Good evening, everyone. It is 10 00 here on the east coast. We begin keeping them honest with a story that is hard to believe. Nearly one month to the day after the horrific shootings in newtown, connecticut, tonight we expose a number of people that claim that the sandy hook shootings were staged. Now, there are always conspiracy theorists lurking online that come out with some horrific claims. Normally, we wouldnt dignify them with air time. These are sickening to many in newtown that have spent the last few weeks crying and consoling and trying to figure out how to restart their lives. Normally, we wouldnt mention these theories. At least one of the people who is peddling one version of this conspiracy theories i a tenured associate professor at tlflorid atlantic university. His name is james tracy. He claims the shooting did not happen as reported and may not have happened at all. Here is what he wrote on his personal blog, and i quote, one is left to inquire whether the sandy hook
Interviews with political figures and news updates. Interviews with political figures and news updates. Able to sell the shares. They have telephone logs, who called whom and when. It appears they have people helping the government out with the testimony. As mimi said, andrea, its kind of overwhelming evidence thats difficult for federal prosecutors to ignore. And chuck todd, weve not yet seen to my knowledge a tweet from the president or any suggestion that this is witch hunt, mueller related. But this is really separate, this is an investigation that started, there was an Ethics Investigation that we heard about some months back, last year sometime. And so this does not come from the Mueller Operation at all. Right. And thats the thing, it has zero to do this is just bad timing, bad coincidence. And it looks bad, right . Here is yet another person close to the president who seems to be taking advantage of access,
special access, or a pay to play issue. The president s ally, the presi
His followers more than former president barack obama. After addressing hbcu College Graduates earlier today, hes about to take over practically every television network, including this one. In our next hour, president obama will deliver a virtual commencement speech to the graduating High School Class of 2020. His address will be part of a starstudded event called graduate together which will feature educationtist and Nobel Prize Winner malala yousafzai, singer and producer pharrell williams, nba star lebron james, and many, many more. Now, one would think that a prime time speech of this magnitude meant to uplift the 3. 7 Million High School seniors graduating during a time of such uncertainty, you would think that would be delivered by the current president of the United States. But instead, its former president barack obama who was tapped for the address. Possibly because there is arguably no other president and first family as widely embraced by the culture today than the obamas.
For biden. Former president george bush and his brother jeb not planning to vote for President Trump either. Well get to all of that in a moment. But first, in washington today, democrats unveiling a new plan to reform americas policing. In the 1950s, news cameras exposed the brutal horror of legalized racism in the form of segregation. 70 years later, it is the cell phone camera that has exposed the continuation of violence directed at africanamericans by the police. Empathy and sympathy and words of caring for those who have died and suffered are necessary but its not enough. We must change laws and systems of accountability. Joining me now to discuss, elisia garza, from the National Domestic Workers Alliance and cofounder of the black lives matter movement. Kristen clark, executive director of the Lawyers Committee for civil rights. And jonathan kay part. Is this a genuine inflection point, and how important is it that this is a broad Multiracial Coalition from around the world lead
