moved here to take care of her mother and grandma. And a gentleman that works at harry potter, and i was just there last week. These are people that we interact with every day of our lyes. Our Law Enforcement has done a wonderful job, the Police Department, sheriffs department, fdle, fbi did a wonderful job in getting the bodies removed from pulse. And fdle with the medical examiner did a great job in identifying the bodies. This is a Wonderful Community we live in. This is a wonderful state. Were the best melting pot in the world. We have 20 Million People who live here, over 100 Million People who come visit here because its a wonderful place to both live and visit. Were going to continue to work hard to take care of these families and make sure we try to get this Community Back and the state back, work as quickly as we can. But right now its time to grieve for each Family Member that either lost a loved one or still has somebody in the hospital injured. Now time to turn it over to orlando chief john. Good morning. I want to provide some more information about our initial response and subsequent rescue of many, many people. So, again, we had an extra duty off duty officer working for pulse nightclub in full Police Uniform at about 2 00. He responded to shots fired. He did engage in a gun battle with the suspect somewhere near one of the entrances. Shortly after that, additional officers responded. Those additional officers made entry while the suspect was shooting, engaged in another gun battle with the suspect, forced him to stop shooting and retreat to the bathroom where we believe he had several hostages. At that time, we were able to save and rescue dozens and dozens of people who were injured and not injured and get them out of the club. Things kind of stabilized. Based on statements made by the suspect about explosives, possible gun vests, we secured everything, called s. W. A. T. And we did set up for an explosive breach on the bathroom wall where we knew there were approximately 15 people in the opposing bathroom where the suspect was based on the hostages. Based on the statement made by the suspect, based on information we received from the suspect and from the hostages and people inside, we believe further loss of life was imminent. I made the decision to commence the rescue operation and do the explosive breach. The explosive breach did not penetrate the wall completely. We used our Armored Vehicle, the bearcat Armored Vehicle to punch a hole in that wall and defeat the wall. So theres a hole in the wall about two feet off the ground about two or three feet wide. We were able to rescue dozens and dozens of people that came out of that hole. The suspect came out of that hole himself armed with handgun and a long gun and engaged in a gun battle with officers where he was ultimately killed. So at that time, at this time just want to say the opd initial responding officers to the s. W. A. T. Officers to all the other Law Enforcement acting very heroically and courageous and saved many, many lives during this operation. And one officer that was struck in the kevlar helmet right above his forehead, that kevlar helmet did save had you seen life. I talked to him, i spoke to him last night. He is doing great. So at this time ill turn it over to special agent. Can you clarify if anymore victims were shot when it was a hostage situation . So good morning. I want to talk very briefly about what our primary mission for all of us today is. And thats the identification of the victims and the notification of the family. As you heard from mayor dire, we have confirmed the identity of 48 of 49 victims. The last identity confirmation is pending right now. So we anticipate having that name here shortly. A number of those as you heard from the mayor, we have notified their next of kin and that is our 100 Priority Mission today. As youre aware, the city of settler advertising the names of those victims as we make the notification to the Family Member. And ill explain to you very briefly on how thats going. Teams of opd, fbi that were deploying as were releasing the names throughout the state and the nation to let the Family Members to let their loved one know that theyre deceased. After we confirm that, thats when we post to the website. Is i ask that everyone protect the privacy of the family only until we can confirm the next of kin is notified. Thats the primary mission right now to notify the Family Members exactly that one of their loved one is dead. And then we will advertise those names publically to the rest of the community. So ill turn it over to now i believe the fbi is ready to speak, ron hopper . U. S. Attorney lee bently. As mayor dire said yesterday was the most horrific day in the history of orlando, indeed it was the day of the largest mass shooting in the history of the United States. Terrible tragedy. First of all, on behalf of the federal government, i would like to thank our state and local partners. Florida department Law Enforcement, the orlando Police Department, the Orange County sheriffs office, the member and women that these agencies have been working tirelessly over the last day and a half. On behalf of the federal government, i would also like to thank the governor, senator nelson, and all the other elected officials who have been here today for their help, for their interest in whats going on here. Were working very closely at the United States Attorneys Office with our partners at the Main Department of justice. Also working of course with the fbi and with atf. An amazing amount has been done in just over 24 hours. As has been explained, almost all the victims have been identified. The notification process is on going. Weve been collecting a great amount of electronic and physical evidence. There is an ongoing criminal investigation. It is still in the early stages. We do not know yet whether anyone else will be charged in connection with this crime. I do want to let you know we have no reason to believe that anyone connected to this crime is placing the public in imminent danger at this time. But there is an investigation of other persons. Were working as diligently as we can on that. We have teams of prosecutors as well as teams of agents working around the clock, getting search warrants, court orders. If anyone else was involved in this crime, they will be prosecuted. Now im going to turn it over to the atf, special agent in charge. Thank you. Good morning. First i would just like to extend atfs family would like to extend a heartfelt, warm appreciation for the extended visit here today. On behalf of the atf, we would like to say we are here to give you their role in the investigation. We found on the scene there were two weapons on the scene. Atf brings the unique tracing capability to the table. Weve been able to trace the weapons. The weapons have been traced to the last known purchaser, which is the shooter. One of the weapons was also the third weapon was also found in his vehicle. We are still working on tracing that weapon as well. We would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the victims families as well as the lgbt community. We are working the investigation with a team of afs analysts special agents, we are working together with the fbi and all of our state and local partners here today. We have a team of people here that are able to provide what we can to this investigation. I would