8:01 am
minutes. we will bring that to you when it begins. alabama governor kay ive tweeted, this morning, i agree with the people of dadeville and my fellow alabamians violent crime has no place i our state, and we are stayin closely updated by law enforcement has details emerge again, we are expecting a news conference momentarily and wil bring it to you as soon as i starts but for now we turn t the race for the 202 republican presidentia nomination as it gets going there is broader discussion underwa about what the future of the republican party will look like in a private retreated nationa this weekend that was a centra theme for speakers and attendees alike. former vice president mike pence and new hampshir governor christen uno both perspective personal strateg candidates that spoke at the retreat made big appeals to th republican party to move o from donald trump. the former, president however, gave the keynote speech last night. and according to a copy of his
8:02 am
remarks obtained by politico h declared that, quote, the ol republican party is gone and i is never coming back and a separate account of the, event in the washington post reports, quote, trump took extensive time to insult polling results, reading pol numbers state-by-state for about five minutes trump only re-read polls tha were favorable to him's, but i is not a sure bet that he will win the nomination again as he potentially faces stif competition from florida governor ron desantis. and of course there is the fac that trump is now the firs current and former president t be charged with a crime. he is the subject of a multitude of pending cases including about an upcomin trial that we will get back to in a little bit. but i believe we are going t go to a press around bitterly, if not now >> we are gonna go ahead and begin our press conference relative to a situation that occurred here in gainesville
8:03 am
alabama, and tallapoosa county i rather showing a conferenc by asking day village if o police mister jonathan floyd t please come up and share thank you. >> good morning. it might be a little tough my name is jonathan floyd, and i have the privilege of bein the police chief for the cit of dadeville one thing i want you to know that the city of dadeville the city of danville is tight-knit community full of wonderful people i ask you to please keep our community in your prayers, and i ask you to keep my polic department in your prayers and i also ask each of you please do not let this momen define what you think about th city of daybell and are fine

8:05 am
of encouragement to ou parents. we will have counselin provided for students at the school tomorrow. we will make every effort to comfort to those children. and don't lose sight of th fact that those are the ones most impacted by thi situation. we also ask local clergy t reach out to those families an help them through this difficult situation. i would be remiss if i did not thank live forsman for comin in and handling this situation so professionally. thank you. >> before i go any further i would like to say on behalf of secretary how taylor and every one at the alabama law enforcement agencies state investigation, and everyon with our organization, our
8:06 am
deepest sympathies and condolences to the familie that are enduring this tragedy right now. but i cannot agree with what the chief said anymore this is a fine city, a fin county and absolutely an amazin state. and we are not going to allo one tragedy to define us this incident occurred a approximately 10:34 pm in a 200 block a street here i dadeville in tallapoos council. there were four, lives not fatalities, lives yeah tragically lost in thi incident and there has been a multitude of injuries. as they said, this is going to be a long and complicate process. we are thankful to the sheriff and the chief and everyone
8:07 am
including the district attorne for all of their support we are going to continue t work in a very methodical wa to go through this scene, to look at the facts, and ensur that justice is there for th families we will do that, and we ca also confirm that it was tie to a birthday party. we were able to confirm. that it was tied to a birthday celebration. we cannot share anything mor this time with regards to that as it is not going investigation. if we have any additiona information to share, we wil pass it along. if you have immediate worries, please send that to media do -- at aaliyah.gov that is media dot relations at aaliyah.gov. if you have, tips and we'r gonna send this out as soon as i'm done if you have, tips please cal
8:08 am
one 800 3928011. one 800 3928011. that is the alabama state la enforcement agency crime tip line you can also email at s b ey dot investigations at elliot on top of. that is s b eye do investigations at aaliyah.gov. again, our thoughts and prayer are with the family. we will not be taking an questions. i will be back in approximatel two hours with an update i will be back in approximatel two hours with an update this concludes the press conference thank you. >> all right you just heard from la enforcement in dadeville alabama. about a deadly shooting last night left for dead. a multitude of injuries tied t a birthday party according to the, sherif there. with me now to discuss this, from alabama, is joyce vance
8:09 am
