american criminal justice, and fbi probe begun to find corruption in government may simply have exposed corruption within the fbi itself. though the last few days, we've learned a great deal about a man called peter strzok. until recently, strzok was deputy head of counterintelligence at the fbi. for the last two years, he was essential into investigations into investigations of hillary clinton and donald trump. last year, he was abruptly pulled off of robert mueller's team of investigators. the fbi want to explain why it happened, even when asked direce now we know it happened because strzok was sending highly political text messages to his mistress, who also worked at the fbi, messages praising hillary clinton and denigrating donald trump. why does this matter exactly?yt because everything about peter strzok's drop was essentially political. strzok was the man who signed off on starting the current russian investigation, the one that has totally overtaken the federal government. strzok was also the official who altered james comey's statement to avoid implicating hillary clinton and her famous server investigation. in other words, strzok's political opinions mattered. in fact, they may have changed american history. to illustrate it, consider how agent strzok handle two different series of interviews and criminal investigations. according to a new piece by chuck ross of "the daily caller," strzok was the agent whoed personally interviewed hillary clinton's top aide, sheryl mills, and huma abedin, during this investigation. government notes show that huma abedin told the fbi that she had no idea that hillary clinton wasde maintainig a private email server. in fact, only learned about it in the media. mills, for her part, went even further. she claims that not only did you not know about hillary server, she had no clue what an email server was. here's the problem. it looks like both mills and abedin lied. in a 2010 email to abedin, cheryl mills wrote, "hrc email coming back. is server okay." it turns out cheryl mills knew exactly what a server was. a year later, bill clinton a just and cooper emailed huma abedin to say he had shut e of a hacking attack. he discussed the server with huma abedin in 2009 while it was being set up. any reasonable person would conclude that both mills and abedin were lying, baldly, when i told the fbi they knew nothing about clinton's email server. lying to the fbi, as we've all beens reminded, is a felony. yet, neither mills nor abedin was charged or prosecuted for that. former national security advisor michael flynn must be looking on at all of this in bewilderment. agent strzok, it turns out, interviewed him, too. unlike hillary clinton's aides, michael flynn didn't get a pass. flynn pled guilty to a serious federal crime. his life has been destroyed. he has had to sell his house to pay his legal bills. two cases, same crime, wildly different outcomes. what do they do happen, and? one, highly political fbi agent. all of this raises the question, what other cases has strzok been involved in? the american people deserve to know. the fbi belongs to voters. the fbi doesn't see that we, of course. from their perspective, you have a right see it their way and do what you are told. this is of a secret police start. when law enforcement agencies decide to do the bidding of politicians, rather than pursue impartial justice on behalf of the public. we have to nip this night not -- this nightmare in the bud. dan bongino joins us tonight. dan, obviously i don't -- most americans don't -- want to think badly of the fbi or just suspect that politics are behind key decisions and investigations. but i am sincerely baffled as to how huma abedin and cheryl mills could apparently lie in their interviews to the fbi and escape any kind of penalty and michael flynn lies, and pleads to a felony charge. how'd cannot be? >> tucker, this is the weaponization of your government and mine. as a formal federal agent, if you are not scared of your government tonight, this case should at least tickle you a little bit and wake you up. donald trump's crime, make no mistake, was moaning this presidential electionhr presidential election. tucker, let's walk through how this started. this was all based on a crime, v air quotes, of violation of the logan act, an act that has never been successfully prosecuted in the history of the constitutional republic, which said that private citizens can't negotiate with foreign governments. really? why isn't jimmy carter in jail for going to visit the palestinians. why isn't jesse jackson in jailb for going to the north korea north korea? >> tucker: or barack obama whoin is abroad right now? or bill clinton? or any former president including ronald reagan? it's ridiculous. >> obama, who is just overseas doing that. who started this whole thing, with the logan act, according to multiple reports? sally yates, who used the premises of violating the local act, a largely fictitious crime no one has ever been prosecuted of, use that as a premise to go to the white house and say, well, michael flynn is subjected, could potentially be bribed because he violated a crime no one has ever been prosecuted for. tucker, this is a frightening case. double that down with andrew weissmann and jim comey. jim comey, who acknowledged starting the special counsel after he was fired by leaking sensitive data to the press. this case stinks. it's a scam, it's a sham, and it should scare every of american regardless of your political stripes. >> tucker: i guess what confuses me is the lack of