us. >> everybody out, right now, go back, everybody into the park. right now, everybody into the park. >> reporter: two incidents at the white house within 24 hours, raising serious questions about security. friday night, the man captured on this cell phone video not only scaled the fence in front of 1600 pennsylvania avenue, he ran up to the building and barged through the front door. he's been identified as 42-year-old omar gonzalez. >> they're going to have to do something with the fence, even if it's something as simple as curving the bars over the pennsylvania avenue side which would make it harder to scale. remember, time buys you options, and right now they don't have time. you scale the fence, you're almost right at the door. >> everybody get back! everybody get back! >> reporter: secret services yelled at gpz to stop, but they didn't shoot. according to a law enforcement official at the time, he didn't appear to be carrying anything and may have been memontally disturbed. according to a secret service affidavit gonzalez was carrying
5:02 am
a deadly or dangerous we possible, a folding knife like this one in his pants pocket. also according to the affidavit gonzalez told a secret service agent that quote he was concerned the atmosphere was collapsing and needed to get the information to the president. the incident happened just four minutes after the first family had left the white house grounds for the weekend. once he got inside officers apprehended gonzalez. an ambulance took him to george washington university medical center for evaluation. "the washington post" is reporting that gonzalez's attorney said in court he had served 18 years in the military, including three tours in iraq. "the washington post" is also reporting that no canine teams were released to chase down the intruder, as would be standard procedure. >> i've been there for hundreds of fence jumpers, and they never make it even close. there's just multiple layers of security. there was a failure here. >> reporter: and on saturday a second security incident at the white house. the secret service says a new jersey man failed to stop at an
5:03 am
entrance to the white house complex while driving his car. the man identified as kevin carr was arrested and charged with unlawful entry. that incident happened at the entrance at 15th and e streets. the secret service says carr did not stop when he was ordered to do, so then got out of his vehicle and refused to leave. the "new york times" quotes secret service spokesman ed donovan as saying that car tried to gain access to a separate white house location on foot a short time earlier. in the immediate aftermath of the breach on friday night, the secret service stepped up its patrols and surveillance in front of the white house. they have also ordered a review of that incident and are reviewing all of their protocols to make sure they work, christi and victor >> erin mcpike, thank you so much. ronald kesler joins us from washington, the author of "in the president's secret service." it's good to have you with us. >> great to be with you. my latest book is the first
5:04 am
family detail which goes into many more examples of corner cutting and laxes by the secret service. this is really just part of a pattern of laxness. you saw it when the secret service let the cup nool the state dinner and a third story i broke and you had the agents hiring prostitutes in colombia, again a story that i broke. the fbi is horrified at this situation and is laughing at the coverup the secret service is putting out as well as former agents who go on tv saying nothing could be done, he didn't seem to have a knife. the agents recall under order to shoot anybody who threatens the president. this was a situation you don't wait to see if once he gets in the white house he has wmd to release or bomb to release. you take him out, if you don't
5:05 am
get him with a dog, then you shoot him. >> here's the question, why is this happening? you believe these aren't just two mistakes. you call them dangerously lax. what has changed with the secret service n your opinion? >> well, this corner-cutting again in 2003 when the department of homeland security took over and in my book "the first family detail" i reveal dozens of other examples ranging from letting people into events without magnetometer or metal detection screening, its it's like letting people into an airplane without metal detection screening, not keeping up to date with the latest firearms, imcysting on physical fitness and firearms requalifying standards and in this latest book i reveal that secret service let bradley cooper and his suv into the secure area in front of the washington hilton when obama spoke at the white house correspondents dinner, even though only secret service vehicles are allowed in and have to be screened, because
5:06 am
explosives could be attached underneath. >> so what's the ific? should there be an overhaul or are there individuals who should be picked out and changed? >> sure. over and over again whenever these scandals erupt, president obama says i have confidence in the secret service. that calls into question his judgment as commander in chief because it's his life that's at stake and the life of his own family and it's obvious to any of us who have any common sense that there's something wrong here. what needs to be done is obama needs to replace the current director who is a clone of the previous director, mark sullivan, who actually ordered agents at the white house protecting the president to protect his own assistant in southern maryland. obama needs to replace this current director with someone from the outside, such as bob muller was when he took over the fbi to change this culture of coverup and laxness, which you know, just is endemic. >> a lot of people are calling
5:07 am
for changes and the secret service says there will be some there at the white house. ronald kesler, it's good to have you with us this morning >> thank you. the wife of a bridish aide worker is pleading now isis to spare her husband's life. >> the trips terrorists are threatening to kill alan henning. others are urging let him go. will isis listen? hundreds of law enforcement officers hunting for an abused cop killer. the search for a man described as a self-taught survivalist. . so many of these men and women have, have sacrificed so much. through soldiers to summits, wells fargo supports our veterans by working together to climb mount whitney, these heroes begin their journey of healing. the wounds that you can't see, being with a team helps. you know if they can do it you can do it. step by step, little by little, we can do a lot. because small is huge.

