arizona independent. this western independent. very much in the mold there of john mccain, but the hope among arizona democrats was that years of activist work would ultimately lead to a democratic senator in the u.s. senate ultimately voting on major issues. whether it be the minimum wage. increasing the min much wage. whether be it federal voting rights legislation. what you ve seen here over the last two years, since senator sinema entered the u.s. senate, there has been frustration at the local level in arizona. especially among party activists who have said for decades it was a long haul to get to this point and they hoped ultimately she would execute on her ability to be in the u.s. senate and vote on their behalf. i want to let you read part of the statement from the chairwoman of the arizona democratic party right after this censure here this morning. she said, in part while we take no pleasure in this announcement, the adp executive board decided to formally censu
maxwell frost, later on in the show. i m looking forward to hear what he says. ayman, have a good weekend. thank you, my friend. we ll be watching. all right. it was the wrong decision. that s what the top law enforcement official in texas admitted today, as outrage grows over why it took police so long to stop the gunman at robb elementary school in uvalde, texas. that gap and police intervention is even more glaring, after we learned new details about the timeline today. minutes after the gunman crashed his vehicle, he was already firing shots outside at the school. a school resource officer, who was not on the school grounds, heard the 9-1-1 call, and responded. but actually, he drove past the shooter, according to officials. at 11:33 am, the shooter enters the school, and fires more than 100 rounds in four minutes. two minutes after that, three officers arrived, and enter the school, exchanging gunfire with the shooter. by 12:03 pm, as many as 19 officers are in a h
on our hands. what are we doing? the kids enough is enough. can anything be done to stop the next massacre? the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. the time for us to stop the next mass shooting in this country is right now. this is the moment to reform gun loss? it is easy to go to politics. we, as a society, need to do a better job with mental health. when in god s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby? not one more! not one more! will americans ever be able to find common ground? our union is not just imperfect, it is severely broken right now. it just keeps happening and nobody does anything about it. enough is enough, and 11th hour special with stephanie ruhle starts right now. good evening once again, i am stephanie ruhle. this has been a hugely challenging week, one that started with a mass shooting in texas that broke our nation s heart and is ending with that very same state showcasing the heart of
rifle. that he was able to legally purchase, just like the gunman here and eovaldi. the vice president and the second gentleman will be in buffalo later today to attend the funeral of one of the victims of that massacre. meanwhile, as authorities we can continue to piece together the events of the tragedy here in uvalde, the nra is holding the second day of its annual convention in houston, just 270 miles east of here. joining me now, nbc news national security and intelligence correspondent, candlelight ian and, correspondent sam brock live in uvalde texas. can, the timeline of events of tuesday s tragedy keeps shifting. what has changed over the past few days in law enforcement s account of just what happened? good morning alicia well. you really had a shift from the department of public safety from defending the law enforcement response and saying that actually saved lives, to yesterday laying out a timeline that really made it clear that there was a series of colossal mis
that s what beto overwork said today when he provided the only unpredictable moment in the unfolding story of mass murder at a texas elementary school. the mass murder that occurred yesterday was predictable. we just could not tell you the exact location that it was going to occur or the exact day that it was going to occur. it is now predictable that a virtually identical shooting will occur again in texas and in other states. what has been said in the aftermath has also been totally predictable. but beto o rourke s crashing of the news conference by greg abbott was not predictable. beto o rourke went to that news conference in uvalde, texas to listen and then to tell greg abbott and other republican elected officials on the stage, quote, this is on you. the shooting right now when you are doing nothing. no! this is totally predictable. sir, you are out of line! sir, you are out of line! sir, you are out of line. please leave this auditorium.
