The two suspects suicide bombers at the airport, seen in security video, identified overnight as brothers khalid and ibrahim bakraoui, each wearing a inging inging a glove on one hand, investigators trying to figure out why. Transporting their suitcases to the airport in a taxi. The man with them identified as already many questions. How the men easily entered the airport, smoke, fear. Who placed the third bomb in Maelbeek Metro an hour later . Subway doors blown out, passengers escaping along the traps and echoing along the tunnels, screams. [ sirens ]. Reporter there are some answers. In schaerbeek, a makeshift bomb found. Ingredients for explosives and an isis flag. Nbc news learning authorities have found additional suitcase bombs.

Weve just crossed the border into belgium. No checks, no sign of police. If the suspects wants to escape to another part of europe, they may just drive. Missionaries from utah. And this couple, missing, their families say. This man was dropped off at the airport by a friend when the bombs went off. I saw this bright light, followed by a huge explosion. I was just stunned. Reporter this morning, he is wearing the same clothes. He left his bags behind when he fled in terror. The french Prime Minister this morning saying europe has closed its eyes to the rise of extremist ideas. They want to destroy our way of life. He says this has the potential to have a profound effect on the way folks in u. S. View europe. That may have already happened, keir. Thank you very much. Good to see you. As the hunt for more potential suspects intensifies and continues, what are we learning about the attackers who have been identified . And their suspected ties to bill neely is also in belgium. This e he has that part of the story. Good morning. Good morning. There are reports of an arrest close to here. Belgian media are quoting sources as saying it is the main surviving suspect from yesterdays attacks. But nbc news cannot confirm that. What we know here yesterday, in the suburb of schaerbeek, police raided an parptapartment over there and found explosive material and an isis flag, all of it part of an isis terror cell much bigger than police ever understood. Reporter brussels, the capital of europe, woke this morning to a man hunt after a massacre. This is the prime target, Najim Laachraoui, a 24yearold belgian who has already eluded police for months, escaping after the attacks in paris. He and the two bakraoui are seen here in the airport. They are wheeling their suitcases minutes before broing themselves blowing themselves up. They both had criminal records, one for shooting at police. Laachraoui, for some reason, didnt explode his bomb and escaped. The death toll here could have been higher. Police began gathering bags of debris from the attacks, searching for clues on how the bombs were made. They believe there may be a single bomb maker behind the attacks in both brussels and paris. Very alarming to find out how many people involved in this, and their ability to get ahold of or to make high explosives and to set them off in such a spectacular fashion. Reporter late yesterday, Police Helicopters and snipers honed in on a house in brussels where it was thought some of the men were based. They searched it, led to the address by a cabdriver, who had taken three men with heavy suitcases to the airport. Other arrests, but so far, no one has been charged as ofan accomplice. As Police Search for suspects, belgian troops are on the street, protecting key locations. Metro stations are open, but people are being searched as they go in. This is a nervous city. Reporter last week, Police Arrested salah abdeslam, who took part in the paris massacres, at a brussels apartment rented by one of yesterdays bombings. It is clear theyre all part of the same isis cell. Police suspect his arrest triggered their plans to attack brussels. Police were braced for some sort of attack, but not on this scale. This was clearly a massive intelligence failure. But if reports this morning are true, that someone has been arrested, this could be a break through in cracking open europes deadliest isis terror cell. Matt . Bill, it would be welcome news to a lot of people around bill neely, thank you very much. Now a chilling account of the attack at the airport in brussels. American jeff hoffman, a consultant for nato, lives here and was dropping off his girlfriend when the bombs went off. We talked to jeff yesterday. Happy to have you with us. How are you . Doing okay. A little shaken still . Yeah. I dont think itll go away any time soon. We talked yesterday. You were eloquent in describing what you went through, but i got the sense you were in shock a little bit yesterday. Have you come to terms with other emotions in the last 18 hours . You know, its funny, i dont think there has been too much to come to terms with. I think i woke up this morning, and it was okay, that happened. We were uninjured. We got out. Consequently, personally, i move on from that. All the what ifs and the other questions you can ask yourself, i really dont. Your boyfriend described dropping you off at that airport, standing inside the first blast went