speed was a factor because the train which was on its inaugural trip from seattle to portland was going 50 miles over the speed limit when it headed into a curve and jumped the tracks. investigators at the national transportation safety board have recovered the event data recorder, the equivalent of an airplane black box and they say the train was going 80 mph in a 30 mph zone. who did speed alone contribute to the accident remains to be seen but witnesses since impending danger just prior to the crash. >> i was going around the curve, we started to tilt, you're going too fast. >> there is never an explanation for that. >> felt like a war. >> reporter: these are just some of the few who jumped in to help victims, 85 people on the train,

you make of it? >> a great speech, assaulting new york result after a decade of applesauce. donald trump has thrown out a lot of that college term paper lingo from the obama ear and given us a key new take away, stand up for ourselves and given us a trump doctrine. jillian: let's look at the principal starting with protecting the homeland, advancing american prosperity, peace through strength and enhancing american influence. out of these things what is most important and how difficult will it be to enforce all of this? >> all four are important but the first one stands out to me, protect the homeland, here trump has done something new, he has added immigration, security, vetting potential terrorists and the refugee flow, added that, he said a nation without borders is not a nation, who can disagree with that. on top he will have to do layered missile defense and many

other sophisticated things that protect our homeland. rob: he said something about advancing american influence abroad and there was question about whether that stepson his former idea, take a step back, don't know if you want to see more of an isolationist nation but not going to nation building and stuff like that it almost seemed there was a bit of confusion about where the policy stands. >> no nationbuilding but not isolation either. he pointed out our alliances are stronger than ever, nato at 29 members, there are 70 countries and entities in the anti-isis coalitions of you sticking with our allies but since we have 2 take care of american prosperity first. he is getting us ready for a long-term competition with china and our economy is what makes our military power strong.

much to talk about in this segment, the first one we want to get to is how the mainstream media covered what appears to be severe bias and throwing the election or an attempt to throw the election by the fbi. the mainstream media appears to hate this story which is amazing to me and say say it puts america's security in danger to report on it. look at this montage quick. >> this has been a month long orchestrated pathetic and dangerous attack. >> a real example of the divide in the country and how conservative media is fueling that divide. >> they are fomenting a constitutional crisis. what they are doing could lead to violence. rob: we are talking real text tween fbi agents investigating the president and hillary clinton that appear to show them wanting to throw the election to hillary clinton and this is
