good. >> tremendous people. pentagon, nothing like it. >> reporter: but three officials describe a meeting that was, at times, tense. one key moment when the president told his national security team, he wanted to expand the u.s. nuclear arsenal to what amounted to ten-times its current level. the current number of u.s. nukes is 4,000. according to sources, the president was shown a chart of the history of the nuclear arsenal, which peaked in the 1960s at 43,000 weapons. while some in the meeting didn't take the president literally, according to officials in the room, briefers explained to mr. trump why expanding nuclear's nuclear stockpile isn't feasible. the u.s. is not planning to alter the size of its nuclear arsenal. it could not only break with u.s. doctrine, it would break a

treaties. since his candidacy, mr. trump has been inconsistent with record regards to his stance on nuclear weapons. in some instances, he seemed opened to the idea. >> you said, it's fine, you get nuclear weapons. and saudi arabia says, we want them, too. >> it's going to happen anyway. it's only a question of time. they're going to start having them. or we have to get rid of them entirely. >> reporter: shortly before his inauguration, mr. trump tweeted, the united states must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability, until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nuclears. all this comes amid mounting tensions with north korea over its nuclear program. a show of force. u.s. bombers flying near the sea of japan, alongside japanese and south korean aircraft. president trump meeting with his team to discuss the crisis. the defense secretary stressing diplomacy this week, while

on the table. >> you have to be ready to ensure we have military options that our president can employ if needed. >> reporter: the white house wouldn't comment on the record for this story. one white house official downplayed any tension surrounding nuclear weapons at the july 20th meeting saying the nuclear arsenal was not a pry my primary topic of the meeting. the conversations with the president are privileged. t trump administration is modernizing its arsenal, that does not violate treaties. we're learning about the response to last week's mass shooting in las vegas. new audio recordings obtained by nbc news, capture the moment a security guard was shot on the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay hotel. in a moment, another hotel worker who was there will share his story for the first time. pete williams has the latest on the investigatio

recordings and a revised police timeline have raised new questions about how quickly the las vegas police learned that a man in the mandalay bay hotel was armed and firing shots. >> make sure you're out of the way. >> copy. >> reporter: this is the sound of the actual first shots stephen paddock fired from his las vegas hotel room. [ gunfire ] >> call the police. someone's firing a rifle on the 32nd floor down the hallway. >> reporter: before paddock sent down a hail of gunfire, he was shooting inside the hotel. a hotel security guard responding to a problem door was wounded when paddock fired 200 rounds at the guard. and police say a hotel engineer also outside the room, notifying

barrage of gunshots. it's at the end of the hallway. looked like he fired down the hallway. >> reporter: according to a revised police timeline, that was 9:59. paddock started firing at the crowd at 10:05 and stopped at 10:15. a s.w.a.t. team got to the floor at 10:17, and learned that the guard was shot and where the shots came from. that means it took las vegas police to find out what the guard and the engineer already knew, where a man was firing a gun on the 32nd floor. >> if they had known about the security guard being wounded earlier, could they have been there even faster? it is always a race against a killer and the clock. >> reporter: officials say the guard told hotel security about the indoor shooting. but when were police

mgm resorts says it can't comment was of the ongoing investigation. it says in a statement. we believe that what is currently being expressed may not be accurate. >> las vegas, please join us -- >> reporter: las vegas is in mourning. overnight, the city's new nhl team, the vegas golden knights, in a 40-game pregame ceremony, honored fir ee eed first respon. mandalay bay security did report the indoor shooting to police. and he says the timeline may change again. and he commends the hotel staff for the response. >> pete williams, thanks very much. we're glad to have steven chuck with us, the building engineer at the mandalay bay there that might, on the 32nd floor when the first shots were fired. steven, good morning to you. it's good to see you. >> good morning, thank you. >> we just l

experience. the first question is how are you doing right now? >> i'm doing as well as expected. better as the days pass. >> take us through it, stephen. there's been a lot of confusion about how this all transpired. what happened? >> my side. my story, i was on a higher floor. when i was called to check out a fire exit door that would not open. i came to the 32nd floor from a different wing. i was walking down. i didn't hear anything. kept walking. i turned the corner from what we call the center court, into the 100 hallway. i thought i saw someone poke their head out. nothing off -- set off my radar. unusual yet. it was silent at this time. and as i

hallway, i was a third of the way down the hallway. and i started to hear shots go off. they were not in the hallway yet. and as soon as they stopped, i saw him popped out because the doors are set back about a foot. he fpopped out and yelled at me to take cover. as soon as i went to a door in my left, a round came down the hallway. i could feel it. something hit me in the back and i took cover. i wondered how i could get to jesus. he was shot in the leg. i told myself, he is going to have to stop shooting some time. it was kind of relentless. so, i called over the radio, what was going on. as soon as the shooting stopped, we made our way down the hallway and took cover again. and then, the shooting started again. >> stephen, let me just

now. how did you remain so calm? maybe your voice betrays what was going on inside of you. and second of all, if the reports are true there were 200 rounds fired by the gunman into the hall, you must feel incredibly lucky that you weren't hit. >> yeah. i am incredibly blessed that somehow i came out of there alive. when he first started shooting, you know, it was -- i was in disbelief. but i just had -- i told myself, remain calm. if i freak out right now, it's only going to get me killed or injured. remain calm. you know, call it over the radio, so we can get police on their way as soon as possible. >> stephen, you mentioned jesus campos, who was the security guard that received a gunshot wound. he warned you. he said get down or get

>> yes. my whole family and i, we all appreciate him. at first, when the first shooting started, i was kind of frozen, for a second. and he yelled at me, take cover, take cover. if he yelled a second too late, i would be shot. i owe him my life. >> what happened when the police arrived, stephen. were you still there? >> i was still there, yes. we were directing them. like, it's this hallway. at the end of the hallway. me and jesus, we never saw the door open. so, we thought he was shooting from the peephole in the door. we were telling police that. my supervisor was there. he handed me his master keys. and i ran down and shut off all the guest elevators and stopped guests on the basement floor. let them know we have an incident

stay down here. and i made my way back up to the 32nd floor to give him his keys so he could give them to the police to use them. >> after going through something like this, do you see yourself -- can you go back to work there? can you ever feel the same way about going back to work at that hotel? >> yeah. it's definitely difficult. but for someone to do something so cowardly and despicable, i'm not going to let that change my life. i mean, i'm going to go back to work. i like my career. and i'm not going to let that define me. >> stephen, you were incredibly brave. the most unfathomable of circumstances. give us our best to jesus. and thank you for your time. >> you're welcome. it appears, in other news, that president trump has scored a victory in hisig
