they are city a mayor bill de blasio speaking there just right before we came on air and speaking at a campaign event former secretary of state hillary clinton gave her reaction to today's event take a listen. we are fine thanks to the men and women of the secret service . who intercepted. the package addressed to us long before it made its way to our home every day we are grateful for their service and commitment and obviously never say never more than today. but it is a troubling time isn't it. and it's a time of deep. divisions. and we have to do everything we can to bring our country together. former secretary of state hillary clinton reacting there and we can go now to washington and new york city for the latest interview stuff and a simmons is in d.c. and in manhattan correspondent james ronald is standing by want to start off with you james there you have some new reporting from new york. yes exactly as you can see i'm right in front of the time warner building that's the building where the bomb was found this morning and has been evacuated you can probably hear the thought i

i was actually i'm mad bill de blasio i think was the first official to come out and say this was an act of terrorism and that's important because this signifies the seriousness and also define the type of issue that we're dealing with type of crime in the type of investigation that has to follow but clearly this was a political act and it was designed to make people scared and if something fits the classic definition of terrorism then that is it we can say at the political act because of the people who have been targeted liberal democrat politicians i don't you going to have liberal values also as you say there has been an increasing focus on the president himself there's been a comment from de blasio also a republican senator by the name of jeff flake evils here outside on fifty eighth street outside the c.n.n. building making the same kind of these claims but perhaps there is a link between president donald trump the kinds of statements that he state about he said about journalists about whether or not john that the spread of the fake news and whether or not they should be liable

we're expecting a brief from new york city's mayor bill de blasio. cnn's poppy harlow and jim sciuto are on the scene, they were on air when they had to evacuate in the time-warner center because of the bomb scare. we also have cnn crime and justice reporter tisimone with . let's start with jim and poppy, tell us, jim, about the scene, what happened, and when you were told you had to evacuate and what you were told? >> reporter: well, i tell you, jake, it's remarkable to have been on the air discussing a state of explosive devices sent a around the country, we were discussing the obama residence, the clinton residence, a day or two ago, the soros residence. we heard a fire alarm and my first reaction when i hear a fire alarm, is this just a drill, can we ignore it and keep doing our job. but it became very clear as all of our colleagues flooded out of the building, that this is one we better listen to. and walked out of the building with everybody else. and we're met immediately with that tremendous and immediate new york police department response,s

and sensitive to possibly encouraging and stimulating violent acts i completely agree with de blasio as failure to suggest that government should actually punish or give it speech so yes we'll exercise our free speech rights to choose our words carefully to condemn those who are not so careful in their speech but we would not warrant we would not justify censoring those expressions now we should just state of course that we don't know what is behind these packages we don't know who might be responsible when you don't know what might have inspired him or her so it mean that this point there's a lot that we don't know but i suppose a lot of people would be looking if they were to blame some of the language that donald trump uses they would be looking for an explicit link what kind of shape could that link take what would convince you for example that something wasn't the inspired by comments the president had made it's certainly possible that something could be in urge but it's really important to draw the line between her chair acted even in advocacy of violence is protected in our co

this is coming from mayor de blasio. this is new york city new york city.t's a part of who we are. we refuse to let this get us. the situation on the scene right now is that there is a police officer standing right next to me, n.y.p.d. probably over 300 new york police department officers around this area. right now at the moment the only street completely blocked off his 58th right behind me. however, the traffic is quite tremendous because you have all of the police cars lining up well below 57th street on eighth avenue. what you see right now is big, dark suv. the entire area is very, very hard to get through. you still have a lot of people obstructed sidewalks and that's the latest we are hearing. i am at the cnn headquarters at columbus circle. connell: thank you, kristina partsinevelos live for us. the market has started filling up again. we reported earlier that as these reports of suspicious packages were coming in from this area around the country, washington d.c., home of former president obama in addition to the clintons in chappaqua, florida, ed

