Attempt. Secret service and Police Officers rushed to the scene. They cleared that area and began an investigation. At one point, they found the vehicle he was driving in a couple blocks away from the white house. They used a bomb squad to check out the vehicle to make sure there was no problem with that vehicle. We do know there was an alabama plate on that vehicle before it was ultimately removed. And to answer your question, we dont know a whole lot about this individual other than hes a man. Secret service has identified him but they have not released that identity untail they can identify his next of kin. Nobody in the white house was in danger although the shooting took place hundreds of feet away from the front door of the white house. Of course, there was a barrier between where this man is and the white house. A large fence and then a bike rack, but still, a very scary moment. The president and the first lady not in the white house at the time. They were in florida. They have
Important issue. Frankly, what the president ought to do working with congress and outside groups, we ought to modernize the way in which we determine whether trade agreements are being violated. Plus, turbulence in the white house. The drama is there, but that is how the president makes decisions, and that process, while different, has gotten to good results. The problem is the president has been ill served in my view by staff. John kelly to me has created order out of chaos initially. Hes kind of backsliding now, but i think john kelly is the right guy to continue helping the president. Cnn newsroom starts now. Hello, everyone. Thank you so much for joining me this sunday. Im fredricka whitfield. After a chaotic week in the west wing, the white house looks to push reset with plans to tackle some big controversial issues. This week the president is said to put new tariffs on steel and aluminum. The move, which has drawn strict criticism by his own party and americas closest allies, is
Rock singer jimi hendrix died today in london, according to a Police Source from an overdose of drugs. Janis joplin was found dead last night. The cause of death was said to be an overdose of drugs. Jim morrison, the lead singer for the doors, a rock music group, is dead. He was 27. The early years of the 70s are sad in music. Because you lose people. And you lose the beatles. The small gathering on saville row is only the beginning. The event so momentous that historians may someday view it as a landmark in the decline of the british empire. The beatles are breaking up. It was a death for a lot of people. Rock n roll as we understood it in the 60s, are no longer with us. Being without the beatles never. And i wonder what im doing here with no drummers and no nothing like that. You might know i lost my old band or i left it. Imagine theres no heaven its easy if you try for so long, you kind of waited for the next beatles album to see where music was going. And we just hoped that the mu
Listen to it. Oh, they know when it hits the bottom, it will be 1990, goodbye to the 80s. Ten, nine, eight eight, eight, eight oh, will this horrible year never end . When the 90s began, we started to see a lot of experimentation. And the simpsons i think in some senses was inspired by not necessarily hatred of television, but a distrust of a lot of the ways in which television was talking to us. Tv respects me. It laughs with me. Not at me. Youre stupid. Doh i think the sitcoms of the 80s were such a warm, safe, humor. I love you guys. The kids, they listen to the rap music, which gives them the brain damage. And i think there was a real yearning for another type of humor. We were able to spoof fatherhood what a bad father. Which at the time, and i stress at the time, was bill cosby as the shining example. Did you ever know that youre my hero the stuff they got away with because its a cartoon. The father strangling the child. Why you little we are going to keep on trying to strengthen
President trump declassifies that explosive memo written by republicans on the House Intelligence Committee. The memo released to the public over the objections of the president s own fbi director and justice officials. Im jim sciutto. And im pamela brown, the partisan memo from the committee chaired by former Trump Transition Team member devin nunes alleges serious abuses by the fbi of the foreign Intelligence Surveillance act. Democrats say its misleading that omits key facts and accuse republicans of using this memo to try to undermine special counsel Robert Muellers russia investigation. The big question tonight will the president use the memo to fire Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein always hanging over there. It is. The white house came out and said thats not under consideration but certainly raises the question, could that trigger, if Rod Rosenstein could that trigger the worst constitutional crisis since president nixons saturday night massacre. A lot of parallel drawn to
