i always tell people to spend less time doing it yet there i am at night, smoking it usually makes my blood pressure go up. i tell myself social media is a harmless drinking partner and i have company i don't have to put cheese and crackers out. msnbc calls it cheese and white people. [laughter] how would i w be as a person ifi

stopped even for a week? a study reveals look at happen if you saw stop usual social media. you to die. i'm kidding, you don't die. the opposite, you live. a study finds avoiding social media platforms for ones week te weekend plus five, kat. significant improves a person's well-being reducing anxiety and depression. if there were a pill that had the same effect in one week, you take it. t i think we used to call those quaaludes, right dagan? the social media isn't something you can take like the president teeth, it's something you have to remove. [laughter] and that is harder. a study researchers from the university his weight bedroni tn urinal at the state college. nine hours a week online whether scrolling through instagram, facebook, twitter, facebook or my favorite, mature milfs.

[laughter] to find out what might happen when you cut back, researchers had over 150 people age 18 to 72 do just that. even 72-year-old, what are they online?year-old, what are they anybody see grammy? she's teaching people how to strain pasta through nylons on tik tok. they compared their normal usage in which they were online for three minutes a day, the same amount on research. [laughter] jesse after his recent hair transplant and back surgery. [laughter] the results were astonishing. after one week without social media, there were dramatic improvements in well-being across the board.

why is this important? social media like smoking is something we do almost without thinking. sometimes it's the first thing we do when we wake up, the last thing before we sleep or right after sex at a truck stop. [laughter] it has become a two pack a day habit, putting tar on our brains. dozens of harmful effects being online constantly nodding including the chances of running into anthony weiner. [laughter] but there's more to it and it something overlooked by all the research, we humans can only focus on one thing at a time. go ahead, try to hold to thoughts in your head. wait, see? it's impossible butdy you alreay knew that. one day you could be in a great mood, sunshiny, work is great, got plans for the weekend, then it can disappear and all you think about is one thing. social media could introduce one disturbing thoughts that muscles

everything else out and it ruins your day and leads to sleepless nights. a distraction like an insult from a stranger, somebody you don't even know. social media created a direct process of aggressive stimulus we as humans are not evolved get to handle. our brain and young brains especially, we can't tell the differencet between what's worse thinking about and what is important to think about. all you do is think about whatever enters your scroll. not good. maybe it's time to take t a brek especially stopping just for one week is a positive benefit. why don't we try it? what's the worst that could happen? >> you know, greg is right for once. i'm wasting time checking things on twitter any instagram and facebook and only fans and linked and. time for me to start living. ♪♪

[cheering] she believes the grass is always weiner when you sell it to college kids. fox news contributor, kat timpf. [cheering] and the fire department calls him when the kat is stuck in the

tree, champion taras tyrus. [cheering] unlike the rest of us, you seem to be a a grown up, you have a suit, a real job. you let certain y things under your head like -- i think people dwill often lie and say i don't take anything online seriously, i don't read my mention. everybody does it if there's one thing that gets in your head, it crowds out everything and pushes this fun stuff in this one, he's a big fat jerk. [laughter] and you're not, by the way. >> this is a rental so if you could get through the show fast, i've got to get back in time. having worked at the white house, you do learn to block stuff out.

i like social media. and to look at but i do have the ability to say this is not, this is not. just some things are important and other things you know is just peoplee screaming. greg: do you have kids? >> the ability to hear people screaming? greg: yes. do you worry about them then? >> no. greg: that'sre impossible. >> that's what you think. greg: what your kids first name? [laughter] >> her fake name? [laughter] it's not their thing. they look at stuff but i know because i check. [laughter] greg: well, look. kudos to them. i just don't believe it. my parents never knew i had a stack of playboys under my mattress. one day they just disappeared. didn't see my dad for a week. [laughter] dagan, you know what i'm talking

