remind everyone, to remind our viewers that six of the 75 mass shootings in the united states in sandy hook elementary occurred in georgia. a reminder, the center for homeland defense and security, we have the definition of school shooting. that's a continuous episode of violence, killing or wounding victims on the school campus. it's so troubling because we are seeing an exponential rise. it's not a gradual or proportionate rise. what i mean by that is the number of victims killed or wounded in school shootings, for example just last year, it was more than twice the number of victims in any year prior to 2018. as we chatted about earlier, this is the first day of school. i was looking at family photos of my relatives in their first day of school outfits here we are already now experiencing this. it is nothing short of tragic and frightening. >> harris: it is really frightening. for those of us were of school-aged kids. doctor, you are part of this too, we think okay we don't need to start the year off with a warning on this. but we know that we kind of have to. >> kayleigh: it's tragic. ev

at sandy hook, teachers putting their bodies in front of their students and they didn't -- should not have to be in that environment to, it's not what you sign up for as a teacher. no doubt there are heroic situations, it does not it any easier this moment then to imagine these poor families and also the extent of the injuries of these other students forget should point out at the very top nicole, you were an agent at parkland, at that school shooting. in that case, the shooter also, he drove away and he was apprehended. how different is this? in the typical situation, these shooters take their own lives at the scenes of these crimes, in that case he wanted to get away and we don't know what transpired in terms of whether or not at this shooter was stranded his game, we understand it he was a school aged person, that's all we've got so far. how quickly did they investigate and started questioning this individual? what is outside of all of this look like at this moment? >> a very important element of, the suspect, they need to face justice. in the parkland incident, he did not drive aw

student in the parkland tragic incident in florida, whether it was someone from the community up in sandy hook or down in tennessee last year we saw it was a former student who had since come back many years later to commit a horrific act. there's a lot of information we don't know about but what i can't tell you is that police as well as all is our supportive law enforcement agencies are trying to scour that school and gather as much information as they can. in addition i would suggest that someone is going to a magistrate, going to a court to get a subpoena if they have identified the individual who is responsible to go to the residence to perhaps confiscate any information they may have on the computer or elsewhere to give them an idea of what was behind this incident. >> john: we need to jump out here because the attorney general has entered the room. he is sitting down here this is the doj talking about charges of russian interference in the 2024 election. let's listen in. >> to respond to a dangerous increase in violent threats against the public servants that witnessed our elections. we

i think we've begun to see, since sandy hook, all kinds of security regulations, options, pieces of equipmentse, these were lanyards right around the necks of teachers. i've seen those before. there are also buttons on walls, state laws that require push buttons on walls or panic alarms. and it brought the ssos to the direction of where they're getting the page from. that's fantastic. it's a big school, right, 2,000 kids. nearly, so you can only have so much resources there in terms of law enforcement. but it certainly appears that the fact that they were on scene is what prompted the shooter to put his gun down. and that is good news. >> yeah, you know, kathryn, how do you -- you organize a thorough program yourself. how do you protect the children, educators in that school from someone who goes to that school? there's difficult -- how do you harden it? >> it's -- you know, harden is a great word. because we think of a physical thing. but it's really both, physical and nonphysical. you harden the school, protecting the school by a layered approach. you certainly can have law enforcement ther

in light of the sandy hook shooting, that was when law was signed into bill that they can now assisthe fbi as a designated law enforcement agency with all the other federal law enforcement agencies that they can provide assistance. the attorney general can use those resources to provide assistance. i would guess the evidence responsive from the fbi is probably helping. the victim assistance programs, right now it is going to be a victim centered approach and those that are injured, that have lost their lives, the priority is on them. our thoughts and prayers go to them and understanding what exactly happened, the investigation itself in understanding who the shooter is and why he or she did this is going to take a substantial amount of time peered search warrants are being executed and those on the ground working in i guarantee you they are not going home anytime soon. if it's anything like the active shooter incidents i have worked, they will work through the night and we will get answers as soon as possible. >> john: if this was a former student who came back to the school a month

