Trace gallagher, we are going to the scene in an apple is to kristin fisher. Reporter what happened is one of the worst attacks in journalists ever in the history of the United States and it started at 2 30 this afternoon, right behind me with a shotgun and smoke grenades, he shot and killed 5 employees and Police Identified those victims 30 minutes ago at a press conference. And John Mcnamara and rebecca smith, as for the shooter he is not officially identified by police. In the Capital Gazettes parent company, 38yearold jared rameaus had a longrunning feud with the paper that started in 2011 when the Capital Gazette cover criminal harassment case against him and in 2012 filed a defamation lawsuit against the paper and columnist. And lost that lawsuit, the deputy chief. This was a targeted attack on the Capital Gazette. This person was prepared to come in and shoot people. His intent was to cause harm. At the press conference the Deputy Police chief, the separate Law Enforcement in the state of maryland, multiple news organizations and this gunman has not been cooperative with police. He wanted to make it difficult for them to figure out who he is. To mutilate his own fingertips according to this Law Enforcement, a positive id on him. Police were able to take him into custody without firing a single shot. And within 60 seconds, an active shooter. The response has been incredible, astounding. Within one minute, and sheriffs deputies and city of Annapolis Police department on the scene and in the building demonstrating incredible courage. Not a moments hesitation, they went into the building knowing there was someone in there with a weapon. And able to diffuse the situation into custody. Reporter one week ago police were holding an active shooter drill, and all doubt, that kind of training and that 60 seconds Response Time saved a lot of lives today. Jillian they are true heroes, and get those calls off to them. Thank you very much. New details on reported identity of the suspect lets go to Trace Gallagher who is following this tragedy since it started. Reporter the Baltimore Sun which owns the Capital Gazette newspaper identifies the shooter as jared rameaus, the suspect made social media efforts against the Capital Gazette in the hours before the attack. Can you say they were violent . This is quite apparent this individual had some type of vendetta against the capital newspaper. Reporter we know now they had been involved in a few that dates back 7 years. In 2011 Eric Thomas Harley wrote an article, jared wants to be your friends, the peace detail how he stopped a woman he went to high school with calling her vulgar names and sending her messages saying things like, quote, you are going to need a restraining order now and you cant make me stop. I know all these things about you. Even though he pled guilty to criminal harassment he sued the Capital Gazette for deformation. s lawsuit was dismissed by a Circuit Court and was later upheld by the Maryland Court of special appeals with the judge writing that he had a fundamental failure to understand what defamation law is. Even created a twitter account using the handle eric hartley, the reporter who wrote the stocking story and posted threats quoting yes, you moved to leaving the Capital Gazette and going on to say go ahead and kill yourself already before i do. Legally in court. In 2015 he said the problem with hartley he is a veteran bad journalist and proudly irresponsible like charlie have go. That was weeks after the attack on the newspaper in paris. In 2016 alleged shooter jarrod ramos posted about the appellate judge who upheld the ruling against him, quoting i think moreland should kill himself but i hope he lives to see this. For two years jarrod ramos did not post anything until today when he wrote this about the judge, quote, blank you, leave me alone, judge moreland. Even though police say he was targeting the capital newspaper the suspect was fully aware the report he thought with was no longer working there. We have learned the suspect works for the federal government at the department of labor. Shannon thank you very much. Local police staying tightlipped executing search warrants not releasing a lot of details yet but lets break down what we know with Intelligence Analyst and former cia officer and randy sutton, former lieut. With las vegas Police Department, thank you for being with us tonight. What do you make of what we know so far . A few red flags here. This individual has been posting on social media, came to the attention of Law Enforcement over the years but this is a fine line. Law enforcement may identify someone as being a threat and a person capable of violence but until they cross that line their hands are tied. Today that simmering bubble burst and the carnage is dramatic and heartbreaking. Law enforcement response was amazing to respond within a minute, shows what a coward he truly was as he cowered under a desk and couldnt wait to surrender, he is a punk. I went to play something from the executive, the folks who showed up so quickly. I want to acknowledge the tremendous work of our Public Safety professionals today particularly the Police Department and the sheriffs office. They were on the scene in 60 seconds but beyond that they went immediately into that