like to now turn it over to the fbi, special agent in charge. Good morning my name is paul, im the special agent in charge of the Fbi Field Office here in tampa, which includes the orlando resident agency. I think yesterday you heard from assistant special agent in charge ron hopper who did a tremendous job from the commander in the fbi. I think one of the that things take away from this in these bad events as we learned in 9 11, the bad events brings everybody together, as you see the Law Enforcement community we Work Together from the time 2 00 in the morning to when the shooting began everybody related together to work as one force. We have a joint Terrorism Task force which all of these agencies spoke are also represented on the joint task force. So we work cases side by side. I think a lot of the investigation so far has been disclosed to you. The main thing that we looked at in the very beginning is the victims. As you heard there are 49 that are deceased, 48 have been identified. Family members of about 24 families have been notified. We also had brought down 30 victim witness specialists and there to work with the families to try to get them what they do need. The resources are available. Other agencies have pulled their resources and brought them down. The fbi has brought resources to bear from the miami field office. The atlanta field office, the jacksonville field office, as well as quantico, virginia, the laboratory has sent down shooting reconstructionists and thats kind of the next task at hand. As of last night within 24 hours, all of the victims were removed from the pulse bar lounge and now were going to be processing it with the shooting Reconstruction Team to get as much forensic evidence as we can at that point. Investigation continues over the night, weve probably processed about 100 leads that were worked on by agents and Task Force Officers combined. The task force has been up and running since the beginning of this and will continue to run. Thats one of the things that all the agencies will do is bring the resources to bear. Our focus is to get you the truth as quickly as we can. But you have to realize theres a balancing act. A lot of what we do on investigations may be classified. We cant disclose that of course information. Basically ask for your patience. Well disclose what we can when we can and have to recognize that when we cant, its not because we dont want to. Its because there may be prosecutions down the road. Were not sure where the leads will go. As you know post 9 11, no stone is unturned. And thats the same today as it was then. Every terrorism case in the investigation is going to be worked the same way. No stone will be left unturned and well follow the leads wherever they take us, and well brief you as best as we can when we can. And you have to bear with us and just trust our judgment. The fbi has been in existence for over 108 years now, and weve earned the Peoples Trust by working cases hard and working straight forward with you. And we dont want to violate that trust by giving you bogus information and two hours later and tell you that information was wrong. So we give you Accurate Information and by doing that, it may it take some time to get you Accurate Information. So with that, we just ask you to bear with us as we move forward in the investigation. I want to do like everyone else did and commend the first responders. They saved lives by responding as quickly as they did. Numerous people were brought out alive and unharmed and many more in the hospital hopefully that recover and begin that healing process. And thats another thing, thats a bonus for this community that it has come together and hopefully that will maintain and stay the course. I guess well take some questions. Why has the number changed from 49 . I think the number that was give an out at some point in time the shooter was included in the number 50. There are 49 victims, we dont count the shooter as a victim. So thats how you get the 49. 48 of those have been identified of present. 24 of the families have been made aware of their location. Can you clarify one thing if you dont mind. A couple more remarks and then well answer questions. Good morning this is certainly been a trying time for all of us, and i can tell you as a native of orlando, this is certainly touching to my family and i that have served here in this community with the orlando Police Department and now as the Orange County sheriff. And theres never really been a time where ive seen the agencies at the federal, state, and local level have really come together to work throughout the night our agencies have continued to work with the fbi. We have great partnership, and i am certain that within just a short period of time all of these victims will be able to be identified and those families will be reunited with their loved ones if you will. That is certainly going on. And so we have received tremendous outpouring of support from across the country, from our colleagues and Law Enforcement, and i can tell you that its very heart warm to all of us who wear the badge and carry the gun on a daily basis. As i have talked with some of my staff and some of the staff who of the orlando Police Department who responded yesterday to this tragedy, the men and women were certainly touched by this. Many of them saw carnage that they would never, ever see in any other location. As you think about it, this is is not a war zone that were living in, this is a civilized society, and we had to deal with something unthinkable in which 50 people, 49 victims and an individual died yesterday. And many of these Law Enforcement officers had to go in and observe that. So now its about putting our community, our nation back together, and at the same time ensuring that those individuals who had to deal with what they saw yesterday are able to come back to work and do their jobs. So thats where i am at this point. Working with all of our partners to make sure we take care of those brave souls who responded. So at this time we believe were turning it over to the attorney general is what i was told. Is that correct . Okay. Attorney general pam bundy. Good morning. Just to update you from last night. We have mobilized 14 of our advocates from pensacola to miami. Theyre here on the ground working with the fbi, with the city of miami, we know now that of the victims only 24 families have been notified. I know you have this number. But please repeat it 407 2464357, 407 2464357. If youre a friend, distant friend, please dont use that number. That number is for relatives, loved ones, who are still attempting to identify these victims. Were here, were prepared to help you, we have counselors, advocates, and we also have compensation counselors who can also aid with funeral expenses if these victims families arent able to do so for themself. So today our goal as the sheriff said, were working together. This is about unity, this is about bringing the great city of orlando back together, our state, and our country. And thank you, again, to our federal state Law Enforcement offices and governor rick scott for standing strong with us this entire time. Thank you. Thank you. Can you clarify when this became a hostage situation several hours . Do you believe that the killer fired anymore shots, killed no. As soon as it stabilized and the suspect had barricaded himself in the bathroom, our negotiators were