not normal. no, it wasn t. then, it s not now, as we approach the one year anniversary of the uvalde shooting, i mean us speak to states, enron gutierrez, who i spoke to on the ground in uvalde when you are. go and has been fighting for change ever since. you do not want to miss that incredibly important conversation, stick with me for that. we want to begin with the 2024 presidential race, or the lead up to it. ramping up with less than eight months until the iowa caucus, south carolina temps, got violent network on friday to throw his hat into the ring. he is joining a gop primary field that well crowded has yet to see a candidate pose a real challenge in the polls to donald trump. axios reports, is joining me now, with more on this. sophia, thanks for joining us on this. we appreciate it. just hours before tim scott made it official, you, in fact, where that is launching a nearly 6 million dollar ad buy in iowa and new hampshire as well. where does he stand in this rac
well, i mean, there s constitutional duty. what he has, he s the commander in chief. that was my biggest issue with him, as national security adviser. white house advisers to former president trump understood the constitutional oath of the presidency. trump apparently did not. mika, as we have gone through the testimonies, as we ve talked through this the past several hours, one thing really does keep sticking out to me, and that is the testimony of cipollone, where he was asked who else in the white house agreed with the president that the riot should continue. who in the white house did not want him to stop the riots, did not want him to speak out and tell them to stop. he said nobody. nobody. he said nobody. nobody inside the white house wanted the riots to continue. let me put it a different way. everybody in the white house wanted the president to act affirmatively to stop the riots. they told him that. he refused. his family members, his children, told him tha
where we think we should be. let s also understand, these negotiations are difficult. however, i would say, our team who is in the room negotiating on this is absolutely committed to figuring out how we can reach an agreement. the bottom line is that we all should agree, no matter who you voted for, america cannot default. so, everyone involved in these talks is saying, the u.s. cannot default, but we re taking closer and closer to that june 1st deadline. they don t have a lot of time to get work done. we expected to see both parties, the white house negotiators, and the republican negotiators, sitting down in meeting in person. we were told, early on, that is not on the schedule today. i just checked in, it is still not on the schedule today. so, we will see if they re gonna come back here and get to the table again. so far, it is just republicans huddling. julie tsirkin for, us we thank, you want to bring in now texas congresswoman, jasmine crockett to talk more about