oversight. for whatever reason, honestly, i'm confused, the executive branch, the white house, the leadership of the doj, haven't done a lot to rein them in. the congress also has oversight over the fbi, and it's not clear to me why fbi officials who refused to answer basic questions like what's in strzok's texts, why they are not being held in contempt of congress. >> what is doubly frightening about this, tucker, they are stonewalling on congressional requests for information. they are looking at protection only by deborah noonan is being held in contempt of court. think about this, the branch of government most intimately related to the people, the house of representatives, elected every two years, they represent the smallest number of people at the federal level, they are the accountable. they have set, the representatives of the people to the fbi, give us this information. we demand this. the fbi, not a knock on the men and women, i'll be crystal clear, they are wonderful, they are great. fbi management, someone there who has been infected with a political blog, has said, no, we are just not going to abide by . what are you operating? a shadow government? are you serious? can congress demand answers and just you can say no? >> tucker: i don't understand why everyone seems so passive in the face of this. this is as perversion, one, of the institutions that most americans respect, the fbi, but also, it's the most powerful federal agency. they can destroy your life in an afternoon. why is no one stepping forward to rein themem in? >> that is a great point, tucker. if you are a democrat in congress watching the show, i know we've got them, aren't you worried? the government is so powerful rightt now that the most powerfl man in the world, donald trump, the president, still can do nothing to stop this investigation, this sham investigation. if you are democrat, aren't you a little worried right now that may boomerang back on you? conservatives have been worried for years. it's time for liberals to wake up and shout this disaster down. it's a political witch hunt at its worst. it's an international disgrace, what's going on. we are being embarrassed on the global stage. s this is not an investigation, it's a scam. >> tucker: liberals used to worry about things like that before they took power and now they just benefit from it. dan, thanks very much very much. >> yes, sir. >> tucker: peter strzok, not the only political concern for mueller's team, as you heard dan elude. newly released emails show that a man called andrew weissmann, muller'ss deputy, praised acting attorney general sally yates for refusing to defend president trump's travel ban. using his work email, weissmann sent yates an email, saying, "i am so proud and in all, thank you so much. all my deepest respects." in other words, weissmann despises from so much that he supports politically motivated bureaucratic defiance of the president. nevertheless, he remains on mueller's team and it raises a bunch of obvious questions about the fairness of this process. brit hume is fox's senior political analyst and he joins us now. i don't think -- i have held back for months now criticizing the mueller investigation because i wanted to be on the level and i think americans have a right to believe that justice can be done in this country. so there have been all the stories about the number of mueller deputies who were big democratic donors, ignored them. at some point, you've got to wonder, how can a team comprised almost exclusively of people who hate the subject of the investigation conduct an impartial investigation, a fair one? >> i think that's a question, tucker. it's one that i have been asking myself in the last several days, given what we have learned about mr. strzok and mr. andrew weissmann. first of all, i don't like special counsel investigations or specialal prosecutors or independent counsel or any of the lot. i think it is always and everywhere a terrible idea because it sets up what amounts to an unaccountable unit using the justice department resources, but really, as a practical matter, outside the justice department's, andic it creates a situation in which a prosecutor appointed to do an investigation feels that he is called upon or she is called upon to prosecute. so it creates i think a bias in favor of action even where none may be warranted and there has only been a handful of the special prosecutors who have backed off and said nothing to see here. i think that is a problem. now you enter into a possibility that important figures within the investigation may be harboring serious bias against the subject of the investigation, and i think you have a problem that is made even worse. this weissmann thing particularly bothers me. after all, what was at stake here, tucker? the order that was issued by the president, controversial though it was, i think he had the legal right to do it. i think the supreme court has signaled that it also thinks he has a legal right to do it. here was the acting attorney general and the justice department saying, i am not going to use -- i'm not going to support you, i'm not going to make the case for what you have done here. that is a dereliction of duty. she was fired for it, she should have been fired for it. a huge grandstanding. she was widely applauded on the left for doing it. for this weissmann guy to weigh in with this encouragingly cri, the suck up email to her, raises serious questions about his impartiality, whether he can be impartial. i think we have serious questions, no question about it. >> tucker: