political reasons. key player in the trump hush money probe just met with the manhattan grand jury investigating the former president. appearance at court monday, shrouded in secrecy corroborate a lot of what michael cohen said, and it also could be a very strong response to castelo. people are pleading with the prosecutor. don't do it. don't do it because i didn't do anything wrong. in france demonstrators continuing to protest the government's move to raise the retirement age. many of them entered an airport in southwest france just a short while ago setting off smoke bombs. authorities say around 13,000 police officers will be deployed across the country of european countries, people are feeling the pinch economically. paltrow's accuser took the stand in that skate collision trial hit in my back so hard, never been hit that hard describing a very different version of events thanks to her, i said, you skied

directly into my stepping back and he said, oh, sorry. sorry. i'm sorry. oh and here we go again, sad to say covering the shooting. it's hard. it's heartbreaking, but also not, which is what's really right on. i was just thinking about um, what started sort of this, you know, hope thing of us covering shootings. it was really columbine. remember? april 20th 1999. it seems like forever ago and then not so long ago and then i cannot believe it has been 10 years since newtown. and here we are. nothing is happened. nothing seems to change. except we keep getting more shooting shootings and more students and innocent people just continue to die. children children, so we are tracking, obviously what we saw what happened overnight developments in the natural school shooting. there is new video new dispatch sound. new information about the minutes leading up to the murders of three children and three staff members inside their school. what you're about to see

is disturbing surveillance video that shows the shooter identified as a 28, year old former student arriving at covenant school, which is a small private christian elementary school. the shooter had a handgun in two assault style weapons blasting through the entryway glass doors that was at 10 10 am, and then climbing through. that was just one minute. later okay. the shooter roamed the hallways, eventually taking six innocent lives. the 1st 911 call came in at 10, 13 and 14. minutes later , the shooter was dead also getting brand new information about the moments before the shooting from our affiliate w t , the f a former middle school teammates is that the shooter reached out to her on instagram. minutes before the rampage, the shooter wrote about a plan to die by suicide and said the classmate would see it on the news. part of the message here, okay? and i quote one day this will make more sense i've left behind more than enough evidence behind, but something bad is about to happen. end quote

teammates is that she called police at 10 13 am at that point . the shooting had already begun . the teammate will join us live in just minutes here on cnn this morning, and as we're learning more about what happened before this first. most importantly today we want to remember the victims. because they include the head of the school is substitute teacher custodian and 39 year old children, including halle scruggs. you can see her here. this is a picture from 2019 with her dad, chad scruggs . he's now the lead pastor, covenant presbyterian church. another victim. another nine year old victim was evelyn dick house, tennessee and reports that her sister who was 1/5 grader, cried at last night's vigil, saying, quote i don't want to be an only child. cnn's deborah walker and carlos suarez are both live in nashville camera. we're going to start with you as you're covering the investigation, parts of this story and what more we are learning about what happened before this shooting. we've now got this chilling new video showing the shooter arriving at the campus, which we now know

the shooter knew very well and then what goes from there? what do you say? yeah this video was chilling. so this is the honda fit that police say the shooter audrey hale was driving in the video. you see this car rolling up to the parking lot of covenant school here, which is also housed inside the covenant presbyterian church. what you see in the moments after are extremely disturbing, knowing that there are little children inside the school and, of course about 40 to 50 staff members about 200 students on any given day. this is the shooter shooting down those glass doors of the side entrance of the school. then you see the shooter kick through that glass climb in. the shooter's wearing a red hat, a white shirt, camouflage pants. holding up that are style rifle roaming the hallways, opening doors looking around it

at one point, you see hail, um pointing the rifle in a direction and then walks off. that will happen if you seconds after she walks, the shooter walks back into this hallway. um look, the investigations focus right now, obviously, is the motive. you know? why did the shooter go on this deadly rampage that claimed six lives? metro nashville police say that they do have a theory. as to why this person did such a horrific thing. they're not revealing details of this theory. they did describe audrey hale as a 28 year old female who identifies as transgender and they did say that writings were found, apparently during a search of chris squire hails home aware the shooter live with the parents and also additional writing material found inside

