May be on alert like never before from the iconic landmarks of new york and washington to the smallest cities and even state parks, security is ramped up. The reason the surge of isis in the past year and the online recruiting that could unleash a homegrown terrorist. Cnns Boris Sanchez live for us in morning at new yorks penn statement. Boris boris, i understand we have really a new update in in terms of new york state. Reporter thats right, poppy. The governor announcing some specific adjustments to Law Enforcement here in the city. As you can imagine, there are 42 Million People traveling, so theyre really doing a fullcourt press across the nation focusing on hubs like penn station. Here in new york weve seen an added presence of Law Enforcement across the area. Weve also heard about snipers placed in strategic locations as well as spotters fanned out across the city to watch crowds. We also know that teams are scanning for explosives and radioactive devices in the sea and in the air. There are also about 7,000 cameras in the city monitoring everyone and officers tell us they have to be ready for any kind of attack at any time anywhere. The isis call as well as that of other terrorist groups has been to use what you have on hand and that means if you can make a bomb youre a bomber but if you cant, use a gun. And if you cant find a gun, use a knife and if you cant find a knife, use a car. So when we look at that that is a Broad Spectrum of threats, and its something to prepare for. Reporter officers tell us these measures are not because of any specific threats, just out of an abundance of caution and, poppy, you mentioned the announcement from governor cuomo. Hes added staff to the office of Emergency Management here in the city as well as beefing up patrols. Theyre also asking new yorkers to be vigilant. If you see anything out of place, please report it to Law Enforcement anyway. Boris, thank you very much. I want to go now to sun lishgthe white house. They had a trial run at the navy yard all those security elements responding. What are they doing there in washington specifically at the white house . Reporter well poppy, there is definitely some increased security jitters here just this morning at the white house just a few minutes ago the secret service cleared pennsylvania avenue cleared Lafayette Park right in front of the white house where a lot of tourists usually mill about. That situation is over just in the last moment tourists allowed to come back up to the white house fence but this sort of jittery Security Response how quickly they are responding to these sorts of potential threats underscores how on edge a lot of Law Enforcement is around the security threat. We know that response was the same yesterday with the u. S. Navy yard. It was fast it was fierce hundreds of Police Coming on the scene and Police Searching that navy yard room by room. Security here at the white house was boosted up as well as the Capitol Building and the d. C. Police chief said that sort of massive response indicates that they are ready should something happen over the weekend. Were aware of whats, you know, the discussion and chatter is around the fourth of july events and all those threats, and we take those into account. We change our tactics up for different events but we never lower our posture. We although maintain a very high posture. Reporter this does come at a time where there has been some change in security here at the white house as well but its not related to this specific Terror Threat but more to all those white house fence jumpers weve seen in recent months. Just this week the u. S. Secret service installed those sharp spikes at the top of the white house fence of course to defer all those jumpers. Poppy . Sun len, thanks for the report. I do appreciate it. When you think about potential terror attacks and these scares well get this the pentagon now coming out and saying quote, a state of perpetual war is the new norm. Using words like global disorder. Military leaders warning that we are closer than ever to a war with major super powers. Chief National Correspondent jim sciutto in washington with more this morning. Jim, its a scary reality. Reporter it is. Its a daunting appraisal, and something thats really already familiar to us. You look at the war in iraq still there more than ten years later, the war in afghanistan, 5,000 days and counting and this is what general dempsey, the chairman of the joint chiefs said in this National Military strategy. Comes out every few years, reports direct to the defense secretary, and it says that this is what americans will have to expect a great deal of going forward. A state of perpetual war, the new normal says the pentagon in its latest military assessment. Joint chiefs chairman general Martin Dempsey warns that todays Global Security environment is the most unpredictable he has seen in 40 years of military service. Global disorder has trended upward while some of our comparative advantages have begun to erode. Reporter deeply concerning as the pentagon prepares the military to fight nonstate actors such as isis and aqap in extended conflicts that look much like the current fighting in iraq and syria. We really are in a state of what i would call a new normal where were going to have these prolonged campaigns where we will be engaged militarily. Reporter taking advantage of those nonstate actors to their own ends are formidable national adversaryies such as russia. Backing separatist rebels in Eastern Ukraine with both weapons and troops. And iran aiding Houthi Rebels against the u. S. Backed government in yemen. Even more dauntingly the pentagon warns of a low but growing threat of a major war against a major power, including russia iran, and china. All countries that are aggressively pushing their influence well beyond their borders. China building and militarizing islands in the South China Sea 600 miles from its shores and in waters the u. S. Considers International Leading to tense confrontations in the sky which we experienced firsthand in may. Aircraft this is chinese navy. You are approaching our military alert zone. Leave immediately. Reporter the pentagon assessment finds, quote, none of these nations are believed to be seeking direct military conflict with the United States or our allies. Nonetheless, they each pose serious security concerns. The United States is going to bump into these what i would call expansionist and growing aggressive nations in terms of trying to accomplish their national objectives. Reporter one more threat north korea with its growing nuclear program. One key point that stuck out is what general dempsey said not only the threats increasing but americas advantages are being challenge challenged. A lot of wars you can have 12 aircraft carriers a nuclear arsenal, spy planes and satellites but in some of the wars they dont necessarily win it on the ground. Thats why u. S. Troops are still in iraq and afghanistan. This idea of asymmetric warfare. Its a daunting future not just for the u. S. Military but its allies abroad. Youve got an adversary in isis we understand less than the al qaeda, and youre dealing with these as you point out in your piece, jim, these nonstate actors statement being backed up whether iran will admit it with the Houthi Rebels by iran or in Eastern Ukraine being backed up by russia. Is it as complex a security environment as you have seen . Reporter certainly in my experience and if i guy like general dempsey says in his 40 years its the most complex hes seen, weve got to believe him. One thing, you mentioned isis. These wars that have tended to happen far from our shores weve got the pacific on one side the atlantic on the other side even when they have been happening theyve been over there. A group like isis brings that threat as al qaeda has done to the u. S. Homeland which is really something thats largely unusual for us and thats another factor that they warn about going forward. And if youre watching this in any state, right, we know there have been isisrelated arrests in every single state in this country. So the threat is everywhere. Jim sciutto, thank you. Appreciate it. Have a good fourth. New this morning amid those growing security concerns around the fourth of july holiday, an arrest warrant has been issued for a wisconsin man who allegedly threatened to kill president obama. Remember president obama was just in wisconsin yesterday speaking. This is a 55yearold man allegedly telling a Library Security guard there, quote, if i get a chance ill take him out and ill take the shot. Hes also accused of posting threats on facebook.

