00:00There is a good deal of press assembling outside this home as people try to figure out exactly what and

00:09how this all happened.

00:11NCNN's Brian Stelter spoke with anchor Jim Sciutto about President Trump's message right after the attack.

00:20We should know because prior to this whole event, there was concern about the president coming to this event for

00:26the first time and attacking the media.

00:31Now, events take a different turn, a violent turn, and the president had a different kind of message.

00:35A very different message, a message actually of unity and a message that I think brought the temperature down.

00:42It was a message that tried to cool things as opposed to intensify or heat things up.

00:48And that's important to note because this president, given 10 years of rhetoric against the media in the past year,

00:54his administration taking many actions to investigate and sue and take action against the media,

00:58he very well could have immediately turned around and tried to blame the press.

01:03He could have immediately tried to claim that the press was out to get him.

01:06Now, in this case, with the suspect, we don't know what he was thinking.

01:10We don't know if this event was just a crazy magnet, and that's what happened with this magnet.

01:14We don't know if he was there trying to shoot at journalists or trying to shoot at the president.

01:18That's key.

01:19We do not know his target, as the police said.

01:21That will be part of the investigation.

01:23The answer is, plural, because he brought multiple knives and multiple guns.

01:26So we don't know.

01:27But you imagine a world where the American president could have very easily tried to make a bad situation even

01:32worse,

01:33and he did not choose to do that at all.

01:35In fact, he invited the press corps to run back to the White House for a press conference.

01:39And so I think that was a very American gesture, a very American statement.

01:43And it reminds me, Jim, we're talking to viewers all around the world right now,

01:47for all of the attacks against the press in America, for all of Trump's nastiness toward the media,

01:52the U.S. is still the envy of many other countries.

01:55The press here is still remarkably free.

01:57We are so protected by the First Amendment.

02:00And, you know, so it makes me think about American exceptionalism,

02:03but then it also makes me think about American exceptionalism in one other way,

02:06and that is the degree of gun violence in this country that is so unlike others, right?

02:11What you and I went through tonight, which was very mild compared to what so many other Americans have experienced,

02:16hundreds of thousands, millions at this point, being put under lockdowns,

02:20being told there's an active shooter, being told there's a threat in their school or in their mall or in

02:25their town.

02:26This is, unfortunately, very normal in America.

02:29For us, it's unusual tonight,

02:31but what's one of the strange things about America is how normal this is now.

02:36I was talking to some European diplomats who were in the room as well,

02:40and they were conveying that to me.

02:41Were they? Yeah.

02:42About how, and one of them was saying, you know,

02:45how at the RNC convention, there was a shooting outside that,

02:50this diplomat had witnessed as well.

02:53So, listen, as an American, you and I witnessed this,

02:57and I'm sure people watching here, sadly, have witnessed or experienced shootings like this before.

03:03Right, right.

03:03Like a lot of them, you begin with a moment of disbelief.

03:08Yes.

03:08Right?

03:08Because invariably, how many shootings have you and I covered where when you speak to eyewitnesses,

03:13they will say when they heard the first shots,

03:14I thought it was firecrackers or a backfiring car?

03:18Because your mind doesn't want to believe that it's gunshot.

03:20I had the same reaction.

03:21I was like, pop, pop, pop.

03:23You know, was that wine glasses falling off a tray, right?

03:25That's what I thought.

03:26You know, what was it?

03:26You know, but, of course, it was gunfire.

03:28When I was under the tables, I was over with some NBC folks trying to talk to sources,

03:33and I was talking to people there where all of a sudden we're under the table.

03:36And what was worrisome to me was there were multiple waves of security officers coming into the room.

03:40After the initial.

03:42After the initial moment, after the president was brought out,

03:45you had more officers coming in, climbing over chairs, climbing over tables.

03:49In some cases, they were there to help the folks that had hurt their foot, hurt their leg, but fallen

03:54over.

03:54But also, they were there.