that honda fit. that should give some clues, perhaps to the motive. perhaps there are some grievances written down and there but of course, when this first happened, our main questions were, what is the shooter's connection to the school of any we know now, according to national police that hail attended the school. at some time and apparently knew the campus but still had a map that detailed the entry points of the campus as well. so this is calculated it was thoroughly planned. you saw the pictures of those weapons three weapons that audrey hale was carrying the r style rifle, the air style handgun and one handgun and policing that at least two of those weapons were legally purchased. but again a lot of questions. is about the motive and also, i'm sure questions about whether or not this could have been prevented, knowing that there were calls made to police on monday morning prior just minutes before this deadly

rampage occurred. so that's the shooter. let's talk about the victims. carlos three children, three school staffers killed. what are you learning more about these victims? well don and katelyn polantz. today for this community out here. we were out here last night as the folks who started to show up here to leave behind some teddy bears and flowers to remember the nine to remember the 39 year olds that were killed in the shooting. and as you mentioned coming out to us this morning, we are learning that one of the nine year olds that tied was the daughter of chad scruggs. he is the lead pastor here at the covenant presbyterian. church that, according to his former church, you're taking a look. at a photo of young haley along with her father. they're just an incredibly difficult photo to take a look at. as for the other victims in this shooting, we are talking about evil, and it did

house nine years old haley scrubs again. nine william kenny 93 school staff members that were killed here have been identified as 61 year old. cynthia peak, she was a beloved as substitute teacher here. 60 year old katherine coons. she was the head of school here and 61 year old mike hill, who was a custodian at the school. it appears according to authorities that the shooter here targeted these victims at random, we believe at least according to some of the surveillance video, we have seen that it appears that the shooter may have encountered some of these folks. as the shooter walked and up and down the hallways at this school. guys. just immensely heartbreaking and our thoughts are with all of their families and everyone in that community. and carlos, thank you for being there. thank you very much for that. we're going to turn now to this new information that we have this morning of what

happened in the moments before the mass shooting. at that nashville school former middle school classmate of the shooter says that hail reached out to her 9 57 am just minutes before entering that school. everyone a patent says that hail messaged her on instagram that he'll plan to die by suicide and that she would see it on the news, a message stated one day this will make more sense i've left behind more than enough evidence behind. but something bad is about to happen, and every other patent joins us now, brianna, thank you so much for joining us this morning really appreciate. i know it's tough. i know it's tough. yeah it's you know, i'm i'm not. i'm still trying to process it all. i'm still trying to this. it's just i'm just pray for my city. yeah. how did you know her? listen let me ask you this before, because there's this whole idea about how, um he

or she identified and police have been saying one thing we have not confirmed since. did you know her? well? i knew her well, when we were kids when we were younger, i didn't know the adult andre. i still addressed her as andre. i never anything else. um but, audrey. okay so you address her as aldridge. do you know if she identified or he identified as something else? um i'm starting to see that, um, on social media. i don't know that side of her. i'm just saying, i don't i resonated with andre. that's all i knew. but as i'm watching, and i'm learning more and more, thank you very just for clarification. and look, there's information still coming in yet to be confirmed, and so i just wanted to ask you about that since you had a relationship at one point, so walk us through what happened. then you saw you receive these messages on instagram from hail what happened? so i was at home

. i received the instagram dm. and when i initially saw it, i'm like you know, i'm still working . i'm still like, not really, you know, understanding what's happening right now? um, and so i had explained shot at the message to my dad and i was like this don't seem right ship like do should i say something? he immediately responded. yes um and so i called him and i was like, you know, what would you know? who do i call like people do i do and then he was like start with the suicide prevention lines. so apart them , and they basically was like, what's asking me? was i the person that needed the assistance and i was like, no, but i got the instagram. you know, maybe you guys can reach out and it was just basically like no like the person has to call and then told me to call the deputy like the local liquidy. so um, i google fat number and i called them. and

