thanks for spending time with us on "the beat with ari melbur". >> thank you have a wonderful evening. good evening, everyone. we have a lot to get to in the next hour. including new subpoenas that from the january 6th committee. first, let's talk about something that matters to all of us, especially those of us blessed to be parents, our children. in recent years, we've spent a lot of time listening to outrage to conservative parents screaming about what masks are doing to their kids. we heard them complain that michelle obama's biography should be banned because it

promotes reverse racism or demanding that "mouse" a book about the holocaust or lgbtq kids be banned because they make them uncomfortable and videos of right wing parents at school board meetings. >> no mask mandates, my child, my children will not come to school on monday with a mask on. all right? that's not happening. and i will bring every single gun loaded and ready. >> to many kids this content is shocking and confusing and even disgusting to them and honestly, i feel like it should be to you, too. >> we're desperately trying to defend our kids from ideologies that seek to divide them rather than unify them. that's why we're fighting crt and equity practices. >> of course, the supposed grass roots efforts in square quotes aren't really grass roots. never are. as we mentioned before on the

show, they're driven by strategists, activists and think tanks for actually ideas looking to get out the republican vote by fans deep, deep concern about the kids. >> we also have to protect people and protect our kids from some very ideologies that are forced upon them. >> it's tragic to watch what happened across this country. we have kiddos now that don't know life without masks. >> a question. where is that same energy for these actual dangers to our kids? >> this is an nbc news special report with lester holt. >> good day, we're coming on the air from new york with word of a school shooting at an elementary school in connecticut. there are apparently many casualties.

breaking news tonight, it's happened again. another deadly mass shooting at an american high school. this time in florida. tonight, from santa fe, texas, it is happened again. another massacre at an american high school. this country's latest deadly school shooting at a high school north of detroit. federal authorities investigating bomb threats made at more than a dozen historically black colleges and universities. >> all these republicans who are claiming to be so concerned about the kids, ron desantis was an incoming freshman congressman when sandy hook happened. where was his concern then? and you know what is tragic? the kids across the country have no idea what it's like to go to school without the prospect of an active shooter showing up. i, for one, am eagerly awaiting legislative proposals, other than thoughts and prayers that address this urgent threat to our kids since you care so much about protecting the children. and i know when you folks want to do something, you do it.

take for example these other republicans who want to trigger the libs. you remember these pictures representative lauren boebert. how does school mass murders in matching outfits protect the children? do you leave those firearms laying around the house where the kids can get to them? maybe, just maybe if republicans cared about the kids, they could muster the courage to pass a new assault weapons ban like the one joe biden got passed in 1994. the assault weapons ban that republicans allowed to expire. unfortunately, for actual accountability, parents and kids are on their own when it comes to school shootings. except that today for the first time in american history a gun maker is actually facing consequences for a school shooting. with the families of the 2012 sandy hook elementary massacre reaching a $73 million settlement with gun maker

remmington. the company that manufacturers the ar-15. it's hard to over state how big of a deal this actually is. gun makers are generally shielded from liability due to laws passed just for them. but these families found a work around arguing the gun makers sales and marketing practices violated connecticut's state law. the complaint argued that remmington's marketing promoted the image of the a.r. 15s as combat weapons used for the purpose of waging war and killing human beings. and that it targeted high risk users in particular. you know, like the teenage gunman that killed those kids at sandy hook. moments ago, president biden applauded the decision and urged other victims to follow suit saying quote, this progress is the result of a perseverance of nine families that turned tragedy into purpose and demonstrated state and city consumer protection laws provide

an opportunity to hold gun manufacturers and dealers accountable for wrongdoing despite the persistence of the federal immunity shield for these companies. and joining me now is ceo of sandy hook promise who lost her 6-year-old son dylan in the sandy hook shooting and glen kushner, former federal prosecutor. thank you very much for being here. i want to start with you ms. hockley. condolences mean nothing. i'm a mom. i'll try to get through this without bursting into tears talking to you. i want to congratulate you-all for staying in the fight. the thing i found interesting about the way you did this fight is you guys weren't backed down by the fact the immunity laws protect gun manufacturers but no, the way you marketed it and asked for something important. you wanted the records, the internal records. please tell us about that. >> well, the records are what is going to help create change.

