bill bratton said this is war. the seriousness of this threat is very very real.lea to congress saying do not hold our counterterrorism workers hostage hostage. >> you are exactly right. my pessimism and why i don't think this is going to happen is because many other times when the good of the country was at stake, the debt ceiling, government shutdown, and republicans in the house, even then decided not to do anything. they decided to put their political interests ahead of the country's. i absolutely agree with you, abby. until speaker boehner can prove my wrong, i will remain pessimistic. >> it had to feel like a punch to the gut today when commissioner bill bratton said counterterrorism should not be held hostage to d.c. politicians. we're so glad to have you with us today. first, if we can just get your reaction to the news of the day. three brooklyn residents arrested looking like they were wanting to go overseas and fight with isis. >> it's a frightening example of what's to come and that is individuals who are motivated by what they see on tv, by what they

. >> new york city police commissioner bill bratton is with us this morning.do these remarks by the head of the fbi resonate and will they have impact? >> it does resonate both in terms of what he said and more importantly who said it. the head of the fbi, well respected by law enforcement and respected by minority communities. they rely on the federal govrnment so much. what was said as well as who was saying it. >> where do you go from these remarks be i the fbi resonating to communities across the country? >> well, the good news is what he said is really nothing new about that. police chiefs, major cities' police chiefs have been speaking to these inconvenient truths if you will for a number of years, but now to be able to align ourselves with the head of the fbi and to take these conversations into the broader communities because one of the things he said -- this is not just about police bias or racism. it's about societal racism. we all have it, whether we're white, we're black. these are important truths to speak to. >> is there an urgency about it? >> t

bill bratton was correct. it's important when the minority community understands that law enforcement, faith leaders social workers like my daughter, mental health officials, athletic associations, ymca's, ywca's are all working together. that's where it works, as the communities can tell you. that's where it works. when everybody is in the game. it can't be done without that kind of community building. but the efforts, the initiatives that we hope will arise from this summit are those designed to bring together coalitions to help solve the problems. but mainly so every child and every minority community in america, particularly now in the muslim american community, is able to feel like we see them. we actually see them. who they are. carmen ortiz said it best, he said, our goal is to really promote public safety and to have a community to be part of our national security. national security flows from a sense of community. it flows from a sense of community. so if you're dealt out, if you're not treated with r

new york city police commissioner bill bratton said that the threat was very real. >> it was made quite plain based on their own statements that if they were not able to go, they would seek to acquire weapons here, machine guns, and seek to attack very specifically police officers. >> the men have been on the government's radars for months, at least since august, when one of them wrote on an isil propaganda website that he was in the u.s. he didn't have any weapons, but he wanted to carry out attacks and become a martyr. that website has since been taken down, but the complaint against the men said that he wrote, what i'm say something to shoot obama and get shot ourselves. will it do? that will strike fear in the hearts of the infidels. now federal agents interviewed that man a week after the post. he told them then that he wanted to travel to syria and if he had the chance he would hurt president obama or bomb coney island. he was recorded of wanting to shoot police officers and fbi agents and told an informer that he wanted to travel to syria to wage jihad but that his mother had tak

let's take a quick listen to what bill bratton, the new york police commissioner had to say about thisng on in washington at the moment the debate about with holding of funding for homeland security 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 machinations in d.c. >> do you agree, senator and will you make it known to your colleagues to put an end to this stalemate? >> i do agree. i've been wanting to fund the department of homeland security for quite some time. i think every republican does want to fund the legitimate authorized activities and the essential activities of the department. we've been trying to get a bill on the floor of the senate for a number of weeks, it's been sent to democrats that have blocked even putting a bill on the floor for debate try to find the compromise try to find the path forward. leader mcconnell devised a path. and fortunately, i think a vote of 98-2 will take up the m