Donald trump in the center of a firestorm over his remarks about mexicans and immigrants not only alienating big business but also potentially a critical bloc of voters. America ferrera penning an open letter to thethe Huffington Post titled thank you, donald trump. Remarks like yours will serve brilliantly to energize latino voters and increase turnout on election day against you and any other candidate who runs on a platform of hateful rhetoric. For Maribel Gonzalez who happens to be mexican, trumps comments were not only hateful but harmful. Here is what she says. You cannot generalize a population, a people a culture. That is dangerous. Racism is manifested in words is one way it is manifested excuse me and its a completely dangerous generalize and to talk about people in this manner. You are proliferating discrimination. You are encouraging people to use hateful comments against a certain minority and that to me is incredibly wrong, dangerous, and just irresponsible. Lets discuss it with republican strategist noelle n nikpor. Noelle, do you think trumps comments hurt the overwall partyall party . Well you know trump is trump, and trump is famous for being his own worst enemy, poppy. And ive got to tell you, comments like this generally hurt, you know gop, but then again youve got to realize that anybody with a brain is going to realize this is not how we feel. There are a lot of different people involved in the Republican Party and the gop and they do not, im one of them they do not feel this way. They do not feel that everyone coming into the United States is a criminal and a rapist and whatnot, so i think that people are used to the shock factor of donald trump. Fair point. So donald trump is not the only republican talking about race. I thought these comments from rick perry this week were really really interesting. Lets listen. Too often we republicans, me included have emphasized our message on the tenth amendment but not our message on the 14th. For too long we republicans have been content to lose the black vote because we found we didnt need it to win, but when we gave up trying to win the support of africanamericans, we lost our moral legitimacy as the party of lincoln. So mark he also said i dont think Donald Trumps remarks reflect the Republican Party. I think the Republican Party is reflected like me. That is candidate speak, but getting to the core of that message. I think hes right. If youre purely deciding who to appeal to based on political strategy then you have lost something morally. You should be appealing to black voters white voters to all voters based on your belief you have the best platform for america and this particular constituency. I think hes right there. I think they have given up on the black vote. I think you think as a whole . In terms of who theyve targeted yeah. Over the last four to eight years theres been a lot of talk of getting back to the black vote of expanding it. When we saw the autopsy of the gop, thats one of the things that came up. Im excited to hear republicans talk about it again. Whether their agenda resonates with black voters thats another question. The Donald Trumps of the world are many reasons black voters wont vote republican. There are too many who believe republicans behind closed doors feel the same thing. Even if the comments prrnt about black americans you criminalize mexicans you probably criminalize black people. You brought up that autopsy that came out after romney lost in 2012 and noelle when you look at this romney reportedly won just 17 of the nonwhite vote in 2012. The rnc conducted that autopsy. They vowed to really make minority outreach a focus. This pew study shows that the party had spent 10 million to far in those efforts for minority voters. Do you think its gaining traction . Juno i really dont, poppy, to be honest. To be brutally honest i dont. Im not seeing a lot of movement. Im not seeing a lot of new voters come to the gop, but what i think the gop needs to do instead of really pandering to minorities i think that they just need to approach it as a whole and really tout things that appeal to everyone. Job creation. Job creation is colorless. Its not black or white or latina. Everyone needs a job. Less regulations. You know whether youre black or white or latina have you ever tried to go apply for a Small Business . The paperwork, the fees involved. Oh my gosh and education. School Choice School voucher. That appeals to minorities to latinas, to whites to everyone. So keep touting our message and stop pandering. I think the challenge though is that what youre propose something sort of color blind Public Policy that benefits everybody, but the problem is that black people have particular needs that need to be addressed as black people. In other words, yeah we all want jobs but black people have a particular challenge when it comes to getting a job call back. Im sorry to interrupt but we heard the president say last week in his speech in north carolina, you know and im paraphrasing here but when you look at a resume that says jamal, not johnny take a second look. He pointed exactly that it. Out. We have tried to have color blind policy which ignores th
