Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd gets the latest from NPR's Jim Zarroli. Also, Faiza Patel of the Brennan Center talks to Here & Now's Tonya Mosley about why the FBI has all the authority it needs to combat domestic terrorism, and why increased surveillance is not a substitute for gun control when it comes to preventing more mass shootings. That and more, in hour one of Here & Now's August 19, 2019 full broadcast.
