derrick ward is live with the update. good morning derrick. >> reporter: good morning. we're a waiting word from authorities now in the county about exactly what happened and perhaps we'll even learn the name of the shooter. they have learned his name, but it hasn't been released publicly. we know the names of the victims. first of all, let's take a look at the scene. it's a crime scene. there's a command center vehicle, rather large vehicle. if you look in the parking lot, you see a number of cars. those cars belong to people who were evacuated yesterday. perhaps some were wounded and perhaps even the shooter's car. we know they know his identity. they would have located the vehicle and removed it by now. that's a concern by a lot of folks we hope to solve as we learn more about the incident. i want you to look at the scene from yesterday about 11:15. a gunman armed with a shut gone went into the mall and started shooting. when it was over, brianna benlolo and tyler johnson of ellicott city were dead. five others were wounded. they're all out of the hospital, including

i think derrick is exactly right. one of the reasons we haven't had the kind of growth this year we would expect is because of those dim-witted tax increases. now the point i'm trying to make though is this, about this inequality issue. one of the things i found interesting reading the report if you look at poverty, you know the people at the very bottom, poverty is in most severe in countries who do not have economic freedom, right? i would make the case, kim and derrick, if we actually adopt all the policies being debated right now, minimum wage, unemployment insurance, higher tax rates and so on it will make the poor worse off, not better off. in fact poverty rates are substantially higher as countries become less free. so we are going to make our poor worse off by moving against economic freedom. and i would also make the case that inequality in this country will actually rise if we move away from economic freedom. look, i'm a believer economic freedom is the great equalizer, right? because it provides everyone wi

take derrick kenny knows what you're saying, you say it's time for calming. >> greats to see you.le think about the 401k, what they need is some straight talk, not political straight talk but financial straight take. keep in mind with the associated costs of healthcare, those of living, the hard earned dollar is not going as far. for many people this is a comic indicated moment. people feel like they missed out on this unprecedented growth in the stock market and now want to jump in. the problem if they make too rash of a decision they may get too grace receive and lose money. the reality is these are retail investors who don't manage money as their full-time job. can they invest? ess. but they need to be very careful and cautious right now, more than ever, because of all the volatility and a possible correction around the corner. >> i tell folks when it comes to their 401k money, shouldn't be running in and out of that like a sprinter. that's the kind of money you presumably committed for the long term, either retirement or long-term needs well into the future, and to sort of pla

derrick kur, my comment is not specific to the sunshine ordinance modifications, but does refer to section 6a of your enforcement guidelines. my recollection is that the ken civil grand jury when they did their report, they pointed out having two commissioners calling for an issue to be calendared is too high a threshold. so at the discussion of the ethics commission, my recollection is that the commission agreed that one commissioner could question the executive director's dismissal and have the item calendared. but here in your enforcement guidelines it sill says thereafter any two or more members of commission can cause an item to be calendared. so i'm just raising the issue of whether it's two commissioners or whether it can be just one commissioner? thank you. >> commissioners, director of san francisco open government. you may wonder sometimes why i come here and seem so angry. well, because i have 14 or orders of determination from the sunshine ordinance task force finding various commissioners, boards, city employees in violation of the ordinance and basically when you got when you

derrick kerr. along with mr. rivero, i was one of the whistle blowers who exposed misappropriations in the gift fund that is at the root of this sunshine concern that mr. menat shaw has raised. what really struck us was the inordinate delays in getting our concern attended to, both by the ethics commission and the whistle-blower program. we also had complaints about department of public health contracts, conflicts of interests and those complaints took over two years to get resolved, at which time we had been driven out of the hospital. so having talked to almost a dozen other city whistle blowers, all of them experienced the same retaliation. there is no whistle blowers that could get away in one piece. so we have lingering concerns that the ethics commission is complicit in burying whistle-blower complaints and in enabling retaliation and destruction of whistle-blowers. i think it would help everyone, particularly the whistle-blowers, if you would release something and you can honor confidentiality, but you don

. >> that's all right, derrick. he cried a little bit. that's okay. >> that is amazing.'s reaction is exactly what he expected and there was barely a dry eye in the room for the fans who watched it unfold. >> that was a great story. we were talking about mounting frustration for the president, mainly that nothing gets done in congress. a big reason for that is what some have dubbed the senate veto, or as you know it, the filibuster. if just 41 senators are willing to filibuster a billering it's dead. nat option is nothing new, but its use, of course, has skyrocketing, republicans have filibustered more under obama, but both parties treat his obstruction increasingly as the new normal. tomorrow, lawyers for common cause are heading to federal court and trying to get the filibuster thrown out all together. they argue it's simply unconstitutional, as used today. joining us, steven spalding. welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> absolutely. this lawsuit, you argue, is basically important. people should care because you're saying we have actually seen a total shift in the cons

. >> derrick greenberg, what you got? >> i was going to let you do that -- derrick. >> yes, hi. is perfect football weather for the fans that love the freezing cold. unbelievable. temperatures expected to reach minus 20 with a wind chill around 40 below in green bay, and hundreds of the fans showed up yesterday to shovel out the stands ahead of the game. the good news is the fans braving the bitter cold will get a little something extra to help them stay warm. the team is planning to provide free coffee and hot chocolate during the game. and a local store will give out 70,000 hand warmers to the fans. the game could be even colder than the infamous ice bowl back in 1967. the wind chill was estimated at 48 degrees below zero on that one. the kickoff scheduled tomorrow at 4:40 p.m. eastern, and if you live in wisconsin but don't have a ticket to the game, consider yourself lucky, but also have no fear, you'll be able to watch the game, because all tickets are sold out, so there won't be a blackout. there's two games today -- the chiefs play the colts in indianapolis. that game's i

derrick kerr again. another issue that comes up with these complaints and investigations is whether the ethics commission or the regulatory agency does anything? does any investigation? one way to find out is to request documents. the documents are not confidential. it's the information that is confidential. for example, if you request information about an fbi investigation, they might send you documents that are completely black with nothing except black on it. but you know that there is a document; that something was done. so if we ask for something, a document or some information, you could still give the public a document and hold onto the information. that way we know that something was done on paper, but that we can't have the information. thank you. >> commissioners, ray hart, director of san francisco open government. i think it's kind of circular reasoning or some sort -- i don't know how to describe it -- to say that because it took us two years to get to this point, it obviously wasn't willful