talking with him and there were no shots at that time. But there was talk about bomb vests, about explosives throughout and then there were statements made about imminent loss of life. So thats why i made a decision to make the entry at that time. About 0500 hours in the morning. He made that phone call we believe while he was in the bathroom, correct, after the initial victims were shot. He was in one bathroom with we believe four to five hostages. There were people in the opposing bathroom about 15 to 20 people. And unknown when we rescued dozens and dozens of people. So we dont know from which bathroom they came at this point. So thats all part of the investigation. How would you characterize any other suspect from not inside the club. I know theres an investigation going on by the fbi but nothing inside the club. How would you characterize the killers demeanor during this entire operation . I would say he was cool and calm when he was making the phone calls to us. We had a team of crisis negotiators that did talk to the suspect. Just trying to get as much information as possible, and they focused on, you know, what we could do to help resolve the situation. You were involved in making or you made the open decision whether to breach, when to breach, how to breach. Can you talk about what that was like . Yeah. Absolutely. And let me just say this. Im surrounded by a great team of people from not only the orlando Police Department but the sheriff as well as our federal partners. And the information that i received from my team is that loss of life was imminent. So, yes, we had to make that decision. Hard decision to make but, again, i wasnt alone, vaporing team of people advising me and we all knew that was the right thing to do and believe we prevented a lot of future loss of life and saved many, many lives. When he was on the phone, there are reports from witnesses that he was laughing, shouting, celebrating as he was firing, or that he proclaimed his allegiance to isis. What did he really say that you know . There was an aallegiance to the islamic state. There was no laughing as far as our negotiations were involved. Whats that . When will you release the thats up to the fbi. Partly of their federal investigation right now. Is there a chance people might have been struck by friendly fire so to speak maybe in the crossfire . An officer may have hit one of the victims . Its all part of the investigation. But i will say our s. W. A. T. Officers, about eight or nine opened fire. Their backdrop was a concrete wall, and they were being fired upon. So thats all part of the investigation. I have not heard that. Video surveillance . Im not sure about that right now. Why was there a threehour delay between going in . Because the scene had stabilized, it was a barricaded hostage situation at that time. We were negotiating with him and there were talk of bombs and explosives. Now, when that talk became a crisis for us is when we knew there would be an imminent loss of life and imminent thing that had to make that decision to go in. What was he asking for . He wasnt ask for a whole lot and we do doing most of the asking. Can you explain what the decision was to have people injured in the club get rescue personnel to get them maybe save their life but also this other decision to prevent more loss of life. What was it like to make that decision knowing people might be losing their lives because they couldnt get medical attention that they needed. What was that like for you . Absolutely its a hard decision to make but the right decision. Our number one priority is on saving lives. So it was the right decision to make i believe. And tough decision knowing that peoples lives would be placed in danger by entry. Our officers lives would be placed in danger by that entry. But we train for that. We have some of the most heroic and courageous s. W. A. T. Team members around. So they did a fabulous job and saved many lives. Was this a Suicide Mission for him . I dont know about any third gun or explosives recovered. We cannot determine that based on the conversations we had with him. Final question. The lounge area, the bathroom, bar area. But dozens and dozens of people were saved when our initial responding officers were able to make that entry. Most of the people out of the dance floor, out of the bar or lounge area. One more question, sir. Question for the fbi. Well, there was a timeline given and we believe there was imminent loss of life that we need to prevent. There were no reports of shots fired during that time. That im aware of. Thank you, all, very much. Peter. Final question. When the suspect was interviewed three times quarterback w be in that time counterterrorism investigators want to know if something can change. Our mission here from the tampa perspective in orlando is to work the case forward and back. Headquarters is looking at the other instance that youre referencing, they will work is back disbarred forward. Right now we dont have the answers to your questions. So well continue to move forward from june 12 forward and then do the historical of who this individual was and. So at some point well be able to answer your question. I just cant do that right now. I dont know enough to say whether im concerned or not. Thank you, all. This concludes our briefing today. Anyone that knew the information has information, we would like them to call 1800 call fbi. If you have any information about the shooter at all. This is our only planned press conference today. Well get back in touch with you via social Media Channels if you have anything further. Thank you, all, very much. Sandra there you have it. We just heard from most recently the attorney lee there leading the investigation. Mayor dire, this was breaking news on the number of victims. It had been reported there were 50 dead, we now know there were 49 victims. The shooter was involved in that 50 number. So 50 dead, including the shooter. Well have judge inspect nep at the top of the hour. Stay tuned. Well be right back. Sandra terror in orlando, im sandra smith in for maria bartiromo. The largest mass shooting in u. S. History, at least 49 killed and 53 injured. Rick scott offering information on the investigation moments ago. These are people that we interact with every day of our lives. Our Law Enforcement has done a wonderful job, the orlando Police Department, the sheriffs department, fdle, the fbi did a wonderful job of getting the bodies removed from pulse. And fdle with the medical examiner did a great job in identifying the bodies. Sandra more coming up of that News Conference. The fbi special agent says it has processed about 100 leads so far. A third gun was found in omar manteens car. Donald trump said to make a speech later today on terrorism in New Hampshire. And last hour, he spoke with our colleague at fox and friends, highlighting how Democratic Party leaders including his rival Hillary Clinton are not doing enough to address the root cause. You need something so much different than her. Shes just following his exact line. She wont utter the words either, radical islam. He wont utter the words. Unless you know the words and unless you know whats going on, youre never going to solve the problem. As we mourn the loss of the 49 lives, tribute coming in from around the world this morning and the New York Stock Exchange will hold a moment of silence at 9 25 a. M. Eastern. Thats