talking about the devastating impact of this deadly heat just today, but here's just a few examples of what we're seeing. in the u.s., excessive heat warnings are up in at least eight states including most of texas and nearly all of oklahoma and arkansas. almost 90 major fires fueled by heat and drought are burning right now across the u.s. take a look at this. this is not california, this is france. excessive heat left pine forests in this country bone dry allowing wildfires to spread across more than 70 square miles, that's larger than washington, d.c. and it's a similar story across europe. more than 1,000 heat-related deaths have been reported in spain and portugal. 1,000. italy's longest river is slowly running dry as the country faces its worst drought in decades. in the uk, temperatures rose to 104. more than 30 degrees above normal shattering records in a

country where more than 95% of buildings don't have air conditioning. forecasters have now been forced to improvise as they deal with the kind of heat they never thought they'd see. >> a number of people have been saying maps in the past never looked this dark, they haven't because we have never seen temperatures as high as this in the uk before. this color scale was designed to not show temperatures like this for the uk. >> even the maps are not prepared for this. lots to talk about. tim miller is a writer at large for the bull work and msnb political analyst. these temperatures are insane. frankly we are not built for them, we're not built for the impact if they keep getting worse. after years of you and your colleagues warning about climate

change, what is your message now today? >> the message is that this is what we anticipated. it's exactly what we saw coming. and there hasn't been a more urgent plan to act than now. we have such a short window to curb off this dangerous trajectory we're on which is increasing the global average temperature by degrees. what that means is that the jumping off point for extreme temperatures, for these 105 to 110 degree fahrenheit days, that's making those deadly days more frequent and more intense and more simultaneous. we're seeing this in examples from the pacific northwest to the plains of america to europe. this is something that we are experiencing now as a global collective. i'm at the u.n. today. we are -- [ inaudible ]

>> we're looking at some pictures now from greater london. the fires that are raging there. not only are people not used to this kind of weather in europe generally, but the homes and buildings were built for a completely different kind of climate. there are lots of homes in the uk where they're built to retain heat because it's often so chilly and so damp. what kind of problems is all of this creating? >> major, major problems. let me put that into perspective. as you said, today in west london at heathrow airport, we recorded temperatures of 104.5 degrees fahrenheit. that would beat a record set in 2019, that was 101.84 degrees, around 65 degree fahrenheit.

that's where you see people wearing the short-sleeve tops and the short-shorts, because we consider that quite warm. getting to 104 degrees is not shocking. we're not prepared for this in this country at all. because of that, a red alert warning was issued to warn people of the dangers because there is a danger to life if you're not prepared for this type of heat. we've seen the impact on transportation systems. yesterday at one particular airport, they had to suspend flights because of damage caused on the runway because of the heat. the raf airport had to do the same because the tarmac on the runway melted. it also had major issues as well to our rail transportation. many lines had to be canceled because they're too hot. i could speak about our national health service, they also happen to put in precautions to make

sure things are running smoothly there. some routine appointments have been canceled. most of the homes in this country do not have air conditioning. last night, my room was very hot indeed. temperatures reached the highest levels that we've seen overnight. we're not prepared, but we are hearing from scientists that we could potentially expect more summers like this in the future. the question now is what can be done about it. >> let me go to the doctor then. she is setting me up for that. is this what we're going to have to get used to? what do we do about it? >> we need to prepare ourselves and adapt to the changes that are already under way and we anticipate increasing in frequency and intensity. that knowledge is power. it allows us to proactivity prepare for what we know is increased risk to human health. what will put a detriment to the

food supply system and make certain foods less available and accessible. so we need to address that globally. we need to think about the impacts on bio diversity and what this means for nature. all of that can be planned for. let's see the positive there. at the same time we need to mitigate against worst-case warming scenarios. at some point we won't be able to find solutions to this runaway heat and to the many impacts of climate change that are ripple effects from this temperature warming. let's actually proactively prepare and adapt to this new temperature point from which we can anticipate continued and increased hot days around the world and let's prevent real worst-case scenarios from coming into reality. >> tim, if we're looking at worst-case scenarios, let's be real. the politics around climate change policy about as hot as the temperatures, especially since there are plenty of politicians who think climate

