tonight with this really weird moment that happened last week at a house hearing. transportation secretary pete buttigieg was testifying before a house committee and as you woulde expect, for several hou, theyfo discussed infrastructure roads, railway, electric vehicles, energy prices, all of the usual stuff until one republican congressman on the committee suddenly took the transportation hearing off the rails. and that joke was for you, transport nerd, you re welcome. have a watch. now have president biden in office for 18 months and just recentlyfi we see the mainstrea media questioning president biden s mental state and for good reason. sadly he shakes hands with ghosts and imaginary people and falls offeo bicycles and even a the white house easter celebration, easter bunny had to guide him back intonn his safe place. end of speech, where he actually states, that is, if he sta stays awake. so my question for you, is, sir, have you spoken with any other cabinet member ab
following his first trip to the middle east. we ll go through what if anything was accomplished in his controversial visit with the saudi crown prince. good morning. and welcome to way too early. on this monday, july 18th. i m jonathan lemire. thanks for being with us. we begin with the latest fallout from the massacre that killed 19 children and two teachers in uvalde, texas. a damning investigative report released over the weekend said that nearly 400 law enforcement officials responded to the mass shooting but that quote egregiously poor decision making let the shooting continue for more than an hour. that report written by an investigative committee from the texas house of representatives is the first to criticize state and federal law enforcement for their role in the response. it makes the fullest account of what happened during the very worst school shootings in u.s. history. uvalde mayor don mclaughlin said the acting police chief during the shooting was placed on
january 6 committee new surprise. new evidence requiring a special hearing tomorrow. first, over the weekend, thousands of people took to the streets to protest the supreme court decision. sweeping away the rights of millions of americans. the new poll show that a majority of americans oppose the ruling. republicans know it s unpopular. they re attempting to make the truly ludicrous claim they are the party that cares about women. compassionate conservativism. look, you know the republican party should do now, it should use this victory if you see it that way to change itself and become a party that helps with women, change its reputation. become a party that helps women and children. becomes responsible. you know it s a bad idea when the entire panel cannot help but laugh out loud on live tv. that claim republicans could possibly support women, right now. it falls apart immediately. after south dakota governor said she wants to help support mothers in her state, abc cite
