to john cornyn it's funny. does anyone who voted for john cornyn in texas think it's funny or believe it was a joke? how about the voters of south carolina, lindsey graham's voters? after meeting in his office with a movie star to discuss the issue, they're pretty informed, lindsey graham also voted for gun confiscation last night. not in ukraine, guns in ukraine but are you a ukrainian? no? no guns for you. at the same time, as we said, lindsey graham is telling you you moral duty is to support a country you can't locate on a map, but your bill of rights, your constitutional protections, are no longer valid. and there is nothing we shouldn't do for kyiv. not for texas, for kyiv. here's lindsey graham. >> the question is, can we do more, and should we do more? the answer is yes to both. and to my friends in the pentagon, you told all of us that this war would last three or four days. that kyiv would fall. that, you know, the country would be overwhelmed by the russian military. they're wrong. so, quite frankly,

that's not the point, john cornyn. the point is to allow the democratic party to become more powerful. it feels like it to send its armed agents to raid the homes of ben shapiro, another disobedient people of the democratic party doesn't like. red flag laws aren't what they seem. eric schmidt is one of them, the paternal general of the state of missouri. thank you for coming on. i think you can see. you're steeped in this for people that aren't, the idea you stop a mass shooting before it starts is that it seems appealing and rational. tell us why red flag laws are problematic. speak of the first thing is the republicans need to back away from the dangerous dance with gun grabbing democrats. it's a dangerous road to go down and you'd be eviscerating two fundamental rights. but the red flag laws are nothing more than a green light for gun confiscation and why in the world would we give more power to the same people who are willing to arrest folks in the name of safety and an emergency for taking their kids to a playgrou

john cornyn. c will your legislation doti anything about that ? because anybody who's okay with that or what's happening in downtownpe chicago or downton baltimore, gary, indiana or the you pick a city a every day of the week, fix those things, get back to me what the are in my closet in new orleans. the suspect d.a.by there, jason williams isn't worried about what you just saw wor lase year. his office dismissed more than 60% of violent felony cases60 that came to his office, most of them involving firearms. they just dismissed them. these people worry about gun crime for perspective. the previous administration dismissed only 16 percent of those cases. another source backed d.a. in philadelphia has a similar record in the first half of last year larry. crassest office withdrew orss dismissed. 65% ofed% all gun charges. does that seem high? well, it is because in 20 tuffin that figure was just 17% new ideology, new outcome and of course the outcome is more dead people. but this law does nothing a

to john cornyn, it's all pretty funny. does anyone who voted for john cornyn in the state of texas, the republicans in texas agree that it's funny or even believe that it was a joke? how about the voters of south carolina, lindsey graham's voters after meeting in his office with a movie star to discuss the issue and they're pretty informed. lindsey graham also voted for gun confiscation last night, not in ukraine. he have said more guns to ukraine, but you can't have guns here . ukrainian no no guns for you and the same time, as we said, lindsey graham is telling you your moral duty is to support a country you can't locate on a map. but your bill of rights, your constitutional protections are no longer valid and there is nothing we shouldn't do for keith, not for texas, for keith lindsey graham. the question is can we do more and should we do more ? the answer is yes. to vote . as to my friends in the pentagon who told all of us that this war would last three or four days, that kyiv would fall, that you know, the country w

cornyn of texas and the amazing thing about john cornyn is he admits he doesn't care about gun crimes committed by actual criminals. we know this from a pistol and axios and we're quoting senator john kennedy asked cornyn during one lunch, quote,i are wee focused on gang violence and inner city murders and saysh no, we're notat focusing on thaf we'reoc focusing on that. ar whye are you doing this exactly ? we don't need to guess about where gun crime comes from. here's a montage of some of the crimes that john cornyn can't be bothered t. uringg camera in the neighborhood captures the back and forth of gunfire as panicked teenagers ran through a street. it's happened twenty six times in just one week, a string of robberies that all begin videod the same way nyp showing one of them where a team of armed suspects riding in a dark colored mercedes benz or volkswagen passat suddenly stopped their car jump out, flashed their guns, robbed their innocent victims, get back in the car and drive off. >> washingtonce state alone has seen a record 85 armed robberies at cannabis stores soi far this