change is not real. i want to read what the "washington post" said about that possible administration action. some climate activists urged the white house to deploy an emergency declaration to maximum effect arguing it would allow the president to halt crude oil exports, limit oil and gas drilling in federal waters and direct agencies including the federal emergency management agency to boost renewable-energy resources. theoretically that's what the president could do. does it look at this point that his only option, unless you tell me some folks are having an epiphany seeing what's happening and deciding we have to do something? >> i get a bit cautious of demanding presidents do extreme action with executive fiat without help from congress. you have to wonder what that will mean when the other party is in charge. i think that also biden

politically is going to be hesitant to take some of these actions now because of domestic political concerns about high gas prices. is this really the time to be limiting oil and gas production? so i think that there might be a congressional action. this is -- climate action, this can happen through reconciliation. this is one issue where the filibuster doesn't matter. so they're waiting for the smoke signals from joe manchin's house vote. if he doesn't sign on to something, is there some of this agenda that you could get susan collins on board? she's not up for six years in maine and has been part of climate compromises in the past. you wish you wouldn't have to put your eggs in the susan collins basket, but given the problem here, if you want to have a long-term solution that can't be reversed by the next president, finding one republican to sign on for this would be nice. the fact that you have an entire party run by climate deniers is

disgusting and problematic now, but the democrats only need to pick off one. >> let's bring this back to the u.s. i want to bring in jay gray. he's in texas, considered ground zero for the extreme heat in this country. jay, what are you seeing and feeling there? >> chris, good afternoon. the almost half the country dealing with extreme heat right now. some of the worst of it is here in texas. the dallas area expected high today is 109. it would be the second day in a row that north texas reached that mark. there's no real relief in sight at this point. the ten-day forecast shows only one day below 102 in this region. there's concern about electricity. it's putting a strain on the grid. there's concern about water with mains breaking because of shifts in the dry ground cracking pipes. they're going to continue to do what they can to try to help those forced to be out in this heat. it's something that is not going to go away.

so long-term what a lot of the forecasters in this region are saying is that this is really just the beginning of what's going to be an even hotter summer as we move forward. not good news for those here in texas and as we talked about across the country that are dealing with the excessive heat. that's the latest from here in dallas. back to you. >> thank you so much for that. tim, let's go back to the political reality. i mean, ted cruz in texas is not suddenly going to change the way he thinks about these things. a "new york times" headline speaks about how it's not just a problem here. it describes how at the debate for the race for prime minister they talked almost nothing about global warming and more about how to blunt the impact of spiking energy bills, to your point as we were talking a minute ago. it is very hard in politics to play the long game, isn't it? >> yeah. we have a global polarization on

this issue. this was not the case 15 years ago. the democrats have always been more sure-footed on environmental stuff. john mccain ran in 2008 on dealing with climate change. the polarization on this issue is a disaster. the only way to break this off is "a," pick off the few members of conservative parties who may be willing to work with something or winning elections in some of these red states. look at texas. a disastrous grid situation in texas on top of other extreme laws they put in place. these need to be places where democrats can find a way to win elections. that's the reality of the climate debate right now. you have one party that's not going to participate in any sort of solutions. not even more moderate or more reasonable ones that certain

democrats might want to go along with. >> among the many things not built for these temperatures, power grids in many places. tim, thank you very much. thank you all very much. up next, the d.c. court for steve bannon's contempt of congress trial back in session after a recess. at thursday's prime time january 6th hearing, how testimony from two former trump white house insiders could be key to understanding the riot. and it's primary day in maryland. i'll talk with two of the top democratic candidates for governor. also ahead, how a doctor is trying to help ukraine's children forever changed by the way. by the by the way.able coughing fits. ask your doctor or pharmacist about whooping cough vaccination because it's not just for kids.

the january 6th committee today finishing preparations for thursday's prime time hearing which, if the previous seven

hearings are any indication, may fulfill what adam kinzinger has promised, to open peoples eyes in a big way. but how? what will we learn what donald trump was doing while the capitol was under attack. two more trump insiders back then, former national security council member, matthew pottinger and sarah matthews introduce themselves to the nation and open themselves up to major public scrutiny from the former president. the committee says they will proceed without their leader this week after news this morning that chairman bennie thompson has tested positive for covid and has begun his isolation period. joining me now is ali vitali, barbara mcquaid and carol lenag. another big factor for the committee today, the secret service text messages. i'm reading your twitter feed.