lets get a quick look at the markets ahead of that opening bell this morning. Weve seen losses in Global Markets this morning ahead of the open. Asia markets and their day of trading, significant losses across the board there, ahead of this weeks Federal Reserve meeting in fears that britain will force to leave the euro zone. You can see the shanghai and uk off 3 . Stocks there and in france and germany down more than a full percent on the index. Here in the u. S. Small losses but dow futures off 54 points, a third of a percent loss perform nasdaq futures leading the way this morning off about 20 points. Here this morning Fox Business Network Dagen Mcdowell and capital kevin kelly is here and former fbi joint Terrorism Task force Steve Rodgers is here as well and judge napolitano. You sat with us on set during that News Conference where we heard from mayor buddy dire, rick scott, Orlando Police chief john saying quote responders offer responding officers acted heroically. We also learned that the number of victims dead totals 49. That 50 oriole included the shooter. Killer. Sandra some unbelievable things that were hearing coming out, the heroic acts and the gruesome details that occurred inside of that bar. Well, very difficult sight to imagine and Law Enforcement as steve can tell you, thats their job. Although they dont usually theyre not usually confronted with something of this magnitude. But what we saw in the press conference was about eight or nine Government Agencies working in tandem each pursuing their own of expertise. Four of whom the fbi and the bureau of alcohol and tobacco and firearms. Each pursuing their own area. Right now in that nightclub, Forensic Experts are reconstructing to the as best they can everything that happened that evening, including every shot that he fired. Where he was when he fired it, where it ended up, who it hit, and how it harmed a person that it hit. At the same time the fbi is clearly going through his iphone or android, whatever he had, all electronic equipment to see with whom he communicated. The main thing right now the victims who have been moved to a morgue were there confederates out there . Are they people who participated in the planning and might they be lethal themselves . Theres an enormous team of fbi agents who were not present at this press conference who are doing that even as we speak. Sandra and, steve, thats an enormous task for us to even fathom. Well, the judge is absolutely right. Its going to be combed through by Law Enforcement. But the key now is was there accomplices . Was there anybody else planned . There was reconnaissance. It was well planned and well executed operation. Was there anyone else involved . And is there, in fact, a connection to International Terrorism . Thats going to be the key response. Sandra some of the details we learned from the Orlando Police chief john mena offers an engage of exchange of fire with manteen to stop shooting. Omar retreated to the bathroom where he had been Holding People hostage. By the way, an update on the officer we keep seeing the picture of the kevlar helmet where an officer took a gunshot to the head there an update on him hes doing great. Theres a look at the helmet to show how direct of hit that was. The police on the scene knowing theres a killer inside, knowing that theres hostages, this Police Department executed their operation right to the letter of perfection. You heard the police chief earlier say that he had to make a decision to breach that wall. What a decision to make. How difficult that is because the first objective of the police is to protect innocent people. Sandra steve, is it fair i dont know if its criticism, but the there were questions the length of time to breach that wall. About three hours since the first shot took place. Yeah. There shouldnt be any criticism there because when youre on a scene like that, your objective is to save life or prevent the killing of more. If they had heard more shots, they would have been in there instantly. But they probably at one point wanted to talk to the shooter. Your objective is and in the case like this, its better to get them out alive because then you have more intelligence. Sandra and, by the way, judge, also governor rick scott who stepped up during that conference as well has said that he asked president obama to declare a state of emergency for florida. That would obviously change the way they can react or respond to this. It will actually produce more federal funds and more federal resources. I think to have a lot of federal resources and assets there as well. But declaring a state of emergency frees federal resources not only for Law Enforcement but for victims, for the club itself, for people who suffered a horrific loss, their provisions on the law that provide for a immediate federal financial assistance. If i can echo what steve just said. Initially it seems like moi god, why did you guys wait three hours to go in there . But now talking about they were talking to him they were trying to calm him down. They were trying to extricate without having to kill him and also found out that nobody died within that threehour time period. The decision to go in there whether youre wearing kevlar or whatever, its heroic. Its the perfect sonification of heroism. And where the change should be m president of the United States has to identify this animal. Radical islamic terrorist. He hasnt done that. In addition to that, i believe were getting in a point were treating this as a enemy combatant matter, were at war. And the president has to change that quickly. I want to ask the judge something. Judge, this was a man who was interviewed by the fbi three separate times and under investigation and had some connection with a suicide bomber who had moved from florida to syria. And yet nothing. The fbi will be criticized for this. Im sure they used their standard operating procedures, whatever they knew about this guy, its not enough probable cause to arrest them. Why didnt they have him enough surveillance . Was there not enough evidence to trigger the fact that he was dangerous . Did they know that he was licensed to carry these weapons . Did they know that he worked for a Security Company that has International Implications and the Security Company knew that he had been interviewed by the fbi too. And why would a Security Company, a company that provides security for the United States government in Foreign Countries have a person like this with his views about human freedom . With his views about radical islamic terrorism licensed to carry these weapons and work for them . It these are great questions, daig wen be that will take some time to answer. Sandra at the beginning of that News Conference a moment ago, we will not be defined by the act of a cowardly hater and anyone searching for a loves ones, they put out a phone number because we do know theyre still in the act of notifying Family Members of those 49 dead victims. Judge andrew napolitano, thank you. Youre welcome. Sandra greattoyou here. Up next the horrific attack in the white house shaking up the race for the white house. Donald trump slamming president obama and Hillary Clinton for reducing to blame radical islam. Now hes calling for the president to step down. Former Texas Governor rick perry will join us on that when a moment turns romantic why pause to take a pill . Or stop to find a bathroom .

