Police are prepared for the worst. Fencing has been reinstalled and officers are on high alert. But this is not another insurrection. Lets be clear. It is not even really a protest. It is just a sad political Temper Tantrum by folks who dont understand how democracy works. Listen, i dont want to downplay the potential threat here because right wing extremists that are drown to these causes can certainly be violence as we saw in january. But what is happening today doesnt have the same Threat Level as what happened on January 6. One, congress is not in session. Two, a president ial Election Isnt be certified. And this time Law Enforcement certainly does appear to be prepared. What i want to do throughout our show is make a bigger point about extremism. And that as dangerous as folks in the streets can be, it is the ones in the halls of power that you have to watch out for. Let me tell you who the extremists that caused the most damage and lasting danger, and that is your gop elected off
Filibuster, even who you d prefer to see in office. After 40 years, after month and month of lies that have corroded public faith in elections themselves it s become clear that the institutions and traditions of democracy are in need of defending. Traditions, for one, such as not concocting a convoluted conspiracy theory to explain away the simple fact of losing an election. A big lie is just that, a big lie. [ applause ] the 2020 election is not hyperbole suggest the most examined and fullest expression of the will of the people in theistry of this nation. This should be celebrated. If that weren t clear enough the president said this followed by a warning about the wave of state voter restriction laws based on that big lie. In america if you lose, you accept the results, you follow the constitution, you try again. You don t call facts fake and then try to bring down the american experiment just because you re unhappy. That s not statesmanship. That s not statesmanship. That s selfish
Responding did not exchanged gunfire. The sheriff said the suspect appears to have shot himself when officers confronted him. Again, he died along with eight other victims. Seven victims died at the scene and eight at the hospital. There s still another being shot in critical condition. We still don t know the identities of the victims. Authorities are still in the process of contacting victims families after the shooting happens. A bomb squad was also going room to room at the rail yard after bomb sniffing dogs apparently indicated that they detected the presence of explosives. That s another bizarre and terrible element to this latest mass shooting. The possibility of explosive devices being investigated. Also apparently a length fire at about the same time the shooting started, a fire was reported the shooter s home just about ten miles away from the shootings happened. Authorities are investigating whether the gunman set his house on fire before setting out on this shooting spree.

In a joint collaboration, nbc news and the online selective group, bellingcat, have reviewed, and in cases, uncovered thousands of hours of cctv footage, intercepted audio, and cell phone video. Much of it, taken by the rite rioters, themselves. We have identified more than a dozen critical moments and individuals, that, together, show the attack was, both, planned and improvised. While police were completely overwhelmed. At noon, in front of the white house, president trump is making a final bid to stay in power. We will never concede. It doesn t happen. You don t concede when there s theft involved.