about, do you ever look at social media before you go to bed, is it destructive? >> i prefer social media to real life. [laughter] reality is way overrated and i'm not exaggerating, come to work this morning new york city, i saw a guy wearing a fuzzy bear mask riding a bike sharing what looked like a homemade sword. on social media i don't run the risk of actuallyk getting named and having him take my hand as a souvenir or on social media, you know what depression is? walking outside and the bright sunlight hitting my face. i want to go back in and hide for days. on social media, i can filter these half-century old gams. they look like they belong to a dude. [laughter] greg: a very sexy due to the. >> you don't have to brush your teeth on social media and every

baby is adorable and we all have family and friends who have had babies who looked like dannylo devito and you have to laugh, ignore it and pray it grows out of it. greg: i call it the great effect, if we get into the world of virtual reality, everybody is going to be awesome in virtual n reality as they get bigger and fatter and grocer because they are not going anywhere so it's like the painting that ages. that was just an analogy, i'll shut up. that went over well. t[laughter] do i just stay here awkwardly? >> we are. [laughter] d greg: know you understand what i'm talking about? >> we don't even knowal who youe talking to. it's got where you just talked in our direction and one of us feels that? do you want to take this?

>> i was like i want to wait until it becomes my problem. [laughter] greg: what you think, tyrus? [laughter] >> unfortunately, i agree, social media is a bigger problem anyone can deal with. i can't stand it and most of the people i know on it are living horrible personal lives but the social media is phenomenal. the pictures are always smiling, madly in love and they say things like for hours since i've seen my husband, oh no, what will i do? deep down they haven't spoke in weeks in real life. [laughter] i get it what dagen said, a great cover but i have two, twitter an instagram, they are connected so i deal with one. i look at it two hours a week so i guess i'm winning. my kids, i'm constantly snatching phones and ipads. the genius behinden getting onle

and blocking, i hope you're right but mine is seven and i can't leave any electronics, she can turn the microwave into a social media post. [laughter] greg: that's amazing. i've noticed on instagram reels, crazy things, i'm having a good time i'm crazy, you know what i'm talking about? >> i do actually spew out your like look at my baby. [laughter] >> all these different subsets of that.if like single mom but i'm still really happy phase i think most of it is. i think i'm fine with social media. it wasn'tn' around when i was in high school, a lot of talk about teenagers an instagram massively depressed and i'm sure it was around when i was in high school, interim would have made me massively depressed so i just got depressed about other stuff. [laughter] which is what i would do anywa. greg: you can't study teens

because they are depressed about everything. >> we have to be fair, the more on, you are an influencer. now you can be a leading expert on nothing. greg: next, must claims buys from silicon valley and trump band may not be it finale. [cheering] psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail. no one should suffer like that. i started cosentyx®. five years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx.

before starting get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infection, some serious and a lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reaction may occur. best move i've ever made. ask your dermatologist about cosentyx®.

zuriel: st. jude gave us hope. ask your dermatologist stephanie: all you've got to do is take care of your child, focus on her healing, give her a life. that for mother means a lot. and-- and thank you to st. jude.

>> greg: welcome back. he gives the bias meeting a elon musk mildly successful man before i met him. this week's headquarters located in the bay area created a problem for the app and not because everyone sliding in the poop covered sidewalk. i think it's twitter needing to be much more evenhanded.

>> twitter needs to be more evenhanded, it currently has a strong left bias because it's basically san francisco.ed the rest of the united states. greg: musk noted if and when he takes over twitter, the indefinite band of former president trumpmp and also by ma capitol made of dark chocolate. >> i think was a morally bad decision and foolish in the extreme.he the twitter band should be extremely rare and reserved for accounts that are spam accounts. e country and did not ultimately e result in donald trump not having a voice. >> greg: jack dorsey who was ceo when trump was banned agrees with musk saying he believes then and now that twitter bans shouldn't be permanent. speaking of which, the media's already worried about trump's twitter comeback. here's brian stelter opening his

