Act, he talked about american policy. We are still exploring why he chose this particular place to attack. Reporter this as Police Defend their tactics as the killer carried out his rampage inside the popular gay nightclub in orlando. There was never a time when we were just sitting there doing nothing. Reporter 45 minutes after the first shots were fired, more than 100 officers and s. W. A. T. Members were on the scene. They waited to engage the shooter as the calls for help grew louder inside. I was calling for them to enter. Reporter the s. W. A. T. Commander saying they mounted strategic efforts. The misconception is that officers did not go inside until 5 00 or whatever time the last was. Officers were going inside from the beginning of this incident. Reporter over the weekend, several funerals and Memorial Services for the victims of the attack, more than 50,000 gathering in the city of orlando to pay their respects at a candlelight vigil. Mourners in awe as a giant p rainbow appeared to remember the lives taken one week ago. The days ahead, we could see new information regarding the wife of the shooter. Several sources say a grand jury is taking a closer look at all the evidence thats been collected over the last several days. Did she have any knowledge that this attack could be in the works and remain silent. That is a question that remains unanswered eight days after the sound of gunfire. Polo, on that street where all the people lost their lives. Hope for real change to americas gun laws on the line yet again today. The senate set to vote on four new gun measures. Chance for a break seems to be a long shot. After all this, one more shooting, you are saying it is just not going to happen . Thats right. The immediate aftermath, senior senators began discussing whether there was a compromise that could be struck from preventing suspected terrorists from getting guns. Republicans want greater involvement by the fbi and the courts before banning the sale of a firearm. What we ended up is something thats been quite common on capitol hill, stalemate. The senate set to vote on four gun control measures. I am frustrated with the ability to come to terms with figuring out some of the restraints. One week after the worst mass shooting in u. S. History. The amendments all expected to fail. I admit the background check will be tough to get 60 votes on. We all hope we can get support for them to stop terrorists from getting weapons. This requires tougher background checks on gun shows and sales. And many republicans say that democratic plans violate the rights of americans mistakenly placed on terror watch lists. Republicans have voted consistently to ban people on that list from having a gun but to give them an opportunity to prove they shouldnt be on the list. The nra called the democrats gun measures political poise diverting attention away from the failure of the government to fight terror. They are coming. They are going to try to kill us and they need to be prepared. This president by diverting the president to gun control movement, thats not going to solve the problem. The nras choice for president us renewing his call to racially profile muslims. It is not the worst thing to do. I hate the concept of profiling but we have to use common sense. Reporter trump reiterating his belief that fewer would have died had clubgoers been armed. One of the people in that room happened to have it and goes, boom, boom, that would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight, folks. Even the nra takes issue with that, i dont think you should have firearms where people are drinking. Later today, senator Susan Collins of maine, a modern republican plans to unveil a compromise bill with the support of five colleagues. That bill would bar the sale of anyone on a nofly list and alaw for an appeals process for anyone denied the right to buy a gun. The prospects of such a bill on this polarizing bill of gun control seem grim at best. It will be very interesting to see what happens. Joining us now, former Counter Terrorism official, phil mudd along with evan perez. Evan, what is the point of releasing these transcripts . What does Law Enforcement hope to accomplish . Well, first, its the law down in florida. There is something called the sunshine law there that requires the government down there to release transcripts, at least transcripts of these 911 conversations. News media has requested them. This is also part of what the fbi and the Justice Department think will help bring some transparency, as you know, and as polo mentioned in his piece, there has been some criticism about the fbis previous contacts with this killer as well as the Police Response the initial hours there in orlando. So, phil, the thing about this shooting, right, is that it seemed to have multiple motivations. Yes, he made this claim to isis but we dont want to grandize that with him. He was a wife beat are and had anger issues, got rejected from the police academy, might have had some gay, hate crime motivation. Did you expect some information, someday ta as to why from these transcripts . I think we are going to walk away frustrated object overinterpreting this. Hundreds of thousands of investigators gathering everything from what happened at school to what he was a child, to what his relationship was with his wife, whether he had gay