Criticized the Obama Administrations current immigration policy. Listen. And were bringing thousands and thousands of them back into this country and into the country every year. Were allowing them to come into the country. You mean refugees . Im talking about people coming in from syria where we have no idea who they are, we have no idea as to paperwork, as to where they came from. This could be the all time great trojan horse. Sandra joining me now, someone who knows a lot about the immigration system here in this country. Former Texas Governor rick perry. Governor, thank you for joining us this morning. Welcome, sandra. Sandra its a dark morning as we now learn that there are 49 victims in this massacre in orlando. 49 dead, the shooter dead as well. Your thoughts this morning as we see the fbi carry out what is a very intense and detailed investigation. Yeah. As the governments whether its the federal or state go through the investigation, you know, there are things that the private citizen can do on this as we kind of get our arms around it and know where we can help, whether its giving blood weatherby its being able to donate to help the families of these individuals that weve lost. On a bigger issue, and you made reference to mr. Trump and his remarks this morning, i think hes spot on when it comes to this issue of criticizing the Current Administration for the lack of vetting of individuals that are coming into this country. There have got to be Better Options than bringing in individuals from this country from whom we havent done the background work. Is it working with our allies in the middle east, saudi arabia, for instance, where refugee camps can be set thereupon rather than transferring them halfway around the world and putting them in communities that may not be suited for them. But a real issue that i think has to be addressed as well as these agencies have government that appear to have failed whoever it is. You know, homeland security, is it fbi . As we look at these individuals, i mean how they missed this one, how they missed this individual is a real head scratcher. Sandra well, governor, to your point, he was investigated by the fbi twice were learning. In 2013 and 2014. And he as kt mcfarland said fell through the cracks. So whether or not there was a mistake made there, well obviously find that out in days and weeks to come. Yeah. Sandra but, governor, youre talking about immigration and Donald Trumps call on immigration to more closely monitor those coming into this country or even stop those coming into this country. But this man that youre looking at here, this shooter and this massacre, he was born here. He was born in new york city. Theyre living amongst us and carrying out these types of attacks. What can we do to prevent that . Well, i think the next president of the United States has to truly get these agencies focused on this issue of radical islam. Whether its homegrown, these loan wolf types or whether its happening halfway around the world allowing individuals to come in here. So i dont think that our federal government has focused on this properly. Why . I dont know. But i think most americans agree that we have done a poor job of being able to really identify who these individuals are. And thats got to change. And i think thats one of the reasons that donald trump is very popular out there from the standpoint of a political standpoint and what hes saying that were going to address this, and were going to address it so that americans know that they will be safe, secure this countrys borders, put the process in place so that americans know that they can get up and go to a nightclub or go to a church or go to a baseball game and be safe. Sandra does this, governor, put immigration and Foreign Policy National Security, did this become the central theme of this election as we head into the fall . Well, nothing is going to trump economics. Because if you dont have the resources to pay for the homeland security, to pay for the military, i think our military great example of weve led it for seven years basically start to shrink and shrivel on the vine if you will when young men and women arent getting the needed supplies and needed equipment. So theres a lot thats going to have to be done. You have to get this economy back on track first and parallel with that Start Building our military back up, defending our borders, having our agencies of government really get focused on this issue of islamic terrorism and how we stop it. Right here at home and halfway around the world. Governor, this is Steve Rodgers, im a former member of the National Military task force. I have a question for you. Weve talked about how to address this issue. But what has never been talked about anywhere is the fact that our educational system in this country is failing. I mean when we see what is being taught to students in college, the politically correct lessons that theyre getting, no more lack of American History. Do you see that as part of a solution to bring those things back so that we could instill pride in this country again . Well, certainly my home state is one of those that i think still do a pretty good job of we still teach Texas History in 7th grade. And i think it serves a real purpose. So youre spot on from the standpoint of standing up for america, being proud of this country. We are an exceptional nation. When the president of the United States stands up and basically apologizes for america, when the president of the United States sends the message that america is not exceptional. Not only does it play into the hands of those that would do harm to america, i think its a bad message for the next generation of americans as they come forward. Sandra former governor rick perry, thank you for joining us. Good to have you, sir. Coming up is america too politically correct . Former massachusetts senator scott brown joins us and what needs to happen t to make this sun safe in new york state, we believe tomorrow starts today. All across the state, the economy is growing, with creative new business incentives, the lowest taxes in decades, and new infrastructure for a new generation attracting the talent and companies of tomorrow. Like in rochester, with worldclass botox. And in buffalo, where medicine meets the