mouth. so, kids, feel free to throw sardines. >> will trump benefit from being able to tweet again or will it actually hurt him and i don't think any of us have any idea. >> i feel like elon musk knew that he is goes to escape to space and the rest of us earth slings will have to deal with this. that's my take. >> greg: i don't think any of us have any idea. looks like cnn's found their new slogan. finally jimmy kimmel creator of the man's show questions musk's morality. >> speaking of baby, elon musk if his deal to buy twitter goes through he will reverse the ban on our infant former president donald trump. oh, good we have the part-time d.j. who makes flame throwers and cars that park in charge of morality. the guy who names his kid roman numerals will make sure they don't do anything foolish. >> greg: says the guy who wore black face. elon beat nasa back to space and build the biggest electric car

company and better to be a part-time d.j. who makes flame throwers than the host of a last place late night show. but i wouldn't know. i'm the king of late night. is that too harsh tyrus? >> tyrus: no, i loved it. >> greg: okay. good. good. if the ban is lifted, should he return tyrus? >> tyrus: i would make him wait. >> greg: yeah? >> tyrus: if i was the president and they were like you're free, i'll get around to. and then see the baiting and the seltzer and the news coverage it will be trump watch. instead whereof the covid stuff used to be there will be a clock, president trump 16 hours no movement. no movement. and do things like dot dot dot, you know, and then just sigh. and just, oh, we're still waiting for a moment. and then have him like put his favorite food recipes up for a

while. just enjoy the moment and everybody jumping on board because secretly cnn will be like if he gets to twitter we're back, we're back. >> greg: that's right. >> tyrus: because that's hours of coverage. every tweet 26 panelists back on the job. [laughter] >> greg: like hollywood squares. >> tyrus: it will be christmas. yeah, everybody will be coming back, it will be like tim back on twitter guess what gutfeld, worse than water gate >> greg: yes. kat, it actually, him on twitter is better for cnn than trump. he must know that, right? >> kat: yeah, absolutely. it was weird to watch people on cnn and jimmy kimmel pretend like they would not be thrilled for trump to be back on twitter. i mean cnn plus might have survived. they would have had something to talk about. because when he was on twitter it was almost every segment was something that he tweeted and how that tweet was going to single handedly end the country

as we know it. >> greg: yeah >> kat: they had it all worked out. they didn't have to do any work, where's the tweet? what are we going to say about it? over. so easy. and it didn't accomplish what they wanted it to accomplish. like they took trump off twitter and every trump support shall was like guess i don't like that guy anymore. not how it worked out. >> greg: that one little clip from cnn encapsulated what we were always saying which is they prefer to have war, inflation, and high crime and no trump tweets, to trump tweets with no war, no inflation and low crime. because to them, just the emotional effects of his tweeting is worse than any of the falcons sequence consist of like getting stabbed, you know? >> dagen: and speaking of space, those jackie jaws are rotting in asteroids about to plunge into

the sea so they want trump back. and don't think for a minute including kimmel if they bumped into elon musk at some waterway that they wouldn't be licking his boots and genuflecting and begging musk for a job, offering to like baby-sit his kids and clip his toenails in public. he's the richest man in the world. that's all they know is succeeding up. >> greg: yeah, that is true. can't be that, can you? his point is well taken about where twitter is located, right? and i think that's a problem with all of silicon valley is they believe in this idea of diversity but they all think the same. it would be like if fox moveded to in the midlands texas. it would probably change it right? >> ari: the problem with all these companies and a lot of places in new york, too, the young work force who thinks their job is not to do their job

but their job is to set society's wrongs. so somebody needs to tell me in what universe could it possibly be the right thing to do to ban voices with whom you disagree. don't we all grow? aren't we all better because you heard somebody's voice that you disagreed with and you had to make an intellectual argument or a tweet against it. but there is a a group of people who say if you're not liberal and not part of my college campus community the way i was raised on a college campus you don't deserve a voice and therefore social media should shut you down. and the press has bought into this and that's the other problem we have in our society. the media loves this stuff and the media thought the american people erred when they voted for trump in 2016 and it was the press's job to reverse what the american people did so they went after donald trump. >> greg: is he running you think? >> ari: yeah. >> greg: yeah. and then when he wins are you going to be his press secretary? >> ari: no. i'd have to rent five suits. no. >> greg: all right. i think we broke --.

