Why arent you actually firing these people instead of preparing to fire these people . Heres what he said. As the new secretary of the v. A. , why would i want to take a long period of time to get this done . Its not in my interest, its not in the veterans interest, and its not in the interest of the members of congress. The secretary said hes hamstrung by the rules of the federal government and labor laws that surround it, randi, still a lot of criticism coming to this new secretary because hes been on on the job a while now and we still have these people in phoenix who are on administrative leave, basically paid vacation. In pittsburgh who were involved with the scandal there who are still being paid and not too many being fired. In fact, the really upper ranks who have been responsible for this have quietly been retired with all benefits. So there is criticism here, but the secretary says hes going to get that change turned around and it was all part of his plan, the road to veterans day. Well, veterans day is tomorrow. Today well hear what he has to say. This guy, mcdonald, he doesnt have any government experience, he doesnt have any medical experience, he is a ceo, right . He knows business. He knows business, and that may be just a little bit part of the problem. He has to take some advice on knowing government and making sure that he is following all the rules of government. You know, running procter gamble, which he did, is not going to be the same thing as running the v. A. He brings a lot of passion, a lot of business strength to the job, but as you well know, randi, business and government are two Different Things and there are a lot of rules and a lot of competing issues you have to deal with to turn an agency as big as the v. A. Around. And thats what i think hes struggling with now. Drew griffin, appreciate it, great reporting as always. The parents of slain ferguson teenager Michael Brown are traveling to geneva, switzerland, today to speak out on Police Violence before a u. N. Committee. Back home, everyone from the mayor to the police to School Officials are bracing for whats to come when the grand jury returns its decision against the white officer who shot and killed the black unarmed teen. Theyre hoping it wont be more scenes like this right here, the weeks of riots and protests that followed browns killing. Cnns sara sidner has been in ferguson, remains there for us live. Set the scene, sara. Are people bracing for the worst . You could say the residents and Business Owners are collectively holding their breath. A lot of things are really at a stand still waiting to see whats going to happen. Yes, there is some rebuilding, but mostly a lot of the businesses, especially the ones that saw so much of the unrest in august, are boarding up. Ferguson is on edge. Some Business Owners are busy fortifying their shops. Its hurtful. It is really, really hurtful. Reporter salon owner Constance Garnet says she cant afford to take a chance that unrest will crash head on into the business she built here for the past 11 years. If they should come and loot our area, then its going to cost us. Reporter protests havent stopped for three months on her street so we asked one of the polices most confrontational protesters about those concerns. As far as whats happened within the last 90 days, people will know that if you have been paying attention, there hasnt been any looting, no violence, what not. Weve been completely peaceful. Reporter nevertheless, plenty of folks worry that may change. F the grand Jury Announcement goes against what protesters want the indictment of officer Darren Wilson for the killing of unarmed teenager Michael Brown. At a gun shop near ferguson, the manager says sales of firearms for personal protection are up about 50 . Every time that door opens were seeing new faces everyday. Dozens of new faces coming in. Do you think thats because of what happeneds in ferguson . I think it is. I think people in general, because its spread beyond ferguson now. Reporter the mayor of ferguson says hes heard all about it, too. The plus side of that is is that every one ive spoken to have went out and taken a training class, tried to learn the law. Reporter but not everyone is convinced theres going to be chaos. At the Ferguson Burger bar and more, which opened just a day before brown was killed, no boards. Unlike most of his neighbors. Im here, im open, im not going anywhere. Reporter so, you know, you hear that from some of the Business Owners. I can tell you that the protesters themselves are giving some people hope because they have been policing themselves for the most part, the protests ever night have been peaceful and theyve been telling anyone who plans on doing violence that theyre not a part of this movement. As for the police, as for the people here, the residents weve taed to dozens of people, they are all planning for what they think is the inevitable, waiting for the grand jurys decision to come down as early as this weekend. Randi. Sara sidner in ferguson, missouri for us. Thank you, sara. We have new details on this weekends unexpected release of two americans imprisoned in north korea. Kenneth bae and Matthew Todd Miller stepped off the plane and on to american soil after a whirlwind effort to free them. That was secret Mission Launched by the white house and dispatching as its envoy americas top