new york mayor bill de blasio calling it an act of terror. vice president mike pence tweeting, "these cowardly actions are despicable and have no place in thi country." and president trump also weighing in from his rally in wisconsin last night. nbc's tracie potts has the citest from washington. hey, t good morning. >> good morning. at this rally the president avoided partisan attacks and focused on the investigation of these pipe bombs and how and from whom they were sent. here's the presidentast night. >> any acts or threats of political violence are an attack on our democracy itself. the media also has aty responsibio set a civil tone and to stop thendless hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attac and stories. >> reporter: those packages were mailed torr president barack obama, to hillary clinton. she was not home. she was in florida at the time. to congresswoman maxine waters and other high-profile democrats, many of whom have been publicly and frequently crital of president trump. the device to brennan as you noted went

the nypd and mayor de blasio, they don't have any such come punctuals. they say these devices were intended to terrorize. >> i would agree with the mayor. i personally don't think that there's an international implication here. that's obviously something that has to be run down. i think this is pretty clearly a domestic thing. unless there is a situation where it's, you know, possibly explained because of a mental illness or something like that. but to me, this is a domestic terrorism. >> individuals like john brennan, to whom the package that was mailed to cnn was addressed, oddly, because he does not work for us. but individuals like brennan and you, you don't get secret service protection, even though you're both high-profile. you had it when you worked as director of national intelligence. brennan had it when he was head of the cia. you're both outspoken. do events like this today make you concerned about your safety or the safety of your former colleagues, like brennan or lisa monaco? >> well, yeah. and, you know, it extends to, you know, kind of a

you hear mayor de blasio say that, but as a new york citizen, as i walk around the synagogues and mice in in my area they do have guards. i don't want to say they have to have them. where does this go? >> josh: boy, listening to the rabbi -- the sadness in his voice. that's hard to process. i think where i come down on this, honestly, is each congregation should have the opportunity to defend itself how it sees fit. the idea that the government is mandating that we either have security guards armed inside or not, or in the case of mayor de blasio, banning weapons from being in a congregation. i think that's the wrong answer. i think the right answer is each congregation needs to do what they think is in the best interest of themselves. >> we had alan dershowitz on this weekend, he says he goes through metal detector when he goes to his temple. it is already happening, as you said. this weekend in birmingham, alabama, there was a mcdonald's -- a customer came in, saw a guard, shot and killed the guy. by the way, the customer was shot and one of his sons that was with him was shot. the e

new york city mayor bill de blasio has also called for a city probe. democratic senator ron wyden has urged the irs to investigate the president. "the times" revealed trump inherited much of his family's wealth through tax dodges and outright fraud, receiving at least $413 million in inflation-adjusted dollars from his father's real estate empire. "the times'" 13,000-word investigative report found the late fred and mary trump transferred more than $1 billion in wealth to their children, and much of it to donald trump, paying less than 5% of the $550 million in taxes they should have under inheritance tax rates. as part of a scheme to reduce taxes, donald trump also helped his parents undervalue real estate holdings by hundreds of millions of dollars in irs tax returns. amy: "the new york times" also reports trump earned $200,000 a year in today's dollars from his parents' companies beginning at the age of three, with a salary that increased to $1 million a year after trump graduated college, and to $5 million a year when trump was in his forties. over

the mayor of new york city bill de blasio joining us now. you tell us about what happened downtown? we know that the disposal unit has taken that bomb away up to the bronx. the target, apparently, robert de niro, his restaurant, his offices, his complex down there in tribeca. >> thank god nobody got hurt. the devisit of a removed successfully. it looks exactly consistent with what we've seen with the other device. someone is trying to intimidate, quash voices in the country using violence or some group of people. and what's very important to be, while we're getting to the root cause in this whole discussion of why we have an atmosphere of hatred in this country is to look at something very positive yesterday which is the reaction of the people of this city who were not intimidated, not thrown off their game did not allow this to undermine their faith in their society. they saw first responders address this immediately. we got a lot of information out there so people knew what was going on. but it's something that always gives me hope. people