building without a moments hesitation and demonstrated incredible courage. These folks had just run this when they did they were ready. The Response Time is unlikely to have been possible in any way. When you look at these events dedicated to harming them, did some reconnaissance on it beforehand, exits and entryways. And and as well as the employees of the actual facility. Not a lot could be done to completely eliminate this threat, you have somebody with the judge graduate decides to shoot defenseless people and very few satisfying security answers how to stop this from happening. Shannon trace outlined what we know, came back with someone allegedly at responsible today. He was angry about an article written about the stocking casey was involved with an cyber issue he was involved with. Finally she was able to stop and even during the few months she didnt hear from him or have a harassment, he was doing in silence and was worried he was going to come back. He was doing just as we see this has been taking place over appear go of years. That is what is so frightening, the other gentleman said, and getting Armed Security on the premises at all times. Who wants that in your life. Mental we are going to hear a lot about Mental Illness and the fact of the matter is this individual is a killer and planned this and the full weight, if ever Death Penalty installed in that state, he deserves it. I would tends to doubt it, but there were reports about his fingertips so they couldnt get fingerprints from him. I would like to diagnose this individual from afar, certainly seems he has some categorizations you expect. Dna is a more important marker, it is not an effective means of preventing someone from tracking you down. This is not what you expect from master criminal by any means. Doesnt say anything about you the premeditation part of this . You see this with radicalization, you have precursors, markers you look for and they will set them out but when you read them and become familiar with them it is disgruntled, upset with fellow employees, makes vague comments about violence, there is no bright lines to look for, a lot of Lonely People stock people online and say nasty things on social media. How do you catch that one person out of a huge mass of people, you are hoping to get lucky and we did not. Thank you for your expertise and being with us.

The clock is ticking on a new nominee to replace retiring Justice Anthony kennedy a this is a fox news alert. The clock is ticking on a new nominee to replace Justice Anthony kennedy andnd ticking after the helsinki summit with russian pres. Vladimir putin and donald trump. We will hear from Mitch Mcconnell in a minute, his first interview since the kennedy announcement. Ed henry joins us with latebreaking developments. Reporter we learned from the white house the president this evening had a meeting with key players in the senate helping decide whether or not his next Supreme Court pick will get confirmed. You see Key Players Like chuck grassley, republican chair of judiciary can do, susan collins, Lisa Murkowski but at the bottom you have democrats like joe manchin, democrats facing reelection in strong trump republican states, in 2016, that is interesting, the president s critics say he doesnt reach out to democrats, hes clearly doing that. Heitkamp praised that he is reaching out for democratic votes. Contrast that to this process from Democratic Senators out of the Supreme Court denouncing the idea the president is going to try to get this pick done before the midterm elections even though barack obama got a Supreme Court nominee before the 2010 midterm switching contest disability of the white house about advice and consent with what Democratic Senators and liberal commentators are saying making it sound like this is the end of the world. Looking at destruction of the constitution of the United States, folks he has been appointing for lifetime appointments. This court is unbounded in its power, not just abortion and Marriage Equality but everything. It is all political. Wherever you come down on any of these issues i would hope as an american you dont want the potential criminal choosing one of our Supreme Court justices. Democrats trying to say they will do everything they can to get this pushed past the midterm elections. He will talk to sen. Mcconnell, republican sen. John cornyn said not going to happen in terms of delay get, this is going to get done before the midterm elections. Shannon the president touting the summit with Vladimir Putin but everybody who matters to this onboard . European allies dont like Vladimir Putin with the idea of this pres. Getting closer to Vladimir Putin, the summit will be july 16th in finland, second big summit in the span of a few weeks after singapore with a north korean dictator kim jong un. This is a chance to sit down with Vladimir Putin and talk about National Security issues, paving the way, the National Security adviser, john bolton, who met with him in russia after the meeting, a top Vladimir Putin aid reiterated russia claimed they did not metal in the 2016 election, the president tweeted the same, russia says it did not metal in the election, the president s critics not having any of that saying this show why they believe the president is too cozy with