so the basic question, does this have anything to do with collusion with russia and prussia's effect on the 2,016 election outcome, which was, ass you know, the original pretext for the investigation, that seems to have been abandoned, nobody seems to have noticed his disappearance. will this investigation wind up, and the end, bearing directly on the question of russian involvement in the 2016 electio? >> my guess is it well. remember, tucker, this investigation started, which mueller took over, started under comey, way back in 2016. it was a counterintelligence investigation, that is to say, it was in an investigation by the fbi acting as an intelligence agency to determine the extent of russia'sf efforts to penetrate an influence the election. it was not, at that time, thought to be a criminal investigation. in theou course of that, you'll remember, tucker, we now know that james comey told the president, told now president, then candidate trump, that he was not the subject of the investigation, or a subject. now we have progressed to the point where it is taken over by mueller and in his charge, the question of any collaboration between the trump campaign and the russians is certainly part of it. it's not all there is to it. at some point, we are going to gand, i think from mueller's team, a report on what the russian side did, what they tryo do. we'll find out in the course of that whether they think there was some kind of collaboration between the trump camp and the russians that had any significant effect on the election. i continue to hold out hope that in the end, mueller, a man of considerable reputation, would have thef integrity, if he finds nothing really worthy of prosecution, to say so. but i am getting less confident of that by the day, i'm afraid. >> tucker: i am, too. i don't want to feel that way but the evidence is mounting. brit hume, thank you. >> you back. >> tucker: we are broadcasting live tonight from las vegas, just steps from the scene of the worst massacre in american history. why do so many questions remain about that massacre? and fire police appearing to move so slowly to answer the public's concerns? in that vacuum, conspiracy theories are growing. our investigation, live from las vegas, just moments from now. ♪ this is electricity. ♪ this is a power plant. this is tim barckholtz. that's me! this is something he is researching at exxonmobil: using fuel cells to capture carbon emissions at power plants. this is the potential. reducing co2 emissions by up to 90%... while also producing more power. this could be big. energy lives here. if you'd have told me three years ago... that we'd be downloading in seconds, what used to take... minutes. that guests would compliment our wifi. that we could video conference... and do it like that. (snaps) if you'd have told me that i could afford... a gig-speed. a gig-speed network. it's like 20 times faster than what most people have. i'd of said... i'd of said you're dreaming. dreaming! definitely dreaming. then again, dreaming is how i got this far. now more businesses in more places can afford to dream gig. comcast, building america's largest gig-speed network. [gunshots firing] [screaming] >> tucker: stephen paddock's killing spree it on october 1st was the deadliest one man shooting in the history of his country. 58 people were killed. he died, as well. it's a tragedy that demands answers but instead, questions have only piled up. why have we heard nothing more about marilou danley, for example, his girlfriend? even though police say she may be hiding something. where was vegas' 40 members clot team as he went on his rampage? why have las vegas' police been hostile to us? they refuse to answer questions about security guard jesus compost. they made it impossible for us to get a filming per print on public land. why? we have no idea. it tells us something interesting. catherine lombardo is an attorney representing many of the victims.ni doug is a security expert. he joins us tonight. give me the overview here. we were talking in the break, we have compiled a list, my producers and i, of questions to which we have no answers, very basic questions, i won't repeat them on the air. we know basically nothing. why? >> i don't have any idea. it was one of the reasons why i started writing the stories, right after the incident, i wrote 35 stories to date. i'm trying to get some answers from the las vegas metropolitan police department and every time you call, initially, they are very rude or they say, they comment that it's an ongoing investigation. i have some specific things that really bothered me from theot start, one, where was the 40 member s.w.a.t. team the night of the worst mass shooting inor american history? >> tucker: let's start there. what's the answer to that? >> nobody knows. and nobody actually asked the question to sheriff lopardo. i was the only one who wrote this. no one knows where they where. i was talking to sources with them, and outside the metropolitan police department, levi hancock, the officer that reach the door with explosive, went in with an ad hoc team of two k-9 officers and he was a detective, and he was a little concerned about his safety, from what i was told, because he was going on with people he never worked with before. his s.w.a.t. team members were not in sight. that is one of the things i raised, one of the issues i raised in the story. i do not know. >> tucker: you can add that to a long list of things we don't know. i think a basic question i have had for maybe an income i haven't heard at