islamic state. the agencies investigating suspected isis in all of the 50 states. that comes as three new york city men are in federal custody for allegedly conspireing to support the group and suggesting that they would shoot barack obama. we have the latest with pete williams. >> prosecutors say this is a part of an alarming trend, people in the u.s. that are radicalized by social media and are willing to join with isis fighters over seas or to the stay here and commit acts of jihad. at new york's kennedy airport, agents arrested a brooklyn man that was headed overseas to join isis fighters. authorities say if the henmen could not get there, they were talking about staging attacks, perhaps

planting a bomb in coney island or tri-ing to on kill the president or the police. >> it was made clear that if they were not able to go that they would seek to acquire weapons here handguns machine guns, and seek to attack very specifically police officers. >> the fbi said that the case began last august when juraboev asked on a uzbek website if he could shoot obama to strike fear in the hearts of infadels he admitted to fbi agents in august and kept on planning. he e-mailed a isis supporter saying i need to sneak out of here with caution. he was under close watch meeting with someone he did not know was undercover. >> they make us question the approach that the federal government takes to young muslim men in america. >> prosecutors say a third man,

habibov raised money to help the other two pay for their plane tickets. >> those people exist in every state. i have home grown violent extremist investigations in every single state. >> the men arrested face charges of material support to terrorism. a as for their plans to stage attacks here investigators say, those never got beyond the talking stage that the men had no guns or explosives. >> all right, pete williams in washington, thank you so much. and most of the 100 plus recruits from the united states and thousands more from europe and the arab states have one thing in common many of them have crossed in to syria from turkey. our chief foreign correspondent richard ingle has that story. this is the highway on jihad, almost all of the supporters to join isis sneak across turkey's border with syria. among them those three british teens that came through turkey

last week and the wife of one of the paris terrorists t border stretches across 500 miles of hills and farm land. it's hard to patrol but turkey has now started pouring resources in to fortifying it but before passing through the border they have to pass through here, it's one of the busiest in the world, east meets west. that is really the problem. with so much traffic they can not stop everyone. official here say they have put together a black list of possible extremists. a list with 10,000 names provided by foreign intelligence agencies. but critics say turkey still is not doing enough. >> and those critics include the united states and a lot of western powers. at some point, turkey is going to have to figure out whether they are an ally in the fight or whether they are an enemy.

let's go back to washington, a deadline looms large. congress did take a big step forward on wednesday. the senate advanced the clean dhs funding bill that michigan mc -- that mitch mcconnell was talking b the bill with no provisions attached he cleared despite despite harry reid's objections. the question now is what is next? house speaker, john boehner said is he is not sure that he will bring the measure to the vote in the house and told those in a closed door meeting who were angry about what went down in the senate that he and mitch mcconnell had not spoken in two weeks. some of john boehner's conservative followers in the house like mo brooks said they will not vote for a clean funding bill. >> i don't know what the speaker's plan is going forward, i can tell you what my position is, and my position is and i

think that there are substantial number of republicans in the house of representatives that agree, that the united states constitution comes first and we are not going to abdecate our oath of office to the constitution for a convenient that will under mine national had security. illegal aliens are under mining national security. >> he is not alone, you have veterans like matt sam from arizona and mark sanford who will be on the show later today, telling us why they will not vote for a clean up or down bill if that is the case if conservatives block that bill then it looks like we may have a shutdown yet. meanwhile, dhs secretary johnson called the entire situation absurd, his predecessors seem to agree.

>> in these challenging times, when we were concerned about terrorist organizations, we are in the midst of a harsh weather, it is even absurd to be stlg conversation -- to be having this conversation. it's absurd that i have to spend a large part of my work week defending paying our people to work. >> i personally believe as a former member of the congress of the united states, that the president has gravely over-stepped his constitutional authority. but i don't think we right that wrong on the backs of of the patriots that go to work every day to provide safety and security at the department of homeland security. there are deep concerns people have about the executive order that the president undertook. that matter a as it turns out is likely to be dealt with by the courts. what i don't think makes sense is to hold the entire is set of

operations of the department of homeland security in abeyance as a hostage as the legislative branch starts to play a game of chicken with the president. >> it was said that a lot of republicans, the president over reached constitutionally we don't right that wrong by defunding the department of homeland security. we will see if other republicans in the house of representatives listen to him. and in new york city bill bratton, a man dealing with homeland security concerns in his own backyard and certainly was scrambling yesterday, spoke out against the political posturing as well. >> this is not the time to engage in activities that would threaten our counterterrorism capabilities such as have been exhibited in the movement on this case. and effectively to hold our counterterrorism agencies hostage to political machinat

