Is nothing we cannot achieve. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts is live with the story. John. Jon good morning to you. First of all a headline out of the white house. The department of health and Human Services more to the point the new cdc director is stepping down from her position after it was reported that she had bought stocks in a Japanese Tobacco Company after she became the cdc director. Part of her role as the director is to lead the nations antismoking campaign. Hhs said dr. Fitzgerald owns certain complex financial interests that have opposed a broad recusal. After advising secretary aczar of the status she tendered her resignation. Now the hunt for another cdc director in atlanta as the president begins his hunt for bipartisanship after a state of the Union Address that earned him high marks from his party and in many of the overnight polls. The most pressing order of business for the president , getting a deal on daca, the president proposed and pushed democrats to accept his proposal of a 12year path to citizenship for 1. 8 million dreamers in exchange for a border wall an end to chain migration and end to the Visa Lottery Program down a middle compromise. Listen here. President trump we presented congress with a detailed proposal that should be supported by both parties as a fair compromise. One where nobody gets everything they want, but where our country gets the Critical Reforms it needs. The other big issue the president is looking for bipartisan cooperation on and needs it to do it because it will require 60 votes in the senate is infrastructure. He proposed a 1. 5 trillion plan. Short on detail but the actual federal investment would be lower than 1. 5 trillion. Listen here. President trump every federal dollar should be leveraged by partnering with state and local governments and, where appropriate, tapping into private Sector Investment to permanently fix the infrastructure deficit and we can do it. [applause] any bill must also streamline the permitting and approval process, getting it down to no more than two years and perhaps even one. Based on democratic reaction to the speech the president has some heavy lifting if he hopes to gets democrat on board. A lot of resistance is pegged to their dislike for the president which caused white house officials the say this morning the democrats face a choice. Listen to hogan gidley here. They have to make the decision whether they want how much they love america versus how much they hate this president. The president outlined several key issues that should be bipartisan. In addition bipartisanship someone asked yesterday should they be bipartisan over things like infrastructure . Absolutely. But also solutions to daca which the president outlined. Laying low today relatively speaking. He only has one public event meeting with workers from five states whose companies have passed on benefits derived from the tax cut and tax reform plan. Interested in seeing more on the infrastructure funding. It will be interesting if done right. John roberts, thank you. President trump i am asking congress to ensure that in the fight against isis and al qaeda, we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrorists wherever we chase them down, wherever we find them. And in many cases for them it will now be guantanamo bay. [applause] jon President Trump making good on a Campaign Promise there to keep gitmo open. The commanderinchief raising the prospect of sending new prisoners there, a move supported by senator james inhoff who writes one of the best, most respective Counter Terrorism tools is maintaining our facilities at guantanamo bay. President trump made the right call to keep the Detention Center open for the safety of American Families. Senator inhoff joins us now. The Oklahoma Republican who sits on the Armed Services committee as well. Its my understanding that President Trump signed the executive order just before delivering the state of the Union Address. Did your office get a headsup on that . Yeah, we did. Jon, you know, it just is shocking we had a president in obama who would want to get this thing to shut it. There is no place else to put these guys. I was pleased when trump first came out and acknowledged they are enemy combatants. They arent criminals, these are not the type of people that you should intermingle with the terrorists. The job of a terrorist is to train other people to be terrorists. So you cant put them in our prisons. The first thing that president obama tried to do was to close gitmo. The only justification they could say is almost like we dont want to offend the terrorists. Well, they will try to kill us anyway. He made every effort that a president could make to close gitmo. We kept it open in the senate Armed Services committee and what he did is just let them loose and they ended up the estimate is 30 of them went back and returned to the battlefield. I know that the Washington Post documented that there were six americans that were killed by those who actually were released from gitmo. Look, gitmo is a place where they are treated properly. A great interrogation place. They dont use torture and all that stuff. They eat good and have better medical conditions than they ever had before. It is outrageous that thing isnt operating. Im really glad he is doing it. Jon one of the 41 prisoners still housed there is Khalid Mohammed the guy who planned the 9 11 attacks. How would you propose to get rid of ordeal with a person like him if you didnt have a gitmo to keep him . There is no place you could put him. Ive seen him several times in my visits to gitmo. There are other choices. He could be wiped out or something and people would be screaming. There is still a possibility to get information from him but you nailed it, here is a guy responsible for putting together 9 11 and what else would you