as usual you are breaking news. purged you write. those secret service texts are gone, gone, gone. gone. like really not ever to be recovered. is that what you're saying here? >> according to the secret service, internal sources there, they spent four days scouring for all their records, all their communications that might be relevant to january 6th. remember, they received a subpoena on friday for all the records from the january 6th committee saying where the heck are these texts by secret service agents who were shadowing donald trump the days before january 6th and with him and hearing his comments firsthand on january 6th as he angrily demanded to be taken with his supporters to the capitol. this scouring, this overnighter -- many overnighters by the secret service has determined they have no new teks to provide.

and that anything that wasn't generated and basically backed up on an uploaded drive inside the secret service in january of 2021 has been purged. the reset would have eliminated those texts, just the texts -- not talking about emails, but telephone/cell phone texts -- those texts are gone, according to the service. this will be of curiosity to the january 6th committee. they thought this could be really important, corroboraing and evidence about what was going on with donald trump. the question they all want to answer. also now, the national archives this morning in response to our questions from the "washington post" released a statement and said that they are investigating whether or not the failure to back up these telephone texts was a violation of the law, which is that all federal agencies are supposed to

preserve government records. >> from the people you're talking to, do they believe they'll be able to get to the bottom of whether or not this was just a giant mess-up or something more nefarious than that? >> the people that i've been speaking to are a mixture of sort of headquarter senior officials who want to share what headquarters believes. and then people who are a little more deep inside and less beholden to the agency's company line. in that second group, what i'm hearing is they believe it was nefarious in the sense that the service doesn't force anybody to preserve these records. they give them the instruction, they give them the training, they give them the link to where they should upload documents but there has never been consequences for failing to preserve these records. i think your question really is

a little more knife-precision and your question is did they intentionally delete things that were evidence about january 6th? i think it's going to be really hard to establish that one way or the other. what i'm hearing is that they don't believe that was the case. it really was a reset, and if it happened to get rid of some complicated emails -- forgive me,texts in a chaotic time in our u.s. history, maybe that was just a side bonus. >> all right. so with that, apparently decided and maybe information that both the committee and a lot of people who watch this closely thought might have been important to this ongoing investigation -- let's talk about prime time thursday. what will we see? what will we hear? what do we know? >> one of the things you're not going to see, not in person, is

the chairman of the committee, bennie thompson who just a few hours ago announced he tested positive for covid and he's in an isolation period with mild symptoms on that. at the same time, we know the committee is still going to move forward with, because they said this will not impact their schedule, they're moving forward with what is supposed to be the last in the summer series of hearings focused exclusively on january 6th itself, trying to understand the chaos that was going on here for three hours on the hill with the lack of action from the former president from inside the white house. the witness list we reported gives us a sense of how they'll attempt to do that. they have those stunning images that all of us watched in realtime and some of us experienced in person on the hill. on top of that, they have people who were former trump white house officials, specifically matt pottinger and sarah matthews who were in the white

house that day and can illuminate for the committee and public what was going on in the white house then. it's also a story of people who in the case of matt pottinger, for example, had been with this administration and the trump presidency for the entirety of the four years and finally found his breaking point, at least that's how he explained it at one point where we saw him in the past at these committees. >> one of my staff brought me a printout of a tweet by the president. the tweet said something to the effect that mike pence, the vice president, didn't have the courage to do what should have been done. i read that tweet and made a decision at that moment to resign. that's where i knew i was leaving that day.

>> that gives us a sense of what we could hear from people like pottinger when he testifies live. these are the only two witnesses we expect at this point. the committee is also saying, and i talked with the chairman about this yesterday, they will be doing not just the final report that they keep touting to us, but potentially some kind of interim final report, like a scaled-back version of a final report. there could be hearings around that. they keep saying that's coming in the early fall. we know they've been actively fact gathering as they're fact presenting. so they're leaving the door open because they feel like they're getting so much information, they want to present it collectively and also in realtime. >> and they get it every time there's a hearing so who knows what might come in after thursday night. let's talk about the other stuff related to 1/6. the court cases. start with steve bannon. court is back in session. they had another attempt to

delay the proceedings today. how strong do you think the case is for federal prosecutors? in cases like this, what usually are the consequences? >> it appears to be a strong case, especially because last week the judge in this case, a trump appointee, ruled against steve bannon in asserting all of the offenses he wanted to assert because they're baseless, things like executive privilege and he was negotiating. the only thing left is whether he intentionally violated the subpoena and the defense thought the deadline was malleable. cases like this, in my former office, we referred to it as a slow motion guilty plea. the evidence is strong, there's no real defense, eventually the person is convicted. i supposed when you have someone like steve bannon who promised this would be the misdemeanor from hell and he would go medieval, you could see an

