people are in chuck this was so brazen an app in broad daylight nearly 7:00 in the morning on a workday here in new york city. but can you conclude at this point? >> at this point from reporting standpoint and investigation standpoint, we are all in the same posture of obviously identification, apprehension, and you know, obviously motive. motive is the big question for the reader, the viewer, and authorities. there are very good leads, solid leads investigators are pursuing as of this morning. one of them being critical pieces of evidence what authorities suspect the gun may be, which might be a rare type gun that is not normally sold in the tri-state area. they have a point of interest, not a person, but the point of interest where they believe if it turns out to be back on, it might lead to potential suspect. >> sandra: wow! that would be utah obviously.

the words left on the shell casings, you broke this story but what did it tell you? >> there were several words written on the shell casings. what that could prove to be as valuable as far as motive is concerned, perhaps grievance motive. but i think that will all come into play after positively identified. obviously, apprehended. but it certainly apprehend a bolt that six shell casings remained at the scene and three on spent live rounds and three spent shells with markings on them will certainly be very valuable. >> sandra: this was bobby chacon former fbi agent speaking about the writing on the shell casings. he concluded this. speak of the writing on the bullets means he was trying to a statement. he wants his position to be known. he wants people to know why he shot this guy, which helps because it narrows down suspects. do you have a pool of suspects that had a beef with the

penny took things too far appeared to the defense argued the client saved others and prosecutors have not proven that penny's restraint was the direct cause of neely's death. the court judge george had an interesting take about jurors request to rehear testimony. >> it shows that at least some jurors are still requiring more information on that absolutely crucial issue. because if ultimately, the jury finds that mr. penny's physical actions towards mr. neely were not the proximate cause of death, i think they must acquit. >> we have learned that neely's family filing a civil lawsuit against daniel penny and he will not allow it to become a distraction at this critical time, mike. >> mike: cb cotton outside of the courthouse in new york city, thank you very much, sandra.

government? i think for hundreds of federal programs, the answer is yes here to the government has taken over to do so much what the private sector, charitable sector, family she is to do in this country. with the government doesn't do it, it will continue, it just won't be with that taxpayer dollars. it will continue with meritorious. that is the first starting point they should ask themselves. at the second how can if only the government can do it, how will it make people's lives better? does everybody have to set aside three hours to show up at a government agency, or are there things three efficiency and modern corporations and businesses do to make people's lives faster, smoother, easier? that is the second point. i have faith with these two guys with outside experience will tackle in that manner. >> mike: and hang aground "the wall street journal" writes about the great d.o.g.e. reversal, "it is any how

faith in the constitutionally provided power if they go down this road not to mention they will open up the door for donald trump to did this four years as he's leading up is to put out preemptive pardons. it is bad thinking, and i hope the democrats don't go down this line and biden should not do it. >> mike: ari fleischer, great to have you. think is much. >> speak i think you. >> sandra: house task force that assassination attempt present electron with secret service director ronald rowe testifying and things got pretty heated. former secret service agent richard staropoli will be here to react next. joseph. >> mike: haley davidson pushing back after change that tournament policies. which players will be banned coming up.
