leadership. every single aide will walk out on you. your entire department leadership will walk out within hours and i don t know what happens after that. i don t know what the united states attorneys are going to do. we have u.s. attorneys in districts across the country. and my guess would be that many of them would have resigned. joining us now, the veteran journalist, bob bwoodward and carl bern teen whose amazing reporting uncovered the water date scandal. carl, let me start with i. how close did the country come to what many of us remember, a saturday-night massacre? the parallel is striking, except this is worse than the saturday-night mass cacre. in the saturday night massacre, president nixon attempted to shut down investigation of the white house. here, we see something much more egrievous. an attempt by the president of the united states to totally urnd undermine and structure and law put forward by the justice department of a plot, a coup plot to overturn the
concealed weapons and public. and for people who spent time in new york city. i think it makes a lot of sense, that they wouldn t want a lot of concealed weapons in the streets. of such a crowded, busy, chaotic city. and that law, which had those sort of requirements for what it takes to get a permit to carry a loaded weapon in new york. is what s being challenged. now that that lies struck down, not only will it allow more people to carry loaded weapons in cities like new york. it will also impact the laws in other states that have similar types of requirements and restrictions. like california, new jersey, and a whole slew of other states. so it challenges, we called it a permanent system around concealed weapons. the bigger concern is what i was the court is going to say in that decision. they could keep it pretty narrow. just strike down new york s law, which just means there needs to be a new law put in place that complies with the decision. where they can make broad sweeping stat
this is a real crime issue it stems from the 2020 law put in effects that allows individuals to be put into the streets. we met with the detective s union and law enforcement. they told us nine out of 10 individuals caught with illegal firearm are being released into the street guess what? only 17% of them are finally being prosecuted. that means we have prosecutors that refuse to prosecute. we have judges who refuse to set bail or when they have discretion or they are just being released automatically there was a shooting the other day in brooklyn. the guy had 24 prior arrests. he was out on parole by cuomo hochul s parole board which has been releasing cop killers, convicted murderers and racists and on top of it caught with an illegal firearm and released back onto the street because of the bail law. all of that is coming into play right now. the only way we are going to change it the people of new york elect prosecutors that prosecute. judges who actually consider people who actu
spunt is live in d.c. for the fallout today. good morning. good morning to you. what s interesting is that the mask issue was not even officially on the school board agenda last night. it was open for public comment but you better believe the subject came up as we just saw. seven school districts in the commonwealth of virginia are currently suing over governor youngkin s day one executive order that lets parents decide if kids should wear masks in schools. the districts suing saying he doesn t have the authority to override a law put in place by the general assembly last year that allows schools to impose mask mandates. we want to keep schools open. if you want to keep schools open this is literally the all we can do to keep schools open. a group of students who refused to wear masks saying they were quarantined unnecessarily. segregated from all the other students wearing masks. we were told to use different
unusual. and that s certainly in response to the shadow docket criticism. so i think the court is listening. i m not sure if that would affect the substantive rulings, but at least it s changing how they re hearing the cases. let s go back to what we heard today from politico. one of the key arguments the abortion clinics challenging the law put forward when asking the court to strike it down. kavanaugh theorized that a left-leaning state could offer a $1 million bounty against those who sell an assault rifle. there s a loophole that s been exploited here or used here, kavanaugh said. it could be free speech rights, it could be second amendment rights. that is a question we ve been posing here for i think since august when this was first allowed to stand.
