tv The Katie Phang Show MSNBC July 15, 2023 5:00am-6:01am PDT
5:00 am
series, sean white, the last run is streaming now on max. sean, thank you so much. good to see you. >> yes, thank you. >> that does it for, us we are back monday morning at 6 am eastern. get some, arrests have a great rest of your weekend. >> this is the katie phang show. live from miami, florida. we have lots of news to cover and lots of questions to answer, so let's get started. the heat is on. it is temperature torture for tens of millions of americans as the stubborn and potentially deadly heat refuses to loosen its grip. that place that can clock the hottest temperature ever recorded on earth today, that is ahead. closing in, special counsel jack smith went to jared kushner for answers about what the twice impeached trump indicted one term ex president state of mind was like leading up to the january 6th
5:01 am
insurrection at the capitol. what's new signs, the next possible terminal indictment for trump is in georgia. we are going in-depth on it all coming up. and later, like a war zone, a parkland parent who walked the school turned crime scene for the first time since 2018 massacre joins us live to talk about the traumatic visit. all of these stories and much more is ahead. ♪ ♪ ♪ and good saturday morning to you, i am katie phang. we start today show with millions of americans reaching their boiling point over the brutal heat baking much of the country for yet another day. 84 million americans are under heat alerts stretching from the pacific northwest all the way to right here in miami, florida through tuesday. that is more than 3200 miles of people just sweating it out and
5:02 am
trying to stay cool anyway that they can. the valley of the sun is definitely living up to its name. phoenix is sizzling and temperatures topping 110 degrees, for a 15th straight day. but that is nothing, compared to death valley, california the hottest place on earth is that you get even hotter. with temperatures possibly shattering a record 130 degrees today. nbc news correspondent marissa profitable brings us the latest from phoenix, arizona. >> katie, good morning. the sun is not even up yet in phoenix and it is already in the 90s here there is been no relief from the heat for weeks for people who live here. putting a particular strain on those who are responding to those who have heat related illnesses. we are talking about physicians saying they're seeing an influx of people at the hydration, influx of people with heatstroke and, also different types of feet related illnesses that they say this is something that they see every summer but
5:03 am
they are seeing it in the higher numbers than they can remember in recent years. so we are talking about the salvation army, we are talking about firefighters, these are the people going out to make sure that everyone has access to both water, as well as cool, indoor shelters because the people that are most at risk are those without a home. in fact, we spoke to the phoenix fire department. is that just as, week they had to respond to a man with third-degree burns all over his body because he was laying on the sidewalk. so this is what we are talking about. these cruise for the last two weeks straight now have been going around the city putting in overtime, extending there hours, even open on weekends when they are not normally open on weekends to make sure that those cooling shelters are open. it is not just here seeing the higher temperatures, this is from coast to coast, all across the south. miami, death valley expected to break a record with about 130-degree temps this weekend. so, again this is something that was completely unrelenting and the entire area is just bracing itself waiting for that
5:04 am
and to incite. >> marissa parra, thank you so much for that report. it is also going to be a scorching hot day on the picket lines in particular, california and new york. the first actors and writers strike and more than half a century and there's a second full day standing ripple effects across the entire entertainment industry. sag after leaders walked away from the negotiating tables on thursday. they couldn't reach a deal with studios over a larger chunk of money and protection against their images and likeness is being used by a eye for eternity. >> i am shocked by the way that people that we have been in business with are treating us. i cannot believe it quite frankly. how far apart we are on so many things. how they plead property, that they are losing money left and right when giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their
5:05 am
ceos. >> stars of the upcoming blockbuster movie oppenheimer walked out during the uk premier to support the strike. screenwriters have already been picketing for over 70 days. comcast, the corporation that owns our parent company nbcuniversal is one of the entertainment companies represented by the alliance of motion picture and television producers. and now we turn to the latest in the fight for reproductive rights in america in a post-roe world. 25 million women live in states with a near total abortion ban or tighter restrictions with little to no choice. but this, week a new milestone was reached for reproductive rights. the fda approved the first over the counter birth control pill available in the united states. marking a revolutionary change for women nationwide. meanwhile, republican led states are tightening their grip on abortion bans. iowa, now marked the 12th the state to ban abortion at six weeks. a time when most women don't
5:06 am
even know that they are pregnant. he has today, republican governor kim reynolds signed the bill into law. >> i convened a special session of i was general assembly to once again address the most important human right cause of our time. protecting unborn, human lives from the atrocity of abortion. a worthy battle in one, i will never concede. >> joining me now is doctor emily favors, an ob/gyn practicing in waverly, iowa. dr. beverage, i'm grateful for you to join the show today. this is a really important conversation as i was not going to the ranks of several other states for the six-week abortion ban. specifically for the woman in iowa, what does this pose for them in terms of challenges towards reproductive freedoms? i also wanted to focus as a physician on how misleading that title or the no more quote
5:07 am
fetal heartbeat bill is because a lot of people think oh, if there is a heartbeat, maybe it makes sense but it is actually misleading to use that phrase, right? >> that is correct. the impact on this ban on our patience is going to be immediate and severe. again as i said in the, segment a lot of people don't even know at six weeks that they are pregnant. if they have found out it's because they missed a period, that was usually very regular. by many of our patients don't have regular periods for a number of reasons, including the use of contraceptives like oral, breast control or an inter uterine device. the failures that can be associated with those. >> talking about this as a fetal heartbeat bill it is misleading because this is an embryonic stage of pregnancy and the heart is not fully developed. the heart is not functioning in the way that people think of when they think about life.
