from mike mccall. clearly there are indications in this journal that was found on ahmad khan rahami's person, if you will, when he was arrested, that would indicate at least some sort of inspiration from al qaeda? >> yes. at least inspiration. and when he talks about hearing the bombs, maybe more. what you have definitely in the least is a man that was burning with jihadist anger against a country that granted his citizenship and gave he and his family so much. despite all that, having a job, getting things taken care of for him in new york city because of this depth of radicalization he desperately wanted to kill americans. whether it lasted a long time or was a change at the end is something that's a larger problem in the future. but important for us to look at this calmly, to react, to find out what tools law enforcement need to defeat terrorism in their home ground, ultimately as americans we cannot let this shake the foundation of who we are. because we are the most powerful country in the world a

you have people like mike mccall saying stwhiel a threat, the concern is the threat here at home, listen i was briefed on the new york intelligence, and they're saying less and less come to syria, now they're saying stay where you are and kill where you are. this is disturbing from the ohm land security standpoint because more and more of the individuals will most likely try to conduct acts of terrorism here in the united states. >> on the threat that we in this case now, it is very dynamic and it will change. we always tried to adjust our tactics and procedures. nothing more important than protecting the citizens of this country. it is difficult at times in identifying people, 100%, as they migrate and move, and they will have to continue to look. fortunately perhaps at times mistakes expose vulnerabilities. >> mike, you know people at home right now are really concerns and worried watching everything going on around them. in your opinion, what is the number one thing we should be doing right now better today? >> i still think it is doing counter network operations in the counter terror

we have something new today from congressman mike mccall, chairman of the house homeland committee. journal found on rahami when he was arrested in new jersey. for the first time we heard the mention of isis. the criminal complaints and the u.s. attorney mentioned the government said rahami made references, glowing references to osama bin laden and anwar al-awlaki. referred to past events inspired by al qaeda and anwar al-awlaki. there are references to the top isis propaganda. that's the first time we heard there may have been isis influence here, too. i guess it's not surprising. we have seen in some of the recent attacks a blend of interest in both al qaeda and isis. john miller who is the counter terrorism chief for the new york police department was with congressman mccall. he said this may be a case where it is isis-inspired as well as al qaeda-inspired. that was a new piece of information we heard today that he was also apparently aware of isis propaganda. >> what does that tell you? >> rahami was aware of it. >> so how does that play into a potential investigation moving for
