But he knew he was in the bathroom and he was able to get out of the building, again, because these exit doors were working well. I cant tell you how thankful i am just to do that one task Homeland Security told us to do. Because in the past you couldnt push through the exit doors . They werent easily opened. They had safeties on them so they couldnt open either way. But now he was able to get out. I mean, he could be alive because of this. Where were you when you found out this had occurred .

Good evening. Im chuck todd in washington. Welcome to mtp daily and what you might call the chicken little presidency, which saw a fascinating and some democrats would argue, a fascinating split screen courtesy of oprah. Was her message the antidote democrats have been looking for when it comes to this president s fear campaign. For his part, the president continues to amp up his rhetoric, much with violent undertones. Hes telling the country the press is the enemy, democrats are a violent mob, and a caravan thats 900 miles is an imminent invasion. Just moments ago at the white house, he reiterated that warning. Some people call it an invasion. Its like an invasion. These are tough people in many cases. A lot of young men, strong men. And a lot of men that maybe we dont want in our country. But they have overrun the mexican police, and they have overrun and hurt badly mexican soldiers. So this isnt an Innocent Group of people. The president also claimed that he plans to block immigrant
Country. This is the georgia governors race between republican secretary of state, ultra conservative Republican Brian Kemp and the former democratic leader of the state legislature in georgia, Stacey Abrams. New poll from the Atlanta Journal constitution, as you see in the headline, it says they are deadlocked. Thats not hyperbole. Look, quote, the poll, conducted by the university of Georgia School of public and International Affairs has Stacey Abrams at 46. 9 and brian kemp at 46. 7 . That is incredible. Five days out in a statewide race, five days out from the election to be separated by 0. 2 percentage points. If neither of these candidates gets over 50 of the vote, brian kemp and Stacey Abrams will have to go to a runoff in december. So if neither one of them hits 50, we will not know who georgias governor is going to be until next month there. Is a libertarian candidate who is running in georgia as well. He has as much a chance of winning the governorship in georgia as i have at
On Foreign Policy. But first, heres my take. This is a sad week for america, one of the saddest that i have ever witnessed. First, a series of bombs directed at a former president and other public figures. Then an act of horrific terror in a house of worship. We seem to have crossed lines and broken barriers of decency. The attack on the tree of life synagogue strikes me as particularly tragic. One of the most extraordinary features of modern American Life has been the integration of its Jewish Community. For over 2500 years, jews have been vilified and perse sucuted everywhere. Then came america and israel. Two places where jews could breathe easily and live safely. In this country, jews have been deeply patriotic and productive, scaling heights of achievement and becoming civil leaders and good citizens. And yet, we have seen an unmistakable rise in antisemitism in recent years. Now this. What does it say about america . The two events of this week are quite different, and most impor
