A Week Later...



  
    This week I watched Fox News Sunday with host, Chris Wallace. The guest on the show were Attorney General Loretta Lynch & Senator Jeff Sessions. The pundits on the show were Brite Hume, Amy Walter, George Will, Juan Willams. Along with that I watched State of the Union with stand in, Dana Baker. Guests on the show were Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Senator Jeff Sessions, Senator Ron Johnson. The pundits were Ana Navarro, Jeffrey Lord, Zavier Becerra, and Nina Turner.

  A week after the Orlando shooting and the investigation with Omar Mateen is still continuing and many senators are asking for change in the senate. These topics are presented in our first interview with Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. The topics were on the Omar Mateen's wife and why she's not in custody, the release of the transcripts of the 911 phone call with the shooter, and gun control bills being presented in the senate. Chris brings up one of the bills where a civilan who's on the terrorist watch list or no fly list and is trying to buy a gun; the government will have 72 hours to determine if the sale will go through. Chris points out a valid point that the bill is taking away a person's constitutional right, wouldn't due process and thought of process be incorporated as well in the bill? And Mrs. Lynch responds that we have to incorporate both and addition to that providing due process, we have strong law enforcement trying to keep these people safe. Another point brought up is if 72 hours is enough and she explains if the sale in the first place should even proceed or that the government actually will need more time. We head into comments she made that coincidentally look like they are targeted at Trump. But she answers that they were made in general about the climate of fear and hate after the attacks in Orlando. The topics after that were the CIA director saying that ISIS plans on attacking western countries. The interview ends with the endorsement of Hillary Clinton by Obama and if that creates a conflict of interest between her and the president because of the investigation. She says that she doesn't talk about the case with president nor talks about the candidates with him. The next interview is with Senator Jeff Sessions. We open with the statements made by Loretta Lynch about homeland security. Mr. Sessions says that the administration is out of touch and really isn't focusing on the issue of Islamic terrorism. We go on and talk about Trump meeting up the NRA and not allowing people on the terrorist watch list or no fly list getting a gun ever. And for the first part, the senator agrees with trump but not the part of never getting a gun. His view on the take is more in stance with the attorney general. They talk about Trump's comments over these last few day. Such as his rant on soldiers taking millions from reconstruction, saying that Obama should resign, and the division between the GOP party and him (Trump). They talk about Trump's low dip in the polls and if he has squander these last few weeks which a question that a supporter of Trump should really think about. And the senator says that he didn't squander these weeks but it has been difficult for him and gathering more supporters. The interview ends with delegates trying to change the rules, so that the delegates aren't bound and is it realistic. And, no says the senator, its just talk. We end with the Sunday panel and talk about gun control bills, and the CIA director's statements about terrorist and a new way on fighting ISIS. One of the members states that they are finding alternative ways on spreading their cancerous ideology and its rallying on social media and infiltrating refugee camps and attacking them. And even if we defeat them on the battlefield, their presence in places like Africa, social media, they are still winning.
They go on and talk about the gun control bills and if they are going to be able to pass in the senate. Some of panels says that its likely not going to happen or its some changes. And continue with the talk of what issues are the candidates are doing well and why Trump's poll numbers are low. And if Trump's statement that if he wanted he could leave the RNC and how that wouldn't work out for him.


   Our next show is State of the Union and we begin with our first interview with Loretta Lynch. We start with the release of the transcripts of the 911 phone calls between the shooter and operator: and with the conversations between the two. The investigation on the motivation is still going on. Dana brings up the events leading up to the shootings and a gun shot owner alarming authorities over him but did not think much of it. And both ladies praised the man for doing the right thing but still was too late to save the people of the attack. They go on talking about the employer not knowing about him being under watch by the government, the wife and what will happen once she's in front of grand jury, if Disney World was another potential place where the shooter was gonna shoot up. The host brings up a point if political correctness is hindering these government investigation. And I think Mrs. Lynch gives a reasonable answer to that and its not just focusing on this sole label but that we have into everything. If their identity is what cause the shooting but look into the motivation of the killing more. Next, we interview is Jeff Sessions. The interview starts on the gun control bills being presented on Monday. And his support on one of the bills where a selective list where the people on that list would have a 72 wait in buying a gun. They then talk about Trump's proposal on temporally banning immigration in areas with terrorism history and what are his thoughts on it. He agrees that immigration needs to slow down. When Dana asked what countries in specific, it took him a couple a seconds to get a hold of the question and answered with middle eastern countries. Dana asked him about how some of the GOP members are "disgusted" "offensive" with speech and he respond that those people should listen to the whole speech. The topic of the delegates trying to block Trump and likeability of it. And end on the note if the senator would be willing to Trump's V.P. pick. The final interview is with Senator Ron Johnson. We start off if he supports the idea that delegates don't need to be bound and vote freely. The senator answers with he doesn't really know what about that. And it seem more like he was promoting himself and his election in Wisconsin. Next on, is Trump hurting the GOP candidates like himself and he says that he doesn't know what's going on the polls. And she brings up a statement he made a month earlier that he would endorse Trump but still hasn't. And he says that he has not endorse him but is supporting him. And Dana ask what's the difference. They go on and talk about if the FBI mishandle the Orlando shooting case, a letter he wrote to Facebook incorporating in the Orlando case and giving information to the authorities. And lastly, we talk with the pundits. They start talking about if people will start supporting Trump, the delegates wanting change and working on blocking Trump. They discuss the about the unfavorable numbers that both candidates have hit in the polls. And talk about Jill Warren's attacks on Trump and stepping them up.

          Overall, a week after the attack on Orlando, we have learned valuable notes from the investigation. Mostly the shows seem to focus more on the attack and how the FBI is handling that rather than politics. But the hosts asked about similar topics and the guests on the shows gave reasonable answers and reactions.

  1. What about issues like gun control, and the federal no fly list. These are things that you can critique as well as the guests comments concerning them. I need to see less of an overview of the shows and more of an analysis.