appeal from the jury to nullify the law and ask them to recognize this is somehow some gross mischarge of justice to hold him accountable here. i don't see that happening. it seems like the evidence is strong if they can get a neutral jury. >> let me ask you real quickly about another case that involves accountability in georgia. the fulton county d.a. is trying to learn everything about the former president's interference with the election. republican lawmakers are fighting grand jury subpoenas. how does that play out, do you think? >> i think they're making a political show of it. perhaps trying to win in the court of public opinion. ultimately there's an old adage in the law that the government is entitled to every man's evidence. they inserted the speech or debate clause which relates to legislation. this is outside the scope of that. i think the testimony will be gotten even if they have to come kicking and screaming. >> thank you all very much.

my tribe has lived on this land for 12,000 years. we call it oleyumi. you call it california. our land, our culture, our people once expansive, now whittled down to a small community. only one proposition supports california tribes like ours. while providing hundreds of millions in yearly funding to finally address homelessness in california. vote yes on 27. tax online sports betting and protect tribal sovereignty and help californians

[ normal voice ] whoa. another major primary race in maryland where ten democrats are running for governor but three of them are polling tightly ahead of the rest to succeed governor larry hogan. i spoke to tom perez last hour. peter franchot will join me shortly. joining me now is wes moore of the robinhood foundation. tom perez, one of your opponents, says voters would be taking a big risk in the general election if they vote for you. why do you think he's wrong? >> i think voters would be taking a big risk if they thought that what we need right now is incrementals. i think the thing we are seeing right now across the state of maryland is people want maryland do big things. people are not looking for the same ideas from the same people. they're looking for someone that

can work across sectors and to think about the future in a powerful and bold way. we're excited our message is resonating. we're excited that as a first-time candidate we're running neck and neck with people who have been established career bureaucrats and 40-year politicians. we think it's our message that will carry us across the finish line in a powerful way. >> i want to ask about that message in a minute. in this race, as in many races where you have a lot of candidates, experience versus the new folks and new view, a fresh perspective, having said that a lot of people are disenchanted with what's going on in the country right now. is someone who has never served in that way the right person for the job? when does experience become a negative? >> yeah. i'll put my experience against anyone else in this race. it's not just the fact that i led soldiers in combat, the fact that i led a successful small

business in the state of maryland, the fact that i led one of the largest organizations in america, but it's also a lived experience. i don't need briefings to understand the challenges that many marylanders are facing. i watched my father die in front of me because he didn't get the health care he needed. when i felt handcuffs on my wrist when i was 11 years old because i came up in neighborhoods that were overpoliced. my experience both leadership experience, professional experience and lived experience, i would argue makes me as experienced if not more to lead in this moment than anyone else in this race. >> all those things you talk about help you to understand the concerns that people have beyond even that, which you just said, inflation, gas prices, we know they're a major concern if not the major concern for voters. though one poll does show republicans are more worried about the economy than democrats, which is interesting.

get specific here because experience and understanding is what a lot of voters would say, that's why we voted for the president because we thought he understood what we were going through and was going to fix it. if they buy that you understand what they're going through, specifically how do you fix it? >> we have to keep our focus on the economy. i first started this campaign saying the things we have to drive on, we have to drive pathways for work, wages and wealth for all of our families. what it means focusing on the economy is doing things that the governor can uniquely do to keep our economy going and to keep families safe and stable. that includes things like fixing a broken child care system. just in the state of maryland, since covid, we had over 800 child care centers close. that's had a significant impact on getting people back into the work force. it also helps underscore the fact that the majority of the child care providers are female

entrepreneurs but they are never treated as such. it means we focus on job retraining, job reskilling, and getting people focused on the jobs of now and of the future and having a world-class education system that is teaching our children how not just to be employees and employers. the assets in the state of maryland are vast. maryland is asset rich. but we are strategy poor. that's something the governor can focus on and build. >> wes moore. good to see you. thank you very much. good luck tonight. joining me now, peter franchot, the currents state comptroller and vietnam veteran who is running for maryland governor. as you know, it's a democratic state that elected a republican governor but at a time when democrats are in charge nationally and where the vast majority of americans believe this country is headed in the wrong direction, what do you say to them about why elect a democrat generally and in

