straight ahead we ll get a reality check on where all this goes. we re also live in tulsa where the police revealed a gunman who shot four people bought his gun just four hours beforehand. in uvalde, texas, as more and more kids are being laid to rest today, a state senator revealing the officer in charge never got word that children were calling 911, basically calling for help. mike memoli is covering the white house, blaine alexander is in tulsa, oklahoma, thompson is in uvalde, texas and we re joined by security analyst clint watts, former head of the counterterrorist division. i think you can t technically call it an address from president biden. why now? we learned that the president would be taking to the white house and in prime time tonight, we noted it was a rare instance of him using the biggest stage a president has to use the bully pulpit to paint the case for gun action at a critical moment. when the white house made their announcement of making it official
Of his current and third wife. She did not support her husband in court and stayed in florida, to be clear, there were seven other days of the trial and those were not her birthday and neither she nor her family have set foot in court to support trump, so far. Her birthday was such a big deal to donald trump that he used his first moment walking into court to complain about having to sit in court rather than being with his third and current wife on her birthday. Then, this text went to Trump Supporters. I would love to be with Melania Trump on her birthday, but instead, im stuck in court it said, i am humble asking you to please Stand By My Side today this is code, for send cash. He also repeated a lie that hes told over and over in court, im at the heavily guarded courthouse. Security is that of fort knox, also that maga will not be able to attend this trial. Thats a lie, no one is preventing any member of the public from coming to trial. The two tourists from alaska took time out of
they recall them calling for the execution of mike pence, building a gallows outside. doorways crushed. shame on the republican party for sweeping that under the rug because of donald trump. our democracy has long endured because leaders of good faith, even at a cost, shared a fidelity to the truth, not so today. i hope this is not the beginning of an effort by senate republicans from debating reasonable commonsense legislation. we will see. after the break i will bring forward a bill for equal pay for
violence than other countries like ours. it s not just one thing. it s not just mental illness. it s not just background checks. it s not just domestic violence legislation. it s a combination of a lot of different things. and the reason we can t fix it is what you are talking about and that s corporate money in politics. your wife, mark, as i mentioned, gabby giffords shot in 2011. since then 11 of the deadliest mass shootings in u.s. history. this is look at this it s unbelievable, it s up on the screen there, everyone look at that. you respond to the president s reaction to the shooting. true leaders do not past blame, true leaders accept responsibility, acknowledge hard truths, do everything in their power to find solutions to our biggest problems. the president failed to acknowledge our nation s gun violence process after the congressional baseball shooting in alexandra, he failed to take action after hundreds were shot and 58 killed in a concert in las vegas, he failed to do
marc, you have experience with this, sadly. and those who staunchly defend absolute gun rights say it s a mental health problem. that s the problem. not guns. however, president trump signed legislation that undid restrictions aimed to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. why did that happen? well, i think it happened because of the gun lobby. the gun lobby supported his campaign. we think to tune of about $30 million. yes. and continues to do that with members of the house and the senate and state races around the country. it was about a year ago that he signed that legislation that made it easier for people that do have some mental issues and also military members with some ptsd to obtain firearms. and it doesn t make a lot of sense. it is an issue in some of these shootings. i would agree with david that in some mass shootings you see a mental health component. but that s only part of this. i mean, there are a lot of reasons why we have 15 to 25 times the death rate
