and secondly, inevitably, chris, there will be and thomas massie will be proven wrong.int that should inform all of our judgment on gun deaths is that the united states, per capita, for 100 people, has a higher density of gun ownership by a rate of 3 to 10 times than other developed countries and we have 3 to 10 times the gun deaths in the united states, compared to other developed countries. it is the guns and i think that's what bowman was making clear. >> massie there, to not defend him, but i think to be clear here, you know? the gun lobby matters a lot, but you're not putting your family on a christmas card holding guns for the gun lobby. like, again, like, the fetishes asian, the celebration of the gun, is an intense cultural totem for folks. it's not, like, it's obviously i think been created by a gun industry that needs to sell weapons, but, you know, i think these people really do think that, like, every single american carrying a weapon would be better for the country. i think that is their vision. >> that is right. yeah, chris, i think it's an important diffe

amy: republican thomas massie responded to bowman, "there's never been a school shooting in a schoolows teachers to carry." in 2021, congressman massie tweeted a photo of himself and six family members holding assault-style rifles, with the caption, "merry christmas! p.s., santa, please bring ammo." this comes after manuel oliver, father of joaquin, one of 17 people killed in the 2018 mass shooting at marjory stoneman douglas high school in parkland, florida, was arrested at a hearing last week in republican-controlled house of representatives after he and his wife patricia spoke out during a subcommittee hearing on the second amendment that was chaired by texas republican pat fallon. florida democrat and committee member maxwell frost tweeted a video of oliver "being arrested for speaking out as a committee hearing. manny is a hero. he didn't deserve this." >> [indiscernible] amy: the video shows capitol police pushing patricia oliver away as they pin her husband manny to the ground outside the hearing room. manny oliver joins us now from his home in parkland, florida. he cofounded

basically the opposite. >> that's from the likes of atoll massie, who says more, guns more safety.aid there's other republicans, you said this is passed in the house before. since you propose this this morning, have you heard from any republican colleagues who could say i could get on board with that? >> no, we only had two republicans in the last congress. one of them is no longer there, and one of them remains. so, we likely have at least one republican vote. but the point is this bill ought to be brought to the floor so the american people can see whether american -- members of congress stand on this issue. and hopefully they will reelect members who are committed to protecting young people this country from the violence, and throw the people who are not willing to do that. but avoiding the vote is cowardly. it avoids -- and allows them to avoid responsibility for the decision. we have an absolute responsibility to show the american people who is fighting for common sense gun safety legislation. it will help keep our kids, our communities safe. and who is standing in the way? >>

it's worth noting that in 2021 massie tweeted this holiday photo showing family members holding guns asking santa to please bring ammo. last year the republican congressman introduced a bill to appeal a federal ban on guns in school zones. let's turn now to investigation surrounding former president trump. nbc news has learned that trump's legal team has appealed a federal judge's ruling ordering his former chief of staff mark meadows and other senior aides to testify before the grand jury that's hearing evidence in special counsel jack smith's investigation in the events leading up to the january 6th insurrection. a source familiar with the matter the appeal filed yesterday stems from a ruling earlier this month from u.s. district judge howell, directed meadows and others to comply with subpoenas for testimony despite trump's claim of executive privilege. the other trump aides include former director of social media dan scavino, stephen miller, robert o'brien, former national intelligence director john ratcliffe. and former white house aide john mcentee. a criminal investigation usu

let's bring in kentucky congressman thomas massie. what is really going on here?ll, let's don't down play the federal reserve's role in this. they started out as santa claus by bringing us almost zero interest rates which pushed people out of safe investments and into things like venture capital. and then they became the arsonists curing covid because when congress'ed to the spend all that money and nobody would loan it to us. the fed just created $5 trillion out of thin air. that's what caused inflation. don't worry, they came in as the fire firefighter to put the fire out by dousing it with high interest rates. and now they are like the triage doctor trying to stabilize the patients, which are the bank. and you know, to your point, your monologue about biden saying oh, well, this won't cost the taxpayers anything. i will rate that as mostly not true. if things get worse. because what they are doing is they insured everybody under $250,000. all the depositors and premiums were paid into that account. but what biden is going to do right now at the fdic they are go

massie: mr. chair, my amendment is quite simple. it expresses the sense of congress that the department of education and the secretary of education should no longer have any authority to administer any program related to elementary or secondary education in the united states. some people may confuse the purpose of my amendment. let me be clear. it is to strengthen public education in the united states. i'm a product of public education. k through 12. i attended public schools. as did my wife and all of our children. we are proud of our schools in this country. but it's time to turn in the grade card for the department of education. they have been at it for 40 years and they get an f. education has not improved but spending has doubled per pupil. it's time to return the power back to the states and back to the people and back to the school boards and to allow them to make these decisions locally. at this time i would like to yield two minutes to my friend from oklahoma. the chair: the gentleman from oklahoma is recognized. mr. breche

