atf, fbi, branch davidians.for the two government agencies, atf and fbi, the best possible result for them, the result that they wanted, even though they did things that were against it, was for everyone to come out a live. no one have a scratch, another drop of blood be shed. the fact they found a self as situation was original intent. the only group where death was a part of the agenda the branch davidians believed that the lamb and his followers had to die to fulfill the prophecies and revelations so they could be translated back by god to lead a final fight against babylon. the only ones that expected this and looked at it as a reward was the branch davidians. host: congress reopened investigations into waco in 1995. here's a portion from the congressional hearings of atf director john. he responds to those concerns about gun rights in america. [video clip] >> make no mistake, i take all criticism of atf to hard. if criticism is fair, i will move to correct the problem. if criticism is unfair or unfounded, i

still the atf modernization act, and what it does is simply make it easier fors the atf to do is job by removing limitations that were put in place and remain embedded in appropriation bills that simply are designed to make it harder for them to trace guns used in crime, or have the practical effect of doing that. so we look forward to getting your input on that. thank you, madam chair. >> thank you, senator van hollen. i have a few more questions before we close the hearing. i want to begin with the crime victims fund, because we saw that the focus, has been helpful and addressing some of the reductions in the crimewe victis fund over the last several years. but he posits are still substantially lower than their average, annual average between fiscal years 2007-2017. so my question, my first questionsu is, does of the departmentar thank there are any larger settlements that are in the pipeline? secondly, earlier this year the justice department announced revisions to the criminal divisions corporatete enforcemet policy which provides additional incentives to companies for voluntary

this extends to the national security division, the fbi, and the atf. covers both foreign terrorism, foreign based terrorism in the united states, and domestic terrorism. >> great, thank you. madam chair. >> thank you senator peters and senator hagerty. you are not here when the attorney general and i, and senator moran all expressed our condolences to the families of tennessee. >> i certainly heard the comments, chair. i very much appreciate that. and likewise, general garland, i appreciate the conversation i had with you yesterday. and your opening remarks today and the sympathies that you conveyed. this is an unspeakable active evil. it is a depraved murderers gruesome actions that have led to the deaths of 39 year old children. and three adults in my hometown, my home state of nashville, tennessee. i join my friends, the families there, the communities, in mourning for the victims, their families, for the covenant church community. and for the city of nashville in the state of tennessee. i appreciate the outpouring of condolences that have come from

the atf doesn't make laws. congress does. there is a thing called separation of powers. can't wait to drive him -- dragged him into oversight and remind him of that [applause] as you leave here, i want you to take everything that you have learned and share that. i want to do -- i want you to shine a light across this nation. america is the greatest country because of the men and women who have sacrificed and given their all for her. [applause] i am tired of these politicians who think that if they give you your rights and that they are better than everyone else, they have set out to destroy this great country. without -- 23 million americans unable to pay their electricity bills periods -- electricity bills. sacrificing the energy independence that president trump got for us. borders that we must announce to care. that must be part of every funding debate that we have. we are going to fund a borderless country -- we are not going to fund a borderless country and we are not going to fund here any any longer -- fund tyranny any longer. shine a light in your family, in your

disgruntled former branch davidians had made claims to atf. that those that were left following david koresh were likely to take some of their automatic weapons. the ones they did not sell at gun shows. and, to send into waco or some other place and slaughter innocent people as a means of bringing in the government. bringing about the end times of the bible. atf thought it was not only acting to confiscate illegal automatic weapons, but, in fact, public safety was involved. they thought it would be the easiest operation possible. these obviously were dumb people if they believed this kind of garbage from somebody that clearly come into them, was a fraud. they planned, did atf, to make this a bloodless, hugely successful raid. their budget hearings were coming up in march and they wanted to film at the whole thing to senators and congressmen that they were not bloodthirsty people trying to wipe out innocent gunowners. the branch davidians learned they were coming. they were waiting. there was a horrible three hour firefight. six of the branch d