particular you? >> because i am a democrat that people trust. i'm fiscally moderate, i'm socially compassionate, i happen to think that i'm a democrat -- i believe in the values and principles of the democratic party but i'm not a robot. i want the 800,000 independent voters in maryland to be allowed in to vote in the democratic primary. why? because these folks otherwise don't have any say. they tend to be young adults who are disaffected with the fiscal policies of the democrats and not happy with the harshness of the republicans. we should let them in to vote. i'm offering myself -- i've been comptroller for 16 years. that's a big job. statewide job. i've gotten tons of votes from democrats, republicans, and independents. and i think that's what the public is looking for, someone like myself who bridges some of the adversarial canyons that

separate us now. let me say briefly, chris, the number one issue in maryland right now is inflation. it is absolutely hammering our public. we need to do something about it. the federal folks, federal reserve, pouring cold water on a white-hot economy. we understand why they're doing that to jack up interest rates, bring down the rate of inflation, which is higher than it's been in 41 years. it's essential for maryland to do something -- it's as if the feds are turning the therapy stat way down on the national economy. >> be specific. what is that something that you as a governor would do that you think would be more effective. >> i mean, let me just say what i did recently. on march 10th, i announced a $7.5 billion surplus for the state of maryland. i said we should have a gas tax holiday. one week later, march 18th, that was enacted. we had a gas tax holiday in

april. it was enormously popular and helpful. we need to have that. we also need to have some relief by asking companies to be liberal with letting their people work remotely. and then we need survival checks. i have 500,000 low-wage earning families in my database, tax database. we need to send each of them a $2,000 survival check. that's a counterintuitive thing because we're turning the thermostat up while the feds are throwing cold water on the national economy. people are literally having to choose on whether to buy a gallon of gas or a gallon of milk for their kids. we have to understand the impact of inflation, not just on the low-wage earners but on all marylanders. if it leads to a deep recession, if the fed overreacts, we're going to need to do something significant in maryland. we can afford it. it has a multiplier effect.

this is not something that's bad for the local economy. it is something that is in the surplus that i reported. and the key thing is i did that a couple months ago. it's not something i'm going to do. it's something i did. finally, i changed the tax date this year from april 15th to july 15th. that's a three-month, 90-day interest free, penalty free loan from me to 600,000 maryland business and families. i've done that. it's provided a lot of relief. obviously i have great respect for my opponents, but it's mostly ideas with them about what they might do. i've done it. people have confidence in my judgment. that's why i'm going to win the election later on today. >> it is the election, no doubt about it, to watch tonight. whether it's so close that we need to count the absentee ballots, which means we won't know until thursday, time will tell. peter franchot, appreciate you

coming on the program. good luck tonight. overnight, more pain and anger on display at the heated uvalde school board meeting. >> y'all do not give a damn about our children or us. >> we're in uvalde next where families want accountability for how that shooting was handled before the next school year starts. s handle have technology that's easier to control... that can scale across all your clouds... we got that right? before the next school year before the next school year starts [whistling] covid-19. some people get it, and some people can get it bad. and for those who do get it bad, it may be because they have a high-risk factor - such as heart disease, diabetes,

being overweight, asthma, or smoking. even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your risk of covid-19 turning severe. so, if you're at high risk and test positive - don't wait - ask your healthcare provider right away if an authorized oral treatment is right for you.

new urgency in uvalde, texas where the start of the school year is coming fast. some parents say their kids are afraid to go. the community continues to look for accountability after a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers in may. tensions escalated monday night at a three-hour long school board meeting following the release of bodycam video and that bombshell report that found gross errors in response on that horrific day. among those who spoke, a young survivor of the shooting wearing the last dress some of her friends at robb elementary saw

her wear. >> most of those kids were my friends, and that's not good. i don't want to go to your guys school if they don't have protection. >> we're learning more details about police and the leadership failure in uvalde. folks want to know what is the school board going to do to address our concerns, parents, the kids? what are you hearing? >> chris, the school board held this special meeting to give the parents an opportunity to ask questions with unlimited time and also to inform them on what they are going to do and what they're already doing to better prepare the schools in the district for anything that might happen in the future. you have to understand, this report that was released over the weekend was packed with information that upset the parents. some of that information mentioning the doors were not locking properly in the school,

also noting that the staff was aware these doors were not locking properly. of course criticizing the way the officers reacted during the shooting, saying there was a lack of communication, the school district police chief being questioned and other officers that were present. these parents came into the meeting very, very upset. it went on for more than three hours. it was supposed to be less than an hour. at times when one member of the community or parent was speaking, others would yell from the back. it got very, very heated. he's part of the meeting wither they were exchanging words with members of the school board. >> you're a vet, what would you have done? answer. >> i don't have an answer for you. >> don't have an answer? >> coward! coward! >> excuse me. sir, i am not a coward. i'm a combat veteran of vietnam. i served 26 years in the navy, i served in desert storm.

