ashley: what we just a heard was investigators and first responders in colleyville, texas in regard to the hostage standoff that is now over. whohostage taker is dead and for hostages that were taken were not hurt. they wouldn t say much about the individual the hostage taker himself as that will come out in, you know, coming days with this investigation as it unfolds. but four people were rescued and unharmed hostage taker did not harm them. specific demanding also wasn t directed toward the jewish community. which that was a big question that people have had throughout the day. amid this synagogue do we still have david katz live with us? still here. ashley: david i want your initial reaction to everything that came out of that news conference. well this is you know, i m really pleased that i now have this information
i just ran out. richard was facing questions that were slightly different but just as skeptical. why would someone break into your house? i don t know, man. i wish i knew. did the cops take your finger prints? and your dna? yes. did you think they were looking at you as a suspect? yeah. it was scary. i had never been in that situation with police. but the focus seemed to linger on his brother ryan. this wasn t directed against him that you know of. i don t know, dude. the first reaction was, is that one of your friends? did someone break in? that was your first reaction?

situation with police. but the detectives focus seemed to linger on his brother ryan. this wasn t directed against him that you know of. i don t know, dude. the first reaction was, is that one of your friends? did someone break in? that was your first reaction? as police continued their questioning, one question stood out above all. why would these two thugs come into your house, basically, not hurt you, and then really brutally kill your mother? and leave behind a witness? yeah. this investigation was about to take a turn that no one expected. two guys come into the house,
deep into this. and he hadn t been as fort coming. and also we know wasn t forthcoming because he changed his testimony. we ll get to that. about 30 minutes later, trump and zelensky had the phone call. and the transcript leased by the white house and zelensky tells trump i plan to surround myself with great people and in addition to that investigation i garn president of ukraine all the investigations will be done openly and candidly. i can assure you. trump satisfied with what he heard from zelensky. responds. says good, whatever you would like to come to the white house, feel free to call. give us a date. and we ll work that out. i look fard to seeing you. so, he wants everyone to read the transcript? that s when the transcript and doesn t sound good. in the transcript by itself.
