- Texas Democratic candidate for Governor Beto O’Rourke interrupted a press conference in Uvalde, Texas, being chaired by his political rival, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott, telling Abbott the Uvalde shooting was “totally predictable.” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell covers that and how the Republican solution to school shootings didn't work in Uvalde, Texas.

So... children's lives are sacred, *_until they are born._*
...and then they're expendable because money from special interests speaks louder than anyone else in the room.
republikkkans need to stop with the _doublespeak._
Dems don't keer about unborn babies. The babies are defencesless but the blood thristy Dems don;t keer. Thay rip tha baby out and harvest its organs. Sickos is what I say about Dems.
Exactly! The hypocrisy is astounding.
@@Crossmauz2.0 you are so right but they are not they'll just try to sweep it under the rug.
You are so right they will bomb an abortion clinic and shoot doctors who perform them but I've never seen them bomb a gun store or shoot a gun store owner.
Ban books, ban abortions, ban learning about slavery... NOTHING about bans on guns
Your not getting my gun
Ban teaching 3 year olds capital race theory and hate. Dems are stupid
Because only guns (their manufacturers and lovers) write checks.
@@Curtis69213 but your uetrus the government can have.
So right They are a shameful party 🎈
Imagine being told to fight every instinct in your body as a parent to just go inside and save your child but you have cops arresting you for trying to do their job… that they’ve completely failed at.
I agree well said the guilt will be hard to knowing you may have made a difference, like the mosque where a man hit him with a chair and the perpetrator ended up tied up before the cops got, there if I understood correctly..
Normally, I would say the police did the right thing. Having a bunch of distraught parents running around in an active shooter scene is a recipe for disaster. But that assumes that the professionals are going to do their job.
Police would not want to mistake a parent getting their child, as the murderer, because police can be so gun happy. So they take another cruel line, preventing the parent going to their frightened child in serous danger. It is better to control the sale of guns, but that would affect the gun manufactures profits....... Profits are more important in America, than the lives of American children. Will the GOP ever get tired of being called stupid?
@@theodoresweger4948 10 years ago a nut went into the school. Went into a room with a teachers conference going on. In a strugle they got the gun away, and threw it out in the hall where the students were. Not the brightest thing to do with a gun. But it gets better. Then they threw the gunman out the door, and barricadded it. so gunman is out in hall with her gun AND the students.
What instinct would you be fighting to save your child?
You have to fight your instinct to go into an abortion clinic, not a gun fight.
Dont believe me, get between a momma and her cub and watch what happens to you.
No one wants to die. I get it. But the officers were cowards. The politicians are greedy and cowardly. America is a freaking mess 🤦🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😟😕🥺🥺🥺🥺😢
absolutely. We don't need gun control. We need mental health reform. There are parts of the country where kids need to learn to use a gun. Taking that away, gives them a death sentence.
@@Lisa-hj8fh No - you need gun control.
We have the same mental health issues in different countries.... you know how many of their elementary schools get shot up and their kids murdered?
Zero. Zilch. Nothing
Know why? Gun control.
A very big mess
The DSA..Divided States of America is a mess and I don't travel there as a Canadian. There are safer countries to visit. I felt sickened when those precious children were killed. Now the world sees the coverups, and not stricter gun laws...who needs a high-powered assault rifle? Except the military. Every country had problems with their government, but sorry, the U.S. is f****kd. Politicians get big $$$ there for their campaigning and so big companies contribute so then they have to keep them happy by slacking the laws.there dhoukd be a $ limit as we have here..so no politician is "bought off" I could go on but thx for letting me rant. Thoughts and many prayers 🙏 to the families and community of this tragidy .
reminds you of Jan 6 and pelosi fleeing the scene from a guy waiving an american flag taking a selfie. Jsut as she herself did a few years earlier. Well wihtout the flag.
Don't forget the people who blame this on mental health are the same ones voting against funding that would go towards metal health.
Oh no no! Jesus wouldn't want is spending money on mental health! That's communism! Republican Jesus would rather watch kids die
::DING::
🎯🎯🎯
Not true in any way.
Exactly!!
Greg Abbott is a disgrace
His goons are disgraceful also. I wonder if Beto can sue any of them for stopping him from exercising his right to free speech.
The inconsolable mother of one of the children who were killed said that :” I did a terrible mistake, I left my girl at school “,, what a sad state we are in if we can’t trust in the safety of our kids schools, if we have to fear that when we drop them off at school we might never talk to them or see them again
There was an awards ceremony earlier that day and some of the parents attended. I’d hate to think that her child asked to leave school early and the mother said no.
So sad but so true
@@fefelarue2948 terrible ....but true
If you have to fear schools. The World is watching the slaughter of children in schools and there is little reaction or outrage. Michael Moore made a film about mass murder in schools. It never ends, it will never end. We wait for the next slaughter to see if there will be gun reform. But no the NRA are more important than children and that is why there is no mourning for these babies, life goes on, guns go on. I would be gone and never look back.
@@fefelarue2948 it’s horrible that this mother will probably ask herself that question for the rest of her life, it’s not fair to have to carry the burden after someone took your child from you in such a senseless and violent way. Parents are required to send their kids to school but the law failed them because of gun advocates who will fight against any life saving safety regulations, it’s not that mothers fault but that of those “responsible gun owners “ who insist that everyone has the right to go around with loaded weapons
As an Aussie it's sad to see the state America has gotten themselves into with their gun laws or lack thereof. I don't know what could be done at this point, the battle is huge! Hopefully something can be done so no more schoolchildren have to die mercilessly by the hands of an selfish evil loser who has no business having a gun in their hands of any kind!