new york city a mayor bill de blasio speaking just moments ago and we are expecting u.s. president donald trump to give a statement any moment and now you see yvonne got trump there walking into the room he's not there but we'll keep you posted first off let's take you now to washington and new york stefan simmons is in d.c. and in manhattan we have our correspondent james or i know who is at the scene outside the time warner center james want to go first to you you have some new reporting that you want to share with us yes well of course the silence is still going off into mentally here at the time warner stand and the police still out in polls but there is a degree of normality returning to the columbus circle area the shopping mall here which is part of the building complex which was evacuated earlier today because of the bombs down three open shop with the coming and going some of the streets in this area including fifty eighth street i'm one of the moment it's been reopened to pedestrians although occasionally it's being as it's being allowed the chemical weapons tru

yes, bill de blasio describing this as an act of terror and the white house statement initially fromcribed it as despicable, terrorising acts and we are expected to hear from the terrorising acts and we are expected to hearfrom the president. he said he wholeheartedly agreed with the statement the vice president mike pence said, describing this as cowardly act. there has been criticism in the heightened and highly charged political climate right now, some of the rhetoric of the president himself has made this political climate even more toxic and even more aggressive. he holds these almost daily rallies where chanting of lock her up against hillary clinton have been a feature. he has singled out george soros for criticism and he has been critical of other democrats and people are saying, that more civility has to become a feature of american politics and it has become too aggressive. more civility could be used on both sides of the atlantic, i think, at the moment. we do live ina i think, at the moment. we do live in a divided time. but these devices have prompted criticism across th

mayor de blasio, members of the nypd and the fire department in new york. this is via my colleague mark morales. so that will be a briefing in about an hour in this vicinity. this part of the block is still shut down, you can see a number of nypd officials. we notice the containment truck is now gone. we continue to see bomb sniffing dogs, sniffing the vehicles on this block. and we also got a tweet from the new york city police department commissioner, explaining who all is on the scene. i mentioned that jon miller is the counter terrorism and intelligence investigations for nypd, we saw him arrive here earlier. we know that the nypd special operations team is here, all of them investigating the circumstances here. and let's remind our viewers where we are, we're in midtown manhattan, a major transit point that is now shut down as a crowd of onlookers and news cameras arrive. and we're standing next to time-warner center, which has been entirely evacuated. this is not just a building that houses cnn, cmt and turner, it also houses dozens of shops, there's

terrorism act or terrorist act there's a good point in it james i'll take it to you in new york mayor de blasio he said there was new delhi that what happened today was an act of terror we know that the time warner building was evacuated earlier what do things look like on the ground. now. i'm right in front of the time what a building the building that you say accurately was evacuated the pipe bomb explosive device was discovered about ten am this morning i mean of course there's been scenes of alarm and confusion here in new york since then and with still hearing occasional sirens of police and fire trucks were occasionally saying for example chemical weapons came coming in at the secret service and on the branches of the security service to do what is being described as a full scope investigation into not just this attack but also the other attacks and the polish the country as i say things are becoming normal slightly here the shopping mall which is called the time warner center which is just over there that has reopened and shop as a coming and going and doing that business is a very very

then he realized the maniac is bill de blasio. he is screaming. your headaches. joke is on you. you should have complained the moment de blasio got on you should have said shut up. when everyone looks the other way, in congress, on-campus come in the media maybe it's once time to share the risk. might be the only defense we have left. jesse, they said clapping makes the up with autism nervous. i think there was a strategy to use a real issue to camouflage a silly idea. if clapping makes artistic or any anxious people nervous, it would be harmful to keep them from becoming accustomed to it. what if they want to go to a soccer game or a rock concert. they can't because they wouldn't be used took clapping. this is absurd. >> jesse: are you sure this isn't an onion article? >> greg: i double checked. i should check with the producers. >> jesse: clapping isn't really for the people clapping. it's the person performing. for instance, myself. when i am on stage, i need the clapping to know if my jokes are landing, to know if i have the audience on my side. i need the af