>> tyrus: do they get the old tweets back if they reinstate him?. >> greg: that's a good -- yeah. >> tyrus: because i'm sure they want to buy them because then they can just do tweets in review. it will be a whole show on cn. >> greg: you just gave them the best idea they ever had tyrus. >> ari: tweets in review the republican is in danger. >> greg: yes. worse than water gate part three. up next an allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! flonase all good.

[♪♪] did you know many anti-fungal products are not intended for the nails? try kerasal. unlike others, it's formulated with clinically-proven ingredients that penetrate fungus-damaged nails to start improving nail appearance in just two days. try kerasal. >> greg: he tried to make a stand by super gluing his hand. yesterday, crazed actor james cromwell teamed up with peta, super glued his hand to the counter at a new york city starbucks to either protest the high cost of vegan milk or to celebrate the low cost of super glue. thankfully the police arrived and freed him by chopping off his hand. [laughter] >> greg: i kid, but that would have been cool, huh? standing in line would have made

it worth it. he's upset that at starbucks milk made from-almonds or soy costs more than regular old milk from a cow's utter and cromwell's had it up to his nipples. >> all over the world you give these things away, no charge for it. here they're's an enormous charge. why when it's so important now to address climate change. there's no reason for it except agreed. >> greg: all right. or because your stupid fake milk costs more to make. you don't have to be a biologist or a supreme court justice to know milk doesn't naturally come from a nut, unless bette midler is lack at a timing. [laughter] [cheers and applause] >> greg: it's not only you can make a joke about lactation. but he certainly isn't the first person to super glue himself to

something as a form of protests. activists are super gluing themselves at cafe counters, professional basketball courts, outside the british parliament and this just happened here at work. >> this is an outrage. do you not care about the rain forest? you all shower every day. i save gallons and gallons of water by showering only in my mind. my hands are glued to this counter because this is a civil war. showers versus unshowered. >> debra, listen, the company has agreed to your demands, unglue yourself, you just need to sign here. >> oh, great. >> forget it. >> can you give me a ride? what's in your house. i need to sleep at your house but only for like two weeks. i promise. >> greg: dirt bag deb. just shows how diverse fox news is that we have hired dirtbags

to keep around because she makes us happy. you know, day began, i get the feeling that cromwell wants like a government subsidy to offset the price differential that musk got with electric cars but he wants it with soy milk. >> dagen: is that wrong, though? the government's throwing money -- like elon musk would not exist without government money pouring into that company. he's vegan, he's 82. cromwell looks pretty good. >> greg: yeah well you're vegan. >> dagen: sometimes. and i do like the fact that he's calling out starbucks hypocrisy because they're pumping and humping this green agenda, we're going to get rid of, we're going to move away from meat based or animal based products, and he's like okay, if you're going do that then why is it so much more expensive. you need to walk the talk and encourage people to use these

vegan milks or whatever. they're not milk technically. but if you're going to super glue something to the counter, super glue something that hurts when you have to rip it off. >> greg: oh, yeah. [laughter]. >> dagen: like your lower leadership. >> greg: did you ever mistake super glue for other things? >> dagen: yes. >> greg: we've all been there haven't we kat? >> kat: i've actually not been there. >> greg: seems like a strange hill to die on as an animal rights activist. because we still can't figure out if all these alternative milks are bad or environment >> kat: i think it was a huge win for him >> greg: okay. >> kat: i know who he is now. i had never heard of this person. and it's, i guess, it's good to be passionate about something. for me it's not so much cows. >> greg: no

