Jason Smith, R-Mo., sounds off against political violence following the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting and highlights the need for DHS funding on 'Sunday Morning Futures.' Donald Trump has been written off a thousand times and always managed to bounce back. He hung on when he first got in the race and was mocked as a sideshow. When the "Access Hollywood" tape came out. When his supporters attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6. He outlasted two impeachments and four criminal cases. He won re-election when that seemed like a long shot. He’s the Harry Houdini of Washington. And on Saturday night, he survived his third assassination attempt. At a dinner that was expected to feature the president mocking the media, his calm response to being targeted by a heavily armed shooter generated enormous sympathy for him. It’s a dangerous job, he said.
