what jim rhodes did was call in the guard. the guard happened to be in so they were away, easy to get there. but it also meant the guard were tired. they had done for five days in akron. so they were tired. there was a running protest. the guard took over the campus without asking administration if they could take over the campus. the administration never protected the campus as they should have. they never protected the students as they should have. it was a combination of volatile circumstances all happening at once. the students had no leadership. the university leadership went awol at the moment they were needed the most. the guard was terribly directed by general canterbury. while notor's office, having issued a shoot kill order, was present very hard to make this a crackdown on outside educators and crime because jim rhodes was running for senate at the time. he had used up his terms as governor. tuesday, the day after the shootings, was the republican primary. robertin contention with jr., the son of a senator. the day

jim rhodes was rallying his base. i will give it away, he loses by closes to on tuesday, within that margin in the days before the shootings. here's what campus looked like. i like this shot, so regular. and i love this one, the campus scene. guards. have the but everything altogether. this is more questionable, but there was a lot of that going on. at night, it all falls apart again. students mass at the main gate, lincoln street. for those who were there, they want to march on the town and the guard says no. there is a confrontation. it gets ugly. that's the situation right there. this was how sunday night ends, except these are scenes, the kind of equipment the guards brought with them to kent. five fullycampus, armored personal carriers and eight of these light and medium helicopters, four heavy helicopters, and of course are carrying m1's. those who were there remember, that is the night of the helicopters, teargas flying everywhere, chasing people back to dormitories. by monday morning when people woke up, it's

and i'll tell you, jim, that as we thought about work with our customers during this first virus, one of those clients that was really impactful for us was the state of rhodeand. and their governor is incredible she had the vision that she needed to couple contact tracing with her testing, and that really gave us the vision that every organization is going to need to be able to deploy information technology like contact tracing to mitigate the spread of the virus as we interphase two, which is what we're getting ready to do now, get back to work safely. >> i'm somewhat concerned about the steps being taken right now in phase two versus the gap that we're going to have before we get a vaccine. and i think it's substantial i know you've got some fabulous doctors involved i know dr. brilliant fields like i do, he's part of your team, that there's going to be a moment where we may not get that vaccine as quickly as the president says i don't want to hate him or like him. i'm not here to debate his issue of when we can get the vaccine but the fact is we have maybe 90 disparate organizations and companies working on a vaccine shouldn't they all be working togeth

rhodes, there was a critical meeting january 5th, 2017. 'my understanding is you were not one of the five people in that room. the five people were president, vice president, sally yates, jimey, fbi director and susan rice, national security adviser. it followed on a meeting you probably did attend, i'm not sure. but the point of that critical meeting, which has been well documented and sally yates has been on the record on this and susan rice actually wrote a memo to the file on this. in that meeting president obama apparently very explicitly said to jim comey, the fbi director, i don't want you to tell me about anything that's going on in a law enforcement context because he had a firewall that was traditionally held between the president and a.g. on these issues. but as president of the united states i need to know whether my national security adviser, susan rice, can proceed to disclose everything we know about russia to this incoming national security adviser or does he have a counterintelligence issue? am i characterizing that correctly? >> yes, andrea, you're characterizing it correctly. i was in a preceding meeting which was about the investigation of the russian i