5:08 am
this is still a very early pregnancy that is far from viability. so i do disagree as a medical expert in women's house, with the idea that this very early pregnancy should be prioritized over the choices and the reproductive freedom of the mother. >> so doctor boevers, what will not be the available options for a woman with the six-week abortion ban in iowa. well they have to go to surrounding states? it is not like there is a lot of opportunities to be able, especially if you are financially strapped to be able to try and go some routes, to obtain an abortion. >> that is the exact issue at state cares at the woman who are going to be most affected by this bill may not have the resources whether be financially or the time available to travel to another state. these women are already here in
5:09 am
iowa, for us to take two days because of a 24 hour waiting period. people who will be most diversity affected by this band are the people who are the lowest resource among us. i find it very unfortunate that people who are already very low resource might be forced to carry a pregnancy that they don't feel that they can support and, so their options will be to yes, either find resources, time, money and support to travel to another state or my real fear is that women will take matters into their own hands and we will return to a medical situation similar to that before row one woman became very ill from abortions that were attempted in an unsafe manner. >> dr. emily boevers thank you again for getting a start of this morning and as we talk about iowa's new six-week abortion ban. i appreciate you being here. >> thank you for the opportunity to share this news. >> and coming up after the
5:10 am

5:15 am
courting evangelical voters at the family leadership sonnet in des moines, iowa on friday. but notice really absent from that summit? former president donald trump was been sparring with iowa governor kim reynolds who says she is remaining neutral and she won't endorsed a candidate ahead of the caucuses. now, despite skipping traditional campaign, stop trump still hold firm as the front runner in the race. the, latest florida, atlanta university poll shows that even in governor ron desantis's home state of florida, former president trump holds a 20% lead over him with gop voters. with other candidates still trailing much further behind. joining me now is victor, she shouted you director of voters of tomorrow. former white house intern and he was the youngest delegate to president biden in 2020. victor, my friend, always circuit that have you on the show. i wanted to start with you with that fau poll. it clearly points to trouble for the desantis campaign. and it's also 18 vote profile
5:16 am
detailing the efforts by young floridians who are actively campaigning against ron desantis. pointing to its so-called don't say gay bill another culture war issues. , victor is there anything, anything underscore anything wrong does undiscovered to the youth vote that would turn the tide and maybe have gained some favor with those voters? >> absolutely, not what we are seeing from ron desantis right now it's so -- every young voters stand for and you, know it is policy but it's also just character and charisma. i remember this one moment when wrong this and this is talking with a bunch of students at this press conference, basically all that the students for wearing a mask. this is someone who is such a bully, i think so many people and it's never a good sign when you are chilling that far behind in your opponent state. it is because of this person who won on the issues it is so against everything that just regular people want. it is never a good sign when you are trailing from that
5:17 am
state because he is an acting these really for coney and measures. people don't find, popular especially younger voters. also as a presidential candidate, he will has more on his right to do the campaign work and himself and that's never been said either. this is presidential, candidate he's so we can i think is biggest miscalculation of governors also presidential candidate they think the rest of the country governors like florida's. he thinks it could be extreme and resonate with voters. young voters across the country are in huge numbers, i don't think there's anything that you could deal with it around. you look at the polling and why people say this, support donald trump for more than run the santas, it's not because the policy. it is not because of, issues because the personality and loyalty. those are things that are really hard for people. >> you know victor, i just spoke with dr. emily boevers, a physician, ob/gyn in the state of iowa. then of a six-week abortion ban in place. we saw though that the mobilizing effect that it had for all democrats in the midterms but especially with young voters.
