this happens. i want you to listen to senator ted cruz. this is where he said on friday at the nra convention in houston. now is the time for action, to protect our rights, to stop those with evil in their hearts, and to do everything humanly possible to protect our children and protect our families. ultimately, as we all know, what stops armed bad guys s armed good guys. and yet, we know what s happened here in uvalde, there were armed professionals who were not able to stop the shooter. that argument falls apart. i m not sure how he can continue to make it. no, no, you are right. in our community, look, ted s remarks are more analogous to somebody that has no shame,
for that report. julian castro is back with us. julian, during one of the brakes, we talked about how the day after the shooting, they had an active shooting zero at the school. i could not stop thinking about her teacher and what happened here and uvalde. you had to, with the strain, leader class bravely through the general, knowing what happened with kids much older than my youngest. this conversation that you re having a home? they pick up on it, as you know. they pick up on so much. they have a little bit of a conversation with our seven-year-old in an age appropriate way. the teacher in his first grade classroom had a conversation as well in an age appropriate way. i think for all of us, from parents to teachers, for the students themselves, this one feels different. you are married to an educator. this is a facts to multiple
that, there have been issues that seem like we never get to a place on. for example, marriage equality, ten years ago in 2012, no one would believe that would happen. then, three years later, it did. this can happen, but it starts with all of us using our voice, using our vote to make that change happen. i feel the push and pull between two things. one, the sense that change sometimes take time, effort and building. also, what you have said throughout our two hours together is that time is of the essence, and there is a fierce urgency of this moment for action. julian castro, thank you so much for spending time with us. that is all the time to i have today. i am alicia menendez, i will see you back with julian castro here in uvalde, texas tomorrow. that is 6 pm eastern. for now, i handed over to my colleague ayman mohyeldin, hi. hey, alicia, what an incredible way to close out the
friends whose kids have grown up learning about how to protect themselves if issued are committed to school. that is not right. something has to change. i am hoping that enough people will get involved, and we can vote these people out and change the laws. while we did say things went fairly as scheduled with speakers, for example, former president trump and texas senator, ted cruz, tonight, there is supposed to be a concert. that is still happening, but at least four out of the seven performers that are headlining dropped out. one saying that it would be disrespectful to the families who are mourning in uvalde. alicia? shaq brewster, as always, sandra, thank you for being with me. joining me now, trey martinez fischer, texas s representative, thank you for being here. we have heard a lot about the
people, i would make the same point about how long this line goes, four blocks. people who just want to come and pay their respects. it is 97 degrees, people are standing in the heat pay respects for their loved ones. it is not just here. everywhere you drive around uvalde, we will see 21 crosses on parks and street walks. you will get a sense and understanding of how deeply impacted people are. the original question, what is the one issue that people cannot wrap their heads around right now? is the series of 9-1-1 calls. we are not talking about 2 to 3 minutes, it is an extended period that started at 12:03, when the first call came in saying, we are in room 1:12. at the same time, there are 19 law enforcement officials inside the hallway, not moving. there was another call that said there are multiple people dead. following that, there are still 8 to 9 people alive in the class, where are you? 12:43, 12:47, please, please come in and help us. eventually at 12:51, federal
