Societies where people were considered wretched if they werent in the right class. And their time. Starting today, a new law in new york state allows child sexual Abuse Victims to finally file civil lawsuits, no matter how long ago they were abused. What kind of difference will it make in your life . Nobody will ever say liar after my name. And that it never happened. Theyll never say liar again. And good day, everyone, im Andrea Mitchell in washington where there could be signs, maybe, of progress in the push for gun reform legislation. A Senior Administration official telling nbc news President Trump has been talking to a handful of key lawmakers from both parties, including Democratic Senators murphy, manchin and pat toomey. The focus what could have a chase of getting through congress, especially the Republican Senate where gun Safety Measures have been blocked for years. Joining me now, Kristen Welker in new jersey and senior White House Reporter shannon pettipiece. There have been reports at the staff level that perhaps some of his Domestic Violence advisors are going to see him in bedminister . Reporter so heres what we know at this hour. These are the first substantive talks that were aware of between the white house and the hill about potential Bipartisan Legislation on gun safety laws. So we do know that President Trump has been in contact with senators murphy, toomey and manch manchin. Why is that significant . Chris murphy has been a leading advocate when it comes to stiffer gun laws, expanding background checks. M manchin and toomey are the two senators that proposed that legislation to expand background checks in the wake of the sandy hook massacre. That was the last time that congress came close to considering expanded background checks. But, andrea, we do know these conversations are also happening at the staff levels as well. Their teams, white house officials, working on this, trying to hammer out something that they can bring to the president and propose to him. Now, in terms of a briefing here at bedminister, im told at this point in time there is nothing imminent. They want to let the process play out. But this underscores that, again, these are substantive talks that are going on. But, of course, the skepticism here, andrea, one, has to do with the timing. We know congress isnt coming back until september. Thats a fair amount of time. Concerns about whether they can keep up the momentum. Of course, President Trump has expressed support for background checks in the past, particularly after the massacre at the parkland high school. And that wound up going nowhere. He ultimately gave in to pressure from his base to the nra. Is this time different . I asked him that directly, andrea. He said this time is different. Why . He said because of time and then he pointed to the fact that the composition of congress is different. Democrats now control the house. So could this be the moment that something actually happens . Well have to see. We do know these substantive talks are taking place. Nancy pelosi, the speaker, was just talking moments ago in illinois about guns. Lets play some of that. Weve been waiting since february. Now public sentiment must weigh in to save lives, to pass our bill and look at high capacity magazines that should be eliminated as well. And shannon, youve been doing a lot of reporting on who in the about how sowhite house for some change in this. I got off the phone with a senior white house official, they have a team thats looking at things in four buckets. Background checks, theyre looking at the Toomey Manchin bill from 2013 that failed to pass after the sandy hook massacre. They think that has bipartisan support and it could be a framework for another background bill they could introduce. On the red flag a lots, theyre not necessarily expecting to get some sort of federal legislation on red flag laws but potentially something that could be a framework for states to use. Encouraging states to pass their own red flag law and showing the states how to do it. Theyre interested in the issue of the death penalty. Thats a conversation that the white house has been having, particularly with senator graham who has the judiciary committee. And then they still havent forgotten about the idea of violence in media and video games and mental health. They dont have any real specific legislation on that front, but theyre trying to at least brain storm some ideas with different senators. The real nuanced staff level talks started this week chb. Last week the president and the president s daughter were both involved. A couple points there were going to be talking to Fred Gutenberg in just a moment. A question of what nancy pelosi was talking about was the house passed bill from february, february 28th. Thats tougher, i believe, than the Toomey Manchin bill. The House Democrats are not going to be satisfied, nor some of the Senate Democrats nor the 2020 candidates are going to be happy with reviving Toomey Manchin. I dont think it would pass the test. To do red flag laws state by state would be counterintuitive given the way that people travel across state lines. Looking at what happened in texas. That wasnt across state lines but people travel distances with their weaponry. Were going to leave it there for you. Today is the first day of school in parkland, florida at Marjorie Stoneman douglas high school. 