then they answered and basically was like called 86 to 8600 got them on the line, and i was on hold for maybe, like, seven minutes and i finally got somebody on the phone. and um, i told her, you know, i was trying to tell her what was going on, and they were like, okay, we'll send somebody over to you. nobody ever came. and then maybe i want to say maybe, like an hour and a half later, i received another phone call. and they were saying, okay, we're going to send somebody and i was like, oh, i thought you guys were sending somebody initially. um so i having to leave my home and they called me at 3 29 and was like, hey, we're here. you know they're trying. you know, we're trying to, you know, get the messages. ping the try to paint the location or whatever they could do. um and so. uh when i called i mean, when they called me i wasn't at home, and i was like, hey, you know, i'll be there in about 10 minutes. by the time i got home. the officer

had lived and i called back and they said that they had closed out and they would have to reopen one. and i was just like, well, i mean, i don't know. you know, i was just trying to see if you can help and all of this had transpired. you know the shooting at the time that you were trying to get that help? why you adriana, if you said that you didn't have a relationship. with as you identify as her for a while. why you? why which? why would she send a message to you? um um you know, i am and you know a huge solar. i'm an influencer here and nashville. um i've you know , worked. i worked in radio do news. um she was most recently at my tv show. i mean, i have to give you a direct answer. i'm asking god the same question. yeah she was in a she's a former classmate, right? as she did she reach out to other classmates and again identifying her as she because that's how you identified with her. did she reach out to other classmates?

um i'm not sure if she reached out to other, um people prior, uh when i received it, i actually sent it to my dad and i sent it to another teammate of mine as well. like like, look like what's going on? so, um yeah, i just i don't know. i'm trying to. i guess i could share the time timeline with you guys. ms far as like how that came out, so it 9 57. i received the message from her. um and at 10 08 spent the screenshot to my dad and he instructed me to call the suicide prevention help line and then, um, at 10 13. i called the nashville davidson county sheriff's office. and then at 10 14. i call it the nashville's non emergency line and then at 3 29 is when they said that they were they had came to my home by

the speak with me when you found out what happened every other what did you think? i just i just couldn't believe it like i'm in effect. you know that. i the, you know, i tried to reach out, you know, not even knowing that it was her. i didn't i just i don't know. i don't know. i don't know. wish where she was. you know what? what she was dealing with. i just i don't know. like. and you haven't been able to speak to anyone who knew a family member. anything right? no, i haven't struck looking to anyone. of her family. um the whole world is watching nashville today and watching the reaction to what's going on. what do you say? keep praying

for us and you know, i'm you know, i just want of solution a better way. some bitter protocol to you know to, um, avoid this in the future, you know, i just want to see if it's something that we can do as a community as a city to avoid this, you know, in the future, but just please just keep praying for us, because that's that's you know, you said that are you okay? i want, you know, i'm feel like i'm numb right now. you know, i'm just i'm just like, wow. you know, my heart goes out to the families who were involved in this in this tragedy, you know, i wouldn't even know. you know, i'm my nephew was in at hillsborough down the street. so it's just like you know? just just keep praying. well listen,

you're very strong person to do this. um and you did what you could. and so we appreciate you joining us and we're all thinking about you. thank you so much. you take care of yourself, okay? thank you. adriana patton , um, former teammate in classmate of the shooter. it's just, she says. she's numb. she absolutely did what she could, though. i think that's important to note here. but we gotta do something about this. we can't just keep talking about it. not doing anything and then you know, politicians going back and forth about what something has to be done, and it's got to stop being politicized when it comes to guns. of course, guns are an issue. of course, guns are an issue. mental health is an issue. obviously someone would not do something like this if they did not have a mental health issue, but guess what? they wouldn't do something like this if they didn't have access to guns as well, so we've got to be realistic about it. we have to stop politicizing it because more young people, more people in general will die. and

especially, it's so tragic when you have the young people, but these are the victims. that when you talk about evelyn dick house. halle scruggs, william kenny, cynthia peaks. katherine coons, mike hill, that entire community victimized and we have to do something about it. we'll be right back. cnnnn this mornig brought to you by genre. for more information. . visit for sandra .cocom. remember the this you loved doing before your asthma got in the way. get back sandra is an add on treatment for asthma having too many cinephiles type of white blood cell can cause inflammation and asthma symptoms is designed to target and remove eosinophilic and helps prevent asthma attacks is one dose every eight weeks.

