their lawmakers act. yeah. i mean, frank, to shannon s point and elise s, i mean, we choose to live like this. it doesn t have to be this way. at least one of the guns i want to play this sound to i get this right, but it is believed by the l.a. county sheriff that one of the guns was probably not legally possessed by the shooter. let me play that sound for you. the weapon that we recovered at that second scene i m describing as a magazine-fed semiautomatic assault pistol. not an assault rifle but an assault pistol that had an extended large-capacity magazine attached to it. i believe the weapon that was recovered at the alhambra location is not legal to have here in the state of california. so, frank, the scenario
supreme court do the probe? that s why i m having a hard time accepting that this was just in confidence and stupidity. right? i think they understood that we need to keep this in house and control it and govern it and boy, let s put in charge of the investigation the woman whose salary we pay. who has no law enforcement career, by the way, and whose main job again, i m not denigrating this. but her main be job be in life is to get up in the morning and say oye, oye, when the court goes in session every day. let s understand we ve learned from the new york times that this case, this so-called investigation is now spoiled for any actual real law enforcement agency that were to be asked to come in and do it right. why do i say that? because we ve learned that the employees and only the employees, because that s apparently all that were interviewed. they didn t go outside the building to interview people apparently. they were told under penalty of
destruction. and in fact this gunman probably would have killed twice as many people. so for him to do this was tremendous. and i m so glad he was a young man. i could not imagine some of those older patrons of the ballroom dance doing the same thing. so he was right there at the right time for sure. it s extraordinary. i want to tell our viewers, and i don t know fudge see this, congresswoman, but nbc news has some exclusive video, surveillance tape of the moment of this altercation between the alleged shooter and brandon. and it s playing out in a way that certainly underscores your point, that this was a very physical, quite literally life or death altercation between someone who had already carried out a whole lot of destruction and death being stopped by a citizen. and he said in an interview that my colleague lester holt s going to air on nightly news in just a little bit that he froze for a
officer. hey and he asked are you supervising any investigation involving these corporations that you re interviewing with. right? all of that gets disclosed. at all times. and thick financial disclosures are filled out every year, which we all curse out, which by the way are a result of robert hansen spying for the russians while he was in the fbi. so it s clear here that that was circumvented. and if you look at the dates of this activity for charlie, it happened right on the cusp of his retirement. so he was apparently, allegedly about to cash out as he was looking for retirement and no, he sure as heck didn t comply with any regulations. i m going to give brandon the last words on this story on the national security implications of the revelations that we know about so far from the twin indictments. we have to sneak in a quick break before we do that. don t go anywhere. re we do that. don t go anywhere.
absolutely. absolutely. what would you get from leaking it if you have only three votes? you re not going to ever get you re not going to sway thomas. exactly. ridiculous. so maybe it wasn t one of the justices. maybe it was someone else. but the fact that they did not call in anybody independently to do the investigation. the fact that the rules never apply to the nine, the rules never apply to them, it s only the underlings that got the scrutiny, that doesn t build confidence in the supreme court. and if roberts was trying to do that, i give him an f. frank, you know where i m coming. the fact is if you go back in time to their own words justice alito thought it was a, quote, threat of assassination that the conservatives faced. and you have to trust him, right? that he was afraid for his life. he was afraid for his life. why did the mall cop of the