. >> texas republican senator john cornyn gave an update on efforts of gun safety legislation by next week. he said there are specific to the bipartisan framework that's only to be worked out. >> mr. president, on sunday bipartisan group of senators announced principles for addressing concerns over shootings that occurred in uvalde, texas and other places as well. i would say we have been making good progress but we've run into a couple of bumps in the road that have slowed things down a little bit. once the request was intervention programs. i believe we ought to put every state seeking intervention programs that they have in place already. even if they don't have a red flag law. read it flag is been what has been discussed many times. nineteen stakes have red flag walls. that means 31 states have other crisis intervention initiatives that are designed to address the same problems. people who are a danger to themselves and to others. because of their mental health. it includes things like assisted outpatient treatment programs. mental health courts and veterans courts. the other issu

john cornyn, one of the ten republican's who joined together with ten democrats to come up with this proposal, the other nine republican senators in missouri, richard burr of north carolina, bob portman of ohio, patrick toomey of pennsylvania, thom tillis north carolina, bill cassidy louisiana, susan collins of maine, lindsey graham of south carolina, mitt romney utah. new york times noted of the tent report and senators supporting the deal on gun safety for leaving congress at the end of the year and five are not up for reelection for another four years, only mitt romney is going to face voters in 2024, he is up for reelection this year. getting your reaction to the bipartisan gun proposal announced yesterday, this is james out of las vegas, independent, good morning. >> good morning, thanks c-span. i don't know exactly what is in the proposal but i've been listening to the discussions and regardingga of course mental illness but what seems to be ambiguous and missing from the discussion is the two most dangerous mental illness, antisocial personality disorder and psychopathyrs and

john cornyn. tom tillis. roy blunt. richard burr. susan collins. lindsey graham, mitt romney, and pat toomey. their backing makes this agreement really significant. after years of inaction by the senate and, of course, most recently, since the two tragedies in buffalo and uvalde. now, the news on this compromise in the senate comes as the house of representatives focuses on the january 6th committee hearings, which more than 20 million americans watched in primetime on thursday night. the hearings continue tomorrow morning and will focus on former president trump's election lies. here with me exclusively is the january 6th committee member, democratic congressman jamie ra raskin. based on what you just heard, is that a compromise you would vote on? >> well, we would certainly vote on it and work on it. you know, america is suffering a massacre pretty much every day now. there's been more massacres than days in 2022. so the house has been pushing for far more sweeping action for universal violent criminal backgrounds. >> this is a baby step you woul

that is what we are all about. >> texas republican john cornyn, who helped negotiate this bipartisan bill that is headed towards final passage either later today or tomorrow. eli oakley reports this morning that he may have been booed by the republicans in texas at their latest convention. but, according to this poll to his involvement in bipartisan gun talks has not hurt his popularity level among texas voters. including republicans. this morning we want to hear from you, the constituents of these senators. do you want them to support, oppose it, not sure? gun owners as well, calling in. earlier this week on tuesday, one senator cornyn was talking on the floor and went forward with debate by getting 64 senators. 14 of them republicans, to approve moving to this legislation. they have been debating it, that will continue today. they will have a procedural vote to and debate today. we understand around 11 am eastern time. after that if they clear that hurdle you will see what the vote is. if you tune into c-span two. then it will depend on whether or not they can get agreement to expe

cornyn, who reject the so-called bipartisan agreement, and we rebuke senators john cornyn, and the other eight republican senators who joined them. of course, senator cornyn was only willing to participate in even the most minimal form of bipartisan agreement on gun legislation because of the mass murders at robb elementary school. but his republican party in texas refuses to acknowledge now that that mass murder even happened. leading off our discussion tonight is j david goodman, houston bureau of chief for the new york times investigative reporter for the austin american-statesman. and david, let me begin with you on this issue of, were the doors locked. what is the information that we have, as of now, about where the classroom doors locked with unlocked, the law cannot work. how did the gunman get in the classroom? if the classroom doors were locked. >> i think it is pretty clear that the gunman, when i encounter the door was either not completely closed or was not locked. he managed to get his way inside. i think what investigators know to be true and what has been shown in the docu

