But three years ago, i made the decision to go back and use what i know i am in a unique situation to take what i know and apply it to the Education Community and say we can make special education better. There are ways we can use the data we collect. I have to say i am a little proud of this, too. I am proud of standing up at this point of time. I wanted to be a politician. I did not do it because i wanted power. I did it because, after september 11, i wanted to find a way to serve my country. I was too old to join the army. I thought about applying to the fbi. I should never have a gun in my hand. [laughter] this, i can do. I can stand up and speak and contribute to the conversation. I am very proud of this and proud of you guys because everybody has talked to me and said, we can do better. We, the electorate, can increase the conversation. We can make government better. I will answer the other part of the question, something i would take back. I was offered a job at amazon. [laughte
Good evening. Im lester holt. Brian is off tonight. Well show you where he is a bit later on. But we start here with the head shaking account of last septembers White House Security breach. And what a new report finds to be a series of human and technical failures that allowed an armed intruder to make his way into the front door of the first familys residence. The report by the department of Homeland Security details lapses by members of the secret service including an officer who apparently wasnt where he should have been and malfunctions with communications and security systems. Nbcs Peter Alexander has late details. Everybody out right now reporter this is the home video of fence jumper Omar Gonzalez running across the white house north lawn in september. A damning review by the department of Homeland Security blames the secret service for a series of performance, organizational, technical and other failures. The report found the secret services alarm systems and radios failed to w
Im in for john king. With us to share the reporting and insights krns phil mattingmat matting mattingly, caitlin hueyburns, and jackie kucinich. Last night Hillary Clinton returned the favor she received from Bernie Sanders during the first debate when senator declared that americans dont care about her emails. This time she accepted sanders apology by the data breach by his Campaign Staff saying she doesnt think the American People are interested in that either. They turned to the many unresolved differences. The truth is its relatively easy for a powerful nation like america to overthrow a dictator. It is very hard to predict the unintended consequences and the turmoil and the instability that follows after you overthrow that dictator. I think secretary clinton and i have a fundamental disagreement. Im not quite the fan of regime change i believe she is. Clinton argued the u. S. Cant walk away from the worlds problems. No matter how messy and complex they are. If the United States do
Inside the republican circus for president. In just a few days, how in the world did we go from talking about this good evening. Shock and horror, but sadly, no surprise. Belgium, which for four months has been living on age and braced for attack, took two devastating hits today, claimed to be the work of isis. To this you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, thatll do it every time. Donald, youre a sniveling coward. Leave heidi the hell alone. And it gets a lot worse, folks. But in the wake of tuesdays deadly attacks in brussels, the terror raids, the global insecurity, a continent in mourning, the killing of an isis commander, it could have been a week where we saw what kind of commander in chief these candidates would like to be portrayed as. And quite frankly, it should have been a potentially terrible week if youre donald trump. He had the makings of a terrible week for him. But instead, were talking about the looks of heidi cruz, melania trump, and a salacious tabloid story
Good day. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. President trump is in belgium preparing for a critical phase of his first foreign trip making a direct pitch to nato allies to spend more and hoping that they forget about his Campaign Rhetoric about nato being obsolete. The buzz here at home all about the first familys first meeting with pope francis with plenty of memorable moments. Joining me new, kelly o now, ke and nick schmidt. Kelly, first to you in brussels. This nato meeting were told that the nato leaders have been told to keep their speeches short because President Trump might not be as interested in all the details that usually take place at a nato meeting in brusse brussels. Weve seen those report, weve heard those comments. There is perhaps both an adaptive quality to that and maybe even a condescending quality to it. You have had so much experience with this, the density of the complex issues that are sometimes discussed at a nato meeting and this is convened in part because we
