That is something that for the past five years, ive been dealing with on very obviously a firsthand basis. We see this happen time and time and time again. The bigger issue is how to stop this in general with any type of weapon. The fact is we are just over 24 hours out from this terrible tragedy and are still learning all the information. You know, but i think getting back to the bakes here and trying to figure out specifically what acts can be taken, what legislation can be proposed to stop all incidents like this regardless of the type of firearm used. Let me ask you about the firepower needed to do that. If someone comes to a school armed, maybe a couple of people come armed with ar15s with unlimited ammunition, what kind of firepower is needed to stop them at the door . Can you outmatch the kind of
firepower which is available at any gunshop in most states . Unfortunately, i know my mop couldnt. I know my mom couldnt. Representative moskowitz, youre down there. Its your responsibi
About a pending vote in the u. N. General assembly regarding israel. According to the charges, a very Senior Member of the president ial Transition Team directed flynn to contact officials from foreign governments, including russia, to learn where each government stood on the resolution and to influence those governments to delay the vote or defeat the resolution. Nbc news reported today that the very senior official was Jared Kushner, the president s soninlaw. In a Statement Today Michael Flynn said, i recognize that the actions i acknowledged in court today were wrong, and through my faith in god i am working to set things right. My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the Special Counsels office reflect the decision i made in the best wanted of my family and of our country. I accept full responsibility for my actions. There was strong reaction to todays news from democrats on the hill involved in the russia probe. Their message, theres more to come. Inside the white house the
Them for the last three months. Four months, five months. And theyre still here. Theyre still here. Meanwhile, bipartisan efforts to Shield Mueller and his investigation are moving forward in the senate, interestingly enough after much delay. Today republican Chuck Grassley, the chair of the powerful Senate Judiciary committee announced his panel will vote on a bill to protect mueller potentially as soon as tomorrow. That puts grassley on a direct Collision Course with the Senate Majority leader who says he will not advance the bill to a final vote. Theres no indication that mueller is going to be fired. I dont think the president is going to do that. Obviously a number of your colleagues fear it enough to say it should be in there. Im the one who decides what we take to the floor. Thats my responsibility as the majority leader. Well not be having this on the floor of the senate. Its possible mcconnell doesnt read the New York Times which reported on two separate occasions when the pre
Evening. And the Rachel Maddow show starts right now. You. Just lived my nightmare. I know. This was going to come out while i was live on the air. Your staff had a betting pool on it. We did.

only reason i think is to give it to trump and give it to trump s base. trump is going to take something like this and run with it as he announced his january 6th press conference at mar-a-lago. he s looking for another counterstunt from everything the committee is unearthing. a judge denied a request to block the january 6th subpoenas saying there is no basis to conclude that flynn will face immediate and irreparable harm. your take, joyce. so flynn found that he could not get an injunction to keep the proceedings from going forward as to him. but i think there s something very interesting going on here. flynn didn t simply try to go in front of the committee and claim executive privilege or make the host of arguments we ve seen other witnesses make, and that s because the committee is being very effective. when they have subpoenaed other witnesses and then referred their contempt to the justice department for prosecution, what