Vladimir Putin, the Russian Ambassador said called down, there can be fruitful negotiations ahead. It is going to be great. The world has to start getting along. Devoted to the state of bilateral relations which is to be much better. Reporter it will be awkward that next months 1on1 meeting between the russian president and donald trump will happen while Robert Muellers probe is still going in terms of russian interference in the election but remember what the president said dating back to the campaign, not such a bad thing for any us president to get closer and russia if they help on key issues like syria or iran. We will see if they make progress. Heather tempers flaring as Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Ray testified before congress. Catherine herridge is there, she joins us with new fallout tonight. Reporter russia isnt being hurt by this investigation, we are. Reporter the Ripple Effect of the special counsel probe dominated the hearing. Whatever you have got, finish it up. This country is being torn apart. We are not going to do our investigation subject to any political influence by either side. Reporter the alleged use of Confidential Sources together intelligence about Trump Campaign aides through fireworks. Not keeping any information from congress. The house of representatives will Say Something different. As the hearing unfolded by a vote of 226183 the house passed a nonbinding resolution calling on Rod Rosenstein to provide withheld documents of the congressional subpoena. Do you believe you have the ability to be of the law . Know. For republicans there were other frustrations. You wont say this committee whether you even read the document you signed that authorized spying on People Associated with the Trump Campaign . I dispute your characterization. Reporter on allegations to the house general counsel reported by fox news rosenstein threatened congressional investigators. Who are we supposed to believe . Staff members we worked with . Or you guys that we caught hiding information cant tell a witness not to answer our questions, who are we supposed to believe . Im telling the truth and im under oath, you want to put somebody else under oath with Something Different . Democrats defendant the republican appointed witnesses. Each of you were appointed, donald trump, is that correct . Yes. You are one of those 13 angry democrats my republican colleagues . I do not consider myself an angry democrat. Are you a democrat . Im not a democrat. Reporter democrat deadline is the july 26th, lawmakers return the following week from holiday recess. The fbi and Justice Department cite the need to protect sources in the ongoing russia investigation.

E shannon democrats are rallying today accusing Senate Majority shannon democrats rallying today accusing Mitch Mcconnell of being a hypocrite is the Kentucky Republican vows swift confirmation of a successor to anthony kennedy. The majority leader joins us from his office on capitol hill, good to see you tonight. Lets talk about this, sounds like you and your democratic colleagues have a different idea or different schedule idea how this is going to play out. I want to play democratic sen. From new york kissed angela brand. Mitch mcconnell set the rule, he said he will not allow Supreme Court justice during an election year. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. We should not allow this in an election year. Shannon your response . He left out an important word was what i said in 2016 we shouldnt feel a Supreme Court vacancy in the middle of a president ial election year. Last time i looked there is no president ial election this year and three current members of the us Supreme Court were completed in election years, nonpresident ial election years and the pres. s nominee to the vacancy will be confirmed in a nonpresident ial election year. We expect to get a nomination from the president soon and we should be able to work our way through the confirmation process sometime before early fall hopefully, in time for the new justice to begin the fall term at the Supreme Court which you know is the first monday in october. Shannon other folkss thoughts on your timeline, sen. Harris said this is looking at the destruction of the u. S. Constitution, we cannot relent on pushing back, Chuck Schumer said we will fight the nominee to the end. He doesnt have a name yet but sounds like he has a plan. Pretty obvious they are ready to fight no matter who the nominee is. The stakes are big. The democrats, let me tell you what they want, the kind of people they put on the courts. Activist judges. What do we mean when we say and activist judge, someone to make policy. Justice antonin scalia, a towering figure on the Supreme Court up there with Oliver Wendell holmes in the annals of Supreme Court history of the United States always used to say youre not a good judge of occasionally you dont reach a conclusion you dont like and the reason for that is the law requires it. Or the constitution requires it. If you want to make policy you want to run for office so the kind of people the president is considering for Circuit Courts, the nomination of neil gorsuch, these are people who dont believe the job of the judges to act like a member of congress but to interpret the law which