Remember media matters the group using taxpayer money today -- try to take down fact Fox News well the lefty group.
Is also using your money to push gun control well now it turns out the guy behind the organization David Brock right there doesn't practice what -- -- and -- -- right now with details are brand new investigation.
The founder of of the daily caller and Fox News contributor.
Tucker Carlson good morning you Tucker.
Thanks Steve.
Okay we just showed David Brock tell us about his one time assistant and what he was -- Well his assistant was carrying a nine millimeter.
Handgun -- block with a staggered seventeen round magazine.
In order to protect David Brock he also purchase a -- and it looks like these two guns are purchased in cash probably with money from media matters.
It we also ascertained that -- assistant Kerry this firearm.
In the District of Columbia both the magazine and the -- itself for illegal both felonies by the way.
And probably to a meeting of -- called Democracy Alliance which is a left wing coalition group.
In California were also would have been -- legal.
In the company of luminaries like senator Dianne Feinstein now pushing gun control George Soros a major funder of media matters.
And the whole panoply of left wing pro gun control -- leaders who where they -- would David -- armed bodyguard illegally armed.
Amaze me in DC it's almost impossible to get a concealed permit.
Obviously the -- -- have it how many felonies are we looking at and if they decide to go after this guy.
What kind of time would he be looking at.
Big time I mean -- well up up a felony by definition is it is suggests over a year in prison and -- and there are a number involved again.
It's illegal to have any kind of high capacity magazine district even if there are no rounds and it just the magazine that self possession is illegal.
It's also legal of course to carry an unregistered firearm it's basically impossible.
To get one registered in the district we have some of the strictest gun control in the country here.
And that also goes for California keep in mind that David Brock is a history of mental illness.
This at a time when obviously a lot of attention is being paid to.
People with histories of mental illness with weapons -- we've seen the obvious danger of that but the irony here is almost overwhelming here's a group that has been paid.
By Soros and others to push gun control on the country and and here they are using an illegal unregistered firearm and -- it it is hypocrisy and indeed in your piece -- the Daley call you also talk about how there have been a number of donors who give money specifically to.
Media matters to push gun control in -- -- when this comes out that's really embarrassing.
But what about of the legal exposure for mr.
Brock he's got to be in trouble to right.
What you would think I mean keep in mind that you know it is almost for example that the -- hearings on Capitol Hill.
I'm in a number of them congressman have want to show weapons like here's one of the guns we ought to ban it's almost impossible to get those guns.
On to Capitol Hill for the purposes of the congressional -- -- that's how strict gun control is in the district if you are driving through.
The District of Columbia which of course of -- Maryland Virginia and your pulled over -- speeding running a red light and you have begun in your partners driving through the city.
Straight to jail and this is this is not -- this has happened quite a bit but something's taken extremely seriously here of course it hasn't.
Affected our prime rate which is very high but it's nonetheless the law.
Real quick exit question an investigation criminal investigation -- investigation into the -- Well we couldn't get in a straight answer from the DC police on that question.
Though.
It is our understanding that yes they are taking a look at this it's really beyond dispute that this happened when he had emails from within media matters saying yes.
This gun was their responsibility they were and charges gun and they knew it was illegal so I would expect and that's.
I'm Tucker thank you very much for drugs plus they can -- -- Steve.
