The two leaders also got in some golf course diplomacy. President trump emphasize the closeness of the u. S. Japanese alliance and warned hostile regimes not to underestimate the resolve of america. John roberts is reporting. What was the president s reaction to the deadly shooting in texas . Good monday morning to you from tokyo. The president is expected to speak sometime in the next ten or 15 minutes. This was scheduled for 9 05 a. M. Here in tokyo which would put it in a couple minutes from now but these things run a little late. The president has been up with the 14 hour time change for quite a while monitoring the situation. The president was briefed several times on this and spoke with greg abbott who you just heard from in that press conference pretty is taking to twitter to write may god be with the people of texas. The fbi and lawenforcement are on the scene. I monitoring the situation from japan. We also heard from Vice President pence who wrote on twitter, we send prayers to the victims of their families in texas. We grieve with you and stand with resolve against evil. Thank you to the First Responders and from first daughter ivanka trump who had been here in japan writing, god bless the people of Sutherland Springs texas. Our countries hearts are breaking. We love and are with you. The president will be spending much of today with japanese Prime Minister and you mentioned they spent time together yesterday at lunch and dinner and played nine holes of golf. No golf for the president today. It will be all business. The president will meet with the emperor at the royal palace today and the president will also be meeting with family members of japanese citizens who were abducted by north korea. Clearly not north korea will be very high on the president s agenda today and throughout this five nation asian trip which will last until next tuesday. The president goes from here to seoul north korea. They are going to try to have china do more to reign in north korea and then he will be at the aipac conference to try to get them on board with north korea and then hes off to manila and the philippines. Again meeting with a number of leaders he hopes to reign in north korea. He will talk a lot about trade. The u. S. Has trade deficits with all five nations he is visiting. The biggest, china, and here in japan as well. Yesterday the president , when he was about to embark for dinner, he said they were going to talk trade and you can bet those talks will be cordial and frank as well. We will bring it to you live from tokyo for more on this we bring in james jeffrey. We bring in a distinguished fellow from the washington institute. Thanks for being with us. Thank you for having me. What you expect to hear from the president. Three things. He will talk about north korea because thats the most important thing about this long and important trip, second, rebuilding our alliances in the region, he is seeing leaders in vietnam, philippines, korea and japan, three are former allies of ours. It now is an informal ally. Dealing with china more generally third, that has a trade aspect and security aspect and an overall, how we deal with a country that is trying to become a. Competitor to the United States. Those are the three things he has to deal with. Ambassador, a key challenge is establishing and improving on relationships with these leaders to achieve these goals. Exactly. He has good relationships with the key leaders, japan and china, and okay with the others. South korean president moon is a bit reluctant to embrace President Trump, but moon has done all the right things in terms of accepting american air Defense Systems and i think he will be a solid ally overtime. But china poses the biggest challenge for the president. Absolutely. First and most romantically to deal with north korea. China holds the key to the solution of this problem of north korea being able to strike the u. S. With their missiles. Whether china wants to solve it or not, we dont know. Its a question of how do we deal with the china that will have an economy, possibly larger than ours and a military force that can balance us in the region over the next ten or 20 years. A lot of breaking news. We will cut it there. We appreciate your time. Thank you very much. Back to our top story, a sunday service shattered by gunfire. Alone attacker enters a small texas church and starts shooting. It happened in Sutherland Springs about 30 miles south of san antonio. Tony six people killed, many wounded. The ages of the victims, 5 72. The gunmen opened fire inside First Baptist church and more gunfire when he walked outside. This is the Deadliest Church shooting in the United States in almost 20 years. The worst in Texas History and this took place in a town of less than 400 residents. Brian joins us from new york city with more. What have we learned, if anything about the shooter so far. We can confirm the shooter, based on your reporting, he is devon kelly, a 26yearold white male who lives outside san antonio. We know this about how the events happen taste on this press conference. The number dead, 26. The number wounded 20. The ages range from five and 272 including a pregnant woman and a 14yearold daughter of the pastor emma frank pomeroy. The pastor was not in church today. At 11 20 a. M. , a man dressed in black, this shooter, devon kelly showed up at the gas station at 11 20 a. M. And dressed in all black with Tactical Gear and a rifle, walked into the church. Before he started walking and he shot two people outside the church, walked into the church,s shot 23 others and the 26 person died while being treated at the hospital. The suspect came out, the shooter, im sorry, came out of the church and was engaged by a local resident. In that case he dropped the rifle, got into a vehicle and that is when his vehicle came off the road and he either died from a selfinflicted wound or a gunshot from police. The police have not said how he died. All of this as the fact of the matter is you have a Small Community of less than 400 people, a church, the First Baptist church in Sutherland Springs that has about 50 people that attend the services daily. Now the sheriff talking about the horrific detail of the fact that these family members are now in a Community Center waiting to hear whether or not their loved ones are among the victims. Take a listen to what the sheriff said during the press conference. We dont know names of any of the victims because we are still trying to work the crime scene. As we get the names we will contact the family members and let them know what we have. At this time, we dont have any name 70 of the victims. Again, 20 people wounded. Listen to some of the witnesses that heard this shooting as well as a pastor from a nearby church. Ive been going to this church since i was kneehigh to a duck. Its very tragic. Im in the dark as everyone. I changed my mind on whether or not to go to church today and so did my daughter. I was preaching down the road. It was probably around 11 or 1115. We have a deputy and some other people in our church and we got a call that there was an active shooter at First Baptist church. Those First Responders immediately left our church to come down to help. There were multiple weapons found in this vehicle. Devon patrick kelly, dressed in all black, he had a bulletproof vest, he was at a gas station across from this First Baptist church, walked in, clearly with the full intention of walking in and shooting people and gunning people down, and tragically, thats what he did. We have 26 people dead, 20 