talk. [speaking spanish] joining me now is sam brock in uvalde with the latest on the shooting. also he s in houston where the show must go on for the nra. first use them, it s very hard to watch, to hear, and process what happened there. then we learned of the injured children calling 9-1-1 for help. didn t get there in time. it all feels impossible and we are not even there. here in the studio. but you there on scene? what are you learning sam? well certainly it s gut wrenching alex. you talk to parents here, and they say it feels like the floor falls from underneath them every time they hear these press conferences. the changing narratives. also that the help was there on. time there were 90 law enforcement officers inside at 12:03, that s the same time the 9-1-1 calls were coming from the classroom. the incident commander based on the volume of shots, and initially they re 100 shots fired in the first few minutes, and then slowed down, that incident commander made
communication at an incident like this is critical. as the tons of 9/11 calls are coming in, i would expect an entire section of this action report to be looking into how is the stuff thing at the communication center? how are these calls getting pushed to the police? and then when they get to the police, how are they going? who is in charge of this incidents? in terms of coming up with a cohesive plan? when you look at this terrible terrible incident, then you look at the time that it, last stopping the threat immediately has to be on everyone s minds. the part that is haunting. and we get to the communication after this. people need to be reminded, this is what is the part that everyone is jaw-dropping the thinking about. 12:03 you have that beret student who calls 9-1-1 from the classroom. calling again at 12:16. at that point saying, 8 to 9 peers are alive.
what immigration, what murder rateigra? why are you mad at me? i didn t have anything to do with that. i wasn t even here. it s it s the most i i ve never as you know, sean, because we re such good friends. i m a historian. em i don t remember any period in american history where a major party has been this outu of touch with reality and is now out of touch with itself. i mean it s a stuff thing to watch. i just think it s spectacular. a spectacularr arrogance that after supporting defund, dismantle nobelel that they couldn t with a straight face just lie to us . maybe some people will be convinced by the lie. i won t be particularlyrly impressed by it. you know, bato bozo sf the greatest example and i asked tulsi gabbard and i find it to be really refreshing and as much as she s a democrat but she sees her party really off track.s and i said is t there any one ,
believe that even if he did it, he should be confirmed. in other words, the republican party as a group, a majority of them, don t think this was that bad. they think that this was kind of a, well, teenage guys do that kind of stuff thing. but senators had to kind of conceal that and make the case that it was either about something else, oh, are we going to convict guys for drinking beer in high school? no, that s not what it was about. it was about assault. i want you to weigh in on this also, melanie, and how it is people can say, we believe dr. christine blasey ford, we just don t believe the part about 100% brett kavanaugh. where does that come from? i think it s just part of the gop strategy. they knew they couldn t attack the accuser herself, so they instead decided to focus on making kavanaugh into a victim. there was a theory that he was falsely identified, that there was someone else who actually committed this assault against dr. ford. and i think it just speaks to,
