it certainly goes further than a lot of republicans would like it to go. but there is no doubt this bill is going to save thousands of lives. ahead not next 15 minutes i ll speak with the democratic senator chris coons of delaware, a voice that worked on the deal and one of president biden s top allies. and relief at the pump, that s president biden s goal this afternoon, asking congress to pass a three month federal gas tax holiday, but it s already facing stiff resistance from democrats and republicans. why is that? we ll break it down coming up. and this hour on the hill, roger goodell is testifying virtually before a house committee. what he is telling lawmakers about the league s handling of work place misconduct allegations in the washington commanders franchise. what we are learning about the next hearing for the january 6th committee and the new revelations from the latest one. ali vitali is on capitol hill. and i want to bring in reporter kyle cheney and cha
fraud. why would his new testimony be so crucial? i think, you know, what the committee members have told us is pat cipollone s name comes up at key junctures in all the efforts of donald trump to overturn the election as someone who resisted the most extreme aspects of that plot. yes, he reobjected and threatened to resign over efforts to replace the top leaders of the justice department. he talked about efforts to put forward false members of the electoral college as being illegal and his view that was illegal was communicated to donald trump and other donald trump allies. so his view is crucial for the committee and hearing him say that out loud at a public hearing might be persuasive particularly because he had been on donald trump s side in so many other matters before. i want to ask you about this charles, i was reaching out to
massacre that left 19 children and two teachers dead. today the focus is on mental health and firearms safety you can see that hearing under way as we speak. on tuesday we learned new details about what happened that horrific day and heard condemnation of the police response to the shooting. head of the texas department of public safety described it as a, quote, abject failure. same brock is live from austin with the latest on it. what more, if anything, have we learned new today from that committee? so nothing so far peter that is material to the investigation. there are nine scheduled speakers today. the first seven have to do with mental health. the last two have to do with firearms safety and this right now as the police response to the massacre remains squarely under the microscope. using posters, time lines, and maps. you stop the killing, you stop the dying. reporter: the head of the
investigating january 6th is gearing up for tomorrow s public hearing. the focus how senior leadership in the justice department threatened to resign and how they confronted donald trump in the oval office following his relentless pressure campaign. that detail coming straight from the committee s top republican, liz cheney coming up right here who we expect to hear from tomorrow and what we are likely to learn. plus a big break through on bipartisan gun legislation in the senate. we finally know what is in the compromised bill, 14 republicans joining all the democrats to advance the agreement, putting it on track to pass congress possibly by the end of the this week. this is what senator chris murphy said about what it means for millions of americans. this is the most significant anti-gun violence bill that congress has voted on in 30 years. this bill is a compromise. it doesn t go as far as i would like to go.
suggest they were financing their answers in a way in front of the committee to look less problematic potentially going forward. kyle cheney thank you. ali we ll see you later. charles coleman we appreciate your expertise. thank you for being with us. we re keeping a close eye on austin texas where they re holding another hearing on the school massacre in uvalde. after stunning testimony from a top official who called the police response abject failure. new details about the breakdown in the response. and congress now closer than it has been in nearly three decades to passing new gun legislation. we ll talk to one of the democratic senators behind the deal. you re watching msnbc live. wate ( car crashing ) but if you don t have the right auto insurance coverage, you could be left to pay for all of this. yourself.
