several private messages on facebook in the 30 minutes leading up to the massacre. one message referred to shooting his own grandmother. another about attacking an elementary school. julie: a short time later he entered the school through a back door and went into a fourth grade classroom, barricaded himself and opened fire. a border patrol agent from an elite unit rushed into the shooter killing the student. bill: we have heard from many anguished parents waiting for news of their missing children and many are now left to remember their loved ones who are no longer. she was very happy and very outgoing. loved to dance and sing and play sports. hundreds of friends. they were all frantic praying. they were saying anything they could to the policemen to let them get the kids. he is still in there, we can t do that. other kids staying he is in still in there. we re stronger together. julie: last night mourners gathered for a vigil to honor the victims, wanting to com
the technology to demine and we did exactly that in the strait of hormuz. don t forget, we have the mine sweepers in u.s. and nato. we would establish corridors and drive the ships through swept corridors where the mines were removed. bill: we are three months into the war. how does it end? what s putin s endgame as you see it today? he has failed miserably at his front game which was to take over the entire country and decapitate zelenskyy and take over the country. that has failed. his endgame at this point is to take as much territory as he can along the land corridor that runs from mother russia down to the crimea, take all that sea front in the black sea and then negotiate to hold onto it. bill: we ll see how success kful it is. to risk it all is your book. you will learn about the
and president biden is going for the first time on this trip the first time since the invasion started to meet face-to-face some of these very ukrainian refugees that they talked about what this has looked like in the last month since the invasion began. michael. there has been speculation that president biden would attempt to see president zelenskyy before heading home. it seems like that s not going to take place. do you now how seriously the white house considered that? i think it was something they didn t rule out initially when they abruptly put this trip together. normally, a trip like this would take months to plan. this is something that the white house and.world put together in days. whether or not he s going to meet with zelenskyy is difficult. obviously, it was difficult for zelenskyy to come here to meet president biden given he s not left ukraine just a few days. left and went to the munich security conference. and the idea of sending president biden in ukraine is diff

kyiv as they have in the past. another one, kathryn, if we ve got time. i know there is a rick but the president would have done well to have gone to ukraine. robert tripp, i thought, i m sure if humanly possible, he would have made that excursion. i thought when vice president kamala harris went to poland a few weeks ago, perhaps she would have tried to do so. then three foreign leaders got on a train and met with president zelenskyy. i m sure president biden wanted to do it. i thought that would have been the feather in the cap of this trip. i want to know what you think. go to the website at smerconish.com and answer the survey question pipe just brought it up with admiral stavridis, should nato respond, if russia uses chemical weapons in ukraine? you heard what the president had to say on that during the course of his trip. i ll bring results later. up ahead after meeting with president duda, president biden now heading to the national stadium to meet with some of the
