novak djokovic defeated russia daniil medvedev. djokovic's record tying the 24th career grand slam singles title with margaret court. that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." thanks for being with us. and my thanks for ron nobles for being here, and yasmin vossoughian, remember to follow the show on social media@mitchell reports, "chris jansing reports" starts right now. ♪♪ good day, i'm chris jansing, live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. as the afternoon light in morocco starts to fade, so, too, are hopes of finding more survivors from friday's devastating earthquake. almost exactly three days since that terrifying 6.8 earthquake struck, this is all that's left. homes and buildings that don't even resemble structures anymore. we just learned the death toll has risen yet again. now over 2600 with more than

300,000 impacted across the country. and while some hold out hope of finding loved ones alive amid the devastation, others already know exactly what they have lost. >> translator: i'm alone now, he says. i had a home and a family. now, i have nothing. >> and take a look at these pictures, the one on the left was taken shortly after dannelly cavalcante escaped from prison 12 days ago. the one on is what he looked like now, new look, new clothes and apparently transportation. a news conference with the latest on the manhunt just an hour away. and president biden's presidential campaign has pushed to do something the candidate himself has shied away from, focus more on former president donald trump in the hopes of giving the biden campaign a badly needed financial boost. but we start in morocco where the golden window, that 72-hour period where rescuers

are most likely to find survivors is about to close. ratcheting up the heartbreak and misery in the most devastating earthquake in 100 years. we just learned the death toll is 2,681. and dozens of injured and casualty figures expected to rise. most coming from remote towns like this, in and around the atlas mountains, some of the poorest parts of countries. many blocked off with roads. and in places where rescue teams can get to, they're heading to there. but a daunting challenge that they said on the "today" show with very little equipment available, the rescuers have the exhausting job of digging with a shovel or sometimes, just their bare hands. >> we're trying to get people, we're looking for people, still.

it's hard, because you can see, it's very basic. it's full of areas, it's not easy to find pockets of survivors but we're still working. >> in the city of marrakech, large sections of the city's center have been destroyed. tourists and locals are sleeping outside, either because they lack shelter or afraid of being crushed in aftershocks. in one of the remote villages hardest hit, raf. >> reporter: we're seeing devastation all across the disaster zone, with the death toll that's rising all the time. but much of the worst damage is concentrated in remote mountain villages like this one. this village is called moulay brahim. we're about 30 miles east of the epicenter of the earthquake here. this was a community hit hard. it was home to some 3,000

people. they tell us about 40 people were killed in the initial quake on friday night. so that is more than 1% of this village that lost their lives. we met a man here called lasim, he lost not only his wife, but his three daughters and his baby son. he told us, he does not know how he's going to carry on with grief on that scale. the only photograph he still had of his wife was her national i.d. card. despite all the heartbreak in villages like this across the region, the rescue effort continues. we have seen just in this community, not just professional volunteer, professional rescue teams from turkey and italy, but also just local people, volunteers, who hand by patient hand have been sifting through the rubble, trying to save the lives of their neighbors. there was a rescue here earlier. that is giving people hope that they may still find survivors. the experts will tell you, it is the first 72 hours after the

earthquake that are absolutely critical that represent the best chance of finding people alive. rescue teams here say they're committed to working this as long as it takes. even as that window starts to close. back to you. >> raf sanchez, thank you for that. i want to bring in the senior manager of asia operations for world central kitchen, which has served millions of meals and provided other relief in devastated areas like morocco. she is in marrakech right now. thank you so much for talking with us. tell us, first of all, just what you're sees and what is needed most. >> so, we have the kitchen team and scouts out using air assets, four-wheel drives working extremely closely with communities. and we are getting out to those remote villages as fast as we possibly can to serve the

community with fresh milk and water, especially in those hard-hit regions. >> what have they described to you about what they're seeing and what they need to help the people there that have gone through this almost unspeakable tragedy? >> see, the wonderful thing about the moroccan people is that they have jumped in heads first, hearts first, to help their community members. and just to be able to be serving, during this extremely awful time, but we are seeing a lot of devastation. >> there has been a lot of criticism on the ground there about what the government has done, that they haven't moved after -- i don't want to get new the middle of the politics of this, that's not why you're there. but do you have the resources you need? how well equipped are you to meet the needs of the people who are looking to you for help? >> once again, we've got the help of the people, with the

