Back . When will schools reopen . How can i protect myself and my family . Those questions are good questions. They all seem very far from the president s mind today. His morning tweets, a window on his priorities, and today his priorities are once again very disconnected from fact and reality. A Smear Campaign against a Morning Television host, a convoluted spiros theory about spying, more baseless conjecture that mailin ballots would be, the president s words, a freeforall on cheating the next election. The president leaves the white house this hour for florida to watch as nasa astronauts launch from american soil for the first time in nine years. He is absolute in his reopening push. And again, at odds with the sciencebased caution of his top expert. President trump wants north carolinas governor to commit this week to allowing the Republican Convention to come to charlotte in august. Dr. Anthony fauci, though, says its too soon to answer that question, noting that as things stand r
To be in the hot seat. Lets just say its not getting a lot of likes from lawmakers. The apology tour or contrition sonata will simply no longer work. There has to be a commitment to change the business model. These repeated apologies again and again and again over many years simply fail to excuse the fact that they monetize information, they sell it, and there needs to be rules that protect privacy. We begin the hour with the president described by friends and advisers as furious and enraged, but also by one as, quote, clearly a little shaken. The anger is hardly confined to the phone calls the president makes and takes while watching cable news. Attorneyclient privilege is dead, the president tweeted this morning. A total witch hunt. The rage, of course, follows mondays dramatic search and seizure at an office and hotel room used by the president s longtime personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen. The payment to the porn actress Stormy Daniels is one of the issues under investigation.
Contingent of High School Students from washington, d. C. , maryland, northern virginia, that have gathered here to have their voices heard on this 19th anniversary of the columbine massacre. Im joined by caroline, theyre both from falls church, virginia. First time, what is it that made you decide to come out here, leave school today and have your voice heard . Im just very passionate about guns and gun laws. I think we need to have stronger gun laws, make it more difficult to buy guns. Right now, im 18, i live right across the street from walmart and i can go buy a gun and i dont think thats okay. I think the youth are the movement that is going to change and better our country, so i think that it is very important that students get out and be active. Did you feel like this was something you were always passionate about or was it the School Shooting in parkland, florida, that really got your attention and made you feel like you had to become more active . Ive always been passionate a
Friends, coworkers, neighbors, colleagues. You know, at this point i would like to turn things over to chief cervera to give you the information that we have so far. The mayor, as you saw, could hardly continue. The police chief, understandably, struggled as well. Right now we have a lot of questions. The whys, they will come later. Right now we have more questions really than we have answers. Were a little more than two hours into this event, and we use the word event, thats a cop term. This devastating incident that happened that none of us want to be here to talk about, this devastating incident that is going to change the lives of a number of families from our city. Local station wvec managed to speak with a witness. Her name is megan banton. She works inside the building. Just we just heard there was an active shooter and we just barricaded ourselves in offices to make sure that we were all safe, and i called 911 just to get them to come there as fast as possible. Reporter take me
Anthony scaramucci says he can no longer support President Trump because of his racially charged rhetoric. And the mooch says republicans should make a change for 2020. It is a responsibility of people in the Republican Party okay to say, hey, man, we need to put a relief pitcher in here. You pitched six strong innings but youre throwing it up against the backstop now. I really believe that. Lets see what happens. Im a loyal republican. I tried to be loyal to him, but lets face it, hes gone off the rails so we just have to call it for what it is. We begin the hour, though, with the attorney general talking for the first time about Jeffrey Epsteins apparent suicide. This morning in new Orleans William barr calling epsteins death a, quote, failure. I was appalled, and indeed the whole department was, and frankly angry, to learn of the mccs failure to adequately secure this prisoner. We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a tho