5:18 am
so how are these new restrictive abortion laws for example in florida as well as iowa influencing young voters choices for 2024? >> you know, i always wondered to myself one republicans will finally learn a lesson because what we saw in 2022, it was not a clear indication that republicans should stop having these four conan abortion laws. i don't know will be less support for republicans. what we saw in 2022 was something remarkable after the fall of what we saw young voters who are just a huge number, we tell young voters turn up in places like kansas and then again in wisconsin and again in 2022 instate all across the country with michigan. where abortion was on the ballot and basically the message to republicans was supposed to be stop acting, stop instituting these for coney an abortion measures that you still see republicans like kim reynolds, republican states like iowa still and acting these measures. i don't think will be popular with many young voters who just want to see their rights protected. somehow, these republicans are listening to young voters in that will hurt them in 2024 big
5:19 am
time. >> vector, another critical issue for the youth vote, student loan debt and supreme court delivered a blow to the biden administration this term by taking down a student loan forgiveness executive order but just yesterday, the department announced loan forgiveness for 800,000 borrowers to correct issues with income driven repayment plans. let's speak frankly, that is just a fraction of what the president has promised. so why should democrats address this particular issue? they candidates with young voters? >> i think it is really important to underscore that president biden promised on the 2020 campaign trail, and see what forgive student loans. he forgive, that he fulfilled that campaign promise but it's because of the right word extreme supreme court that turned it down. so when we talk about who we should blame, it should not be president biden. he has done everything that he could possibly do to forgive student loan for borrowers for people who are kind of going through that situation. it is because of the supreme court that struck it down. that is the direct thing bafta
5:20 am
understand and that's for 2024 will be so important because we cannot afford to let them out of republican president. if we do, they could -- appoint another person like justice kavanaugh, not just this course edge, someone who so rightward who can really change things for conversations to come. what we saw from yesterday from president biden and his administration was look, it's not as good as what it once was in terms of for giving everyone student loans but it's a step forward. it doesn't administration saying they're committed to working on young, voters and young voters under making their lives better at the end of the, day it's up to all of us to really realize in order to get the change. we must run out in 2024 but this president is committed to delivering for our lives. >> well i'm not only counting you victor, and the youth vote but as that saying, goes don't underestimate the power of a pistol of generation. that is you guys. you guys have delivered time and time again. victor, she thank you for joining us this morning and talking about the's vote. it is very important. >> still to come on the katie phang show, trump's desperate

5:25 am
stops in this desperate attempts to stop the legal freight train that is bearing down on him. a week of desperate defenses including most recently in georgia as trump's together throughout the final report of the special grand jury in the 2020 election interference investigation. as well as trying to disqualify fulton county d.a. fani willis, just weeks before indictments are expected in. which comes on the tail of a motion, filed earlier this week by trump's lawyers. to push the mar-a-lago classified documents child back quote indefinitely which of trump seemed gets their way could allay the proceedings indolent after the 2024
5:26 am
election. special counsel, jack smith responding in a scathing filing taking down trump's weak excuse as one by one in order to enforce going to trial sometime soon. telling federal district court ailing cannon quote there is no basis in law or fact for a proceeding in such an indeterminate and an open-ended fashion. joining me now is former federal prosecutor and southern district of new york and former watergate assistant prosecutor jon sale. john, welcome back to the show. , look right now in the mar-a-lago documents case, that ball is in trump appointed judge aileen cannon's court. now we may get some answers regarding scheduling at this hearing on tuesday july 18th. this action to see their hearing. what are you specifically looking for to come out of this hearing on tuesday? >> no one is watching judge cannon, the whole world is watching if our criminal justice system is going to work. so first of all, this is a
5:27 am
required hearing on tuesday under super. the classified documents procedures act and i think judge cannon is going to hold both parties feeds to the fire. so trump's motion to put off the trial and definitely is a legal per se. under our speedy trial act, the court has to set a date for the trial. and it's beyond 70 days which is almost always is, the court has to make a finding that is in the interest of justice to exclude several times from that calculations. some of the arguments that are made in the trump motion, i would describe the political arguments. i do something that they have a place and any legal filing. former president trump has the right to make all of those arguments that he wants. he has a first amendment right in his campaign but those don't belong in the political pleading in my opinion. but first of all, this is not a case of first impressions.
