i'm brooke baldwin. inspired by isis and impatient to act, usaamah rahim, the knife-wielding boston terror suspect killed by police allegedly wanted to kill police himself. we have just now learned exactly how close he was to accomplishing that. a law enforcement official says the day rahim died he called his father to say, quoting this official his good-byes. a court document also indicates on the very day police say they were forced to shoot him, rahim spoke of going after quote/unquote boys in blue. the police commissioner in boston spoke today about how imminent a threat the joint terrorism task force really thought he was. >> we picked up information that he was heading out. obviously we knew he had access to three large knives. you know he talked about going out that morning, and that's why we wanted to get him before he even got on the bus on washington street because we didn't know what he was capable of doing. he could have acted out on that bus. >> now, before rahim targeted police the affidavi

i'm brooke baldwin. big day in washington because the united states supreme court saved obamacare and, in turn gave president obama arguably the biggest win of his presidency. let me just bottom line this for you. what happened today, it upholds federal tax credits for some 6.4 million americans who live in states without their own health exchanges. only the federal exchange. so without those credits, health insurance would have gotten more expensive for those folks, not to mention the fact that there would have been yet another political showdown to try and change the law, not to say that that won't happen. we'll get to that in a second. a couple of hours ago in the rose garden the president made it crystal clear that the affordable care act is here to stay. >> this is not an abstract thing anymore. this is not a set of political talking points. this is reality. we can see how it is working. this law is working exactly as it's supposed to. in many ways this law is working better than it's expected to. f

that's actually an excellent point, brooke. the one thing he did do is he did acknowledge hearing the names of the victims, hearing them testify and this is something he hadn't done. when we were in court over those ten weeks we kept saying there's no emotion. there's no emotion. why isn't he reacting to any of this powerful testimony? but he did acknowledge that he heard what the individuals said. he said he wished there could be more people testifying. he understood or he acknowledged their names and called them very good souls so it resonated, but, again, you have to -- you have to go a little bit deeper and i'm sure ashleigh can back me up on this. you don't know what the true motivation of a defendant is when they are being sentenced to death. is it because truly in their heart they feel this deep remorse or is it because it's something else? are they possibly thinking about an appeal. are they basically thinking maybe down the road you know with time a president can commute the death sentence. it's unknown but he did do w

>> well good afternoon, brooke. the white house is calling it all hypothetical but the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff is telling reporters they are looking at the possibility of sending additional troops repositioning troops to perhaps several locations in iraq. pentagon officials telling us maybe three or four locations, clearly one may be on the road to mosul, iraq's second largest city in northern iraq key area that iraqi forces want to liberate. why we sending more troops to iraq. we just talked about that. basic skills like demand and control. how to spend fresh splice of ammunition to troops in the field when they're in combat. the idea is if you put more troops out there, advisors all of this will go more smoothly. everyone will tell you the u.s. military needs to get their act together they need to establish well-trained troops get them some moral, weapons, supplies make sure they really believe in their government and that they believe their government is behind them. that is the key to solving this