i think by bringing public awareness to the thinking behind the sales and marketing strategies, why they were using these images of you can't be a man unless you have an ar-15 and how they were targeting people. this will create change. i mean business practices. it not going to stop the manufacturer of firearms. that wasn't the purpose of the lawsuit but ensure they were more accountable and responsible for the way they market these products because these are, we need to be thinking about safety when we talk about who we're marketing and who is buying these firearms. >> yeah, let's show one of them. this is an ad, you know, one of the ads -- there it is. consider your man card reissued. it's not just the fact they're doing them. you know, it's the fact they're doing them and saying having this is a way to have your man card reissued. if you're a young man that's troubled and feeling, you know, whatever anxieties are related

to sort of your masculinity, et cetera, this is marketing to you. is that the argument you're making? >> absolutely and we look at some of their other marketing campaigns even where they're encouraging people to turn in their friends under the banner jeffrey is a crier so anyone showing any sort of femininity perhaps, let's get them an ar-15. they use terms about military wannabes. this is who they're marketing to and the insight they were using. on one hand it's brilliant marketing because it's tapping into the psychology but the recklessness and irresponsibility, that needs to be held accountability and because they thought they were immune, they thought they could get away with it. that changed today. >> glenn, this was the now lieutenant governor of virginia, you know, this is a -- it is used now as almost an accessory by conservatives to say a certain thing about them. this woman is a military

veteran. she's supposed to understand and respect firearms but she's using it as a way to say something about herself, right? to say i'm one of you, it a cultural item. you know, the firearms industry is really very tactical, you know, if there are incidents let's say of, you know, a major case comes up, they market pink guns and say hey, women, put that in your purse. they're targeting ways to expand the sales and the nra are there to boost gun sales and they are a capitalist enterprise but okay. what do you make of the fact these parents found a way around these special loopholes that protect the firearms industry? >> yeah, joy, this settlement is really important for a number of reasons. first of all, a settlement in a civil suit is generally not any kind of precedent. it is certainly not legal precedent but, you know, this one is what i would call

atmospheric precedent because i do think it's going to encourage other families who lost loved ones to gun violence to consider bringing suits against gun manufacturers. so you know, there was also a little piece of legal precedent that came out of this case as you mentioned back in 2005, there was a federal law put on the books specifically to protect gun manufacturers against being held accountable when their weapons were used for mass destruction. and as you say, these litigants found a way around it. in 2019, during the pending of this case, the supreme court refused to step in and put a stop to this litigation so i think this is atmospheric precedent that should encourage more victims of crime and their families to consider bringing these suits against gun manufacturers and there is at least a little slice of legal

precedent supporting a litigant's ability to do that. as they worship with unrestricted gun rights, there have to be tools to combat this and this settlement now provides one of those tools. >> and i think to be clear, like, the idea isn't to say, you know, that anyone who owns firearms is a terrible person. it's saying that the way the marketing is done. the video games property is enhanced by the regular ar-15s in video games like the call of duty series and the presence in action movies a. gun industry trade magazine advised gun shop owners to be aware that many new buyers are coming to the rifles through their love of violent video games. to come back to you, ms. hawkly,

would you like to see something done by the gaming industry, which is super popular, my kids are gamers. they love it. to sort of also kind of be in on saying look, if you're a troubled kid and using these games as a way to sort of work out something that might become really violent, is there something you think that industry could do to maybe be more helpful or what would you like to see done beyond the company's like the bankrupt remmington? >> the gaming community is a very important social community and i think there is a lot of opportunity for that community to lean in and help each other out and perhaps, that's through revising product placement and how they help each other through these things. some go to the gaming community because that's where they feel included however, at risk individuals are learning how to shoot specific guns very appropriately, that is where i think the gaming community can

make a difference and i'd love to see them lean into this and also take responsibility and be responsible to users and kids here. >> glenn, obviously, there are shoot them up movies and video games. these things existed forever. this isn't causing people to be different. there is something about american society that is violent encouraing and i don't know how that is and how we fix it. should industries look at this lawsuit and say ut oh because if the idea is that the promotion of violence itself becomes something litigateble, should other industries be thinking about the way they're operating in product placement and things like that? >> yeah, i think part of the problem is and you put your finger on it, joy, there are politicians who are running around, you know, accessorizing with firearms and i don't know