do with him . They actually tried obama tried to use in my state of oklahoma downinlawton, oklahoma, one of our military establishments has a prison there. He wanted to put some of them in there and we were able to stop that but his result was he turned them loose. He turned them back to overseas. I was just really proud first of all a great speech that trump made last night. He made me proud and he touched on all the right things that im interested in, rebuilding our defense and infrastructure. I was so glad he included gitmo in his presentation. Jon some of the president s critics have said he is racist to keep gitmo open. Now pick somebody up on the battlefield who is trying to kill americans or kill american troops, why is it racist to incarcerate them on a u. S. Naval base in cuba . There is no justty indication. They get to the point where they have to Say Something to paint themselves in a corner saying we dont like gitmo. The whole original reason for that they thought they were accused of using torture, using some things that we would all agree they shouldnt be using. What has come out of gitmo is information that has saved countless american lives. Right now they are down to 41 people at gitmo. It was almost 800 people in gitmo and we were able to get a lot of help in our battlefield help. We want to go back to that. Jon oklahoma senator james inhoff, a republican and the guy who has been to gitmo four times. We appreciate your insights this morning. Thank you for coming on. U. S. Coast guard to the rescue airlifting a woman off a crew ship. Why she had to be transported right away and how she is doing this morning. Hillary clinton breaking her silence on why she didnt fire a Campaign Staffer accused of Sexual Harassment. When i received the diagnosis, i knew at that exact moment, whatever it takes, wherever i have to go. Im beating this. My main focus was to find a team of doctors that work together. When a patient comes to ctca, theyre meeting a team of physicians that specialize in the management of cancer. Breast Cancer Treatment is continuing to evolve. And i would say that ctca is definitely on the cusp of those changes. Patients can be overwhelmed. We really focus on taking the time with each individual patient so they can choose the treatment appropriate for them. The care that ctca brings is the kind of care ive wanted for my patients. Being able to spend time with them, have a whole team to look after them is fantastic. I empower women with choices. Its not just picking a surgeon. Its picking the care team, and feeling secure where you are. Surround yourself with the team of Breast Cancer experts at Cancer Treatment centers of america. Visit cancercenter.

She is in stable condition right now. Melissa Hillary Clinton pushing back after mounting criticism for not firing a top Campaign Aide accused of Sexual Misconduct from a young woman on the straf. He was working on the clinton 2008 president ial campaign. He was demoted and had pay docked but didnt lose his job. In a post, she said i understand the question im being asked as to why i let an employee on my 2008 Campaign Keep his job despite his inappropriate workplace behavior. The short answer is this, if i had it to do again, i wouldnt. The editorial director of the washington examiner. What do you think about her putting out this long statement right before the state of the union last night . It was typically cynical. The truth is that both the content and the timing was cynical. It was a way of putting something out that was very expansive and lengthy but putting it out before the state of the union speech meant it was a clear attempt to avoid having people looking at it closely. The truth is that Hillary Clintons efforts its far too late for her to give the impression of being candid and frank about things. Everything is calculated. The toothpaste is out of the tube. She cant put it back and when she tries she makes a mess of it. Melissa the part that struck me. It is a long passage. She says in this one part i did this because i didnt think firing him was the best solution to the problem. He needed to be punished, change his behavior and understand why his actions were wrong. The young woman needed to be able to thrive and feel safe. I thought both could happen without him losing his job. She goes on to talk about Second Chances but this idea that she didnt want him to lose his job, you know, this is a problem that a lot of people have right now in this time where were looking at Sexual Harassment. They want someone punished but they dont want to workplace disrupted and be inconvenienced. Thats what this means to me. What do you think . Thats exactly right. Hillary clinton did not want this to come out publicly. She couldnt do nothing. She had to punish him. But the last thing she wanted in the 2008 campaign was a Sexual Harassment scandal. Her instincts throughout 30 years in public life have been to keep things secret whenever possible. She claims to be in this lengthy statement a life long, career long champion for womens issues. But throughout her career when it has been more convenient to suppress information about Sexual Harassment she has done so. With her husband she tried to erode the credibility and undermine women who accused her husband of Sexual Assault and even rape. When its convenient for her she hides it and yet pretends in this statement to be a principled champion of womens issues. Melissa thats the other big problem with this. By her past actions she has seemed to not be sympathetic to victims but to blame them. And this was, you know, it seemed to be more evidence of doing the same thing of not being sympathetic to the victim. Not being on the side of the victim. She says in other places in this passage the victim says she felt supported. But to a lot of women like myself, this seems like more evidence