so president biden just released a statement thanking the negotiators and saying, quote, obviously it does not do everything that i think is needed, but it reflects important steps in the right direction and would be the most significant gun legislation to pass in decades. the sooner the legislation is written and comes to his desk, the sooner he can sign it. senators agreed in principle to these measures. first, funding to incentivize states to implement, quote, red flag laws, implementing a 10 state pilot program to mental health on all 50 states, allowing juvenile records to be searched during background checks for those under 21, strengthening the background check system and increasing funding for school security. the outline does not include the renewal of the assault weapons ban or raise the age to purchase a firearm but does boast the support of ten republican senators. you look at them. john cornyn. tom tillis. roy blunt. richard burr. susan collins. lindsey graham, m
almost felt, especially when you consider the disinformation and misinformation campaign that happened immediately afterwards to try to minimize the scale and the severity of what happened. we have been pounded by messages from right-wing disinformation networks that this was not a big deal, that january 6th, even for members of congress, it was just a tourist visit. and so i think especially in the wake of that year of people trying to minimize what had happened, rewatching that footage was, i think, just, it was like bringing everything back from that day again. not just for myself, but i also know for staff that were there that day, for support staff that were working there, for members of congress that were there, and for the entire country, including many veterans that were watching on television wondering how could this be us? and so i think it was an incredibly evocative and
to 21 seeking to buy a long gun. let me just say, there s still a lot of work to do, a lot of way to go but i m encouraged by today s announcement. no question, and i want you to talk about the change in strategy among you and your fellow democrats on this issue. you, apparently led by senator chris murphy of connecticut, decided to basically take what you can get. you need a partner in that strategy and in those negotiations and of course, those are republicans, but to that end, the notion of an assault weapons ban wasn t on the table in these negotiations. even what you just talked about, a federal red flag law wasn t in these negotiations, isn t part of the deal or even raising the age from 18 to 21, i realize that there s, there will be strengthened background checks for young people but simply to raise the age which certainly, i m sure you wanted, wasn t part of this. talk about the change in how you
republicans have no plan, and i think president biden has earned the respect and support of the democrats in congress and across our country. senator, just to be clear, your understanding is that president biden will seek another term? i m not here to make the campaign announcement on his behalf, dana, but yes, that s my understanding. right now, he s planning on running for reelection. senator chris coons of delaware. one of the negotiators on this framework bipartisan gun deal. i really appreciate you coming on. thank you. thank you, dana. and my next guest predicted that president biden s policies would add to inflation, so is the president doing enough now to bring prices back down? that s next. and schedule with, because you can track us and see exactly when we ll be there. woman: i i have a few more minutes. let s go! tech vo: that s service that fits your schedule. gogo to safelite.com. s singers: safelite repai, safelite replace. it s time to get outdoorsy.
i ve heard it directly from someone with firsthand knowledge, so i believe the testimony that the committee has. i want to note this, related to the two conversations we re having. someone smarter than myself pointed out that in 1974 during watergate, inflation was 11%. yet congress still investigated the president and was able to work to address inflation and deal with the economy. american voters, we know the midterms are going to be about gas prices, bringing down inflation, consumer costs, but we also need to get to the bottom of what happened on january 6th. we cannot have a corrupt former president who, by the way, i think is going to announce in the coming months that he s in fact running again. get away with what was more or a coup attempt. we need to walk and chew gum, bipartisanship. i want to go back to what you said. you do feel confident that, you know that mark meadows, you feel strongly that the person telling you is telling you the truth?
