Cleared background checks while the community of Sutherland Springs is pulling together as one of the heroes who probably prevented even more blood shed speaks out. I did what i did because it was the right thing to do. I hope that the families and everyone affected in this community, i hope they are able to sleep a little better at night knowing that this man is dead and wont hurt anyone else. Melissa adam housley is live in Sutherland Springs, yesterday. First of all take a look behind me. Were seeing our first look at the church since the massacre roughly two days ago. They moved away one of the portable investigative buildings. Took it down and moved it away as they are starting to downsize a bit of the investigation here. Still a lot of activity inside that church and outside as well as they are gathering all sorts of evidence. You can see somebody in the foreground doing some surveying as well as they put this all together. Now we heard from one of the heroes from sunday. He was
He wants, my friend across the aisle has shut down the government for hundreds of millions of americans. It all really stems from the president whose inability to clinch a deal has created the trump shutdown. I agree with majority leader mcconnell. The trump shutdown was totally avoidable. President trump walked away from not one, but two, bipartisan deals. And thats after he walked away from an agreement in principle on daca we reached way back in the fall of last year. If he had been willing to accept any one of these deals, we wouldnt be where we are today. All right, the president adding to the chaos with a tweet today suggesting it may be time for republicans to invoke the rarely used Nuclear Option, allowing the senate to change the voting rule to end this stalemate. Cnns ryan noticeabbles is on c hill for us. Ryan, where are we after the speeches, after the president s tweet. We know mcconnells office said, no, they dont want to change the voting rules for a simple majority, so

President saying about those ongoing protests in iran and how it might affect u. S. Policy Going Forward . Great to have you with us, molly. Well talk a bit about policy shifts in a bit. First i want to say the president has made clear his belief the people in iran want freedom. Thats something the leadership there, the people in control refuse to give them. Thats why you are seeing this protest play out. Weve talked about this over the great many years weve done this. It is not just the Trump Administration that made this observation. Also the Obama Administration and before that the Bush Administration as well. Lets go to twitter. The president making his opinion known. As you just showed earlier today, the president was talking about this and he did so yesterday as well. He said iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the Obama Administration. The great iranian people have been repressed for many years and hungry for food and freedom. Along with hu
Received message from xi jinping from china that the meeting went well and kim looks forward to his meeting with me in the meantime maximum sanctions and pressure must be maintained. Bill kevin corke watching white house reaction and starting in london with greg palkot and wa we know what was said at the meeting. Reporter weve been speculating two days and now its official.