>> kat: sorry to all the cows who watch the show. but i think -- because there is so much hypocrisy with starbucks, they act like they care, they clearly don't care and this is a way -- i always respect when people commit to the bit. he could have just done a tweet but he's like, no, i'm going to go glue myself to the counter. i like passion. so -- >> greg: on there you go. there you go. cromwell's getting some respect here although i don't -- doesn't he understand that the more something costs, the more it will cost you? >> ari:. >> ari: i have e never heard of this guy even after this segment i still don't want to hear of this guy. >> greg: he created la confidential. >> ari: but doesn't glue come from horses or frogs. >> tyrus: from an animal. >> ari: if glue comes from an animal and he's a peta guy how

can he use glue. >> greg: i think in the old day it came from horses boobs which is why joy bay heart's so short. but it's synthetic. a sixest might say. >> tyrus: i was just like what did horses do to you to deserve that [laughter]. >> greg: i think most of the glue is synthetic. i think it's synthetic, right?. >> ari: that doesn't change the principle he's a peta guy, he should respect the horse, the original source. >> greg: respect the horse, the original source. you are our m&m. eminem. >> ari: i don't know what that is either. . >> tyrus: it's a compliment. >> greg: it is actually. >> dagen: not the candy ari >> ari: oh. >> greg: very clever, by the way. tyrus. >> tyrus: yeah. i'm just worried about kat's social media tonight when she gets attacked by cows all over the country >> kat: i would welcome my cow

overlords. >> greg: don't you think that animal rights activists suffer from a consciousness privilege because they believe that plants don't have a consciousness, we can eat them. but they're still alive, tyrus. alive and silently screaming? >> tyrus: actually, if you want to go there, plants, trees especially, and a lot of plants have families, they raise their children, they have their seeds grow up next to them and feed off their roots if you really want to go there and really want to be woke. and just to make your little soybean kurd soup you have to kill a lot of little things, all the snakes, bugs, gophers, little rabbits and beatles, lady bugs. all those things got to eat the dirt for you to sit there and glue your hand on a desk that doesn't work. that's the thing about, if you're going to protest do it right. in the old days they cared they chained themselves to something. you object get them off. you're like i'm going to super

glue myself. no you're not. like the girl with the basketball court she didn't realize it took 15 20 minutes to set. she couldn't believe they were dragging her off much like your skit >> kat: that was not me. i could never look that ugly. >> tyrus: it was a joke >> kat: i look like this all the time, from the moment i wake up -- thank you, to the moment i go bed. [cheers and applause] >> kat: i grow all this hair on my own. >> tyrus: you do a good job >> kat: natural beauty. >> tyrus: this is fake outrage a rich guy complaining he pays too much for soy. >> greg: isn't soy bad. >> tyrus: do you need it? why aren't you at starbucks anyways? [bleep] [bleep] >> kat: it does not give you boobs, i tried that. >> dagen: it doesn't work on women >> kat: i tried for years, soy, soy, soy, boom, 32-a still.

>> dagen: and by the way if anybody wants to be angry at star bruck's they have conned the unit verse into drinking milk shakes for brooks koepka sniffed absolutely you're drinking 16 ounces of sugar and cream. people want to know why we are he a obese it's not mcdonald's, it's cereal and starbucks. and i'm a nutritionist. coming up brady's contract

>> greg: oh, look, after brady's done with the nfl, he won't be staying home with gisele. yeah, fox didn't wait to start baying the quarterback that's still playing. tom brady has signed a massive broadcasting deal with fox sports to analyze nfl games after his retirement. the 10-year contract is reportedly worth $375 million. now he can finally afford to get his ugly face fixed. [laughter]

>> greg: what a homely guy. he's no madison cawthorn. let's be honest. brady quietly considered the greatest quarterback of all time, although he's no trent dilfer. >> tyrus: no, he's not. >> greg: will now also become -- trent del perfect. the highest paid nfl broadcaster of all time. good for us, hiring tom might be the best decision someone at fox has made since hiring yours truly [cheers and applause]. >> greg: thank you, thank you. oh, stop, stop. we're going to edit it out anyway. which raises the question, can two titans coexist at the same company? one of us is a legendary athletic specimen adored by millions, and the other is tom brady. saw that one coming, didn't you? >> tyrus: yes, i did. >> greg: yes. so let's look at the facts, shall we?