after parkland, he did what republicans in connecticut did after sandy hook. he voted for reasonable, rational gun safety legislation. he even voted to ban assault style, military style weapons. this is what he says here. he says, the most important time of my life is the 12 years i spent in the army. i was a bomb technician. lost both my legs and a finger when a bomb detonated beneath me. then he went on to say, about others on the battlefield, now as a republican congressman from florida, i don't fear becoming a political casualty. if we act by changing laws surrounding firearms and mental illness, we can save lives, too. congressman goes on to say, most nights in afghanistan, i wielded a .40 caliber pistol. barrel length was 14 inches. he goes on, i usually carry ten magazines with 20 rounds. he goes on and on. he goes, my rifle was very similar to the ar-style, semiautomatic weapon used to kill students, teachers, and coaches i knew at marjory stoneman douglas high school in parkland. he goes on and talks about how these are military-style weapons. and the

also reported yesterday that the shooter had a social media account that had made reference to the sandy hook shooter. so sadly, this is so common, of course, looking ahead, the question, well, what can parents do about it? there's this question about how much privacy should a child have, particularly in their own bedroom? so many times we see in these shootings, that agreement children have the warning signs they're only a concern parent would actually look those are really good points the parents do have some role in at least trying to see what their children are up to andrew. >> we do know that the fbi did contact his family just last year because of a tip about some of the child's writings concerning school shootings and the parents at the time they were they were told that he didn't really have access two guns, so nothing came of it. and now here we are. can we extrapolate that the reason that the father is now charged and charged with something that no other parent in the country has been charged with. and one of these mass shootings, which is second degree murder, as well as involuntar

my daughters were little girls when sandy hook happened.hey grew up in the age of being afraid to go to school. the age of drills. they would do drills, hide under their desks, learn how to confront gunman. i can't tell you how this has shaped the outlook of millions of young people, of generations now. >> yeah. >> who go to school with the concept in their mind, very realistically, that they could be blown to bits. >> willie, when, you know -- >> kamala harris says it doesn't have to be this way. it doesn't. other countries don't have this problem. it actually doesn't have to be this way. >> right. >> but you have to care about it. >> and when we -- willie, when i talk to my kids after school, i talk to my kids during the day, you know, we're not talking about astrophysics. we're talking about football. we're talking about baseball. yesterday, i got a call from two of my children, asking me what happened in georgia today, dad? >> yeah. >> there's no answer. but our kids are haunted by it like a generation ago we were haunted by the specter

have to say, one of the incidents that broke me on all of this was the massacre of the children at sandy hookt will it take? i think this is a hanging nightmare. how long are we going to put up with this? what will happen? in this particular case, giving this deeply disturbed child a ar 15 as a christmas present? i have this image in my mind of a republican congress imposing around the christmas tree with his family and they are all holding weapons of guns and semi automatic weapons, weapons of war. this sort of fetish of the guns. at some point, that has to stop. we need to have a stigma, the celebration of this. remember when the congressmen were wearing ar 15 pins on the floor of congress? what sick is that? >> coming up, former defense agency director chris crabs ways and on the doj indictment of the russian backed media network rt . .

ever since sandy hook i literally started doing lock down drills in third grade before i even started ed. i think growing up and having to do that every year was really traumatizing. this could happen to me any day so it is scary and seeing gun violence get worse as i grow up not even an adult it is terrifying. >> too many times i walked out of school and checked my phone and see a story of kids like me in a classroom like me all day being shot and killed in the classroom. it is astonish to walk of the last class of the day and check the news and see that whether it is in michigan and texas and here in california, relatively random it was that school. it very much could have been your school. that is something we can't-there is a feeling of helplessness around that too i think. >> there was the story about the kid campaigning for (inaudible) he got shot. >> 13 year old i believe. >> campaigning for warnack. i have been the kid in freshman year volunteering on a local political campaign and lots of people dont like campaigns. that is reasonable, i get it. having a gun in the situation

the things that i had worked on at the fbi, and the last five of those years occurred after the sandy hook killed and six women in a school. and the i became part of the team that worked out of the white house with other federal agencies to see why it happened and what we could do. so that's really how i got into it, and that's pretty much all i've done since then , even after i left. since then, even after i left. i continue to work on that in private practice. >> i don't know how free you feel to comment, but obviously many people have said there must have been great failings by the secret service for donald trump to be shot. let's let's remember that a bullet did actually hit him. and this came after a number of witnesses had drawn attention to the presence of a shooter on a roof within shooting distance of where he was addressing a rally . what was addressing a rally. what would you expect to happen now? and by the way, what would be the role of the federal bureau, bureau of investigation in looking into the conduct and performance of the secret service? >> well, that's a great questio