off. What do you remember about it . I think the last thing, the old normal, i guess, lady handed me my baggage tickets. I turned to look at him, and he smiled his little grin. Then i remember it was a whirlwind. It was almost like a tornado going off behind him. Stuff flying everywhere. That hit me. I felt it before i heard it. Going on. I didnt understand what was towards me. I thought, oh, an accident happened. I dont know. It was pretty clear after seeing the terror on his face, that that wasnt an accident. I have to say that watching the video is hard enough, but there have been portions of the video that weve listened to the audio of. Hearing the screaming, hearing one young child calling, mommy, mommy, mommy, were you aware of the sounds going on around you, as well . For me, after the first explosion, which i turned to, there was a lot of screaming. To filter through and hear specific sounds. The unsettling thing for me personally was after the second explosion, was dead silence. We talked about that yesterday. That was the most unnerving part. In an incident like that, you almost expect that you would hear Police Activity, people shouting. It was quite literally, if i can kind of compare it to anything, it was almost as if everyone was gone in a moment. As in, we were the people around us, i was crouched beside the counter and she was behind the counter, it was as if we were the only people left in the exposed in a way. I dont want to bring up a difficult subject, as if this all isnt difficult, but you were on your way home. Im assuming youre still now yeah. That would require going back flight. How do you feel about that . He says everything is going to be okay, so i want to believe him. I dont really ever want to set need to get home. Im going to do what i have to do. Its going to be difficult, but you have to be brave, i guess, be strong. I mean, im lucky enough to be able to go home and get to see my family. A lot of people arent that lucky. I try to keep telling myself that. Dont think youre going back to a terrible place. Its your catalyst to get home. Good way to look at it. Great to meet you. Nice to meet you. Good to talk to you again. Thank you so much. Lets go back to you, savannah. Matt, thank you so much. As you would expect at home, security is being stepped up at airports, train and subway stations across the country in response to what we saw happen in brussels yesterday. Pete williams is at Union Station in washington, d. C. This morning. The train station there. Pete, good morning. Savannah, good morning to you. Rail commuters across the country can expect to see more security on the ride to work this morning. Airline passengers will see it, too. It is a precaution. Officials say theres no similar attack here. Reporter on commuter trains and subway systems from washington to los angeles, police are out in a highly visible show of force. Beefed up security, too, in miami, chicago, and atlanta, with heavy armed foot patrols. More security, too, at many of the nations airports, especially in the outer lub, where the Airline Ticket counters are. Nationwide, specially trained units and bombsniffing dogs. Plain clothes officers, too, and search of bags. We want communities to feel confident that were here, were able to respond. We have enormous capability if we need it tactically. Reporter amtrak is adding police and randomly screening luggage as passengers board the trains. Its an aggressive presence in new york city, with 50 officers surging into times square. The mayor made a point of riding subway to demonstrate the safety. Expect to see extraordinary coming days, as a sign of our readiness to protect people at all times. Reporter new York Police Say protecting mass transit there is a big chore. We employ a lot of technology, and we pay very close attention and learn from attacks that have gone on around the world. We deploy and train accordingly. Reporter most commuters say theyre taking the extra security in stride. Ill be cautious and aware of my surroundings, but i also know i have a choice not to let it hold me back. Reporter train and subway riders and airport passengers will see more security for at least the next several days. And fbi agents are stepping up surveillance of terror suspects, looking for signs of copycat attacks at home. So far, Officials Say no sign of that. Savannah . Pete williams, thank you. General Michael Haden served as director of the cia. Good morning. Good morning. These attacks show we need to better prepared. What does that mean in practice . Is this country vulnerable . We are vulnerable, but not nearly as vulnerable as our european friends. There are a lot of things that are different. We have very good intelligence and security services. Its not a universal condition in europe. Were distant from the battlefields and, frankly, savannah, we are a different society. We assimilate immigrants better than our european friends do. The level of threat here is not zero, but its not nearly what it was yesterday in europe or, frankly, is today in europe. You mentioned the failures of intelligence. We now know that authorities are looking for the socalled man