is what the Founding Fathers clearly had in mind for the judicial branch. Shannon it is stunning when we remember Justice Kennedy was confirmed by the senate 970. Hard to imagine anything near that happening these days. You will have opposition from the democrats but what about complications on the gop side, the current absence of sen. Mccain, very ill, and what are your concerns . We hope there will be democratic support. Neil gorsuch got three Senate Democrats who supported his confirmation. Those individuals are still in the senate. We are not assuming it will be a Straight Party line vote. In the nominee we dont have a nominee yet. It is easier to talk about it once you do. Reporter the nominee you shepherded through, the left is upset talking about the fact you held open the late Justice Scalias seat for nearly a year and neil gorsuch was there for some important 5for decisions closing out this term including the travel ban which was decided in the president s favor coming of the union dues case which was decided in favor of those who think you shouldnt be forced to pay union dues, interesting tweets from your twitter account, one of them nothing but a picture of you shaking Neil Gorsuchs hand and the other looks like a dance party involving you. Is this worldclass trolling by folks who are not enjoying what is happening in the Supreme Court . Obviously im pleased with the president s nomination of neil gorsuch and we are happy he is similar to justice scalia. That didnt change the balance of the court and Justice Kennedy has been most of the time what you would call right of Center Justice so even his replacement is not likely to dramatically change the court, dont know why democrats are so alarmed. They were unhappy with most decisions reached by the current Supreme Court. Shannon they dont feel hopeful knowing about the replacement coming. George will have a lot of criticism for the gop and questioning his ties to it over the last couple years. He says Congressional Republican caucuses must be substantially reduced in the midterms, so substantially that remnants reduced to minorities stripped in the constitution antarctica one powers that they have been too invertebrate to use against the current wielder of article 2 powers, they will have leisure time to wonder why they work to achieve membership in the Legislature Whose unexercised muscles of extra feed because of people like them. What do you think of that . I disagree with george will. He is a friend of mine and i admire his writing but he is totally wrong. From a right of center point of view the last year and a half have been the best year and a half in the 30 years i have been in the senate. The Supreme Court, 21 new circuit judges, 18 uses of congressional review to deal with overregulation of the obama years, comprehensive tax reform, new, innovative approaches to the Veterans Administration taking care of veterans, revegetation of doddfrank. If you like america right of center it is hard to find a better year and a half than the one we are in the process of going through. We dont have this opportunity very often. Only 20 years out of the last hundred where republicans have had the house, senate and presidency. I dont think we wasted a minute of this opportunity the American People gave us in 2016 to move america in a different direction. Shannon someone to clean repeal of obamacare, people frustrated nothing seems to get through when it comes to immigration. A number of measures you put up or shut down, they couldnt get to 60 or any kind around them, they are frustrated, people calling a change to the legislative filibuster. Do you foresee a time you would be willing to take that to 51 votes and you think democrats would do it if they have vote 51 . The answer is no and no. I wouldnt do it if they wouldnt do it, that would fundamentally alter the senate in a way that our party would not like in the longterm. We only rarely control all 3 branches of government but for the requirements of getting 60 votes, democrats would have already passed socialized medicine during the obama years, already gotten rid of state right to work laws in the obama years. It is important to take a longer view of the best way to protect conservatism in the country and frankly we have not had a dominant position all that often in the United States senate and so the requirement of the democrats to get 60 votes has saved us from a lot of policies over the years. Shannon i want to ask about people who say Republican Leaders, theres hinton with george will has saying, Republican Leaders are standing up to donald trump when he is getting things wrong, who thinks he is hurting the party for the longterm. How would you describe your relationship with the president . The president enjoys overwhelming support in congress, there are few members who complain about one thing or another, i remember that being the case when democrats complained about obama. I supported the president 96 of the time. We are overwhelmingly in support of his legislative agenda. The president has solid support in the house and senate among republicans. Shannon i want to take you back a few days. You were on georgetown campus with your wife who was transportation secretary, we got a little video, identified as students and how this