john cornyn and dan crenshaw are the elected officials, and they got there by getting elected. nobody in that convention did. in terms of -- the republican national leadership knows that it would be bad for republicans to have grietens as the nominee, and mitch mcconnell's superpac, and other national groups are backing other candidates in hopes that grietens does get defeated n but the larger point is that donald trump's rhetoric has caused an up tick in violence, and as andy said, is 100% right. really disturbing. donald trump had his day in court. he lost all but one of the 64 cases he brought. he had his day in court. >> election fraud claims. >> yes, with the election fraud claims, and to continue with the rhetoric when we couldn't produce evidence and couldn't win in court, puts the country in a really bad place. >> ben ginsburg and andrew mccabe, i appreciate your thoughts and discussion today. thank you. >>> a potential game-changer this week for families with little kids. parents finally have the green light to get them vaccinated. we report on this turningpoint, and t

but i guess those are outsiders in the world of john cornyn. the defense contractors are they outsiders too? >> it's interesting i know in texas we had both parties represented in the senate. but that we had republicans there. it's interesting you mention uvalde, we see now what happened there. the time that it took to actually get the situation under control. we need to harden our schools and secure schools. this bill doesn't exactly do that. this isn't where we need to start, start with infringing on the rights of american citizens and taking away their rights to defend themselves. >> laura: after what happened with covid and what they did with covid, how can we trust them on any of this? >> we can't and that's exactly it. we can trust the federal government and they've shown time and time again that they will overreach. the heavy hand of government will overreach and crush the american citizens. this will be used as a weapon. >> laura: thank you so much, great to see you. if you can't watch us live, recorded on your dvr and you don't want to

they're uneasy about the way john cornyn has been handling the talks. they feel like they have been left out of this and they're concerned they're going to be forced to vote on a massive and controversial package without having a lot of time to look over the bill text itself. and so there is a lot of controversial sticking points here that they need to hammer out. particularly over this weekend, if they want to see a bill on the floor by the end of next week. >> how willing are the democrats, chris murphy in particular, willing to give on some of these points that john cornyn seems to be hung up on? >> well, they're very willing. and i think this is something that democrats and republicans have kind of praised chris murphy about from the beginning, he's been very realistic about what boundaries of the package are, and the limitations to what he has to work with. he recognizes that any deal that comes together, any bill that is going to get at least 60 -- at least 60 votes in the senate, at least ten republican votes in the senate, will be not a package

senators chris murphy of connecticut, john cornyn of texas, kirmz of kyrsten sinema and tom till is, how to close the so-called boyfriend loophole of domestic abusers and democrat senator murphy says it is still ongoing and released a statement that the quote finalized a majority of the provisions but republicans seem less positive. cornyn left the meeting early and told reporters we was frustrated, they know where i stand and so far no agreement. the group would have to finish the bill today in order for the senate to have enough time to vote on it next week. and as we go to break, an update on the war in ukraine. a front page headline in "the new york times" reads, europe extends keys to invitation, with few arms. the leaders of france, germany, italy and romania, met with president delz in ukraine yesterday. supporting his push for a step towards membership in the european union. they stopped short of promising additional heavy weapons, which ukraine has been calling for to repel russia's invasion which is now concentrated in the eastern donbas region. negotiations that are believ

but apparently john cornyn isn't just stopping with guns. he has his sights now on immigration. cornyn was just seen smiling while speaking to democratic senator alex padilla saying quote, first guns, now it's immigration. has there evermi been a greatera more brazen sell out of any group of voters thanto what republican senators mitch mcconnell, john cornyn and the rest are doing right now? s talkub about a subversion of democracy. if they keepco this up,re the system will collapse. you have tose represent the interests of your voters. that's why you're there. the cdc is worried aboutpr the spread of monkeypox. so naturally as a priority for the cdc to release a very weirdn guidance on how to have safe . if you've got monkeypox safe t in the age ofhe monkeypox because the administration is hitting the topics that matter and we have this right now a some growing bird in the rear view mirror above the drinking pulls it down to the station. i don't care if we ever come, but that was the hello, i'm mike lindell and as you know, my passion is to help each and every one of you get th

