president in american history, unfortunately. so much of it is much of it is preventable. and the devastation is amazing. that was in a meeting with the new zealand prime minister. the united states has its first confirmed ambassador to ukraine in kyiv in three years. she arrives at a critical moment with president zelenskyy saying that russia achieved, quote, maximum combat power in the eastern donbas region. president biden has reaffirmed his support for federal reserve independence in fighting inflation in advance of a meeting today with fed chairman powell as the national frustration with rising inflation becomes a midterm threat for democrats. we begin in uvalde, texas, with nbc s sam brock, and tom winter and former u.s. attorney joyce vance. sam, while federal investigators are looking into the police response to this mass shooting, we are hearing stories about the day as the community attends services for loved ones. tell us what s going on down there. this is a
uvalde. how school security roundup in the wake of previous mass murders continue to fail and why all of us are concerns about margins keep getting ignored. and as the architects of america s gun crisis meet at the nra convention going all about the potential for congress. why only in the your country, why isn t only in america? why is this exceptionalism so awful? when all in starts right now. . good evening from new york, i m chris hayes what we know happened at ramallah matthew school in uvalde texas is that 90 children and two teachers were shot and killed. they were murdered by an 18-year-old who purchased two weapons as soon as he was legally able. right after his 18th birthday. there s a lot we do not know. in particular, about the timeline of just what happened on tuesday. they re a lot of outstanding questions about when the police arrived at the scene, how long the shooter was in the building, how long it was before he went into the building, what officer did, o
on tuesday. they re a lot of outstanding questions about when the police arrived at the scene, how long the shooter was in the building, how long it was before he went into the building, what officer did, or crucially, didn t do to stop him. this afternoon, local officials held a press conference and was clear that there are still many holes in the story. we re gonna talk more about that later in the show. but something that i am certain of, is that the most wrongheaded downright dystopian response to the murder in the town of uvalde is to call for quote, hardening schools. we have to harden our schools, not soften them up. the most important thing we can do is harden the schools. harden schools. hardening schools. god help us if we don t harden our schools and protect our kids. you ever notice when that happens, like some nasty new bit of lingo that didn t exist before in all like iran is saying it. clearly there was some memmel, somewhere. that was the enraging
a killer, we just don t want any part of that. history should not remember this person s name. instead, history should remember, and we all should hear the names of those murdered here, the children and their teacher. they are the ones that matter. amory joe garza matters. she was 10 years old. her dad is going to join us in just a few minutes. he says his daughter was full of life, always telling jokes, always smiling. on social media this monk, he wrote, please don t take a second for granted. hug your family. tell them you love them. i love you, amerie jo, he said. javier lopez matters. he was 10 years old. javier attended a school honor roll ceremony just before he was killed. his mom telling the washington post that he could not wait to go to middle school. that is what he was looking forward to. she says she ll never forget his smile. it would cheer anyone up, she says. ucia garcia matters. he was also 10 years old. his uncle tells us he loved video games and anything
Long. Morning joe starts right now. I have opposed efforts to ban Deadly Weapons of war like the Assault Rifle used to carry out this crime. The time has now come for me to take responsibility for this failure. Which is why i now call on the United States congress to ban Assault Rifles like the one used by the sick perpetrator of this mass killing in my hometown of lewiston, maine. For the good of my community, i will work with any colleague to get this done in the time that i have left in congress. Thats democratic Congressman Jared Golden of maine, changing his position on gun reform following wednesdays deadly Mass Shootings in his hometown.