18 months after the mass shooting of course. Victims included 14yearold jamie gutenberg. Her father, fred, has turned his grief into action for tougher gun laws. Its good to hear from you. First of all, what is your reaction to what the white house staff is at least discussing . Hey, andrea. Thank you for mentioning that in addition to being the first day today, it is also 18 months since my daughters last day of school. We cant ever forget the victims of the gun violence that wou happened in this country. Listen, any step forward on gun safety is a step forward. Im thankful that responsible reasonable senators who have been active in this i heard senator murphy was part of this discussion. I have hope. The white house wants to be vauv involved, i have hope. Anybody who wants to do something to stop this epidemic ill stand with. Im just going to take you back about a year ago. I was in ohio at the request of governor kasich. I testified there about red flag and background checks and other things. And i said at the end of my testimony dont be afraid to act. Your failure to act could lead to ohio being the next place for a mass shooting. I never expected that it would be now the last one that were talking about. To everyone in washington, d. C. , do not be afraid to act. The time is now. I want to ask you about the nra. The nra, Wayne Lapierre despite being the target of investigations, alleged corruption, all kinds of problems in the nra, yet he can get through to the president and the president can change his mind. I hope this time is different. Listen, my daughter and other victims of gun violence, they were a cost of doing business for the nra. Everyone now sees the way the nra manages its books and its money. They were nothing more than a massive fund raising operation designed to sell more guns. I hope the president this time tells wayne no. This is the time to get this done. If we fail, everybody who fails as a result who doesnt vote positively for some form of gun safety legislation should be fired from their current job. Too Many Americans are dying. Wayne lapierre needs to walk away. He needs to go away. The nra needs to be ignored. And let me ask you about walmart. Youve made public pleas for walmart to stop selling guns. Other chains have stopped selling gains. Walmart was victimized in el paso and also we have what happened in missouri where thankfully this was averted. What will it take for walmart to stop selling guns . One of my american heroes right now is dicks ceo. Because they made that tough decision. Walmart must take that stand as well. After parkland, walmart did take a stand. They actually stopped selling assault rifles. They moved right after dicks did it. But they need to go further. We just had a mass shooting inside of a walmart and following that two were averted. What is known as a soft target, walmart must lead. They must stop selling weapons. They must be part of this change. So i would ask every american go to walmartmustact. Org. Print out a letter thats available there. Walk into a walmart, hand deliver it to the store manager. Take a photo of yourself doing it and post it. We have the opportunity right now to truly change the culture to truly change the way weapons are retailed. We cant fail. Thank you so much as always. Were thinking about you and about jamie. The other victims and what youre doing actively in parkland and across the country. Thank you andrea. And we have breaking news on wall street. The dow taking a nosedive today on rampant recession fears sparked by a key Economic Indicator for investors. Sue herrera, a great friend of all of ours joins me now. Thanks for taking time out. Tell us, its almost 700 points, whats going on . Its always great to see you. Its an ugly day on walmart. Heres basically whats happening, were at or near our lows of the trading session. Were off almost 700 points. That key indicator that you mentioned, it basically is called the yield curve, which sounds complicated, but its not. It basically means that shortterm bonds are yielding more than longterm bonds. Thats kind of upside down. Thats not the way it should be. And sometimes that indicator says that theres a recession coming. But behind all of that is the increasing acrimony between the u. S. And china and the trade war that the president said was going to be short but is now almost a year and a half in. And the market is extremely worried that there will be no resolution to that trade war. And that is the underlying cause of what youre seeing this week on wall street. All the volatility. We were up triple digits yesterday. Were down triple digits today. So investors that have a longterm time horizon should sit back, expect more volatility. This is an ugly day today. Andrea, back to you. Sue, of course the president online blaming the fed when actually its his trade war that has a lot to do with the volatility. Thank you very much. Good tuesday you. Coming up, shutting the door. A top trump Administration Official offers a troubling explanation for rewriting the poem on the statue of liberty. Stay with us, youre watching Andrea Mitchell reports on msnbc. , youre watching Andrea Mitchell reports on msnbc. At comcast, we didnt build the nations largest gigspeed network just to make businesses run faster. We built it to help them go beyond. Because beyond risk. Welcome to the neighborhood, guys. There is reward. Beyond work and life. Who else could he be . There is the moment. Beyond technology. There is human ingenuity. Every day, comcast business is helping businesses go beyond the expected, to do the extraordinary. Take your business beyond. Would you also agree that emma lazarus words etched on the statue of liberty, give me your tired your poor are part of the american ethos . They certainly are r. Give me your tired and poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge. Ken cuccinelli is coming under renewed fire after rewriting emma lazarusp poemon the statue of liberty. Last night, he was not backing down. He was doubling down. Even making it more obvious that this new rule is targeting hispanics. That poem was referring back to people coming from europe where they had class based societies