there is been so much talk and again i bring up newtown. is there a real chance for it to happen now? >> the anger after newtown, the nra is not the power force american politics it was. the nra is suffering an enormous self inflicted wounds. senator toomey and murphy, they thought there could be progress on background checks. it should not be a heavy lift but it is. it is going to require solutions and executive orders but we should not assumed nothing can be done because things could be done. >> i suppose whether the american people are going to push congress to do that. we need to look at what we have seen recent, a grocery store and fedex facility and a school, just to name a few of the places where there has been violence. the only thing for a while that stops the violence was the pandemic itself. as it lifts, here we are, we see it coming right back. >> yeah, i don't want to be too cynical about this. one factor that has happened in this country was despite what john is pointing out about the nra's being weaken and the culture sort of

i was a teacher when newtown happened. and surely, when a bunch of kindergartners are massacred in their classroom, you think something would happen. but a but as you stated those numbers, i don't know what it's going to take. i have called on our state legislature, as a councillor, they have taken away any ability to -- we can't protect our own people. so we need our state legislators to do something about this. we need our federal legislators. we need senator braun and senator young to back up hr 8 on the universal-background checks. we need this. our police are asking for it. until we do something. until we step up and say, enough is enough, we're not going to be able able to do anything here. >> counselor brown, i appreciate your time tonight. thank you. >>> next, more on the politics of trying to, if not end, then at least limit, gun violence. and what the president plans to do about it. >>> later, a live report from chicago where protestors have gathered in the wake of the police shooting of a 13-year-old. >>> and la

almost nine out of ten have consistently said, since newtown, we need universal background checks. we need enhanced battleground checks. you look at a poll that was just out last week, an overwhelming majority of americans supported the idea of gun checks, battleground checks at gun shows. background checks for private sales, even 60, 65% of americans supported the banning of military-style weapons. now, of course, we're not going to get there, as far as a country. i'm talking about middle ground republicans and democrats. i don't think gooelt to that middle ground, but there are some of these other common sense rules and gun safety guidelines that i've heard republicans talking about. and maybe there's a possibility for some common ground here. >> well, we have to hope. and it's -- any progress that we make on gun control, sadly, will be incremental progress, despite those numbers you've just cited. despite the fact that the public in its great majority is ready for farther-reaching and perhaps ultimately more effective measures. but our political system will not get us there exce

and newtown. every time i think about those kids it gets me mad. and then decisions like responding on this kind of shooting are happening at the very highest level and they were not responding not responding. last some of tried to exploit tragedy for political gain. we have remained respectively silent. and then and then when you are here held a news conference in which he basically said we're holding car we're not going to cave and. now we must speak. for the safety of our nation's children. politicians pass laws for gun free school zones they post signs advertising. and in doing so. they tell every insane killer in america. that schools are the safest place to inflict maximum am with minimum risk. however nation's priorities gotten so far out of order. our society is populated. by an unknown number of genuine monsters. people that are so doraine so evil so possessed by voices and driven by demons that no sane person can ever possibly comprehend. when we're not here to the press conference i thought they're going to come out and say this is a men

. >> that email, along with another in 2020in 2020in 2020in0 misperceptions at newtown says newtown managerisconception that the town was aware of many of the allegations that have been revealed in the price. that is not the case. >> today, the town of windsor admitted to going to dominic foppoli about the charges in 2017 and 2020. it says the mayor denied them. the police department had an investigation and it went to the sheriff's department and decided there wasn't enough evidence to press charges. >> did any of the emails raise any red flags? >> at that time no. >> hindsight is 2020.>>> ami up next, what could be the largest public works project ever attempted in the bay area. you will hear the reason behind it and it has to do with climate change. spencer has the weather forecast for the rest of your week. i am robert strickler. i've been involved in communications in the media for 45 years. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly.

when you were speaker, there were 20 first graders killed in newtown, connecticut. do you regret not passing laws then and do you to see republicans come to the table now at least to pass something? >> well back when newtown happened, we couldn't find common ground with the other side and i heard the earlier segment. hopefully, there is some some common ground to be found. i know that senator pat toomey has been working on this across the aisle trying to come to some agreement. hopefully, they'll find some common ground. this is -- frankly, it's heart breaking. i think it's embarrassing, our country to the rest of the world, and we've got to find a way to deal with this problem. >> so, this would be a top priority for you if you were still speaker of the house? >> well if, but i'm not. so, those in power now are going to have to figure out what can be done. it's not about what everybody wants. it's a matter of what can be accomplished in a bipartisan way. >> you really don't hold back in this book about where you see your party, the republican party today. you calle

