what s your answer to that question? let s talk about what can be done really immediately. we are watching a radicalization process take place of young people toward violence. they need to hear from the person they think is giving them the license and freedom to act violently. that s the president. we need to hear from that person strongly condemning and rebuking this ideology. that will put an obstacle on this path to violence. all right frank, nate, thank you both very much for joining us us on this difficult evening. whether we return i m joined by congresswoman karen bass, and former congressman tom coleman about what has been done, what can be done and what if anything will be done in washington? dong will be done in washington [ dogs barking ]
we re know throat when we start talking about from hating those people to killing those people. it s time for a discussion in congress to ask law enforcement what tools do you need to stop this from happening? i think we have the sound of christopher wray talking about this threat. let s watch. through the othird quarter of this fiscal year had about, give officer take, about 100 arrests on the international terrorism size, which includes the home-grown extremism. this year? this year, but don t quote me to the exact digit, on the domestic terrorism side. a majority of the domestic terrorism cases that we have investigated are motivated by some version of what you might call white supremacist violence. that warning coming in july.
about a month. he talks about his weapons. he also says, one of the few references to the president, he says that he formed these views long before donald trump came on the scene with his campaign. and he also cites approvingly the shooting in march in new zealand that targeted two mosques and that shooter in turn had supported the norwegian gunman who shot 51 children. so you see this pattern emerging of where these white supremacists are inspired by other acts of this kind. so this does seem to be domestic terrorism. this does seem to be white supremacist violence. on the other hand from what we know the dayton shooting does not seem to show that. the police chief said there s no evidence at this point of bias, they don t know what the motive is, and complicating this is the fact the gunman s sister and friend were all in the same car with the gunman when they arrived at a parking lot earlier in the evening and then they
hundred people last year for committing that crime of lying and trying to buy a weapon. it s an excellent predictor someone will then go try to get a gun through a straw purchase or through the gun show loophole or by stealing it. this strikes me as simple common sense bipartisan legislation. we should be able to pass. the chairman of the judiciary committed to passing it. we also recently had a strong hearing on extreme risk protection orders on ways that we could identify circumstances such as happened in parkland, florida, where a deranged individual s clearly intent on using violence and owns a weapon that would allow for an expedited process. there are things we can do, kasie. we have to do more than express our concern and thought about thoughts and prayers. i think my question for you, senator, i understand that and i know you and many of your colleagues on the democratic side had been advocating for much of this. but the reality is the american people don t really see anythin
party in congress has been nearly unified, especially on background checks, for example, so a bill to do comprehensive background checks we voted on it in the senate in april of 2013. near unanimity on the democratic side. very few republicans would support it. but two nights ago we took a step forward in the budge tote help fix the records system against which you check gun sales and also to allow research into gun violence. these were two things we could not have gotten done in the past because republicans were blocking them along with the nra, but the active engagement of young people convinced congress, we better do something. now, i think some in congress hope, well, if we do this two days before the march, maybe these young kids will say thanks and go away. but i was marching in richmond. i had a lot of friend marching in d.c. these youngsters aren t going away, and we need them. so often in the history of our country it s been young people whose advocacy has turned the