and bill de blasio, the mayor of new york is saying we are going to step up every effort to counter thisffort to counter this, it is an effort to counter this, it is an effort to terrorise, we will not allow terrorism to change us. it will play on the minds of those in the run—up to the mid—term elections in on many levels, in terms of where they have come to in the us when it comes to politics and how toxic, many would argue, it has become since the last election. right, although i would actually go back before the last election because yeah, ithink before the last election because yeah, i think it is almost a mistake to be so distracted by trump, although he has done more than his fairshare to although he has done more than his fair share to cause deterioration in the tone in us politics. but the reality is that people on both sides of the aisle for a long time had been on this downward glide path and i think that the problem is that kind of political rhetoric does sometimes have consequences and sometimes have consequences and sometimes very serious consequences. 0k, sometimes very se

i think de blasio had a look to blame the victim.ions that face a lot of hate like the jewish community they might decide and talk about do we want an armed guard or do we like something like this and seem a little less welcoming or feel a little bit more safe? for the president to mention it in his first remarks about this tragedy was really shocking and it made no sense at all and it did seem like he was saying if they had an armed guard they have been okay. that is not the reaction we should be having. we should be having this is a terrible tragedy. the shooter is the one to blame and let's wait and find out what his motives were and what led him to commit such a terrible act. >> i don't know that the president was blaming the victim in this case so much. we need to be very clear about that. >> right. >> he did not say it was their fault. >> no, of course. >> when we look at this area we are as close to mid terms as we are, how much do you think this conversation now with what we have seen in the last 72 hours is going to drive wh

but when he starts talking about armed guards, new york mayor bill de blasio did not take kindly to thatt's listen to what he said. >> we should never blame the victims in an attack like this. we should never suggest that a house of worship has to have an armed guard for people to be able to go about their religious observance. that is not america. that is certainly not new york city. we do not require houses of worship to have an armed guard. >> reporter: for clarity, the president didn't -- as far as we can tell -- blame the victims. are armed guards an option? >> i would disagree with you there, i have to say. that sounded a lot like blaming the victim. if only they had an armed guard. that is a nonstarter particularly in new york city. i special in synagogues. a friend who is bar mitzvah and he is and out of synagogues. you don't have to have an armed guard all over the place. as a practical matter, i think we now know, just from the accounts that we have received so far, that even when fully armed, highly trained police officers responded, four of them were shot. so the suggestion t

these incidents are being treated as acts of terror, the told -- mayor de blasio reporters that this is a painful time in our nation, there is a lot of hatred in the air. people, wee a few don't know who they are today, but they are trying to tear us apart through acts of violence. it is imperative that we ensure that they fail. it is imperative that we act as a good and decent people. this is a moment in history that is painful but it will pass. this too shall pass. the governor adds that terrorism only works if you let it work, what they are trying to do is scare us and destabilize us. throne inbehind the saudi arabia is calling the killing of jamaal kush of the aa heinous crime. it has been suggested that the his deathce ordered in turkey. he said that the criminals responsible for the killing will be presented to the courts. the crown prince also said that -- between the saudis and the turks. japanese prime minister shinzo abe is promising to increase cooperation between japan and china. he says both countries are responsible for the region's peace and prosperity. global news, 24

here's new york city mayor bill de blasio addressing reporters. >> this clearly is an act of terror,empting to under mine our free press and leaders of this country through acts of violence. i want to make very clear that the people of new york city will not be intimidated. >> it was also confirmed last night that a second device addressed to congresswoman maxine waters was found at a mail facility in los angeles. earlier in the day it was discovered at a maryland mail facility. the devices were made of pvc pipe and contained a timer and powder from pyrotechnics. x-rays provided to nbc news from law enforcement officials also indicate that the devices likely contained shrapnel. a law enforcement official says the device addressed to john brennan appears to obtain a parody image with an isis flag reading get her done. the president addressed yesterday's events briefly at a previously scheduled event on opioids. take a listen. >> the packages are being inspected by top explosive experts and a major federal investigation is now underway. the full weight of our government is being deploy