i was a teacher when newtown happened. and now i'm a parent sending my kid into a school.s has been my whole life. and i don't want it to be an issue for my son. >> reporter: as an outraged nation is looking for answers, indianapolis is left to grieve and pick up the pieces. >> i think healing does depend on meaningful conversations between people about how we stop this cycle of violence that's driven by readily accessible guns. and i certainly intend to lead in that regard. >> hope and healing over hate. >>> coming up, the final farewell for a prince. how a divided family is standing united in grief. people everywhere living with type 2 diabetes are waking up to what's possible with rybelsus®. ♪ you are my sunshine ♪ my only sunshine... ♪ rybelsus® works differently than any other diabetes pill to lower blood sugar in all 3 of these ways... increases insulin... decreases sugar... and slows food. the majority of people taking rybelsus® lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than 7. people taking rybelsus® lost up to 8 pounds. rybelsus® isn't for people with t

does is it helps draw attention to the lack of action by congress over the years, whether it's after newtown parkland vegas, pulse nightclub, you name it. it has happened amy church in charleston. this is a kind of thing that you just everyone. i think the president biden said it best. it's a it's an international embarrassment that we can't do anything about gun violence in this country. >> every day. and we just had 2 more incidents within the last 24 hours of mass shootings. it continues 100 people a day apparently are dying from gun violence. but so he wants to take executive actions. first of all, will he just signed them and then expect push back and congress to try to overturn this or the courts to step in. what's going to happen and when would he sign this executive action. >> well, it's going to take him some time. i think they need to figure out exactly what power he has to deal with with those guns, for example, how do you deal people who are just printing essentially 80% of a gun be 80% that you would otherwise have to have to get a background check for. but but you can avoid it

a lot of activists thought if we didn't do anything after babies were slaughtered in newtown we wouldo nothing but this is a reason for hope, no, alex? >> yeah. i think it is. i'm going to say i think the biden administration is being incredibly tactical about the way in which to do this. he is tossing the ball to congress but for all intents and purposes they're focused on the infrastructure. that's the next big fight and think they can win the support of the country. i think in large part they understand everything we have been talking today and the degree to which gun violence is normalized. i'm sure in 2022 in the mid term elections you will see a grass roots push to reenergize this issue. gun safety reform is the issue in the town halls and mothers and fathers terrified of what can happen to their children. >> once you have a kid old enough to come home and tell you about active shooter training underer than 6 changes the issue for you. that's any mom or dad whose baby comes home and tells you they were told to be quiet because the bad men were in the halls. it is wrenching. on v

i'm after newtown see and we're going on the ground front of a lockdown edition of solidarity is expressed all around the world with palestinian prisoners allegedly detained by israel by the e.u. u.k. and us in violation of international law this all under the shadow of the global coronavirus pandemic in part 2 we go to northern ireland to investigate why the 23rd anniversary of the good friday agreement was accompanied by nearly 900 injured u.k. security forces before us joining me now from heifer in israel is israeli dissident a story in the north a professor. thank you so much and i'm for coming back on i mean you're known globally for your work on the middle east you know you work with know i'm from ski on gaza on palestinian prisoners day gaza's been called the largest open air prison in the world is everyone there a prisoner. what in many ways not only in the dollars you're nothing also in the west bank we're talking about to measure prisons was a different you know where gaza is almost like maximum security prison because of the siege and the naval mccrae and part of the west bank y

. >> so if not after newtown, if not after parkland, if not after 47 shootings in one month including kenosha and columbus last night what is it going to take for elected officials in america to do something and do you believe it's up to elected officials? >> i think like everybody in this past month, fredricka, i wake up in the morning and look at the news and it's just gutting. we started the show, as you started the show you said there's another one takes place in austin, texas. it has to stop. and the idea that some would say this is the price of freedom in this country, that this is what we all have to endure, in order to claim residents and citizenry here. it's just not true. and it doesn't have to be this way. and there is the vast majority of american public, 80% to 90% want this stop and support reforms to help make it stop but it's a political system that inhibits it and prevents it. and ultimately that comes down to one, the political system and the structures have to change, we have to end the filibuster, and two, folks have got to start voting and you've got to start voti

>>> nicole hochuli joins me now from newtown, connecticut.ost her son dylan in the 2012 sandy hook school shooting and she is the co-founder of the sandy hook promise group that works to end gun violence. thank you for coming on, biden has yet to send a gun control bill to congress. he signed dozens of executive orders but zero dealing with guns so far a couple months into his administration. he says his presidency is about timing. do you think the time is now for him to act on guns? >> well, i do think the time is now. as you said, so many people, more people have died last year than the previous year or the year before that, and they continue to die every day. every day in the united states we have 100 people die, and another 200 that are wounded or injured as a result of gun violence. those are astonishing numbers and, sadly, those numbers continue to grow. i understand president biden's approach to timing. the covid pandemic is, has to be the number one priority. and i understand he is putting the time into infrastructure as well. and i t

