pi pierson. just earlier this morning josh was saying the president has full confidence and now the president has come to the concludes that my confidence and trust has eroded. i do not feel comfortable with her in that position. that's super elijah cummings, the democrat who is in charge of things. but this is not new. we -- a guy landed a helicopters on the white house lawn. we have a fine look back. >> shep, it was only tasked with protecting the president after preside president roosevelt was -- but a man with a revolver was reportedly allowed to meet him after he told security the president was expecting him. another intruder with the weapon made it into president taft's white house. he actually made it past security, but was taught in the corridor. turned out-had a knife in his pocket. over the years secret service adjusted to the threat, but they were caught by surprise in 1974, when an army private landed a stolen chopper right on the white house lan twice. the first time they didn't show

they spoke last monday about pierson possibly coming back to the debate team. he said he scrunched down in the hallway when the shots rang in the hallway before breaking down when he found out the shooter was his friend, karl pierson. >> my first instinct is to want to defend him but i know that's wrong. it is indefensible, what he did. it is horrible. it is hard to process those emotions. >> i'm karl pierson at arapahoe high school. >> reporter: co-captains on the debate team weren't close friends but he felt close enough to help him. >> speech and debate was his life and the fact he was not there crushed him a little bit. it made him tense and angry. >> reporter: it had been a stressful fall term for pierson. he had grown angry from losing his coveted spot on the team months ago which made the coach, the librarian a wanted man in pierson's eyes. >> karl and murphy did not get along. whatever it was escalated to a death threat. >> his intent was evil and his evil intent was to harm multiple individuals. >> reporter: police say pierson stormed into the school h

pierson and mr. feldman have the greatest qualifications. as a gay elder myself i think that having a person who is sufficiently aware to attend this meeting is a key criteria. one of the things unfortunately attending a lot of meeting the police and library commission etc. there's a real problem with attention at the meetings. if someone can't bring themselves to come to the meeting i think that is an unfortunate messages there might be some attention. it's easy to say, you know, i'll do what i have to do but it's a lot harder to get people to do that. unfortunately for example, on the library commission we have at least 2 library commissioners that miss more than they attend pea the mayor's office has a policy when their absent they should be recommended for replacement that was put in place by mayor nooum. so again, i would say that ms. pierson and mr. feldman would bring the most experience to this body >> thank you any public comment on this item?. sooendz. first of all, i want to thank the 3 ca

should director pierson step down? does president obama think that's the right course of action at this point? >> the president and the white house have confidence in pierson's ability to do this job. we have confidence in the review that she's undertaking about exactly what happened, the incident that you referred to that happened a couple weeks ago. it's something they're taking seriously. they've upped some of the security procedures already. and she's undertaking that review. we're letting that process go forward. the president has confidence that she has the ability to run the department. and to conduct this review. we'll see what comes of that. >> i know josh continues to say the president has confidence in the secret service. i guess the question is why. because lawmakers on capitol hill yesterday who i was speaking with, just a lot of americans, say they're losing confidence. so why does the president still have confidence, particularly when we're just learning about this breach? atlanta that occurred when he w

as gloria said, look at what got them to julia pierson.chief of staff and also a she and it was coming off of a very big scandal where it looked like it was a boy's club and they wanted to have a woman in there and it didn't work out. ironically for the same reasons that the men had problems because it was a culture of cover-up and not having actual accountability so it was gender neutral. but finding somebody who is going to be appropriate, but not too heavy handed is not easy. >> it will have to come from the outside, i think. they went inside and stuck with the culture, now i think they have to go somewhere else. >> they need somebody with a lot of credibility and experience, someone who can take that secret service and make it what it is supposed to be, the elite organization that protects the president and the first family. all of those who work at the white house. guys, thanks very much. you can follow us on twitter, tweet me at wolf blitzer or tweet the show at cnn sit room. and join us tomorrow right here at the situation room or d

for julia pierson, that time came today. the first female director of the secret service was forced out after one security lapse after another, including one that was revealed yesterday even as she was being grilled by congress. we'll begin tonight with senior white house correspondent bill plante. >> reporter: support for julia pierson's leadership of the secret service was already waning after her experience before a house committee yesterday. it evaporated with the revelation that agents were unaware that during a visit last month to the c.d.c. in atlanta, a security contractor who had been previously arrested was allowed on an elevator with the president. it wasn't until he took photos of the president that he was questioned and then fired and agents discovered that he was carrying a gun. in a meeting this afternoon with homeland security secretary jay johnson, pierson resigned. white house press secretary joshua earnest. >> we've seen recent reports raising questions about the performance of the agency. and the presiden

pierson prioleau: it was just a feeling like, 'hey, clock, just run out!' out on this field and start the celebration. there was tears, and at that moment, we realized, 'hey, we really won this thing.' never, ever let go. it will always be a part of me, to be able to experience that with that team and that year, being the first super bowl for new orleans, it was really zac glover: prioleau would reach the end of his nfl career soon after that, and has since began a new chapter of his life, working in the radford school system. and he says there's much more to him than just his past accomplishments. pierson prioleau: "you know, i'm an elementary p.e. teacher at radford, i'm a high school football coach, i'm a dad, i'm a husband.

>>> by mid afternoon, julia pierson delivered her resignation to jay johnson. in an interview, pierson said i think it's the best interest of the secret service and the american public if i stepped down. congress has lost confidence in my ability to run this agency. the media made it clear that this is what they expected. the president's family woke up to this headline this morning in their local paper. man with gun was feet from obama. that was the latest in a series of stunning revelations by "the washington post." this morning's washington post front page was clearly the last straw for the white house. the white house press briefing was delayed three hours today and began immediately after the secret service director submitted her resignation. >> this afternoon, the president had the opportunity to telephone director pierson to express his appreciation for her service to the agency and to the country. director pierson offered her resignation today because she believed that it was in the best interest of the agency to which she has dedicated her career. the s

julia pierson neglected to tell people any of this stuff. i need to mention the post's writer who owns this story and is responsible for these revelations, and in terms of needing a new director of the secret service, i don't think you need much more than a knife-yielding maniac getting over the fence and into the white house. that's clearly all the president needed. the president just learned just hours it was in the press that he was next to a crazy armed felon guy in an elevator weeks zblag we don't know if he was crazy but he was an armed felon in the elevator with the president. the secret service didn't know about his past and the fact he was armed. that is a big national security concern. >> apparently he was acting, if not crazy, he was giddy just to be next to the president and the secret service didn't discover until later when they pulled him aside and were interviewing him and his boss came in to fire him from the local security detail and said hand me your gun and that's when they learned he was armed. they had been the known un