what view of the world that is appropriate and the message it sends. the supreme court is generally expanding the second amendment right to bear arms so we probably can't look to the supreme court to cut that kind of thing back but what we can look to is the profit margin of the gun manufacturers, remmington is now basically defunct because of this $73 million payout and when you can make it not profitable for the gun manufacturers to pump out these deadly assault weapons, nobody is trying to ban shotguns or pistols for target practice but assault weapons if you can make it not profitable, maybe you can have an impact. >> yeah, final question to you. frank who lost his beautiful daughter jamie in the shooting in parkland, not far from where my kids grew up in florida. he said four years ago my

beautiful daughter jamie was killed by a gunman. she was likely reading a book. they are banning books and making it easier to get guns. less books and more active shooter drills. a twitter post replied with a cartoon originally made in 2016. i want for you to speak for this community because covering violence, these become communities. these become fraternities and sororities not of choice. to speak from your community,, the sandy hook community, what can we do as a society to be better and make things better for you guys? >> you know, i think the important thing is to lean in and not be afraid to use your voice and speak up. too many of us in this community have only become active in gun violence prevention because of

the lose of someone we hold dearly. no parent can nearly imagine what it's like to lose your child under these circumstances. it is impossible to fathom. all i can say is you don't want to be part of this community. it's not a pain you want to live with every day no matter where you live or your experience in life but if you lean in and be part of the solution and lean in and take action, speaking with your kids, working with them, working with your community, there is hope and we're just pulling every lever we can to create a safer future and it's something we can all be part of. >> indeed. i think we as a community, "the reidout" community are proud of you. thank you for all you do to advocate, nicole hawkly of sandy hook promise, god bless you and thank you for all you do and your family. glenn kushner is sticking

around. i'll get through the rest of the show without crying. the january 6th committee involving the phony elector scheme, plus. >> if russia does invade in the days and weeks ahead, the human cost for ukraine will be immense. a strategic cross for russia will also be immense. >> president biden puts russia on notice and prepares the people for the economic fallout here at home if russia invades ukraine. ilhan omar joins me on the fight against no knock warrants in the aftermath of the killing of amir locke. selling mementos of misconduct and no, we're not talking about trump.

the january 6th committee

issued subpoenas that in the scheme to send fake trump electors to congress among them is election day operations michael roman who according to the committee managed the effort to appoint fake electors and include mark finchim running for secretary of state in arizona and the gop chairwoman kelly ward who acted as a fake elector. it's the latest sign of progress from the select committee that interviewed more than 500 witnesses but while they're working, they are up against the big lie that continues to threaten free and fair elections in this country. case in point, is when tina peters a 2020 election denialest and conspiracy theorists who today announced she's running for secretary of state in colorado, peters is currently the clerk of mesa county where she stands accused of pulling off an inside job basically that compromised the county's voting infrastructure. peter was sued for allowing an unauthorized individual to

update the county's voting system that resulted in public disclosure of staid guarded passwords. those passwords were then used by an unknown parties to access the equipment. peters claims the breach was really an effort to back up the system but a judge prevented her from overseeing local elections last year. there is also an ongoing criminal investigation. this is the person who now wants to oversee elections for the whole entire state of colorado. oh, and did i mention that peters was arrested for obstructing a search warrant in an unrelated investigation into whether she illegally recorded a court hearing. a police body camera shows she wasn't exactly corporative while being detained. here are two short excerpts from the longer video. >> let go of me! oh, no. let go of me! it hurts. let go of me! >> do not resist.

down? >> let go of me. >> stop pulling against us. >> i'm not pulling against you. let go of me. >> stand up like an adult. >> shut up. what an [ bleep ] thing to say to me. >> interestingly enough, she was neither tased nor thrown to the ground or worse. funny how that work for the some people who argue with police in america. she participate in a town hall forum, she's one of dozens if not hundreds of similar candidates seeking crucial state offices that would have the power distort the counts. with me now advisor to the dnc and dccc and glen kushner back with me. this is interesting. somebody like -- >> oh my god. >> it really literally is the fox of saying put me in charge. things will be fine. your thoughts? >> oh, joy, i'll tell ya, the

first thing that did stand out to me is wow, if she were not white, i don't think she would have been standing very long on that interaction with the -- this is the party of law and order. let's remember that. they respect police of course. this is exactly the danger of what january 6th has precipitated on the rest of the country going forward. this is someone unfit to be in office. this is someone just last week was at a meeting of a known militia group that applauded for the death of her opponent the current secretairy of state jena griswold where the "denver post" said the secretary of state should have the same security detail. it's the natural conclusion of the type of rhetoric we're seeing from the right. it will lead to violence. it will lead to threats. it will lead to an unsafe and unstable situation where elections will no longer be a violent free situation. that is incredibly dangerous and there are 22 secretary of state