03:56We didn't know what they were there doing.

03:57You know, we didn't know what they were there for in those moments.

03:58So it became more stressful for people as the, it must have been about two minutes.

04:03I'm not sure how long it was when people were hiding under tables.

04:06But I'll never forget what that was like to see people, including, by the way, there were some kids.

04:10You know, some journalists, some politicos had brought their children.

04:13You know, there were scholarship winners for this event.

04:15You know, what we should have been talking about tonight were the award winners from CNN

04:19and the Wall Street Journal and their outlets for their work cover in the White House.

04:22And then hopefully a great performance by a mentalist.

04:26And instead, to me, it's a reminder that we have this incredibly valuable First Amendment,

04:30and it's been upheld tonight.

04:32But then we have this Second Amendment that creates a space for so many threats like tonight's.

04:38We are joined now to delve deeper into some of those security questions

04:42by CNN Senior National Security Analyst Julia Kimes,

04:44served a long time in the Department of Homeland Security.

04:46Julia, good to have you.

04:49Thanks for having me.

04:50You know, often in the wake of events like this, you know, we'll ask that question.

04:55Can you ever do an event like this in a place like this again?

05:00And I find that sometimes in my experience, you know, those questions get asked a bit to her.

05:04I mean, I said this a short time ago, after the Butler Hill assassination attempt,

05:08there was a question, can Trump have big public rallies again, right?

05:12And he has.

05:13I mean, a challenge certainly for Secret Service.

05:16Is it clear to you that there was something wrong with the way security was done here

05:22that has to be changed dramatically going forward for events like this?

05:27Or, you know, is this something that you can add some security

05:32or that the security worked as best as it could under these circumstances, et cetera?

05:37So I looked at this in sort of three different ways.

05:41The first is that there is always risk in society, in particular if you're a president.

05:47And the president acknowledged that in his statement.

05:50So, you know, you're going to have higher risk incidents.

05:53The second piece is we who do this kind of work never really talk about safe.

05:58We just talk about risk reduction.

06:00Can you make things safer?

06:02And that's where my questions go to right now is just sort of, you know,

06:06what was the safety and security apparatus the same as it had been in the past?

06:14Did it differ?

06:15Because you're starting to hear anecdotes of people thinking that it was a little bit more open

06:19than it had in years before.

06:20The third piece is, given the risk and given that you can't make things perfectly safe,

06:27does in the future, do you want to consider or do they want to consider sort of larger perimeters

06:32for events like this?

06:34That would include controlling who stays there or having an understanding of who stays there.

06:39If that seems to be the gap right now, if he had access to the hotel,

06:44was walking around essentially freely, at least around the security perimeter,

06:49that's something you'd want to tighten up.

06:51So look, I never say something's good or bad or people did good or bad just a few hours after

06:57the incident.

06:58But those are the questions that any legitimate and thorough review of what happened should consider.

07:05Wakey, wakey.

07:07What's going on?

07:09Not much.

07:10Having a cup of tea and curious about these.

07:14Jason Siegel and Samara Weaving are plotting partners in Over Your Dead Body.

07:18You're going to knock me unconscious?

07:21Tie me to the bag of rocks you hit the boat?

07:24Sink me to the bottom of the lake?

07:26Because all you do is criticize me!

07:28In your stupid accent, it's like British cross with the devil!

07:32Well, your plan sucks!

07:34Your plan is to just shoot me?

07:37I was being nice about it.

07:39You would have been unconscious.

07:40Oh, okay.

07:41Because I am considerate!

07:43Oh my god!

07:44Please stop it!

07:45Then a home invasion complicates things further.

07:48Siegel says he was drawn to the film's metaphor.

07:51Going through a really tough time in a marriage or marriage counseling where you start out as enemies and wanting

07:56to kill each other.

07:57And then there's a big explosion.

07:59Then you realize, oh, the only way we're going to get out of here is together and having to work

08:03together against a common enemy.