thee1 tactical agents and officers, s.w.a.t, and we call ours, srt and atf, but they train on that.nts, and so they can deal withq that. the patrol officers not as much, but they can deal with it as "táhey shoot th range, and sometimes in the indoor ranges, they do use ear protection. nevertheless, i think we saw as clint was just!u■ describing, t metropolitan national police acquit themselves well here, and did what they can do. they responded quickly. they gathered their numbers, yo3 know, they followed protocols we all learned in post columbine. theyqjf went in and killed the shooter, engaged and killede1 h. whethere1 she fired on the officers, we don't know. she might have fired on the officers as well, and they could have been, you know,e1 missed o struck one of their vests or helmet. we don't have that data, but, you know, she may have been suicidal, to do an event likeq this, abouthcalf of the killers are, she maye1 very well havejf that suicidal ideation when she went for the killing, and probably a local person will be searching her house and trying to get more answers. alr

and over in georgia, republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene spent today interrogatin1 an atferrupted byfá th parents of a 17-year-old victim, the parkland, xdflorida, school shooting, the republican chair had them thrown out. >> you took my son away from me, and i'm not going anywhere. i'm going to listene1e1 toçó yo >> no,e1 please remove. >> why don't you remove her? >> and remove them too. >> [ bleep ].fá we all know.ñr >> back up.t( back up. >> i'm joined now by one of those parents, manuel oliver is a gun safety advocate whose son, joaquin, was tragically murdered in the parkland schoolxdfá shoo. tonight. you were arrestedjf fore1 proteg at that hearing,xd and today, &háhp &hc% school shooting, more kids dead. how does it feel seeing more families go through what you went through? ,y i don't know don't know if we'velpi] got manó we're just going to check and see if we have manuel. we're having a technical issuel% there. we will take a beat and see if he's there. actually, we will take a break and come back to 9ñ i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies

, we either get this government back on our side or we defund and get rid of, abolish the fbi, cdc, atfdoj -- every last one of them if they do not come to heal -- to heel. [applause] and i don't think it is too much to ask. i really don't. i must update you on an important update. we have been taking whistleblower testimony from brave patriots, people who worked at the fbi and saw things, like targeting americans who attended school board meetings. like labeling people, domestic extremists, because they expressed support for building the wall or the second amendment online. we had fbi agent's telling us that they were cooking the books. where there would be normally one case you would open up on domestic extremism, you have the washington field office putting pressure on agents to open up separate cases on each individual so that they would be the veneer, the illusion, the appearance that all of our fellow americans, that our neighbors were somehow extreme and trying to overthrow our government, when, in fact, that is not the case. so, we took the deposition of a brave patriots named g

the fbi the atf and national police and eric garner and all have access to that manifesto. somehow, the attorney general informs us that the motive has not been identified. he is lying. they are lying. we cannot see the manifesto because the transgender lobby which is more power than you do have stress or politicians to keep it hidden. the leak and certain what it says. monday's victims were murdered because they were christians. it is that simple, they hate christians above all not because their physical touch threat, but the third-graders were not a physical threat, but because christians refused to join every other liar in our society and proclaim the transgender us -- with the power to change nature itself. christians are not allowed to say that, they have their own god. and for that refusal, that a willingness to bow down and worship a false idol, inc. this case -- they were murdered. we have never seen this battle, so starkly set as it is now. in the open source in our eyes the main divided america, it is not between race or political parties, is not in the between re

we understand the local branch of the atf is involved, david. >> right, and also the fbi director and attorney general merrick garland have been briefed. the department of justice, which includes the fbi, assisting those local officials on the ground and while there is the actual criminal investigation being run, you have to remember the department of justice can always down the line look at a potential civil rights investigation, see if any potential hate crimes are involved. obviously we have the shooter dead, according to police, so that may make things a little tricky. but the department of justice often looks at a federal angle, some sort of federal nexus that can be part of this tragedy. it may be something 3, 4 months down the road, but as far as federal officials are concerned, local branch of the atf, the fbi has a huge presence in nashville and the attorney general and fbi director also pledging full resources to the local community there to help. john. >> john: all right, david. keep following it for us from the justice department, let us know if you get any news. sandra. >