dating apps. We are trying to anticipate a few minutes of tapes between this conflict, was he a terrorist, did he have mental issues, was he a suppressed homosexual. We think these are going to offer resolution. I think not. I think it will take us in the other direction opening more questions. Phil, what is the investigative point of releasing these . Are they thinking that somehow this will help people in the public pick up the phone and call and give more information about this guy who is dead . What are they chasing at this point . I dont think there is an investigative point. The type of information you are looking at, looking at his laptop to determine who he was communicating with, trying to reconstruct his cell phone. Huge amounts of data, not only to look at pattern of life, what was he up to, but to make sure he understands who he was talking to. If the public thinks this will resolve their questions about what happened here, i would say step back, frustrating day ahead. Evan, here you have a guy who he called 911. He clearly wanted to talk to the police, talk about his motivations. He called a television station, imagine that. Clearly, he wanted the attention, is the fbi concerned th they give him more p attention. They are not going to let him do his pledge to isis or his pledge. They released a video and calling for more attacks during the holy month of ramadan. The danl is already done. The fbi is trying to limit the amount of value this has to isis. The attorney general was on all the shows yesterday and said they are redacting pieces to keep from revictimizing the victims. People are saying, the biggest mass murder in American History and we dont have a clue about what was happening. They are saying the feds are trying to protect something that will give us real clues. I assume they are excises material that doesnt relate to the investigation but is brutal in how it portrays the fight and telling americans, if we know something, we will try to tell you. There is no secret story here. I have to ask you, whats the latest with the wife . She knew a lot. She may not have known the attack was coming on that night against this target. She knew something was brewing. Are they closer to charging her . I think there is still a lot of work they have to do on that account. There are some legal hurdles just to be able to get to that, jim. I think you are right. She has given contradicting accounts. Thats one reason why there is still so much work to be done, not only interviewing those around her, looking at her computers and the computers of the gunman and try to better understand whether or not this was, as you mentioned, a mix of some kind of jihadi view of the gunman. There is still so much evidence they have to go over. Phil,we have also learned a few things about the wife. One of her teachers from grade school and has come forward and said, she had cognitive processing issues. She couldnt understand cause and effect. For Law Enforcement, does that mean they dont charge her if Something Like that comes to light. I dont think so. I think you have to wait to watch this roll. We are looking at the initial stage of investigation. Nine days in isnt that long. You are looking at initial interviews. Those might come back again. You go through an interview process and talk to people. Then, you learn, she told you something, one of her neighbors, friends, family members told you something. You have to go back and reinterview her. You find out about her mental state. Dont think of this as a snapshot that takes a week or two where you go through one stage and can come through final decision. It is a process that it ter rate that is repeats over time. We might not learn things for months glchlt is th months. They are looking for patterns for this case so they can be better for spotting that. As somebody who looked at this, what pattern do we determine here . Someone who showed signs of mental distress talked to coworkers. Not much came up. Evan, phil, thank you very much for all of that. So the taliban, meanwhile, claiming responsibility for a deadly suicide bombing in afghanistan. Officials say at least 14 were killed and eight wounded in this Early Morning attack on a minibus in kabul. The building was carrying nepalese secured guards. This is the first attack since the holy month of ramadan. Hollywood mourning the death of 27yearold actor anton yelchin, perhaps best known for his role in the star trek movies. Police say he was pinned by his own car when it rolled back in his driveway. J. J. Abrams reacted saying, anton, were you brilliant, kind, fun any as hell and supremely talented and you werent here nearly long enough. A freak accident. Lets talk about something much lighter and celebratory. The city of cleveland finally endeded heartbreak this morning. They are celebrating their first nba championship. Andy scholes is all smiles. He has more on lebron james big night in the bleacher report. Reporter what a night for the city of cleveland after 52 years of sports misery, the fans here can finally call themselves champions. We watched the game. Throughout the night, they were hoping, praying, this would finally be their year. We finally got a close game after six straight blowouts. Time winding down. Lebron james comes through with one of the most epic blocks you will ever see to keep the game tied.

