From someone like house speaker paul ryan. i think his first words to the event, reaction to the event was something along the lines of, lets take a step back and make sure we count our blessings for the time being. that is not the tone weve seen from parents. john, i know you were down there yesterday talking to some of these students who had just experienced this. theyre angry, and theyre directing congress to take action, and taking action is not what republicans want to talk about at this mo...

>> all right. again, the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein will be speaking very shortly. we will bring that to you live when it happens. it could be about some indictments, some elections about russian hacking. or maybe its about this news we just learned now, the fbi admitting, again, that it received a tip on january 5th, a very detailed tip about the killer, his violent inclinations and fears that he might be engaged in some kind of plans for a school shooting. josh, what does the fbi n...

Obviously were all feeling as we look at this. if you think about the youtube posting we talked about yesterday and obviously at that point we mentioned there wasnt specificity, there wasnt credibility. in the field we call the e-guardian. its a system which allows you to track different threats, to do some type of analysis and determine is there a there there. if that information went into holdings and then you had this person doing what we want the public to do, picking up the phone and callin...

January 5 to the fbi public access line which is where youre supposed to call when you see something. this is where you say something. someone said something and said everything, and protocols were not followed here. how could that happen, josh? >> thats a good question and that is something that will no doubt be part of an exhaustive investigation. sitting here as a former fbi agent, you get the sinking feeling, and you multiply that by times not only the viewers here that are watching but also...

Kids if they think theyre dangerous. >> it does strike me, mj, that the message the president is trying to send here is were doing something. again, were not quite sure what it is just yet, but they want to try to tell the people in florida that there is action happening. >> right, and what we dont know, matt, you were saying exactly what the president would say. you would assume the white house team will work with the president because of the sensitivities around the fact that there are going t...

Watching this may have information on another type of crime doesnt look at this and say, oh, theres no use in reporting this information. we cant let that happen. we have to keep letting the public know and reminding them if you have information, you have to report it to law enforcement. >> the fbi needs to prove that it makes a difference, or prove that it is using that information. josh, i do not know if in your time with the fbi you had experience with the tip line. can you tell me anything a...

Them. >> what about the criticism that is certain to come here along those lines? >> yeah, its unfortunately something weve seen before. if you think about the aftermath of the charleston shooting, that deadly aftermath where the bureau discovered and are looking at another exhaustive review. again, there was an ins dernlt where human error could possibly have prevented -- had the protocols been followed, the shooter may not have gotten the recipe i received. you just cant escape certain things ...

Venue, another vector into the fbi to provide information. a 1-800 number where someone can call, they can remain anonymous, provide information, hey, i saw this. and its like information you can find on the internet, a way into the bureau. its for people who may know something is that could prevent an action to provide to fbi the information they have. >> shimon, did anything happen, or was this just someone receiving the call taking notes and the notes just sat there? is the fbi explaining any...
