harris faulkner. also joining us, lili gil valetta and richard fowler. the six victims of monday s shooting will be remembered today individual. a clear picture of their courage is emerging. head of school katherine koonce sprang into action when the shots first ring out. she was on a zoom call and she ran towards the shooter and sacrificed her own life by putting herself in the line of fire to protect her students. one of the young victims displayed bravery that defied her young age. at just 9 years old, evelyn dieckhaus was murdered as she attempted to save her classmates by trying to pull the fire alarm. police say the suspect was a former student who had detailed maps of the christian school. they say the shooting was targeted but it s not being investigated as a federal hate crime. senator josh hawley says that just doesn t make sense. police in nashville has said this school was targeted. it wasn t random, wasn t happenstance. they were targeted. it s a federal hate c
of free-speech. kay emily: we talked aboutw senator hawley was the only senator to vote against the anti-asian hate bill that you discussed and the reason he did so was because he felt in vastly encroached on our free speech rights. part of this hypocrisy harris: the way that it was written. richard: this is often the talk that you hear when they try to stiffen hate crime legislation. emily: on the contrary. richard: when the democrats and president biden tried to pass an antilynching bill. republicans, rand paul made the same argument, it encroaches on free speech. penalties we don t need 150 years after emmett till, we don t have an antilynching bill in this country. having this conversation but hate crimes, the most important thing we can do, the people that hate is happening too. christian, transgender, gay, lesbian, african american,
