the fbi received information there would be a shooting at marjory stoneman douglas high school.bi received a detailed warning at the national call center weeks before the attack. they never forwarded that to the south florida field office, even after that specific threat was linked to an earlier threat that was called in about the same shooter. and get this. the shooter himself even posted on the internet, i am going to be a professional school shooter. if a student rented a billboard with that on it, the fbi if they saw it would suddenly use first amendment free speech to defend their refusal to do anything. and the greatest loss of life was the fbi's handling of the attack on 9/11. there were 12 separate opportunities reported where the fbi could have disrupted the plot and saved 3,000 lives. of course, many referred to organizational deficiencies which is double speak that the fbi for all their talk about law enforcement partners don't play well with them and don't share information with them. just ask the cia. another failure. in 2016 the pulse nightclub shooting in orlando,

the number of people murdered in marjory stoneman douglas high school in parkland, florida. tom rice and donald trump and every other republican in washington did absolutely nothing in response to that mass murder at that high school. nothing. that mass murder was a lot scarier for those kids in that high school than it was for tom rice when he was on the floor hearing that beating on the door. those kids in that high school heard a lot worse than beating on the door and suffered much more than any member of congress did. i almost never use the word "brave" to describe doing the ruth thing in congress. the bravest votes i ever saw in congress were some democrats who voted for a tax increase in 1993, knowing that it was going to cost them their seat in the house and the senate. but they thought it was the fiscally responsible thing to do. that's what i thought a brave vote was until now. the ten republicans who voted for impeachment in the house today each cast a very brave vote, possibly the bravest vote i've ever seen. all the democrats who voted for impeachment, especially

member of congress now who's a full-on qanon person, thinks 9/11 was an inside job, thanks marjory stoneman douglasarty right now? or are there several? >> there are several, but unfortunately the largest right now, i think, is trump loyalists and part of that trump loyalist faction is true conspiracy theatres and kooks who have not been repudiated. you cannot have a serious political party a responsible party that tolerates this on the extremes. you need it to draw some lines. otherwise i think steve schmidt is right, the extremes start to gobble up the right wing and the right wing gobbles the center, and you end up with a party that's terrified of its most extreme members. that's what we've had. that vote on january 6th, you know, the capitol is stormed, we see what happens, and then 140, 135 house republicans a clear majority of them vote to overturn the election results in arizona and pennsylvania based on nothing, based on nothing. i mean, what does that say? the senate republicans, there's a little more hope there. senators are different from members of the house, but the members of the hous
