00:00:56,890|00:00:57,123|RU3|TONIGHT.

00:01:31,024|00:01:33,526|RU3|GOING OFF THE AIR FOR NBC

00:01:35,061|00:01:36,463|RU3|WE COME ON THE AIR FOR THIS
00:01:36,596|00:01:37,363|RU3|SPECIAL TONIGHT.
00:01:37,497|00:01:38,098|RU3|THERE IS A HOMELAND SECURITY
00:01:38,231|00:01:44,504|RU3|ISSUE THAT HAS ARIZIN, BIG
00:01:44,637|00:01:46,806|RU3|ENOUGH FOR THE -- HE'S BEEN
00:01:46,940|00:01:48,575|RU3|BRIEFED ON IT.
00:01:48,708|00:01:49,375|RU3|OUR JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT PETE
00:01:49,509|00:01:50,477|RU3|WILLIAMS HAS BEEN REPORTING ON
00:01:50,610|00:01:50,777|RU3|THIS.
00:01:50,910|00:01:52,445|RU3|HE'S WITH US AS PART OF OUR
00:01:52,579|00:01:53,146|RU3|COVERAGE TONIGHT.
00:01:53,279|00:01:54,514|RU3|PETE, WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS
00:01:54,647|00:01:55,682|RU3|AND WHAT BEST TO CALL IT?
00:01:55,815|00:01:57,984|RU3|>> WELL, I THINK IT'S BEST TO
00:01:58,118|00:02:00,253|RU3|CALL IT UNCONFIRMED, IT'S A
00:02:00,386|00:02:01,955|RU3|SPECIFIC PIECE OF INTELLIGENCE
00:02:02,088|00:02:02,689|RU3|INFORMATION THAT THE UNITED
00:02:02,822|00:02:04,057|RU3|STATES HAS PICKED UP WITHIN THE
00:02:04,190|00:02:05,325|RU3|LAST SEVERAL HOURS, SPECIFIC
00:02:05,458|00:02:06,759|RU3|ENOUGH THAT IT GOT THEIR
00:02:06,893|00:02:08,461|RU3|ATTENTION, IT ROSE ABOVE THE
00:02:08,595|00:02:14,400|RU3|NORMAL KIND OF CHATTER THAT THEY
00:02:14,534|00:02:15,935|RU3|HEAR RUNNING UP TO SOMETHING
00:02:16,069|00:02:16,636|RU3|LIKE THIS.
00:02:16,769|00:02:18,138|RU3|IT'S SPECIFIC BUT UNCONFIRMED,
00:02:18,271|00:02:19,205|RU3|THERE ARE QUESTIONS THAT ARE
00:02:19,339|00:02:23,176|RU3|INTERNALLY CONTRADICTORY IN IT
00:02:23,309|00:02:26,112|RU3|AND JUST OUT, THE DEPARTMENT OF
00:02:26,246|00:02:27,280|RU3|HOMELAND SECURITY DESCRIBES IT
00:02:27,413|00:02:28,882|RU3|AS SPECIFIC AND CREDIBLE BUT
00:02:29,015|00:02:30,049|RU3|UNCONFIRMED AND THEY ALSO SAY IN
00:02:30,183|00:02:31,651|RU3|THIS STATEMENT THAT OFTEN TIMES
00:02:31,784|00:02:32,986|RU3|THESE THINGS COME ALONG AND THEN
00:02:33,119|00:02:34,354|RU3|AS THEY DO FURTHER CHECKING,
00:02:34,487|00:02:35,522|RU3|THEY WASH OUT.
00:02:35,655|00:02:40,193|RU3|SO THERE'S A NOTE OF, I GUESS
00:02:40,326|00:02:40,960|RU3|SOME SKEPTICISM EVEN FROM THE
00:02:41,094|00:02:41,561|RU3|GOVERNMENT ITSELF.
00:02:41,694|00:02:43,062|RU3|WHAT THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO
00:02:43,196|00:02:44,564|RU3|DO, TAKE THIS INFORMATION, PASS
00:02:44,697|00:02:45,398|RU3|IT ALONG TO LOCAL LAW
00:02:45,532|00:02:46,666|RU3|ENFORCEMENT, THAT'S BEEN THEIR
00:02:46,799|00:02:48,301|RU3|PATTERN FOR THE PAST SEVERAL
00:02:48,434|00:02:52,472|RU3|DAYS, ANYTHING THAT THEY GET,
00:02:52,605|00:02:53,239|RU3|THEY'RE BASICALLY PASSING ALONG
00:02:53,373|00:02:53,673|RU3|AT THIS POINT.
00:02:53,806|00:02:55,041|RU3|BUT IT DOESN'T SOUND AT LEAST AT
00:02:55,175|00:02:56,809|RU3|THIS POINT THAT THEY WILL USE
00:02:56,943|00:02:58,178|RU3|THE NEW TERROR THREAT SYSTEM
00:02:58,311|00:03:00,013|RU3|THAT'S JUST BEEN SET UP BY THE
