every once in a while somebody with a mental health issue erupts, and the question is, in my opinion, neil, we should be devoting attention to that. neil: all right. attorney general john o connor, thank you very much. we ll see what happens next. thank you for joining us on the weekend here. thank you the, neil. neil: in the meantime thank you, sir. on the issue of crime and what we do about it, reprimand for the los angeles d. the a. who d.a. who might have been too lenient, so lenient that he s essentially billion overruled. after this. no, he s seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that s. how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. this isn t just freight. your money never stops working for you with merrill, these aren t just shipments. they re promises. promises of all shapes and sizes.
trying to make, where is the common ground. they obviously seem open to maybe tighter background checks, but not everybody. i m wondering where they ll ultimately find it. it s really not going to be much of what the president outlined in his speech on thursday, it s going to have to be far more narrow to find common ground. so again, i think it s the red flag laws, 19 states that have somewhat similar. it s going to have to be narrow and include a conversation about mental health because that s what republicans are looking for. neil: i don t want to get fooled into thinking that we are going to have a deal here, but the fact that the two sides are talking and that, you know, senator mcconnell has made john cornyn his point man to try to work with democrats on this. it is a midterm election year and i i m wondering if that helps or hurts. that s an interesting question and it depends upon where these different representative senators are coming from, you know, you have states that
general, in a background check? the assailant here, in tulsa got the gun legally, is so we don t have much more to go on than that unless you have new information you can share. hen the issue then the issue becomes does something slip up in the background checks we do have? i m told that mr. lewis, the shooter, would have passed a background check. so i don t think he had any significant or contributory criminal background or mental health history. so then you ask the question, well, how far do you have to go in background checks in terms of banning people from having guns. and so i know the people of oklahoma, the majority of the elected leaders anyway, don t believe that guns are the problem and support the second amendment. so the i think that most people are probably thinking that we should increase our safe
subpoena and the committee evaporates or is dissolved, i don t see how you continue to prosecute that case. neil: you know, when i ask a dumb question, you can make it seem like it wasn t such a dumb question. i always wondered about that. tom, thank you very much. have a safe weekend, my friend. the former deputy assistant the attorney general of the united states of america. all right. crossing the pond right now and the big celebration, the country that once ruled america, britain is celebrating the queen s jubilee. 70 years, the longest serving monarch forget about british history, in human history. none have served longer. i don t know what the record was on king tut the, but we re told it s significantly longer than even his reign. the latest what they re planning to celebrate the queen. alex hogan live in london. reporter: good morning, neil. there s a whole list of festivities in the last couple days, but there is still so much more to come. we ll break down some of the ten
to get themselves into a position where if somebody was saying something that was problematic, that there were tools available to law enforcement and to the justice system to keep them from getting weapons. but that could and that may be the way to go. i would say this, however, it all starts with people speaking if they if you see something, say something. and you have to have people speak out. apparently, the young man in question in uvalde was text messaging or communicating by social media with a number of young girls and making violent threats. somebody should have spoken up. somebody should have said to their parent, dad, this guy i don t know him, but he s saying ugly things, and because we ve got to detect these people before they reach the breaking point, and he gave out signs, but apparently the system didn t we don t have a red flag law in texas, but absent that, law enforcement could have gotten involved if somebody had said