in white, a person by the name of Najim Laachraoui who, in fact, was being sought for the paris attacks. Does that ind koiticate theres been a breakdown in terms of Law Enforcement overseas . Obviously, there was a failure because the attack took place. It may be a question of limited anything else right now. Many of the services in europe are small. The Belgian Service is particularly small. Then, savannah, i have to add, theres been this grand debate over the last several years about the proper role of intelligence collection and individual privacy. The europeans have come down very strongly on the side of individual privacy, criticizing the United States. There was an interesting column in this mornings post, where it said the europeans are turning to the american intelligence for intelligence products. Even though they object to collection. We need to have that conversation over again with our european friends and, frankly, i think, make it a little more factbased than the conversation months. Very quickly, this all has taken place in the context of a president ial election here. You see proposals, particularly from donald trump, saying, lets all muslims. You have ted cruz coming out saying, maybe there should be patrols and securing of muslim neighborhoods. They say that Political Correctness, their words, made us less safe. Do you agree . I think we need to have an adult conversation about the role of islam and the civil war within islam. Savannah, the main point here is in the United States, we may have radicalized individuals. We do not have radicalized communities. We have it within our ability to create radicalized communities and some of the rhetoric in the president ial campaign trends us toward that great, great problem. General michael hayden, good to spend a few minutes with you. Thank you. Thank you. These attacks are reignited debate in the president ial race over the best ways to protect our country. Voters in three states were heading to the polls on tuesday, and the results are in. It was a split decision on the republican side. Donald trump upon big in arizona. He stopped ted cruz by more than cruz took it in utah, grabbing all 40 of that states delegates with a commanding victory there. Heres the overall count this morning. Trump with 744 delegates. 468 for cruz. John kasich behind. On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton took arizona. Bernie sanders won the two other states up for grabs, utah and idaho. Lets look at the democrat delegates. Clinton leads, 1,637 to Bernie Sanders 928. As we mentioned, all of the candidates have had a lot to say about the attacks in brussels. National security and how to best deal with the terror threat. Nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander is covering that angle of the story. Good morning to you. Good morning. First, a surprise announcement today. Jeb bush is endorsing ted cruz, in his words, to overcome the divisiveness of donald trump. This follows a day that focused reporter terror aprod followbroad followed by tough talk at home. You declare jihad in america, were coming after you. Reporter trump says police, in his words, patrol and secure muslim neighborhoods here in the u. S. Before they becomrade calizedcal ize become radicalized. We need to stop isolated communities from festering jihadism. Reporter the head of the nypd slamming cruzs comments. I take great offense at his characterization of that whole population. Reporter donald trump crediting cruz for a good idea. John kasich, more critical, warning against alienateing muslim americans, needed to combat terrorism. Just because you happen to be a muslim doesnt mean that you are a radicalized person that wants to destroy somebody in the west. Reporter the competing responses underscoring stark contrasts between the candidates. I would close up our borders to people until we figure out whats going on. To be to keep the internet out . You know, thats not the world we live in any longer. Reporter for the accused paris bomber and other terror suspects, trump embraced torture tactics. Waterboarding and more, he said. If they would have put him through the grill ten minutes after the capture, he probably would have ratted them out and maybe stopped this horrible terror attack. Reporter a new ad from an antitrump group that targeted mormon voters is turning heads. With, meet melania trump, your next first lady, to r youor you can support cruz on tuesday. Trump said, be careful or ill spill the beans on your ad. Cruz said if you attack heidi, youre more of a coward than i thought. Classless. The next faceoff is wisconsin, less than two weeks now. Peter alexander in washington, thank you very much. By the way, well be talking to well ask him about that a little later this morning. Lets turn to dylan, in for al. Well have a warmup on the east coast. Very nice warmup. Temperatures approaching 70 degrees in the northeast. Through the upper midwest, were talking about a winter storm.

Right now, police are investigating what led up to a murder in west charlotte. Cmpd says, just before nine last night, a man was shot and killed on westridge drive near freedom drive.