to the contrary. Does it matter now, though . She is kind of out of public life although she says in here that she has a lot left to contribute and she is not going away. She clearly cant bear to be outside the public eye. She wants to be in the spotlight. She was at the Grammy Awards just the other night. That was another example of her compromising her principles on Sexual Harassment and womens issues. She read from the book fire and fury. That was a book in which nikki haley, americas ambassador to the United Nations was implied to be having an affair with the president , of sleeping her way into the job that she had. There is no evidence for that in the book. If Hillary Clinton were actually a principled opponent of Sexual Harassment she wouldnt have given credence to that book. Melissa all right, thank you for joining us, we appreciate your time and analysis. Jon interesting. She said if she had it to do over again she wouldnt set up the private server, either. Melissa thank you for reminding me. Thats true. A couple of things she would do differently. Melissa there you go. Jon the Las Vegas Massacre mentioned in the president s address last night. Now were learning about a new person of interest connected to that deadly shootout. How the information was accidentally released and what we know about the man. The president also talking about north korea in his speech. How he plans to get tough on kim jonguns regime. President trump north koreas reckless pursuit of Nuclear Missiles could very soon threaten our homeland. Melissa new information about the Las Vegas Shooting massacre in nevada, the release of warrants in the days following the shooting. Were learning about a second person of interest in the case. Investigators from the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms questioned an arizona man who owns a company that specializes in military ammunition. He reportedly told them he did not know the gunman but sold him ammunition. Stephen paddock opened fire on music fans killing at least 58 people last october. The most deadly mass shooting in modern u. S. History. Investigators say they believe paddock, who killed himself that night, acted alone but his motive still remains a mystery. Jon a hot mic catches President Trump after the state of the union talking about a classified intelligence memo. The president supporting releasing to the public. Listen to what he said moments after his speech. Ohio congressman mike turner joins me now. You are a member of the house intelligence committee. You voted to release this memo. I assume that means you think the president should comply as well. Absolutely. I voted to make this memo to the house and public. There is detailed information that the public needs to understand. The house needs to review as we look to legislative remedies to try to address the abuses that the memo outlines. The president now that he has this before him i think its very clear reading this memo and hopefully you will be able to read it also there is no threat to National Security. It details abuses that need to be addressed. This is something that the public and certainly Congress Need to debate. Jon some who have observed or listened to the president s exchange with congressman jeff duncan last night said he appeared to be facetious in saying he wants to release it. Do you have any way of knowing what the president s take is . I wouldnt want to speculate what the president s take is. I can tell you this having read the memo and support its release the memo has no information in it that will disrupt investigations or challenge National Security. Other than bringing to light abuses that need to be addressed. These are abuses that both the American Public need to be aware of and Congress Needs to take action for. When the president reviews this he will see it the same way and hopefully release it to the public. Jon many critics have said this is going to release sources and methods of intelligence gathering. You dont think that will be the case. Absolutely not. Specific actions of abuses and that needs to be brought to light. When people finally do get the opportunity hopefully with the president s approval to read the memo all the critics will look foolish for some of the speculations theyve made and some of the accusations theyve made that are absolutely false. Jon we hope that will come in the next few days. The president in the meantime was touching on the threat from north korea last night. Here is part of what he had to say. President trump past experience has taught us that complacency and concessions only invite aggression and provocation. I will not repeat the mistakes of past administrations that got us into this very dangerous position. We need only look at the depraved character of the north korean regime to understand the nature of the Nuclear Threat it could pose to america and to our allies. Jon what is your response to the way the president characterized the north korea situation . He is accurate. We have cut our Defense Budget to the extent weve disadvantaged our men and women in uniform and capabilities. Talked about our near competitors china and russia and their future threat to peace. Focusing on north korea and bringing the issue of the last two administrations, we have had two administrations have watched north korea get closer to nuclear weapons. This president will be increase our military spending, making us strong. He said it straight up in his speech the only way to ensure peace is by making certain the United States is strong. Jon mike turner, a republican from ohio. Good to have you on happening now. Thank you, sir. Melissa a false alert about an incoming Ballistic Missile caused a panic in hawaii nearly three weeks ago. Today new information about what actually happened. What we know about the employee who sent it out. Plus more reaction to