reporter: the timing of this visit is very significant, it comes after the biden administration last week pledged to start formal trade talks between the u.s. and taiwan, it comes after u.s. president joe biden signed the chips act to boost american competitiveness. and taiwan plays a big role in that temperature psmc has already pledged to spend $12 billion in a new chip fab in the u.s. state of arizona and another company called media tech has already pledged to open a chip design center in the u.s. state of indiana. back to you. nice to see you, kristie lu stout. thank you. singapore is set to repeal a c law that criminalizes gay sex. most people accept that person s sexual orientation and behavior is a private and personal matter. and that sex between men should not an crimn a criminal against. but also the legal definition of
the next week or two. cornyn is not going to go ahead with his plan with the nra. he is the one who democrats say we want to talk to him. cornyn potentially has the ability, the bar is low, to bring together some combination of background check and red flag. and i think what s different about this moment, i think there is a difference. it happened in texas. in florida, where rick scott is the head of the senatorial committee, there is a red flag law and he is open to a federal red flag law. and they also raised the age in florida after parkland to 21. it wasn t that long ago, remember, that donald trump actually had those parkland families to the white house and almost cut a deal, almost cut a deal, and then he invited the nra in next day, remember that? and that deal came off the table. thanks to all. sunken cars and both re-emerging as one of the key reservoirs
half-mast? they re still at half-mast from buffalo. and she joins us now. thanks for joining us, governor. let me ask you about the fact that new york state has a red flag law on the books, but it woefully failed to be used to stop the buffalo shooter before his deadly rampage. the school, his family, law enforcement, mental health clinicians, no one escalated their concerns about this young man by going to court, even though there were concerns. he had written about a murder/homicide. there s a report he decapitated the family cat. what needs to change? you have that law it s not obviously your fault, but that law could have been used yet it wasn t. jake, you re absolutely right. we re watching the stories of parents who are in disbelief, they re in shock. and his parents were just so stunned along with them that
failures is the inability of congress to give us national laws that we can use so other states are not thwarting our hard efforts in the state of new york to protect new yorkers. so there was a failure on in levels, jake. it s not acceptable. new york state has a minimum age of 21 to have a hand gun. in fact, i think that s a national regulation. you want to raise the age of any purchase of any gun to 21. do you think you can pass that kind of law for long guns, for ar-15s? and do you think it will survive court challenges? right now, we re looking at the ar-15, the same weapon that was purchased by an 18-year-old in new york and in texas. so when you think about the fact that an 18-year-old can go out on their birthday and buy an assault weapon that should be used on battlefields, and they can t even buy a beer at the corner bar, something is wrong with our system.
these are things they ve been talking about, and suddenly, 19 babies as the senator was saying, are urd maniered. and it feels different as joe manchin says. it should have felt different after parkland and newtown. what s different of the radicalization of the republican party on the gun issue. clinton signed the brady bill with ronald reagan s support and 54 house republicans voted for it, 17 senate republicans voted for it. the parade brady bill was a bac law and they also banned some forms of assault weapons. banned high capacity magazines. when they were in law for ten years, mass shootings went down 37%. when they were allowed to expire in the bush administration, they went up 183%, mass shootings. so we know that these laws can