days at the rule for citizens and not citizen can breach our border test positive get a bus ride to newtowns america. joey, is john rich spot on on this point he's making a tweet? >> is quite the position i think john is very brave because musicians have not been able to make much money in the last 18 months preshow anywhere is an opportunity to pay the bills. for him to take a stance and put his money where his mouth is i commend that i grew them on this. let me to it be clear on this. if you would to fix this problem not for americans were a rich country will get through it. but for migrants who want to come here and have a shot at american life that life in the shadows of america, shut down the border. put every federal agent you can there. and every spoke single you need to so people stop flooding the border. initially while as quickly as possible and then mount the largest pr campaign ever seen to make congress change our immigration laws. make it conducive for people to come here and find prosperity as a working part of our society. had to break the news today on fox that conservative

the biggest one in recent years was the newtown shooting where the little children got shot at an elementary school. there's somebody shooting in here did you know. i had like 7 loud booms and it didn't he just told us to go in the corner. so everywhere you go on there. really jeanne children are pronounced dead at the school there were 2 they were transported to area hospitals were pronounced dead at area hospitals. and. people had no asking when there will be a debate about america's gun laws. the press was how he and how he this organization for some hope he would make a statement like call it maybe coming up right that's at the end and the organization what they'll be debate they'll be delayed the n.r.a. will say this is not the time to talk about it of the 26 murdered at the sandy hook elementary school 20 with children aged 6 and 7 the gunman used an 15 assault rifle near the chechen anybody who went on the ground mr martin is close to the door and he went to the corner 1st graders. and no time. every time i think about those kids it gets me mad. and then decisions like responding on t

that is in congress for every bill that is gone after newtown after after our client has just gone to die in that needs to change because we hear this all the time, you know, in the wake of these mass shootings. >> you've got people pushing for regulation. you have others on the other side saying now is not the time. we just heard earlier this week from senator lindsey graham saying that a ban on assault rifles is a nonstarter for him. >> but he would be willing to talk about maybe background checks. is there some room actually get legislation passed because as we know, executive orders could be overturned with the next president. >> exactly. and background checks by the way, have like in near 77 to 8.98%, approval rating. even a great majority among people who are at arraignment for us. and what we're talking about isn't is ensuring that unlicensed dealers can't make sales. they have to go through someone who's license, which means that they had a background check can be performed and would close that. what what's called the charleston loophole which allowed doing roof to get a gun e

reform, was kind of the smallest piece of the original legislation that they started out with after newtown and here we are how many years later and they can't even get that one piece done. you mentioned infrastructure i want to fill everyonein on what we heard from president joe biden yesterday, then we'll talk a little more about it president biden unveiled his much anticipated $2 trillion infrastructure plan, speaking from a carpenter's trainiing facility in pittsburgh yesterday. his plan aims to rebuild roads, expand access to clean water and broadband, invest in care for the elderly. >> i'm proposing a plan for the nation that rewards work, not just rewards wealth. it's not a plan that tinkers around the edges it's a once in a generation investment in america. unlike anything we've seen or done since we built the interstate highway system and the space race decades ago in fact, it's the largest american jobs investment since world war ii it's big, yes. it's bold, yes and we can get it done i'm convinced if we act now, in 50 years people are going to look back and say, this was the mome

impossible it was, even given gabby giffords, one of their colleagues being shot, what happened in newtown, and so on and so forth, and not much has changed even with that polling. >> even with that polling, not much has changed in this town. the question is, you're right about the trump administration days, but the nra was able to show up in the gates and get into the oval the next day. it won't happen now. we will see, as this plays out, dana bash, kaitlan collins. we'll take you back live to minneapolis, the prosecution still questioning a very important today. dr. martin tobin, let's listen in. >>> so you might recall mr. floyd's last words, you know, i can't breathe. >> right. >> are those words significant to you apulmonologist. >> very important, complaining to you of difficulty with breathing but they're also telling me that at that time, when he's saying please, i can't breathe, he's -- we know at that point he has oxygen in his brain. but -- and again, it's a perfect example of how it gives you a huge false sense of security because very shortly after that we're going to see that

you know, i started covering this during the newtown shoot go ahead when the families of those children after senator. and i know you have been in similarly heart-wrenching meetings. it's just been so disspiriting to feel that no matter how many times this happens, no matter how many tears are shed in meetings like that, nothing changes on capitol hill, which i think to the point of this organization it's going to have to come from elsewhere in the country. i just want to know, do you feel hopeful that the message is getting through, that there are people who are realizing that the ground is shifting on this issue, that people are in fact tired of seeing this again and again, more than tired, they are traumatized and feeling like we can't keep doing this? >> never more hopeful. i'm glad you brought up the state of the union because what happened there was me calling out the lie that this is a second amendment issue, it is not. this is a public health issue and americans understand that, which is why the past two elections turned on this issue of gun violence because they want to be free
