speaking out. you have to see what happened in this interview with charlemagne thee god. but, first, another covid search and a new set of questions. the covid-19 pandemic has been one long, excruciating lesson about humility, and about being humble in the face of changing circumstances, and a wily virus. it s about being open to new information, new inputs, new approaches. it s about accepting experts sometimes get it wrong and that leaders sometimes fail to lead, and that journalists who strive for clarity sometimes stoke confusion. humility means recognizing different points of view. humility means being respectful of the trauma of the past two years. [ bell tolling ] the washington national cathedral tolled this funeral bell 800 times this week to honor the 800,000 lives lost to covid in the u.s. that s a humbling death toll. everyone has lost something or someone to this pandemic. humility realizes people mourn in different ways. it is still okay not to be okay. it is
u.s. supreme court. that said, what happens in the district court very important. enormous win for the biden administration. enormous blow for the texas law here. so then the judge directly addressed this novel enforcement scheme, which that s one of the things that made it difficult, right, for getting around the enforcement of it. individual citizens empowered to go after abortion providers and others who help women get abortions. what did he say about that? when you read this, it is striking. the language is very district. he pulled no punches. depriving citizens of this right by direct state action would be flagrantly unconstitutional, the state contrived made up an unprecedented and transparent statutory scheme to do just that. like you said, brianna, texas put this law together in a way to make it difficult for a judge to review it. he said i m not letting you weave between the lines and get around judicial review. that s why he issued his ruling. those in the whi
committee. but the fact that they can t find dan scavino makes it stickier. they are looking for communications with the white house on january 6th and character information about the former president. as we know, he was a confidante for many, many, many years before he even assumed the presidency. there s a wealth of information they re hoping to learn from him. these deadlines are by design. what they were hoping to do is get the papers first, review the relevant information, and then ask informed questions. if they can t do that, it makes these people coming in for depositions a lot more difficult. you want to know as much information before the actual interview as possible so you can try to nail down people on specifics. whitney wild, keep us posted the next several hours. donald trump per usual saying down is up and up is down. a colorful and fact-challenged statement. the unselect committee of partisan democrats and two very weak and pa theltic rinos, should come

amen. a prayer from the senate chaplain on behalf of a grieving nation. on that very solemn note, i wish you all a very good and safe night from washington, d.c. and from all of our colleagues across the network of nbc news, thank you for staying up late. i ll see you tomorrow. thank you for joining us this hour and for alex tonight, the national metropolitan police department release body camera footage that left three children, three adults in the shooter, themselves, dead in the melamine tree school in the nashville suburbs. there is a lot that is notable about the footage. first off, 14 minutes went by between when police were first alerted that a shooter had entered the building and when the police ultimately shot the shooter. pretty fast. we can see that for a good chunk of that time, the shooter who you see on the screen appears to be a unable to find someone to shoot. we can also see how quick and brave the response from both staff members and the first responders