Its wednesday morning, march 23rd, 2016. Its the start of three days of National Mourning in belgium for the victims of the deadly terror attacks on Brussels Airport and subway system. Of course, the sadness and the questions will go on for much longer than that. Matt has made his way to brussels for us this morning, and i cant imagine that was an easy journey. Considering, matt, the transportation closures there, including the airport. Thats right, savannah and dylan and tamron. You cant fly into Brussels Airport. We flew into paris last night, landing early this morning and made the three or three and a half hour drive from paris down we saw a lot of Police Activity along the roadway. There are a couple toll plazas. We saw heavily Armed Police Officers checking traffic, mostly going away from brussels. Then there was one section of the road theyd closed down to one lane, and there were a lot of heavily armed police again actually looking into cars and stopping a few cars. I want to show you some of the newspapers out this morning. This one is the evening paper. It just says, tenir bon, meaning hang on. This one needs no translation. It just means, the horror. Its what people here are feeling, the horror of the attacks. Even as the Investigation Continues to go on, that is whats topping our headlines today. The men involved in that airport attack here, seen in this surveillance image, have been named overnight. The socalled man in white who fled, identified as 24yearold Najim Laachraoui. In last years paris attacks. Belgian media had reported he was arrested. Were starting to hear some people walk back those reports. Theyre not exactly sure if that has taken place. The two men he was with, the socalled suicide bombers, theyre the ones dressed in black, theyre brothers. Khalid and ibrahim bakraoui. Again, all now have been identified. Still unclear if that third person has been arrested. Savannah . Of course, we had an election yesterday in the president ial race. Hillary clinton and donald trump added to their leads. Ted cruz topped trump in the republican caucuses in utah, winning all the delegates there. Bernie sanders beat clinton in both utah and idaho. President obama arrived in argentina overnight. A twoday state visit is planned there. He wrapped up his historic trip to cuba. We see him there at the baseball game. Matt, back to you in brussels. Savannah, thank you very much. In brussels. And the tributes are pouring in for the victims. Reporter adele was at the airport heading to new york to visit her mother with her 3yearold daughters when the bombs went off, killing her and injuring her husband and one of the twins. Ruizs brother confirming his sisters death to a tv station and writing on facebook, its very complicated to describe this pain were feeling at home. My sister, adelma tapia, died in the attacks and wasnt able to survive the jihadist attack well never understand. Stephanie and jeff were at the airport with their mother, returning home to kentucky. Moore waived goodbye to them while going through a security checkpoint, when she was knocked off her feet by a blast. Dazed but uninjured, she tried to reach her daughter and soninlaw. My husband called the american embassy, and started looking for them, too. Reporter theyre still among the missing. Among the injured, sebastian, a belgian pro basketball player who played in the states. According to media reports, the 37yearold, 69 athlete, was thrown some 65 feet in the air by the explosion. He was l in the line at the counter to check in. Dropped him off, six minutes later, the bomb went off and he was within radius of it. I was told hell be fine. We dont know the extent of the injuries. Reporter two jet airways crew members were injured in the airport blasts. The Indian Embassy in belgium tweeting, theyre out of danger and being treated by embassy staff. Mason wells of utah suffered Second Degree burns and hit by shrapnel. Airport along with mormon missionaries, joseph empey, Richard Norby and fanny rachel clain. All are recovering. Mason was in paris when 130 people were killed in last years terror attacks. And also survived the Boston Marathon bombing. I think that experience of the chaos and civil unrest prepared mason for what he experienced today. Sadly, attacks like these have become a new and almost terrifying new normal here in europe. Nbc news analyst chisristopher dickey is the editor for the daily beast. You spent the last 24 hours here. I just arrived. They say there are stages of grief. What stage of grief would you say the people in brussels are in now . Well, id say close to not to denial but close to that. I think we saw this in paris, too. In the immediate aftermath, what you think is, its a horrible thats the most dangerous time. If there is another hit now, if there is another incident now, people are absolutely shattered. Even in paris, when it didnt come off, but there was another attack, when we heard one was being plan and had disrupted, it was a