Administrations. >> usually in cases, there are some media outlets that will look at an incident like this and say "we may never know the motive" even when the motive is blatantly obvious in the first few hours. i havent heard that many outlets saying "we may never know the motive" here. that might be the first time this is true. >> brian: michael balboni, buck sexton. thank you soil much. we will be doing this again. meanwhile up next, a congressman who has been in las vegas all day. the inside...