thank you. >> so, answer the question. what would you have done? >> you can sense the tension in the room. that was a mother who said after the meeting, told me that she does not plan to send her daughters back to school with the changes that they've announced. she wants to see more action by the school board. the superintendent kept getting questioned on pete arredondo, the police chief. they said if they do make a decision on pete arredondo, that will happen behind closed doors. that's something they have to discuss. they announced new changes like new perimeter fencing, new upgraded doors at the school. that's what the school board plans to do so far. >> thank you. right now, the war in ukraine is transforming the lives of children in unimaginable ways. the u.n. says nearly two-thirds have been displaced since the start of the war. up next, our friend, dr. irwin

so we've got some breaking news out of washington. the jury is now set just minutes ago in steve bannon's criminal contempt trial along with two alternates. looks like a diverse group including a former lawyer, also an architect who says he actually saw nbc news reports on the bannon case. it all comes just hours after the judge denied a motion by bannon's lawyers to delay the trial for another month. right now ukraine is fighting a war on two fronts. today president zelenskyy is rooting out russian sympathizers opening hundreds of treason investigations against people who he says are traitors, actively aiding the enemy. then there is the military war. 10,000 people have been killed in ukraine and the day-to-day lives of most of the population have been ripped apart by this brutal conflict including of course children.

nearly two-thirds of ukrainian kids under 18 have become refugees in other countries or are internally displaced in their own country. more than 5 million children total. a nonprofit organization called the ukraine children's action project is trying to change that, providing urgent mental health and educational support but it is a daunting task. a friend of the show is the co-founder and joins me now from lviv, ukraine. thank you for making the time to talk to us. tell us about the most pressing challenges, the biggest needs you are seeing for these kids. >> so the thing is that these children and their lives have been amazingly disrupted. they've left amid violence and chaos, trying to get to safety either out of the country to poland and other countries or in the case of lviv they have flocked to the western regions, relatively safe regions for the

moment in ukraine, itself. they are coming here severely traumatized psychologically needless to say and are also missing school and over a long period of time missing school plus psychological trauma spells disaster for the future of these children. our organization is trying to make sure we support efforts to keep kids in school or find places to go to school for them and have trained people who can identify and treat these kids who have been so traumatized. that's what we're here for. and the numbers are absolutely amazing. i will say that the people of lviv and ukraine in general are incredibly resilient. it is inspiring to see them. this resilience does not last forever. it is not inexhaustible. i think they need the support we can, and many others, can provide as quickly as possible. the other thing is that no matter what, this war has got to

end. it is actually there is no time to waste here >> i want to play a little clip from something you sent us, a conversation you had with a mother in a shelter there in lviv. here is a little bit of what she told you. you can hear the emotion in her voice as she describes her children crying all the time, the hellish nights they have been facing. you've been visiting hospitals, shelters with these displaced kids and their families. what do they need most urgently? >> well, obviously immediately

they need shelter and food and acute medical care. immediately after that or simultaneously with that they need the psychological support and really support to help them figure out how to live in a new environment because they are not going home to what they remember as home any time soon. cities like mariupol and odesa now have been under severe attack and going back to where they came from is impossible so they need to adapt and adjust, find a source to make a living and so on. the other problem behind this is that the dads are not there, the husbands are off in the war fighting which adds more and more stress to the families and to the kids. so there's a multiplicity of psychological and social issues that need to be taken care of. we have to make sure these kids are in an appropriate school environment. >> if their fathers have even survived. i want to let people know, irwin, if they want to learn more about what you are doing there is a new program called

future ready you are screening kids. they can google it. dr. irwin redliner come back and talk to us again. thank you so much for taking the time. we appreciate it. that's it for us this hour. make sure to join us for "chris jansing reports" every week day 1:00 eastern time right here on msnbc. i'll see you again tomorrow from 12:00 to 2:00. katy tur reports starts next. 2. katy tur reports starts next fr with any steak entrée. only at applebee's.
