were they every hour? were they every three hours? again, often when someone is on suicide watch, bureau officials can put him with a roommate to help keep an eye on him, but in the previous ichncident, that w another reason why this sex offender was put in isolation in his own cell, not with another roommate. again, these are questions that it s going to take some time to get answers to. we don t know how often, how regularly he was being checked on. more and more questions and the more we learn as well. jonathan dietz, thank you so much. appreciate your reporting. we re going to stephanie gosk with more on these court documents released yesterday. really disturbing information in those documents and more high-profile people implicated. what was in the documents and the takeaways from it?
perpetrator, for example, in el paso, then it s pretty easy to draw a line between those two dots. in any event, it s hate-filled rhetoric and it s not helpful and he should cease and desist. moving forward, while i have you here, when we re seeing calls on action taken with gun control, and we know the president s take on it, too, and not bugging republicans on recess here, where do you see it going? the senate should reconvene themselves immediately and pass the two measures relating to background checks that the house passed way back in february, six months ago. in the instance of one of them, it extends the waiting period from three days to ten days. we know as a matter and as a point of fact that that could have helped in the charleston church slaying of nine innocent people. the perpetrator was issued the gun because they came up against the three-day waiting period in federal law now.
employee came into work, there was an 800% increase in the number of employees that were h hit. there are inherent problems in how we re able to prosecute cases. sometimes they subcontract out so the employer didn t knowingly hire an undocumented immigrant. there are ways to get around it, but it shows how difficult it is to get those employers again. alan gomez, thank you for being with me. sex trafficker jeffrey epstein found dead in his jail cell. william barr said, i was appalled to learn that jeffrey epstein was found dead early
i ll have to see what happens down the road, but of all the 20 candidates, i think anyone would be a better president than donald trump. and the republicans are framing that democrats are the party of socialism and they re the party of capitalism. truly, mike, you re a capitalist. what do you think about this narrative? there are plenty of capitalists among the democrats as well as some that are probably pretty socialist among the republicans. nobody owns one spectrum of the economy. i think it is true that a lot of candidates say things for their constituencies that they have no intention of doing later on like what? but we ll see, people evolve and people change. i think some of the liberal things that it s really not practical, the economics wouldn t work, the public wouldn t want it, but in order to get through a democratic primary or republican primary,
