not to bring ukraine into the nato family now at this moment in the middle of the war. ukraine now promises it will not use the american supplied cluster munitions in russia. it comes as the controversial weapons divided congress. they want these as self-defense to use against russians in their own country of ukraine. i don t see anything wrong with the, these weapons would be a game-changer. cluster bombs should never be used. that is crossing a line. we would risk losing our moral leadership. also new today, treasury secretary janet yellen returns from china after a weekend of high stakes meetings. the secretary is optimistic progress is being made to shore up tense relations. i had a very construct a visit. i received a warm welcome and had a very substantial series of meetings. an objective of my trip was to explain the national security is something that we can t compromise on and we will protect. capitol hill is bracing for a potential far-right feud as marj
noon pacific, good to be with you. i m jose diaz-balart in for katy tur. today, the department of justice released a long awaited report on the police response to the mass shooting at robb elementary in uvalde, texas. it was almost two years ago in may of 2022 when a mass murderer took the lives of 19 children and two teachers, and despite officers arriving on the scene just three minutes after the shooter gained entry to the school, it took 77 minutes for law enforcement to confront the lone gunman. the report is scathing. calling the response to the shooting a failure. noting that despite evidence that wounded children were in the classroom, the officers did not engage with the shooter. they didn t treat the perpetrator as an active threat, and those decisions among others may have cost lives. families were briefed before the report was made public. i spoke to kimberly whose daughter lexi died that day and asked her what she wants to see come from this report. account is
Thank you for sharing your day with us. Joe bidens lawyers confirm a second batch of classified files were discovered in his delaware home. The president says hes fully cooperating, but cant resist sniping at reporters questions. Classified material next to your corvette. What were you thinking . Let me ill have a chance to speak on this, good willing, soon, and as i said by the way, my corvette is in a locked garage. Its not like its sitting out in the street. Plus, a picture of fraud. More and more republicans plead with congressman George Santos to quit as we get a glimpse of his resume full of outright lies. And American Families exhale as new data Show Inflation is easing. Is it a return to normal or is a recession still on the table . Up first, the Attorney General makes a Public Statement next hour, as questions mount about how he will handle a blossoming controversy involving his boss. Joe biden also had classified files in his delaware garage. This morning the president and hi
now for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening lawrence. good evening alex. seeing is kevin mccarthy s first order of business in the house of representatives is to prove how much we do not need a house of representatives if it is to be run by the legislative crazies of the republican party. maybe that will never be seated. maybe this is it. maybe it s just about the upper chamber? so far, the republicans have done no damage in the house of representatives. the damage begins as soon as they have control of it with the speaker. we are wishing for the good old days when nobody was seated, once they do. and, alex, one nice note for history today is that the person who is next in line for the presidency, after the vice president, is, once again, a woman, because patty murray became the president pro tem of the united states senate, and there is no speaker of the house. so, as of now, the next in line for the presidency is a woman in the united states senate
reporter: all of these options are thorny. if they go to another round of balloting, it s not clear i would be surprised if mccarthy were able to peel off the number of people that he needs from this 20 no vote coalition on his side to actually become speaker on this next ballot. what we are hearing is that the mccarthy team could go for a motion to adjourn until tomorrow. you are right, that would buy them time. it would save them another round of embarrassment if he were to lose on this fourth ballot. as i was walking over here, i tried to find some key members of that 20 no vote coalition to ask if they would support that motion to adjourn. right now, democrats have said they will not represent republicans do that. they are whipping against that motion. republicans would have to go it alone. they would not be able to pass that motion to adjourn unless some of these 20 republicans were also on board and supportive of it. i talked, for example, with congressman andy bigg