terrible shootout, i remember people were shattered. Requested . What questions need to be asked of the Intelligence Services here, of Law Enforcement here, of the politicians here . Well, first of all, belgium is a tremendously disorganized country. Went for almost two years without a government. It has multiple layers of belief. It tries to cooperate with the other services around europe, but it even has terrible difficulties with its internal operations. Its failed to integrate its Muslim Population well. Theres only 500,000 muslims here, but theyre not well integrated into this society. Those are all problems to solve. But theyre all problems that everyone has known about for a can you solve them now that this has happened . Probably not. Youve also talked to me personally and privately about, you know, several different manifestos that laid out almost this exact scenario years ago. More than ten years ago. The most important one for this is one that said, basically, europe is the soft underbelly of the west and he can hit europe and divide it. There is a large Muslim Population, and the population should not be able to choose it should have to choose between being on our side, the side of islam and terror, or the side of the europeans. He wants to eliminate the gray zone in between. He wants to force the contradictions in the society. Terror is the tool to do that. You see it happening. Results of the last six months would say were moving closer and closer to that reality. Sure. Christopher dickey, always good to see you. Thank you so much. Back to savannah in new york. We turn to dylan in for al, big weather story in the midwest. Yesterday in denver, it was 73. Today, theyre under a blizzard warning. We are going to see blizzardlike conditions. Not so much because of a ton of snow. We should see about 4 to 8 inches of snow. Its very, very windy. Its going to reduce visibility. This storm system is going to stretch into the Northern Plains and the upper midwest. Look at all of these winter storm warnings. Its a small band but includes Northern Iowa, southern minnesota and most of wisconsin. This is the area where we could end up with 12 to 16 inches of blowing sn today. Sunny. Highs in the upper 70s.

The terror attacks in brussels are highlighting the difficult of securing socalled soft targets. These are places that wouldbe attackers can enter easily and cause largescale devastation for civilian populations. Its a troubling scenario for Law Enforcement officials here in the u. S. Tom costello has been looking into this part of the story. Hes at a tsa security checkpoint at Reagan National airport. Good morning to you. Good morning. We all walk through soft targets every day. You could argue that this tsa checkpoint would be an attractive target to terrorists. By definition, soft targets are simply easy targets and not easy to defend. Reporter look around. Soft targets are everywhere. Busses, schools, hospitals, restaurants, shopping malls. Go freely y without significant security can be considered a soft target. Easy for terrorists to attack. If you have a determined terrorist, who is willing to give up their life, its almost impossible to prevent that across the board. Reporter weve seen it multiple times with devastating effect. London, 2005. 52 dead, 700 wounded after coordinated suicide attacks on the subway and bus systems. In paris last year, terrorists struck a theater, a restaurant and a kosher market, all soft targets. 130 killed, hundreds wounded. And in this country, a selfradicalized couple working out of their home shot and killed 14 people, wounding 21, at a holiday party. Police later found three pipe bombs and speculated the terrorists had planned more attacks. In democracy, there are certain places where, by definition, you need lots of people to go there. And you cant have checkpoints because you couldnt have the flow of people you need. Reporter in the attacks, security at airports worldwide has been beefed up this morning. Outside security screening areas, they can be as vulnerable as shopping malls. Airports are not built like castles. Theyre not built with security in mind. A lot are built for shopping. Transportation and shopping. Reporter experts say especially when it comes to soft targets, the public has to be extra vigilant, looking out for people who seem to be surveilling a location, gathering information about things like shift changes, and testing security with false alarms. It boils down, and this is a saying thats a cliche but i believe it, see something, say something. Its a cliche because since 9 11, weve been hearing it, for 15 years. Thats the danger. People wont do it anymore. That has been the most effective deterrent to stopping terrorist attacks. If you see something, say something. Savannah, back to you. It works. Ted cruz will join us to talk about his controversial recommendation in light of the brussels attacks. Well have that story right people think californians live in our own reality.

