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 . I was heading up to the service. Im there every i was there last night for service. I go up there around 10 00 and in the morning and one of the Vice President s that i work with on facilities now that i stepped down, he called. He worked for city emergency management. And he said he just got word theres an active shooter at
tree of life. Go up there and see if this is true. I tried to get up. I only live a block away from the synagogue. I tried to get up shady avenue and was police cars everywhe
where he is today. who knows where that is when election security doesn t even matter. i can t believe that we have hundreds of thousands of americans stations around the world for our own security and we have a president who is saying that he would violate a law. the law in way that if an american serviceman or woman or a state department official or a department of defense official or a spy did they would get their clearance struck. quickly on nancy pelosi. she seems to be more and more untenable position as leader of her party. she s having a harder time explaining why she won t start impeachment. there s no question that job got a lot harder since that interview last night. this adds fuel to the fire in parties of the democratic party who do want to proceed down the path of impeachment. ahead, the presidential campaign that may be grinding to an early halt. before the first debate begin, some democrats have taken the
so it caught the white house s attention in a big way. it was a big neon sign and mueller stood there very clearly and said he couldn t say that the president didn t commit a crime. i know there s a political strategy around some of the president s advisers who think that essentially trying to dare house democrats to try to impeach him will have a positive political effect for him, but i don t believe the president wants to get impeached. i don t. i think that he thinks that would be a sign of failure and that it would not help him in 2020. i know, again, there s the bill clinton analogy. bill clinton was not actually on the ticket in 2000, so we re never really going to know how that would have played out. i don t think that he wants to so this go further. and i think that he continues to see this entire investigation as, you know, delegitimizing his victory. you know, the response to that, unfortunately, for him, is that the the broader world that is concerned about u.s. institutions
as far as anyone knew was a western until he brought it up. and mr. trump spent the weekend settling personal scores. he told a little girl there is no santa claus, asking her and we re quoting, are you stale believer at santa? because it is marginal. wherever you stand on jolly old elves, it is a christmas fact the president will soon be operating without a jolly old attorney general, chief of staff, defense secretary, u.n. ambassador or special ensfloi charge of the fight against isis. that s the back drop to the president s trip. and we ll get to all that in a minute. barbara starr joins us from the pentagon with details. this requires weeks of preparation. that kind of security doesn t happen overnight.