so good to have you here on "new day." we want to get you caught up on the news with the morning read. >> police have identified the man seen on two surveillance tapes with missing university virginia student hannah graham. jesse matthew was at the apartment they searched on friday. >> they believe he was the last person to see graham before she vanished last weekend. he has not been named a suspect. up to 400 officers in pens pebs are searching for an accused cop killer. police appear to be closing in on the cop killer in the pocono mountains but there's been no

credible sighting of him since friday night. in business general motors is recalling more than 200,000 cars this morning the parking break arm in the cadillac xts and chevrolet impala. the glitch could cause excessive heat and spark a fire. remember, gm's already recalled nearly 30 million vehicles this year. sports now and it's game day football fans. today the minnesota vikings travel to new orleans to battle out with the saints, but they're going to have to do it without star running back adrian peterson. he's been banned from it all team activities after being indicted on a felony child abuse charge. >> and we're thinking of all of you in hard-hit texas where you're bracing for more heavy rain as if you could take anymore. officials issued a number of flood warnings in the state. recent rain left cities like houston and parts of west texas just drenched. look at this mail truck left stranded, half submerged underwater. peaceful, selfless, a father of two who left his home in

northern england to go to syria, and this was on a mission of mercy. >> now he's in the hands of isis and they're threatening to kill him. this morning the wife of alan henning is begging isis to spare her husband's life. barbara henning sent the terrorists a message asking isis to contact her before it's too late, leading british imams and close friends of henning are asking icise to free him. >> karl penhaul joins from us london. we know the uk foreign office released barbara henning's statement. is there a significance in that? >> well there certainly is if you look at the wording of that statement, christi. it's a very carefully worded statement, designed not to offend isis, not to condemn them in any way but to appeal to their humanity. we saw the same kind of tactic tried by steven sotloff's mother, shirley, and that, of course, unfortunately did no good but i think what is significant here is not just
5:14 am
this statement released by alan henning's wife, but really the galvanizing of public opinion here in britain right now, both among british muslim groups and also among non-muslim groups coming together and calling for henning's release, very different from the other hostages, there seems to be a sense here that henning went in on a muslim aide convoy. he was the only non-muslim in that convoy, and so those who went with him on that convoy feel that they have the bond of trust, which is part of islam, one of its fundamental tenets, that they feel they have a bond of trust since they took him in, to get him back alive and they say he was doing a lot of good for syria. he was going into the combat zone where many organized charities would not do that. i think added to that is a sense of outrage that alan henning is a working class man. we spent many hours yesterday, in fact, in his hometown of echols up in northern england,
5:15 am
just a regular guy, you know, the kind of guy you would like to have as a neighbor, who really did like helping out others around him, and that is what led him to syria. no political viewpoint on that, no religious viewpoint but simply an aim to do good. that is why people are coming together right now saying he must come back. >> the impact of this message from barbara henning also some of the leading imams there in great britain, we'll see if that has some impact. karl penhaul thank you so much. >> thank you, karl. sierra leone is on the final day of a three-day nationwide lockdown to curb the spread of ebola. >> the government ordered people to stay inside their homes while 30,000 volunteers are now going door to door to educate people on the virus. aide agency "doctors without borders" criticized the move saying the lockdown is unlikely to stop the spread of the disease. at least 2,600 people have died since march in the