address, did stephen paddock come to the attention of authorities, federal, state, or local, before the shooting? i'm not alleging a conspiracy. do they know who this guy was? do you know the answer? >> i suspect the answer is yes, based on what i have heard. i can't remember what his remark, was conspiracy come and what's fact on some days. i've received a lot of information on paper. i think they knew who he was. >> tucker: answer that even more basic question. your handling the legal end of this. where is the information coming from?io the fbi took over both of the investigations. is there a central source or known facts about what happened or is it ad hoc? >> there is no source right now. at all. if for any information as to what happened. like i said from the beginning, we expected her to take 4-6 months. i have said from the beginning that the lawyers for mgm and the corporate executives have been hunkered down in a room from day one, moment one, and they are putting all of their resources to protection of themselves. >> tucker: that's it. i don't know the answer to any of these questions but i know lying when i see it, i can smell it, and there's a lot of it around this story. i suspect -- i'm not alleging a cover-up -- i don't think that simple as that, but the authorities are trying to cloak their incompetence from the public. you have evidence that that's true? >> one of the things i picked u up, i did a story, i was told from sources inside and outside the police department, i verified it, the homicide division early on was pulled off this case. homicide detectives normally investigate homicide and suicide because you don't know if a suicide is actually a homicide until it's investigated. they were pulled off the case and the case was given to an entirely different bureau commander, the public accountability section. the captain of the force investigation team, investigating the paddock shooting, i was told this by the investigating unit, the captain's captain kelly make mayhill, the wife of the numberr two guy running the police depa. it seems a little bizarre. when i try to get some answers as to why the homicide division was pulled off and it was given to the investigation team, youti got to understand something, the force investigation team investigates officer involved shootings and police officer use of force. i could not get any answers. >> tucker: that is the story thing. whole let me ask you a couple of really simple questions that i have been wondering about. from the very beginning, we heard about from stocks, that was the signature piece of hardware from this tragedy. yet, the photographs of the rifles in the room that were publicly disseminated had by pods on. anyone who has operated bump stocks come i said you can't operate a rifle with a bump stocks if it has a bipod because it i is not moved back and fort. are they still saying that bump stocks was used in this? >> they have not told us. what we suspected that he had a complete and total arsenal upstairs in his room. >> tucker: for what purposes? whyse would he have two shooting positions when only one -- just looking at it, it seems like the angles were not necessary. do you have any insight on that? >> based on what we have heard, it was fully planned out by him. he was up there for we think six days. you know that the first few days he was there, he was registered under his girlfriends name. he was actually there for five or six days planning this. we don't think he left the room once. >> tucker: were housekeepers ever in the room? >> we don't think housekeepers were allowed in the room eithero he had the do not disturb sign. once mgm, mandalay bay, gives us the answers that i requested, that we've requested through our subpoena process, through the civil investigation, pursuant to the lawsuit, i just received a piece of information last week. i received the special event permit fromrm the city. there it is, and black and white, handwritten, filled out by an mgm executive for this event that happened right behind us. it wasn't live nation entertainment. it was mgm, corporative executive, who filled out the special event permit for this particular concert. so their fingerprints are all over it. >> tucker: finally, why would with the interior door be locked? police say theyy broke through. b, how could an officer have fired a weapon accidentally in the room after thehe shooting? any explanation? >> again, i raised both those issues in my stories. as far as the door being locked, they reached the outer door when they went in, you heard that on the radio, and then when they went in after they cleared the first room, you hear them saying we have to preach the second door in five seconds. if you are breaching the door, they couldn't get in, so it was locked. my question is who locked that door? according to sheriff embargo, paddock committed suicide right after he fired that last round. who locked the door? >> tucker:r: it's one of many questions. i suspect we should be here all week to get answers. we'll continue following the story.or thank you both. >> thank you for covering it. >> tucker: supreme court indulged its sweet tooth today as it considers whether bakeries may be required by the government to bake cakes for gay weddings. that case is next. we'll have more on the mandalay bay shooting, of course come alive from las vegas. he's a good musical technology, and open standards. the ibm cloud. the cloud for business. yours. the cloud for business. so we know how to cover almost we've anything.st everything even a "red-hot mascot."

