weapons that we don t talk about in terms of gun control, these are not average but not high-density weapons. and so this is not falling uniquely or distinctly into the gun debate we often have in these discussions. and then the third factor is the ied. i think one of the problems is because we become acclimated with school shootings, we see with the assailants something we saw in terrorism, they have to keep upping the ante for people to pay attention and had this been successful and what he wanted to do is kill a lot of people and explode a lot of things and killing a lost people and we have to be cautious that there is this ratcheting up through the copycats as we see more and more of the school shooting cases. and you mentioned the issue of how this suspected shooter is thought to have been able to get firearms and it is true that very few of the laws, if any that i ve heard proposed in the last five years, after nif one
north korean regime. the chinese are also very good and once attention shifts, to kind of letting this same old same old go back into place in letting their buffer state continue to be a problem for us. they will have to keep their feet to the fire. import lay before the president s trip. the chinese communist party has their every five-year leadership conference. to regain and re-hold power and to see some of his people in place. we will be watching that very closely. brian: you are a war fighter by trade. you know that so is james mattis. how important was it for him to say to be ready, to be it says a lot. it s exactly what the president has been saying. just not as distinctly. one of the things the obama administration never fully grasped is in order for diplomacy to be effective, you
was arrested, everyone would be out in the wind. this is purely in protection of us as free society. i talked to either a police officer or fbi agent once told, if you could hear the things that we hear, if you could hear surveillance, you would be squared of leaving the house specially living in manhattan. how hard to keep this city, so big, so many moving targets, how hard to make that safe? that s a statement that came from general mattis and i remember when he made the statement distinctly, however, it s a difficult task but i truly believe that we have the finest law enforcement in the world and fit for the challenge and therefore they are going to implement all of the nuances in the technological advances and law enforcement to protect us as free society. by the way not just the people who reside in manhattan but the millions of people who come here to visit every year, every day. although we have an official
pence has been doing is very helpful. he has stated the position clearly and distinctly. and he is in an area where the russians practice military intimidation and may be setting up to do so again. so i think his visit is very timely. i think that s one thing that is working. with respect to the white house, we really have to get away from all of this stuff every day. we really have to go to problem solving. and the best people should be brought forward to do that problem solving. and i think the president ought to really put together, if he hasn t already, some high level teams of people who are militarily knowledgeable, government knowledgeable, about what is going on in some critical places in the world
it s was deja vu all over again but the teams has changed sides. distinctly i was watching chuck schumer warn republicans, you know, when you do things in the dead of night accommodations are made. i was thinking about the louisiana purchase. what people need to understand about the republicans in this health care bill, politically they re in a tough spot but it s tougher if they do nothing. their base elected them to run the entire government. one of the biggest promises we ve seen in american political history is to repeal and replace obamacare, the affordable care act. and despite how unpopular the american health care bill is and how poorly it s been received and how worried members are, if they do nothing they risk a repun yags by they own base and next year why bother showing up if you can t respond to a promise. so if the choice is voting 0 an bill the people don t like and