help of world kitchen, and the networks. we're able to scale to be able to meet those needs, that is happening at the moment, right now with fresh meal, sandwiches and fruit and water. and very soon, we will have equipment that is coming in to be able to cook thousands of meals. and that's going to be able to be deployed into some remote regions. >> that's the part of the mission that folks here in the united states know best that you're able to feed people who don't have the ability to do that. but your organization is not just doing that. you sent us a video showing one of your helicopters being used to evacuate an earthquake victim from a mountain village. the helicopter literally perched on the edge of that mountain road. tell us about the breadth of your mission and what you hope to be able to accomplish, ultimately, in the coming days and perhaps weeks. >> absolutely. so central kitchen, we're laser

focused at reaching communities at the margins. we're focused on overcoming every challenge in order to serve in dignity in the form of fresh meals and fresh drinking water. and the video that you're seeing now is the testimony to the pilot, number one, the american pilot, who is able to take us to those places and works with those people in the high atlas mountains who really know it like the back of their hands and that enables the world central kitchen as a superpower to be hopeful and able to reach as many communities as soon as possible. >> that is an unbelievable picture. i've driven those roads, the precipitous drop where he's landed. all of those roads in the high atlas mountains are absolutely incredible. so, kudos for him for being able to do that. so, as people are watching this

and they see how great the need is, what can people do to help? >> people can help by heading to wck.org, there will be more information. we'll keep updating everybody as things develop. and as we scale up our operation to feed families in the moroccan high atlas mountains. >> thank you for all of you and all your colleagues do. we wish you luck as you continue that fantastic work. thank you. and in those remote regions as we just saw in the video of that helicopter, search teams are struggling to meet mountainous villages where entire villages have collapsed. sky news chief correspondent stewart ramsey is reporting 2 miles east of marrakech. >> reporter: they're coming to find people which they've been doing already and also now to clear the roads. it's very difficult. can't get trucks past here at all. they need to try to get hands

there on the equipment further up. there are survivors, many thought wouldn't be found here. and these villages, i mean, they were really hit hard. look at that, across -- four people survived in that town. you can see it's on top of a hill. the monastery is on the back, that's collapsed. and everything else around it has collapsed. as i say, only four people escaped from that. absolutely everyone else has died. the first rescue teams came in and assessed the building of what survived here. >> everyone else has died. sky news, stewart ramsey, thank you for that. the ongoing fight, 22 years later, 9/11, to shed light on saudi arabia's involvement as america remembers those who were lost. we're back in 60 seconds.

this year, 22 years after the september 11th terrorist attacks upended the nation, the emotion is still raw. and we saw it and heard it this morning. [ bells ] >> new york city's ground zero just after 9:00 a.m., mourners mixing with the leaders of the nation, including vice president kamala harris. the symbolic bells ringing at 8:46, 9:03, the exact moments when the planes hit each of the towers. that followed by a moment of silence and the reading of the names of those killed in the attacks. >> my brother thomas swift. your family loves and misses you, we may have been torn from us that day, but your love and

memories will never be torn from our hearts. >> and at the pentagon, an american flag was unfurled over the side of the building where the hijacked commercial airliner crashed. remembrances, now all too familiar, but no less heartbreaking. and so many questions remain. 40% of the people who died in the twin towers on september 11th, 2001 remain unidentified, though two more dna matches came in just on friday. and on capitol hill, there's a new bipartisan push to understand exactly what happened. and how involved saudi arabia may have been in the attacks. connecticut democratic senator richard blumenthal and republican senator ron johnson are now pressing the fbi director and the attorney general to release the complete unredacted records of saudi arabia's role. nbc's rehema ellis is at ground zeerry with us. also with me, co-founder of punchbowl news and msnbc

contributor jake sherman. thanks to both of you for being here. rehema, it never gets any easier. walk us through what happened in the events commemorating this anniversary. >> reporter: chris, you're right, it doesn't get easier, two decades later, 22 years ago, the nation falls in ghastly horror about what happened to it. today, again, this morning, the nation stood and paused to remember all of those whose lives were lost 22 years ago, nearly 3,000 of them. we played some of the poignant scenes, the sounding of the bells, the ringing of the bells. the moments of silence. even the moments of silence filled with emotion. and the sounds from the family members remembering their loved ones lost. as one man just said, as his loved one was torn away from him violently, but he remains in his heart. one thing i want to mention to you, what people are thinking about, names continue to be added to this wall. there have been 341 firefighters who have died of 9/11-related

