joining me now, congressman joaquin, castro, a democrat fr texas. i was in el paso. that was unusual to some degree in the next day, there was another shooting in dayton. then went to dayton right afterwards and there was a brief moment there where you had one or two republican congressmen, including mike turner in the case of dayton because his daughter was nearby that shooting, who were making public statements about saying, well, now may be the time. have you had any conversations with republican lawmakers in the last 12 hours or so saying something similar, that, well, this may change my mind? >> i haven't yet. hopefully i will have those conversations at some point, but you played a clip by greg abbott and mentioned the el paso massacre in 2019. after el paso, greg abbott promised to do something to make it harder for these kinds of mass murders to happen again, and instead of doing anything to make it harder, he made it easier for people to live in danger, basically, for people to get guns, but no permit, no training, nothing. and so he's actually made this sit

congressman joaquin castro. thank you. i'm joined by the former chief of detroit police as well as detroit public school and the former assistant director for counterintelligence at the fbi. i am going to start with you, frank, just for a moment to talk about the ways in which you would back into investigating an incident like this in which the shooter is dead. how do you even begin to fill out how and why someone could kill their own grandmother and then go, you know, mow down more than a dozen little kids. i don't know how you get in the mind of somebody when would do this, but how would you investigate this crime? >> sadly we have too many sim layer shootings. we need to look at the shooter's life including mental history, physical health history, interactions with classmates, teachers, counselors. extensive amounts of interslews andries search history and ratings. they almost had all present, and i always use these traj you can moments to remind viewers that we're got to take responsibility which we can do which is und

. >>> joining me now joaquin castro. thank you for being with us. as you know the president is meeting with the families of the victims today. you were in uvalde yesterday. i know you met with some of them. what did you hear from them? >> jim, obviously just unimaginable pain and grief and suffering and a few things. first they want to find out why it took law enforcement so long, by some estimates, over an hour to take out the shooter. and i don't think we've seen that in any other situation like this, perhaps ever, where it took law enforcement that long and they're wondering why their kids and why uvalde, texas. also, they're concerned about their kids who still have to go back to school next year. they don't want to go back to robb elementary. they want the state and the federal government to work together to make sure that they can go to a different school, a new school. so i hope that president biden and governor abbott will work together with the legislature and the congress to make that happen. and just, you know, just an incredible sufferin

let's discuss with democratic congresswoman joaquin castro of texas. how much stock do you put into those words from the senate minority leader mitch mcconnell? >> well, i hope it's real. i hope it's more than just talk, that there will be some action. republicans in the past have hardly ever come forward and said this is affirmatively what we want to do to improve the situation, to make it harder for people to get a gun and go kill and mow down a lot of people very quickly. >> we have heard republicans here in washington and congress as well as in texas where you are say their focused on mental health, not guns right now, despite in gunman having no documented mental health issues. so what does a compromise response actually look like? >> well, you're right. i think that oftentimes we get in this debate about whether it's only a mental health issue or only a gun issue, and the fact is we can work on all of those things. we can work on mental health issues. w we can work on anti-bullying campaigns. it also involves making sure we limit the kind of guns

. >> joining us now is congressman joaquin castro, who represents the 20th congressional district of texas, a neighboring community to uvalde, texas. representative castro, we have heard once again from the two republican senators, those representing your state of texas, that they are in favor of absolutely nothing by way of regulation of any kind of controls of guns and ammunition, anything that could involve restricting the access to assault weapons by the kind of person who walked into that school today that killed those purple. yeah, that's right, lawrence. it shocks the conscience that lawmakers who have a chance to do something, could change the situation, to improve things, was a binder nothing. and, you know, the american people have made up their mind about what they want. yet 89% of americans, so a large slot of democrats and republicans lose support something like universal background checks. we support closing the loopholes. the gun reform measures, overwhelming support for these things. it is the members of the united states senate, the republicans, and of course, republ

congressman joaquin castro joins me next to discuss. joins me next to discuss joins me next to discuss trapped in a fog. this is art inspired by real stories of bipolar depression. i just couldn't find my way out of it. the lows of bipolar depression can take you to a dark place. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. this is where i want to be. call your doctor about sudden behavior changes or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report fever, confusion, stiff or uncontrollable muscle movements, which may be life threatening or permanent. these aren't all the serious side effects. now i'm back where i belong. ask your doctor if latuda is right for you. pay as little as zero dollars for your first prescription. what's on the horizon? the answers lie beyond the roads we know. we rec

. >> congressman joaquin castro, thank you for being with us this morning. >>> our next guest dr. patel grew up near uvalde, calling it a crowned jewel in the texas hill country and paid tribute to the school on twitter saying classrooms are filled with laughter. there is a smell of crayons, floor cleaner and chalk at all times. joining us now is dr. patel an nbc news medical contributor and former obama white house policy director. i've been thinking a lot about what you wrote about that, the smell of the crayons and of the cleaning products that smell like fresh roses and lavender. you say you wrote that thread because you wanted people to see the beauty of uvalde. tell us about this beauty. >> yeah, jose, thank you. i'm so glad you're there. i hope you get to go to all the places, the beauty, even being in front of robb elementary. you can see the beauty of the people all around. there is a main square there, getty street that literally fashioned after the main squares in the town squares that we see in mexico and so many places across the world and it's such a beautiful place.

