By Kyle Drennen, July 22, 2015 NewsBusted

During a live press conference in the 12:00 p.m. ET hour on Wednesday about the Chattanooga shooting, CNN reporter Aaron Cooper asked FBI Special Agent in Charge Ed Reinhold: “There's been reports that there were some personal or privately owned weapons used in responding to the shooter....Did anybody hit anyone else? Was there any friendly fire incident?”

Reinhold explained that beyond the weapons used by shooter Mohammad Abdulazeez, “Two additional weapons were recovered at the scene. Those weapons belonged to service members and they were – at least one of the weapons was discharged at the subject.” Cooper pressed: “Were those officers authorized to have those weapons?” Reinhold replied: “As far as any authorization of weapons, it's not relevant to our current investigation.”

Obama Rips Question On Hostages In Iran

By YouTube/White House, July 15, 2015 The Daily Beast

CBS News's Major Garrett asked President Obama at a press conference Wednesday if he was "content" with four Americans held in Iranian jails while his administration celebrated the nuclear deal. "Can you tell the country, sir, why you are content with all the fanfare around this deal to leave the conscious of this nation, the strength of this nation unaccounted for in relation to these four Americans?" Garrett asked. "That's nonsense and you should know better," Obama bit back. "Nobody's 'content' and our diplomats and our teams are working diligently to try to get them out." Garrett later brushed off the scolding on CBS's news streaming network, saying, "Clearly, it struck a nerve. That was my intention...Was it provocative? Yes. Was it intended to be as such? Absolutely." The Daily Beast's Shane Harris reported yesterday that the Americans came up during negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. "We believe very strongly that this is an opportunity for Iran to let the Americans come home," an administration official said.

Rand Paul Introduces Law Ending Federal Prohibitions on Marijuana

Mar. 10, 2015



“Thank you Senator Booker, and thank you Senator Gillibrand for coming today, and all of you. We, as a society, are changing our opinions on restricting people ‘s choices as far as medical treatments and there are thousands of people in our country, probably tens of thousands of people in our country, who have diseases that are incurable and that would like to palliative treatment.

Many people have been finding relief, but some people are prevented from having that. The laws aren’t uniformed. There are still federal laws that prevent states, even states that have legalized medical marijuana. Little over twenty states have medical marijuana, and yet there’s still federal rules that make it difficult.

I just came back from Colorado and the biggest thing they’re asking me is we want banking to be legal. We are legitimate enterprises now. We want to be able to put our money in a bank. My guess is that even more tax money will be paid if they’re allowed to keep their money in banks and not brown bags.

So I think there’s every reason to try to give more ease to people in the states you want this, more freedom for states and individuals. Doctors who are to prescribe this, it’s very difficult because it’s Schedule I and we would want to take it down to Schedule II so doctors can prescribe this more easily. We don’t want doctors to be punished for simply trying to help people.

I’m glad to be part of this effort. I think that there is great potential for research in this as well. Research has been prevented somewhat by this also. When it’s Schedule I it’s virtually impossible to research.

Is the proof always there? We don’t know because we can’t do the research, but I’m in favor of allowing the research to occur. We know of many instances where people have gotten palliative help from this and I’m glad to be part of this effort, and we’ve done a lot in a lot of effort across the aisle with Senator Booker and Senator Gillibrand.”
