them coming up plus, ron desantis bid to make a splash in washington barely made a ripple now with red flags for the campaign piling up the governor heads to south carolina but the poll just as tough by donald trump beating him by 20 points and fox news is on the hook for that $800 million settlement no question, it s a hit to their bottom line, but will it change the way they do business but, we start with this, in a country where guns outnumber people, a sickening pattern is emerging more americans doing what we all do all the time, going to the wrong house, getting lost on the road opening the wrong car door making simple mistakes but now, getting shot over them it happened again early tuesday morning in texas when a houston area teenager traveling with members of her cheer squad thought she was getting into her own car before realizing it was someone else s, she tried to walk away, but it was too late i was trying to apologize to him for accidently getting to the
school shooting. after the international outcry, after the people in the state of tennessee would not take no for an answer, kept the pressure on after the governor s own best friend lost his wife in sthat shooting he called on the red flag laws. i think that is what is going to take on, unfortunately, the voices of people not letting up and for those young people in kansas city who walked out to stand with their friend, their class maim, ralph yarl, those young people, they understood the assignment there are adults who literally have not gotten it together yesterday. these young people, they understand and it s those young folks that are going to make the difference. paul henderson, thank you symone, you re going to stay with us. right now, ron desantis is trying to turn this week around stops in the key state and the family of tyree nichols announcing a lawsuit
forward even a little? look, i think so, chris the reality is, and you all we were speaking about the stand your ground laws a moment ago, the stand your ground laws come from state legislatures across the country, right that is how those laws are put in the books in states from florida to missouri and many states in between. stitt legislatures are the people that introduce and pass those bills. i think if the white house had done as much as they could, particularly on the issue of gun reform, after the shooting at covenant school, i remember see the president on the tarmac, and he was asked particularly about what can he do now and if you read the transcript it sounded kind of flippant, he said, i ve done all i could. i watched the video and he looked exacerbated he has done all that he can do from the executive congress, governors, state legislators have to step up. i look at the governor of tennessee, after the covenant
the community collectively leans in and says it s reasonable for to us have gun laws and restrictions it s reasonable to challenge how stand your ground gets interpreted and have limitations that give us a race-neutral outcome because i think that s important. i do think that we re starting to see more action we saw the biden/harris administration take a stance in march talking about access to guns and gun background checks i think those are really reasonable let s see how much leeway and support they get in doing these time of approaches i will point out, one of the things that seems interesting in particular with the biden/harris administration, with the poe official for the feds to get involved why as kamala harris while she was prosecutor, and she put in charge of hate crimes i know there s a deep facility with the administration on how to proceed with the cases. i d like to see that evaluation be part of prosecutions that take place when we re addressing
disenfranchised communities. i think it would be a great step up and, symone do we still have symone okay, i heard that in my ear let me ask you this, paul. she was talking about the fact that this raises the stakes, right? this raises the stakes, in an administration that has fought really hard, had some progress but by the president s own admission hasn t gotten far enough you ve had two members of congress shot in recent years, didn t change anything, really didn t change anything when children in newtown got shot i don t know you re around this, in your everyday job is everyday people making a simple mistake and yet getting shot maybe bring this to a different level? i don t know what s your gut tell you? my gut tells me that maybe we re approaching a tipping point. we re seeing more and more action addressing the laws and this may be the moment that