we just received word that about four hours from now roughly, the fbi, nypd, mayor de blasio, they'rebe holding a news conference to give us the very latest on the investigation. so far ten packages discovered, two discovered today addressed to vice president joe biden. a third addressed to actor robert de niro. all of them similar to the ones that were discovered on wednesday. tom winter is with me now. investigations reporter. what more do we know? what have we learned, if anything, so far from the devices, and what are we hearing about the hunt for the person or people responsible? >> sure, i think at this point there's no indication that we've been given that there's a particular person or persons that they're looking at, but often, you know, we don't get that information the second that they key in on somebody. we'll have to see how that develops. the second thing is i think the key today is going to be the bombs. why didn't they go off? were they meant to have all the components, which we've been told they do have all the components to be an explosive, and then designed not to g

it was mayor de blasio, who at the beginning of that press conference saying this is terrorism, this is an effort to terrorize. he said notably, jim, it starts at the top. >> that was the new york commissioner of police o'neal saying very explicitly, don't encourage attacks on the media, that contributes, he said to choices people are making, there's no question about it. that's quite a reprimand you might call it from the commissioner of police in new york to the kind of rhetoric that we hear in public, not just the media, in the targets, but public officials and so on and that's a law enforcement official who they cakes these t very seriously and no police department in the country knows that better than the new york police department. >> and it is not a partisan comment. he is saving the facts. you look at the facts of who, to what entities and what people these explosive devices were sent to in the last 36 hours, and then you look at from the governor to the mayor of new york city to the police commissioner saying this is the world we live in, this is the tone and the tone and th

what would -- de blasio says they're going to look under every stone. what would that look like?s what we heard described, which is to see if you can build a fraud case out of what "the new york times" has revealed. it seems easy when you read the seriousness of the allegations, but tax fraud is actually harder to charge. you have to show not only that the person tried to avoid paying taxes, everyone is allowed to avoid paying taxes, and not even that they thought it might have broken the law, possibly. you have to show real intent to violate the tax law, knowing exactly what you're doing, and to prove that for something that happened so long ago, even with the very powerful evidence in the "times," it's a hard case to make. the other thing that they could do would be to try to use this as part of a larger investigation into the president's more recent tax returns, including the investigation that's already being conducted into the trump foundation. >> so, what do you think the chances are, then, that they recoup any money? >> i think based on "new york times" allegations, it wou

time when people are feeling a lot of hatred in the air in addition to new york city mayor bill de blasio we have heard from the n.y.p.d. as counterterrorism chief and he has confirmed that four of the explosive devices that arrived in suspicious packages seem to have the same source the devices that were sent to barack obama and to the home of hillary and bill clinton the device that was detonated on monday at the home of billionaire george soros and the device that was found at c.n.n. headquarters all seem to have the exact same source they seem to have come from the same person the device was capable of going off these are pipe bomb like explosives now we're also hearing at that at this point in addition to the package containing the explosive there's also been a package containing suspicious white powder discovered at the c.n.n. headquarters explosive devices had to have projectiles and that's or. excuse me that sounds like a fire alarm here we'll keep you posted on that they didn't tell. me and back you laid it the lights were turned out and as we got out in the end the much we both

mayor de blasio susan amo yesterday he established an advisory commission to develop recommendations to an on the city's taxinform the property system. the goal is to make it f more, simpler, and transparent while ensuring there is no production revenue used to to find potential city services. guest: that is a good question. new york has traditionally had very large property tax burdens, across the entire state , not just in the city. there is a relatively new that we foundap in our index is actually starting to do some work. it has slowed the growth in property tax collections within the state. one of the bigger problems in new york is not necessarily what is going on in the city but how a texas and that, in many ways has been structured around the newomic activity around york city impacts those in the state. when we talk to those in the state, this is the number one concern. it contains governor andrew cuomo did was look at a corporate tax reform that was the state moree business friendly, particularly with upstate in mind. if you were a sea corporate crm, therefore waterways -- co