building certificate program, too. today on coursera join for free at coursera .org coursera learn without limits prime time inside the trump investigations live tonight at nine. i was involved in several of these catch and kill episodes. these catching kill. scenarios existed between david pecker and mr trump long before i started working for him in 2007. that was michael cohen, testifying on capitol hill back in 2019, now with a potential indictment of his former client for boss, former president trump looming, david pecker, who was one of the key players in this entire stormy daniels hush money. case,

testified for 90 minutes before the manhattan grand jury on monday. that is, according to a source familiar with the proceeding. pecker is the former publisher, of course of the national enquirer. he's a longtime trump ally who helped broker the hush money payments to stormy daniels back in 2018 peckers company, american media inc admitted that it did participate in what cohen was referring to their these catch and kill schemes to suppress damaging stories about trump. pecker has been granted immunity and the federal investigation in return for his grand jury testimony is now testified twice. joining us now to talk about this is former assistant u. s attorney for the southern district of new york and former deputy attorney general for your new york daniel perry, who previously represented michael cohen. all of those qualifications, of course, make you the perfect person to weigh in on this. you think it's significant that david pecker went and testified for a second time yesterday? what do you think the significance of that is? i do. he had been one of the first witnesses in this grand jury back in january. no doubt

provided substantive testimony about the machinations between himself and cohen, members of the campaign team. so why did they bring him back as obviously the question on everyone's mind and my assumption based on years of experience is that it was as a rebuttal witness following i instead testimony. robert costello, a former attorney for cohen testified. rebuttal to bob costello. that's what i'm assuming. what's interesting there is that the grand jury process. the prosecutors who were presented before the grand jury had michael cohen ready and available outside the grand jury to rebut bob costello, but decided not to. but there must have been some questions. asked by the grand jurors that these prosecutors decided best to answer them before they seek an indictment, and so they brought mr pecker back in. how important you think is testimony is i think it's pretty critical. um, he was one of the few guys in

the room when this all happened , and he can testify that in fact, an already has in a way through his immunity agreement through the nonprosecution agreement that. mr trump knew what this was for, and the purpose was for a workaround on the campaign finance laws that this these catch and kill programs and this hush money hush money payments were made with the express purpose of influencing the campaign. so that's certainly key testimony in this case that would bump this this matter up from a misdemeanor to felony. it's a what we're seeing here with. and i should note trump was on fox news last night, he did an interview with sean hannity. he was talking about bob costello saying that he didn't know him but essentially estimating, in his view, which he doesn't know what bob still said exactly either is that costello's testimony was devastating to what michael cohen has said, essentially pitting these people against each other. we all know michael cohen is questionable witness when it comes to his

credibility. but you believe all of this signals and we put all this together that this is coming to an end. this probe is coming to an end. i think this was almost certainly the last nail in the coffin when the prosecution provides an opportunity for the defendant to provide a defense witness, um that's usually the end of it. they have the opportunity they being the prosecutors are able to call rebuttal witness and that's really it. there's nothing more that needs to happen. so i do think the prosecutors will put this to a vote. you know, it's anyone's guess. when the grand jury is meeting tomorrow could be tomorrow because there's really nothing more to do so as long as they have a quorum of 16 grand jurors tomorrow they can, and i believe likely will put that to a vote. the only caveat to that is, of course, the unusual logistics that are involved in indicting and raining, arresting a former president and the security issues that go with that, in large part of trump's own doing, but so i think, as

soon as they can arrange whether arrest or it seems self surrender, i think that this indictment will come down. you um you said final nail in the coffin. it sounds ominous, but he's what do you mean by now? yeah these prosecutors would not be running through all these paces, calling in a rebuttal witness if they didn't have some confidence in their case if they were not going to put it to a vote, and a new york grand jury is composed of 23 ordinary citizens. only 16 of them are necessary for a quorum. in other words, in order to vote, and only 12 of them. um must vote to indict to return a true bill. so that's not a very high standard . and here it's a pretty one sided. this is by law. it's pretty one sided presentation generally where the prosecutor puts on their best case, i think in this case they put in a defense witness at the defendants or the targets request. and so they, you know,

