shimon, you ve obtained the report and read it. tell us what you ve learned. reporter: the lackadaisical response, they talk about how there was no command, no control, no leadership essentially on the scene of the shooting. it was just truly chaos, every officer doing their own thing. we re also learning what the police chief, the school police chief, pete arredondo, told the committee. he appeared before the committee. he explained his thinking. he said at one point he didn t believe there were any kids inside the score because it was awards day. what he said was he looked at an adjacent room, room 110, and when he went in there, there was no one in there, and it made himly were no babies as he said inside the room. of course, we know that was not the case. he also describes how initially his thinking was that this was an active shooter situation, but then what happens is he starts to believe that the subject, the gunman, is barricaded, and that in order to rescue the oth
Greenlighting an investigation into biden without any evidence of wrongdoing. And in moments, ill speak with the throne and mccarthys side, that is republican Congressman Matt Gaetz who is threatening to oust the speaker, in part over this issue. But first, some context. Republicans want to know if President Biden benefited from his sons business dealings. And that is a legitimate question. But the doj did spend here is investigating hunter biden, and so far there has been no evidence that his father did benefit. Meantime, House Republicans and their investigations have presented zero direct evidence to contradict that. Also, mccarthy is to invest now unilaterally without even a vote, even though Kevin Mccarthy himself from 11 days ago disagreed with that method. Quote, if we move forward with an Impeachment Inquiry, it would occur for a vote on the floor of the peoples, house not for a declaration by one person. And just four years ago, mccarthy attacked democrats for doing the same.
i think there is an argument of criminal liability in this case. even if there isn t criminal liability, we ve talking administrative liability. i think every law enforcement agency that was there on the scene needs to go through their protocol and look at the actions of every one of their officers and if they violated the protocol, they need to be accounted for it administratively. i understand what you re saying. commissioner davis, when we hear in this report now spell out there were some 376 law enforcement responders from 20 different agencies, how do you assess the failures? i mean, clearly, multiple failures, everyone s in agreement with that. but how do you assess how everyone got it wrong among the 376 responders of all of these agencies in terms of not being more aggressive? not being more urgent?
and sink it administratively, but it s still the letter of the law. what you saw at the very beginning of the trump administration as opposed to the end of the obama administration was that the bureaucrats and the administrators went at it immediately trying to things add 34i68, nministrative bothering with congress. you can do things quicker that way, but they re more durable. i ll give you a quick example of that. when you saw the obama administration change the rules on transgendered and being allowed to serve in the united states military, that was done very quickly. that was celebrated in some quarters. questioned in others. but as soon as you had a new administration, they were able to reverse that. and so when you think about lasting and durable changes, you come to the congressional aspect and legislative aspect and that s why these midterm elections are going to be so contentious. not only do we have emotional zee bates about abortion and roe v. wade and what s going to happen