President Trumps state of the Union Address. Next well hear from Deputy White House press secretary raj shah. President trump no people on earth or so fearless, daring or determined as americans. If there is a mountain, we climb it. If there is a frontier, we cross it. If there is a challenge, we tame it. If there is an opportunity, we seize it. Jon new developments in the investigation into the false Ballistic Missile alert that caused a panic across hawaii nearly three weeks ago. The employee who sent it out said he believed it was a real emergency and has since been fired. Two other top officials also have left the state agency. One employee resigned before any disciplinary action was taken. Were in the process of suspending one employee without pay and finally after numerous discussions over the past two weeks with Major General a respected military leader and honorable man, has taken full responsibility for the incident of january 13th and the actions of all his employees. Jon adam housley is on the story and joins us with more. A lot of details coming out. They havent named the exemployee who no longer works at the agency that set it all off january 13th when he or she set off the false alarm if you will. Had people come on their cell phones saying there was a Ballistic Missile threat and some people were putting their kids down storm drains because of it. We also learned a change of shift was taking place among many other mistakes. Also according to officials the fired employee took full responsibility. Coworkers have said the employee has been a source of concern before. The federal report released found that the employee believed it was a real actual Missile Launch even though at the beginning it says exercise, exercise, exercise and the end it said this is not a drill. He had performance issues. Throughout the 10 years he has confused drills at least two times. A real world and a practice drill. It wasnt just the fact a warning went out wrong. We know it took 38 minutes to retract it and because there was three or four different steps that employees then had to take to basically right the wrong that was done by one individual. We know a couple of other things, too, jon. There were three supervisors on at that time at the hallway. A number of changes will be put into effect. Some have started. One they say which sounds simple, it will now take two employees, one and another one to look over the shoulder to send out one of those alerts so you wont have a situation where one may not have heard it. Jon lets hope we dont see that kind of panic again. Adam housley. Absolutely. Melissa President Trump urging bipartisanship in last nights state of the Union Address while celebrating americas successes and strengths in the face of adversity this past year. President trump over the last year, we have made incredible progress and achieved extraordinary success. We have faced challenges we expected and others we could never have imagined. We have shared in the heights of victory and the pains of hardship. We have endured floods and fires and storms. Through it all, we have seen the beauty of americas soul and the steel in americas spine. Each test has forged new american heroes to remind us who we are and show us what we can be. Melissa of course, the speech being met with mixed reaction. Were hearing from the white house now Principle Deputy press secretary raj shah joining me live from the north lawn. Thank you for joining us. A lot of emotion in last nights speech and a lot of people standing up and cheering panning out to the crowd and seeing the people that were being honored. Talking about the policy, though, there was something for everyone to love and something for everyone to hate when he talks about creating paid family leave, keeping gitmo open, making the Nuclear Arsenal stronger, prescription drugs less expensive. Cracking down on drug dealers. There is something for each side. Have you gotten pushback from people on the right who didnt like some of the elements . Melissa, thanks a lot for having me on. He did tick off a lot of the issues. The president offered a unifying address last night. There was something for everyone to embrace. He talked about how the economy is growing, growing rapidly now. We have unemployment at a near two decade low. We have the stock market rising. President has a big agenda Going Forward on issues like immigration, infrastructure and, of course, there will be some pushback. This isnt a democratic president giving a Democratic State of the Union Address. This president is committed to unifying the country, bringing us forward, working with democrats and republicans on an agenda that the American People first and foremost want. Melissa even on the republican side when most of the chamber cheered for paid family leave you notice speaker ryan didnt stand up and cheer. Its one of those things where even if you looked at the policy within it there was something for each side. You know, one of the big concerns i think from the right is that he let the positive aura from last night tonight and not step on himself tweeting or Something Else coming out. Has there been conversation within the white house . We havent seen a lot of activity on twitter. Its unique when the president gets an opportunity to speak directly to the American People for over an hour as he did last night. You talked about paid family leave. His message to American Families was pretty clear. If you work hard, you should have an opportunity to raise children that live up to and embrace the american dream. They should have educational opportunities, job opportunities, and we should give you an opportunity to raise them with as much support as possible. Thats why the president signed into law a tax cut bill that passed last year that has a Child Tax Credit. Doubles the Child Tax Credit and makes it easier