where people were considered wretched if they werent in the right class. Really . Lets get the inside scoop from our White House Correspondent for the pbs news hour. Jonathan lemire, White House Reporter for the Associated Press and msnbc political an list and back with us, Kristen Welker. Ken cuccinellis rewrite of emma lazarus and saying in europe the huddled masses yearning to breathe free were from a class based society, which makes it okay to let them in. I mean, im trying to get my head around all this. Let me get your take. This is really the administration making very clear who they want to be immigrants in this country. The president has said he doesnt want people from shole countries coming here two years ago Steven Miller when he was asked about the poem on the statue of liberty used a popular talking point, which was the poem was added after the statue was built. Hes making it very clear he does not want to have people using these programs that are really bridges to the American Dream coming to the United States. I know so many immigrants who have told me personally over the last couple days that they used food stamps or Housing Assistance on their way to getting professional degrees. Now theyre productive citizens who own homes, who have children who are going to college here. I think its in some ways against the american values. There are a lot of people who are deeply defended about what he is saying. Kristen welker, does the white house have any is there any pause about this . Because we know that the president really doubled down on the mississippi raids last week when he said in answer to you it was a deterrent factor. This is making it so clear its antihispanic. Reporter i reached out to a number of officials and no response. Which tells me theyre trying to determine exactly how to respond to this. Theres no doubt its prompting a sharp backlash among the president s critics. It underscores something that the administration has said as a matter of Public Policy for quite some time which is they want a more merit based system. It does underscore those private comments that President Trump made that he wants fewer immigrants from quote unquote, shole countries. So the question is politically speaking, what is the impact here . The president heading into a Reelection Campaign he knows all of this energizes his base. I think thats why youre seeing him double down, telling me those mississippi raids were a deterrent. The acting dhs secretary doubling down, digging in as well during that interview with chuck todd. Although he did acknowledge the timing of those raids were unfortunate. So this is something that energizes the president s base. How does it play, for example, in the suburbs . We know that the Republican Party is worried about their prospects in the suburbs as they head into 2020. Indeed. I wanted, jonathan, to ask you about something youve been writing about which is the conspiracy theorist in chief. Something i wrote about for nightly news the other day after what happened, you know, on the epstein case. Let me play President Trump yesterday again talking defending what he had said about the clintons and epstein and what hed retweeted. Do you really think the clintons are involved in Jeffrey Epstein s death . When they checked the plane logs, bill clinton, who is a very good friend of epstein, he was on the plane about 27 or 28 times. So why did he say four times . And then the question you have to ask is did bill clinton go to the island . So hes going on and on again with conspiracy theories. But this is a pattern, jonathan that you be seen youve been covering this white house so closely. This is hardly new for this president. It began well before he was president. Lets remember that his political rise really started when he embraced the Conspiracy Theory, the racist Conspiracy Theory of birtherism claiming that president obama was not born in the United States and would have been ineligible for office. We saw it during the campaign when he embraced rather strange conspiracy theories about ted cruzs father being involved in the assassination of president kennedy. Hes said before he believes that Global Warming is a hoax. That wind farms even might cause cancer. Weve seen him do time and time again when he embraces something from the conservative fringe. He then doesnt own it, doesnt make himself responsible for it. He dismisses it as it was a retweet. Not at all paying attention to the weight his office carries for any of his words. Yes, we have grown used to the president saying things that are not true. But still his words matter. His latest example with Jeffrey Epstein floats the idea that bill clinton and Hillary Clinton may have been involved in his death. I wanted jonathan to play something for all of us that he said last night in pennsylvania. There was a lot to choose from. His love of cranes, claiming credit for the factory he was in. Even though that was a project begun in 2012 under president obama in the first term of president obama. But this is the president complaining about the cost to his pocketbook of being president. This thing is costing me a fortune being president. Its costing me 3 billion to the 5 billion i dont care. If youre wealthy, it doesnt matter. I just want to do a great job. Do you want to fact check that in semi real time, jonathan . Sure. First of all, the word we have here is emaollulments. We know that the trump hotel in washington in particular has become a favorite destination for foreign dignitaries. The president is clearly making money since taking office. Thanks to all of you. And. Coming up, reports that one president ial campaign might drop out of the race. What might he do next . Stay with us, mark murray joins us next on Andrea Mitchell reports on msnbc.

