**PRESS CONFERENCE WITH SENATORS BURR AND WARNER ON THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION

4:05PM ET - Sara Carter, of Circa.com and Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, and counsel to the President, are here to discuss and debunk the press conference held today by Senators Mark Warner of Virginia and Richard Burr of North Carolina, both of the Senate Intelligence Committee. 

In a rare press conference, Senators Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Mark Warner, D-Va., said the committee’s months-long investigation into possible collusion between President Donald Trump’s campaign and the Kremlin continues. While the senators confirmed Russian interference, they stopped short of saying Moscow acted specifically to ensure Trump would win the White House.

“The issue of collusion is still open. We continue to investigate both intelligence and witnesses,” Burr said. “And we’re not in a position to come to any type of finding.”

Burr characterized the 2016 attempts by Moscow as a “very expansive network of Russian interference.” He warned that the media has only gotten “glimpses” into their investigation.

4:35PM ET - Pat Buchanan, is a political commentator, author and syndicated columnist. He was a senior adviser to presidents Nixon, Ford and Reagan. Pat has seen many wars, foreign and domestic, the power of civil unrest and the overwhelming dwindling of civil discourse. But this atrocity against humanity by a madman this past Monday is something we have never seen before. From his article in Townhall:

"An act of pure evil," said President Trump of the atrocity in Las Vegas, invoking our ancient faith: "Scripture teaches us the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." 

"Our unity cannot be shattered by evil. Our bonds cannot be broken by violence," Trump went on in his most presidential moment, "and though we feel such great anger at the senseless murder of our fellow citizens, it is love that defines us today and always will. Forever."

5:05PM ET - John Lott, President of the Crime Prevention Research Center, who also wrote the book More Guns Less Crime, will address the misunderstandings of guns and gun misuse and abuse, Pat Gesualdo, Founder and CEO of the D.A.D., will address the mental health aspect of mass shootings and crime, and Nicholas Irving, a former US Army Ranger, special ops sniper and author of The Reaper, can speak to the bump stock and weapons modifications, supposedly used by Steven Paddock when he attacked the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Just yesterday an op-ed in the Washington post was released, titled “I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise” - from that article:

Before I started researching gun deaths, gun-control policy used to frustrate me. I wished the National Rifle Association would stop blocking common-sense gun-control reforms such as banning assault weapons, restricting silencers, shrinking magazine sizes and all the other measures that could make guns less deadly.

Then, my colleagues and I at FiveThirtyEight spent three months analyzing all 33,000 lives ended by guns each year in the United States, and I wound up frustrated in a whole new way. We looked at what interventions might have saved those people, and the case for the policies I’d lobbied for crumbled when I examined the evidence. The best ideas left standing were narrowly tailored interventions to protect subtypes of potential victims, not broad attempts to limit the lethality of guns.