illnesses since the attack 22 years ago, adding to that number of 343. in addition there is, as you point out, these people who remember the remains of those victims who have not yet been identified. but it's important to remember that the city medical examiner has made a solemn pledge to all of the family members that they're going to do everything they can to identify the remains of their loved ones, no matter how long it takes. tonight there is going to be a tribute in light, that we've seen so many years. down through battery park, just a few steps from ground zero. and it's the beaming towers of light shooting up into the sky, a reminder of what was lost here more than two decades ago. those are the kinds of things that people have been thinking about today. they're going to be remembrances going on across the country. there are remembrances going on everywhere. including with the man who is now 28 years old. he was only 6 years old, when

his father who was a policeman and his uncle, a fireman, died on 9/11. i asked him what it was like for him to be here today. take a listen. >> today, remembrance, but it's also like a celebration of my father's life. so, i mean, every year, the police officers and firefighters sand councilmen for my dad, they come hover to our house for a barbecue, tell us stories about my dad, tell us things outside of home at work to understand who he was. >> it brings him back to life? >> yes, ma'am. >> reporter: and that's what this moment is about, not allowing the terrorists to take the life and the love of the ones that were part of their lives. they will come here every year, they say, because it's so important that the nation remember and not forget what happened here on september 11th, 2001. >> chris.

>> rehema ellis, thank you for that. jake, there is the emotion, and also don't answer questions, right? and the bipartisan group of senators say in their letter they haven't received a single letter or obtained an explanation for any of the hundreds of redactions that remain. what more can you tell us about this bipartisan effort? >> reporter: this is long, chris, a subject of contention on capitol hill. that lawmakers feel like the administration, not only this administration, but the previous administrations have withheld information, intelligence, data, documents, letters, records about saudi arabia's role in the september 11th attacks. what it knew, what it didn't know. whether it gave money, all sorts of questions that lawmakers have had traditionally. now, they don't have a ton of recourse here if they don't get the information, especially because some of it is unclassified. but i will say this, they are threatening, senator richard blumenthal of connecticut, ron johnson of wisconsin, indicating

they would be willing to subpoena and start what could be a protracted legal fight over these documents. again, if you think about this at a 30,000-foot level, we've had a lot of complication with saudi arabia. a robust relationship in which the saudis bought weaponry from the united states, than previously in the past. we have now, the saudi arabians are in negotiations with the israelis and the americans over normalizing relationships -- the relation shinn with israel. so, there's a lot of geopolitical ways in the mix here as well. we also have interests by some of these same senators, by the way, in saudi -- a much less important issue, but saudi arabia's role on the liv golf tour. there are a lot of issues with saudi arabia, this atop them. and going to get attention in the days and weeks ahead.

>> and you have the senators saying if the doj do not provide the documents in the weeks ahead they're going to consider the tools ahead. what does that mean exactly? >> it means subpoena, chris. they don't have a ton of resource. by the way, they don't have a ton of resource when it comes to subpoena for classified information for otherwise sensitive information. there could be negotiations in which certain lawmakers could see certain information in a secure facility. there's all sorts of ways for the administration to lower the temperature on this. but i will say this, the biden administration probably doesn't want to get into a long political or legal fight with congress over these documents. >> jake sherman, so good to have you you as always. new warnings from pennsylvania authorities, nearly two weeks now into that desperate manhunt for that escaped murderer. you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc. msnbc

(soft music) it is day 12 of the manhunt for an escaped convicted killer in pennsylvania. and police say danelo calf accountanty has altered his disappearance, stolen a vehicle and slipped outside their search perimeter. the 34-year-old fugitive was caught on a door well camera over the weekend, sporting a freshly shaved face and looking quite different from when he first escaped at the end of august. even more worrisome, police say he managed to steal a white 2020

transit van that was later found abandoned 25 miles outside of the search hear. i'm going to bring in marissa parra in unionville, pennsylvania. marissa, i know we're expecting an update at the top of the hour but what do we know now? >> reporter: yeah, this was a stunning weekend of developments and many of those developments we learned about just yesterday. the big lingering question when was the last sighting. as of now, authorities have only told us about the last one they had early yesterday morning. the big question is, has he been spotted again? at last check, he is, of course, still on the loose. our understanding he's still in pennsylvania at least according to their intel, what they believe here. but let's talk again about all of the things we learned this weekend. remember, it was just saturday that they had the search down to a four-mile perimeter. that was the botanical gardens. that's not that far from where we are right now, the command

