Interesting as it lays out what was going on in the white house in those days. >> senator, i would like to focus your attention on the border, far away from minnesota, but relevant and i think directly impacting all of us. there is a humanitarian crisis at the border, and yet, there has been no move on any kind of immigration reform in the senate or in the house that has been effective. is there any possibility, senator, that you could take this issue up in a possibly bipartisan form to get anyt...

Incredible, amazing, something that nobody can ever take away from me at this point. but, you know, i got bigger things on my mind. a lot of golf left. ive been around the block a few times. and, you know, ive missed cuts from this position before. so that is why i say like i said, ive done a really good job of just one shot at a time. ive been playing some really good golf and i just need to match those two and see what happens. >> hadwin is looking at a logjam behind him, tour four time major ...

Is very, very sad, but it is probably not isolated. we have had warnings today from the health care watchdog that patients are being put at risk by these delays. ambulances are held up at hospitals because they cannot hand over patients because he and thes are crowded, they cannot get patients into the hospital because there are not enough beds, and one reason is beds are being so full, words being so full is that social care is not any good position in some areas to take patients from hospital....

If it becomes law it would be the first major piece of federal legislation addressing gun violence since the year 1994. however, it does not do anything to address ar-15 style assault rifles like the ones used to kill 19 schoolchildren and two teachers in uvalde nearly one month ago now. joining me is shannon watts, founder of moms demand action for gun sense in america, and charlie sykes and msnbc contributor. what do you think of the legislation? >> the it is an important step and the fact tha...

Together and finally break the logjam around gun safety legislation, it shows that this is not just good policy. its also good politics. im very hopeful that once they start with the language we will get to a place where this is historic. it will be life-saving. you are talking at -- you left out a really important part, also around domestic gun violence where this would address what we call the dating partner loophole and right now, 70 women are shot and killed every single month this in this c...

You. how are democrats reacting to this news. are they feeling disappointed or feeling like this is a good first step. what is the reaction been so far? >> theyre definitely applauding this as a good first step. you just mentioned the president saying this does not go as far as i wish it would, but this breaks a logjam that weve seen for the last 30 years, that congress has not really been able to address full-scale reform. that in and of itself is a big deal. you also heard that from senator ch...

To the editor: U.S. Senate candidate Becky Edwards has made me a Republican!

Faith. the quaint notions of meeting in the capital cafeteria to hash out legislation, or to hash out progress. it is over. the republicans are a wrecking ball. they are just trying to destroy our fundamental, rights our democracy. and so the democrats absolutely need to get tougher. i laugh at that quote saying that the trump administration suffered the most intensive congressional oversight. >> i wonder why. >> i was there. they floated subpoena after subpoena after supreme in a way that had n...

Hes had a long history on this issue. hes been consistent on this issue for 30 years of his career. there actually was an assault weapons ban and he was super strong on it. but i can believe in this moment that the president gave a great speech, a really good speech, and still think that what is going to happen will not be determined by this speech, what will happen up on the hill. if theres a break in that logjam, and some are a little more hopeful than they have been in a while, that his perfo...

End could have a significant downward pressure on gun violence in this country and break the logjam. maybe that is the most important thing we can do, is to show that progress is possible and if the sky doesnt fall for republicans, if they support some of these common sense measures. >> joining us now is congressman allred of texas, a former voting rights and civil rights attorney. thank you very much for joining us tonight. and i want you to take on what joe biden heard in uvalde, when people w...