One democratic hopeful is weighing getting out. The New York Times reporting former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper is in talks to ends his president ial bid, instead setting his sights on a senate run for the nomination to challenge republican cory gardner. Hickenlooper is a popular two term governor. Hes been stuck at the bottom of the polls of the president ial race. It could give democrats a strong contender in their hopes for taking back that senate seat. Joining me now is Charlie Sikes and mark murray, nbc news senior political reporter. The president ial race is a hard race. Right. So nbc news has not been able to confirm that hes thinking about exiting the president ial race and joining the senate contest. The handwriting is also on the wall. Were looking at people who even have a chance to be able to make that next debate in september. Hickenlooper is not in the conversation. The question becomes if hes not going to be in the president ial race, does he end up going for the senate. Now a lot of former governors often dont like the fact of having to go for the senate. Governors get to run things, senators are seeing a lot of the gridlock in washington. Its not as attractive as it talk to joe manchin. Theyre really happy with their field in colorado. We have as many as 12 candidates who are running for the right to take on cory gardner. If hickenlooper decided to run for the senate hed have higher name id. He might be able to clear some of those people. Right now i think democrats are sitting in a position where colorado is a state they feel like a generic democratic candidate can beat corey gardner. Would hickenlooper be a good senator . He was a phenomenal governor. Phenomenal governor. He was a phenomenal mayor. I dont see any reason why he wouldnt be a phenomenal senator. Hes got to make his own decisions. So Charlie Sikes, if hickenlooper does get out, it narrows the field somewhat. But theres still a big challenge with such a large field. Right now, nine have qualified. Tom steyer might because hes spending 12 million so far in early states. 10 million on tv media. Yeah, well at this point, if youre not on that stage, your campaign is going nowhere. Theres a lot of no hopers in this race. I think youll see the winnowing very rapidly. The speculation about hickenlooper makes a lot of sense. You know, hes a much stronger candidate for senate in colorado, obviously, than he is for president of the United States. Whats interesting is youre beginning to see more buzz about beto orourke. The Houston Chronicle ran the article saying you want to come home. If you want to flip texas, you have a better shot here running in texas against john cornen than you did running for president. He i dont think is more of a prospect, i think hes got more momentum than hickenlooper did. I think youll see a lot of speculation about both of these individuals because the focus needs to be on the senate as well as the president ial campaign in 2020. Mark, what about tom steyer . Steve bullock was here with us yesterday complaining as you well know that he had made a big issue about money in politics, yet hes pouring millions of dollars to try to qualify for this debate. Its a lot of that money, its also the big email lists hes had for his impeachment campaigns. In a lot of ways it was under the radar, but he was cultivating this late entry to be able to get in and make a splash to be able to qualify for the debate. Now im not sure on tom steyer his longevity of hitting the threshold to get into a debate or two. This has been instructive in a lesson to me for all the focus of people how campaign in iowa and New Hampshire that yes, you can end up dropping 10 million on tv ads and be able to get 130,000 donations being a candidate in one month that money does matter more than debate performances in the campaigning. So true. Mark murray. Charlie sikes, thanks to both of you. The epstein investigation, the first lawsuit since Jeffrey Epsteins death was filed by one of his accusers. Stay with us, youre watching Andrea Mitchell reports on msnbc. Us, youre watching Andrea Mitchell reports on msnbc. Lets see, aleve is proven better on pain than tylenol extra strength.

After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported.