spy, National Intelligence director james clapper. Cnns ana cabrera is live in slailt near kenneth bays family home. Ana, i would imagine a whole lot of smiles where you are. Absolutely. Its a Beautiful Day here in seattle and for more than one reason, clearly. Kenneth bae and Matthew Todd Miller presumably waking up in their own beds this morning. This is their second day back on american soil. And it was an emotional reunion with their families. Lots of hugs, lots of smiles, even tears of joy. Now, Matthew Todd Miller, he and his family have asked for their privacy. He did not speak upon his arrival but kenneth bae did. Listen. Thank you all for supporting me and standing by me during this time. Its been just amazing blessing to see so many people being involved, getting me released for the last two years. Not to not only mentioning for the thousands of people that have been praying for me as so i just want to say thank you all for supporting me, lifting me up and not forgetting me. At the same time also not forgetting the people of north korea. And thank you for supporting my family as well. This has been a tremendously difficult time for my family and theres so many people who have been supporting them to stand strong during this time. And i just also want to thank president obama and all the people in the state Department Working tirelessly hard to get me released as well. And also id like to thank the north korean government as well for allowing me to go home and come home and be united with our family and. Its been an amazing two years, i learned a lot, i grew a lot, lost a lot of weight in a good way. But im standing strong because of you and thank you for being there at such a time as this. So i just want to say tonight thank you for all your support and prayer and your love that has really been encouraging for me and for others. Thank you. God bless you. It was so great to hear him even in good spirits you have no joke as he talked about losing a little bit of weight and that that was a good thing. His health there in north korea was one of the big concerns of his family members over the past two years that he was in prison there because he has diabetes, he has high bull pen. In an interview a couple months wag will ripley he talked about feeling numbness and tingling in his hands and being unable to sleep so the good news is he condition. E in fairly good his sister telling us that may have been because he was hospitalized not long before his release. As for what hes been doing since he arrived back in the u. S. , we know he had pizza for his first meal and that the family stayed up late joking and sharing stories. So it sounds like hes on a road to recovery. But lets not kid ourselves, his sister says. Its probably going to be a longer road as he has to work through some of the emotions and still continue to recover physically as well. Randi . Pizza, huh . Im sure he was wondering what he was going to eat when he was released thinking positively when he was there. Ana cabrera, thank you so much. Indeed. It may be time to grab your winter coats already. 200 million americans are in the path of a deep freeze that is striking too early for comfort this year. Check out minneapolis, minnesota, right there. Its below freezing there right now and the brutal forecast is calling for more than a foot of snow. Cnn meteorologist end a peindran is joining us. Im not ready to turn the heat on. Minneapolis only gets about nine inches for the entire month of november. What are they expected today . Theyre looking for over a foot of snow in places in minnesota. This is not something theyre welcoming. Theyre looking at over a foot and a half in places like wisconsin today so, yes, the snow is already on the way. Just keep in mind, temperatures there will be chilly. Right now in minnesota theyre talking about temperatures feeling like theyre in the teens right now and theyre not even expected to be above freezing for a week. So heres the story we have all been talking about. Take a look at the cold air. Its going to be diving down to the south will remember, down to the south and then to the east. So if that cold air isnt by you yet, dont worry, its coming. Here comes the changes. Keep in mind, already about a 50degree temperature drop in places like the dakotas today. That temperature drop will only be spreading farther to the east. The story today has been more of the snow. You can watch the low bringing some of that heavy snow. Once it lifts out of here, youll have the tail end or the cold front. That will bring in the cold, dry air. So you may be saying thats not that bad today. Maybe thats because its not by you just yet. The east coast, temperatures are still climbing up. In fact, tomorrow if youre out towards d. C. It will be beautiful. 68 degrees. But look whats right behind it . Here comes the cold plunge, temperatures day by day only dropping further. St. Louis going down the 30s. Not until about wednesday or thursday do we start to see those temperatures drop. Its almost like that that sneak attack. The 40s quickly jump in if youre out towards new york city by thursday. Morning low, 20s and 30s. I hope youre ready whether you like it or not. I lived in minneapolis seven years so i can handle anything. Youll always be more ready than me. That was a good training for any type of cold. Indra, thank you, good to see you.