post. by all accounts they were closing in on him. by saturday night, he made his way through that perimeter. was able to steal that dairy van. apparently, they left the keys in the van, it's a small rural area, they felt safe doing so. he took the van, east of where we are right now, knocked on the door of two different people, two different homes of people he used to work with, asking for help. that is something, when you talk about his changed appearance, we know he's broken into at least one home. stealing provisions, food. he's got new clothes. something that a lot of people are asking about, is he getting help. authorities haven't confirmed that he's getting help. certainly something to keep an eye on. he said they're doing things behind the scenes trying to make sure he got the help. he's got a freshly shaven face. the question is where did he get the razor? he's got a new sweatshirt. the question is where did he go since then, chris? they know obviously, he's trying

to get what he can. they say keep your keys out of your car, keep your doors locked, not just your home, your vehicle, this is somebody who has stolen a van, probably maybe already has done so, and chris, they just upped the reward money to $25,000 as they're still looking for this man. at this point, a nationwide manhunt, chris. >> once again, news conference at the top of the hour, we'll look forward to that, marissa, thank you. eight people are injured after an explosion and fire in d decatur, illinois, food processing plant last night. firefighters responded to the scene overnight and the facility had to be evacuated. the fire department said no private homes were affected. the cause. explosion is still being investigated. banking on the trump bump. how president biden is looking

just today, new nbc news reporting about the major fundraising push by the biden campaign, now struggling to keep pace with donald trump uses his legal woes to rake in millions in campaign contributions. team biden's goal is to recruit

1,000 new fund-raisers by january who will focus in the $250 to $1,000 range. they're making the case that donald trump and his allies are a threat to democracy. let me bring in matthew dowd, former chief strat jiflt for the bush/cheney campaign and a former msnbc analyst, good afternoon, my friend. let me put out specific numbers for you. so the campaign's public disclosure in july showed $19 million raised by biden, about 5.4 from donors who have already given the legal maximum. so they can't get any more in 2024. in the two days after his mug shot was taken, trump pulled in $7 million. discuss those numbers for us and why you think the push is happening now? >> well, i think at this point in time, the money doesn't matter as much to what the dynamics of the race is, as what happens in the spring and the summer of next year. and so i think what each of them is going to do, though donald trump to a lesser extent, is

going to raise and spend whatever they have now. to try to step the dynamic as best they can in the course of this. and then after january, into the spring and early summer, is when you'll see the huge amounts that we saw spent in 2020, the huge amounts that are spent between june and november, in the course of this race. so, as long as you can strully support your campaign which is what it looks like the biden campaign can do, whether it's organizational people, fundraising people, i think they're on track. i think the worry for the trump campaign is, though he gets a ton of free media and a solid base of support, his ability to fund the structural part of the campaign seems dicey at this point. >> because of the all of the money he's spending on legal bills? >> because of all of the money he's spending on legal bills and the idea he's never been a strategic as regards a political campaign. i think he thinks he can run a campaign on fumes, just on the force of his personality and

what he can do in getting free media in the course of this. but i think his legal woes put a serious crimp on his ability to support a structure of this campaign. >> when you look at the polls, again, national polls this early in the campaign, i know the argument is how they don't mean much, but part of the reason, clearly, for fundraising, they want to start getting their messaging out there. and he's getting biden an early start on campaign raising on key states. and it's focused on key constituents. i want to play a bit of one ad that features a young mom who is a cement mason in wisconsin. ♪♪ >> i think people like me, all of the things that biden got passed help the middle class. the people that i do live on a day-by-day basis they're getting a pay raise. what president biden has

accomplished is actually helping real people. >> he's doing that now, by comparison, barack obama waited in march 2020 for the sustained money on ads, trump waited, too. what do you make of the early start? >> yeah, when i was doing the bush campaign, we waited in june. >> wow. >> because we wanted to spend from june to november a sustained effort that would have an impact. my guess is they don't think this $25 million in a country of 330 million americans where it costs hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to get a message through, the $25 million isn't about changing that dynamic. it's actually about quelling the nervousness of the democratic base and people that will raise money for him, so he can have the effort in place, whether it's the grassroots he needs or the people raising the money next year. the $25 million to me is much more supporting what the campaign needs than change the perceptions of joe biden at this point. >> so, you think these two

