congress, and democracy itself. this is another member of the ex presidents inner circle. he was indicted, and republicans are caught on tape planning to dispatch an army of activists to polling sites to target and potentially overturn votes in democratic precincts. the reporter who understood those tapes joins me later in the show. plus, the lawyer who scored an unprecedented victory for sandy hook families against the gunmaker in that case has turned his attentions to the gun maker in the uvalde texas massacre. i will talk to him about that legal strategy that could be the turning point in the war over guns in america, and what you might not know about how the gun industry markets directly to young men. then, day 101 of the war that vladimir putin plans to wrap up in three days. i will talk to lieutenant colonel vindman about how russia s war of choice in ukraine has changed. what is likely to come next, and likely, today, by the way, is the first day of the general electio
my congressional republican friends led by rick scott have a different approach. he s actually introduced a plan he wants to raise taxes on working families by an average of $1,500 a year, put medicare and social security, medicaid excuse me, social security and medicaid on the chopping block every five years. in other words, every five years they re going to no longer exist unless they vote them back into existence. i disagree with that. what in god s name are they doing? i ll work with anyone, democrat, republican, independent, to deliver real solutions and real savings for the american people, not take money out of their pockets. now the other other element i d like to address that has impacts on inflation is to lower the deficit. the reason this matters to families is because reducing the deficit is another way to ease inflation. my friends on the republican side like to paint me as the big spender. but let s look at the facts. facts matter. under my predecessor, th
winfield. one of the ten people killed in a mass shooting of a grocery store on may 15th. yesterday, the president and first lady were down in uvalde, texas where they met for hours with families of the 19 young children and two teachers who were killed in last week s school shooting. which of course came just ten days after buffalo. as biden left the church service in uvalde, he was met by a crowd of people chanting, do something. he responded by telling the crowd, we will. the president sounded a very similar note in the commence speech this weekend at university of delaware, telling graduates that the country can and must do something. let s be clear, evil came to the elementary school classroom in texas, to that grocery store in new york and far too many places where innocents have died. in the face of such forces, we have to stand stronger. we must stand stronger. we cannot outlaw tragedy, i know. but we can make america safer. but let s be honest, optimism is in sho
where they met with the families of the 19 children and two teachers in the school shooting which came ten days after buffalo. as biden left a church service in uvalde, he was met by a crowd of people chanting do something. he responding by telling the crowd, we will. the president sounded a similar note in the commencement speech at the university of delaware, telling graduates that the country can and must do something. let s be clear. evil came to that elementary school in texas, to that grocery store in new york, far too many places where innocents have died. the face of such forces, we have to stand stronger. we must stand stronger, we cannot outlaw, tragedy, i know, but we can make america safer. but let s be honest, optimism is in short supply on whether congress will do anything at all, even as protests raged throughout the weekend outside the nra conference that took place in houston, inside the event donald trump himself and other republican political leaders