But we wont get there without you. Join the fight with the Alzheimers Association. We have new developments in the investigation into the prison death of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Two Law EnforcementOfficials Say that investigators are now looking into whether Prison Guards monitoring epsteins unit at the time of his death were asleep, literally asleep on the job. The Justice Department has ordered a staff shakeup at the detention center, placing two Prison Guards on leave. This as one of epsteins accusers takes legal action against one of the financiers high profile associates. In an exclusive interview last month, she alleged she was raped by epstein when she was 15 years old. What would justice look like to you . Justice for me would be for him really to spend the rest of his life in prison and make sure that people like this, you know, are not allowed to harm young kids. Lets get more about all of this from nbcs Stephanie Gosk in new york and nbc news justice correspondent Pete Williams here. Stephanie, tell us about this lawsuit and the implications of it filed today. Reporter many people wondered what recourse the accusers were going to have following epsteins death. This lawsuit is an example of that recourse. Essentially what shes done, along with her attorneys is accuse the apparatus around what prosecutors have called the sex trafficking ring of doing the harm. Also going after epsteins estate. So its two pronged. Specifically named in this lawsuit is the woman who is the associate of Jeffrey Epstein, link linked with him romantically. Friends at least for decades. Shes accused of basically being an enabler for this entire sex trafficking ring. Its important to point out theres no claim that the victim met maxwell, but rather that maxwell ran the operation. Theres three other unnamed employees who are also included in this lawsuit. Theyre described as a secretary, a maid and a recruiter. The victim says she was approached by this unnamed recruiter when she was 14 years old at her high school on the upper east side. So this would be a way to get at some of the estimated 560 million that Jeffrey Epstein is worth, andrea. Wow. And pete, as well, the mcc, the jail, under investigation by the Justice Department. What are you learning . Three investigations going on now, andrea. The fbi, the Justice Departments Inspector General and today another team arrived from the bureau of prisons itself. The after action team that comes in whenever there is what they call a significant event, Something Like this. They have three investigations going. The warden was reassigned by the attorney general to a regional office. Then the bureau of prisons put two guards on administrative leave. Now they havent told us explicitly, but we assume its the two guards who were supposed to be keeping an eye on Jeffrey Epstein. Theyre investigating whether, in fact, they were asleep at the time they should have been checking on him. The logs were told apparently though they did check on him. So if they incorrectly filled out the logs or falsified the logs thats a potential federal crime. One of the problems with this investigation were told is that many of the people involved are not talking. Theyre not answering the questions from the ig or the fbi. Theyve got lawyers. Unions are involved. Its slowing the investigation down. But what were told is as they dig deeper and deeper into this, theyre finding more and more disturbing things. We know some of them. They werent checked on often. There was supposed to be a cell mate and there wasnt. I know you went to the island just a week or two ago. There was a raid yesterday. What is the likelihood there was anything left to get out of his luxurious home after all this team has expired . Really good question. Were looking at drone footage right now of fbi agents searching his home, pulling out computers and things they found. It has been a long time since his arrest certainly if people had wanted to move things from that home, they could have. You have to wonder, too, this raid coming so soon after you had the attorney general william barr say these coconspirators should not rest easy. You wonder if perhaps this is part of sending that message that they shouldnt rest easy. But we just dont know. Weve heard no details of what theyve taken out of there. Stephanie gosk and Pete Williams. Weve been working so hard on this investigation from all angles. Thank you both so much. Coming up, russian nukes.

From the day youre born we never stop taking care of you. In russia, officials have called off their plan to temporarily evacuate villagers near the site of a nuclear accident. The explosion killed seven people and released radiation but theres a lot of unanswered questions. Russian authorities have released incomplete statements, playing down the severity of the accident according to critics and was the explosion the result of a failed test of a Nuclear PoweredCruise Missile touted by Vladmir Putin . Joining me now with answers is jeffrey lewis, director of the east asia nonproliferation institute. And ben rhodes, former Deputy National security advisor to president obama. Jeffrey, first to you, lets talk about the nukes and what could have been going on there. Is this the after effect of an accident of that mysterious weapon theyve been testing . Yes, i think that something went seriously wrong with a Nuclear PoweredCruise Missile. This would be a missile thats powered by a Small Nuclear reactor. So its very unclear what happened. As you noted the russians have given conflicting answers and they dont want to tell us the Precise Technology that theyre developing. But, you know, this is a small accident involving a Nuclear Reactor that has killed five nuclear scientists. What is the fallout, literally and figuratively, jeffrey . Yes, well, there is some fallout it seems. There was an Early Detection of radiation spikes. The scientists were