Lynnman coming at me and i just start doing some irish dance move and i just run right by him. This is the cbs evening news. Mason good evening. Im Anthony Mason. The sniping between President Trump and some members of his own party has now escalated into open warfare. Today the president went to capitol hill to have lunch with republican senators, but two of them issued stark warnings about the president s ability to lead. Arizona republican jeff flake announced he wont run next year so he can freely speak out against mr. Trump, calling him a threat to democracy. Nancy cordes has more on this vord extraordinary day. None of this is normal. Reporter arizonas jeff flake stood on the senate floor, his voice quivering as he called the president indecent, reckless, and undignified. When the next generation asks us, why didnt you do something, why didnt you speak up, what are we going to say . Mr. President , i rise today to say enough. Reporter the breadth of his condemnation was matched by a series of comments made by his g. O. P. Colleague bob corker earlier in the day. The president has great difficulty with the truth on many issues. Reporter like flake, corker is retiring at the end of this term. A bad day from my perspective for our nation, and i think the worst of it is going to be the whole debasing of our nation. Reporter corker chairs the powerful Foreign Relations committee. He says white house aides have repeatedly asked him to talk President Trump out of bad decisions. Its obvious his political model and governing model is to divide, and he has not risen to the occasion. Reporter mr. Trump once thought so highly of corker he considered him for vice president. A great friend of mine, somebody respected by everybody, senator bob corker. Reporter but today the president called corker incompetent and a light weight who couldnt get elected dogcatcher in tennessee. When he gets hit, hes going to hit back. I think senator corker knows that, and hes maybe trying to get a headline or two on his way out the door. Reporter that does not explain why other bigname republicans have also recently islamed slammed the president s politics and behavior. Bigotry seems emboldened. Reporter it all made for a tense lunch today between the president and republicans, who said tax reform barely came up. I dont have any observation about that. Reporter after lunch, the senates Top Republican wouldnt address the elephant in the room. At what point do you have an obligation as a leader of this party to weigh in on these very serious criticisms of the president . What i have an obligation to do is to try to achieve the greatest cohesion i can among 52 republicans, to try to achieve for the American People the agenda that we set out to achieve, and tax reform is what we are about. Reporter flake argued his party has a duty to speak out. We have fooled ourselves for long enough that a pivot to governing is right around the corner. I have children and grandchildren to answer to, and so, mr. President , i will not be complicit or silent. Reporter the president s allies were undaunted. In fact, the conservative outlet bright bart cheered flakes decision to retire after just one term. They said it was proof that Steve Bannons strategy to force out vulnerable mainstream republicans is working. Anthony . Mason nancy cordes with the latest episode of family feud. Thanks, nancy.

There was no response from the flight from montreal with 149 on board. Controllers feared a previous arrival wouldnt be clear of the similar same runway in time. A supervisor in the tower resorted to using a red light to alert the plane, which landed anyway. After landing, the tower made three more attempts to reach the air canada plane before finally hearing from the pilot, claiming there was a highway with the airliners radio. Thats pretty evident. Im afraid these fellas were almost clueless. Reporter ross aimer is a retired Airline Captain who often flew into san francisco.

Witnesses described his mothers behavior, too, telling agents she never let anyone come into her home. One describing her as a gun nut, who loved the feeling and power of a gun in her hand.

M. , one minute into the attack, the times says Stephen Paddock wounds mandalay bay Security Guard jesus campos in the hallway.