races going on in 2022 and every single one of those is pivotal because republicans have a plan. there is a reason why this lunatic announced her candidacy on steve bannon's podcast and steve bannon called her a hero on that very podcast, someone that breaks laws and unfit to even oversee the jurisdiction she currently has. this is a dangerous situation and we need to pay attention through the under ballot races. >> i am curious, glenn, very quickly before i talk subpoenas that but it is legal to run for office while you're currently under criminal investigation? i guess that's okay to do? >> there is no prohibition if you're under investigation. the problem here, joy, the big lie is part and parcel of the big crime. the big lie is the election was stolen. the big crime is a conspiracy to commit an offense against the united states by corruptly overturning the election's results because nobody has been held accountable for the big lie, which fueled the big cry.

that gives permission to all of the little liars out there to continue to spout the big lie hoping to fool the gullible and win their elections. so telling the lie in isolation is not necessarily criminal but when donald trump and mo brooks and rudy giuliani and john eastman and don junior told the big lie on january 6th that your vote has been stolen, you need to go down there, kick you know what and take names, fight like hell or you won't have a country anymore, go down there and stop the certification of the election, that big lie was a crime because it was inciting the insurrection and here is the thing, joy, unless and until the department of justice brings charges against somebody other than the foot soldiers who donald trump set on the capitol to stop the certification, we're going to have the little liars

running around the country telling the big lie and they're going to do it with immunity. the minute charges come to the command structure of the insurrection, i predict all of the little liars will shut their mouths because now they'll see there are consequences to continuing to tell the big lie and that's what we're still all waiting for some accountability. >> yeah, indeed. let's go through subpoenas that. this is one. this is for trump's director of election operations michael roman and the select committee says they're in possession of contact republican members of state legislatures in certain states and urge them to quote reclaim their authority by sending an alternate slate of electors to support trump. the subpoena to laura cox the former chair of the michigan republican party says you will reportedly a witness when rudy giuliani pressured state lawmakers to disregard election results in michigan and when he said that certifying the election result would be a

criminal act and this is mark finchem running for secretary of state in arizona, he tweeted the real insurrection was run by the sitting secretary of state. let's go through what the subpoenas that mean quickly. if you're starting now to get to the -- it seems like we're in the repeat phase where it's clear the conspiracy involved pretending that you could send this alternate slate and seat that one instead of the real one. would it be a crime for somebody to be such an elector, a fake elector? because it doesn't seem lake that in and of itself is illegal. it is? >> i can quote michigan state's attorney general who said the state electors committed crimes. they committed federal crimes, which is why a number of state a.g.s have referred them to the feds for criminal investigation and possible prosecution but they also violated state law. now, i happen to believe that these crimes are most appropriately handled by the feds by the department of

justice but if we don't start to see some movement, there is nothing precluding the state authorities, you know, from digging in and bringing charges against these fake electors. you can't certify that you are the duly appointed elector and you are authorized by law to cast your vote for the loser of the election without having criminal responsibility for violating election laws. so yeah, looks like now the house select committee is working its way kind of up the chain or at least to one of the spokes of the conspiracy and, you know, this is taking things to the next level. >> yeah. and curt, you know, the danger of course here is what a lot of these states are doing is trying to make it legal and pass laws that say, you know, well, if we're not happy with the results, the election will be authorized to change them and we don't have a supreme court inclined to stay in the way. the worry is somebody advising committees on the democratic side, how deep is the worry

these laws will stand because the supreme court lets them and the people who did this and it's criminal now will do it again in 2024 let's say and it not be illegal by state law? >> yeah, i think this is why we're seeing like at the dnc jaime harrison authorized a $20 million investment in the 2022 midterms. that's a significant amount of money being spent in what is technically an off year election for something like the dnc that usually focuses on the president and president's reelect. these races, these situations are vital to the health of democracy. we can't afford to sit two years out and wait for the presidential. i think i said there were 22 secretary races, there are 27. when you look at the states in play, arizona, georgia, kansas, nevada, colorado, these are all states that have a real impact on what might happen in 2024 and now the republicans are trying to play the game as you said to legalize their illegal activity

