bill bratton started in boston. he had a hard time in boston. right? they kicked him around and he came up with this policing business. he did -- he graduated from boston. he did great there. then he came to new york, and he was giuliani's commissioner. then he -- then he goes to los angeles. he is out there dealing with the gangs. when i was first governor, i called him. he didn't know me. i said, sir, i've been elected governor of ohio. tell 34th me who would be the best person to run my prison system, because you're the best in policing. he said, well, we don't have anybody great. we do now, my guy, gary moore. my guy. but bratton is a smart guy. now we're back here again and i believe him. these people can get it. no question ant it. if i want to find out about radicalization in the muslim community, i don't send you. as smart a guy as you are, you aren't going to be able to find it out. i have to go talk to somebody in the community. if i want to know about radicalization in the mosque i got to talk to somebody who goes to the mosque. if i try to

making de blasio and commissioner bill bratton. off for example, the stop and frisk program has not been banned under de blasio but it has certainly curtailed. ted cruz's team lowered expectations and might finish third in new york state. he is trying to pick up delegates. he is trying to appeal to republicans not just in new york city and rest of the state where de blasio are symbol of liberal democratic governance run amok. it's a smart strategy even though he probably has a losing hand in new york. martha: they're out there. and he is working on nailing them down and he will appeal to them no doubt with that sentiment. howie, thanks. always good to talk to you. see you next time. >> same here, martha. bill: health officials are saying that the zika virus is much more dangerous than they realize with new information public, dr. marc siegel has what you need to know in a moment. martha: he went out with a bang. lakers star kobe bryant racking up 60 points in the final game of his career. sportscaster jim gray got interview with th

out when ted cruz made his proposal to patrol and secure muslim neighborhoods, you and your boss bill bratton saying, don't ask the police to do things like that that are counter productive, might even be unlawful. did you get any pushback on that? >> not a single bit, fareed. and i mean, even the construct of what he was saying, that the federal government should authorize local police to patrol and secure his lum neighborhoods against radicalization, first of all, the depth of that is less than an inch. it wouldn't work. second of all, it shows a fundamental of misunderstanding of american neighborhoods. also american policing. it's funny from ted cruz, a state's right guy. but the sub text or the code word there is not patrol and secure. the code word was to intimidate. and that's just not the way it works in america. >> he pointed to the n.y.p.d. mission that was described as eves dropping on communities and mosques being the one he meant. what do you think of that program? >> so, that program is not what it was described to be. the demographics unit which according to many people who hav

bill bratton said cruz doesn't understand security and what we have to do to bring our communities closer to our police including our muslim communities. i think ted cruz, every time he wants to try to disagree on policy, ends up looking pretty stupid, so he broadens it and attacks the people of new york state. that makes no sense. it's not going to work for him. >> mayor, do you think ted cruz taking you on might help him with republicans? that could be -- that's clearly what he thinks. >> you know, if he wants to do that, that's fine. i can take it. but then talk about me and my policies. don't attack the people of new york who work hard every day and have been an example to this koishlt country of people getting along and respecting each other. don't attack the nypd who has thwarted 20 different terrorist attacks in new york in 15 years. show the respect for the nypd and the people of new york. >> let's talk about the democratic race. a heated democratic race all of a sudden in new york state. last night senator sanders gave a speech where he flat out said hillary clinton, you're not q

enjoyed watching ted cruz question bill bratton.lice and community closer together, by taking away the negatives and some of the barriers, it's lead to more effective crime fighting. first quarter this year the lowest number of murders and shootings in the first quarter of any year in new york city history. while we reduced stop and frisk intensely while we reduced complaints against police simultaneously. it just shows there is a cooperative path that is the future america. >> there's polls out from our wnbc, our affiliate here and the wall street journal last week that say you're doing 35% only approve of your job performance and 51% of people in the city think it's going the wrong direction with 43% saying in the right direction. how do you explain the numbers? >> i have come to the conclusion that polls go up-and-down. you can't get lost in them. polling is becoming a little bit more of a questionable science. >> you don't believe the numbers? i don't believe them because at this given moment, you know, anything can change. peop

now police commissioner bill bratton says his officers will seize any atms or unlicensed motorcycles. he told the bike owners go to long island or face some serious consequences. >> they're not going to be too happy when we take those damn things and crush them. >> next door, nassau county, the police chief says he doesn't want illegal atvs on his streets either. he's using helicopters to track them down. >>> we are now learning more about the man police are searching nor a string of police released this photo of 65-year-old dlarns jones, but 4 investigates finds he's managed to elude police for more than a year. he failed to report to a parole officer. and a warrant was issued for his arrest. he's also being investigated in other robberies. >>> police in the bronx are looking for two robbers who ripped off a barber as he was working on a discuss. it shows the suspects walking into manuel's style barber shop. one had a gun as he snatched a chain from the barber as a customer sat in the chair. >>> the new york city council is trying one more time to enact something called the mansion t