08:04Oh my god, there's so much blood!

08:06Heaven has another angel!

08:07Don't walk into the light!

08:08Come down from heaven and savor!

08:10The scenes were just making me laugh when I read them, but also felt very real and honest.

08:18And then getting to work alongside Jason and just being able to play in that space was really, really fun

08:27and rewarding for me.

08:28In a relationship, the key is finding ways to keep things fresh.

08:34In Hollywood, I'm David Daniel.

08:56I don't ever slow up.

08:58No, I don't take shit.

08:59I got no love for the faith is if you want to play tough and want to hate this, I'll

09:04always show up and make a statement.

09:07I don't ever slow up.

09:08No, I don't take shit.

09:09I got no love for the faith is if you want to play tough and want to hate this, I'll

09:15always show up and make a statement.

09:27Everything I do is so instinctive.

09:28All right.

09:55Joining me now, CNN's Chief White House Correspondent, Caitlin Collins, who, like myself, was in the room as this happened.

10:01And Caitlin, this is now, if I have it correctly, the third shooting event in and around, of course, we

10:09had Butler, Pennsylvania, another attempted shooter down in Florida.

10:14And this, you speak to the president frequently. How has he responded to this?

10:22I mean, Jim, he was actually surprisingly calm when he came out here to the briefing room tonight and was

10:27giving us those updates.

10:28I mean, he was the one who confirmed the suspect had been apprehended after there had been some confusion about

10:33whether or not the suspect had been shot and killed, if he was arrested, what had happened.

10:37The president confirmed that earlier and then came out of the briefing flanked by his top two officials, the deputy

10:41attorney general, who's the acting attorney general, Todd Blanche, and the FBI director, Cash Patel, to provide that update.

10:47As they say, warrants are going out. They are searching the suspect's apartment, that they are fully engaged in, obviously,

10:53all the aspects of this investigation.

10:56And as the president himself was talking about it, what it was like, Jim, to be inside that room, because

11:00I had eyes on the president as we were watching.

11:03I mean, it was a remarkable moment. There was no programming going on, as you know.

11:06We were seated at our tables, and then, obviously, Secret Service and law enforcement rushed into the room in a

11:12way that I have never seen in my life, coming down the main aisle.

11:16And in that time, though, the president was still on stage for another 20 seconds, probably, because I looked over.

11:22He and the first lady were speaking to Oz, the mentalist, who was supposed to be the entertainment during tonight's

11:27show.

11:28And then, obviously, they were rushed off stage. We saw the vice president rush off.

11:31It took a little bit, though, before other cabinet secretaries were removed from the room.

11:35I could see the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson. I could see the Health Secretary, RFK Jr., before he was taken

11:40out by security.

11:41The Education Secretary was literally seated right next to me during the dinner and was captured on the floor with

11:47us as we were essentially waiting to see, was the threat clear?

11:51And so, when we were here in the briefing room tonight, obviously, as you noted, Jim, the president is no

11:55stranger to this, given he himself has been the target of two assassination attempts.

12:01And I asked the president whether or not his team that was here tonight had heard of any potential warnings

12:06or concerns of threats before the dinner took place.

12:12Were you aware of any threats? Was your team aware of any threats beforehand? And do you believe you were

12:17the target of this tonight?

12:19I guess. I mean, these people, they're crazy. They're crazy. And, you know, you never know.

12:24He was very far away from me. He had to go through a lot.

12:27You know, we had resources all over. We had resources sitting at tables, literally, in disguise, sitting maybe at your

12:36table. Who knows?

12:36But we had people all over the room, so he had a long way to go. That was really a

12:41first line of defense, and they got him.

12:44And they really, you know, they acted incredibly.

12:46No, we have no, we've had no, there was no notification. We had no idea.

12:52The president saying there, there was no notification ahead of time in terms of threats to him.

12:57Obviously, he is someone who has an intense amount of security around him wherever he is.