but john cornyn did express optimism yesterday afternoon he said they're still on a path to try to come up with something by next week. senator chris murphy, the other key negotiator in the talks, the democrat, is also optimistic. so we expect the talks to continue over the weekend and, of course, in person when they come back next week. >> we know you'll be tracking the story for us and keeping us updated. thank you so much. >>> the lead republican negotiator on the bipartisan gun safety package was booed at a texas convention yesterday. watch this. >> sometimes, sometimes my job is pretty simple. sometimes my job is as simple as saying no. >> texas senator john corny told a cold he kept the gun grabbing wish list off the table. he insisted there were lines he would not cross in the bipartisan talks such as an assault weapons ban and new restrictions for law abiding gun owners. >>> u.s. citizens who disappeared in vein, the kremlin said it has not idea what happened to them, despite the video you see e here and pictur. that's next. teeth h plays a significant roe in our overall heaealt

the fact that john cornyn is on point is good. i mean he is a -- he's an unquestionable leader in the republican party, strong credentials, from texas. so, you know, how much impact it will have, i don't know. but i'll take any forward progress we can get because i think it sends a message that something has to be done. the thing that's discouraging, don, is when you see polling like we saw today where 44% of the republican party doesn't think that -- thinks this is just an accepted -- mass shootings are just something we have to accept as a price for our freedoms. so we have almost half of the republican party saying, well, that's the way it goes. we're just going to have mass shootings. get used to it. as we also saw, we saw republican incumbent congressmen who leaned in to support some reforms and seven days later announced his resignation because the heat was so bad. so it's still very tough out there, but i'm encouraged there's at least some progress and some movement with cornyn on point. >> let's talk about that because you

ted cruz. >> john cornyn was booed. dan crenshaw was heckled as he came in. they called him -- i don't want to give credence to when they called him. they called him names as he walked in. that's the answer to your question. >> they need to stand up against it. we understand that they don't like him, but where is the leadership, the calmer, saner voices that can cool the passions of the masses? that's what the founders needed. leardship. that's what the texas gop needs in its leadership and it's nowhere. >> this is a good time for conservatives to remember they allegedly standing up to a mob because that's what's happening. the inmates are running the asylum. when i u.s. war veteran is called a traitor by members of his own political party, when senators are booed and cat called for trying to find modest compromises on issues that have super majority american support. you see a real fundamental problem. this is what you reap, you sow when you have hyperpolarization. when have just nut burger outlier aspects that don't r

and i sincerely thank senator chris murphy for his passion, senator john cornyn for his leadership, and senator thom tillis for his pragmatism. each of my friends and colleagues brought a unique perspective and expertise that allowed us together to craft the most holistic approach to community violence in nearly 30 years. i also want to thank all of our staffs, especially my legislative director, michael brownley, and my counsel chris voisten, for their tireless hours, including working straight through father's day, to get this bill right. you know, their efforts will save lives, help families across our country feel more secure, and make our schools safer. i promised arizonans that i would be an independent leader for our state and that i would ignore the chaos of washington and instead just focus on getting things done. it won't surprise anyone who might be listening today when i tell you that washington hasn't always liked my approach. but our bipartisan bill demonstrates the difference that elected leaders can make in the lives of our constituents when we choose to heal our divisio

and john cornyn just said the quiet part out loud. he is saying what is said often at voter summits, and in the halls of the family research council. and in the heritage foundation. when the cameras are turned off. >> panel stick around, we will see later in the hour. still ahead, how the supreme court's decision on bro will affect maternal health. for incarcerated women. but first, richard louis is here with the headlines. hey richard -- >> i'm michael, very good evening to you. -- for the upcoming g7 summit. that summit will focus on russia's war in ukraine and economic shockwaves with this cost. leaders are also expected to discuss rising inflation, climate change, and food security. russian forces gaining full control of the key city in eastern ukraine saturday. ukrainian officials said they ordered the withdrawal of all forces to prevent further casualties there. this marks moscow's biggest victory since capturing mariupol just last month. and thousands gathered on the national law at washington d.c. saturday for the first ever u