killed. We dont really know the full scope of the problem because we dont know what exactly they were doing and we dont know exactly what went wrong. They admitted there was a fire and an explosion. There should be some radioactive contamination wherever that happened whether it happened on land or they say it happened on an off shore platform. Its a local hazard, but the bigger fallout here is the idea that the u. S. And russia are slipping into this arms race where were doing things like building Nuclear PoweredCruise Missiles. Its crazy. Speaking to that, ben rhodes, Wendy Sherman was saying one of your former colleagues that that was something abandoned by the u. S. Because it is crazy. Yeah, i mean, its risky to introduce new Nuclear Powered weapons, of course. Whats also crazy is this is happening at a time when the Trump Administration is dismantling the treaties and agreements that have forced the basis of arms control between the u. S. And russia and globally. The more you do that, the more youre opening the door to the use of these dangerous new technologies. I think, frankly, andrea, it shows that the russian government which cant be trusted is not a really credible voice when theres an accident. As was the case with chernobyl in the 80s, the russian people have a government that lies all the tile. They cant be trusted to get good information. That too is worrying. Weve seen protests in russia. Theres largely millenial drive of people yearning for better information, for more freedom of expression. And Vladmir Putin has been under challenge recently. Ben, i also wanted to ask you just as a follow up for the this whole issue of the imf treaty which has been abandoned, the 1987 era treaty that was signed by reagan and gorbachev. There was a hint that john bolton does not think a new start can actually be renewed. New start is coming up for renewal. Its an agreement that was cut by up to a third the deployed Nuclear Weapons of russia and the United States. Again, its part of the agenda that bolton has to systematically take apart the arms control regime. All that is is giving to Vladimir Putin to develop thuy weap new weapons and get rid of modifications and limits. I would like to see democrats running for president committing to try to move a new start forward. Your point of millennials. Under the hood in russia, he can look and empower in the west. There is a recreent survey that shows 44 of younger russians would like to lead the country. We saw the protest in moscow. We should be keeping our eye on the fact that really there may be a kind of building resentment of putins iron fist in that country. Things may not have looked as good in russia for putin than washington. Which is worrying because thats when he could be more aggressive externally to build up the response back home. Jeffery, finally do you worry of a new arms race given the past administration . I absolutely worry about it. The Bush Administration withdrew limited the United States of development of Missile Defense and what we have seen since then has been a concerted efforts by people like john bolton. We are living in the era where russia is investing heavily if the new start treaty that ben mentions that were so important were to expire, it would be the first time there would be no limits on either of our nuclear forces. If we dont make different choices. Thats whats going to happen thank you both very much.

It was about 680 just a few minutes ago and now it is 710. You can see a bumpy day. A pivotal day for survivors of sexual abuse in new york city today. No matter how long ago the alleged act happened. I was molested by father john paddock 2001 and 2002 at st. Joseph. That was 16, 17 years old. It was a very dark time of my life. This is at light. Today is the day that i reclaim the trust that was lost when i was younger. Today is the day that i reclaim the love that was lost. I continuously hope and pray no priest ever is able to abuse a child within the arch diocese of new york. Anne thompson is joining me now. This is a major change and it goes beyond the Catholic Church. You interviewed two sisters. Tell me about that interview, we can show more of it. I have to tell you andrea, talking to Suzanne Robertson and june maloney who were sisters at catholics upstate new york. They endured sexual abuse and emotional and mental. The sexual abuse came when the two sisters hit puberty and terrible things were done to them. June and suzanne say they were both nuns and a female staffer put their hands inside of them. A Maintenance Man raped her. These are stories that are so horrific but today by filing the lawsuit, they get to say this happened to me and i am telling the truth and thats what they are hoping the courts will say back to them. Yes, you are telling the truth because for years they have been threatening if they told what happened to them that they were called liars and that god did not love them. All kinds of psychological game words were playing with them. That ends today. At least thats what survivors were hoping. I want to play a little bit of your interview with them. It was so compel ling and dramatic. What did they do to you . She assaulted me. She put her hands up me. She took the wash cloth and poured the rest and brought it up between my legs and shove it up. How often do you think of what happened to isnt it true. Everyday. I try not to think about it. I see them as two little girls and seeing them as older women and these were two orphans. Their mother had a nervous break down, she was sent away. Their father sent them to this orphanag orphanage. These two women were abused h h horribly. What was striking to me, they held hands throughout the entire interview. They complete each others sentences and you could really feel the bond between these two women. Wow. Anne, thank you for bringing us their stories. As always, you make it so real and so compelling. Thank you very much. Thank you, andrea.