things are kind of intertwined, the raising of the money, the targeting of the bundlers to get some of the smaller donors with the ads, they all work together? >> yeah, i think they all work together. they integrity together. you're not going to see in next year the billions of dollars likely sold on television ads. the key thing, chris -- >> wait, wait, i'm not ready for that, the billion dollars -- >> my guess is there's going to be a billion dollars spent on television ads in the presidential race next year. and the other thing they may end up doing, and again, we did this in 2024, you spend a little bit of advertising to see if it actually moves people. you go in and you poll, then you do advertising and poll afterwards to see if it moved people in the course of this. my guess is they're trying to think what will move them. i have a suspicion what's going to happen, as though they want to run on joe biden's positive agenda and what he's done, those

numbers are going to be very difficult to move. and what they're probably going to end up finding out that the only way this race really moves is you make it a real choice election. and i think your lead-in on this, that it's a state of democracy in the country, i think that is ultimately what they're going to figure out, they're going to need to spent 90% of their resources on is the choice, and not on the positive accomplishments of joe biden. >> there are a lost of people in battleground states that hope you're wrong about that billion dollars not the general managers of tv stations. >> very true. >> matthew dowd, good to see you. from ground zero to alaska, for millions of americans 9/11 is more than a vivid memory. it's a time to come together. which is why at memorials, firehouses, city halls and college campuses, bells tolled, flags raised and moments of quiet spoke volumes. president biden is on his way to

alaska as he makes hi way home from vietnam and india. he will speak on an anchorage military base and while biden speak the at all three military bases at new york, shanksville from the 20-year anniversary, his absence will be a criticism. it will be the first time that a sitting president will not attribute the tragedy at one of the attack sites. and the republicans paying their respects on the campaign trail, including republican governor ron desantis spotted in manhattan at the memorial ceremony at ground zero. i want to turn to nbc news vaughn hillyard, not far from world trade center. this could make history, not politicize a tragedy, so what are the candidates' plans? >> reporter: right, chris,

governor ron desantis was just down the road here where we're standing here at the memorial where vice president kamala harris was commemorating the ceremony, alongside kathy hochul and new york city mayor adams. when you're talking about donald trump, it's not quite clear where he is today. we reached out to his campaign multiple times for information for his plans here on september 11th. we do know he put out a social media post, about a three-minute video in which he said the lives of those lost, their family members, will never be forgotten. i think it's important to note politically, we're now 22 years since the september 11, 2001 attacks, those speaks to it, for governor ron desantis, he in 2001 was in college at the time. in 2004, he'd go on to join the navy in which he served as a lawyer, not only serving time in guantanamo bay but iraq. will hurd, serving in the

anti-terrorism unit. and then critical of the biden administration's to withdraw. and nikki haley, and her husband went on to a year-long tour in afghanistan. he's currently stationed in africa. and vivek ramaswamy, chris, was in high school in cincinnati. he'll be visiting the memorial despite giving fodder just last months to conspiracy theorists that 9/11 was an inside job. vivek ramaswamy said he doesn't know enough to say it wasn't one. and with the diplomatic relations and defense posture so far eoverseas, he wrote we see this in favor of appeasement and

isolationism, back on the leadership world and create a vacuum that china, russia and other hostile nations would be more than happy to fill in. as you said it, chris, joe biden on his way to alaska to address service members and first responders and their families, of course he was in his 28th year in the u.s. senate, serving as the chair of the senate foreign relations committee at the time of the 2001 attack. chris. >> vaughn hillyard, thank you for that. just in time for another shutdown showdown, as the pitfalls for a deal. first, a story to let you smile through the break, maya, a 6-year-old chihuahua mix that went missing at the busiest airport in the world atlanta last month was found over the weekend and will soon head home to the dominican republic to be reunited with her mom. the now famous pup was first

right now, there are just 11 working days left before congress has to pass essential federal funding and avoid a government shutdown. but so far, there is little sign of agreement, even among republicans as the house is set to return tomorrow from a long summer recess. so could this be a make or break moment for house speaker kevin mccarthy. nbc's ali vitali on capitol hill, and jake sherman is back with us. ali, what are you hearing right now about the chances of a shutdown? >> reporter: well, chris, i asked one republican lawmaker over recess if i had any reason to be nervous for themselves to come back into town because of the funding battle, they told me simply, yes. and that it wasn't going to be pretty. i think that's the move here as lawmakers continue to come back into town because conservative house members have made clear