there is a rebellion inside the senate gop among the conservatives against john cornyn for cooperating with democrats and negotiating over guns. there have been pretty heated meetings behind the scenes that mitch mcconnell presided over and cornyn has at the lunches. you have members like ted cruz, tom cotton, mike crapo, john kennedy, there's a whole bunch of them who are really agitating against what cornyn is doing. so it's not just a problem he has in the texas gop. it is a problem he has inside his own conference in washington, in the senate. you can see he's starting to get nervous about it. there was a story that he, you know, said, i'm done talking. we went home. this actually may affect what ends up happening in terms of his ability, his negotiating space, his ability to cut a deal with the democrats. >> you know, we always hear, jonathan, that mitch mcconnell, whatever he does, when people criticize him, you'll hear someone say, well, he is only following where his conference is. mitch has been supportive of the talks and seems to be supportive of the outlines of this. does t

who booed him but a big moment for john cornyn. the next majority leader after mitch mcconnell retires and the message to him is suck it up and you have to do hard things and this is the point of view like a ted cruz, play to the base or get things done. >> if you want a be a congressional leader, i have to choose, i don't want to be popular anymore. as we go, we want to note tomorrow is the second year we as a country formally recognize juneteenth as a federal holiday, marking the emancipation of african-americans from slavery. if you're not familiar with the celebration, take your time to educate yourself on this important part of our history. thank you for watching. happy father's day to all the dads out there. we'll be back next sunday, because if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." out there. we'll be back next sunday, because if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." >>> two more hearings into the january 6th attack on the capitol are scheduled for this week. the next one is set for tomorrow. we'll tell you what to expect. >>> m

and senator chris murphy advocate for those in connecticut reached out to john cornyn of texas, offering his condolences and assistance. senator cornyn was in uvalde comforting families who were experiencing the unthinkable and senator murphy had sadly been in a similar place 10 years before at sandy hook. that same day, i reached out to senator cornyn and senator thom tillis. two friends i've worked with to craft lasting bipartisan solutions, managing the crisis at our border, and helping veterans access the benefits they've learned. we all plan to get quickly together to identify realistic solutions. within one day senators murphy, cornyn, tillis and myself all representing diverse states from across the country, sat down and started working together. that same day we met with a larger group of 12 bipartisan senators. all of whom were eager to sit down, work together and find a path forward. those meetings started at four weeks process considering and working towards a host of solutions that would save lives, make communities safer and protect american's constitutional rights. as we wr

john cornyn, one of the 10 republicans who join together with democrat to come up with this proposal. the other nine, roy blunt, richard burr, rob portman, patrick toomey, thom tillis, and bill cassidy, lindsey graham, and the times noted yesterday that of the 10 senators supporting the deal on gun safety, four are leaving congress at the end of the year and five are not up for reelection for another four years. only mitt romney is going to face utah voters in 2024, he is up for reelection this year. getting your reaction to the bipartisan gun proposal announced yesterday, this is jane out of las vegas, good morning. caller: good morning, thank you for c-span. i don't know exactly what's in the proposal, but i've been listening to the discussions and regarding of course background, mental illness. but what seems ambiguous amid the discussion is the two most dangerous mental illnesses. specifically antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy, which is not in a lot of attention to screening for. those are probably, i mean i'm not going to diagnose the shooters but obviously we had t

but apparently john cornyn has his eye on immigration. he was seen smiling with senator alex pa diaz saying quote, first guns now immigration. has there ever been a greater more brazen sellout of any group of voters than republican senators mitch mcconnell, john cornyn and the rest are doing right now? talk about a sub version of democracy. if they keep this up the system will collapse. you have to represent the interest of your voters. that's why you're there. >> well, the cdc is worried about the spread of monkeypox so naturally it's a priority of the cdc to release a very new weird guidance on how to have safe sex if you've got monkeypox. safe sex in the age of monkeypox because the administration is hitting the topics that matter and we have their guidance next. ♪♪ >> tucker: monkeypox is apparently spreading across the country, new cases in missouri new jersey and washington. you would think the cdc centers for sdrees control might want to stop the spread of monkeypox but no the real problem with monkeypox is people are embarrass

