when trump sent that text about mike pence. i want to ask you and we don t often do this but about something that joe rogan said on his very popular podcast where he was talking about joe biden, but also donald trump. listen. he s going to run again. do you think he s going to win? he s running against a dead man. biden shakes hands with people that aren t even there when he gets off stage. i think he s seeing ghosts. by the way, i m not a trump supporter in any way, shape or form. i have had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once, i ve said no every time. i don t want to help him. i m not interested in helping him. does that signify anything to you that he s saying i don t want to help donald trump, that joe rogan is saying that? it signifies it for now. we are in a moment where there are intense revelations coming out of the january 6th committee that donald trump is under investigation in multiple investigations and i think he doesn t want to be used basically
that failure every agency there has to own part of that. your issue is that everything is being pointed towards one place. sure. in some way. and if we point everything over here, then the truth is not going to come out and these families and this community they deserve to know what happened. are you concerned that the truth is not going to come out? i think we will get to the truth. i think they ve put themselves backed themselves in a corner and don t have a way out yet. they ve released so much bs in my opinion that they ve put themselves in a corner so how do you come out of the corner? reporter: brianna, what s happening here is that the mayor says he feels that no information is being released about what the state troopers, the texas department of public safety, what those officers were doing in the hallway. you hear him there say that there were 14 officers at one point from the dps in that hallway.
underlying problem which is absolutely the easy access to assault weapons. how much subjectivity is there in the process of these background checks? you have state laws that are interwoven with federal databases, but how much subjectivity among some individuals along the way does factor in? well, it absolutely varies. i mean, on the one end you have if somebody is arrested and convicted of a crime that s going to leave a record in a database that is going to be hopefully, if the system is working, seeable, reviewable and something that would cause a flag for a firearms purchase. on the other end of the spectrum you re absolutely relying on the subjective judgment of a whole number of people. folks who are observing the behavior of the person who is at risk or reporting it, whether they think that is sufficient to call the authorities and make a note of it. if their family, perhaps they don t want to do that because they re ashamed of it, because they re minimizing the issue or any
i do understand the frustration that many people are feeling that, look, we need something to do and we need joe biden to be present and to be a leader that meets this moment. to that point, governor, it seems like the overarching theme is that democrats want there could be urgency coming from the white house, they don t feel like they re getting that from the president and that includes democratic leaders who don t feel that they re getting that from the president. i kind of disagree. politico is a great gossip magazine for what i think is basically middle school on steroids which is inside the belt way and the truth is joe biden said things about the supreme court which needed to be said, which i ve never heard a president say. he s basically called them out for being unamerican, unpatriotic and a failure, and way out of step and taking away people s rights. that s an extraordinary thing for a president to say. it happens to be true.
as for the roads, there were a mess, cars got stuck across the belt way. mika, look at that. oh no! that s alexandri, that s absolutely gridlock. josh letterman has been stuck inside his car for about ten hours and the problem is not with the locks. he s in his car where he s stuck there and still 30 miles outside of dc. tell us what this has been like and what have you heard from people in the same situation? mika, this is a bit of insane and disutopian experience. i was headed back to d.c. last night and at 7:15 of several
