and beaumont in a letter said, i am about to embark on the work that's going to immortalize me. who's read "marie," right? oh, really? fantastic, that's amazing. and then tocqueville wrote to i think his brother, and he wrote, i don't know, i'm finishing up here, i might be able to someday wry something respectable about america. "democracy" in america is a great classic. so the comparison is really almost comical. so vaber wrote several things about america. not a lot of people realize his most famous work, "the ethic and spirit of capitalism," is about america. it was published in two essays. the first written right before he came to america, the second after he returned. so it really is, i mean, his quintessential embodiment of the spirit of capitalism, it's benjamin franklin. it really is about america. he wrote an essay called "provident sects" in the spirit of capitalism which is all based on his time in america, and it's really an interesting read. originally it was meant to be part of, the third part. for whatever reason, it was left out. there's a great book by historia

it is a strange thing, beaumont observed, that the american nation is made up of all the people's on the earth and no nation presents as a whole such uniform characteristics. reflecting on these conformist tendencies and meditating on the dis pod i can potential of the sovereign majority tocquville worried about the united states becoming a nation as he put it of nothing more than a herd of timid and industrious animals. he observed even in ma gnashing cal systems there was more freedom of expression and thought than in the united states. if freedom -- if ever freedom is lost in america, wrote tocquville, one will have to wlam the omnipotence of the majori majority. interestingly this would not be the first time that one of my visitors used timage of the her to describe americans. chestertoned it to describe the dominant mood. another famous foreign visitor, a russian exile who came to america in the mid 70s warned of the dangerous tendency in america to form a herd. for tocquville the power of the majority, however, was only the first part of the puzzle. remember that he also scribb

listening and from the doctors have treated his gunshot victims, some of them also served at william beaumontmy medical center have been trained in combat trauma care. the wound that they are seeing are like the ones that they saw in afghanistan and iraq. these weapons, like the ak-47, were designed to kill people as effectively, as efficiently, , d as great a number as possible. and that's exactly what they are doing. when you listen to the doctors described internal injuries of these survivors, it is absolutely horrifying. but to this point we have a congress to craven to act. a democracy not up to the task that favors those who can pay for access and influence and outcomes, the complicity and the silence of those who are in positions of public trust. and that's exactly what has happened here in this country. we have a racism in america that is as old as america itself. an intolerant of those who do not look like or pray like or love like or speak like the majority in this country. that's part of our story and we absolutely need to tell it come to face it, to acknowledge it if we are ever g

the surgeons and the doctors who have treated these gunshot , some of them also serve at william beaumont medical center having trained in combat trauma there. the wounds they are saying are like the wounds that they saw in afghanistan and iraq. these weapons like the ak-47, word designed to kill people effectively and efficiently and a gratis number as possible and that is what they are doing. when you listen to the doctors described the injuries of the survivors, it is horrifying. point, we have a , agress to craven to act democracy not up to the task to --or -- they favor those who the complicity and the silence of those with positions of public trust. that has -- that is what has happened here. american that in is as old as america itself. majority in this country. that is part of our story, and we need to tell it to acknowledge it if we are ever going to change it. we have always tried, until now to change that. until this president, who so --nly speaks in racos racist terms, who so openly favors one kind of people in this country over every other kind of people in this country. all

but if i said the names archibald cox, ken starr and beaumont broke, you know i'm talking about a very select of special prosecutors independent councils, special counsel who were appointed and have been appointed to look into high-level high visible little cases involving the executive branch. there are some differences in distinct joints between each of those titles and we will get into that a little bit later with ken. but first i wanted to take and start off by taking us back to 1994.ac you'd been in private practice with the chicago firm kirkland and ellis and joining very nice time in the washington dc area area when teaching law and nyu. you get a call. from judge sentelle. he was calling to ask if you would be willing about replacing bob was heading up the whitewater investigation. ken, why did you want to leave this great job and time in the dc area and b go back into the political arena and if you have any idea what you are about to get into. >> fools rush in and i had no idea.ea not whatsoever. but when i arrived in little rock, on the day of my appointment, and i thought we

many of them work at william beaumont army medical center.he wounds they are seeing are like those wounds they saw in afghanistan, in iraq on the battlefield. exit wounds the size of your fist destroying the internal organs, helping to make it almost impossible to save someone's life. this is what we're doing in our country right now. we do not lack the resources or the intelligence or the evidence. it's just the political will. so it's incumbent upon all of us to force mitch mcconnell and donald trump and the republican majority in the senate to do the right thing, to get behind those moms and those students and the people who are truly leading on this issue right now. >> one of the things -- maybe you can help me with this. this president has always attacked those of us that question some police when there are things we consider police going over the line. but bands automatic weapons, bands semiautomatic weapons, it's the most pro-police thing you can do because they're the first responders. they ran in in dayton in minutes and facing fire,

possible, listening to those surgeons, those trauma surgeons in el paso who also work at william beaumont medical center and they told me the wounds they're treating in el paso are much like the wounds they treated in afghanistan, in iraq and they have no place in our country. and we must stop selling them in our communities and keep them on the battlefield, i think it's important now and i cannot escape the conclusion and logic and the fact that the only way we're going to make us safer, the only way we're going to live without terror of these school shootings or these public marketplace shootings or these concerts or synagogues or churches where shootings are taking place are to take these guns off the street. and to pay people who own those ak-47s and those ar-15s which you do not need to hunt, which you do not need to protect yourself and your family in your home, which are only needed to kill an enemy soldier on the battlefield. i know that is politically difficult conclusion to come to and it's more people have not, it's why i have not frankly until this point. but if i really care

had to follow up with all of that today >> we have learned a search warrant was served on luther's beaumont home, looking for evidence, indication of what led the man, married with kids, out of prison for some 15 years now, and off parole, to pick up a rifle and start shooting . >> the shooter is deceased and the person who was trying to stop him, the officer, was killed in the line of duty so we don't know. >> hopefully we can find something in the suspects background door whatever that could lead us to something but right now, we just don't know. >> luther's father was speaking to reporters in riverside and said he is in shock about this and doesn't understand it, either. some positive news, as for the other two chp officers that were wounded, one hit in the leg by shrapnel last night, he was already treated and released. the other was in critical condition last night. however, he is awake, talking this morning, expected to make a recovery but has serious leg wounds and they are not quite sure of his future. reporting live in riverside, i'm phil sherman . >> phil, thank you. >> now to an

the course of the past 48 hours, my partners, jodi smith, and their adopted partner from william beaumontter, have been providing surgical support and intervention to patients involved in the shootings. we have been providing continuous care in the intensive care unit to these most critically injured patients. at times there been more than one of us present in the icu. unfortunately, these wounds have been devastating and major, and we are deeply saddened to be here today, to have to tell you that two patients have passed. in addition to the care that we have been organizing and leading, there has been an incredibly robust support staff by our side. the nursing staff has been incredible. the dell soul icu nurses have been amazing. at most times, there been two or three nurses at the bedside of each one of these patients. that, of course, is in addition to our respiratory therapists, the other support staff, and the unending support from the leadership of this hospital led by david. we are truly heartbroken to have to be here to report this. the wounds of the patients have received have be