we saw it in the atf hearings when the a atf was questioned about the lack of prosecution of hunter bidentting answers about the doj's targeting of parents at school board meetings. the double standard has been around for a while. bragg is admitting it exists. maria: alan d dershowitz said this is the weakest cases ever seen. tiana, jump in here. >> i'm very concerned about the manipulation about the statute of limitations. we're talking about an incident that a allege heedly happened i6 and a payout that happened eight years ago. bragg is saying because trump wasn't a new york resident during that time they could extend the statute of limitations. that should be a concern for everyone, a civil libertarian concern, right. maria: start a fire, smoke, just make everybody think that trump did something, that he's on the hot seat to stop him from running, even if there's no legal precedent, there's total he holes in the case. >> look over here, not over here. we're talking with gerard falidi early in the many program. the points you make, you look at the case, how flimsy it is. you're saying

they're going to the atf under control. who dhec did they think they are right now? i don't make laws congress doses a separation of powers and i can't wait to drag them into oversight. and remind them of that. but as you leave here about you to blame everything you have learned and ensure that. i want to shine a light across this nation. america is the greatest country because of the men and women who have sacrificed and given their all for her. [applause] i am tired of these politicians who think they give you your rights to think they are better than everyone else. destroy this great country. with a record high inflation 20 million americans unable to pay theel utility bills but sacrificing our energy independence that president trump gain for us. opening up our southern borders. borders that we must now secure. that must be a part of every funding debate that we have. we are going to fund a borderless country. we are not going to fund tierney any longer. [applause] but if you shine your light, shining bright in your family. shining bright in your community, your

but clearly they know who he is as the atf and fbi continues to investigate. sandra. >> sandra: a quick follow-up on that. what can you add to why they wouldn't want to release the name of this individual. they are so certain who he is, this happened right there in the front of the school. so that anybody could let them know, you know, his regular whereabouts or help in assisting police find him. >> yeah, it's a great question and one that i asked. we all with like to know the name of the person, especially if they know the name of the person and they don't seem concerned about the fact that they will be able to find this person. i'm being told it's being run by the local police department there, it's up to the local police department to do that. that may change as things go on as things go on, rather, as the manhunts continue and things get more tense, maybe a name will be released. as of now, it's coming from the local authorities on the ground but it's a very fair question, especially because authorities say hey, we know who this is, well then let everyone

the atf cannot be trusted to protect our rights to keep and bear arms. there is no timeline in which the atf, under any administration would become an ally. it needs to go. we need to abolish the atf for they abolish our second amendment rights. alcohol, tobacco and firearms should be the name of a chain of convenience stores in florida, not an agency. host: more of that available at the website if you want to see it. in oklahoma on our support line, we will hear from sharon. caller: good morning. as far as this on biden and the background checks, yes, we need them. we needed to do everything possible to check that person out before we give them a deadly weapon. we have our kids on the street. i don't understand the republicans wanting all these mass weapons out there. it isn't going to hurt you to get a background check. it isn't going to hurt you at all. getting guns off the street, we need to. these criminals that are getting the gun, all these mass killings were by children, white boys. have you all ought about that? they are not criminals, they are

>> the fbi and atf are bothscen, on the scene working with thel i local police. as of now,ce motive hasn't been identified. and the police chief said that a a colast as the last press conference that they don't yet have reached a conclusion with respect to motive. we are certainly working full time with them.y working for full time with them to try to determine what the to try and determine what and t the motive is . and , of course, motive is whato determinesr whether it's a hate crime or not. >> so here's what we just learned from merrick garland, fh the fbi, the atf and thevestigat nashville police are all investigating these shootings. yeng, ant more than twenty fours after they took place, nonhoseef those professional as to investigators can even guess as to why the shootings happened. motive hasn't been identified >>>> garland told us . how thatd >> really? you wonder how that could possibly be . fire, just before she opened fire ,vil the nashville shooter wrote these words to her best friend over instagram, quote, s one day, this will make enoug more sense

so i added them all up which is something the atf hasn't really done.nd when you get this big figure you can see why. 465 million guns produced for the u.s. in the last 125 years. some have fallen out of circulation, about 100 million one researcher estimated. but what the really stunning thing that happened was when i charted gun deaths every year alongside annual gun production, i found that they rose and fell in tandem. so, you know, peaks and valleys were nearly identical. and some researchers were stunned. first of all, why had nobody done this before. but second of all you can see that there is some kind of a relationship or correlation. that doesn't mean causes saying. we can't say for sure what causes what. do the guns flowing in to the marketplace cause the deaths. but we can see that at the very least it calls in to question the argument that more guns will reduce gun violence. because with this many guns and in 2021 we had nearly record high gun deaths, at what point do the guns start reducing the gun violence. >> you also found that there we