and if that happens, we have got to be ready with as many resources as possible to get the secretary of states, these attorney general candidates across the board, across the finish line so we have a fair and free election. >> yeah, don't skip the secretary of state box on that ballot. you have to vote all the way down the ballot. curt, glenn, thank you very much. president biden warns a russian invasion of ukraine and the resulting sanctions on russia could have a significant impact on us here at home. stay with us. a significant impact on us here at home. stay with us

ever. president biden made a plea for diplomacy with the crisis at the ukrainian border. tens of thousands of russian troops stoked fears russia could push into ukraine but vladimir putin said his country decided to partially withdrawal some troops gathered near ukraine and denied wanting to invade. president biden had not confirmed military troops are not returning to home bases but remain very much in a threatening position. here is more of what the president had to say. >> as long there is hope of diplomatic solution to avoid the use of force and avoids human suffering to follow, we'll

pursue it. an invasion remains distinctly possible. russia and the united states share for global stability for the sake of our common future to choose diplomacy but let there be no doubt if russia commits this breach by invading ukraine, responsible nations around the world will not hesitate to respond. >> joining me now is columnist for "the daily beast" and hope of the deep state radio podcast and editor at large at "news week" and a former fbi double agent. it does appear that whatever it is that president biden is doing, you know, just sort of blasting out like every possible thing that russia could do releasing intelligence, sort of taking away their element of surprise as one of my producers said, it appears that it's working. i mean, it does look like a russia walk back. what are you seeing? >> well, we don't know whether it's a russia walk back.

certainly, putin saying that he's going to deescalate is a little bit of hope in it but he said that before and he hasn't done it. he actually did the opposite. we're going to have to stop and see does he pull back? how many troops does he pull back? how far does he pull back? kind of capabilities does he limit at the border and does he really embrace the option of diplomacy? but, you know, putin has discovered that he has an opponent on the other side and joe biden and in nato that is one step ahead of him that is unified, that is, you know, responding forcefully on the security side, that is leaving open the diplomacy side. today he spoke to the russian people. he addressed the concerns of the american people. they've gained this out and, you know, as far as this has played out so far, you know, it certainly looks like the west is ahead of the game and putin

doesn't have many very good options. >> you and i talk about this a lot. we can keep having what does putin want conversation and psycho analyze him all day long. it's a fascinating conversation. rational mind says you doesn't have a powerful economy. the west is standing up to you, what do you have to gain? right? it's hard to imagine what he would have to gain by taking on those sanctions. yes, there would be economic pain on our side, which president biden did say if this happened, you know, there would be economic pain, oil prices could spike. it's hard to see what putin would gain from further invading ukraine. your thoughts? >> yeah, i agree. i think that there is a reality, which is putin master manipulator. he knows how to manipulate everyone including the western press. i think what he's seeing is that the united states is what he's always felt, look, when i dealt with the russians, the cold war for them never ended. when they landed in jfk and got

off the flight, they were behind enemy territory. this is the way they think. what they'll look at, the united states going forward is this idea the more you can harm the united states, the easier it is for russia to act unilaterally. biden did a tremendous job rallying some strength here to push back on russia to get the idea of sanctions so really speak to vladimir putin to make the cost of doing this at least right now pretty high, he wasn't willing to pay for it. i worry there is an election coming up in 2024. i worry while biden released and made very clear about this false flag operation, i think americans don't understand how active the russians are here in the united states and how vulnerable our democracy is to them and how much they seek to use asymmetric warfare to harm us and make it harder to be that check to russian expansion and frankly whether putin invades ukraine or not, that danger will exist as long as he is the

president of russia. >> yeah, i mean, there is aeaie digital media and investment related media in the u.s. it's pretty extensive. david, you know, one of the things putin does appear to be doing is tit for tat increasing his fear of influence our hem spare saying i'll increase back to cuba and venezuela. is that a psychological tit for tat where he says if you play in my sphere of influence, i'll play in yours? >> he is threatening europe and he is the aggressor. we're not moving towards him. we are maintaining lines that have existed for a long time. i think he's reliving a sort of soviet fantasy that he's got,

you know, i mean, remembers the cuban missile crisis and thinks, well, we can reach out to the venezuelans or play footsey with the president of brazil but the reality of course is that's not going to take. he's got an economy the size of italy. it's not doing very well. his generals don't like his plan in ukraine. there is a democracy movement. there is a navalny trial going on now. he's got a lot of issues at home and while i agree with the assessment russia is going to be a threat to us for as long as putin is in charge, i think the one thing that we can take away from this crisis is that he is galvanized the west again, they know he's a threat, and they are going to be mobilized against it and leery of it for the foreseeable future. >> yeah. hopefully he will get it.