it's a little more nuanced than usual, but everyone's familiar with the expression that you know, prosecutors couldn't diet a handstand neck sandwich. that's that's not too far from the truth. it's quite it's quite simple, you know, to get a true bill. and so i think all signs point to that if a prosecutor has some premonition some sense whether from juries that jurors questions or because the case didn't come in right. they don't have to put it to a vote, they can actually try and put in more evidence. so that is why you know they're a bunch of baked in reasons why it's quite an easy matter to have a true bill returned. the question is actually securing a conviction to will follow that closely, daniel. thank you for your insight on such an important thing. i learned a lot. thank you very much. i appreciate it. next. we're gonna take you back to nashville, where our coverage is focused this morning. it is a scene of yet another deadly mass shooting in america school shooting at that we're going to talk to a council member about how her community is coping. my

on our top story. three students and three employees of a private christian elementary school in nashville were shot and killed on monday. this photo really says it all. look at it right there. the face of anguish of a little girl on her school bus after unspeakable violence reached her school. something we have seen all too often in this country. this is what we know. at this hour. the shooter was a 28 year old former student of the school police described them as a female to male transgender person. the shooter had detailed maps of the school, including entry points to the building. police say the shooter had a handgun and two a r style weapons, one a rifle and an a r style pistol. police also have writings from the shooter they are reviewing right now, and newly obtained surveillance video shows the attacker shooting through the doors to enter the school, then roaming around the halls. police killed the shooter 14 minutes after the 1st 911 call to bring in now nashville council member at large, sharon hurt councilwoman

. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. good morning. thank you. listen i know it's tough. i hate to ask people how they're doing because i know it's awful. but you went right to the elementary school. you went right to speak to people and to help others here, and i'm sure others are joining in, but it's got to be tough. it absolutely is time just heartbroken said and. outraged at the same time, pretty much the same thing that i saw yesterday when i was there with those who were school, the parents, they teachers, friends family. just so many. this is just just so unfortunate, tragic and you were at that reunification center where so many of these terrified families and parents and loved ones we're

going to make sure it wasn't their child. that was the one that was killed, and unfortunately, we we've been talking about these 39 year old and the three others who were who were killed yesterday. what did you see when you were there at the reunification center? it was just so much emotion on on one side. it was tears and crying and, uh, one holding each other didn't on the other side. i saw people who were outraged and vowing to go to the governor's office and saying that we've got to do something about this. when is enough enough? and i mean, we have a legislature voice who are doing the opposite of providing protection and safety for our children forever. residents, something that they vowed that they would do. space just it's just so heartbreaking. speaking of that. yesterday i'm sure we

all heard the president call on congress to pass assault weapons ban. what do you think our country needs is that is that part of it? is that what you want? oh absolutely just some common sense laws, every mass shooting that we've had has participated in with an assault rifle. i just don't understand. how do we sell assault rifles to, um, an ordinary common person. those are for wars and you as our shooter yesterday was in camouflage is if they were going to war, should we not monitored them? something has to happen. we've got to stop talking, but we've got to do something about these things and common law common sense laws. are absolutely necessary. we've

got to make sure that the end are a lobbyists. uh alright, not directing what happens in as cities in our states, but for our legislators to lower the age when someone came by gun to pass laws that you no longer have to have a permit. it's like we want that the intent is to kill. and that has to stop. when are we gonna get angry enough to do something? yeah we heard those calls from president biden. but i mean the reality on the ground in washington is congress is divided as ever, and unlikely to pass anything. councilwoman cheryl sharing hurt. thank you very much. i know that. that was a lot for you to see yesterday. i know we'll be having this conversation a lot going forward. so thank you for your time this morning for joining us. well, let me just say i just left the national league of cities. and they were talking about this. we've got to do something. uh, you're right