all unless it agrees to provide them to same-sex weddings, even though those weddings conflict with the owners christian beliefs. today the supreme court held oral arguments in that case, which has critical implications for the scope of religious freedom in the united states and for the exercise of speech itself. shannon bream hosts "fox news @ night" but she's also our chief legal correspondent and very good at that. she joins us now to explain what this case is about. great to see you, shannon. >> you, too, tucker. heated inside and outside, lots ofin demonstrations today. b inside, he did as well, because the bench was hot. they wereey often asking questions, talking over each other, not allowing the four attorneys who argued this case a to really get in a word edgewis edgewise. what is at the center of this case is essentially jack phillips is a christian bakery order out of colorado. he was approached by a same-sex couple who said that we want you towh do a wedding cake for us, a custom wedding cake come at the time, same-sex marriage was not legal in colorado. they are planning to get married in another state where it was legal and come back. he said, i will sell you anything in the shop but i'm an artist andan i can't lend my skills to anything that is offensive to my christian faith. he had turned away other cakes and events, as well. it was never about the person, it's about the message that he is expected to endorse and he said there is no way the government can force me or compel my speech on that front. the couple says they left humiliated, they say this is not about a cake, it's about freedom, lgbt rights. they don't want another couple or other lgbt individual in this country to go through what they went through. if you are in this stream of commerce, you need to be able to step up and sell. you can pick and choose your customers. i will read you of what justice anthony kennedy said. everybody watches him because he has authored many cases, many decisions, that are broadening lgbt rights at helping the lgbt community. talking with the o dignity of tm and their families. today he writes an interesting point when he said this. he said, "tolerance is essential in a free society. it's meaningful when it's mutual. it seems to me that the state and its position has been either tolerant nor respectful of mr. phelps religious belief. he was tough on both sides but he'll probably be the key in this case, tucker. >> tucker: a very reasonable point, i think right shannon, thanks a lot. it's because you bet. >> tucker: mike farris as president, ceo, and general counsel of alliance defending freedom, the group that represents masterpiece cake shop. thanks for coming on. >> great to be with you. >> tucker: so tell us why this case affects the rest of us who don't own cake shops in colorado. >> because is probably about freedom of speech and the artist that created cakes, the artist that create music, prints, all sorts of artistic creation. anyone in the free-speech business will be affected. they contend that anyone who creates any kind of speech in the stream of commerce has no first amendment rights whatsoever to not be coerced by the government.rg that coercion of speech is at the pinnacle of what the free speech clause has always been designed to protect against. >> tucker: wait a second. the aclu's theory, i thought the aclu was founded in order to protect the freedom of speech. of the unpopular, by the way, war resisters, and people on the fringes, but they have given up on that charter? >> they have indeed. i think they have lost their way. i did not d agree with the aclun many issues but i admired them for them consistency on their free speech. back onhey turned their the agenda, the gay marriage issue, they have blinded them. moreover, justice kennedy focused on the religion and tolerance that was shown by one of the colorado civil rights commissioners.th justice kennedy engaged in a heated exchange. he basically force the solicitor general of colorado to disavow a statement by one of the commissioners who was very antireligious in their comments and i think that may very well turn this case and an important direction. >> tucker: i don't really know what this has to do with same-sex marriage or gay rights, and i personally know some gay people who are appalled because it suggests that government can tell you whoever you are, exactly what to think, and if you disagree, they can punish you. that is a threat to everybody, no matter who you voted for. it's because that's exactly right. america used to be founded on the premise that i disagree witw what you say but i'll defend your right to say it. that