>> jim, you are an expert as a former head of the bureau of atf. let's talk about the way they handled this whole horrible incident and what they are learning, what they are learning from the shooter's writing. >> textbook, the way they handled it. they moved in swiftly. when they arrived, the killer is shooting from the second floor of the school at the patrol cars, shooting up the patrol cars as they arrive. they know they are facing a heavy rifle. they can hear it. they know what it is. they have their own rifles. they advance against the rifle fire outside. that's a very large plaza there, very open plaza. my daughter was married in that church. i'm familiar. i spent a whole afternoon on that plaza at her wedding. they have to advance against that open ground. they enter the school. the classrooms are empty. you don't see any students when the officers arrive. the kids have either egressed out the back, they are hiding somewhere. the fire alarm is going off, lights are flashing. the officers move rapidly. they stay in their teams. this is the w

the atf are not your enemy.here may be politicians that are your enemy but nobody risking their life for america is your enemy. host: jim in pennsylvania, good morning. how many weapons do you own and what you own them for? caller: i probably have around 10 but i use them for hunting. i don't hunt anymore. as far as the guns, i thought we should do what marjorie taylor greene said. arm all the kids in school so they can protect themselves. everybody in the country should have a gun on them all the time. i know that sounds stupid but that is what the republican nuts want. host: richard in oceanside, california. good morning. caller: good morning. what a topic. i have about 10. most of them are trapped shooting shotguns, competing in competitions. i have one bolt action rifle and two revolvers. i have no semiautomatic weapons. i do not need them. now we have these things called ghost guns. it is crazy what is going on. they need to seriously control the firearms in this country and take them away from a lot of peo

>> we either get this government back on our side or redefined and get rid of, abolish the fbi cdc, atfe rj, every last one of them. >> we'll bring you a live report from the conference coming up shortly, meantime, we have several reporters in place coming from the white house to capitol hill, we will begin with and messi's allie raffa. ali, the president will likely seek reelection. we know that there is a second round of presidential campaigning. >> yeah, alex, the president is essentially keeping his friends close and potential enemies even closer. according to the new reporting from the washington post, the post saying that his team is building what they are calling this national advisory board of democratic governors, senators, and other surrogates that will formally be launched this month. i want to take a look at the democrats on this board, it includes a long time allies like democratic senator from delaware chris coons, some former 2020 rivals like senator elizabeth warren. some of these democrats have had, or are very likely to have their own a presidential aspirations. even t

lawmakers capitol hill are debating the second amendment all in an effort to fight a new ban from the atf. >> why democrats are saying that this oversight is necessary. republicans do not. plus the ceo of tiktok finally in the hot seat, how handle the questions of user safety and information tracking while on capitol hill today. but first, bay area, animal shelters are overflowing with animals. they all need loving details on how you can become a for a parent or foster. parents were going to be chatting with contra costa animal services right after the break be >> happy national puppy day. so that means today is the perfect day to adopt a furry friend. and joining us now to discuss how many new for parents. >> and fosters are needed here in the bay area's the director of the contra costa animal services, beth ford, beth, thank you for joining us here on kron. 4 news at 3. thank you so much. we appreciate opportunity here. i love talking about puppies. so let's just talk about the status of shelters right now. how overcrowded are you? to shelter, we're at about 153% of our capacity right n

and stop strangling the atf, the national -- atf regulates gun dealers across the country and congress has limited their ability to do their job. so there's a lot they can do. >> we have seen when the previous assault weapons ban was lifted the spike in mass shootings that have followed sense. we have seen a lawmaker being clear that washington can't fix the problem. you went through how washington can do a solution. set that aside for a moment, what else can be done? we've seen the state of michigan move towards tightening gun regulations. what can people watching at home, so angry about another mass shooting, what can they do? >> we at brady understand and feel the anger too. it is very upsetting to be a parent in this country today and drop your kid at school and taking pictures of your kids to make sure that you know what they were wearing in case they're killed at school. this is not the land of the free and home of the brave if that's the way we have to live. so there are things we can do at a state level. tennessee does not have an extreme risk protection law. those are laws tha

