You know it was i think theres some theres a thread to pull on, though, with the breakdown of those numbers. With 3 of those 11 being the 3 republican members of the house from south florida, all of whom were contacted by parkland families saying stand with us and not with her, please. For our kids, for our families, for what weve been through. And all 3 of the south Florida Republicans did that. There is something there thats powerful in terms of what those families have been able to do to turn their grief and loss into something constructive for the country and also to use it to force people to confront the humanity behind these issues. And it is i mean, Fred Guttenberg is an incredibly articulate spokesman for what he believes. But theres a connection that parkland families and sandy hook families and other survivors have been able to take to make them be brave.

lay them out for us. that s right. two counts. one each for not appearing for his deposition and failing to a second count for failing to turn over documents that the january 6th committee demanded he turn over. but one of the interesting things that happened today, not only obviously was this was he indicted by the grand jury, but this was initially prosecutors initially asked for this to be sealed, because they felt that it was a risk of either flight or for him to tamper with other witnesses. we learned just a while ago that what happened today was he was actually arrested by the fbi, and most cases like this, the fbi allows people to self-surrender, to show up at the courthouse and surrender. in this case, peter navarro was arrested. he lives just a couple blocks away from fbi head quarters. when i talked to him earlier this week, he was really angry that when they served him his subpoena from the u.s. attorney last week, that they knocked on his door. he said they
you know who didn t have their constitutional right to life respected? the kids at parkland and sandy hook and uvalde and buffalo, and the list goes on and on. so spare me the [ bleep ] about constitutional rights. now, democrats are moving forward with other legislation next week in the house in order to include national red flag law standard to ensure authorities could take away guns from people with deemed risk. as you know, the house is a majority rule institution. democrats can do that because they have a narrow majority. the senate you need 60 votes, ten republicans need to join. 50 democrats. it s uncertain what will get to joe biden s desk. thank you for asking the tough questions. for more on this, a former secret service agent and also a texas tribune reporter. there s no one magic solution to
i think it would have some effect. there are all kinds of possibilities in terms of reforms. some have gone to suggest that the filibuster should be removed all together and it should be a majority rule institution the way it used to be. the kind of changes that democrats have in mind would make a difference. i just don t know how much. we also don t have all the details yet. we don t know to what extent he wants to make changes. it looks like we d see an incremental step in the right direction. it s interesting to view the republicans on this. mitch mcconnell quoted robert bird today saying that bird would have wanted these rule changes. is he correct? it s hard to speculate. senator bird is no longer with us and we can only imagine what he d be saying. when senator bird was elected to the senate in 1959; in that congress there was one filibuster for the entire congress.