bill bratton, the new york city police commissioner, added street class to the mash-up, advising cruzrvey, almost two-thirds of the respondents agreed with donald trump and said some form of torture, waterboarding included, is justifiable. only 15% came out flatly against torture. more than half of those polled were in favor of the temporary ban on muslims entering the u.s., just as mr. trump suggested. interestingly, the results crossed party lines with 71% of republicans voting yes to trump's proposal, 34% democrats, and 49% independents. perhaps they've digested the nature of the beast, what winston churchill called the wild and merciless fanaticism. those who worry about civil rights, human rights, and privacy will have their say, but we're not likely to become a police state overnight if we take a ruthless approach to terrorism. political theorists obsess about the daily numbers of a horse race. for them, it could mean another job. public opinion, the demand for national security doesn't seem to matter. if anything, the results show that much of the country more than realized wha

that is where these things -- we also need to look at, and bill bratton, nypd chief, his legacy loomsge in policing in the united states, he launched the broken windows policing in los angeles under safer cities initiative. safer cities initiative then resulted in deployment of the most cops anywhere per capita per population in the united states. so in essence what is happening is now, that, increasingly while there have been legal battles as well, but as of even yesterday, the city is, just passed a large municipal code, 5611 where it is citywide, they would be -- going back to broken windows and safer cities initiative, in first two years of safer cities initiative, 18,000 tickets or 12,000 tickets issued to unhoused residents of los angeles which was basically jaywalking or urinating in public. so what is happening is, and i'm reminded of sb 1070, i make connections to the arizona law where the basic premise of the arizona law was attrition through enforcement. attrition through enforcement being in municipal codes you enforce these laws which you won't do it on the west side or i

back in 1994, with crime rampant, it was a younger bill bratton and then deputy jack maple who came up with com stat. enforce lesser crimes all to try to prevent bigger crimes. here bratton on hand and despite some spikes, he praised bronx commands for overall record low crime numbers. >> we have never had so few murders for a two-month period of time beginning in the year. >> we have cases on all those? >> after an intense few hours, both precinct commanders leave with new ideas. the 4-0. one new plan, to hit stolen cell phone fencing operations hard. >> the thinking is, if we could stop the location where these phones are being sold by the perpetrators, they'll be less inclined to steal them. won't make any money on them. >> 4-3. go after repeat offenders harder. >> i can have them on board to help us out in the prosecution of the case. the major take away from it, the follow through. >> following through here helps keep the streets safer here. in the south bronx, jonathan >>> more investigations means more answers. so if you have something you think the news 4 i-team should look int

. >> bill bratton is doing a good job. it doesn't mean it's perfect. >> dinkins is outraged by recent local cases of innocent civilians killed by police and disagrees with brooklyn district attorney ken thompson's recommendation not to imprison peter liang convicted of killing akai gurley in a dark housing stairwell. >> i think there should be a penalty that bee fits the crime. clinton defended d.a. thompson while campaigning in brooklyn. >> the d.a. in brooklyn actually brought a case and not a -- i think that shows he is focused on enforcing the law. >> mayor dinkins considers himself one of the hillary's biggest supporters. while he's fond of mayor bill de blasio who served in his administration and named the municipal building after him, dinkins says it was disloyal of de blasio to wait many months before endorse ing clinton for president. >> he should not have done that, especially since he had a relationship with her, running her campaign for the senate and whatnot. overall, bill's done a good job. it's difficult. th

police commissioner bill bratton said he's very concerned with the performance of the officers involved. >>> a new jersey woman seceshes reliving the pain of losing her mom after her mother's ashes were stolen. when her mother died in 2013 her remains were cremated. the ashes were placed in her jeep cherokee. overnight sunday the jeep was >> i miss my mom a lot. the pain is still there. that's my mother, that's the only thing i have left of my mother. >> she says she put the ashes in her suv to keep them away from her children. police say walker did not mention the ashes in her police report. >>> up next, spring gardening, how to repair your yard from damage caused during the winter. plus this. >> i thought it dropped down from the sky and it was a meteor. >> so many theories about the mysterious metal object found on a staten island beach, so what is this. >> but forest the cbs2 morning scores, carolina peats the rangers, 4-3. the islanders get a win over the blue jackets and 3-2. man: at that moment, it hit me -- this is why i joined the guard. i couldn't believe it. i just saved a li