tom massie opposed it during the debate.the end of the day we could not get the 60 votes to get something done in the senate. it passed the house, but ultimately it didn't go. the nra was neutral, but the gun owners of america, a group that's to the right you'd say of the nra actively opposed it, and it's very hard, you know, as john cornyn said, senator from texas, he was able to mastermind a bipartisan bill that got through ultimately to the president's desk, but it's going to be really tough, particularly now -- we even had co-sponsors of our bill in the last congress who voted no on the active shooter bill. that's how strong this gun lobby is. and it'd be very difficult to get anything done, even in the event of some terrible tragedy like we saw earlier this week. >> i'm glad you name checked john cornyn. he's been pretty clear that he thinks congress has gone as far as they're probably going to be able to go in kind of the current environment here when it comes to passing legislation that has anything to do with guns. o

background. british government is trying to rebuild relations with its allies in the european union after massy break up that was breaks it. it's also a reaffirmation of old alliances as breton at its european allies support ukraine against russia's full scale invasion. visit will include meetings with german political leaders, but this 1st day was all about protocol, a special welcome for special visitors. britton's king, child sir, 3rd and his wife camilla. germany president flanked by dutch dine. my are welcome to the royal couple with military honors at berlin's brandenburg gate. ah, it's the 1st time the landmark has provided a backdrop for receiving a state guest. on his 1st official state visit abroad as britain's monarch king charles's hoping to improve the you case strained relations with a european union post brakes it and show he can win hearts and minds brought just as his mother did for 7 decades at his residence, you must be view, the german president praised the good relations between the 2 countries and houghton. often to day, 6 years to the day after britain began the process o

joining me now to react, kentucky congressman tom massie, congressma n, i'm i'm kind of surprised that no one seems to be nobody seems to be paying attention to thisto thi executive order today.e what do we need to know? >> well, first of all, look at e where he chose to announce it in california. to announce it where gun contro where gun control laws have h failed. they've got a higher thaavne fal averagede mass public shooting per capita, and they've got some of the strictest gun laws . in fact, he went to los angeles county. unless you're whiteo los angele and well-connected, you probably can't get a permit to carry a concealed firearm. there. fewer than one in five thousand have a concealed carry permit in los angeles county. conc compare that to the forty three states where you can carry it's about one in to ten americans. so he went to a virtual gunl free zone to announce these programs. and one of the thing one of thes that he said he's going to do, we justel heard it right there, is to somehow achiev vere what he cals universal background checks, what he calls universal stopped

i mean, our common massie more, more harmful there, then there is no provision for that in our local setups. and really, i don't know, maybe that will change with time. and maybe there some few, many more elderly homes. but in most times, people live with their old people within the community. do you have very much transitioning happening within kenyon families as young people finish school and they go up to get jobs? do they usually move away from the home, maybe to more urban areas and in those situations, do they come back home when it's time to care for their parents? most times what happens, these young people, we leave the home to go out and look for jobs in the cities in downtown south, in the neighborhoods. but the fact that to that happens is they're still tied to the community a scenario east, the base of family, home base, a father, probably these are my them, their children. once they grow, they will move to their households. and these parents will be left within their home the 2 of them, or 3 of them depending if a man has more than 2 wines. but the young people and they

m massy the scale. and in a short period of time. and that creates an impossible imbalance for the earth capacity to deal with it, to absorb it to do regulate. if we don't stop burning petroleum, oil and gas, we are not addressing the problem. and offsets is a way to not talk about this. there's really no such 2 carbon offset. if you really look at it, it's made up. tom gold tooth is a climate, justice activist, and executive director of the indigenous environmental network. there is no such thing as offsetting pollution. are in that 3. even the scientists agree with this. you can't swap carbon that's been part of brushed and processed across the fields for above ground carbon. in the bible sphere, they're separate entities, but the market system doesn't differentiate that they package it up to gather. so we're being scammed when there's really no, i've said it's just a way of business people to make money and to look good on paper. so if that's in my there, are they upped at scheme where this molecule is coming from? when was he don