And that relationship on full display now this week as president obama attends asiapacific economic summit in beijing. He is expected to hold direct talks with his chinese counterpart on key issues like trade, currency, and cyber security. Cnns christineomans is here to talk a little bit more about this. This is a big deal. It is. It is a powerful relationship thats only getting tighter. You look at this powerful relationship between a rising power and an established power with very different ideals and very different systems of government, but very big business ties. Look at this. The u. S. Trade deficit with china, the largest trade imbalance basically in history, those red bars are how much more we buy from china than we sell every year. Its hundreds of billions of dollars. When you look at, say, the most recent month, september imports, we import more from china than any other country in the world. China is our factory floor, china buys our debt, china lends us money. We have these ties between this country that are really strong and growing ever stronger. Now, the president in a nod to trying to strengthen the relationship announcing some new visa rules so Chinese Business people and students will have longer visas. Ten year long visa for business people, five years for students. Business leaders say that china buying power, the china tour cyst reshaping how american businesses do business and they would like to have those visas easier to get and longer and thats the president a year isnt enough time. If youre a Chinese Business person doing business here youre back and forth over and over, watching your investment so ten years is what the president is giving them. Thats a nod to strengthening that relationship. But we cant ignore the fact that the relationship between the u. S. And china has been tough over the years. Certainly over the last year. Over the last year this is a relationship that got a little bit rocky. You had the attorney general announcing charges against chinese nationals for stealing. He said stealing some really important industrial secrets, there are complaints about cyber espionage, the chinese always deny it and say the americans are making it up. There have been claims about espionage and china is getting closer and closer to russia at the same time the United States and europe are trying to isolate vladimir putin. This morning we were watching the president speak to the apec conference, putin is there, the chinese are there, obama is there and they are three very different relationships with russia right in the middle. Christine romans, thank you. Youre welcome. Still to come, pioneers at the cross roads less than two weeks after the fatal disaster of spaceship two, the future of Space Tourism is in doubt.

There are no gatekeepers deciding which sites you get to access, there are no toll roads on the information superhighway. President obama touting his support for a free and open internet. Its called Net Neutrality and obama says it is essential to the American Economy and to the american way of life. Cnns samuel burke is here to talk more about this. Hey there, samuel. Hey, randi. So anybody who cares about how much their internet bill is at the end of the month will be happy with this news. Let me explain Net Neutrality. Companies like netflix right now, theyre being charge bid the Internet Service providers like comcast and Time Warner Cable more money because theyre using so much space, getting you those movies and series youre watching on netflix. Eventually that cost will be passed on to people like you and me, randi. Well have to pay that extra money those companies are charging, like comcast charging netflix. But basically whats just happened, the president came out and said that he is recommending that the fcc reclassify the internet as a utility. And this would probably have the effect of making Net Neutrality real. Once again, that these companies couldnt charge netflix and then the cost wont get passed on to you. Now, hes just recommending it at this point, but im speaking to some of the top lawyers in the United States dealing with this issue and they tell me the fcc is very likely to go along with what obama is saying because three of the five people on the fcc are democrats. Were seeing stocks of Time Warner Cable and comcast falling 6 , 5 , and youre seeing that tweet right there, obama says im urging the fcc to keep the internet open and free. Heres my plan to protect Net Neutrality for everyone. Even signing it bo. Everyone who follows him knows if its signed that way its really from him. So it could have the effect of keeping cable bills lower. You said hes just recommending it. When we l we know for sure. A thats hard to know. But as i said three of the five people on the commission are democrats so its likely it will go his way including the street. Wall Street Investors think this could happen very soon, thats why youre seeing stocks fall so quickly. This has just come into play recently that Companies Like netflix were having to pay more to comcast so its unlikely you seeing the effect of it on your cable bill yet but this could happen quickly enough that we wont see the effects at the end of the month, randi. Samuel burke, thank you very much for the update there. The first commercial flights of Space Tourism seem just within reach. The first paying customers were within months of blasting out of earths atmosphere but the spaceship two disaster and the death of its pilot now raises new questions about the futur t futuristic enterprise. Rachel crane sat down wit the ceo of Virgin Galactic to discuss the challenges