future. Let us help grow your companys tomorrow today at business. Ny. Gov. Sandra all right. Were following all the latest developments on the terror attack, the shooter faced two fbi investigations over just the past couple of years. But still, he fell through the cracks. My next guest says its time on abandon Political Correctness. Joining us now former massachusetts senator and donald trump supporter scott brown. Good morning to you, senator. Good morning, sandra. Sandra your thoughts following this massacre in orlando. Well, obviously its tragic, its cowardly, certainly raises the awareness that we need to do an immediate frank and Detailed Analysis as to how were treating these types of incidents. Sandra so what does that look like . What do we need to do specifically . Well, sure specifically we need to make sure that the Law Enforcement personnel have the tools and resources to do their jobs and their hands are not handcuffed by Political Correctness. When you have a president , when you have others in our society not identifying who the enemy is, number two being fearful, Law Enforcement people are fearful that theyre either going to get sued or be labeled to have some type of bias against a specific group if, in fact, they go, for example, in this case the two separate occasions. Sandra okay. Local Law Enforcement do . The fbi wasnt even able to identify that this person was a grave threat. I mean what could well, i disagree. Sandra well, they investigated him but nothing came of it. Two different investigations. Exactly. Is that normal, sandra . Do you know anybody that you know thats been investigated twice by the fbi and hes allowed to get weapons . I mean how does that even happen that hes not on some type of list so that he cant even buy framer or not working for a Security Company. Theres going to be a lot more thats going to come out about that and we need to step back to get. Information. I thought the local Law Enforcement did an amazing job once they identified what was happening and going in and rescuing lives. But i believe theres a consensus throughout this country right now where Law Enforcement as youve referenced and weve talked about feel that their hands are tied and theyre getting more and more restrictions with dealing these types of things. So we have to figure on where do we want to go in this country . Are we going to support them 100 or step back and be handcuffed by Political Correctness . Sandra senator Steve Rodgers has a question. Senator, youre absolutely doing. How are you doing . Good, senator. Youre absolutely right, and i can tell you that what has happened over the years is that Police Officers do feel handcuffed. The u. S. Congress as well as the president , they have the responsibility to provide this nation with protection from local Law Enforcement to u. S. Military. If you notice, and i know this you know this, senator, there was a lot of funding given to Police Departments for the military equipment that they needed to address issues like this. And then we had the ferguson effect. What happened . The federal government wanted all of that equipment back and the funding stopped. So hes spot on, sandra. Hes spot on when it comes to that. Sandra all right. Senator, good morning. One of the main questions i have is it the real way to root out this ideology is to go take the fight over there and destroy the caliphate . Because weve seen now two attacks on american soil within the last year, and its no coincidence that weve talked about it earlier that basically they had 700 fighters, now theyre up to 30,000 and were doing nothing an the void when america left. So isnt that we destroy the caliphate thats fostering this ideology . Yeah. I believe it started in iraq when the president didnt leave a transition for us there and also extended in syria when he drew that red line and nothing happened. So we can go on and on and talk about how alqaeda of iraq is now isis the size of new england. And obviously i think what we need to do not only that, but make sure that we deal with the propaganda tools that they have. How do they have a Radio Station thats actually fungussing spewing out hate . How dove mosques that are spewing out hate that have radical coming in and firing up and getting these people fired up so that you have the loan wolf situation . Where you have these people who are inspired . How do they use social media . How do facebook and twitter allow these people to spew their hate . At which point do we stop with the Political Correctness and give our Law Enforcement and give the american citizens the protections that they actually need . Sandra okay. And the point is this, senator. At what point is when president of the United States recognizes this as war. And once you recognize this as war, the rules of engagement change. You unleash the military on the isis and the terrorists on the mideast and different rules here. No longer addressed as a criminal justice incident, its addressed as a combatant. These are enemy combatants taking a look at destroy us. Sandra senator, weve to let you go here. I do want to get this in here. Donald trump, you do support donald trump, hes set to give a speech later today. Expected to address terrorism. Yeah. Sandra and this massacre. Your response. What do you make of the response that youve seen from donald trump so far on this . Well, first of all, hell be in the room right next door here. Im here right now. The response sink spot on when it comes to bringing in people from syria and war torn countries without having any investigation whatsoever. To say its just muslim related, i think its more than that. We have to really change our attitude in identifying whos perpetrating these cowardly acts and make sure that we can sop it by not only dealing with the Political Correctness but making sure that our Law Enforcement and citizenry can prosecute themselves. Sandra well be watching. Thank you, senator, for coming in with us on this breaking news. Up next, first it was San Bernardino where 14 lives lost to terrorism. Now a devastating attack in orlando. What role does social media play in the global fight against terror . We break it down for you just ad. Family road trip fun check engine. Not fun but, youve got hum. Thats like driving with this y.