is an important principle that is at stake and i hope and believe that the court will come out right on this. it will be a close call, very, very contentious today. >> tucker: who on the supreme court would you expect would uphold the idea that government can punish you for having views it dislikes? >> some of the liberal justices on the court, they made comments that would tend to put them in that direction, but i have hope that a couple of the others that are usually in the liberal category may see the better of it. i would rather not name names unless i predict wrongly and lose the vote on the supreme court. >> tucker: [laughs] that might be counterproductive. thank you very much. >> think there, tucker. >> tucker: a writer at aco college newspaper said that dna of white americans is "an[r abomination" and therefore they should be killed.>> that actually happen. up next, we'll ask why newspapers would publish genocidal rhetoric like this and what happened to the kid who wrote it. plus will continue our ongoing investigation of

in what ways do they supported? >> they defended his right to "free speech," when we tried to defend the newspaper. we believe that our tuition dollars are best spent on things that promote our values, our university's values, and our community's values, and not on white death in these extreme, radical, leftist point of views of the university administration backs. >> tucker: i think of an extreme radical left point of view as, like, i don't know, public funding of -- public takeover of factories or something. this is just nazi stuff, this is genocide, i'm quoting now, "white death will mean liberation for all." a direct quote. we are not taking them out of context. the guy called for genocide of a group. how could the school defend something like that? >> the school didn't defend it. they did fire the writer. but they didn't take enough action. the reason they didn't take enough action is because the university star has a history of putting out articles like this, including one that called for just about a month or two ago, the sterilization of an entire class of people. they also wrote an article called "free speech is for white people. >> tucker: the sterilization of whom? >> the wealthy. they said it was good for the environment if the wealthy were sterilized and were not allowed to reproduce, as they put it. >> tucker: what would happen -- let's stop playing games -- not you, but, oh, he's got a first amendment right. if he had written a column saying i sincerely believe in o genocide for any other racial or ethnic group, but he still be on campus? wouldn't someone call the cops? if he called for the killing of people, do you think the administration would say, he's got a first amendment right? >> absolutely not. this goes back to a larger issue, which is that our spineless university administration, and the president of the university is willingly and actively engaging and sanctioning hateful rhetoric that comes from the "university star," not only this article, but a series of articles. until the paper is completely defunded and all of the radical people on the opinions board are fired and disciplined by the university, it's not going to stop. steve wantedun the president of the university make the point that genocide of a specific group, or all genocide for that matter, is bad? did they at least say, we find these views disgusting, or anything like that? >> she said that she found them disgusting but her actions speak louder than her words. she sent out a two paragraph email, while they were actual riots going on on campus and people were getting hard at the university because of violent leftist rhetoric. all she could do is respond with a two paragraph email and fire only the person that wrote the article, not the opinions editor, that sanction the article, and not only agrees with the article, but his crowd funding for the person who was fired because that person was arrested at a violent protest of donald trump's inauguration and she is crowd funding for his legal fees. she is still employed by the university's sanctioned paper. >> tucker: it's all falling apart. collin, thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> tucker: gun-control activists pressuring the attorney general of the state of nevada to act following stephen paddock's rampage, the attorney general will be here next. we continue to broadcast live from las vegas as we try to understand what exactly happened here at america's deadliest shooting two months ago. we'll be right back. liberty mutual saved us almost eight hundred dollars when we switched our auto and home insurance. liberty did what?