ahead. Reporter Virgin Galactics ceo George Whitesides was watching from the flight line as a scaled composite test flight flying Virgin Galactic spaceship two broke apart above the mohave desert ending with a loss of life. When we saw the clean release, the start of the rocket motor then after a bit the radio calls made clear that there had been a problem, people were pretty shaken up. Reporter stakes have never been higher for Virgin Galactic and despite the tragedy, virgin is not pressing pause. They are intent on moving forward with the creation of their next passenger spaceship, spaceship two serial two which is 90 structurally complete. How is Virgin Galactic going to convince people that these missions, that these flights will be safe . Were going test fly this week. Were going to test fly spaceship two. Were going to do it a lot to make sure we understand what happened. Reporter for virgin, that means massive structural changes to the design of their craft wont be necessary. Were heartened by the findings around the condition of the motor and i think if it does become focused on human procedures then there will be straigforward ways that we can deal with that, make sure that it doesnt happen again. While the investigation is ongoing, virgin is allowed to continue work on their craft and they expect to enter the testing stage in the next six months. This spacecraft behind us is the future of Virgin Galactic. Thats a lot of pressure i. In the space flight world, were used to a lot of pressure, we have a lot of pressure on a lot of things we do. Were not going to rush it. Well take our time, make sure we build this vehicle carefully, strongly and safely. Reporter a human life was lost here. Is there any question now within the Virgin Galactic community that the risk is worth the reward . We fly everyday on airplanes that have had accidents and you do that because you know that fixes have been made, that those vehicles are improved over time. Were pioneer ago new place now, a new environment, a new set of vehicles to do it with. And there are risks. But i very much believe that the future of space is worth those risks. Its up to us to carry forward. Reporter while the ntsb investigation could take up to a year, ground tests on the latest model for Virgin Galactic will begin in the next five to six months. Rachel, Virgin Galactic has sold more than 700 tickets already for people who want to go into space. 20 customers apparently asking for refunds. Hows the company dealing with that . I asked george whiteside, the ceo, about this. He said the real story is that 680 passengers are still with them. Now, the passengers who have asked for a refund, of course, will be given it. But several of them have actually been swayed back once theyve spoken to the company and are now sticking with their mission to go to space. And, in fact, actually, a couple people have signed up to go to space after this accident. Hmm. Well, i guess thats good news for the company and exploration in general. Rachel crane, appreciate it. Nice to see you. Still to come, obama says his decision to double the number of u. S.

Good morning on this monday morning. Im randi kaye in today for Carol Costello. Thanks so much for being with me. President obama is defending his decision to double the number of u. S. Troops in iraq. This weekend he told cbs news that the move is not a sign the battle against isis is failing but simply a new phase in an on going war. No, actually, what it signals is a new phase. First of all, lets be clear. Isil is a threat not only to iraq but also the region and ultimately over the long term could be a threat to the United States. This is an extreme group of the sort we havent seen before but it also combines terrorist tactics with ontheground capabilities in part because they incorporated a lot of saddam husseins old military commanders. And, you know, this is a threat that we are committed not only to degrade but ultimately destroy. Its going to take some time. Cnns Barbara Starr is live at the pentagon with the latest. Barbara, we should point out, of course, the president saying, again, these troops will not be involved in combat roles. Thats right, randi. The troops will be on the ground in iraq. Theres certainly combat all around them but theyreot going with the mission, with the job of conducting combat. Their major job right now is going to be trying to retrain iraqi forces to take on the fight themselves. That said, thats dangerous work enough in some of the areas that these new troops are going to be going to, especially Anbar Province west of baghdad. Its an isis stronghold, its been a hot spot for a lot of the latest fighting. But theyve picked spots where they want to get after isis and basically try and get the iraqi forces back on the offense, back to pushing isis out, not just Going Village by village town by town but really trying to make some sort of significant progress on the ground at pushing isis back. The hope is these additional troops will be able to train the iraqis to do that. Randi . Barbara starr, thank you very much for the update there from the pentagon. The president s plans are raising eyebrows in congress on both sides of the aisle as lawmakers question his ability to increase the number of troops without consulting them first. I do not think the president has the ability under Current Authority to authorize 1,500 troops without Congress Acting so my hope is when we get back well have a full debate on this and i think a lot of us are going to be reluctant to support this kind of infusion of Ground Troops absent some suggestion, some evidence, that the