they're not backing down on their threats to shut down the government, especially as they want to see more spending cuts and as they continue to have that threat in the back pocket of the motion to vacate of speaker kevin mccarthy. some of them told me they feel they were sold out because of that bipartisan deal that house speaker kevin mccarthy did several weeks ago before recess. and leading to conversations like this, here's congressman chip roy, on the state of play right now, between him and his leadership. >> we're all working hard to try to move everything forward here in september. we have a job to do, and that is, to hold this administration accountable. when kevin works with us to sit down to achieve conservative end it's and get 218 republican votes, we've been successful. that's my advice. >> reporter: so roy is there giving the speaker some advice. that advice may seem to be a veiled threat to those of us who know mccarthy well. this is another threat by mccarthy, dealing with the

razor-thin margins, the wide views of spending and his conference, and the facts that many of the freedom caucus members were agitating for a shutdown in the first place are trying to downplay the idea that a shutdown is not a big deal. while you and i know that shutdowns are that are impacted by them. >> no kidding, jake, and a new report in punch bowl news from members of mccarthy's leadership team, a government shutdown is quite possible even likely, tell us a little bit more about your reporting there. >> yeah, i mean, the basic reality is the senate has passed a number of bills on a bipartisan basis, republicans and democrats, every appropriations bill has come out of committee. republicans have gotten zero to the house floor. and the senate's going to move three bills today. republicans are going to put the defense appropriations bill, the defense spending bill, $886 billion on the floor this week, and there's no guarantee they could even pass that. so it's very difficult to see the end game.

the end game, the typical sane end game would be a short-term bill that would go until november. that's what mccarthy wants and that's a typical punt that we usually see here. i don't know that conservatives are going to allow that, and just to be clear, when chip roy says kevin listens to conservatives, it usually works out. that's not true. it doesn't work out. the president is a democrat. the senate is run by democrats alongside republicans who disagree with house republicans. so it might work if you're just trying to get bills through one chamber. what conservatives have for years believed they could get the other side to fold by just standing tough, we have now 13 years, nearing 14 years of experience that that's not the case. that's fantasy. that posture will, of course, lead to a government shutdown, especially given the fact that, number one, they do want to make mccarthy squirm, and number two, substantively on policy, they're miles from the rest of the consensus in d.c., which is is that the republicans, senate

democrats, and joe biden are roughly on the same page where republicans are reading a completely different book. >> in our last minute, do they genuinely believe, jake, that this is not potentially a big deal if the government shuts down? >> yeah, i think that's generally right. i mean, i think politically they don't believe it's a big deal. of course substantively it is a big deal, you know, operations interrupted around the country. politically they haven't been made to suffer tremendously because of shutdowns. i don't know if you could blame this on anyone other than house republicans if literally everyone else in washington disagrees with the position they're taking, including some of their house republican colleagues. >> jake sherman, ali vitali, good to have both of you on. thank you. a bomb shell 60 years after the jfk assassination, the new evidence that could dismantle the lone gunman theory.

60 years after president john f. kennedy was assassinated we're hearing a stunning new account from a secret service agent who was with the president that day, one that could challenge the long held theory that a lone gunman was to blame. nbc's liz kroits reports.

>> 60 years after president john k. kennedy was assassinated in dallas in 1975. >> john f. kennedy died at 1:00 central standard time. >> former secret service agent paul landis who was with the president that day is opening up for the first time about what he witnessed. for decades, the prevailing theory was that one bullet struck jfk and hit texas governor john conley who was sitting in front of him, known adds the magic bullet theory, which explained how one shooter could have fired all the shots. the theory is based on this bullet being found on governor's gurney in the hospital. landis says he knows how it got there. the 88-year-old tells "the new york times" he found that bullet lodged in the car accident behind where kennedy was killed. he took that bullet to the hospital and placed it on the president's gurney. it was a piece of evidence, he tells the times, and i didn't

want it to disappear or get lost. it was paul, you've got to make a decision. landis says the bullet may have rolled from kennedy's gurney to conley's meaning it may not have been the bullet that hit conley. >> i think this is a significant piece of evidence to support the idea that there was more than one gunman. >> clint hill who climbed on the back of the limo when kennedy was shot questions landis's story. >> why do you have doubts about his account? >> because if you check all the evidence, the statements, things that happened, they don't line up. it doesn't make any sense to me that he's trying to put it on the president's gurney. >> we've got a lot to cover in our second hour of "chris jansing reports." let's get right to it.
