Folks were then that the CIA and other CIA is not willing. At this point two to say anything about it habit that they knew that he was trying to reach out and contact al- -Qaeda now again.

While he was working back east at Walter Reed medical center army medical center so there -- these rolling eyes here. The motive is still the big question why urged that's what federal agents wanna know what was the trigger actor or Thursday that made this all go down. And they can't figure that out yet that their -- to really nailed down what made him -- Buick. He isn't speaking -- what he's better but doctors say he's not completely out of the woods just yet."

[2:52]" was he just crazy. Yeah Alex very quickly -- also heard that he was on the FBI's watch list and I remember after the 9/11 attacks we've heard that. The FBI and and other intelligence agencies had chatter on their scanner. And you know obviously the agencies dropped the ball. Do you think there's gonna be more backlash for our intelligence agencies in the wake of this."
[3:17]" Well articulate so a lot of questions are going to be asked we know that there was no pay a lot of -- work actively monitoring. But they didn't see -- at that particular that the military -- nobody ever told them about all this in the they had no idea that they had a major -- suspected and and being watched -- by the different agencies to give a lot of different agencies and -- we didn't think it was that big a -- somebody's gotta Lotta -- questions -- looks -- members -- congress to ask those questions."