>> boos for john cornyn in his own state because of his work on the bipartisan gun safety package. how the senator is responding. you love rich, delicious ice cream. but your stomach doesn't. that disagreement ends right now. lactaid ice cream is the creamy, real ice cream you love that will never mess with your stomach. lactaid ice cream. we hit the bike trails every weekend shingedoesn't care. i grow all my own vegetaes shines doesn't care. we've still got the best moves you've ever seen good for you, but shingles doesn't care. because 1 in 3 people will get shingles, you need protection. but, no matter how healthy you feel, your immune system declines as you age increasing your risk for getting shingles. so, what can protect you? shingrix protects. you can protect yourself from shingles with a vaccine proven to be over 90% effective. shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. an increased risk of guillain-barré syndro

but i'm glad that john cornyn stepped up. he's a serious conservative thoughtful and pragmatic member. and he's just trying to do his job, by denouncing him this way. understand why so many members don't want to engage in compromise. they'll be punished for it. he's being booed for just doing his job. and there are a lot of members of congress sadly who are very good at telling you all the things they can never do. that's why we're in a perpetual state of stalemate. >> and if i can, victor, quickly, texas of all places, who just survived -- went through the horrific shooting in uvalde, texas, you would think they would understand the need for some type of common sense regulations that would prevent gun violence. and cornyn is making a good faith honest bipartisan effort to reduce this gun violence and he's not just talking and looking at gun legislation, he's looking at the bigger picture, school access to schools, red flag laws, mental health, the big picture that can get done on -- in a bipartisan way. the fact they are boo

it is not just john cornyn who is leading the republican effort and a close ally of mitch mcconnell, but he's answering to more and more republicans in his caucus who are frustrated. the gop they want to get this done and they don't want to ask any of the senators to be the 60th and deciding vote, to break the filibuster. they want to clear in a thar by 62, 63, 64 to give cover to members and mcconnell said he would participate and they want to do this and do is soon but new republican resistance is growing at some of the measures. so they feel the longer this stretches, the more chances they might lose a few republicans, getting dangerously closer to 60 and the whole thing could fall apart. so next week loom as crunch time to get this done. >> they 12 or 14 republicans on board to clear the 60 vote threshold and the longer it goes, they worry they may lose some. let's turn to the war in ukraine. european extends kyiv an invitation but few arms. leaders of france, germany and italy and romania met with president zelenskyy in ukraine supporting his push toward a step toward membership

. >>> senator john cornyn, who's leading republican efforts on that bipartisan senate push for gun safety reform, told cnn the text of a bill could be ready by the end of the week. it comes just a day after a group of democrats, republicans, and one independent announced the framework for a bill with enough votes to pass the senate even if opponents attempt to filibuster. the agreement includes money for red flag laws to keep weapons out of the hands of those who pose a threat to themselves or others. it also aims to increase access to mental health and suicide prevention programs. senators also say the legislation will address what's called the boyfriend loophole. right now unmarried partners found guilty of violence against someone they're dating can still keep their guns. the agreement would also create a more thorough review process for people between the ages of 18 and 21 who try to buy weapons like an ar-15. it also clarifies when a person must register as a federally licensed firearm dealer and thus always conduct a federal background check. and lastly, there will be more money for

so what john cornyn did was went to bat with senator murphy, and senator murphy almost got nothing what joe biden asked for. he wanted the end of assault weapons. that didn't happen. what i think we all can say is something they did do that directly affects buffalo and uvalde. they can look back at an 18-year-old's record to see if he's a whack job, has a history of violence and being unstable, and both those guys would have been stopped from buying a gun. and if you buy a gun for somebody, the straw buyer, they'll be punished too. so if i'm a republican, i'm pretty happy with it. howard: i don't think whack job's in the legislative text, but i'll check on that. laura, donald trump slammed the new law, matt gaetz, the congressman, called dissenting senators of his own party traitors, but aren't media liberals kind of lukewarm because they wanted much more sweeping action? >> well, that's absolutely true, ask is welcome to washington. i think you never would have seen this legislation without a democratic majority. it was democrats that were compromising on what they wanted, democrats wh