yes. ellen. that's my robe. you could save seven hundred eighty two dollars when liberty stands with you. liberty mutual insurance. you imagine who i am. what i look like. where i live. but look past the things that won't make a difference to find someone who will. search for greatness. search indeed. ♪ [gunshots firing] >> tucker: the shots were still working in the air almost one gun-control activists seized on the tragic shooting to raise more money, of course, and demand new laws. now they are putting pressure on the states elected officials. adam laxalt is thel. attorney general of the state. numerous people, including the clark county district attorney, are wanting him to enforce a law. he said it's completely unenforceable. adam laxalt joins us tonight. thanks a lot for coming on. the first, the macro question, which is, leaving aside the details of the gun-control policy, shouldn't we try to figure out why this happened before we propose a solutions? that might have prevented it? >> e this is what happens every time when there is an incident that involves guns in any way. of course, the political left immediately goes to this issue. you're right. i mean, there were calls for gun control and calls against me regarding this ballot initiative and enforcement within hours of what happened. you are right. we need to figure out what is going on. >> tucker: paddock went through a lot of trouble to commit the atrocity he committed and spent a long time doing it, and a lot of money. people don't do that for any reason. you have any inkling as to what thatat reason was? >> the best way that i try to understand what happened here, as horrible as this was, this is basically a modern-day serial killer, and once upon a time, you had the streets of london and someone would go through and kill particular women for weeks at a time and unfortunately this is a modern phase of a really sick person, plotting a way to kill hundreds of people over a long period of time. unfortunately, he pulled this horrific deck off. >> tucker: he certainly did. the background check proposal, tell me what is wrong with that >> so the bloomberg gun group, they poured in almost $20 million in the state of nevada in 2016 so they could get this ballot initiative through, and despite people complaining about the language, it passed, and it passed by less than 1%. the problem was, the way they wrote it, they said that only the fbi was allowed to do background checks. we are a point of contact, in nevada, we do our own background checks. when push came to shall become our voterst passed it, by the fi sent a letter saying that we want to do background checks, you can't make us do it. i was asked for a legal opinion by the governor's agency, that does our background checks, what do we do with this? understandably, without the fbi doing the background checks, there is no way to move forward with a ballot initiative. >> tucker: so, in effect, this would mean no background checks? >> on this particular area of private sales for guns, there is no way to move forward. it's important to know that the way they wrote this was intentional.te in our state, if they had sent it to the state, it would have cost them money. it would have looked like a tax and likely, it would not have passed. people felt like they needed to pay for this particular period >> tucker: i think what i find so confusing is that stephen paddock followed specific law, and the laws that gun-control advocates had told us would prevent this, did nothing of the sort. i believe he bought all of thes> legally. it is not right? >> as far as we know, he went through all the checks, no history of mental illness that anyone was aware of criminal prior felonies. he went through all the normal hoops and was a lawful gun owner. >> tucker: why are we having the same stupid conversations againn and again? i don't understand. >> i think it is pure political grandstanding. peoplere want to score points, they want to go after someone like me. in this particular case, on the heels of this horrible incident, i received death threats and my family, i have a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old, and now all of a sudden, we need to worry about protecting my family while we are indd the middle of this horrific incident. >> tucker: i know the feeling well. mr. general, thank you very much. good to see you. this is a fox news alert. federal officials have filed new charges against the illegal immigrant recently acquitted in the murder of kate steinle in san francisco. those charges include both immigration and gun violations. the illegal immigrant in question escaped conviction for both murder and manslaughter somehow despite admitting the he gunned down her within the legal gun that was stolen from a parked car as she walked along a san francisco pier. of course, we'll continue to follow the story to its conclusion. we will continue to stay on top of questions that swirl around the massacre here in las vegas two months ago. they are still more questions than answers, many more basic questions unanswered. more from the vegas strip next. hi...so i just got off the phone with our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight- four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. ♪ ♪ trace every precious product, every step of the way, with a blockchain built for business. the ibm cloud. the cloud for business. yours. the cloud for business. this ♪s electricity. this is a power plant. this is tim barckholtz. that's me! this is something he is researching at exxonmobil: using fuel cells to capture carbon emissions at power plants. this is the potential. reducing co2 emissions by up to 90%... while also producing more power. this could be big. energy lives here. ♪ >> tucker: airbnb allows almost anyone to rent through them but now it has a problem. users renting out their homes and apartments keep finding hidden cameras in the units. just the last couple of months, two renters have discovered hidden cameras in their bedrooms. airbnb insists it's a nice serious problem, it sounds like one. yet, a common trait of hidden cameras is that they are headed. how are they sure of that?