tmptt machinations in d.c. this is not the time to engage in political grandstanding. president obama was defending his action in front of a crowd in florida international university. he was talking to msnbc's jose diaz and vowed to veto any legislation that reversus his plan and presses the republicans to fund homeland security. >> we know history is on our side and we have said instead of trying to hold hostage the funding for the department of home land kurtland security, which is so important, fund it and let's get on with passing comprehensive immigration reform. so, in the short-term the, if mr. mcconnell the leader of the senate and the speaker of the house, john boehner, want to

have a vote on whether what i'm doing is legal or not. they can have that vote. i will veto that vote i'm confident that what we are doing is the right thing to do. >> president obama was also asked to respond to probable presidential contender jeb bush. bush, the republican front-runner said is that the president over stepped his authority with immigration plans. >> i appreciate mr. bush being concerned about immigration reform. i suggest that what he do is talk to the speaker of the house and the members of his party. because the fact of the matter is. that that even after we pass bipartisan legislation in the senate, i gave the republicans a year and a half a year and a half to just call the bill. we had the votes. they would not do it. and then the notion that well, you know if you just had not taken the executive actions, if

you have not done it, maybe we voted for it. that does not make sense. that's an excuse. >> all right, that fight continues we will obviously be covering it over the next three hours on "morning joe." it's not often that the front page also of the new york times washington post are in sync. but they are among those across marry highlighting the growing rift between united states and israel over the nuclear talks with iran. the white house is hitting back hard against netanyahu. national security adviser susan rice and this is stunning. called the speech "destructive" and warns that it would threat ten bipartisan ties between the countries. for the second straight day, second secretary of state john kerry criticized netanyahu on

capitol hill. >> israel is safer today with the added time we have given and the stoppage in the nuclear program than they were before we got that agreement which by the way the prime minister opposed. he was wrong. the prime minister as you recall was pro foundly forward leaning and out spoken about the importance of invading iraq under george w. bush and we all know what happened with that decision. >> so of was hilary clinton and a lot of other democrats. benjamin netanyahu said that the six world powers have gave up on stopping iran from developing nuclear weapons saying ", maybe

they live with it but i can't." a large military drill was launched near launched. this is a replica of an american aircraft carrier. good luck going up against a real one. and a mixed day on wall street wednesday with the dow closing at a record high for the s&p and nasdaq closing a bit lower and the big news from the company that owns tj maxx it announced that it will increase wages over the next couple of months. what started with walmart now moving through the entire economy. let's go to cnbc's carolyn roth. carolyn, another retailer feeling the pressure of the need to increase wages. is that good news not only for the employees but for the entire economy? >> that is pretty good news i mean last week we talked about walmart raising pay for the lowest paid employees. and now this week it's tj maxx

and marshals. they are saying they will pay the u.s. workers at least $9 an hour and clearly, joe, what this means is that we are seeing a tightening inging market and there's more importance on retaining staff. i want to move on to another story that caught our eye. morgan stanley addressing legacy issues from before the financial crisis. they are saying that they are paying $2.6 billion to settle claims that they missold mortgage bonds, misrepresenting the risk of those very risky bonds before the financial crisis. if you look at the fine though $2.6 billion, this is very small fine compared to what for example, j.p. morgan had to pay in 2013. joe? >> and carolyn, what are we watching for today in the markets? should it be a better with day? >> it could be a fairly positive day if you look at futures they are pointly slightly higher for dow and s&p is the dow hitting another record high in yesterday's trading session, we

are sort of lacking a catalyst here. now that we have yellen's testimony out of the way. where do we look next? yes, the report that we are looking for is the print of 1.6%. >> thank you, carolyn. we appreciate it. and still ahead on way too early, president george w. bush tell thes us what he misses the most about his presidency. his answer may surprise you. and later, a memorable performance by madonna in london, but not one that she is going want you to remember. unfortunately for her, we have got the video. we will show you that and get the check on your weather when way too early comes right back. more than 500 rescue workers are there at the scene of a massive underground explosion

all right, form president george w. bush is opening up of what he misses the most about bein the oval office he was talking to a crowd when he took a walk down memory lane. he started off by cracking a couple of jokes and then turned serious. >> people said you miss much? i miss for example, the air force accommodating me with a shower on the airplane that flew me around. i do not get irritated but i have to stop at stop lights now. i miss saluting those who volunteer to put themselves in harm way. three of whom are here today.

and i have vowed that for the remainder of my life that i will do all i can do to help our vets. >> let's get a check on the weather with bill. bill, we have nicole wallace who was his speech writer. one of the speech writers is going to be here this morning and nicole told me in the past that they had to change the wording of certain speeches because whenever it dealt with military vets and losses or people coming back home the president would tear up. and it would be hard for him to get through the spoech seeches and they would be careful because he was emotional about the sacrifices of the men and women. >> it's very easy to appreciate anyone that puts that much thought and care in to our tears. >> definitely. what does the weather look like? >> we missed one by the way. >> if you look at the map, it looks like your lava lamp. >> like when you were in middle school? yes.
