>> Martha: IN THE WAKE OF
ACTIVEX VETERANS, CONGRESS IS
UNDER INCREASING ARCHER TO ACT
, READ FAYE AGO LOGS ALL UNDER
DISCUSSION
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.
CORY BOOKER AND 2020
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IS A
LETTER IS FAR FROM ENOUGH.
>> YES THERE IMPORTANT BUT
THEY'RE NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH ON
THE STOP THESE RISING LEVELS OF
MASS SHOOTINGS.
THEIR MARK IN PUBLIC SHOULD
DEMAND MORE.
FRANKLY, THINGS LIKE BACKGROUND
CHECKS.
THE FAILURE WERE NOT DOING THAT
IS A FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP.
IT WAS BEYOND TALKING ABOUT THIS
MORE AND MORE,
SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM GETTING
INTRODUCED BIPARTISAN LEGISLATIN
INTRODUCED BIPARTISAN LEGISLATIT
INTRODUCED BIPARTISAN LEGISLATIO
ENCOURAGE MORE STATES TO PASS
THOSE RED FLAG LAWS.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGH
TONIGHT.
AS ALWAYS, QUESTION HERE IS IS
THERE SUPPORT FOR IT.
WE GO THROUGH THESE MOMENTS IN
THIS COUNTRY AND EVERYONE IS
DEVASTATED AND THE QUESTION IS
WHAT CAN YOU DO YOU'RE WITH THE
PRESIDENT OVER THE WEEKEND AND
YOU HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON YOUR
FELLOW SENATOR.
IT IS THERE A WEALTH OF PASS RED
LIKE LAWS?
>> AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL TO HELP
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AT THE
HANDS OF DANGEROUS PEOPLE.
THE PROPOSAL LINES I DEALT WITH
REQUIRING DUE PROCESS AT THE
STATE LEVEL SO THAT LOCAL POLICE
OFFICERS CAN HIRE ALL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS TO ADVISE THEM ON
WHAT CASES THEY WOULD TAKE TO A
JUDGE.
THE ONLY TIME YOU COULD HAVE A
PROTECTED ORDER AND HEARING WITH
THE JUDGE AND DUE PROCESS, BUT
HAVE NEVER SEEN THE PROCESS LIST
DETERMINED QUITE FRIENDLY.
HE'S DETERMINED ABOUT TWO
THINGS, TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE
WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM MENTAL
HEALTH PROBLEMS AND DANGERS TO
THEMSELVES AND OTHERS, BEFORE
THEY USE THE GUN AND WE HANDS
BACKGROUND CHECKS IN A WAY THAT
MAKES COMMON SENSE.
I THINK THERE'S BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT FOR THIS, MY QUESTION
FOR THE DECREMENTS, WILL BE
WILLING TO WORK WITH US OR
WILLING TO GO POST.
>> Martha: THERE'S OBVIOUSLY
BOTH IMPORTANCE, KIND OF TWO
SEPARATE THINGS.
IS THE LEGAL PUSHBACK TO THE
RED FLAG PROPOSAL, ALSO FROM BOB
BARR, THE FORMER MEMBER OF
CONGRESS WHO SAYS IT VIOLATES
THE 14TH -- FOURTH AMENDMENTS,
ALSO THE 14TH AMENDMENT FOR DUE
PROCESS.
HOW CAN YOU TAKE AWAY SOMEONE'S
GUN ON THE GOOD SOLID HUNCH BY
PSYCHIATRISTS AND THAT THEY
MIGHT DO SOMETHING TERRIBLE WITH
THAT?
>> I THINK THEY'RE BOTH DEAD
WRONG, QUITE FRANKLY.
THEY'RE BOTH LIBERTARIANS, THEY
DO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN PUT SOME
OF THE IN JAIL WHO IS A MEMBER
OF AL QAEDA.
THE FBI HOTLINE TIP THAT'S ARE
ABOUT READY TO GO TO SCHOOL AND
CHEW PEOPLE UP, SOCIAL MEDIA
POSTINGS, THERE ARE PLENTY OF
JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS EVERY DAY
IN AMERICA WERE SOMEBODY IS
ADJUDGED TO BE A DANGER TO
THEMSELVES AND EVERY BODY ELSE.
SELECT PROCESS IS APPLIED TO GUN
OWNERSHIP.
NOBODY HAS TO LOSE THEIR GUN
UNLESS THEY HAD THEIR DAY IN
COURT WERE NOT GOING TO CREATE A
SITUATION THE COPS SIT ON THE
SIDELINES AND WATCH SOMEBODY
BLOW UP WHEN THERE ARE PLENTY OF
WARNING SIGNS.
THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS NOT A
SUICIDE PACT, SO WHEN THE
JUDICIAL HEARINGS ALL OVER
AMERICA EVERY DAY DEALING WITH
PEOPLE WHO BECOME A DANGER TO
THEMSELVES AND OTHERS, THIS IS
JUST AN EXTENSION OF THAT
CONCEPT.
>> Martha: YOU THINK THE
PRESIDENT WOULD SIGN THIS BILL?
>> I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS
DETERMINED TO DO SOMETHING TO
EMPOWER COPS TO KEEP GUNS OUT OF
THE HANDS OF DANGEROUS PEOPLE.
