but i do want people to pay very close attention to what josh hawley is doing.nator ted cruz and a lot of others. this is going to be the big election lie version 2. it's where they try to shift the explanation away from the crazy conspiracy theories to something that sounds a little more reasonable, but i think people need to understand that the issues that he is raising there have all, to your point, been adjudicated. they were either rejected by the courts or the courts said we are not hearing these objections because they're being dealt with at the state level. republicans in congress are going to try to change the subject and claim that this is about how the rules were changed during covid, but those complaints should have been logged, were logged before the election, not after the election. it's really just an effort to obscure that they all are trying to kind of paper over their support for trump's election lies, and really deceiving voters because at the end of the day, when trump looks at who he's going to endorse, he wants to know who thinks the electi

josh hawley were presents missouri in the senate he joins us tonight. think so much for coming on. these red flag laws which exist in some states gone marillyn hewson up and charged with anything he was shot by the police last week. how likely do you think this is to get to the united states senate's widths backing? >> unfortunately it looks like it's more and more like it tucker we don't know what's in the text of this bill because nobody has seen it. or at least i haven't seen it in my theory is worriedly asked to vote on it may be as early as this week. final passage and no one has yet seen the text of the thing. i think there is an increasingly high likelihood that this will pass and here's the deal. is my view is that it's time to be honest with the american were not talking here about isolated incidents pinprick at the school or that school. we talk about a wave across the entire country of violence. we ought to be doing is a crime bill that will focus on criminals not law-abiding citizens, criminals. people who commit the crimes and use guns to c

missouri senator josh hawley responding on twitter "it should be crystal clear what the green new dealns. we are seeing it in action. gas prices to bankrupt the middle class families, soaring inflation, domestic energy destroyed in favor of china." president biden spent last weekend in delaware where he made way for snapping at a reporter who pressed him about economists predicting a recession. >> not the majority are saying that, come on, don't make things up, okay? you sound like my republican politicians, i'm joking. that was a joke. all kidding aside, no, i don't think it is. what is inevitable about a recession? >> the gas price hovering $5 a gallon and diesel prices staying above $5.80 today. today is mike huckabee to take on the lack of action by president biden on the economy and just about everything else. >> you know, there is an old rule in politics when in public service in an office, sometimes you are doing something great, but it doesn't look like you are doing anything. there are other times when you really aren't doing anything, but it looks like you are doing something

that saves lives while some republicans are open-minded, missouri senator josh hawley is not in favor of what's on the table. i don't particularly the red flag laws when you're taking away some buddies. >> second amendment rights when they have not yet committed a crime. and with an emotional plea, former congresswoman gabby giffords herself a victim of gun violence called on lawmakers to be courageous and take action. >> now is the time to come together. be responsible. >> and republican lawmakers are backing away from the idea of changing the age limit or banning assault-style weapons. something the white house was hoping to include in the bill reporting in washington, reshad hudson, back to you. >> now to the east bay in this year's of violent crime in oakland has prompted one city leader to call for the national guard. this idea, though, is not catching on with some council members who are also running for mayor of the city kron four's has our story. >> take a close look at this video of a dangerous drive by shooting. witnesses say luckily no one was seriously injured. it happened

langford and steve daines expressing doubt about incentivizing states to pass red state laws and josh hawley saying it's an attack on second amendment rights. is this going to get done? >> don, i think something is going to get done. it may not be as much as many people like, maybe not as much as i'd like. i would urge my republican colleagues in the senate to let them know that nobody is going to lose an election over expanding background checks to private sales of firearms. not going to lose an election over that. i'd tell them taking the age limit to 21 for long guns purchase is not an infringement on anybody's second amendment rights. i support second amendment laws. red flag laws won't cause you to lose your primary after he became senator as a governor. so bottom line is i think they will get something because the american public expects something to happen. there is a crisis here over these mass shootings and i think they -- congress' default position is to do nothing. that's usually the default position. in this case, this is a time to act. they have an opportunity to do something an