if there's that kind t of massie control and massive human rights violation in order to transform the population into more. >> you said that this gets the most attention but is it getting enough attention? >> i don't think it's enough attention just because of the scale of the violation. the degree of the violation. about the worry is to pay more attention and also doing more to try to address the issue. so in a way, i'm happy to see this change. >> said the scale of the abuses according to the ohc ir, the abuses include crimes against humanity, anti-extremism, arbitrarybo detention, forced labor, forced medication and sexual abuse. how's the chinese government let outside observers into the area? >> no, not at all in any genuine way. journalists from big outlets from international media's were not allowed. if you can go there then the government follows you. so when you try to interview a person on the streets there will be the government agents trying to stop you. so it's very hard to do any kind of investigation by journalists or by scholars so there's no genuine access. >> we are

as you pointed out at the beginning of the show, saddam hussein was a massy weapons of mass destruction. and he had this tie up with al qaeda and there had to have been a state sponsor of 911. and of course it had to have been saddam and worn, and i divided up the work i started looking at the weapons of mass destruction ah question. and quickly came to doing the journalism to the understanding that it was not a clear case that he was amassing weapons of mass destruction. he had been under the most rigid, most intense un inspection program up to that date. and there were a satellites and spy planes watching iraq. and they were not uncovering anything, if in fact, what they were fighting was that a, they were either finding the remnants of these programs or they were learning that in fact he had gotten rid of these programs. and, you know, that took us into the, into this reporting project where we determined that the information and i call it information, not intelligence, that the administration was using to justify the invasion to sell to the united, to the american people. was in fac

none to please english rights before the switch suns place is currently loose from 2 percent of their massy cheer food beyond that. so in the last 5 years, what they've lost 10 percent of their entire mile isn't for the nascent. sadly, the prognosis for the next 100 years is not terribly rosy, either underneath your zak, if we don't manage to lower greenhouse gas emission. so this was if the way things are going continue as you write that the more likely see only the last remnants of ice head where we are currently stand. there will not be like no more than that. him couldn't of missed mil for more than a century, scientists have been coming to this area to assess the health of the alleged glacier. how has the snow cover changed over this period of time? with the results of these measurements, the researchers can track the changes to the glaciers mass, and determine exactly how much of its volume is lost each year. subsequent forecasts include global climate data at the university of oxford fetal eco tool works with the environmental change institute. her research focuses on extreme weather

massie, from the time. sheriff, one of the things i tried to focus on in the hearings that we've had on the border is the corridors that exist throughout the united states, because i'm always perplexed, i think, when you hear people talk about, well, it's an issue at the border, but it's not an issue in wisconsin or south dakota, north dakota. that's not the case, right? the other thing i'd say is, you know, we strip clubs, head shops, truck stops, all of these types of locations are kind of where this stuff is transported, right? we started to see that probably ten years ago, maybe even longer. how it's being distributed. so, i was running if you could comment on that because the one thing we have a fentanyl is, we still have issues, i think, related to it not being a schedule one drug. that's something that congress should do as well. i wonder if you could comment on that. >> i can and there's been a shift over the last couple of years on smuggling. -- two thoughts on this. first of all, since there is le

thomas massie responding. >> we are not here -- >> i'm talking about nonviolence.ers to carry. nine years old. >> house democrats are pushing for an assault weapons ban but republicans say the main issue isn't guns it's mental health. andrew dymburt, abc news new york. reggie: berkeley unified will hold a virtual public meeting on a proposal for paying reparations to students. they prepare for a second day of meetings in sacramento. lena howland is in the newsroom with reaction to the proposal that could cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars >> the nine-member task force has been traveling the state to learn about generational impacts around issues like housing discrimination, over policing, and discrimination. more than 2.5 times annual budget. that amount is not a pri but rather it's meant to better understand just how much these communities have lost over hundreds of years. >> it just helps people understand the magnitude of the damage that was done to these communities. and from there we can have a congress about what some of the solutions should look

he was there he knows it, thomas massie is back. >> good evening. >> what struck you about the meeting, why are democrats not concerned about what big companies and big government can do to erode our rights. >> they are not just not concerned they hate the first amendment. the funny thing about their attack on these witnesses, number one, the democrats refuse to bring their own witness. so, and the other interesting thing, we called two witnesses who are not republicans they are either democrat or independent. neither of them voted for trump, but i don't think they will be voting for democrats against the way they were treated today. matt taibbi has written 10 books, 4 made "new york times" bestseller list, and they tried to make him out to be some right wing conspiracy hack, and also you heard this. in the beginning tapes. i learned this today, there is a censorship industrial complex. there a lot of money involved. ngo's, 501c 3's who are working at at algorithm and paradigm for censoring not just misinformation but they call it malinformation, things that are true, they suggest used