Coming up, evil has a name. Three suspects in the terror attacks in brussels identified overnight. The airport suicide bombers, brothers, the man in white, already wanted by police for his alleged ties to the paris attacks. As belgium pauses to remember the victims today, wednesday, march 23rd, 2016. Welcome back, everyone, to a split edition of today on a wednesday morning. Im matt lauer in brussels. We have savannah back in new york city. Good to seemorning to you. There are a number of developments in connection with the attacks. This morning were learning the airport in brussels will remain closed until at least tomorrow night, matt. Yeah, and thats not surprising, given all the damage we saw in that video over the last 24 hours. Sources also tell nbc news that the bombs used in that attack were made of amonemonium nitrate. They weighed 44 pounds each. The suicide bombers and the man who was with them, the one who got away, have been identified. Reporter europes most wanted man. There are conflicting reports from bellgian media and Najim Laachraoui has been arrested. The only accomplice from tuesdays attack believed to still be alive. A manhunt continues with a continent on edge. Late tuesday during a series of turned bomb factory, where the brussels attacks were believed to be planned. Containing additional explosives, chemicals and an isis flag. A cabdriver led authorities there also recognizing security images on the news. As laachraoui and that little and ibrahim bakraoui, identified overnight as brothers, as the passengers he took to the airport tuesday morning. He told authorities the three acted suspiciously and carried extremely heavy lullggage. They didnt want him to handle. After 8 00 a. M. On tuesday, two suitcase bombs exploded in the Brussels Airport, killing at least 11. According to authorities, the devices contained glass and nails. Xray of one of the wounded showing one nail embedded in his chest. An hour after those dual explosions at the airport, a Second Attack ripped through a brussels metro train at the and forcing passengers to evacuate through the systems smokefilled tunnels. Earlier today, i spoke with a witness to the metro attack. Its incredibly sad, when a city as great as this is scarred by these awful attacks. Reporter u. S. Intelligence Officials Say their working theory is this, the brussels attackers and paris massacre accomplice, salah abdeslam, are part of the same terror cell, linking brussels, paris and the attempted attack on a french train last august that was thwarted by american servicemen. One Senior Intelligence official said they picked up chatter on terrorist networks three or four weeks ago of an imminent attack somewhere in europe. Adding, it is possible that last fridays arrest of abdeslam could have thrown that plan into high gear, or that another attack could still be in the works. American evan lamis works in brussels. That was behind the one that was attacked by the terrorists, and took dramatic photos of the evacuation through a smokefilled tunnel. Nice to see you. Than x. Ks. You were in the train when you were reading about the attacks at the airport, right . I was on the way to work, checking the news, reading about the attacks at the airport. I was on the metro going toward the m a,albaalbeek station. We felt a blast of air, my ears popped and the blast went off at that point. Did the connection to the airport bombings cross your mind at all . It took a while for things to register. Every now and then, a metro will stop because of time problems, you know, a metro is a little too slow. At first, i thought it was a regular occurrence. The air blast i felt wasnt anything more than what you through the window or a fan. Then we heard some thudding in the distance. It really seemed far away. It really wasnt clear how close we were to the explosion. Were they making announcement announcements to explain why they stopped the train . What were you hearing . When the train stopped, they put an announcement over the sound system saying there was a disturbance on the line and they were going to work to resolve it as quickly as possible. It was a few minutes before someone came from the front of the metro to the back, which is where i was, they installed a ladder and had us evacuate on to the track. Smoke in the tunnel yet . There was smoke. Smoke started to come a little into the metro, as well. It wasnt difficult to breathe, but there was definitely smoke lingering in the air. As you got aboveground, you had to then start to understand what was going on. Were you seeing you were a stop away from maalbeck. Were you getting reports on your as we were exiting, i tried to figure out where it was going on. It seemed like it was in the distance. I first used my phone to try to contact a few family and friends, to let them know something was happening but i was okay for the moment. Then immediately checked the news, at which point, there was con firfirmation that there was an explosion and that it was an attack at maalbeek station. The lives of everyone living in this city have been changed forever. Can you foresee a day when you will comfortably go back on the metro system here and ride without constant fear . I think so. I mean, weve been under high security alert for some time. That had kind of become normal and part of everyday life here. I think life will eventually go on. You have to get used to things as they are. I think its good to trust the authorities, to the extent that we can, about what to do to be safe. Life will go back to normal eventually. Im sure ill take the metro to work once its running fully again. You gotten on the train, youd have a different story this morning. Im happy youre okay. Thanks. Thank you so much. Not only evan but some of the other people weve spoken to, lucky to be able to tell their stories. 31 people confirmed dead in the attacks. That does it for us from brussels this morning. Of course, well keep posted and keep you posted on any developments on this investigation. Savannah, back to you. Matt, thank you and stay safe.

