Well f, i got to tell you, tucker, it fooled the democrats, robert garcia and jasminwith ue crockett thate along with us because they praised the jail after we left in there and their press conferences and praised the wardens sinc. ress they dido hit i guess since they re so new in congress, they didn t ja know the history that this jail has. and how many democrats i n washington don t like the jaily either. the fact thatis anybodyld w is being helitd without even t a trial yet over two yearsous to later is shocking to our conscience. to the democrats inee the delegation seemed stunned by that. it doesn t seened. m like an american thing to do. no, they didn t care at all as a matter of fact, they criticize us for talking with the pretrial jury, six defendants and being friendly with them. but you know what?e we wouldta havlke talked to the other inmates and defendants that were in the jail in otheroi f areas if they had given us a chance. you see, it was interesting.at the director
Leaders come together and mouth words and do nothing. it s too late to prevent the last shooting. we re already failed those victims and families. we need to act to prevent the next shooting. we need to identify the risks and threats and finally do something. joining us now is senator dick durbin of illinois, the democratic whip and chair of the judiciary committee as well f. you can tells e tell us these bipartisan conversations going on between senators? we ve issued an invitation, a good faith invitation for republicans to join ug in a conversation. the big question is this, is uvalde, texas, the tipping point? is this what we have been waiting for? we had so many opportunities. we looked at the high school in florida, the grade school in connecticut. you think that is so outrageous, we cannot fail to do something
The earth is flat, which it is not. he s also the guy who bought a house for the family of george floyd when the nba was bringing the culture back in its pandemic-proof bubble. he was boycotting that. here we are with kyrie now, a member of the nba players union executive committee, and they want no part of this vaccine mandate from the league. which leaves us with america s most progressive sports league kind of in trouble, kind of in the corner. here are america s most progressive cities then, saying, okay, well f, if you want to ho , you have to be evacuavaxed. kyrie is going to say, well, maybe i won t play at home. the deal is again, there is no vaccine mandate for nba players. they don t have to be vaccinated. but in new york city and san francisco, where the golden state warriors play, new york city where the nets play and the new york knicks, you ve got to be vaccinated to be inside
Trillion? you don t get to 30 points in popularity without a couple west virginiians, going home and saying, i fought for you to get less. he can say, i stood up to the democratic party. that s his calling card at this point, standing in the way. i don t think that s true. i love batna. what i think west virginia needs is infrastructure investment. they have three times the structurally deficient bridges than the national average, right? their state needs a lot of this because they also have they re the sixth in terms of poverty. one of every five children are living in poverty in west virginia. west virginia could use this bill. what joe manchin doesn t want is to say, i signed off on an unprecedented smorgasbord of spending, because it violates his values as he sees them. there is a way to bet to yes here, to extend the metaphor. there is. guess what? the 3.5 number is probably going to come down a bit. democrats are going to need to figure out how they can get things passed
However, this event is something that we have not experienced in our lifetimes. officer hodges, i read your testimony carefully. i hope every american reads your testimony, but i noted that you referred to terrorists or terrorism 15 different times to describe the people who were assaulting officers, dragging them through the crowd, stealing their weapons, smashing them over the head and gouging eyes and so on. however, our colleagues have been calling the violent insurrectionists not terrorists, but tourists. why do you call the attackers terrorists and what do you think about our colleagues who think we should call them tourists? well f that s what american tourists are like i can see why foreign countries don t like american tourists.