prince harry. you and elton john are part of a larger group of high profile figures who claims the media company engaged in what they call quote, abhorrent criminal activity and gross breaches of privacy and its efforts to obtain dirt on celebrities. cnn's max foster joins us now live from london, max. i mean, we're seeing the case that they're making. the question, i think is realistically are they going to be successful? is this going to change anything? i mean, we know how notorious the media is in london. this is very much part of the story, particularly for prince harry. i think the reason he's going to court every day, as you say, is there against day is to show his support for this case. seven high profile individuals exposed the practices that he says he's been exposed to all of his life and hoping to show that other people if they suffered in the same way will get some sort of justice here. so he's accusing along with seven others, including elton john and liz hurley. for example, the associated newspapers of invading his

privacy in a major way, paying off police to get information getting medical information planting bugs, tapping phones as well. and harry released a statement of ours lawyers yesterday saying that the papers that effectively deprived him of important aspects of his teenage years. these were stories about his girlfriend, for example, getting into newspapers he thought his friends were leaking those stories, and he stopped speaking to them, push them out of his life and the whole time, he says it was actually bugs and phone tapping that the was the source of those stories. associated newspapers just while i'm here, of course, denying all of this this is just a preliminary hearing and the judge will decide whether or not will go to trial. so we find out on thursday. you know, we could have major implications. major implications. thank you. max foster appreciate that. so the house speaker kevin mccarthy, saying he is moving forward on legislation to ban tiktok. but will other lawmakers get on

year, says he believes republicans are running out of runway. there's not much room left when it comes to this, he told cnn's manu raju quote. i would say we've gone about as far as we can go unless somebody identifies some area that we didn't address for. the president just keeps coming back to the same old tired talking points had said president biden is not offering any new solutions or ideas. if he does, i think we should consider them, but so far i have not heard anything. so joining us now for reaction to those comments and more white house press secretary karine jean pierre thank you so much for being her this morning. we'll get to senator cornyn's comments in a moment, but i know president biden has spoken to the governor of tennessee, the mayor of nashville. what did he tell them? well per usual when the president has these very difficult conversation, he shares his heartfelt um, uh, sadness to what they're going through, offers up assistant in any way that we can as the investigations go through, but it is always a difficult conversation. as you know, the

president is known to be a consoler in chief, and he takes that very seriously. and i just want to add as we're talking about this at the top. here. our hearts go out to the families. and the friends of these families who lost loved ones again. another devastating, heartbreaking day that we saw at this time it happened in nashville, tennessee, and again . our message here is very, very clear. enough is enough. we need to see action in congress. well the president called for that action yesterday, calling on them to pass the assault weapons ban that he wants to see but cream. you know, washington as well as i do you know that right now, that is more unlikely than ever to happen because democrats controlled both chambers of congress. nothing was passed, so it's incredibly unlikely it's going to happen now with republicans in charge of the house. well look, what we saw yesterday was a family's worst nightmare, which is what the president said a family's worst nightmare. and when you hear

when you hear elected officials say it's another talking point when the president is saying that we need to do more that's actually devastating to hear as well because that's what you're also saying to those families who lost loved ones to those parents who lost 39 year olds. they lost their kids yesterday, and that's what we're saying. we should not be saying there's nothing else to do. we should be trying to figure out what else there can be. there can be to do and let me just say this really quickly. katelyn polantz has taken more executive actions than any president in the first two years of his administration, making sure that we deal with this real epidemic of gun violence that we're seeing in our streets that we're seeing in our schools that we're seeing in grocery stores that we should not be happening these weapons of war that are in those very places, churches. that's what we're seeing. and so the president's going to continue to speak out. he just did an executive action earlier this month and just not forget we for the first time in 30 years we saw the safe communities act put into place. the president signed

that act that he pushed forward a bipartisan piece of legislation that he signed this past summer and that is what we want to continue to see, as you know, caitlyn. we can't do this alone. the president can't do this alone. that's how government works. congress needs to take legislative action. that's what the president said at the state of the union, and that's what the president said yesterday. john cornyn, you know , as you know, as a member of senate gop leadership, he was a key negotiator on that gun safety package that was passed last year. he's the one who is saying here that we referring to congress have gone as far as we can go. are you saying that that he's wrong when he says that we're saying that there's more that can be done. and look, we appreciate the bipartisanship that we saw on the safe, safer communities act. that was something that was a step forward and again. we worked very closely with those members , but we need to do more katelyn polantz. for hours ago. we have to do more. we have to make sure there are common sense