and when you are no longer of use to them, josh hawley, you know, and company. what happens to you? just ask marlbrook's, what happens to them? he lost primary tonight because trump unendorsed him, because he did not like something he said. seriously people. get a grip. >> al, you have experienced firsthand when they come for you. you know what a smear campaign does. how did it make you feel to watch this, that the president of the united states, reached all the way down to a poll worker, and had her life terrorized. >> giuliani called ruby freeman a professional vote scammer and hustler. >> she was giving her mom a mint. she was exchanging a mint with her daughter. >> this is, again, i go back to luttig, and current present danger, this is brownshirts. it's what we are looking at. when these mobs come for people. and that is what, you know, actually we had a guy camp auschwitz sweatshirts. we had the confederate flag. this is kind of what the republican party, not michael's republican party, but a lot of the republican party now, has become. and that's what lut

but missouri republican senator josh hawley says he's not convinced by the congestion is the red flag. i don't think that we ought to be paying states. >> to develop programs to take away second amendment rights are people who have not been. >> charged with a crime who have not to get educated to have committed a crime. let alone convicted of crimes. still, the bill has the needed republican support. 14 senate republicans voted to advance the bill tuesday. >> and senate majority leader chuck schumer says a final vote will take place by friday in washington. i'm anna wiernicki. >> the fda is reportedly ready to ban jewel e-cigarettes that would remove the former top e-cigarette maker from the u.s. market. this decision comes after a nearly two-year review of data presented by the vaping company. juul has not commented and it could appeal the decision. the fda already targeted the company from marketing to younger smokers by promoting fruity flavors for the past 2 years, only tobacco and menthol flavors have been on the market. >> events today and the nation's capital marking the 50th a

missouri republican senator josh hawley supports the bill but says he's growing concerned the pressure campaign will work there. certainly. >> twisting people's arms. so carl's abo what netchoice a firm representing tech groups says not much arm twisting is necessary. economic studies show that this legislation will increase inflation and as more and more members of congress realize the bad effects of this bill. >> they're backing away incredibly fast. the department of justice supports the legislation. klobuchar says she wants to see a vote by 4th of july. they're not going to slow walk it to death in washington. raquel martin. >> hundreds of thousands of teslas could be recalled depending on what comes of an investigation into the company's autopilot software, national highway transportation safety administration officials are moving into an engineering analysis phase for 830,000 teslas with autopilot functionality. that analysis is the last investigation stage before a potential recall. so far the investigation has found instances where the auto pilot has failed to avoid collisions

category, republicans with national ambitions with higher ambitions, i spoke to senator ted cruz, josh hawley and they're not touching this negotiation. they're keeping their distance from it. they're promoting this theory unfounded as it may be in this case that they're worried any action taken would be a slippery slope to ending gun rights, that's not what people are talking about here. cornyn is emphasizing that's not what's on the table. and finally if you look at the prevalence of mass shootings in the united states, they're exponentially higher than other developed countries there is no evidence that the u.s. has more mental health problem than other countries it has much easier access and availability of deadly weapons. that seems to be the key variable driving this. that doesn't matter in terms of the politics of this so much, because there is a strong progun contingent in the country, that is very well represented in the senate through the structure of it and the fact that rural states have overrepresentation as a share of thejuanita, you t, it is extraordinary when you talk about a

. >> josh hawley also says the administration plans to coordinate with twitter to share information aboutns engaging in misinformation, or rather, information the administration does not like, and there appears to be evidence showing that nina jankowicz, dubbed the mary poppins of disinformation, was picked to head up the board because of her close ties to twitter. >> the whole idea here and the documents show this is the government would get together with big tech and collect information on americans who were raising these questions. i mean, how dare you. >> there are also questions about secretary mayorkas' statement before congress. on may 4th, he testified there were no records about the disinformation board because the board had not yet begun. yet in late april, nina jankowicz tweeted she had been working on the board for months. so far, no comment from the administration, shannon. >> shannon: all right, trace gallagher, thank you very much, great to see you. three people are dead, 1 inch in critical condition tonight after a shooting at a manufacturing business in western maryland.

