Overdose. Heroin comes into the towns and just ruins the communities and families. And my question to you, sir, is do you and the members of congress intend to support Donald Trumps stance on protecting our borders by supporting his recommendations so that he can slow down that heroin thats coming into this country . And secondly, are there any laws currently being put together that would provide and mandate and i stress mandate stepdown procedures for folks that are being prescribed oxycontin and that type drug. By stepdown, just to, you mean, helping wean people on these opioids, wean them off. Yes, sir. Unfortunately, i have heard too many stories like yours just in the last couple of years. Im really sorry about the loss of your son. Im thinking of two buddies of mine in janesville, wisconsin who lost their sons just like you did. This affects everybody and it is an epidemic raging through our country. So yes, on your border question. Its one of the reasons i said why were building
The fire fg dozens of u. S. Attorneys. Joining me is cnn legal analyst, laura coats, attorney Stewart Kaplan a former special agent with the fbi. Good evening to you so glad that all of you could join us this evening. It was a total surprise to the u. S. Attorneys who were fired tonight, many of them are shocked, some are traveling on government business now. How was this handled . You know, its not particularly strange that a new administration has called for the exist are or the hold over u. S. Attorneys to actually resign in the usually happens at the beginning of every administration. What is odd is the abruptness, and of course youre dealing with a president who has some pending lawsuits across the United States which makes people kind of raise their eyebrows and thoink themselves, is this about a personal rebuke or is this about a professional administration trying to simply clean house to have people in place who will continue their policies or certainly look at their policies.
Patrick kelly, the more shocking that he was ever able to purchase a gun. Not only did this freak assault his wife and fracture of skull of his stepson, he also escaped from a Mental Hospital in that same time frame. Now, despite this, the air force never entered him into an fbi database. And that cleared the way for him to purchase weapons he used during the shooting spree. Absolutely incredible. Now, back in Sutherland Springs, were hearing about the many acts of heroism at the First Baptist church from those who survived and those who, of course, succumbed. By now youve heard about Steven Williford, the plumber who stopped the shooting by engaging with the killer with the killer with a gun. We learned about joanna ward, the mother died in a heroic attempt to shield her children from the killer. Joining us now, from Sutherland Springs, is a dear friend of this heroic woman, and shes a family spokesperson at a very difficult time. Also, texas lt. Tet. Governor, patrick, who spoke at l
Get back. My goodness. Seeing as martin saf rage is here with more information on all of this. Martin, officials just released that footage, its stunning. They also released the photographs youre seeing inside. What are you learning about them . One of the things were learning especially when you look at the weaponry he had inside, we knew had he a lot of guns. One of the new things thats come forward is he had a bump stock or a bump fire stock. This is an attachment, goes on the outside of the weapon. Youre not change the nec mechanism on the inside, its perfectly legal at least in most states. But what if does ask when you squeeze the trigger of a semiautomatic, you have to keep squeezing it. The bump stock takes the recoil from the first time you squeezed the trigger and causes a repetition. So in a laymans mind i would say that takes a semiautomatic and allows it to mimic at least is the best way to put it, firing automatically, which is why you can hear his weapon just bang, bang,
