want to bring in ali vitali who is on the scene for us. this is breaking in the last hour or so. we re learning more by the minute. what do we know right now? reporter: learning more by the minute, yasmin. expected to get even more hard information as soon as this press briefing starts. i m told that the sheriff is on his way over right now. and we ll start getting more information. when that happens, i ll go over and try to ask all the questions that we still have, which is effectively what is the official timeline of what happened here. i will say i caught up with a parent, who was picking her children up here, they were thankfully okay, but she described to me that moment where she got the text message from one of her kids saying that there was an active shooting at their high school, and she never thought that it could happen in this community, and to her children, and unfortunately now this has come to perry, iowa. she also told me that while this shooting may have hap
being weighed down by many weaknesses. at the heart of his vulnerability is of course his age. nearly half of democrats say it is their biggest concern and 74% of voters don t think he is sharp enough. if you are a liberal perhaps most worrisome of all an eye opening 67% of democrats prefer another candidate. let me reiterate. two-thirds of his own party want someone else to run. the issue is not just his age. nearly 60% of americans believe that biden has made the economy worse. in a moment james carville joins me to react to that but first here is a taste of how some democrats are spinning today. let s not forget donald trump has three fewer candles on his birthday cake than joe biden. sure. he also has 91 more criminal counts on his record than joe biden. if a year from now these numbers are the same, and this were a referendum, he would be in deep, deep trouble. he would not win that. joe biden has an incredible record to run on. i ll note this poll has a margin
these cases. and what? the worst-case mario might be that you get a knock at your door from the sergeant at arms, maybe a slap on the wrist? best-case an aerial, politically, you get a badge of honor that you stuck it to the man. they were really more afraid of ignoring a doj criminal subpoena then a congressional one and they took their chances time and time again that the doj wouldn t prosecute you for laughing at a congressional subpoena. you know what else? in the past, that very thought process paid off. but now, this conviction, well this series of convictions, now puts the light back in the dog because when you are facing some jail time suddenly people start to take your requests more seriously. now, people like congressman jimmy jordan of ohio who, incels, you will recall was roundly criticized for, shall we say, not prioritizing congressional subpoenas aimed at him. now he is in leadership. so the big question is what we see the flood gates began to open and subpoena
Discovery and have filed motions. and trump s lawyers say that s improper, they re accusing jack smith of trying to rush this case to what they call an unconstitutional early trial to undermine what they said was donald trump s commanding lead in the polls. there is a lot of theater in this motion. but it is true that the case is supposed to be on hold. ordinarily defense lawyers want as much production and discovery, that means the documents in the case turned over to them. in this case, the trump lawyers want everything to stop because their number one strategy is delay. they want the judge to enforce this and hold these jack smith attorneys in contempt of court, to tell them to stop filing any motions. we ll have to see exactly what the judge does, but whether she grants this or not, what another interesting implication here is the other judge and the other case in florida, aileen cannon, has been much more hostile to jack smith than judge chutkan in d.c. she s going to read this mo
To the judge, don t hold her in contempt of court, it s not her fault that the law is a mess, that she s confused about what to do. why don t you wait until the legislature comes into session next year and we ll fix this. her objection is that the form has the name of her county and her name as the county clerk on it, even if she does nothing, she says, the form is still issued in her name and that s what she says is her objection. the question is, should she be held in contempt of court for disobeying the judge s order last month, directing her to issue these licenses? she asked to courts of appeal for relief from that order, xlug the supreme court and they both declined to do that. her lawyer says, don t hold her in contempt citing cases you can t hold someone in contempt if they re unable to comply. and they re saying she can t comply because this would violate her religious beliefs. a lot of the cases they cite are, for example, people who were cited for contempt and their lawyer s