>> it's the tale of the tape greg gutfeld of tom brady who's the most successful graduate of the high school in california. gutfeld five new york times best sellers. brady one. >> gutfeld three wildly successful tv shows. brady none. gutfeld no super bowl losses. bready three super bowl losses. gutfeld plays eight seasons of youth soccer. brady no documented soccer experience. gutfeld in 2000 was editor and chief of self magazine. brady in 2000 was drafted in the sixth round. the 199th pick. what a lorries. and finally brady is known for not shaking hands after a loss. gutfeld shakes hands of all human beings regardless of age, race, sex or political affiliation. this has been the tale of the tape, gutfeld versus brady.

>> greg: yes. kat, can't we agree that i am happier than tom brady? he might be a tad better looking and slightly better in sports but i am happy you know me as a happy person. i cannot get any happier >> kat: i would never say that about you. >> tyrus: yeah, have you ever gotten a happy -- >> kat: yeah, just want to make sure you have a great day. >> tyrus: no. he's like you won't believe this. >> greg: really? >> tyrus: i am writing to inform you that that behavior will not be tolerated >> kat: yeah. >> tyrus: you've ruined my day. >> greg: you know --. >> tyrus: yeah, right? >> kat: i knew i should have been an nfl quarterback. >> greg: you couldn't pick up a football >> kat: i could. if i used two hands i could. >> greg: but you can't throw a football with two hands. tyrus, him and i both went to the same high school i have to bring that up all the time. >> tyrus: you constantly do. >> greg: and i'm tired of the fact they named a field after

him when my name is gutfeld. they could call it gutfeld field. >> tyrus: maybe you'll get the library because you write books. >> greg: i don't think so. the library at sarah high school was not clean. it was a very dirty disgusting --. >> tyrus: how would you know? big reason why probably. >> kat: make sure of it. >> tyrus: this might work out in your favor. historically when the great go to broadcasting it doesn't work out very well. jordan, muhammad ali, they played the game at such a high level when they talk about it they come across as condescending. >> greg: because there's no one better than they are. >> tyrus: and when they watch guys play it's super critical. so this might not be i hate to say it but this could be the best thing that ever happened to you. >> greg: fantastic. >> tyrus: he's going to come to you for help. >> greg: and i won't be there because where was he when i needed help ari? where? answer me press secretary. >> ari: who graduated first, you or him. >> greg: i know we look so close

in age but i did graduate first. >> ari: just a little. >> greg: 1980 -- what was it? '87. >> tyrus: you graduated early though, too, correct? kathy hochul is about to give an update in buffalo where at least ten people were killed in a shooting at a supermarket that began this afternoon. let's listen to the mayor and then the governor. >> the shooting in the city of buffalo this afternoon, 13 people shot, ten deceased. three with non- life-threatening injuries. as soon as the information came out about the shooting, governor hochul from albany was on the phone with me and other elected officials and law enforcement leaders in the community. i want to think the governor for

a very quick response to this horrific situation in buffalo and working from albany, the government got here as quickly as he could to render support to the community and to check on the status of the victims families. i'm going to turn it over to kathy hochul. >> thank you, mayor brown and elected officials including leaders and district attorney who has a lot on her hands right now. i want to thank the buffalo police department for exceptional work in handling this situation and also i want to thank the new york state police who have been embedded from the very beginning, state police role is supportive here locally but also a prime role working with the fbi to secure the home of the individual of

the region from the seven tier and unmask as much evidence as humanly possible in your term. it's hard to know what to say, this is my community, i know this community well, i walked these streets. i know the individuals who live here, a wonderful tightknit neighborhood. to see the sense of security shattered by an individual, a white supremacist who has engaged in an act of terrorism and will be prosecuted as such in a coldhearted cool calculating way, military style execution targeting people who simply want to buy groceries at a neighborhood store, it strikes us in our very hearts to know there's such evil that lurks out