00:03:00,146|00:03:00,813|RU3|DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.
00:03:00,947|00:03:02,815|RU3|IF THEY DID DO THAT, IT WOULD BE
00:03:02,949|00:03:04,784|RU3|DIFFERENT FROM THE OLD COLOR
00:03:04,918|00:03:07,687|RU3|CODED DAYS, IT WOULD BE VERY
00:03:07,820|00:03:09,389|RU3|SPECIFIC AND TELL US WHAT WE'RE
00:03:09,522|00:03:09,956|RU3|SUPPOSED TO DO.
00:03:10,089|00:03:12,091|RU3|>> PERHAPS FOLKS WHO AREN'T THAT
00:03:12,225|00:03:13,593|RU3|INTERESTED IN THE SPEECH BUT ARE
00:03:13,726|00:03:15,128|RU3|WAITING FOR THE GAME ASKING THAT
00:03:15,261|00:03:16,429|RU3|QUESTION THAT WE'RE NOW USED TO
00:03:16,563|00:03:18,164|RU3|AFTER TEN YEARS OF THIS, WHAT AM
00:03:18,298|00:03:19,299|RU3|I SUPPOSED TO DO?
00:03:19,432|00:03:20,466|RU3|HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO CHANGE
00:03:20,600|00:03:21,467|RU3|THE WAY I ACT?
00:03:21,601|00:03:26,239|RU3|AND OF COURSE, THERE'S A LOT
00:03:26,372|00:03:26,906|RU3|MORE WE NEED TO LEARN ABOUT
00:03:27,040|00:03:27,207|RU3|THIS.
00:03:27,340|00:03:27,907|RU3|>> RIGHT AND WE DO KNOW THE
00:03:28,041|00:03:28,675|RU3|THREAT IS DIRECTED AGAINST NEW
00:03:28,808|00:03:29,809|RU3|YORK AND WASHINGTON, BUT
00:03:29,943|00:03:30,810|RU3|SPECIFICALLY BEYOND THAT, WHAT
00:03:30,944|00:03:31,878|RU3|WE DON'T KNOW YET.
00:03:32,011|00:03:33,346|RU3|AND WE MAY NEVER KNOW.
00:03:33,479|00:03:35,181|RU3|I MEAN THESE THINGS COME UP,
00:03:35,315|00:03:36,983|RU3|THERE WAS ONE BEFORE THE
00:03:37,116|00:03:38,718|RU3|INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT OBAMA
00:03:38,851|00:03:39,986|RU3|HAD EVERYBODY IN TOWN VERY
00:03:40,119|00:03:41,187|RU3|CONCERNED AND ULTIMATELY NOTHING
00:03:41,321|00:03:42,188|RU3|CAME OF THAT EITHER.
00:03:42,322|00:03:44,457|RU3|SO THEY'RE REALLY SCRUBBING THIS
00:03:44,591|00:03:45,525|RU3|TONIGHT AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
00:03:45,658|00:03:46,593|RU3|WHAT TO DO.
00:03:46,726|00:03:48,027|RU3|>> WE FOUND REFERENCE AND KIND
00:03:48,161|00:03:52,498|RU3|OF ASPIRATIONAL PLANS WHEN THEY
00:03:52,632|00:03:53,466|RU3|RAIDED THE BIN LADEN COMPOUND,
00:03:53,600|00:03:54,634|RU3|LOOKING AT THIS NEXT BIG
00:03:54,767|00:03:55,735|RU3|ANNIVERSARY AND THINGS HE HAD ON
00:03:55,868|00:03:56,469|RU3|HIS MIND, BUT NO EVIDENCE IT WAS
00:03:56,603|00:03:58,104|RU3|MORE THAN THAT.
00:03:58,238|00:04:00,106|RU3|>> AND THAT IS THE FRAME THROUGH
00:04:00,240|00:04:01,908|RU3|WHICH ALL THIS IS BEING VIEWED,
00:04:02,041|00:04:03,376|RU3|BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT OBAMA
00:04:03,509|00:04:04,711|RU3|EXPRESSED SOME DESIRE TO HAVE
00:04:04,844|00:04:06,746|RU3|SOME KIND OF AN ATTACK AROUND
00:04:06,879|00:04:08,681|RU3|ICONIC EVENTS LIKE THIS 9/11
00:04:08,815|00:04:10,883|RU3|ANNIVERSARY, THAT'S WHAT GOT
00:04:11,017|00:04:12,852|RU3|EVERYBODY'S ANTENNA UP IN THE
00:04:12,986|00:04:13,553|RU3|FIRST PLACE.
00:04:13,686|00:04:15,622|RU3|>> WE'RE ON A STAND BY FOR THE
00:04:15,755|00:04:17,657|RU3|PRESIDENT TO ENTER THE CHAMBER
00:04:17,790|00:04:19,425|RU3|AND CHUCK TODD IS STANDING BY AT