john cornyn is part of this group. which is greg abbott going to do? clearly, that answer remains to be solved. we've got a long way to go here. and we also need to look at the real crux of this problem. raising the age limit to 21 is about money to the nra and gun companies. greg abbott is squarely in the pocket of these companies. i just don't see a whole lot of change coming from them anytime soon. >> i want to talk to you about the state house investigation and the police response to the shooting in uvalde. we're a republican lawmaker is leading the probe alongside a conservative former judge and also a former prosecutor who is a democrat. what's your thoughts on the three-person committee so far? where there are the people you hope to see included? you are not included. the person who represents el paso in the state senate and santa fe in the state senate were not included. what are your thoughts on that? >> i think it was a slap in the face to the people of el paso, of southern springs. actually, they've got a representative in the people of sant

and john cornyn, the asesenate appointment has taken a tremendous amount of political flak inside his own party and may very much have tested his future quest for leadership for having held the line on this issue. >> michael, this is a big win for the president for one thing. i want to -- one of the things that margaret said is very notable that this is a win for now. >> right. >> specially. we see this before. past legislation, it will get backed up again. how lasting do you believe this could be? >> i think any movement on gun safety is a good movement. and i think that it's a step and we may be getting to the end of the race in small steps as opposed to big strides here. i also think politically it was a smart move for them to take it off the table. and i think that's really what you're seeing. that may be sort of this little moment of bipartisanship at a time when really you can't vote that the sun comes up in the east anymore. so, i hope it will be lasting. i worry about how the states are going to enforce it. when you're having states all over the country now say people can carr

. >> senators john cornyn, >> blumenthal, and the cassidy spoke about the big aimed at reducing gun violence they supported the legislation and repeated the bill does not take guns away from law-abiding gun owners. president biden signed the legislation into law today. -- mr. cornyn: mr. president, tomorrow will mark one month since the tragic shooting in uvalde, texas, a high school dropout with a history of violence and mental health struggles, purchased two ar-15's within days turning 18, and he passed a background check. he then shot his own grandmother because she wanted him to go back into the classroom rather than drop out of school and then went to the robb elementary school through an unlocked door. he then opened fire on two fourth grade classrooms, killing 19 students and two teachers. the american people were shocked, outraged, and devastated by this attack and collectively asked, how can we prevent this from happening again? while the discussions surrounding this topic causes emotions to run high, and i understand why, for too long some politicians have tried to pit the right to

john cornyn who led negotiations on the republican side. ask madam president, tomorrow will mark three weeks since the devastating school shooting in uvalde, texas. over those last three weeks senators murphy from connecticut, et cetera sinema from arizona, hundred tillis of north carolina, and others have been working to identify steps congress should take to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future. this is not an easy debate. it is emotional. it can be divisive. but it is also very important that we act. most often hear people say do something. will they don't give you a lot of guidance what that something looks like. he begin to dig down into the details you find out there's not a lot of consensus about what that something should look like. the good news is, as a result of the work we have been doing these last three weeks working with our colleagues, i believe we are makingd good progress. over the weekend there was an agreement reached between 20 senators, ten republicans and ten democrats on a framework of principles fo

texas senator john cornyn is the lead republican for negotiations with democrats over potential gun legislation. he spoke from the senate floor about the status of the talks and how best to reach a solution that both sides can agree on. >> madam president, like so many people in texas and across the country, i can't stop thinking about the 19 children and the two teachers who lost their lives in uvalde, texas. over the last several days, 21 families have started burying their loved ones. this tight knit community is 15,000 people 60 miles from the u.s.-mexico border is grieving the loss of classmates, playmates, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and fellow church members. as grief turns to anger, and anger turns to action, everyone is asking the question, the logical question, how do we stop these sort of things from happening again? well, i think that's the right question. that's the question that he is been on my mind and dominating conversations with my colleagues the last couple of weeks. now, this is a big diverse country. there are a lot of differences, regionally, culturally and the like a