she's a former u.s. attorney and i think associates fro alabama. joyce tell us a little bit about dadeville as a community and where it is and what it is like >> daboll is a small community i think that same as you mentioned about 3000 residents 45 minutes away from montgomery, alabama. it is one of those communities that you see in small town alabama. it is half black and hal white. people are very close. there is a little bit of suggestion on social media tha it was a sweet 16 party wher the shooting took place. >> what is the - obviously down south there i more of a gun culture, there i would. say that's fair to say what is your sense of th cultural elements around this? we know very little about th case obviously the sheriff is not forthcoming at all with an details. is this a place where you se
8:10 am
these types of incidents happe all that often or not >> so i think the reality is because there is a permissiv gun culture in alabama, like many other parts of the countr where it is easy to get a gu and there are few checks, an there is concealed carry tha is now permissible, we increasingly see these crime happen in places where peopl are not expecting to see the happen in this situation we learn ver little from the pres conference we don't know if there is suspect. but given the number of victim and people attending this part it seems very likely that la enforcement as a good idea o who the shooter is that makes a little bi mysterious that we have no heard anything about whether they are in custody or whether they are close to doing that >> and if we get mor information about the shooting we will of course bring it t the viewers. if you happen to be on, we wil of course ask you.
8:11 am
but we just don't know much of this point so let's move on a little bi to a wildly different topic. i want to shift back to what w originally booked you for. which is to talk about these trump investigations washington post reporter yesterday that evan cochrane, top trump lawyer, has no recused himself from the classified documents case, h was recently ordered by a cour to testify to the federal gran jury in that case. how aware is it for a recusa like this to happen? what do you make of it >> well, it is an unusua situation. from central to one of the mos important things that happen i this entire situation. which is the moment wher donald trump causes his lega team to send a certification t the doj, that says all of th classified material has been returned that is obstruction of justice or at least that is th allegation of the specia counsel is investigating and because evan corcoran is central to that, he is involve
8:12 am
in the issuance of tha certification, his testimony was permitted by the judge eve though he claimed attorney client privilege and the judge explicitly said, without casting by the way any sense that corcoran is at faul here but simply said a client canno use an attorney to perpetrat criminal conduct so she permitted that veil o the attorney client privileg to be pierced, and require testimony. it is an unusual situation it is tough for the lawyer t continue representing th client in something like this. >> the heart of the matter her and really the central matte for this case for trump is not so much but he took thes documents, it's that h obstructed the recovery of them. in the case of everett corcoran, prosecutors do seem to b interested in this letter that he drafted in june and in that letter he said tha he had, quote, done a diligent search and did not uncover an classified documents of, course that was not true
8:13 am
or maybe the search wa diligent but the fbi did retrieve hundreds of classified documents from mar-a-lago afte that so is there an indication here that corcoran was part of th obstruction or baby was duped? and that they can ask him abou that letter specifically >> right, so we don't know that it is very likely tha prosecutors do at this point and just reading the tea leave here, it seems more like he is somebody who was taken in then active participant but we don't know that for certain. what prosecutors need is his testimony about that who told him that there ha been a search? did he conduct it personally there is some videotape that suggests boxes were moved tw rounds at some point on this timeline and there is also been som reporting that trump personall reviewed these boxes so the goal here will be t find out what happened, and wh was responsible for the fals certification that was made to
8:14 am
doj. >> all right, thank you so muc for being so flexible an helping us unpack to ver difficult and delicate situations i really appreciate your insight on both of them. we'll be in touch. for more on what is happenin on capitol hill i'm joined b democratic senator mazy of hawaii she was a member of severa committees including the key senate judiciary committee senator, thank you for joining us we saw this weekends and are a rnc meetings the republican party is really not backing down from th positions on guns, and abortio measures, antiabortion measure i should say on anti lgbtq bills. those don't necessarily seem t me the animating principles of the vast majority of the american people bissell sliver of them for sure is that in your estimation becoming a defining difference between parties? the republican focus over here and the democrats focus way on the other side of the ledger
8:15 am