to raise a family. On many issues he is reaching across the aisles and wants to work with democrats and republicans. We think the president s remarks are so successful well let them speak for themselves. Melissa Speaker Pelosi wasnt that excited minority leader pelosi wasnt that excited. Pardon me. She said tonight the president presented a selfcongratulatory speech without vision. He promised unity and sewed division. She might have written that the night before. There was so much that democrats could get behind. They refused to do it. The president talked about how africanamericans and hispanic americans are facing some of the lowest unemployment rates in recorded history in this countrys history and you had the Congressional Black Caucus and nancy pelosi and others sit on their hands. I dont know what you can clap about if you cant clap about that. He is going to work with them on issues like infrastructure, immigration and many others. We want to stay stronger and prouder and work with democrats to do that. They have to meet us halfway. Melissa talking through a lot of the speech, too, i noticed. Raj shah, we appreciate your time. Thank you for having me. Jon fox news alert. We understand that a train carrying republican members of congress who were headed to their post state of the union retreat at the greenbriar resort in West Virginia, that train has had some kind of an accident. Now we are told most of the people on board appear to be okay. But there are some injuries. We dont have any information frankly about what kind of an accident this was, whether cars left the tracks or not we do not know. Could have been a collision with a car or truck at an intersection. The greenbriar in the mountains of West Virginia, hilly area. Where exactly this thing had its accident is going to be an important point to note. But again, republican members of congress who had boarded a train to head for the greenbriar resort for their annual retreat to talk about things like the 2018 election landscape, that train has had some kind of an accident and were told there are injuries. We will continue to bring you the latest information on this story as it comes into the fox newsroom.

We want to tell you about an amtrak train that was taking gop members to a retreat in West Virginia in greenbriar that has been involved in a collision. Gop sources are saying the train collided with a dump truck which was on the tracks at the time and that this accident took place near charlottesville, virginia. Were also getting word right now as we said it was a special charter taking those members after the state of the union they were going to have a retreat to talk about strategy in light of last night and coming into the 2018. More reports that it appears the train collided with a donald dump truck that was stuck on the tracks. Injuries to the truck driver and scanner reports a Triage Center being set up near where the accident was. Looking on twitter, congressman don bacon tweeting minutes im on the train but im okay. Jon the greenbriar is a legendary retreat in the mountains of West Virginia in white sulfur springs. The place where the federal government opted to build an emergency convening center for the u. S. Government back in the cold war days. There are subterranean chambers there where the houses of congress have room to be able to meet. This was all done in case of Nuclear Attack by the then soviet union. Those facilities at the greenbriar still exist. The members of congress, the republican members of congress chartered this special amtrak train that was to take them there for several days of meetings to talk about especially the sort of potentially rocky landscape for republicans come november of 2018. President trump is among those who was supposed to go there and meet them. Now were getting some of the first pictures via twitter of what happened when this amtrak train specially chartered by members of the Republican Caucus of the house and senate, when that train hit a dump truck near charlottesville, virginia. Melissa i didnt know that about greenbriar. Some other tweets that were seeing. This is from kansas republican congressman dr. Roger marshall saying were on our way to our annual gop retreat. The train carrying members and spouses hit something. Were okay, im helping those that are injured. I will keep you updated as we know more. So were seeing some things come out on twitter right now from those who are involved. This is one of the first pictures that is coming in. There is actually a train stop at the resort so this is something that had been in the works for a while and its hard to make out that picture. Jon it looks like a train car. If so it is were told there are injuries but dont know the extent. Chad perg rum is joining us by phone. Im hear the train accident happened near krozette, virginia west of charlottesville. They left early this morning bound for the greenbriar and white sulfur springs, West Virginia, the annual retreat. The president was supposed to speak to the Group Tomorrow and Vice President tomorrow. Im told that the locomotive hit what appeared to be a trash truck and the locomotive has derailed. In indication that any of the other cars on this train we dont know the size of the train that they derailed. Members were thrown from their seats and hit the deck. Were getting sketchy information about injuries. Were told that they dont appear to be major at this point. Keep in mind a lot of members take their spouses on this trip as well. So we dont know the extent of injuries there. This happened in virginia, this is a special train where they packed up buses, took members of congress. Republicans going to a retreat from the house side of the capitol and boarded this train bound for West Virginia. Melissa do you have any idea how long ago the accident happened . They left pretty early this