i remember in the wake of sandy hook, which was 12 years ago now.i remember there was a very big push in the u.s. senate for a background check bill after that. joe manchin and pat toomey got together. there was a lot of talk in polling on background checks, it was literally 90 to 10, that kind of thing, supporting it. filibusterer ended that effort in the senate and there was just, there was a lot of talk and a lot of effort that went into take these, filibustererred it in 2014, not a single one of them lost. not a single one lost or underperformed in a way that you could link to that issue, and it sort of created. in my mind i go back to that because i'm always willing to have my mind changed or surprised, but i haven't seen any political or electoral developments since that have changed that basic, what we saw then in terms of being the reality politically. >> the polls themselves, there was a lot of talk after 2020 or 2016 that the polls were inaccurate and didn't actually show what would happen. hillary clinton lost. the polls had showed her ah

i can remember the wake of sandy hook, just 12 years ago now, it was a very big push in the u.s.ate for a background check and that was the joe manchin democrat, west virginia. and the republican of pennsylvania got together. there was a lot of talk in the polling of background checks. it was literally 90-10 supporting it. filibuster ended that effort in the senate. there was a lot of talk and effort that went into take a bunch of these senators who filibustered it. this is a 90-10 issue. not a single one lost. not a single one lost and not a single one of them underperformed in a way that you could not link to that issue. that is creating, in my mind, i go back to that. i'm always willing to have my mind changed. i have not seen any political development that have changed that basic, what we saw then. >> the polls themselves, there was a lot of talk after 2020 or 2016 that the polls were inaccurate. they did not actually show what was going to happen. hillary clinton lost. the polls had showed her ahead for the entire race. can people trust polling right now? can they look at th

we broke ground the day after sandy hook connecticut and had a moment of silence here.really great to see the silence that we experienced then and we've experienced over the years in this playground is now filled with these voices. >> 321, okay. [ applause ] >> the park was kind of bleak. it was scary and over grown. we started to help maclaren park when we found there wasn't any money in the bond for this park maclaren. we spent time for funding. it was expensive to raise money for this and there were a lot of delays. a lot of it was just the mural, the sprinklers and we didn't have any grass. it was that bad. we worked on sprinkler heads and grass and we fixed everything. we worked hard collecting everything. we had about 400 group members. every a little bit helped and now the park is busy all week. there is people with kids using the park and using strollers and now it's safer by utilizing it. >> maclaren park being the largest second park one of the best kept secrets. what's exciting about this activation in particular is that it's the first of many. it's also repr

were somehow involved in a conspiracy or or quite famously , the sandy or or quite famously, the sandy hook crisis actors. that meant that the family members were then targeted for abuse. i think, you know, it's a sign of the kind of darkness of conspiracy theories and conspiratorial thinking, and it has to be called out. yeah, >> here's some good news, which i can hardly believe my eyes. fraser is in the telegraph, apparently petrol is going to get cheaper. >> yes , amazingly, thanks to >> yes, amazingly, thanks to saudi arabia. not a phrase i often want to say. >> oh, no. good on them. that's what i say. >> yes. so thank you to riyadh. they've decided they're going to up their oil production, even though it's going to cost them, because essentially they've realised they don't have as much power as they used to. opec, the organisation of petroleum exporting countries, they have less of a grip on the market than they once did, mostly because america is now such a big producer of fossil fuels and their attempts to essentially force the price up have have failed. they've acknowledged that. so

let's go way beyond over to whether it's the lavender with sort of mccarthy to the fallout after sandy hook. you mentioned alex jones and spreading the lies about the families there. so, you know, to be honest, after reading both of your books, there was a feeling of a little bit that i felt like what, can we do you know, this is clearly keep on so do we. let's say for the average person, how do we distinguish fakery from facts? and is fact checking enough? you know, because know, we we demand that all the time, let's say from journalists, you do your fact checking where they do their stuff. when somebody is feeding the public lies. but is that really enough? what else should what else needs to be done? fact checking is not enough, i'm afraid. but my goes out to all the fact checkers who've helped me. sure, my stuff is factual, so i'm part of the small community of fact writers. one of the things that. can we fact check the. yeah exactly. and of course, i mean, i have science fiction where i get to make stuff up, so i try to keep them segregated. so i have a kind of a balanced breakfast i r
