mr. gonzalez, and they were about an arm's-length or two arm's-length short of reaching him. >> reporter:s like democrat steve cohen reacted with both sarcasm. >> would a moat, water, six feet around be kind of attractive and effective? >> this guy got further in the white house than some of my republican colleagues have ever gotten. >> reporter: and with outrage over initial reports that gonzalez was unarm and was arrested immediately inside the white house door when, in fact, he had a knife and got as far as the east room. republican jason chaffetz. >> the secret service misled us, on purpose. >> reporter: scott, clancy acknowledged the misstatement, but he calls them unintentional, and he said that security improvements being considered include changes in the height of the white house fence and modernization of communications equipment. >> pelley: senior white house correspondent bill plante. bill, thanks very much. we learned today that motown singer jimmy ruffin has died. ruffin is best remembered for this 1966 hit ♪ what becomes of the broken-hearted ♪ jimmy ruffin was 78. when a ch

mr. gonzalez, thank you so much for coming on the show to talk to us. i think a lot of people are curious to learn more about what the process is like. what is loretta lynch about to go through? >> something that she hasn't experienced before. let me first begin by congratulating ms. lynch on the nomination. obviously, it's a great day for her and her family and a day of great pride for the african-american community. she's been confirmed twice. i think most people fail to understand that for many u.s. attorneys, u.s. marshals, if the home state center supports you, often times you get through an easy confirmation, with maybe one or two questions. and you may get confirmed on a voice vote on the senate floor. it's going to be very, very different with respect to a cabinet nomination. and with the attorney general, who is involved with controversial decisions. she's going to go through a vetting she has not before. and i suspect that republicans are really going to dig deep, in terms of her background. and they're going to really ask some very tough ques

mr. gonzalez was on the radar screen.eviously had a map of the white house, a sod-off shotgun and when he's seen outside the fence, the security noticed him and watched him but didn't radio about him and who he is. and then he jumps the fence. this fence was build in the 1960s, by the way. it's not really up to date. he jumps the fence and then the man in charge of the canines, as you pointed out, was on a personal phone call, did not have his earpiece in or the equipment available he gets into the white house and this is a road map to assassinate the president. and we have a lot more work to do to make this a premier agency that we all used to know. i've introduced a bill to review not only this incident but the white house but the entire agency and other problems that we've seen, whether it be the prostitution drunkenness where the agent could not find his room and passed out in the hallway. >> i always assumed alarms would go off and weapons but there is that sense of impregnability. >> usually they are apprehended imm

mr. gonzalez, numerous times before he actually jumped the fence.und him with a rifle, rifles in his vehicle, they -- >> [inaudible] >> they said he had hunting gear, four hatchets, empty firearms cases, a folding knife, and each time they let him go -- >> those are red flags. [laughter] [inaudible conversations] >> flying everywhere. >> and add in a map of d.c., the white house circled with the rifles in the car. >> yeah. i wouldn't have expected that. i was with my sons, and we were visiting some friends in louisiana, came back home, and the, you know, tsa was there, and you feel so safe on the plane, right? we went through, my son had a necklace that was a bullet shell. it was filled with, like, mustard seeds of faith, this great little souvenir. but you couldn't get through there. even though it was nothing, you couldn't get through because of the security. i never would have expected that the white house would have less security going on than -- >> good point. >> -- what i'm feeling when i get on the plane. >> someone carrying a mustard seed of

mr. gonzalez did actually have a knife when he entered the white house, do you agree with the decision to withhold the report? >> yes, sir. dhs, department 6 of homeland security and the secret service have a very clear policy on the use of deadly force. basically, what it states is that an officer, when it's necessary, is authorized to use deadly force if the individual poses an immediate danger of death or serious bodily injury to the officer, the agent, or to someone else. >> and what nonlethal options does an officer have to subdue or stop a fence jumper? >> sir, officers, in addition to their weapon, they have batons, they have cs spray, the pepper spray, and obviously they're trained to use their hands, as well, to transition to that mode. >> now are you looking into other options? >> sir, we're always looking at other options that are available. close consultation with other agencies, and we share information, so we're always evaluating the equipment that we have for our officers and agents. >> concern has been raised that there's an overreliance on the dogs, on the k-9s, that may

mr. gonzalez, thank you so much for coming on the show to talk to us.lot of people are curious to learn a little bit more about what the process is like. what is loretta lynch about to go through? >> something that she hasn't experienced before. let me first begin by congratulating miss lynch on the nomination. obviously, it's a great day for her and her family and a day of great pride for the african-american community. i've listened to some of the commentary about the fact that she's been confirmed twice and perhaps this would be a relatively easy confirmation. i think what most people fail to understand is that for many u.s. attorneys, u.s. marshals, if the home state senator supports you, oftentimes you get through a fairly easy confirmation hearing, with maybe one or two questions, and then you may get confirmed on a voice vote on the senate floor. it's going to be very, very, very different with respect to a cabinet secretary nomination and obviously with respect to the attorney general, who is involved in the most controversial decisions. so she'

. >> reporter: minutes before omar gonzalez jumped the north lawn fence, mr. obama and his daughters took off from the south lawn. construction on the fence kept some secret service officers from seeing gonzalez go over and a missing spike made it over, though canine teams -- the officer outside the north puerto door thought it was locked and it wasn't. and gonzalez essentially ran over the female officer stationed inside the door. from there he made it to the east room before an agent who had just gone off duty tackled gonzalez and others helped subdue him. he was arrested in virginia in july with 11 firemans in the car and a map with the white house highlighted and stopped on the south side of the white house in august with a hatchet concealed in his clothes. since the september incident, a second layer of fencing has been added to slow down would be jumpers and the secret service says there's been training, staffing, communications, tactical and intel intelligence training. >> the people with these jobs need to understand that they can't be on their personal

issues including separation of powers, roberto gonzalez, who served as attorney general in the bush administration, and a book on the question of immigration. mr. attorney general, thank you for being with us. some critics of the president are calling this executive action unconstitutional, illegal. we heard from congressman king there. do you agree? is it unconstitutional? >> i'm not prepared to say that it is lawful but, you know, the president's own words really condemn him when you think about the several tiles -- >> what does that mean? you're not prepared to say it's lawful? so is it unlawful? >> listen, this is very difficult -- from my perspective without saying the details of the plan, i think it's a rather complicated question. while he does have the duty to take care of the laws be enforced, he has a discretion in the way the laws are enforced. it's really a matter of degree in thames of whether or not is what he's doing here a suspension? is it a repeal? is it an amendment of the law? the closer you get to that, it's much harder to defend it. from my perspective, i think the timing of this is terrible for the president based upon h