he was followed later by texas senator john cornyn the lead republican in the gun bill negotiations with democrats. >> madam president, 23 years ago after the massacre at columbine high school left 12l students ad a teacher dead, the gun lobby and its allies insisted that quote now is not the time to talk about gun laws. in shooting after shooting sense america has been stunned and grieving and burying its children the gun lobby has demanded we not politicize the they say we should wait until passions have cooled before taking any action to reduce gun violence in america. well, madam president the current reality is this. it is no longer possible to wait months or weeks or even days after a mass shooting for passions to cool. the shootings just keep happening. so far this year we have seen 246 mass shootings and a 157 days. more than one mass shooting every day. just this past weekend a string of 11 mass shootings left at least 15 people dead and more than 60 others wounded. an tense tennessee, pennsylvania, south carolina, arizona, texas, georgia, new york, and michigan. madam president

john cornyn has decided to take guns from lawful gun owners. if there is one reason you vote republican it is to prevent tha spirit it's not surprising he's very unpopular, watch his reception at the texas republican convention. listen to the booze. >> thank you, god bless you in may god continue to bless our great state of texas fair. >> he is from utah and watch this whole thing. constitutional scholar among other things. i wonder why if you're worried about crimes committed with. that you wouldn't do something about them. and instead focus as they are now on taking from law-abiding people that have not been convicted. >> many laws have been violated. as you pointed out correctly, i many cases, you have a failure of enforcement at the state and local level. sometimes we need to figure out why those failures are happening . what is concerning is when you have a gang of 20 that comes together, however well-intentioned they may be at the outset, they come together and they claim to have formulated a deal, a deal they then present to the public b

i want to thank senators chris murphy of connecticut, john cornyn of texas and the others, democrats and republican, who are trying to find a way to reduce gun violence. but it takes 60 senators to make that happen. i hope in good faith we can at least take a step forward from this awful situation. the house of representatives already acted last year to close gaps in the gun background check system. this week the house will vote on bills to support extreme risk protection orders or red flag laws, and other important measures. tomorrow the senate judiciary committee, which i chair you will hold a hearing on mass shooting that took place in buffalo on may 14, just a few weeks ago. and the domestic terrorism threat it exposes. one of our witnesses is garnell whitfield, jr., his mother, ruths was murdered at the grocery store in buffalo. gun violence is now a leading cause of death among america's children and teenagers. it replaced automobile accidents. next week the senate judiciary committee will hold a hearing from experts about the lasting trauma that gun violence leaves on children

fourteen republicans all led by john cornyn of texas. they're giving biden a victory and infringing on the rights of law abiding americans. the legislation is 80 pages long and last night a vote was called just hours after the text was even released. it's a complete travesty. it's one more step on the road to a gun. more on this later. and finally, americans need to cut their losses with the party in power. democrats are in charge and may not vladimir putin are destroying almost everything we love today. americans are getting poorer by the day that the cost of everything is going up. oh , except for one thing, the dnc has slashed the price of a commentariat photo op from fifteen thousand to five thousand. what a bargain. but when america is hurting, when our people are hurting, when policies and plans aren't panning out, it's time to switch gears. the swamp here in dc, it's home to many varieties of swamp monsters sleazy lobbyists, feckless politicians and fat cat consultants. it's time to cut our losses and cut them all loose and that's

and mitch mcconnell be like this is john cornyn is a genius? we need more mental health care and public schools? we need all of these red flag laws bolstered in all 50 states and i'm glad everyone can go out and conceal carry. can the same person be excited about both things? >> i don't think. kennedy: that was for sean. >> okay. >> don't worry about it, they are pitching this as a bipartisan bill in d.c. and when they say bipartisan, it usually means greater than normal deception is about to be carried out so this bill will be nothing protective second amendment despite what john cornyn goes around trying to deceive us with. red flag laws are great cause for concern. when you've got funding for a law that can be used and abused to weaponize police to kick down your door and take your guns in some cases even kill nonviolent gun owners like duncan, how does that protect the second amendment at all? my dm is open if you want to tell me but i don't think it does. kennedy: nine, two but for different reasons.