senators chris grassley, josh hawley, sent a letter to homeland security secretary mayorkas, you guyspaign push by the now-defunct censorship board than anybody realized. you would coordinate with twitter, federal, state, local tribal groups, basically censor things about origin of the pandemic, masking and much more. >> exactly. i would say that fox news and fox business absolutely realized what was going on as soon as it was announced. "new york times" might have taken the government's word for it because the government immediately started to backtrack when they got busted doing this. they were not quite ready. the person put in charge made a total fool of themselves caught pushing partisan misinformation themselves. they backtracked. hold on a second, this was advisory board. would not have any power. would coordinate to stop bad things like child pornography and terrorist threats. turns out that was not true. we learned about that from whistle-blowers, department of homeland security, went to senators grassley, hawley, they were planning much more. there was one example of a meeti

women, let's just be honest was brazen disrespect from senators like lindsey graham, senators like josh hawleyk when you watched that hearing? i will tell you >>. joy. i experienced great joy when i watched this brilliant, phenomenal black women jurist be so smart, and just cut through the political gamesmanship that they were attempting to incite. and she was just so composed. and as far as i'm concerned it was taking on a lot of people to school. and i watched that with incredible joy, because it was just brilliance. being displayed for the entire country to see. and i cannot wait -- if that could only be matched by the joy that i experienced when i see her take the oath peter, to be the next justice on the united states supreme court. >> we started off today on your plane, air, talking about first woman, first black women, first asian american woman, first abc you grab it, and first member of the divine nine. >> thank you very much. >> to be vice president of the united states. what does it say about our country, that we have this duality? so many more potential firsts. stacey abrams runnin

. >> i found this having from senator josh hawley of missouri, he says that he thinks the roe decision is going to drive more americans to move to states that align more closely with their political views, but he wasn't subtle in pointing out that that could help republicans pick up more electoral college votes. what do you make of his argument? >> maybe. i mean, we are now having a sorting of states according to social policy and this more than many others might cause people to reconsider where they move. i'm not sure senator hawley is correct in that this will be a mass exodus to red states. i think a lot of democrats would think the reverse, people would want to live in a more correspondent pluralistic environment. so we'll see. all these political predictions could go both ways, but it is connecting decisions in washington to the kind of life americans want. and these decisions are becoming more pertinent with each court ruling from guns to abortion. >> and potentially more decisions that up end what have been deemed established constitutional rights acording to that concurring opi

i mean, missouri senator josh hawley was already on a conference call with reporters in his home staten talking about how he thinks this will make liberals move out of red states and ultimately hand more senate seats to republicans, which of course, would solidify any advantage they might have in our electoral college in our elections which of course, this is fundamentally what it's about. our elections and who won these elections that got us to this point today. >> mary, do you think the american legal debate on abortion is now over in terms of u.s. supreme court cases? or are we going to see other cases popping up here in d.c.? obviously in the state level, it's going to be different. >> i think it's not over at the u.s. supreme court level, too. we saw in justice thomas' opinion and justice alito's majority some kind of a wink and nod to the idea that maybe there are fetal rights in the constitution. we saw justice kavanaugh kind of worrying out loud about cases involving retroactive liability for abortions that have already been performed or efforts to regulate abortions that are h

so when they raise background checks, josh hawley a year ago talked about then registration being a threato liberty. this is a canard based on a fabulous distortion of the holocaust claiming prior gun registration lists enabled it. this is completely untrue, but this is the kind of propaganda the gun lobby's put out, that nobody is challenged yet in the united states. if you talk to anybody in the gun rights community, if you go to any nra meeting or go to gun clubs and you ask peopleey explain to me the slippery slope, they will read it like it's gospel truth. this is part of the problem. amy: frank, we have to wrap up now but i wanted to ask you about the fact isn't the nra at its lowest with corruption probes, enter fighting? the interaction of the nra, and you describe this so well in your book, with the gun industry and how much power that has and its nexus, how it all got exposed at sandy hook. >> the nra is imploding, in my view. i think they will not survive and new york attorney general civil lawsuit against them for mass embezzlement where the charges originated with the whistleb