5:28 am
the authority of special counsel's been upheld not in their circles so they have a right to raise that. some of the other. arguments are legal arguments so they can be briefed, the parties will fire, the judge will file a briefing schedule. they will be decided like the presidential records act, i think they are wrong. think that the civil statute. it does not give him a right to take documents with him but whether that is correct or not, that's another legal animate that judge cannon will decide. if they have other motions to make that require evidentiary hearings, the judge will set them. the volume of discovery, hundreds of thousands of documents in the year 2023, that is not uncommon. those documents are loaded, uploaded on to a platform. there are key words used and those are the kind of cases that i work with and we just deal with those. phil the only unknown is the deeper issues and the media may be disappointed because some of
5:29 am
that on tuesday maybe close courtroom but the courts required to appoint what is called a court security officer. apperson becomes an officer of the court and will assist in sorting out those documents, finding a place which the government is already does unaided -- expediting the clearances. i think what judge cannon will do is that the trial, it's not a trial date which will set another status conference and bringing in the parties and see where they are at. and at that point, she was that a reasonable trial date. remember, the newer county case is set for march. that needs to be brought into mine. i don't think the political considerations, first it is going to be wiley's running for president. that is gonna, be while we have the i.r.a. caucuses. then it will be the focus of presidential debates. all of that shoe is not something i think a court should decide and reconsider, i
5:30 am
don't think judge cannon will. >> john quickly before up to let you, go a lot of the legal arguments, let's focus on the legal arguments that are raised by donald trump and his opposition and getting the trial continued have already been disposed of by the 11th circuit, correct? because when they were all of the challenges brought by donald trump, vis-à-vis getting a special master appointed, a lot of the arguments that he raised in that special master arguments were dealing with whether or not a special master could be put in place. whether or not this prosecution of the search warrant can be done et cetera, is that the rug. is there any way for the doj slash judge cannon to make short thrift you know quickly of this league are arguments by donald trump in just a merely say, you know what these are denied and we can focus on just the classified documents procedures to make sure we can go to trial, quickly? >> or there is some different arguments, they have some legitimate motions that can be made. judge cannon was a briefing schedule. each side with a brief,
5:31 am
lieutenant will decide. i don't think it'll be a problem but there are different issues like what is the authority of attorney general to appoint the special counsel, to investigate these types of crimes. that is up in the side and then the 11th circuit, it has been decided elsewhere. those are matters that the court will decide. it is not required inordinate amount of time. >> jon sale, as, always thank you for bringing in your wisdom and experience. we look forward to seeing what happens on tuesday at that section two hearing and we have you back to break it all down. thank you so much. >> thanks gary nice this eu. >> up next, seeing the scene. the heartbreaking final memories as families visit the building before it is scheduled demolition in the parkland shooting. i will talk with one parkland parent on how he and his family are still working to pick up the pieces. stay with us, much more on the katie fang is still ahead. fang is still ahead.

5:35 am
in parkland, florida. an anti new gunman armed with an ar-15-style semiautomatic rifle, just walked into marjorie stoneman douglas high school opening fire and killing 14 students and three staff members in under four minutes. the school building where the massacre took place has been closed since the shooting, preserved as a crime scene left with remnant of the violence and the bloodshed. this, week as a part of the
5:36 am
pending civil lawsuit against former death -- for his alleged inaction as well as the broward sheriff's office and others, parents of the opportunity to privately visit the building one last time before the planned demolition. many left with the heartbreaking last memories of their child from that life altering bay. when the bill parents is here with me now. i have the honor of having max shafter, founder and ceo of safe schools for alex here. max of the parent of alec shafter who was just 14 years old when he was killed and the marjory stoneman douglas high school shooting. max, i think you during the break for being here because and others are never easy conversations to have but your willingness to engage the public on what you have experience at think will move the needle, hopefully it more quickly than we have seen happen. we were talking about how you have the opportunity to go and visit marjorie still mandible us with more specifically, the building where your son was a freshman at the time was murdered. you have the chance to go to his classroom.
