i want to bring our legal analyst laura coates back in with us. laura this update from chief john drake. really, quite remarkable. he said that audrey hale had some seven firearms. that had been bought at five different stores legally now we did know yesterday. i'm going to go back to this press conference. laura, stay with me. alright never mind that appears to be over. but laura there there is no law in tennessee that would have, according to the police chief, had these guns taken away from audrey hale, despite the fact that hale was under a doctor's care, so this will i imagine prompt another conversation about red flag laws. it will and as it should, as we continue to think about the constraints are and what the law enforcement community needs to be armed with relatively speaking in order to deter crimes like this. he also noted that the parents believe that perhaps she was impression of only one weapon and that it had been returned or given away or sold in some capacity piercing here because we're used to. unfortunately the tragedy that happen

laura coates good evening everyone i'm laura coates and this is cnn tonight. just when you think you understand what's going on with this economy, there's something like this. the sudden collapse of a silicon valley bank and signature bank. president biden trying to convince americans that the system really is safe but the big question is, how much of this is about how much people even know about something, understand or maybe they feel about what is happening. how does psychology play into a bank run and how can we all be sure that our money is really safe? plus, do you know who is using facial recognition on you may be right now? no we're not doing it right now everyone. rest assured, but it could be happened more than you even realize. way to tell you who's using it and why. and this probably sounds like a joke what i'm gonna tell you. but really it is deadly serious. nick a government report said that some crash test dummies may not represent and i'm quoting here diverse groups of people. how could that have a real impact on your safety? well, it's not wha

. >> i want to bring in laura coates to the conversation. a couple of basics here.oubt about what this mean sns? does it mean an indictment is almost certain for trump? >> the idea of calling up a before the grand jury is odd. there would be no incentive for the defendant to come and speak. we know the adage, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. the grand courtroom is as close as you can get to something being used against you in a court of law. the decision to invite hem to testify would raise questions about whether he would take the fifth amendment. having said that, the idea of running out of witnesses, one would have to exhaust all potential other witnesses in order to be able to figure out and determine whatever he might testify to could be called out as a lie. there are questions about what the end game would be here. >> and i know the kind of conversations we're having is trump was offered the chance. that's a nonstarter and won't happen. sit a ridiculous non-starter? >> it's like offering somebody enough rope to range thems
