join you tomorrow at 8:00. rachel, imagine it is the mid 1990s, and you are with your elementary school on a tour of washington, d.c. and at the capitol. you are 30 is, 33 is rounding to the near 30 is? you are at an elementary school in the 1990s, and you are walking through one of the congressional office buildings. you see over there, a low traffic area, on a stun bench, there is the famous colonists and pundit mark shields, and he is sitting beside a guy in a t-shirt and jeans, who is actually me, and i am counting $10,000 in cash. what do you think, and who do you reported to? i think while they have drug dealers in the east coast here to, mom. that s probably why i think. it was it was a strange moment. it s all going to be explained at the end of the show why mark shields was with me when i was counting $10,000 in cash and congressional office building. can i ask you in advance how big $10,000 in cash is? it was hundreds, so i have never seen it before.

mcgraw yesterday, but also in addition to that, additional information coming to light from sources who have been able to share information. i was able to watch a video, some of the security video, from the school the day that this was happening. and when you look at that, and you look at the facts as they are starting to come out, clearly the effort to conceal information and to hide information is as you mentioned, falling apart. we are finally one month and one day later starting to get some real truth and some real facts out there. clearly there are people who do not like that, and who are finding the truth very difficult to hear. and frankly, it is a difficult truth. david, i know that we have all been listening, you have been listening for verification of your own reporting in reporting of others as things are being revealed.
there. that is what we had seen unheard early on, that though chief arredondo was insisting that the doors were locked, and spend an excruciatingly long time looking for a key, as said yesterday, it was not needed. and that is really a painful realization and a painful detail to have publicly stated by the head of the police and texas. j. david goodman, and tony plohetski, thank you for your reporting and thank you for joining us tonight. joining us now he represents the 19th district, which includes uvalde. you have filed a lawsuit. this is against the texas state department of public safety to get information. what is this lawsuit aimed at? first of all, thank you very much. we filed a lawsuit because we filed an open records request back on may 31st, ten days passed, and the agency did not respond to us in any way, nor did they take exception with
it is probably a moot point, because none of the officers were seen on video checking the doors to see if they were locked, including the gunman, he was able to get into that classroom with unimpeded suggesting that the door was unsecured as mcgraw was saying. he demonstrated yesterday, during the hearing, that these doors would only be locked with a cue from the outside. so clearly something was either wrong with that door, or made it so that it wasn t secured enclosed in a way that would ve prevented him from getting in there. that is what we had seen unheard early on, that though chief arredondo was insisting that the doors were locked, and spend an excruciatingly long time looking for a key, as said yesterday, it was not needed. and that is really a painful realization and a painful detail to have publicly stated by the head of the police and texas. j. david goodman, and tony plohetski, thank you for your reporting and thank you for joining us tonight. joining us now, roland guti