Lebron james, unanimous finals mvp as he delivered cleveland their first championship in 52 years. Our fans are there no matter whats been going on. The browns, the indians, all the teams support us. For us to be able to end this drought, our fans deserve it. They deserve it. It was for them. As i said, i watched the game with all the fans here in downtown cleveland. The quicken loans arena sold out for the watch party. Thousands of more fans lining the streets of downtown. I dont think i have ever seen a fan base want a championship as much as these fans wanted.

Welcome back, the senate set to vote today on four separate gun control proposals. This in response to the biggest mass shooting in modern u. S. History. Do any of these measures stand a chance of passing. Joining us, political anchor of time warner news, political analyst and host of podcast. David gregory . Guys, you have these four measures here from both sides of the aisle, republican and democratic proposals. David, i have to ask you, it sounds like none of them are going to pass. It does look pretty narrow and the view in the house is more difficult for these measures. There are a couple of movements i think around some legislation that senator collins is proposing that would effectively bar from people who are on a watch list, on a Government Watch list from buying a weapon but as long as there is enough due process that took place so they could appeal the ban on buying the weapon. They might have to do it under one proposal by senator cornyn that has 72 hours for the government to prove that they shouldnt be able to get the gun, that there is probable cause. The level of how much due process you get is what i think will determine whether this can go anywhere or not. It doesnt look like democrats want to vote for these. They have their own ideas. It is still something of a mud hole. I think the path is pretty doubtful for any of these measures. Jacque, it is so disheartening to hear that. Niece are all nings that everybody has said they want. Expanded background checks. 90 of americans want that. A Mental Health component. Thats something that all of the republicans after newtown said, thats where we should start. We should start focusing onement tall health. These are common sense measures that, again, had bipartisan support at one point. Why today will nothing happen . The problem is the details. David mentioned senator cornyns propose that will would require a 72hour wait for someone who might have been pinged by one of these lists. Well, senator feinstein yesterday said that is not enough time. There is no way they can go through that process in that amount of time. You talk about some of the Mental Health issues. There were questions during that debate on whether that would prohibit soldiers returning from iraq and afghanistan with ptsd from buying weapons. There are all these pieces and provisions in each of these bills that allowed them to be picked apart. It is a very complicated issue. The other problem is, there is a lack of political will with some of these members who are very much tired to the nra. This is the tactic you often hear. This is a political tactic which this measure by itself would not have prevented this attack. What you could say is there are multiple motivations. You also have this line saying that by talking about gun control, democrats are turning the debate away from terrorism. Lets have a listen to what Wayne Lapierre, the president of the nra had to say. If you had gun s in that roo, even if you had a number of people having them strapped to their ankle or their waist, where bullets could have flown in the other direction right at them, you wouldnt have that kind of tranldy. I dont think you should have firearms where people are drinking. Thats a different thing but Wayne Lapierre says, dont look at the terrorist, look over there and divert your attention. Thats what the antigun movement is doing. This was about guns and terrorists. You can read this as a question about immigration. Donald trump talked about it in that regard. You could look at it as a hate crime against lesbian and gay communities. You have a lot of different communities to frame this. There are other wrinkles when you try and reduce this legislation in a short period of time. If you are going to delay somebody, because they are on a watch list. Maybe they are looking at somebody who they may have questions about. Now, this alerts them that they are under the microscope. There are a lot of Different Things that are going on here. The reality is, because there is such a high hurdle. They have 60 votes. That xlincludes what you are talking b are there Mental Health issues, hate crime issues, immigration issues all woven through this. All of those things are present. Lets talk about that sound bite. Donald trump sort of goes off message. Not only has he strayed from the republican orthodoxy when he was suggesting dont let terrorists or people on the watch list get their hands on a gun. Then, he says, if only somebody in that club had a gun sdpchlt whether who exchanged fire. An offduty police officer. And the onduty Police Showed up within minutes and exchanged gunfire. Then, Wayne Lapierre says, i dont think i like the idea of people drinking having firearms. Then, Wayne Lapierre clarified later, it is find to carry a gun in that circumstance but you just shouldnt drink. I think what donald trump is supporting has a lot of people worried. Members of the military, general mcchrystal who commanded our forces in afghanistan had made the observation that without the proper train, the notion of arming up citizens to be ready for a situation like that is even more dangerous. I think the larger point you were discussing i