ukrainians don't want you, man. they like where they are. they want to be part of europe. get over it. thank you both very much. still ahead, lawmakers are taking a closer look at no knock warrants after the killing of amir locke in minnesota. ilhan omar is working on legislation restricting the use of the warrants and joins me next. we'll be right back. of the warrants and joins me next next we'll be right back. relief in y bite. crunchy outside, chewy inside. ♪ tums, tums, tums, tums ♪ tums chewy bites wondering what actually goes into your multi-vitamin? at new chapter its innovation organic ingredients and fermentation. fermentation? yes, formulated to help your body really truly absorb the natural goodness.

when bipartisan police reform negotiations fell apart, a sticking point was the police's use of no knock warrants, those allow police to barge into residents unannounced. breonna taylor was killed by police during a botched raid in her apartment in 2020 and most recently used in the death of 22-year-old amir locke who was shot by police nine seconds

after they broke in. ilhan omar will introduce legislation in his name. ilhan omar joins me now. congresswoman, explain your legislative idea, what would it do and what would it change? >> well, it's great to be here with you, joy. the legislation is to strict and ban no knock warrants. we're actually engaging in a process to try to have a conversation with the judiciary comities both in the house and senate, talk to legal experts to try to make sure we have legislation that can be prenegotiated so it does have the chance of passing and saving lives. >> so that is the key, right? the chance of passing and saving lives. the house proved at passing progressive and important legislation that would help a lot of people and goes to the senate to die. what is the strategy to ensure

that this piece of legislation can actually either get through with, you know, some special procedure, which certain senators said they never want to use for anything except for cutting taxes of rich people or getting 60 votes. >> well, you know, i mean, a lot of people already think the no knock warrants and raids are unconstitutional. they not only lead to property damage, trama but often are deadly and take lives. there is a big effort by a lot of people in congress that have tried to work on policy in this regard and i think that we have an opportunity to have these conversations and introduce legislation that will ultimately guarantee no lives are taken and no judges are issuing these no

knock warrants. >> i know there are issues that cross partisan lines like property seizure, which some members of the united states senate and house oppose, things like that. on this particular bill, would this bill make no knock warrants de facto there is conversation about, you know, whether there should be exceptions if evidence could be destroyed or if law enforcement can actually make the case that there will be bodily harm to them or others on the premise if they did do a knock. and so, these are the conversations that we are having to make sure that any legislation that we introduce, not only serves the purpose of constitutionally protecting

people's lives and saving lives, but also can pass, you know, any sort of complications it might eventually lead to in the courts. as you know, there are legislation that was introduced in the senate by people like ron paul and others that outright ban it. they have not had folks in support of that legislation. and so what we are trying to do with the support of amir locke family, with breonna taylor's family and others is to introduce legislation that can have a broad support and ultimately can do what it needs to do in saving lives. we know just how dangerous, right, and unconscionable these deaths have been to so many community members. and it's really important -- as leaders, we engage those

that have been impacted to make sure that we are introducing legislation that will ultimately lead to a good outcome for everyone. >> and if you could, you mentioned amir locke obviously in their endorsing this idea, how is his family doing and how was their search for justice going? >> yeah, so i was just recently at a community event for another senseless death. this young, promising kid, deshaun hill, 15 years old quarterback was killed and amir locke's cousin was also there as part of his healing circle that we had at north high school in north minneapolis. and i had a conversation with her about the wishes of the family and we continue to have a conversation with their lawyers to try to figure out, you know, a possible path forward. i know that his funeral is

tomorrow or the day after, and you know, i mean, our community is traumatized, this family is traumatized. we've been through quite a lot and this is the same police force that killed george floyd. they've killed another young man who is innocent. amir locke deserved to be alive today. he deserved the opportunity to grow old and be part of his family and his community. and these kind of tragedies need to end and we have to do something in regards to legislation to change the outcome. >> indeed, indeed. congresswoman ilhan omar thank you for making the attempt to do just that, we really appreciate you being here this evening. all right, stay right here for tonight's absolute worst because yes, we have all come to accept a little showboating in congress. but not when it comes to threatening our national security. we will be back. when it comes to threatening our national

security we will be back.