IF YOU HAVE A RATE LIST AND A
KILL LIST, AND THEY SHUT DOWN
THE WHOLE SCHOOL BECAUSE HER
NUTS.
>> THEY GO TO YOUR HOUSE, YOU
KNOCK AT THE DOOR, WERE QUITE
THE SEARCH -- IN A
PRACTICAL MATTER HOW DOES IT
WORK?
>> YOU GOT TO GET A WORD FROM A
JUDGE, UNTIL THE JUDGMENT SAYS
THERE'S AN IMMEDIATE LIST YOU
HAVE TO CONVINCE A JUDGE THAT
THERE IS AN IMMINENT THREAT OF
BODILY HARM BEFORE YOU CAN ACT.
WITHIN SEVEN DAYS, YOU HAVE A
FULL-BLOWN HEARING WE HAVE TO
PROVE WITH CONVINCING EVIDENCE
THAT THE PERSON IS A DANGER TO
THEMSELVES OR OTHERS.
WE HAVE HEARING ALL OVER AMERIC
AMERICA, WITH PEOPLE BEING A
DANGER TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS,
AND GET THEM HELP.
DON'T SCREW ON THE N, AND
JUDGE TOLD NAPOLITANO, THAT'S
WHAT THEY SAY.
IF CAN IT PASS?
IT COULD PASS THE SENATE?
>> THERE 1718 STATES WITH THESE
LAWS.
SO, I WOULD JUST TELL
JUDGE NAPOLITANO THAT THERE'S
RINGS EVERY DAY WHO CAN BE
ADJUDICATED TO BE A DANGER.
IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY.
HERE'S THE QUESTION, WE HAVE TO
SIT ON THE SIDELINE AND WATCH
PEOPLE BE SLAUGHTERED OR WE KNOW
THAT THIS PERSON IS ABOUT TO
BLOW?
>> Martha: EVERYBODY IN THIS
COUNTRY DOESN'T WANT TO WATCH
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN LESS WEEKEND
AND EVERYBODY WILL WANT TO DO
SOMETHING.
I THINK THERE'S A LOT A MOMENTUM
FOR THAT, AND WERE GOING TO BE
WATCHING VERY CLOSELY TO SEE IF
YOU CAN GET IT ACROSS THE FINISH
LINE.
ONE LAST THOUGHT, YOU KNOW,
INCREASING ACTIVITY BY THE
TALIBAN.
ISIS APPEARS TO BE REEMERGING,
YOU'RE WITH THE PRESIDENT, HE
SAID QUITE CLEARLY THAT HE WANTS
TO PULL BASICALLY OUT OF
AFGHANISTAN, LEAVE SOME SORT OF
POLICE FORCE THERE.
DID YOU CONVINCE HIM OTHERWISE
THIS WEEKEND?
>> HERE'S WHAT I WOULD ASK HIM
TO DO, UNLIKE PRESIDENT OBAMA TO
ENDORSE, LISTENED TO GENERAL,
LISTEN TO YOUR NATIONAL SECURITY
EXPERTS.
IF WE LEAVE AFGHANISTAN WITHOUT
A COUNTERTERRORISM FORCE,
WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE GATHERED,
ISIS WILL REEMERGE, AL QAEDA
WILL COME BACK, THEY WILL OCCUPY
SAFE HAVENS AND AFGHANISTAN.
IT WILL HIT THE HOMELAND, THEY
WILL COME AFTER US, ALL OVER THE
WORLD, AND TO PREVENT THAT WE
NEED A MEANINGFUL
COUNTERTERRORISM FORCE THAT WILL
BE NO GOOD DEAL TO END THE WAR
IN AFGHANISTAN IF YOU DON'T DEAL
WITH ISIS AND AL QAEDA.
WE NEED A CONTINUING U.S.
PRESENCE, THEY'RE NOT POLICE
MEN, THEY'RE PROTECTING OUR
HOMELAND, WE HAD AMERICAN TROOPS
ON THE GROUND, THERE'D BE NO
9/11.
THE AFGHAN PEOPLE REJECTED THE
TALIBAN, BUT WE HOPE WE CAN GET
TO THE TALIBAN HONORABLY THAT
WOMEN DON'T GET PAID LESS, WE
CAN END THIS WAR
.
YOU DON'T WANT TO GET AL QAEDA,
THEY DON'T WANT PEACE, THEY HAVE
A CENTRAL FORCE LET SPACE BAR
US, LET'S DO WHAT OBAMA DID IN
IRAQ
>> Martha: WE COULD WHEN
AFGHANISTAN AND TWO, THREE, FOUR
DAYS.
BUT I'M NOT LOOKING TO KILL
10 MILLION PEOPLE.
>> EVERY SOLDIER THAT'S DYING IN
AFGHANISTAN ARE, THIS IS WHERE
9/11 ORIGINATED, AND ORIGINATED
IN AFGHANISTAN.
LET'S DON'T REPEAT THIS MISTAKE
TWICE.
GOOD NEWS, WE CAN PROTECT
AMERICA AND OUR INTERESTS WITH A
VERY SMALL FORCE COMPARED TO
WHAT WAS HAD IN THE PAST.
>> Martha: UNFORTUNATELY, WERE
STILL LOSING SERVICEMEN THERE.
WE WILL SEE WHERE THE NEXT UP
GOES.