iraqis are doing what is necessary politically to complement this infusion of american resources. Here to discuss this, cnn political commentator sally kohn and republican strategist ana navarro. Sally, let me start with you here first. In a piece for the daily beast rand paul says this war is now in his words illegal. What do you make of that . As hard as it can be for me to find myself agreeing with rand paul and, by the way, the blatant sort of broad obama bashing in the piece aside hes right. This is why we have checks and balances. This is why we have congress, this is why we have a war powers act. I saw it and folks i think know i thought it was wrong to be bombing isis anyway, it will make the situation worse not better. There is no imminent threat, which is the kind of thing that would allow you to override the war powers act and, again people need to know there is no imminent threat from isis. He should have gone to congress then, he should go to them now. I think the real question now is whether congress, especially republican control, will support the president because they have this bad habit of opposing him, doing things that they once demanded him to do but then when he does them they still manage to oppose him. Its vexing but there you have it. Ana, i wanted you to weigh in here because we know president obama, hes not the first president of course to send troops into harms way. What if anything are critics saying makes sending troops to fight isis different from, for example, clintons use of force in serbia or george h. W. Bushs in panama or reagans in grenada . Whats the difference . I think the difference is that every expert thinks that this is going to be a lengthy war. Most people think that it will require boots on the ground at some point. I think everybody on both sides or most people on both sides understand its a real stress to continue this particular action against isis under this authorization that was passed ten years ago and had teefrg do in 9 11. Th was a real stretch. We know we were in political crazy season before this. We were in the middle of election and there are things people didnt want to do. But i think this is the time for president obama to write up his use of authorization. Speaker boehner told him that in the meeting they had on friday. Write it up, let me get the democrat votes, you get the democrat votes and i look forward to debating it. I think the American Public deserves the right to have this debate, to have their representatives debate this and i think hed get it passed. I think most of the people particularly who are going to be in control now, folks like john mccain whos going to be chairman of the Senate Arms Services committee, will help the president get this passed. But hes got to lead and hes got to put it on. So you dont buy the fact that even though isis broke from al qaeda in 2012 that they could still lean on that and the fact that i mean, you cant deny the fact, though, that there are former al qaeda members now involved in isis. Sally, why dont you take that . Its just too tenuous. We have to bear in mind, the rationale we used even after 9 11 to authorize military action in afghanistan and in iraq was based on this sort of new notion of preedge, that we no longer needed an imminent threat. And in my opinion, president obama moved the goalpost even further. He says now becau there is no imminent threat. There is no currently our Intelligence Community confirms theres still no current planned attack. Isis is awful. Theyre horrible, nobody wants to see them succeed. But theyre building a state there, theyre not over here. Now its not just imminent threat, its the possibility that they might someday threaten us becomes enough to justify military action and especially without going to congress, this is just this is dangerous. This is our brave new scary world and we should be really wary of it. Ana, what about the money . President obama is asking for 5. 6 billion to fund the fight. Hes getting pushback from both sides. Will he get it . I think he ultimately will. But i think he has to make the case. And i think he has to help get the democrat votes on that money. Hes going to have to work the phones. Hes going to have to work the hill in order to get this money. And it would be easier, frankly, if he did have the use of authorized military force. Now, you know, i disagree with sally in that im not a military expert and so when my military experts, when the top military dogs in this country tell me and the top intelligence folks say, you know, that we should mr. B there and that there is a threat and that we need to contain isis over there because if not theyre going to come here and do harm to us here, you know, i tend to believe them. Maybe im naive, maybe i shouldnt but thats kind of since im not a military expert, thats where i go. There are plenty of military experts saying exactly the opposite and unfortunately, a lot of the voices were hearing from, including senator john mccain and Lindsey Graham are people who always support military action and its disturbing that republicans somehow seem to find the money for these things when they cant find money for food stamps and Unemployment Insurance and crises we actually know are happening right here. Well leave it there. Sally kohn, anna naff. Remember, its a democrat president asking for that money. All right, thank you. She always likes to get the last word. Shes very good at. It she just cant help it. Ana, nice to see you. Thank you. Still to come, irans Supreme Leader lays out a plan for wiping out israel and he does it in a tweet. Details straight ahead.