played out, take a look at that. Why dont you leave my husband alone . [shouting] not only an accomplished woman in her own right on many levels but seems pretty tough when it comes to folks coming after you. I said to elaine why dont you get in the car, and tell him what he thought. I loved it, it went viral on the internet. Im really proud of her. Shannon people might think twice about approaching the two of you in public. What do you make of this call by some on the left to say it is appropriate in a free country to find people they disagree with whether they support the administration or work with this administration, call them out and confront the many where you see them in public . I am a big believer in freespeech and sometimes what people say is not great. I do think poor behavior is not a great way to convey your views and getting in peoples faces in Public Places in trying to make them uncomfortable is not a great way to sell your point of view but everybody should have airfare say. You worked in washington a long time. Somebody demonstrating over something here every day somewhere in washington. I revere their right to do that. It would be better they be polite and not threaten people because that is when you step over the line. I tell visitors to town, it is a beautiful thing to see that freedom as it plays out peacefully. Senate majority leader Mitch Mcconnell, we will see you this summer and into the fall following the confirmation hearing as it gears up. When we return, instance reaction to our exclusive interview with the Senate Majority leader, and republicans can firming a new Supreme Court justice before the midterms. We will talk about it with ben schapiro who way they live on that and more when we return. Like the american red cross, and our nations veterans. We knew helping our communities was important then. And we know its even more important today. So were stepping up to volunteer more and donate over a Million Dollars every day. So our communities can be even stronger. Its a new day at wells fargo. But its a lot like our first day. Shannon you heard Senate Majority leader shannon Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell planning to confirm a new Supreme Court justice by accepting. Advocacy groups, democrats wasting the time jumping into the campaign to stop any replacement to solidify the conservative weight for decades, ben schapiro, editorinchief of the daily wire and host of the ben schapiro show is here to weigh in. What do you make of what he had to say . Sounds like he is not bothered by anything we are hearing from the left, has no intention of exceeding to any of their demands because he is in control. You can see wild enthusiasm emanating for Mitch Mcconnell. Shannon that is him excited. For a guy cocaine mitch, Mitch Mcconnell on the natural cocaine of the political cycle, downgraded. But it is amazing, basically correct from the filibuster which was in 2013 when harry reid decided to nuke the filibuster over judges to what he is saying about immigration, the fact is Mitch Mcconnell who a lot of conservatives have been critical of if it were not for Mitch Mcconnell at least one seat would have gone to barack obama and Mitch Mcconnell deserves a lot of credit for the fact it is a swing seat at not the replacement of another seat with a conservative. Shannon he thinks they can get a couple democrats. And collins and michalski if theres a prolife prochoice issue they may be out on a nominee. And lets get your reaction. Qualifications, whoever was sent up and very diligently. That is basically to review and shannon sounds like him and he is a measured guy who said i will take a look at the qualification before i say absolutely not. The qualifications, following Harriet Myers nomination are quite good. The top 5 trump is looking at currently sitting on courts of appeals and solid educational backgrounds, intellectual heavyweights and looking at your qualifications manchin will vote for them, voting on the base of qualifications not the litmus test. The judicial nominee process drives me up the wall ever since robert bork, you cant ask the judge anything that means anything, then you read tea leaves based on their old decisions to determine how they will vote on particular issues. That holds true with conservatives, not true for the left, one thing amazing to note, and 1 of the people they nominated voted consistently on the left. 50 nominated to the high court. And one judicial pick means republicans to because its and careful about who trump puts up. He should demand that person is fully committed to textualism and original is in. Is originally constructed. Heather they want somebody who follows what they expect the. What do you think of this benefit in the midterms. And likely get someone confirmed before the midterms, and that will fire of the Democratic Base to say the midterms you dont want that to happen again, show up at the polls. The Democratic Base will be very fired up, they will be fired up anyway. What additional points are necessary to get them to the polls, extreme hatred of donald trump personally . Turnout will be higher than normal. And democrats have a real disadvantage, they are 58 senate seats in the next election cycle and makes it easier for democrats to take the house.