>> the fact that the republicans are taking extremist positions on so many of these issues, including o course a person's bodily autonomy and gun safety, the are turning their backs with the majority of people i america wants. they think they can do thi without any consequences, but think they will find that th wisconsin show is not an anomaly. my hope is that all these youn people, everyone calling for gun safety legislation,'s hear struck with the informatio we've just received from alabama. we need national gun safet legislation, but there are s many other areas where the republican party extremists ar turning their backs on the american people. >> you mentioned alabama i wanted to ask you about th statement you put it after the mass shooting in kentucky last week where it was already on mass shooting behind, i guess. you wrote this every day the gop refuses to
8:16 am
act on gun violence we fail th american people and more lives are senselessly lost we can't keep living like this congress must do its job and passed gun safety laws i have got to be honest, i kno why you put out the statement. i understand the sentiment and the frustration. but we have been through thi for ten years or more now. mass shootings do not move congress to act. it's the do move republicans t consider serious substantial gun safety legislation do you expect any changes? if so, why presuming there is no action what recourse do democrats eve have with respect to gun control? >> two things. the change will happen whe people who support gun safet legislation get elected. it is truly up to our voters our constituents to make that, difference t call for that change even if we don't have th necessary number of votes to make those changes, we need to
8:17 am
continue to shine a light on what is happening in our country. we need to get over this attitude that says that we lov guns certainly not me that we love guns more than we love our children. all of the regulations related to concealed carry and regulating assault weapons jus adds to the trauma, truly ou children are traumatized and are wondering whether they could even make it through elementary school. that is not how our countr should be. >> i want to ask you about a very delicate situation, one that is exceptionally importan in this state and age. which is the debate between on of your colleagues, senato feinstein, 89-year-old, ha been gone from the senate fo two months she has shingles she's almost 58. straight, votes i believe, b emcees count the judiciary committee has no been able to expeditiously mov forward with a vote on federal judges because of her absence.
8:18 am
and there have been calls fo her righteous resignation from a few democrats in the house i want to, know where do you stand on the matter of wha your colleague diane feinstein should do? >> i respect diana very much she has in her decades o commitment to the people o california and indeed our whol country done so much on behalf of our communities and our people i respect her very much. she is temporarily steppin down from the judiciar committee. i hope that the republican will have the decency to enabl this to happen i believe that diana and her constituents need to mak further decisions about he service. but i respect her. >> yes, i understand but quickly, if the republican do not let her step, down an they can stop, it would yo suggest that she retire so tha a replacement can be made? >> i suggest that we figure ou a way to make sure that she ca step down and be temporarily
8:19 am
replaced there is nothing that says w should let the republicans onc again stifle any meaningfu anything so i expect that we will figur out how to make this happen. >> okay. democratic senator lindsey - of hawaii, thank you for joining us on a very difficult morning once again on gun violence in thi country. and still ahead on velshi, access to the key abortion dru mifepristone has been extended for just another few days. but then what we will discuss and, the biden estrogen is slamming the great brakes on gas powered cars, calling fo stricter vehicle emissions standards. plus, erin go bra, president joe biden concludes his trip t his motherland of ireland. he had quite the reception atth is coming up, next. boosters keep your laundry smelling fresh waaaay longer than detergent alone. if you want laundry to smell fresh for weeks,

8:32 am
justice samuel alito ordered a ruling that would restrict nationwide access to mifepristone justices this alito's orde merely maintains the status qu until wednesday. at 11:59 pm. that will allow the justices time to consider the issue mifepristone, in combination with another key abortion, pal is an extremely safe and prove effective method of abortion u until about ten week gestation. what the supreme court doesn't next could torment a future of miss mifepristone access in th u.s. if the pause nifty approval of the drug is allowed to tak effect, it would mean tighte restrictions in how the drug i used and distributed joining me now is fatima grass graves, president and ceo of the national women's law cente and president of the nationa women's law center action fund thank you for joining me supreme court justice alit ordered a stay on the judges ruling, which basically buys
8:33 am