retired special agent in charge and former hostage negotiator for theçó atf, jim kavanaghe1 w lives in area, and former u.s. attorney and msnbc legal analyst barbara mcquade, i should say the president has spoken on this.lp he says it's sick and called for congress to ban assault rifles. gabe, i wantjt■ begin with you. no word on the details or the ages of the victims but we are learning a little bit more about this shooter. bring us up to s6%9 >> good afternoon, andq yes, weo are learning more about the shooter and other details. nashville police chief just saying that this incident has moved him to tears seeing those young victimsç'u()q' out of tha elementarye2r school. and another detail that stuck out to e1me, authorities say so of the children, this isçó elementary school, pre-k to 6th grade, some of the children evacuated the school on their çó own. you can only imagine the horror that must have beene1 going through their minds. this unfolded at 10:18 local time with shots being fired. this wasq at the covenant schoo in nashville, açó team officers went in and engaged the shooter

i'd like to come to you for a moment, i support the lawsuit challenging atf crystal will. this imposed potential criminal liability on millions of americans work exercising the second amendment right. atf claims the rule is necessary because armed braces transform into a short barrel rifle. when i'm back at home in tennesseese and talking to the veterans and disabled combat veteran, they talk to me about they rely on the braces to be able to operate a firearm so can you explain how our disabled combat veterans used this to braces and devastate impact atf will would have on their ability to exercise their second amendment right. >> generally say you can hold with one hand they cannot use the secondhand for the additional stabilizer and they have trouble using it with one hand the way the pistol brace works it extends down the arm and allow the person with the race to race it with the an arm strap it into their forearm to give additional stability. >> sosa safety mechanism. >> correct. >> stabilizes a handgun. >> correct and to the extent someone is not disabled, they would

this comes as a new atf report estimates 70% of the guns recovered in mexico from 2014 to 2018 have been made in the u.s. in mexico. it is nearly impossible to legally buy a gun. the entire country issues fewer than 50 permits per year. estimated 200,000 guns are trafficked into mexico from the u.s. every year. bonta says in most industries, companies are well aware they can be held accountable when they violate the law and the guns should be no different. >> for second straight day, half a million students in los angeles are out of school again. classes are canceled as workers at the nation's second largest school district continue their strike. we demand respect. >> and forest respect starts with a livable. with making a livable wage, our schools are understaffed. >> we need more people. >> the three-day strike comes after more than a year of negotiations with the la unified school district. more than 30,000 custodians cafeteria workers, teacher assistants and bus drivers. what more pay health care benefits and other things of that nature. another 30,000 students, our standing in solid

what is the argument tha alliance defending freedom i making >> atf essentially are getting that the fda did not take th requisite procedures and it' proving this drug 20 years ago now, of course the defendant here, the fda have said, well, of course you have a lot o time to make that argument you had some time. and they note that there was a re-approval in 2016 where they actually loosened restrictions on the availability of mifepristone that would've been a opportunity for them to make these arguments as well, and they didn't, so that is on aspect of the argument tha they are making and they are also arguing that there is a injury to the doctors who ar bringing this claim. atf is representing thes physicians, these pro-life physicians who argue that thei patients are harmed through th use of medication abortions. they've run into a trick problem because many conservative justices on the supreme court for years have said that physicians canno raise the claims of thei patients and abortion cases. although the court has allowed that to go forward, but it i always over the objections o

it's four, hours there in court, and it sounds like he is ope to the arguments made by the atf. a fait accompli here >> there is a reason they chos him, right there is a reason they chose him and there is a reason that he is saying that this was a accelerated process. he said that at some point today even though it took th fda for years to approve the medication right? and so i am very nervous, think everyone sort of expects it to come down on not the pro-choice side. and i think that no matter wha the fda does or the bide administration does, what th impact looks like on the groun is going to be incredibl incredibly dangerous for women because of the chaos that is gonna so >> so walk me through it, if he does hand down a preliminary injunction, th biden administration, the do is going to appeal this, right and does this go to the suprem court do you think >> there are a lot of things that can be done the fda could say, that you are right, w didn't do the right protocols. we have got to review th somewhere even though it was reviewed for 20 years in europ before it was approved

