special counsel s questions in january, 6th investigation, and the faa says enough is enough, telling airlines they must do more to prevent close calls as a spring travel spring break travel season heats up. this is what we re watching at this hour. i can t thank you for being here. i m amarillo walker in for kate baldwin. we begin in nashville, where we re learning new details about the shooter who killed six people inside a private christian school. police say they don t know exactly why 28 year old audrey hale opened fire on monday morning. but what we do know is that hale was able to legally purchase a total of seven different firearms and was under a doctor s care for an emotional disorder. in another troubling sign. we are hearing from the shooter s former art instructor that hale had a breakdown on the first day of college. we re also learning more about the three children and three adults who were killed in this attack tonight. the city of nashville will hold a victim
Bank management clearly failed, supervisors failed and our regulatory system failed as well . and he s basically saying that there was a perfect storm of forces that led to these bank collapses. and today, matt senators introduced this bipartisan bill to give federal regulators the power to claw back pay from executives of failed banks. tell us more about that. yeah this is all about trying to hold bank executives accountable. this is a new bipartisan bill that was introduced by democrats, including senator elizabeth warren and republicans, including josh hawley, and this legislation would require regulators to claw back some or all executive compensation from banks from bank executives in the five year period leading up to a bank failure, senator elizabeth warren, she summed up the sentiment best, she said, quote americans are sick. n tired of fat cat bankers paying themselves handsomely. while risking other people s hard earned money. uh yeah. i think
It ain t going to matter because people are sick and tired on both sides of aisle of this kind of oppressive behavior from the financial industry. they re not though. hold on a second. they say that they are. we were all here after the financial crisi calling them fat cat bankers. america being furious nobody went to jail. not that furious because then president trump was elected. he surrounded himself with gary cohn and wilbur ross and they said let s get rid of dodd/frank and who needs the volcker rule. the argument is it would help them but they are seeing it isn t. you can t tell someone i m helping you and smack them in the face by allowing financial institutions to take advantage of them. it can t go on indefinitely forever. as a certain point there will be a realization. i don t know if that s 2020 or 2022 in the next midterms but people are going to wake up and say, you know what it turns out this rampant laissez-faire philosophy of financial markets and banking institution
Perspective there. corporate profits in the u.s. economy are stronging and the current rise is built on the climb made by president obama was in office. that was coming out of the depth of the horrible financial crisis, this is is the second longest bull market in history. there s a risk here, i think, in trump cheerleading the markets. what if they turn around, does he take credit for the fall? and the people who elected him may not feel the hot economy. fewer than half of americans are currently invested in the stock market. it s something interesting to watch. the more he takes credit for a hot stock market. is that sending a message to his supporters that he is cheer leading fat cat bankers, and not necessarily the little guy. it shocking to see the economy performing at a 36% approval rating. you would think it would be in the mid fif50s with that number. i will say something else about credit when credit is due,
Question. so obviously, you mentioned covering. and i remember those times. i guess some of the things that are causing people to do a double take here is because of what he said during the financial crisis. he slammed the banks relentlessly and mercy leslie. comments like these. i did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on wall street. i will not go back to the days when wall street is allowed to play by their own set of rules. the rest of us are not bailing you out ever again. do you hear any hypocrisy or not? my ear may be a little different than others. what i hear was a president that nold through and sought out allies like elizabeth warren and installed her in government to help her fight for consumers and fight for the broader economy. so i think people will judge on if basis of that record.