the supreme court a couple o days that is what they are doing. so one of the possible steps forward, and at this junctur what is your sense of how th supreme court will come down o the bigger questions of this drug's availability? >> i think it is important t say it is still possible for the supreme court to send this back to the district court and re-mandate with instructions t dismiss it because this case should never have been brought in the first place. it is highly unlikely in any other situation that the pla would have any standing. and that would be what you would expect in typical times. but we are not in typical times, and that is what people ar sort of waiting nervously fo wednesday, to see what steps the supreme court will take. and hopefully at the very leas to the supreme court will stay in these ridiculous lower cour rulings while the litigation continues. >> your organization, th
8:34 am
national women's law center, - about the abortion pill ruling saying in part the single judg wants to use his persona ideology to end access t mifepristone and, that quote, this sort o weaponization of the judiciary is a threat to our democracy let me ask you about that. obviously on the merits you ar very much opposed to the decision to restrict access to this abortion ruling but what are your larger concerns here? is it democracy or isn't necessarily that and the fda's basic process of drug approval here, which if you would think about a single judge can say hey have concerns about th process that this was used t certify this abortion decision i think that any judge in an venue can do that for a simila drug, no >> those things are deeply intertwined. the way our democracy function is that we have not only standards like the rule of law and a judiciary that shoul operate consistently and fairly,
8:35 am
but we also have these cor government bodies that mak decisions for us, that we ca trust and rely upon. all that is being torn dow through these antiabortion extremist efforts to ban abortion nationwide and in class. and i don't care what happen in its wake. if you can do that t mifepristone, which has been approved for over 20 years and is widely used, why can't yo do it for any other medication that some small group of peopl disagree with? and if a judge can replace its own views with the views of th fda, it can put its own use in place rather than the views of the fda, what is to stop any other judge from doing that? and if the people in thi country cannot rely on court
8:36 am
to use things like precedent and rule of law then why would they have faith and trust in our courts none of this is good for the way our country functions. >> let me ask you on the fli side of that, there have been select few lawmakers, not just democrats although predominantly democrats in south carolina i was artesia cortez in ne york, for example. saying that they should just ignore the ruling. this is before the public cour ruled in the supreme court say. they said, look we should just ignore this texas judge' ruling and proceed as of a never happened would that not also oppose som long term threats to democracy if there was a pattern put i place, a template for th administration just to ignore ruling isn't the answer judicia reforms that you cannot ge these district judges ruling and having injunctions on fd processes?
8:37 am
>> right now the fda is not in a great place because there is not just the rulings out of th fed circuit, but a distric court and washington who has given effectively the opposite instruction to the fda if i am the fda, i am not sure what i would do. that's why it was not surprise that the supreme cour got involved quickly i think that we are not at the place where we need to think about what comes next in articulating the various scenarios. i'm sure the administration is working on that. the administration is doin what it should be doing, which is immediately jumping in an having the department of justice filed to challenge these -- so that is my guess. step one step two comes later >> now, this is interesting. your impression about this, yo gave testimony before the hous oversight committee last summer he was a few weeks after the dobbs decision to overturn roe i want to highlight a couple
8:38 am
sentences from just what you that quote, the right to abortion is rolling through th fabric of our society, our law in our systems our expectations have been built by the legal right t abortion but now we have that bedrock without that bedrock, we face minefield of a evolving into inflicting state laws. that's what's happening. here putting aside whether you agree or disagree with these judges rulings on abortion medication, we are operating i a minefield of a vague and a conflicting movements and stat laws it has been nine months sinc you gave that testimony. were you, and it seems ver clear you are right, but thi confirmed the extent to whic we are operating in a minefield? >> it is almost worse than i was expecting. i understood that you would se a range of laws that it's no quite add up
8:39 am
weather did not quite expect was for some states to eve challenge things like providin emergency care for people wh were pregnant and needed to en their pregnancies. we have seen some states tryin to prevent people from traveling. we have seen some states passing laws thinking they are accepting people from thei dramatic abortion bans but actually running them in way where it is totally unclear. none of this is about the live or health of people who ar pregnant or women in thi country. all of it is about just puttin forward agendas and a very narrow world view that nobod wants. so it is really really disturbing and i think we ar going to continue to see unintended consequences an perhaps intended consequence that are not going to work out well for us all. >> all right that's about grass graves,