wounded, they are being treated at hospital nearby as well as Level One Trauma Centers in san antonio. Some airlifted, some transported by ambulance. Its too early to tell about the motive, but six hours after the shooting, there are families i havent even identified bodies. This is a crime scene and there are multiple crime scenes. A tragic situation for these families at the Community Senator with grief counselors as they find out where the loved ones are. It sounds like the citizen engaged the suspect outside and gave chase and police werent sure if it was the citizen that killed the suspect when he lost control of the vehicle and iran off the road or whether the suspect killed himself. We want to get more on all of this from bernard, former special agent in charge of the atf. Bernard, thanks for being with us. Im sorry to be here. We would appreciate your insight on this. Im wondering if you have any idea why someone would target a church. Its a target of opportunity. The places of worship have been victimized both in church arson and shooting events. This is nothing new, but the escalation of shooting events nationally is obviously a great concern. The fact that Law Enforcement does so much training for the active Shooter Event and theyve closed Response Time to almost nothing, but it still that gap that gives advantage to someone whos determined to do something as terrific of this. We have a name on the shooter. There are reports he may have been dishonorably discharged from the air force. Thats not confirmed. Theres reports he had posed with an ar15 on facebook not long ago. Does any of that mean anything to you . Have we learned anything of significance about this guy . One of the things we all need context when we hear something as horrible of this. Obviously, these investigators and the people involved are going to go through every bit of history. His time, up to the location, what happened, what was his online profile, everything to paint a picture for that purpose and also to see, likely in this chance, if someone else was involved. In terms of motive or ideology or reason, its irrelevant to the people who are suffering with the loss of family members. Absolutely. While we may learn more about shooters each time they do Something Like this, it doesnt seem to stop the next guy from doing this. Im fearful that putting our moment by moment life online and seeking adoration and the ego based profile, for many people. Bernard, im gonna stop you here and i want to pause for a wobreak and i want to bring munin you back on the other side so stick with us. At planters we know how to throw a remarkable holiday party. Just serve classy snacks and be a gracious host, no matter who shows up. Do you like nuts . Think of all the things ithat think these days. Businesses are thinking. Factories are thinking. Even your toaster is thinking. Honey, clive owens in our kitchen. Im leaving. Oh never mind, hes leaving. But what if a business could turn all that thinking. Thinking. Endless thinking into doing . To make better decisions. Make a difference. Make the future. Not next week while you think about it a little more. But right now. Is there a company that can help you do all that . I can think of one. More now on our top story. A mass shooting at the First Baptist church in sutherland texas, where a lone gunman opened fire outside and inside the Church Killing at least 26 people, wounding more. He was later found dead inside his vehicle after a short car chase. The governor of texas took a short time ago. Heres what he had to say. As governor, i asked for every mom and dad at home tonight, that you put your arm around her kid and give your kid a big hug and let them know how much you love them, knowing that we support each other. Tell your friend in your neighbor that you support them and you will work with them and very proud of the way we have so many people working together to respond to this. For more on this lets get back to bernard, former special agent in charge of the atf. We are so worried about the threat from Foreign Terrorists. What about the threat from home grown shooters. Is it worse . We obviously have a societal issue thats growing in intensity and frequency. Its an examination for just a general threat assessment of any facility that houses a group of people, how we assess that risk. Even because lawenforcement time is incredibly short to an active shooter, theres a little. Of time they take advantage of. I think its worthy of examining a response and an answer for this in time for the future as well. What about whats learned from the other shooters. How can that help prevent another attack. How we assemble as groups and when people telegraphed their punches in terms of their Online Presence in the things they say in the pictures they take, theres so much emphasis on all of us as citizens to report things when people act disturbing or unusual, we have to Pay Attention to that. We appreciate your time tonight. The president of the United States is now speaking in japan. Lets listen. Let me begin today by addressing the horrific shooting in texas. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families of todays horrible attack. This act of evil occurred as the victims and their families were in their place of sacred worship. We cannot put into words the pain and grief we all feel and we cannot begin to imagine the suffering of those who lost the ones they love. In dark times, and these are dark times, americans do what they do best, we pull together. We join hands, we lock arms, and through the tears, and through the sadness we stand strong, oh so strong. My administration will provide its full support to the great state of texas and all local authorities investigating this horrible crime. I have spoken just a few minutes ago with Governor Abbott and we offer our thanks to the First Responders, the fbi, all of the many people involved, both federal and otherwise. Ultimately they stopped the suspect and rendered immediate lifesaving aid to certain victims of the shooting. I will continue to follow the developments closely. All of america is praying to god to help the wounded and the families of the victims. We will never ever leave their side, ever. With that being said, we are here today in japan with one of our closest and most cherished allies. Through bad times and good times, through rain and through shine, i want to thank. [inaudible] [inaudible] they made a lasting impression on me. We apologize for the signal issue out of japan. We will bring you right back to President Trump as he continues speaking, if and when the signal clears up. He weighed in on this ongoing situation in texas. We will continue to cover that. Please stay tuned to fox news for continuing coverage of the shooting. Im rick leventhal, in new york.

He is a terrific person, for his dedication to advancing women in the workforce, and i share his commitment to empowering women in business and in all professions. This morning, i am pleased to have an opportunity to discuss how we can strengthen and improve the economic ties between the United States and japan. I have to say, for the past many decades, japan has been winning. You do know that.

But, its also a market like no other, by far the biggest market in the world. Its numbers are phenomenal since november 8, election day, unemployment is at a 17 year lo low. Weve gotten almost 2 million more people in the workforce and just that short time. I have reduced regulations, terrifically, if i do say so myself, but at a level that nobody else has ever done.