Put some smarts in your car. Terror in orlando. Im sandra smith in for maria bartiromo. Its monday, june 13th. The largest mass shooting in history. 50 dead and 53 injured on what is the deadliest attack on american soil since 9 11. Authorities are providing information on the investigation, detailing an s. W. A. T. Team incursion. These additional officers responded and made entry while the suspect was shooting, engaged in another gun battle with the suspect, forced him to stop shooting and retreat to the bathroom where we believe he had several hostages. At that time we were able to save and rescue dozens and dozens of people who were injured and not injured and get them out of the club. He concluded saying responding officers acted heroically. More out of that News Conference. Governor scott declaring a state of emergency for the state of florida. The fbi special agent says theyve processed 100 leads so far and a third gun was in his car. One thing to keep an eye on, gun stocks, in the aftermath of the terrorism, sturm ruger and smith wesson, up a couple dollars there a couple dollars and for sturm ruger a can oomph dollars as well. This calls for Gun Legislation and discussion by Hillary Clinton about more gun regulation as well. And both of these stocks are up nearly 1000 i guess on a year to date basis. Dagen smith wesson is up 737 during the Obama Administration. Sandra during the Obama Administration, okay. Dagen 822 . Theres big news crossing the wires right now, microsoft is buying linkedin 22 billion dollars so theres a statement that just came out, microsoft is buying linkedin so its on microsofts website that theyre doing that. Thats big news and well look at that and get more on that. The global market, Broader Market asian markets selling off overnight. And off more than 3 . Investors on edge over this weeks Federal Reserve meeting, as well as fears that britain may be exiting the euro zone. That weighing on european markets. As you can see the ftse 1100 in london off, and cac quarante leading the way to the down side off 61 points or 1 1 2 . Germany down as well. Here in the u. S. , we are looking at a lower open on wall street, less than an hour from now. Dow futures up 59 points, s p futures off 6 and nasdaq futures leading the way there, off 20 points ahead of the opening bell. A reminder, the New York Stock Exchange will be holding a moment of silence in the wake of the orlando massacre. 29yearold omar mateen opened fire in a florida nightclub, killing 50 people and injuring others. Jeff flock is in orlando where a press conference just took place and, jeff, we learned a lot more. We did and you hit a lot of the points, i think. Here is my headline though, thats to the question of connection. U. S. Attorney lee bentley from the Central District of florida revealing they have made a lot of progress in terms of electronic evidence, computers, phones, that sort of thing, to see what kind of connections, if theres somebody out there. Bentley said while nobody is being actively sought at the moment, he did say that other people are being investigated. Listen to him in his own words. We have no reason to believe that anyone connected to this crime is placing the public in imminent danger at this time. That there is an investigation of other persons and were working as diligently as we can on that, we have teams of prosecutors, as well as teams of agents working around the clock, getting search warrants, Getting Court orders, if anyone else was involved in this crime, they will be prosecuted. You can imagine, sandra, theres a lot going on behind the scenes right now and that apparently does involve people, whether or not its people he had some cursory contact with or whether these were potential accomplices that remains to be scene. Well continue to watch him. Jeff flock, thank you. Lets bring in lt. Colonel tony schaeffer, retired from the army and london policy research. Tony, good to have you here, sir. Isis is effective at recruiting and promoting itself by social media, we know that, we see that, we see reluctance on the part of social Media Companies to take that down. Are we doing enough right now to fight this terror online where we know so much of this recruitment is taking place . No, were not. And i think theres three reasons were not. First, its the same thing going on with the fbi and others. Theres this politically correct attitude, oh, theres nothing to see here. Well, theres something to see here, we see it over and over again. Most importantly, sandra, what were not learning as a country, as an intelligence community, Law Enforcement community, weve seen in europe how it happened and weve seen the methodology. This is called asymmetric warfare, we used to do it to the russians back in the cold war. We have to basically at the point accept two premises. Isis is serious and theyre using unconventional methodology, thats the way they do business in social media and other things behind social media are the way they do it. Colonel, we know that there were warning signs. We know that this shooter was active on many different social networking sites. We know that he was investigated by the fbi twice. Right, right. Sandra yet, a couple of days before this mass shooting, he was able to go out and buy a couple of guns. Where is the disconnect . Who is failing us here . Oh, let me go through it. First, the fbi did investigate him. That information was never passed to local Law Enforcement, the program which is supposed to do that was cut. So the joint Terrorism Task force which is supposed to do that, that piece of the program was cut off. Fist mi first mistake, who know who has been investigated by the fbi and nothing happens . The Law Enforcement has been beaten down by care and other organizations saying every muslim is a peace loving individual. Wrong, its not true. We have to accept the fact that the enemys coming at us using the muslim community. These networks, like they did before 9 11, following the al qaeda play book, hiding in plain sight using the mosque community. Importantly, we have to understand the level of access. President obama and Hillary Clinton call for gun control, wrong. Its people like this get guns. He had access to guns feel lega he was a guard in programs supported by the federal government. We have to understand the enemy is real and coming at us through the official mechanisms. Dagen the Security Firm knew he had to be interviewed by the fbi. Absolutely. Dagen they had gun checks on him when he was hired and later they knew the fbi looked into him and he was still working for them. Huge red flags, were ignoring huge if you if it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, its a duck and weve got to get over the fact we dont know that.

