i have chair committee mondaire jones.or coming back on the show. >> thanks for having me back. >> i know that you understand politically this bill needs 60 to pass. talk about advancing a bill that may only get through one chamber and not the other to pass. do you feel this is necessary to make a point? >> this is absolutely necessary. for what it's worth, i'm not giving up hope that there will be 10 republican senators of good conscience to join my democratic colleagues and i to pass commonsense legislation that is broadly supported like what you just described to end gun violence in this country. i was 11 years old when columbine happened. as horrified as i was, i never imagined that mass shootings, especially in schools, would become the norm. this is an american problem, and regardless of what my republican colleagues decide to do, democrats have to act in this moment and we have to show the american people that we are fighting tooth and nail to end gun violence. >> as part of this fight, would you support what this b

and we have more from mondaire jones and molly jones, contributing writer of the atlantic and author,st of the podcast the new abnormal. thank you both for joining me. moll lick let's cut to the chase. are congressional democrats cut out for this political moment that we are in? >> i would like them to be. i think there's an opportunity here. i mean they've got it together. they've got, you know, they've got the information, right, we know a lot of stuff, we know there's going to be, you know, tapes and videos and photos, and there's a lot of proof out there, clearly trump, you know, did a lot of crime-based stuff, so the hope is, yes, i mean they tried to, you know, they steer away from such things, because they work so well, or because they don't want to seem partisan or they think that since they're the good guys, they'll win anyway, and as we've seen from benghazi, these congressional investigations are extremely effective, and successful, and so let's hope this january 6th committee does change hearts and minds. >> indeed. david, you often hear from democrats off the record, well

that may be a way to get things done if you cannot push them through on capitol hill. >> i quote mondaire jonesout a year ago in my book, "saving nine." he is one of the first members of congress who started actively pushing this early last year, and look, as i explain in "saving nine," shannon, they're all kinds kinds of reasons why the american people should be taking this that very seriously. this is the kind of maneuver they can bring about at any moment. this is the one action that is not unconstitutional but that could destroy the constitution. that has its necessary effect when you diminish the objectivity and independence of the judiciary you destroy the constitutional structure. the book "saving nine" explains how you can defend the independence of the judiciary by learning the facts. these are facts that are no longer taught in american schools. this book does that job for you. >> shannon: okay, but congress has change the number of justices over the years -- >> sure. >> shannon: so why shouldn't that be game for conversation? >> we have not done it in 153 years for good reason becaus

. >> democratic congressman mondaire jones of new york, in a passionate address speaking directly to against gun reform measures. the congressman joins us now, and "the washington post's" eugene robinson has the first question. >> congressman jones, good to speak with you. that was a very powerful speech yesterday. clearly the judiciary committee and the democratic majority in the house are prepared to act, prepared to perhaps take meaningful action on gun violence. over in the senate, however, clearly it is a different picture. let's suppose that the senate actually does something. but it's woefully inadequate, it is terribly incremental, it doesn't really move the ball but an inch or a centimeter, but it is something. is the house then prepared to say okay, you know, we didn't get what we need, but we did get this, would the house be prepared to go along with that sort of move by the senate? but, again, incremental and inadequate, but that's something as opposed to nothing. >> first of all, great to be with you all. listen, we have got to pass legislation that makes a difference in

mondaire jones from new york, when we were moving some of these bills through committee said, quote, you will not stop us from passing gun control. if the filibuster obstructs us we will abolish. we will not rest until we have taken weapons of war. justin trudeau agrees. but he is the prime minister of canada. canada doesn't have a second amendment. just today i was walking from the senate side to the house side and reporter asked me and pointed out inaccurately does the second amendment grant us the right to bear arms. nothing. the bill of rights grants us nothing. the second amendment is the limitation on the ability of government to infringe our preexisting rights just as the declaration recognized. we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights that is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. this is the extension of the right to life and hopefully tomorrow we will see the supreme court defend life. you can't defend freedom without defending life. one of the key instruments defending life is the right to keep and bear arms. people refer to some weapons as weapon