congressman joaquin castro wants a federal investigation into the response here. in your view is this something based on the facts that have been laid out now over the last two hours today, does this sound like something that would rise to a federal investigation into the police response? >> generally no. police investigations are typically based on violations of civil rights or patterns and practices of constitutional violations, discriminatory policing. this sound more like incompetence. the border patrol, the u.s. border patrol was involved. so there could be some investigation of their role. but it sound like the real problem was with the local police department that had this on-scene commander and had perhaps a miscommunication with the dispatcher. some states have charges for neglect of duty. police officers have an affirmative duty that makes their omissions potentially criminal. i think what's far more likely here is there ultimately will be civil lawsuits brought by all of the families and sound like they may have a very strong case. >> we are now three d

i know congressman joaquin castro has mentioned about maybe engaging the fbi to do an investigation and find out more details. >> is that something you would support, sir? >> yes, i would. i think some questions need to be answered. we need more details. as sad as it is, as this comes to light and we get more answers the community of uvalde can be better informed and we can also learn from this and prevent future events like this. >> you're talking about members of the community about 20 minutes ago -- please, go ahead. >> yeah. no, i was going to say, not only that, hallie, but you know, this is -- the nation can learn from this, you know? other school districts can learn from this. community colleges can learn from this. i think we need a full investigation. >> you were referencing members of your community and we spoke to -- yasmin vossoughian had the brother of one of the little victims, xavier lopez on and he and his girlfriend, the mother of his child said they were angry. they were really angry with what they heard from law enforcement about how this investigation -- how this --

. >> i know my friend joaquin castro is asking for fbi investigation. i support that. i know our state troopers are good and honest people. i know they are working on putting this thing together. i know they will tell us the facts as to when things happen. i do expect that and i expect it quick. >> what do you want to hear from the president and first lady? >> listen, the president needs to come here and comfort people. that's what he is here to do. >> thank you. i'm sorry we met under these circumstances. >> thank you. >> thank you for standing up. looks like you haven't gotten any sleep. i hate the say that. >> i'm recovering from a surgery, but yeah, thank you so much. >> again, a lot more to talk about here, including her niece was inside the school behind me when the shooting happened. no one could reach ore. while worrying about that 8-year-old little girl, she was in lockdown here's teaching at uvalde high school. this is my next guest story. she'll tell us about it right after this. ork is here. it's there. it's everywhere. but for someone to be able to work fr

texas congressman, joaquin castro, is not calling on the fbi to investigate the response into the shooting. we are left with a series a question, some that we will never know the answer to, how many kids could have been saved? medical experts stress the importance of evacuating -- it took days to get a clear picture, and there are still gaps and what we do know. how do we prevent the next mass shooting in this country because democrats have sensible answers to that question? republicans, on the other hand, all they have is insulted nonsense. >> one of the things that everyone agreed is don't have all these unlocked back doors. have one door into and out of the school. >> if the school was on lockdown, could this doors have been locked where he could not go in? >> it creates points of access that are difficult to begin with, potentially arm and prepare and train teachers. >> you talk about this information, what about a department that can look at young men looking at women and social media, but about doing that? >> why did this happen, how did this happen we have got violent music, violent

earlier today, texas congressman joaquin castro reacted to the ruling here and msnbc. >> this really, and the ruling before at that half had an injunction or created injunction, undoing oil title 42 are actually breaking the immigration system even further. in other words, they're making things even worse. and it is going to be harder to fix because of it. >> more breaking news, the first shipment of baby formula as being loaded on to a u.s. military flight in germany. that flight due to depart moral. it will deliver 132 pallets of formula to indiana, as part of the biden ministration's operation five formula. the shipment address immediate needs one given more time for domestic manufacturers to ramp up production. and the january six committee landed testimony for one of its most high-profile witnesses yet, really giuliani. sources tell abc news the former trump attorney met with the panel friday for nine hours. he was subpoenaed to do so back in january. we are going to go beyond the headlines now, with nbc's mike medley insole. sam rock on the texas border with mexico. and see fatt

now texas congressman joaquin castro, he was on tv today and spoke off and on,e but he has an ideare about who's really to blame for the shooting. >> watch. the answer is not to armar teachers and create an evenvi more dangerous situation by having a lot more people with guns therere. but around the stateli legislature, the republican majority have made itcatyr more dangerous in texas by making it a lot easier for people toop get weapons that can kill a bunch of people. ea charlie.? he didn't miss a beat that it's entirely on a job. no, no. yeah, no, it's it's sort of unimaginable that you would have people in public life, politicians like and you know, joe biden's been at this for 50 years. he's been part of the problem for 50 years.50 and if he had a workable solution, he hasn't offered yet and the idea that he would walk out and you know, going into that speech i listened with an open heart open. i thought, man, this is a hard speech to give , but you all you have to do is you have to stick with a unifying message and to listen to how quickly he went to a divisive political smash

democratic congressman joaquin castro of texas is joining us right now. his district is just east of where this horrible mass murder, this shooting took place. congressman, thank you so much for joining us. i wish we were meeting under different circumstances right now. what's your reaction to this horrific shooting in texas not far from where your district is? >> i think like every other american who's seen the news, just absolutely heartbroken. my wife and i had our third child about three weeks ago, and we have an 8-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son, and i've been back home a lot. so i've been taking them to school, dropping them off to school every morning. and when i saw the news, i thought about how these parents that dropped their kids off at school, elementary school in the morning, were not going to be able to see them again. that was the last time they saw their kids. and you know, i think when these things happen, and they're happening over and over and over again, people first wonder, you know, what possesses somebody to go do that, to go