morning. Its quite an enterprise to get people packed up and they take the buses over and then get them on the train. We think the train left around 8 00 this morning here. Now i am told in just the past couple of minutes, i have gotten this from three different sources, that the biggest concern about an injury appears to be the driver of the truck and that his injuries may be life threatening. That has come from multiple sources and we believe at least in the early fragmentary moments of this incident that the truck may have been stuck on the tracks. Jon let me just amplify that a little bit. The picture we have on our screen provided by twitter from somebody on board the train it looked to me like it was an amtrak car. In fact, it is a truck and you can see the trash that appears to be scattered around it. We believe that it was a trash truck and it looks like it is on its side. Maybe a tractor trailer truck. That appears to be what we see there. And that would make some sense. A locomotive is a monstrous machine and can toss a tractor trailer like a toy. It appears to be what happened here. I live in virginia and have for many years here. I am not familiar with this told. It is spelled crozet. And i have just a little more information coming in here. Im told at this point that helicopters and security are on the scene there and that all of the injuries appear to be minor, at least when it comes to members of congress. Now capitol security officials. You have security details that go with the leadership and sergeant and arms offices and u. S. Capitol police. They do this when they do these retreats off campus. Theyve done them in baltimore and philadelphia. They do a big motorcade, a rather large police presence. The Senate Democrats were meeting today at their own retreat at mount vernon. They went down there by car. This is a different enterprise here. Again to emphasize the injuries appear to be minor but they are still checking on the condition of this truck driver with the dump truck or trash truck where they collided in crozet, virginia. Jon were talking about a special train carrying republican members of congress. We believe members of the house as well as some senators, who were on board this special amtrak train. Now the convenience of it would have been pretty significant. Chad was talking about the fact that sometimes they have used motorcades to get to their retreats. This would have allowed them to walk or take a cab to Union Station, hop on board the amtrak train and ride the rails all the way to the door of the greenbriar resort, a huge, classy, oldfashioned hotel in the mountains of West Virginia where people used to go to escape the heat of the lowlying country. It is owned by the family of West Virginia governor jim justice who switched his affiliation from the democratic to the Republican Party not too long ago. Were seeing on screen what appears to be the trash truck having been plowed into by the locomotive of that amtrak train and the truck was then deposited there on the hillside. You can see the pine trees and the slope in the background. Were getting into the mountains of West Virginia there. From that dirt skid mark did a lot of plowing through the grassy area. A couple of footnotes as well. They do this at the greenbriar. There is a train stop at the resort. A rather fancy resort. My colleague from fox news radio indicates to me that the greenbriar was once owned by csx and thats one of the reasons that there is a train stop on that at that location. There is a little history of incidents of going to these retreats. Just last year there was an incident where democrats were going to their retreat which was in maryland and what happened is that they were going by bus. They were on i270 and i70 in Northern Maryland and there was a very bad accident. I believe it was a fatal accident that the whole motorcade came upon. Senators in that case, Democratic Senators were not injured but they have a lot of emergency and First Responders, Police Officers who jumped in there as well. Im getting just one other nugget here of information. Again, all the sources who im hearing from in the past couple of minutes indicate that most of the members seem to be well and that these injuries are minor. The main concern is about the driver of this dump truck. Melissa if you wouldnt mind standing by for a second. We want to bring in mike emanuel right now chief Congressional Correspondent joining us. I heard from a source who said House Speaker paul ryan is on the train and he is fine. And so the sources ive talked to say the lawmakers seem to be doing okay. They are checking to make sure that all of them are okay. But a key nugget update there is that the House Speaker is on that train, was not injured in this crash with the dump truck near charlottesville, virginia. And so basically right now an assessment is underway trying to make sure that all the folks on the train are okay. As chad mentioned and as weve been talking about, not clear the injuries to the dump truck driver at this point but there is an assessment being made of just how many injuries, if there were injuries, whether theyre simply minor injuries for folks who were on the train at this hour. Melissa all right, mike, stand by for one second. Amtrak released a statement containing good news. An amtrak train came into contact with a vehicle that was on the tracks at 11 20 a. M. In crozet, virginia, no reported injuries to passengers or crew members. Local Law Enforcement is investigating the incident and crews are inspecting the equipment for damage. The train originated in washington, d. C. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available. So good news there. Melissa mike, can you still hear us . I was wondering were they all on the same train . I know the train was especially chartered for this purpose. But it also doesnt seem logical you would put all gop members on the same train. Good question. I know some staffers have driven themselves separately. Some of the staffers ive been in touch with said they were in cars riding along as the lawmakers were on the train. So its not entirely clear to me that all of the members are on the train. I know i saw republican senator jim inhoff of oklahoma earlier. He was still here on capitol hill. It is not entirely clear the entire membership of republicans are on that train and something were checking out at the moment. Jon President Trump is in a meeting with his National Security team and scheduled to go to the gop retreat. But we understand that he is aware of the incident according to his press secretary sarah sanders. Also we understand in a tweet from representative greg walden. He said were fine. Members with medical training are assisting the drivers of the truck and we believe that to be the truck in this image right here. You can kind of see it appears to be a tractor trailer with the nose of the tractor pointing straight at the camera lens an the trailer behind it. At any rate its in bad shape and apparently the driver or drivers not in very good shape, either. Melissa there are some other pictures coming in from the scene. We have this one on the screen but on social media you can see other pictures coming by as well and the train looks largely not disrupted as opposed to the garbage truck that was there and knocked out of the way. You can see it from a couple different angles. The picture we have here doesnt include the train. We have to vet what we can show you. It seems like the damage to the train was nothing like that garbage truck. Here is the location you can see there. Jon it is possible that because it was a specially chartered train, that maybe its a stretch of rail that doesnt get a whole lot of use and perhaps that crew was kind of on the track maybe meandering because they never see trains go by there. Thats a supposition on my part. This was a specially chartered amtrak train heading from Union Station all the way to the greenbriar resort in West Virginia which chad has told us does have rail service directly at the hotels doorstep because it was built by a railroad. Our mike emanuel joins us with mike john, i saw a we did the from oklahoma senator James Langford that said our train heading from the g. O. P. In West Virginia has been involved in an accident. I am safe but First Responders are treating minor injuries on the train and treating the truck driver. Senator langford adds that he is praying for those who have been injured in this accident. So a brief update there. It sounds like those who are on the train that may have been hurt suffered some minor injuries. But just an update there from the oklahoma senator James Langford, tweeting from the train about this incident. Melissa all right. Mike emanuel, thank you so much. I want to switch back to our own chad pergram senior capitol hill produce his or her has more information now, chad . Yeah, to give you context here. Not all members go to this retreat. There were some members that didnt even know they were taking the train because they were going to drive them over by bus. I spoke with congressman Brian Fitzpatrick last night. He was unaware this was after the president s speech that they were going to be taking the train up. I have just heard from republican congressman Blake Farenthold from texas who indicates to me that he and his wife debby were not on the train and they were driving to the retreat. That kind of shows you the context that some people go on their own. I have been told here by the office of congressman lloyd smucker, a republican freshman from pennsylvania that he was not on board the train that was in the collision. He is attending the retreat, but he went home to lancaster, pennsylvania first before heading to West Virginia separately this morning. So its a mix of people who are on that train. Youre going to have some aides. You are going to have some spouses. You are going to have security officials. You are certainly going to have members. Its a combination of people who is there. We are trying to get a sense of who all was on that train because not everybody goes. You know, another thing to know about the greenbrier, you know, this was the famous home of the secret bunker during the cold war that was never used. The idea that they would evacuate congress, you know, with all these underground complexes to keep continuity of government at this bunker under the greenbrier if there was ever a threat to washington, d. C. And they had to, you know, quickly evacuate the leadership in washington to a safe place if we were under a Nuclear Attack or Something Like that. There was even a facility where they could house and conduct business for the house and senate. You know, they had these gigantic 3 feet and 4 feet walls inside these rooms the size of like a Walmart Super store and bunk beds. Melissa okay. Chad, we are going to interrupt you for a second and wrap up for this hour. Thank you so much for joining us. We are going to have continuing coverage without question. Jon outnumbered starts right now. Harris we will pick up our continuing coverage now of the train crash thats happened in virginia. Just outside of charlottesville. And we do know that there are members of the Republican Party who are on their way to a g. O. P. Retreat in West Virginia. We are told that there are minor injuries, just some bumps and bruises and whatnot on the train for the most part. The worst of the injuries that we are hearing happened to a driver of a dump truck that apparently was on the tracks when this train was coming in. We have got congressman mark walker on the phone with us now. And apparently was on the train at the time. Can you talk with us now . Yes, i can. I am currently on the