5:37 am
can you share with our viewers and with me how that was for you to have this chance? i had a friend max that for the longest, you didn't want to get into the minutiae. he did not want to go into the detail so you surprise when you kind of said i will do this. i will go and see where my son alex died. >> i'm on the msg commission, i knew more than most by what happened in alex's classroom. and then i want to know because it was so painful but after the scott peterson trial, we got an opportunity to go into that building what we had not had before and i wanted to know. i wanted to see what happened and i wanted to sit in alex's chair. i wanted to see where he took his last breath and when i got in there, i had no idea that it was going to be a war zone. it was a horror movie, there was blood everywhere and i walked in there and alex's chair was covered with blood. there was blood all over the
5:38 am
floor. they even had an english pipe that he was writing that was on the ground and it was extremely painful to see that knowing that alex went through this. >> how did you have the courage and the fortitude to do this? what made you feel like it was time for you to be able to go an experience of last moments of years and would've experience on that day? >> i wanted to be connected, i wanted to connect with alex. that is where he, was that where he took his last breath. i wanted to be in that space and i wanted to be there, it was my way of loving him. >> you are given maybe a couple of days later after he walked the halls of marjory still minute douglas, a box. it at alex's backpack, his lunch box and other of his personal belongings. it was, taped it at biohazard paired on it.
5:39 am
i know you posted on social media that you are not sure if you'll ever able to open the box. have you had the chance to open? it are you going to open it? >> you know i wanted all of that including alex his poem that i had found as i was struggling to write his eulogy at 5:00 in the morning. the night before his funeral. my son, alex his older brother and said look at the trash can. and what we found was a crumpled up poem that was called life is like a rollercoaster. i don't even know he had written it and i wanted the original back he had handed into his english teacher. he was killed an english class and i wanted that original back. i wanted anything that had, that was alex's. alex for that backpack that they are aware that backpack as well but when i got this pop where it's at the effect on, and i did not know that meant. and the prosecutors are telling me that effect a something that has a bullet strike through it.
5:40 am
i couldn't believe it you know, i wanted this back. it was alex's, it was the lasting that he touched and then, to be told that that had a bullet through it, it just changed everything for me. now it represented so much pain that alex was going through at that time when he was standing up to try and run away from the gunman. he didn't have time and alex was shot twice in the chest. >> max, let's talk about this reenactment that's been allowed to occur and it's going to occur. that details of this were shocking to me. they are actually going to take blanks in an ar-15 style weapon, allow someone to actually track the steps of nikolas cruz, the murder in this case. also, more importantly track the steps or the enactment of scott peterson, who is a deputy at the time. who is that the, school who did it respond even knowing that kids were being killed.
5:41 am
other staff members are being killed and injured. how do you feel about this reenactment? one and two, i do feel about the criminal verdict which is not guilty for scott peterson? >> this reenactment is so critical because of the precedent that the acquittal happen in the criminal trial. the acquittal basically says a school resource officer does not happen a duty to respond when it gets or getting killed. this reenactment is going to prove that he's got peterson that. now in the criminal trial, he said that he didn't hear the gunshots. we know that the shooting started at 2:21, but 2:23 he was dropped off at the front of that building. now the building campus, he was dropped off at one building, the 1200 building which is where the gunman went into the building and started shooting. and when he arrived there at 2:23, it was the same time that the murderer killed aaron faye's. so this reenactment is
5:42 am
critical. it will show there is no possible way that he did not hear those gunshots. he was feet away from that building, and then he went and retreated. there were 70 gunshots of an ar-15 going off. there is no possible way that he did not hear and he stood back, all officers often know you know that there are, they will be held responsible. they are going to be repercussions if they retreat for 40 minutes when kids are dying and bleeding in that building. you have to correct the injustice that happened in the criminal trial. >> let's talk about correcting that injustice. you have said you want to take your anguish and you want to convert it. you want to make it into advocacy. tell our viewers about what you are doing? going to d.c., you know the reintroduction of alyssa's law, safer schools for alex. what are you doing to be able to change your pain and make it into advocacy? >> i am doctor gotta do that,
5:43 am
up in washington d.c. but the more immediate saying is that if you are going through that building, i shouldn't have to go through that building by myself. the elected leaders that we elect to congress, the congressman, the senators, i don't want them just to like my tweet. i want them to come with me through that building so that they can see the implications and ramifications and their policies and procedures when you don't prioritize safety and security above education. because you cannot teach get kids and i want, i won all of these legislators from around the country doesn't have to be from florida. they should all come with me. join forces with the parkland families, and 17 families that lost their loved ones. they all should come with me. walk next to me through that building. see what happen and i think we would have a much safer world if that happened.

