hi, everyone, i m dana perino, we just heard incredibly heartbreaking words from our father who lost his 22-year-old son in the thousand oaks, california, shooting. plus, jeff sessions, what does his resignation mean for robert mueller s investigation? we will talk about the responsibility of the white house press corps with our own chris wallace. you don t want to miss that on the the daily briefing. harris: back to one of our fox top stories, president trump effectively firing attorney general jeff sessions, replacing him with his chief of staff matthew whitaker who has been critical of the mueller investigation. the power panel here, let s start with jeff sessions and his exit. the president asking for his resignation. i don t think this idea that
sergeant helus responded to the training he had, he ran into the bar when he heard the sounds and he did it to prevent others from being injured and he was successful in that. one of the victims from inside the bar approached me and he thanked me for his service and said no doubt that his actions prevented others from being injured. harris: what you are sharing with us right now, i knew this from the video earlier, people are coming out to the different areas, to the scene, to close areas of that bar to express their thank-yous for those who have survived and also just people wanting to say thank you to law enforcement for being the ones to step in and save people. absolutely, we have a very supportive community out here. unfortunately today we all
details, we understand that sergeant helus was on the phone with his wife when he got the call and he told her i love you, i have to go do this now. he had to go do his job. that s a kind of professional he was, that s the kind of training he had and that s what he would expect his deputies to do and he would always lead by example. he was a remarkable man, we will miss him as an agency and obviously the pain and the suffering and his family is entering right now, you can t use words to describe it. harris: i know the people watching us right now can hear our voices breaking, it s hard not to. i m looking at the overpass i had drawn everybody s attention to, that is a fire department salute, those are indeed first responder vehicles you see there lined up on that bridge, and the traffic is come to a standstill on one side of the
be. it s a doj investigation, not a house democrat investigation, not a senate investigation. harris: it will be interesting to see if they work in tandem, it s their first investigation. it will certainly be interesting to watch as this plays out in january. harris: i was a pleasure to have you on, thank you very much. nancy pelosi is making it official, seeking to be speaker of the house once again. but should she face a big snag if somebody decides to run against her? we will see. coming up, a democrat in congress the last time nancy pelosi held a gavel. stay close. smile dad.
the nation is starting to learn it was packed, there were a lot of people inside and i don t know whether it was complicated to get out in terms of the exits, are there things you can tell us about the configuration of the bar? the bar has plenty of exits, everything about the bar is a normal bar with the requisite number of exits. however, when you have a situation where you re confronted with an active shooter, someone shooting specific people, you are going to have chaos and panic and that s exactly what happened. and in this case, many people were able to get out by breaking windows and other such things, just to escape the carnage. but i can tell you, it was a horrific scene and a scene that we hope never repeats itself anywhere in the country. harris: you are talking