Donald trump says hes been right about a lot of things. And those are quotes, including terrorism by but doesnt want credit. He wants to see america get tougher and thinks hes the man for the job. And joining me now is the host of Varney Company, Stuart Varney with so much going on, good to see you, sir. Stuart im trying to digest microsoft buying linkedin for 26 billion dollars and the politics of the orlando outrage. It seems to me that president obama and Hillary Clinton took a larger defensive posture, calling for gun control, they see the event as a Law Enforcement issue. But donald trump did exactly the opposite. Less than an hour, about an hour ago on fox news, donald trump was right out there in a very aggressive fashion. He says, yes, the militarys got to take action, knock out their radio, knock out their internet capability. He says we have generals who say we can win this thing. We have to be furious. Hes calling for strength, intelligence, stronger intelligence community. President obama will not single out this group. So whats happened is, within what, 48 hours of this event, donald trump has seized the Political Initiative and seized it very strongly so. I think hes gone on the offense. I think thats what people want. And i think it contrasts sharply with Hillary Clinton and president obama and certainly bernie sanders. Thats the issue of the day, but i dont think it has anything to do with wall street, sandra. Sandra former navy seal leif babin says we need to be proactive rather than reactive. And we need to be proactive and this is a time were seeing political leaders step up and political candidates step up and say how they intend to do that. Stuart yes, and i think that donald trump is quick to draw on this one. I think hes outfront and i think hes seized the initiative of this event, this outrage at this particular moment. Sandra i know youll probably be covering the microsoft deal as well. This is big news this morning, the stock halted ap supposed to begin trading in a couple of minutes, but linkedin shares surging on this news. This is a huge deal to kick off a morning for wall street e yes, it is. What is apple going to do with its cash hoard, which is over 200 billion. Theres all kinds of repercussions from this, but i think it generally, positive for the overall market. As one of our guests was saying earlier. I think its positive for the market. Sandra well be watching it, thank you, Stuart Varney. Ill see you at 11 00 this morning, by the way, sir. Stuart you will. Sandra Varney Company starts every day at 9 00 eastern.

Breaking news, microsofts acquiring linkedin for 26. 2 billion dollars, an all cash deal. Stock resumed trading. Kevin i want to get to you first on this. Microsoft shares down 4 out of the gate once it started trading. I dont think its a big deal out of the gate. This is a company that is trading at a fair valuation, they paid just under 3 dividend. They have tons of cash, do acquisitions like this that continue growth. You Want Companies on the top line, as well as the bottom line. And microsoft has proven that and you can see that in our share price. Over the last year. All right. So, and by the way, in relation to this, as you had hinted, twitter shares are getting a boost from this this morning. Speculation there, stock up 6 . Dagen ill point out the difference between the companies. One is based on essentially ad revenue, but twothirds of linkedins revenue base helping corporate recruiters, two different business, one valuable, once struggling. This is 50 premium. And by the way, microsoft says it remains committed to completing the 40 billion Stock Buyback Program by year end and expects this deal to reduce adjusted earnings per share about 1 for the remainder of the fiscal year. Were going to move on. Turning to the latest development of the fbis investigation into the deadly shooting in orlando, the fbi saying in a News Conference earlier, its still looking into leads to rule out the possibility of other people involved in the shooting. Steve, what do you make of this . Theres still a lot that we may learn here in the coming minutes, hours, and days. And a lot may go on. Look, isis is looking at, for example, our president ial election. Stuart mention it had earlier. Isis is going to have to step up operations before january because the greatest fear they have is donald trump becoming president of the United States. Look, donald trump got out in front of this immediately and as stuart said, he took, as if he was commanderinchief already. Sandra what do you make of that the timing of that. Is that fair . Theres criticism that hes sounding insensitive to be coming out and saying i told you so, im right, im right when 50 people are dead. Its not insensitive. Its the gods honest truth. He was out in front of this before the attack and hes consistent. He spoke from a position of strength and thats what isis is concerned about. Right now, we have a weak president , and almost isis knows, you talked about the redline in the sand earlier. Were not going to take action against isis under this administration, but donald trump, hes projected strength and theyve got concerns about that, leads us to are they going to step up operations before january . Because after january, if donald trump becomes elected president of the United States, isis is done. Sandra wow. Steve, i want your take, do you think there will be links to other potential terrorists because he did know the suicide bomber . I think its possible. Theres more of a possibility there are links to people who influenced him, but wasnt involved in the actual operation of this attack. Sandra all right. Final thoughts from our panel after the break. Wow, three hours almost done. Well be right back. With creative new business incentives, and the lowest taxes in decades, attracting the talent and companies of tomorrow. Like in buffalo, where the largest solar gigafactory in the western hemisphere will soon energize the world. And in syracuse, where imagination is in production. Let us help grow your companys tomorrow today at business. Ny. Gov final thoughts from our panel, kevin kelly, Dagen Mcdowell and steve, ill start with you first. If you see something, Say Something, thats very, very important. Secondly, i would say this country has to come together. Put an end to Political Correctness and id like to add that we need to pray for this country. Theres a god above, we need to pray to him for guidance and protection. Sandra well said. Dagen. Dagen i just hope that it shines a light on everybody being more tolerant of those who are law abiding citizens. And lets think about this, this is a tolerant nation and we embrace all political affiliations and religious organizations and Sexual Orientation and tolerant and combat the hate and evil out there. Its sad. Sandra we will be learning more, of course, president Obama Meeting with his Security Council later this morning. He will be advised on the very latest, including from the fbi director, james comey. So, a lot more to happen. Thanks to all of you for joining us. Sad morning and our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the 49 victims in orlando and their Family Members, as many have yet still to be made aware of the death of their Family Member. That does it for us. Varney company is up next with the latest on the orlando terror attack. Stuar stuart . Orlando to command we have shots fire, on requested you stay back, dont enter the scene. Gunfire, gunfire all personnel, youre not in a position of cover. And took the bandana off and tied it up, and the bull hole in his back. After the second shot, there was a pause and it started shooting, shooting. Rapid fire and he changed and another ammunition and then changed another ammunition. Monday morning, less than 48 hours since an islamic terrorist killed 49 at a gay nightclub in orlando. With just five months to a president ial election, this outrage, this attack on america does have and should have great