there. yes i'm here to control the families in a community feeling so much pain right now but mark my words, we will be aggressive in our pursuit of anyone who subscribes to the ideals professed by other white supremacist and a feeding frenzy on social media platforms where hate festers more hate. that has to stop. these outlets must be more vigilant in monitoring social media content and certainly the fact that this act of barbarism, execution of innocent human beings to be live streamed on social media platforms and not taking down within a second says

to me there's the responsibility out there and we will continue to work on this and make sure those who provide these platforms have a moral and ethical and i hope to have a legal responsibility to ensure so fate can not populate these sites because this is the result when you have individuals who use these platforms and talk to others who share these demented views and support each other and talk about the techniques they will engage in and post these ideas and share them with others in the hope they can someday rise up in their demented view of the world. that's what white supremacist heroism is about. that's what we did today on the streets of buffalo, new york. it has to end right here and

that is our message. we will continue to work at the federal, state and local level with our partners to help identify these messages as soon as they arrive on social media. that is our best defense right now as well as the legal system and the prosecution and it's my sincere hope that this individual, this white supremacist who just perpetrated a hate crime on an innocent community will spend the rest of his days behind bars. heaven help him in the next world as well. yet, i am angry. i've seen violence and guns on the brooklyn subway and now in the streets of buffalo, it has to stop. it has to stop. on tuesday in albany, we are to

plan to announce a comprehensive gun passage to address further loopholes that exist in our loss. we are doing everything we can to ensure our laws are tight, ironclad, law enforcement have read the the resources they need and why i started a gun intervention passport last january, united states as well as nypd teamed up with us to make sure we can identify when guns are coming across the border from places like pennsylvania gun shows and end up in small communities in broome county. we don't know that's the worst of the modification made through guns, we are going to find out. we are going to continue addressing this every single way we can. we are going to be preparing our states for what could be a

supreme court decision that allows people to carry concealed weapons. we are ready, here to protect our people. thank you. any questions? >> can you tell us where he is from? >> i know law enforcement is securing the home right now and getting that, i will not disclose the location at this time. >> social media post from others claiming to be involved, can you confirm -- who's in custody and other people trying? >> that's something law enforcement has to be aware of in the aftermath, not uncommon people who try to take credit in the situation but they are being

run down and investigated and there's no confirmation at this time. do you have anything different? >> what is your message? people were just going grocery shopping. >> they will but let us take this moment to breathe. there's a community out there that has had their hearts ripped open. all of us suffer with them, family is still finding out, their loved one is not coming home for dinner tonight. people can get there groceries tomorrow. >> you talk about social media, there were social media concerns prior to today and on social media, do you have concerns -- >> that's what i want to find out. exactly. the social media platforms that profit from their existence need

to be responsible for monitoring and having surveillance knowing they can be an accomplice to crime like this perhaps not legally but morally they created the platform to allow this hate to be spewed and others like minded to be radicalized, people may not have intended to go down this path but they read this, it is pervasive, they take lives that are out there and we know how insidious it is, we seen the effects, particularly the act of live streaming it if the fact that that could it be hosted on a platform is shocking. we need to find out what happened and how to make sure it doesn't happen again. >> the social media footprint -- [inaudible] >> absolutely monitored by everyone involved. the platform and law enforcement

to monitor millions of posts in search of information like this and as part of the inquiry. >> was at one weapon or more than one weapon? [inaudible] >> my understanding, it was in illegally obtained weapon, modified with illegal magazines that could have been acquired anywhere, we will find out where they came from but they were in the state of pennsylvania, it's not hard to make the modification but it became illegal when it was modified. [inaudible question] >> we are not going to comment at this time. >> will take one more. >> a lot of people in this committee here --

working tirelessly to find all evidence to make sure this person is successfully prosecuted. ultimately that will be the outcome.