funding to start this investigation center but where will check to verify but believe there is mou with atf. >> finally the drug enforcement administration. >> i don't know if there is current. i have to check but don't know if there is current but we have had partnerships with dea on some of the narcotic investigations. >> obviously theuble at least for us to see the mou i think again speaking for myself but think would interest-not making much of a wager it interest the rest of the commission as well. thank you chief. >> thank you very much presidents elias. i have one question with the partnership with the fbi and san francisco police over these 25 years 27 years. is there substantial cases that result from this joint operation you guys have? >> there are many. i can't recall all but there are many cases that have resulted. not just with fbi, with other agencies as well. >> thank you very much chief. >> those thatd like to comment on line item 6, please approach the podium. all is no public comment. line item 7 discussion of the draft memorandum of understanding between san francisco pol

atf lockdown was completely unscientific and abusive. people did not die from covid at that time. a lot of people died because they could not get access to hospitals, medical care, and people were starving because the food delivery was not running smoothly. so they could not get food. after they were confined in their apartments. there was so much anger and then where do you express that kind of anger or protest? you can't. there is no media relief you cannot call a journalist and say this happened to me can you write about it your paper? so you can go to the internet but the internet is very censored. if you criticize the government your post can be removed. if you do it into much time the government will try to detain you and if you repeatedly do it you can be detained. is a lot of anger and people know it is right but they are not able to express themselves or hold the government accountable. then, the government suddenly nixed the zero covid policy. a lot of people died because they were not prepared because the hospitals were not prepared to handle that kind of influx of pati

and we try to do that with an atf that is woefully understaffed.ng like 3,000 special agents are going to cover the nation when we have more guns than people and they're going to enforce existing law. but we're beyond enforcing existing law. we need change and we need it now. and we need people to vote for that change. and as mary said, we need accountability for manufacturers. it needs to hurt them. we need to bring pain to the people who produce the weapons of mass destruction. and now, yes, is it an interesting statistic amongst this awful tragic human toll to say boy, we have a female shooter? yes, it's noteworthy for those of us who study and research this, that in the last 40 years we've had somewhere like three, four, or five female shooters, depending how you define a mass shooting. by the definition of four or more dead people we've had only three female shooters in the last 40 years or so. so what does that mean? it means that this now has penetrated gender. this is bigger than gender. we have to stop saying this is entirely a male proble

>> the fbi and atf are on the scene working with the local police. as of now motive hasn't been identified. >> laura: this is about politics. democrats have invested a lot in the storyline that white american christians are the most dangerous people on the face of the planet. remember, that group, they are the real enemies. >> you have young people who call themselves america first. that's a way to say we are white nationalists. >> christian nationalists believe the united states was established as a white christian nation. any threat must be stamped out even with violence. >> you are talking about people who believe in a religious theocracy. >> laura: the same type of people who are the good people are those who embrace gender fluiditty and evolving identity. this shooting may turn that dynamic on the head. the democrats advance gun control -- >> why do we allows weapons in our streets and in our schools? i call on congress to pass this ban. >> laura: he knows it has a zero chance of getting passed but doesn't claire. -- care. with a 32% approval ra

. >> fbi and atf are both on the scenes working with the local police, as of now a motive have not been identified. >> if i seem to b seeding with anger after watching that, good. we don't have a motive when the police said repeatedly that this shooter happens to be trans specifically targeted a christian school. that apparently she resented. how does merrick garland testify before congress saying that? he's not ad dump person, he's a smart person. joining me now is john hawley. your reaction to garland and all the leaderships there like wray as well. >> well, we need to call this what it is, when you target somebody based on their religious beliefs and religious affiliation, is a hate crime. this school was targeted and it was not random. they were targeted. that's a federal hate crime. there should be a federal hate crime investigation. the government should make all of its resources available to nashville police. we need to prevent this from happening again and to do that, laura, we need to know how it happened now. the rhetoric that led to this and the influences on the shooter. we
