violence in california after a deadly weekend in sacramento. police arrested deandre martin. there are renewed calls for stricter gun laws. joining us to discuss efforts underway is assemblyman tang. i want to start by asking for your reaction to the bloodshed when you first found out. >> i found out like many others, waking up sunday morning. this was one block from the state capitol where i worked. it is an area where we would frequent quite often.

i know exactly where this area is. it is a very popular area. especially over the weekends. you have this horrific, senseless shooting. >> everybody wants action but opinions really differ on what that might look like and what might actually make a dent. one city councilwoman said more law enforcement will make a difference. >> i would love the federal government to step up. they have been one of the worst partners you can imagine. they have made it easier for the gun manufacturers and lobbyists to sell to anyone. you don't even have consistent laws around assault around our entire country. we worked very hard to make

california saver. we have some of the tightest good ordinances around the entire country. getting these guns off the streets, we have more guns than people on our streets. >> withholding the industry responsible really make a difference? is it the thought that they would just go out of business? how would that deter things when you're looking at us already having 393 million weapons and firearms out in the u.s.? >> you want a better manufacturing partner. every industry in this entire country, they are responsible for the particular damage their

product may cause. the federal law gave them a shield so they don't have to be responsible for any damage their products do on our street. this would allow ordinary citizens to turn -- to hold manufacturers accountable. it tells them about how to safely store guns and how to make sure they stay in the right hands. gun owners who do know how to handle their weapons, we want them -- we don't want them getting in the hands of their children or their friends who should not be having weapons. >> i don't know. tell me about whether the gun in this use was a ghost gun but i know there are efforts to contain them. you get the parts and you put it together yourself. i know some cities have a ban.

>> i am working with my colleague, mike gibson from carson. i am a joint arthur -- author on his legislation. this will make it much harder for people to get those guns. ghost guns are way too easy to get. they come in parts. you don't have to go through the waiting, the education you would have to get normally. the bottom line is we have way too many americans who believe that guns have more rights than people and that we should not be able to -- you see way too often that people are blaming the wrong thing. we just have way too easy access to guns. whether it is japan, germany, england, they have much stricter

regulations on who can get a gun. >> the second amendment and the constitution, people have not interpreted what we mean it to be federally. are you saying that we need to start looking at gun ownership as something that is more of a privilege? where you need to demonstrate both the skills and the purpose to have one? >> in california, you saw the vehicle accidents. over time, we have made driving a vehicle as well as being in a vehicle much safer. this one but other mass shootings, people were not even able to legally get guns, get a

lot of ammunition and arbitrate mass shootings. we need to make sure we are keeping guns out of the hands of young people. better job of that. >> i did a little research into the gun bills you got past into wall. what i wanted to ask you is if all of these guns have made a difference. do we have data? intuitively and logically, it sounds like they should help. >> one major problem with the federal government is they have defunded the cdc. they were specifically prohibited from the gun lobby to

do any research. they did restraining orders. their research is amazing because they are one of the only ones doing it in the country. they just try to keep the facts out of people's hands because they know they are compelling. qwest you know that people argue that if more people had guns, they would be better equipped to defend themselves in that situation such as we had and take down any mass shooters out there. what do you say to that line of thinking? >> what you saw is 75 ammunition fired. it was not the fact that the shooting lasted for a long time and the perpetrator was there for hours, this happened because

they had a weapon that could fire at that level of speed. that is the kind of weapon that should not be anybody's possession. that is a military type of weapon. you don't need that weapon to go and defend yourself. that is a weapon that is designed to kill as many people as possible. >> with california having stricter laws -- would it make much more of a dent if other states are not following suit or are even rolling back there gun laws? qwest california believes in leadership. we need other states, we don't follow other states. we have less gun violence here in california and other places. because of these gun laws.

i our state safer. we will keep pushing stricter gun laws because we feel that we are not doing enough. we have way too many guns in the hands of the wrong people. >> thank you so much for your time and insight today. i appreciate it. coming up next, the big move made today by elon musk, there world's richest man is actually the world's largest shareholder at twitter.

media world today when there was a vicious demand bought a 10%

share of twitter. elon musk is not single largest shareholder. he has the eighth largest follower on twitter, tweeting this message to his 80 million followers. joining us to discuss why he might have made a move is in. it seems like like investors like it. twitter shares really jumped. >> yes. wall street is a weird animal. especially when it comes to elon musk. we have seen a lot of weird meme stuff type go on. when gamestop was going crazy, that stock -- part of it was when elon musk tweeted about it.