sent up to the power. when he fights to rebuild his state, to empower people. to secure the future. if not to be told about man, it seemed i wrote a book about it. but if you want some of the show you courage, some lucas khust the senate. >> republican senator josh hawley has some very serious competition and missouri's 2024 u.s. senate race. earlier this, year a democrat and united states marine veteran lucas coons announced his bid and he is coming for josh hawley. cohen says his main focus is to bring back power to the working class and he is turn that mission into a fund raising machine. clinton's campaign is already outweighs hollies after bringing in more than two point $3 million since january. joining me now to discuss his campaign and his platform is missouri democratic senate candidate lucas kunce. lucas, i was of spending time with you because you always
5:50 am
deliver it straight. your campaigns have always been very clear about you will be able to do for the people of missouri and you launched your campaign with a blistering ad on the second anniversary of the january 6th attack capitol, showing the infamous image of josh hawley raising his fist and calling quote, a killer. i was a message of being an alternative to josh hawley currently resonating with perspective voters? >> well i mean it is slamming right? because what i want to do is i want to fundamentally change was the power in this country. i want to take it back for everyday missourians and that's what missourians want here. i mean you know, people like josh hawley not been taking money from the wrong people of making decisions for them rather than for the rest of us, literally shaping our communities for a price for the donors. people are tired of, that they are tired of these weird control freaks like him and they want to control in the bedroom, and the doctor's office, in the workplace. he has this book out called manhood we're trying to tell you exactly how to be a man. it is all very weird and creepy
5:51 am
and what people want is what i want to do. i want to invest in our state. i want to make sure that we have good jobs, i want every day people who live here to have the ability to take care of themselves. >> you know lucas, i want to focus on the idea of the fundraising, right? not only have you been bringing in the money which means people believe in you but you have made sure you haven't taken money from corporate tax rate? you have been very careful about where you've been getting your money from. why is that such an important point for this particular campaign? >> well i mean cannon back to what i was just saying. these guys they take money from the wrong people and then they use that money and they use their donors advice to literally strip our communities for parts. i can see that in the neighborhood i grew up and were like the first house i lived in is now an empty lot. and they want to join the marine corps out of has no windows in it. the corner stores boarded up and so for, me what i want to make sure that the only people i ever owe are the people who took care of my family when we went bankrupt when i was
5:52 am
little. right? these are the people in my neighborhood who had no more money than us who past the plate down at their churches, they brought like more tuna casserole by the house and we could ever eat and took care of us. so i don't take money from corporate tax but i also don't take money from federal obvious. no fossil fuel executives, no big farm executives. i want to take money from these people woman damaging our communities. and you are still able to raise record money. with an average donation of $33, we raise more than anyone in missouri history at this point. so it is super exciting for us because it is what people want and it's a message that will win. >> lucas, you served our country honorably. you also made sure that you did not just do you know talk the talk, you will walk the walk. you want to return, do more public service by serving in the united states senate. josh hawley on the other, hand he likes to run away from when there is trouble. not only does fomented but then it dashes off like a coward. but this toxic masculinity thing that josh hawley seems to be specializing, in trying to write a book by the way did not ask at my note and not as the
5:53 am
one star on the review. just one star on that review probably written by josh hawley. why don't you explain for our viewers right now what you think is being a man? i don't want to say that this campaign with against arch highly, evolved into that but i do feel like this emphasis on him being a coward and what masculinity is defined as, kind of become a little bit of a conversation point. >> well yes i mean for me to taking care of your community and doing the right thing where nobody is looking. something i learn from veterans going, up the reason i joined the marine corps is the guy who is the marine corps veteran from vietnam. brought us a dishwasher when he renovated his house and he did not get a special mask because he wanted to take care of him. he was not getting credit for that, nobody was looking. in fact i'll be a headache for them to pull out of saturday afternoon. he did it because he cared about other, people when you have people like josh hawley and this is why it's evolved in this situation. who literally only care about
5:54 am
power for themselves, you've got a january 6th riot? and thanks to give you some power, he's out there raising his fist, up, across trying to be a tough guy and then this thick and things get real, he's getting off the back door and running away. this is what we are dealing with, you show no masculinity a thing for whatever reason. and again, it comes off as weird and creepy because for me, i just want to talk about the people i grew up, around the people i saw take care of their community. know the people we have all across the state of missouri, who want to invest and take care of their communities and he is not doing that for. he is telling us what to do? right he is on addressing it, has not taken care of us, not making it so we can make the decisions to make our lives better. it is all about control and power for this guy and i'm telling, you missourians are tired of being controlled and they want have some power back. >> lucas kunce, thanks for joining us again, always look at this eu. i wish you luck with everything and come back and keep us posted. >> thank you for having me. >> and we've also for the,