00:04:22,161|00:04:24,297|RU3|DISCUSSION BEFORE WE TURN THE
00:04:24,430|00:04:25,365|RU3|CORNER INTO THE REASON AND
00:04:25,498|00:04:26,666|RU3|PURPOSE FOR THE SPEECH TONIGHT?
00:04:26,799|00:04:29,502|RU3|>> WELL, BRIAN, LOOK, WHAT I

00:04:45,918|00:04:47,220|RU3|AND RIGHT ON CLOCK WORK, THERE
00:04:47,353|00:04:47,987|RU3|WAS SOME DISCUSSION THAT IT
00:04:48,121|00:04:49,289|RU3|WOULD BE ISSUED AFTER THE
00:04:49,422|00:04:54,127|RU3|SPEECH, NONE OF THAT AND IT'S
00:04:54,260|00:04:54,894|RU3|ALL IN THE HANDS OF DHS AT THIS
00:04:55,028|00:04:55,495|RU3|POINT, BRIAN.
00:04:55,628|00:04:59,532|RU3|>> AND AS WE AWAIT THE PRESIDENT
00:04:59,666|00:05:03,703|RU3|ENTERING THE CHAMBER, WE SHOULD
00:05:03,836|00:05:06,439|RU3|TURN TO THE TOPIC IN CHIEF
00:05:06,572|00:05:06,806|RU3|TONIGHT.
00:05:06,939|00:05:09,208|RU3|THAT IS WITH OUR POLITICS SO

00:05:48,381|00:05:49,248|RU3|TO GET OUT OF IT?
00:05:49,382|00:05:49,949|RU3|>> Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE
00:05:50,083|00:05:51,851|RU3|KNOWS THIS IS A NOW OR NEVER

00:06:24,384|00:06:27,754|RU3|TO RAISE THE LEVEL OF AWARENESS

00:06:40,199|00:06:41,768|RU3|AND SUDDENLY INSTEAD OF IN BEING
00:06:41,901|00:06:44,337|RU3|A JOBS SPEECH AND AN AGENDA
00:06:44,470|00:06:45,738|RU3|CALL, IT TURNS QUICKLY TO THE