as a result of the fbi probe police commissioner bill bratton immediately took away the guns and badges of four top level members of the department. they have all by stripped on their command and reassigned to desk duty. >> we're going to go wherever the investigation and facts and evidence take us. >> the public has an expectation of a high degree of police department. >> sources tell cbs2 that wiretaps on a businessman's phone revealed possible influence peddling involving as many as 20 cops. the officers are accused of receiving gifts, super bowl tickets and trips to las vegas. >>> it's 6:32, time for traffic and weather on the 2's. here's john. >> hi everybody, we have clear skies in the city right now. it's cool for this time of the year. numbers are going to stay below normal all weekend long. available at 5. a lot of folks have windchills in the 30s. hey, there's fun with math in the calendar. we'll talk about that later. passing snow shower north and west. we'll leave a 20% chance of a shower in your forecast today through midday, and then we see numbers below normal just in the

i had dinner last night with bill bratton and ricky and we talked a lot about security in new york andthere, jim is not caused by the different things to your consent. we are doing the same things here working on the issue. maria: what about go pro cameras? are you in favor for the police department? >> absolutely. i've been an advocate for that for years. i think when you look at how helpful cameras were turned pursuing the suspects were years ago, all the officers should have them. they should have the ability to turn them off and on when appropriate. but it does make a big difference no question. maria: commissioner, good to see you. thank you so much. >> go red sox. maria: he just got bad. now you know better. but stock market for a second. first-quarter earnings. ecb meeting thursday. oil prices down. what is your take, guys? >> and watching earnings. with pepsi, morgan family and the banks are very important. people want to see what the banks will report. morgan stanley similar to jpmorgan, they come in with better earnings. the banks with a beaten-down stature if they can rally

we do with the 1,000 muslim american police officers we have on the nypd, and the commissioner, bill brattonmuch experience in this area as anybody says ted cruz doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. [cheers and applause] >> so, look, i know some of these lines get big applause responses in these rallies that trump has, but stop and think. is that smart? does that work? does it help us? does it protect us? and the answer is no. and then he went even further and basically said he didn't care if more countries got nuclear weapons. we have been working, republicans and democrats alike, something that bob casey works on, to prevent more countries from getting nuclear weapons and having a free-for-all that brought more nuclear weapons into the world. so i'm telling you, i'm looking forward to debating them on the economy and i'm looking forward to debating them on national security because we're electing a commander-in-chief, as well as a president. [cheers and applause] so let me just close by saying this. i think one of the jobs of the next president has to take on is unifying our cou

i like bill bratton, but all i can say it's not all about the machine guns in front of penn station andppens. >> bo dietl, getting some backlash and setting the record straight. read more about it on foxandfriends.com. >> i don't care about the backlash. >>> another crushing blow for hillary clinton. is the inevitable nominee entering panic mode? tucker carlson is here and he took a shower and came right over. >>> somebody help her. charlize theron devastated, no one will hire her in hollywood because she's too beautiful. how dare she. how does she deal with all that? i take pictures of sunrises, but with my back pain i couldn't sleep and get up in time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. what aremaking a cake!ht now? ayla reminds me of like a master chef and emiana reminds me of like a monster chef. uh oh. i don't see cake, i just see mess. it's like awful. it feels like i am not actually cleaning it up what's that make mommy do?

[ laughter ] >> all politics is local, man. when i ran for congress i ran against a property tax increase in one of the counties. you beat them where they are. and if you are a republican in new york city you don't like bill de blasio. >> you don't like bill de blasio, but i don't know if that's going to translate into a -- just warm fuzzy turnout for ted cruz in the new york primary. i don't get where -- again, if you're going to come into this space, you have to know how to play here. new york is not like any other city where you can throw up ads like that and think they'll resonate with people and they'll go "oh, wow, that moves me to act." and i think that the cruz team has been off message from the very beginning of their soiree into new york city. >> you hav

so will we expect a bill de blasio press conference or commissioner bratton? another thing, too, a bit inconvenient to bill de blasio and commissioner bratton and the rest of the nypd leadership always siding with the criminals, i think i saw something a couple days ago showing new york city's murder rate at record lows. so i don't know if you heard -- >> boy, that mayor is doing a terrible job. >> i don't know about donald's speech but his line when he started talking about new york values blew the roof off of that convention center in bethpage. >> it was one of the best moments when he originally made the point, right when ted cruz made the new york values comment and it worked again last night. barnicle and i were watching those two events. donald trump could not possibly be more in his element than he was last night. those are his people. he's a new york guy, he's on long island, the accent got thicker on donald. they know him, he knows them. contrast that with ted cruz in the bronx where he was heckled at the restaurant. he went to a college prep academy i