gun safety laws. we have to make sure that we ban assault weapons. that is something that we saw 30 years ago when the president was a senator, and he led that effort and we saw we saw gun violence go down because of the actions that he took once that once that once that band sunset we saw we saw gun violence go up almost three times. so we know what works. we know what can be done here. and so we cannot accept this anymore, caitlin. this is this is not acceptable. enough is enough. we need to take action and again, the president has taken historic executive actions . now it's time for congress to act and continue to act to build on what they were able to do over the summer. given that do you think president biden will personally call any of these congressional republicans with that message? well look, the president said that message yesterday he said it at the state of the union. he said it many times before at the bully pulpit, but not only that we

have we have been working with congressional members on this for some time having conversations with their staff, having conversations directly with those members, so this is not something that is just happening today. katelyn polantz . this time to show some courage here it is time for republicans in congress to show um, congress courage and to answer to these parents to these families. there's a poll out there believe a political poll 63% of americans that's majority of americans want to see action on gun violence, want to see measures that is going to keep their families and their communities safe? that's majority of americans, the things that i'm laying out the assault bends weapons. banning assault, assault weapons. that is something that majority of americans want to see. so that's who they're working for. that's who they need to speak to an answer to. but since the reality on the ground in washington is that right now, that is not

going to pass. it's just not. that's just what you see on capitol hill. are there any other executive orders in the pipeline? anything that the white house is considering taking next? well like i said e present has taken historic actions, historic executive actions he just did one recently earlier this month, when we went out west and we announced we went to go to monterey park, another community that was riddled with violence, gun violence when the president went there to announce to announce his his latest executive action and also again be a concern. consoler in chief to that community, so we're always going to look for other actions that we can take. but how government works katelyn polantz. the hill . we cannot do this alone. we need we need congress to act. we need them to build on what we saw them do with this bipartisan action that the president signed the safer communities act over the summer. we need to build on that we have to have to ban assault rifles. cream jean

pierre from the white house. thank you for your time this morning. thank you. and it just moments we're going to be joined by one of those officials in tennessee that president biden spoke with last night. that's the mayor of nashville, john cooper. this morning, the house speaker kevin mccarthy, says lawmakers will be moving forward with controversial tiktok legislation as calls to ban the app in the u. s are growing. last week, lawmakers from both parties grill tiktok ceo for about five hours over national security concerns. he denied that the app shares americans data with the chinese government said in sunlen serfaty. joins us now with more sun and good morning to you. how far could this legislation go? well interestingly here, don the speaker did not specify what specific piece of legislation he's referring to, and there are many competing proposals on capitol hill, including potentially forcing the sale of the company to an all out ban that many lawmakers have been talking about, but notably the speaker. in the past, he has

said he would support a ban on the company and this tweet that he sent out really increasing the urgency that he clearly wants to bring after that. its committee hearing last week that the ceo mccarthy saying it's very concerning that the ceo of tiktok can't be honest and admit what we already know to be true . china has access to tiktok use your data, the house will be moving forward with legislation to protect americans from the technological tentacles of the chinese communist party. now there is, of course, bipartisan concern and bipartisan calls for action that something significant action needs to be done to change the way this company. operates the question. of course dot is what form does that ultimately take? and there certainly will be a lot of debate on capitol hill. for example, congresswoman koziol cortez sending out a tiktok video, saying that she believes a ban would put the cart before the horse here and she supports rather a larger issue of looking into whole scale data. privacy

issues. alright simon, we'll be watching. thank you very much for that this morning continues right now. so kids coming out holding hand in hand. i saw officers coming out bleeding as awe. just raleigh motion. had officers tell me they weren't sure if they could do this anymore after carrying kids out of the building, it was just a tough, tough scene. that is the nashville police chief, weighing in on the devastating scene that we all saw yesterday coming out of nashville. good morning, everyone. poppy is off. john and i are here as you heard there from the police chief. he's describing a horrifying scene played out at an elementary school in his city yesterday for 39 year olds and three school staffers were murdered. overnight police released new
