new york city. some of the ones specifically was the attack on union square station. the guy who was coming from denver with all the cleaning supplies was looking to blow up new york city. these are things that the joint terrorist task force, the fbi, and the nypd working in correlation with each other have stopped over the years. our leadership has to stop worrying about being politically correct and cow tailing to special interest groups and worrying about their responsibility which is to protect the american people. finally the question that i always feel whenever i see this type of thing happen is are we less safe now because of this move, yes or no? i believe we are now. not yesterday. don t know. that s frightening. hopefully the answer is. no we shall see. gentlemen, thanks very much for joining us today. we appreciate it. you are welcome. mover the clinton files exposed. one email did not make the cut. it was from, we all know who that is. miss monica lieu ebb
we were not aware of that. would you have liked to have known about that? yes. joining us now from capitol hill is republican congressman michael mccaul of texas, he chairs the house homeland security committee. chairman mccaul, thank you for being on the program. thanks. joining the panel now, senior fellow at the center on budget policy and priorities and msnbc contributor, jared bernstein. something i found fascinating and watching this hearing was that the boston police had three detectives, part of the joint terrorist task force, and the fbi never once mentioned to them that they had had a file on tamerlan, concerned about his activities. after we created the homeland security department after 9/11, how is that possible? what did we miss here? i think that was the most disturbing thing about the testimony. i heard today when i asked him questions about, you know, you had boston police department
judge jeanine: they told us evacuees. they didn t have to call us once. they didn t have to call us twice. if we had any sense is of intelligence we would have is understood this guy is traveling there. he comes back and he is on the radical videos. the youtube video that he is posting for all of the world to see. after the fact. judge jeanine: and then janet napolitano comes out. do we have a full screen. she comes out and says something like when we came back the fbi alert on him was more than a year old and it expired. what? the two primary watch lists are passive. not no-fly zones. the information that was available, because remember he gets radicalized over a period of time. all that review and investigation happened before he went over and spent six months undoubtedly receiving training. judge jeanine: he went to that country and came back why didn t something tick? it did. at the was pinged and it was reported to the joint terrorist task force to an individual there.
brian: this morning we know exactly who knew what about the boston bombers and why the information went nowhere. details i find frustrating. maybe you do, too. joining us, the man in charge of finding out what happened, former f.b.i. guy, congressman mike rogers. chairman, we found out a customs agent was alert did alert someone in the joint terrorist task force in the new england area that tamerlan came back from russia. but that information never got to the f.b.i why? well, we re still looking at that. that information didn t get circulated, at least to the best of our knowledge today. we have some questions about why that would be. i will say in that agent s defense, travel alone isn t a derogatory bit of information. now, you would have hoped that
is actively investigating to determine dzhokhar s movements in new york city, as well as who he might have been with here. new york city detectives and supervisors assigned to the joint terrorist task force with the fbi are assisting in the ongoing investigation in both boston and new york. there s no evidence at this time, however, to indicate that new york city is currently a target of another terrorist attack stemming from the boston bombings. mr. mayor? i ll be happy to take a question or two. yes, sir? please identify yourself. dave, new york post. commissioner, you said they decided to do this spontaneously. meaning that they had no plan before to come to new york, they just decided on the spot? that s what we believe now. in the car they made a decision