those going and those other cryptocurrency crazy things, elon musk's name attached to it and became a thing. him getting involved with twitter drew some attention. there is a larger question about what he wants to do. he has influence over how the company will operate. >> a seat at the table. he is -- he has often criticized twitter when it comes to free speech. he asked people if twitter vigorously adheres to this principle, meaning allowing free speech which he says is essential to a functioning democracy. what is his game here? >> trying to figure out elon

musk's game has become its own job. i really don't know. but i think part of what we are seeing is that a lot of the pushback against social media is starting to take some real form. if you look at it in the larger grand scheme of things, you look at what is happening on capitol hill, they are started to put pressure on facebook and twitter. you see what is happening among the people upset with twitter and the world -- the words they -- and the rules they have. especially after everything that happened with january 6. you see a lot of other ones getting attention. including true social which president trump started. the point is that these things have a hard time getting off the ground.

if you look at elon musk and his frustration with it all, he sees all of this money wasted by trying to get laws passed and building a competitor. own nine to 10% of a company, does that obligate the ceo to listen to you? >> politics. while he does not have a controlling interest, he does not own more than 50% of twitter shares or these voting powers, what he does have is the largest seat at the table of all the shareholders. because he owns the most shares. in theory, if he got really going, he could influence a lot of shareholders.

that is why you see a lot of companies responding to these activist shareholders. they will buy of the largest amount or maybe one of the largest amounts of the outstanding shares and then advocate for change. that includes getting on the board, telling the ceo i don't agree with the way you are doing things and starting to pressure them. it has happened in exxon mobil, a bunch of banks. it is not a surprise to see them doing this. it is about elon musk. >> let's talk about how the road tweets, the random tweets are used here. in 2018, there was an sec ruling after he tweeted that he was going to take tesla. that was not the case at all and then he was subject to some regulations. >> he does not like the way he

is treated on social media. seeing him push back this, he said he wants to fight over this. it is really just a continuation of the larger conversation we are seeing online. there are a lot of people trying to argue whether in good faith or bad faith, they are arguing. increasingly become important after the attack at the capital. that is why he is part of this conversation. any practical changes?

>> the future of always changing. when they start change, they can cause some serious changes. we all know the story from there. that is important to keep in mind. wherever twitter has been ever since it started, it may not be what it is six months from now. i think that is why we all have to watch very closely, particularly with a character like elon musk who has made it clear he does not agree with the way twitter acts right now. >> he brought up democracy in that sweet of his but whenever billionaires own social media companies, is that inherently good or bad for democracy? >> i work in the news business

which has always been a plaything for billionaires. it is tough for me to really judge. the big? is how will he act? what will he try to do? i think we really saw this on january 6. people are tired of hearing that date but it is really important to keep in mind how much your social media played a role in that and not just twitter but facebook and a bunch of others. i think by having a prominent figure on social media try to influence it, that raises a lot of questions. >> it does. thank you so much for joining us today. appreciate chatting with you

coming our way this week. let's bring in spencer question to talk about what we are looking at. this is the, or the cool before the storm. >> that is right. it will start to warm up a little bit. temperatures may be about five to seven degrees warmer than today. we are going to have a sharp increase of temperatures. intense warming. expect high temperatures in land around 88 or 89 degrees. this is more like what you would expect in august and september. on the coast, we will see 70's and on thursday we expect that to be the hottest day of the week. we expect 94 or 95 degrees. this is right around the bay shoreline.

maybe up to about 80 in the warmest coastal spots. on friday, maybe 80 or 91 in land. this is a building ridge of high pressure -- we will have wind blowing offshore. mind. it is such a sharp warm up and the air will be so dry. >> excessive heat one is, that is possible when you get into the 90's. >> it is possible. we expect only one day of truly excessive heat.

children and anyone with any type of medical condition that would cause them to feel weaker. >> with some heat waves, we have the coast which might be 10 or 20 degrees cooler. that is not the case with this one. >> that offshore wind flow, when we have that kind of pattern, it generally carries the warm air all the way out to sea. we will see high temperatures definitely in the 70's over on the coast. of the coastal areas. this is great beach weather. that means the people in the inland areas will be sizzling and scorching with temperatures in the mid-90's or higher.

there is the chance. a chance for some record high temperatures for thursday's date. we are not predicting it yet but there is that chance. >> how unusual is it in april to have 90 degree weather? is that something that we do get? >> it is very unusual. it has happened in the past. it is a capable thing. -- it is an occasional thing. because it is an isolated occurrence, we should not link that to climate change. >> because it is not sustained for more than a couple of days, you don't expect the impact on the power grid. >> a sustained heat wave, three days or more, three consecutive days or more of temperatures 10 degrees or more on average.

that is what we would expect. may be some power outages, overloading the grid. there might be health conditions that were made worse by the extreme heat. >> should we take this as an omen or not that we are done over the season for rain? >> it looks like we are done in terms of any beneficial rain. that is possible. we will see some light rain going into the late spring. that happens occasionally but in terms of significant or beneficial rain, that might mitigate the drought, we don't