Hi picked up a crucial win in utah overnight. This morning, got a major endorsement from his onetime rival, jeb bush. Hes also facing some criticism over comments he made in response to the terror attacks in brussels. Senator cruz, good morning. Good to have you with us. Great to be with you. Normally i start an interview like this after you won a victory in utah saying congratulations. And i do. Thank you. You picked up an endorsement. Given whats happening in brussels, lets start there and talk about that. Let me start where we just mentioned, you said yesterday in a Facebook Post that we need to empower Law Enforcement to patrol and secure muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized. How would you describe a muslim neighborhood . Is there a percentage of muslims that have to live there . Do you have to have suspicion theyre being radicalized, or is it the mere fact theyre Police Officers should be securing and patrolling those areas . Well, lets start out with what happened in brussels yesterday. All of us, our thoughts, our prayers are with those who were murdered, those who were injured. Yesterday, i think, reminded everyone, really underscored, that we are facing a war. It is not this was not an isolated lone wolf. This was not an isolated incident. Radical islamic terrorism, isis has declared jihad on the United States of america. No question about that. I guess the issue this morning is the response and trying to understand what it is youre recommending. Ill point out, you say theres no question about that. Ill tell you who disagrees with you. Barack obama. Hillary clinton. The entire Obama Administration refuses to utter the words, Islamic Radical terrorists. This administration is mired in Political Correctness and wont acknowledge this threat. Enforcement, proactive Law Enforcement. You know here in new york city, under mayor bloomberg, there was a proactive policing program, to work cooperatively with the Muslim Community to prevent radicalization. To target and find out who may be affiliated with radical islamic terrorism, who may be becoming radicalized and stop terror attacks before they occur. Mayor de blasio, in an example of Political Correctness, defit befitting of obama and Hillary Clinton, said we wont the program has been a former supervisor of the program said in six years, it never led to one piece of a conviction. In fact, the supervisor was quoted as saying that it involved paying undercover officers to sit in cafes frequented by muslims, drinking you need a concerted focus on stopping it. For example, if you have a problem with Gang Violence, you target the neighborhoods where Gang Violence is prevalent. You work to root out the gang members. Would you then for example, youre saying, Gang Violence, you look, where is there Gang Violence, and well patrol those neighborhoods. When you talk about patrolling muslim neighborhoods, would you require suspicion before you patrol the neighborhood . Im talking about focusing Law Enforcement and National Security resources on areas, on locations where there is a higher incidence of radical islamic terrorism. One of the tragic reasons we saw this yesterday in brussels is europes failed immigration laws allowed vast numbers of radical europe. I have to ask you about a series of tweets between you and donald trump last night. He criticized you, falsely i that featured his wife melania in gq magazine in a state of undress. Then he added, you should lay off his wife, and if not, hes going to spill the beans on your wife. It seems like a threat against way. Trump. When hes unhappy, when hes scared, he lashes out. Curses. He threatens people. Donald is a bully. I told him last night, dont you try to attack my wife. Donald is unhappy that he got clobbered last night in utah. Wasnt even close. He lost by 69 . Utah was now the tenth state where weve beaten donald trump. What does he do . Tries to change the subject. The way he tries to change the subject is by lashing out and attacking my wife. Im not going to stoop to that level. Youre not responsible for the ad that featured melania trump, but do you think its inappropriate . Donald is trying to threaten my wife, speaks volumes about character. Senator cruz, good to have you with us. Thank you. Dylan is in for al. Over to you. Thanks. We are going to see a round of stronger storms develop later tonight. We have this area right in through st. Louis, down through little rock and stretching to northeastern texas, where we could see strong storms with hail, damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes.

We are going to see that spread east as we go into tomorrow. On thursday, our best chance of stronger storms includes most of central tennessee, stretching down to alabama. Same threats.
