shanna? trying to be strong for everyone right now. it s hard. it s hard. steve, grayson and jamie were part of this big duck hunting trip. they go with a larger group. on friday evening, there were weather warnings on their phones alerting them of tornadoes. where were they at the time? can you take me through what happened, what you know, sandy? so they were in tiptonville, tennessee, and they had been hunting all day. they got up that morning, and they just had the best time hunting. it was just it was absolutely wonderful. they were laughing. they had taken their sons. my brother had taken his son. my brother-in-law, jamie, was a last-minute fill-in. he had never went duck hunting before. he was a last-minute fill-in, and he just had the time of his life. they went to the restaurant in the facility, and there was a santa claus there, and he asked
trafficking ring. how are they defending her? what she s saying is they lured them with promises of money and gifts, sometimes money for education, promises that their dreams might be met, and then ended up duping them into a situation where they were abused by jeffrey epstein, and at times, ghislaine maxwell himself. she said, you know what, if jeffrey epstein had not taken his life, ghislaine maxwell would never be standing trial. we don t know if that s the case. they said she s only there as a fill-in for jeffrey epstein. and she s in solitary confinement? she s in solitary confinement. she s been in prison for over a year. they re keeping her separate so it s solitary, right? the conditions have not been great. her lawyers have repeatedly
the course of the last several weeks, feeling negotiations have been dragging on, feeling like the president should do more to put his foot down, to set a hard line, to start the process moving forward. i think the president, as jen it is was ashrelluding to, is goinf his experience. as we see this ramp up, time is definitely of the essence and i think democrats on both sides of pennsylvania avenue feel like that window is closing and closing fast, guys. all right, phil mattingly, lauren fox, thank you so much. with me now, senator kirsten gillibrand, senator of new york. let s start here with climate, which is the standoff of the day. we ve heard from senator manchin that he does not support a carbon tax, which is supposed to be the fill-in for the clean energy program which he does not support. can you achieve the president s goals and satisfy the members whobt substantive climate legislation without either of