Built for business. Welcome back. A new controversy involving irans Supreme Leader. Its over a tweet sent from ayatollah Ali Khameneis official account that lays out a plan for wiping israel off the map. It comes days after it was revealed president obama reached out to him in an effort to take down isis. Cnns chief National Security correspondent jim sciutto live in washington following this. Jim, good morning to you. Tell me more about this tweet. It fits with the Supreme Leaders general combativeness towards the west with particular towards israel. Its not the first time we heard this. You remember the previous president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in who in fiery public speeches would often make this call to wipe israel off the map. The Supreme Leader in this series of tweets you see this picture up there now he had a ten point plan he tweeted out. This is the world we live in, right . The Supreme Leader of iran is leading out a tenpoint plan on this. He takes a different tack here. Rather than saying this should be done with force or military action but it should be done with a referendum where the people in palestine and israel, what iran calls the whole area, palestine, that they would vote to see what to do with the jewish israelis and, of course, his assumption being that they would vote that they get pushed out. Its another tack trying to cloak this very combative tone towards israel in a legal structure but it comes from the same place and it really shows you that in iran you have this division because from the current president Hassan Rouhani and you will have friendly words but from the Supreme Leader who holds the power in iran you have a very different tack. Its so interesting because on one hand hes saying he wants to arm the west bank, places like gaza, then on the flip side he said were not talking about massacring the jewish people. So its very interesting sort of what he does have to say there. But what does this mean, really, for the u. S. iran relations . Heres the thing. You have these very weighty Nuclear Negotiations going on right now with the deadline coming up in two weeks, in fact, two weeks from today, november 252 24. Theres some progress there. It seems both sides want to al. U. S. Diplomats, the u. S. Government, the administration, knows you have something of a bravado for a public audience that you will hear from the Supreme Leader that doesnt necessarily reflect the actual positions of the government. The trouble is, its hard to divine what the actual path will be, right . Because sometimes iran shows more conciliatory steps internationally at other times it shows very violently aggressive ones like its consistent position they want israel to end. So the real challenge for u. S. Negotiators and the administration is can they find some Common Ground there to move forward, for instance, on the nuclear talks, and as you kw there were people in congress here, both democrats and republicans, aour very close aly in israel saying listen to what the Supreme Leader says, that reflects the true iran, theres no way you can negotiate with these people. And well have a big test of that with these negotiations of the deadline coming up in a couple weeks. Absolutely no question. Jim sciutto, thank you. Thank you. Still to come, for some new yorkers busted with small amounts of marijuana the punishment may no longer include an arrest. Why city officials are changing the way they handle certain cases.

New york city is making a change to the way it handles certain Marijuana Possession cases, and that means those incidents will no longer be treated as a crime. Alexandra field is here to talk more about this. All right. So this applies to what city Law Enforcement officials are calling lowlevel Marijuana Possession. Do we even know what low level is . They havent defined what low level is but sources tell cnn well see a change in the policy about how Police Officers will enforce this lowlevel possession. Well get more detail this is afternoon during a press conference with the mayor and the Police Commissioner but at this point we are learning some of the details of how the policy will change. What we understand now is that lowlevel possession would be treated as a violation. That means you would be given a ticket, you would be summons to appear in court and violation would be punishable by fine so were talking about no longer arresting people in some cases for lowlevel violation. When you look at the numbers, randi, in the last eight months of 2014, this city has had more than 24,000 arrests for lowlevel Marijuana Possession so thats the number theyre looking at. Think about how time consuming that is. Hugely time consuming and in some cases youre looking at a very small amount of marijuana. Why now . Certainly this is something happening in various states and cities across the country but we also heard from mayor de blasio about working to change the policy in new york city. During the campaign he said low level Marijuana Possession arrests have disastrous consequences for individuals and their families. So questions about how the policy would work in new york city versus the state. Hoping to get those answers. And it sounds like it would be up to the officers discretion as well bh from what we know so far. Sounds like this is a case in which you could be given a ticket or certainly you could be arrested depending on the case. We havent defined what lowlevel possession is so will there be a number of grams, 25 grams . What will it be . How many bags . We dont know. Would it apply to whether you are smoking publicly or just possessing a small amount, all the details the administration will have to provide. Still a crime, maybe less of a serious crime at this point depending on what they say at that press conference, 3 00 eastern time. All right, alexandra, thank you for the update.

Reporter as youre shot, people and calling 911. Ese yes, maam. Adrenaline is a heck of a thing. Like i said because honestly, ashley doesnt like hearing this, but i didnt know how much i didnt know how long i was going to live. Reporter patrick knew his chances of survival diminished each moment he waited for help to come to him so instead he went to it by climbing out of his office window. People call you a hero.