i know you've all been watching embattled nfl commissioner roger goodell. critics still want him to step back, in fact, in part it inspired a scathing article in "the washington post" by my next guest, sports columnist mike weiss, who compares good toll a money-obsessed character from the 2013 martin scorcese film
5:26 am
"wolf of wall street." "at every turn he prioritized money over saturday, growth over common good and that is exactly what 31 owners pay him to do." the title is even one that you can't turn away from, "prince of park avenue: roger goodell is just a spokesman for nfl billionaires." do you think that is his main job? >> i think it's not stated in the job description, christi, but i think this is what he's come to be. unfortunately a lot of people have compared him to richard nixon, because of the coverup with the domestic violence case involving ray rice in baltimore, and how that might be a more apt description, the coverup may, in fact, be worse than the crime. one, i don't believe that. i think domestic violence is too heinous a crime to even worry about a coverup being as dangerous, and two, this is a
5:27 am
guy who essentially is making $40 million plus a year himself. he's overseeing a $10 billion colossus and it doesn't seem there's a double bottom line for this corporation, which gets billions of tax subsidies i'm told from the american people, i don't understand why there is not more good that comes out of the nfl than merely a great and entertaining product on sundays. >> i think a lot of people are with you on that. look, goodell owned it. he said "i got it wrong. i'm sorry." first of all, do you believe him, and do you think it will change anything? >> well, i'm one of these people, i see redeemable qualities in usually everyone. what worths me so much about this case is there were six months now have gone by since
5:28 am
the original arrest on domestic violence charges for ray rice. since then, there's been a torrent of other stories including adrian peterson's child abuse felony case and roger goodell has had six months to show now that he really cares and this league really cares about a societal epidemic, not just in the nfl, societal epidemic, and really what roger goodell has shown us is he now realizes you know what he knew and he needs to put on a good face. and that worries me more than actually good that comes from it. i think there will be good that comes from this eventually. >> sure, but what about the ravens, too? as we just got this news this week that they saw the video within hours. >> oh, no, the troubling report by espn over the weekend involving especially the owner steve bisciotti, could you for
5:29 am
instance text a member of your staff that you are fired because you allegedly saw a video of him knocking his future wife out in an elevator and you could text him and say we love you, ray, we'd like to you come back and mentor our youngsters after your career's over, there's a disconnect. there's a real disconnect there. >> mike weiss, we so appreciate you taking the time to talk to us today and to let everybody know his article is in "the washington post," go ahead and read it in full, really interesting. mike, thank you so much for being with us. >> christi, you and victor have a great morning. >> thank you, you too. you go out and make great memories today. >> keep it here on cnn. "inside politics" with john king starts next, right after that "state of the union" with candy crowley at the top of the hour.

america's top general discusses plan b, if the initial coalition to defeat isis fails. >> we'd go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of u.s. military ground forces. >> but the commander in chief responds to w a blunt "no way." >> i will not commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in iraq. >> reporter: is the president's strategy shaped more by the military objective or by domestic politics? plus six weeks out, control of the senate is a giant wild card, and democrats are scrambling to make a point. >> i'm not barack obama. i disagree with him on guns, coal, and the epa. >> reporter: chris christie says it's time to wind down the bridgegate investigation and clear his name. >> i'll tired of it. i've cooperated in every possible way that i can. >> reporter: he's acting more and more like a 2016