Guns laws are in place to prevent government corruption….. it would be more dangerous not to have guns.
@@TestTest-ei4gi Gun laws to prevent government corruption? Man that sounds bad what is going on over there?
Part of it is the amount of money involved in politics over there. The NRA donated millions of dollars to campaigns. Limit the donations, limit the corruption. Also make high capacity guns illegal like Aussie and NZ have. But they won’t, because money and power is more important than their citizens lives. They show it everyday by their inaction and thoughts and prayers. Shaking my head as a Kiwi.
Well, Governor Abbottoir disagrees. He thinks ANYONE who has no registered mental-health issues and can fork over the money should be able to buy as many military-grade killing machines as they please, at any time, at any age.
I think it is fair to say, the 'NRA has not done America any favours'.
O'Rourke spoke the truth and all they could do was swear and insult him.
Go on ya Beto, Shame on you Abbott and company.
VOTE THEM OUT.
If they don't want this to be political than why was everyone one the stage a politician.
...and why are all those politicians going to the NRA convention this weekend to celebrate the sanctity of guns?
BOOM!
good 👁 👍💯
@@thegreatselkie6009 Amen, Huge Boom. 💯
Hi sane brother. That comment would be like bases loaded and you hot a home run.
👏
I still don't get why the GOP is so pro life in regard to abortion. Yet they don't believe in healthcare or gun control...
Easy: the unborn never demand anything, they don't ask for money or anything else.
After they are born, they demand attention and help. Then the support stops.
I'm amazed that you are the first to mention this gross hypocrisy. Unborn life is sacred but living children can be shot any old time
Because that is how they get votes. Their base is religious, they don't like abortion (unless they need to get one), so the politiicians get easy votes by being anti abortion (unless their daughter or mistress needs one). Funny, their religious base is also very pro gun. So, keep that in mind, guns are a religion, hard to talk people out of a religion.
@@susella646 have you ever had a child? They are extremely expensive.
@@mistymarick2054 So? Then a little help is welcome, like we get it here in Europe.
But GOP politicians are only pro-life when it costs them nothing. Talk is cheap.
The politicians that have keep this an issue. Never want this turned back on them. So so so sick of them. 🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️
Stop talking about it and do something run for office then Maybe you can pass legislation and make a difference.
@@kencramer3129 why dont you? you do something. stop responding to people for your own ego and just do it
They're leaving out the fact that there were 42 armed cops there just standing outside for 30 minutes because they couldn't find the keys to the building.
Yet, cops will break down a door and bust someone with an ounce of weed.
🎯🎯🎯
They feel their only duty is to go home safe after every shift.
Its because they're cowards
Goof thing it's legal now in Zoo Jersey........
Cops are only brave when they have the upper hand. That is a trademark of all cops and all fascists.
As a lifelong Houstonian it sickens me to know that Governor Abbott was more concerned about keeping masks out of school than guns.
I hope my fellow Texans will finally say enough is enough and vote these gun lobbying pandering Republicans out of office.
What? Schools are federally funded gun free zones. Danger zones. Unconstitutionally
AMEN !
Masks don't work bro... Science
Of course they won’t. It’s also totally predictable. People are grossly apathetic. That’s why our country is doomed.
Vote Abbott and Paxton out of office in November 2022
Many of those cops need to be assigned to writing traffic tickets. That Mayor needs a recall.
These politicians have the blood of all those innocent children and 2 teachers on their hands!😡! My heart is broken for the parents of the children and families of the teachers who lost their lives.😢. My thoughts and prayers are with them.🙏
Greg Abbott has blood on his hands.
And I bet he is sleeping well tonight. He should be ashamed of his decisions. SMFH.
AGAIN. Remember February 2021 and the massive freeze? Now it's too hot. So do NOT use the a/c.
The shame of those who would allow 18-year-old American kids to acquire weapons of war should equal the shame of those Americans who once owned slaves. - j q t -
No you do .....Perhaps you should stop standing in the way every time we suggest we guard our children. You're ok with guarding our cash , celebrities and politicians with guns .... but no not the kids ... thier blood is on the hands of people just like you 👍
@@DemocratsrPDFfiles did you not watch the full episode or are you just dense? Armed officers "engaged with" the gunman before he went into the school and couldn't stop him. There was an armed guard at the Florida shooting too. That's not a real solution, it's just an excuse to keep selling weapons of war so gun manufacturers can keep making money. And in case you haven't noticed, there are plenty of bank robberies too. Yet more proof that more people with guns is not the solution.
The language from the mayor...disgusting absolutely disgusting.
You’re a sick individual if you think talking about gun laws less than 24 hours after 19 small kids were murdered is appropriate.
It's inbred belligerence. One of two pandemics we've been subjected to the past couple of years!
It sounded like a scene out of “Dukes of Hazard”.

Thank you Lawerence for keeping it real.
O’Rourke is right. This isn’t a “political issue” and, he wasn’t “out of line” at all! It’s a safety issue, a crime issue, a mental health issue, a human issue, a societal health issue, a gun security issue, and a human health & safety crisis. Federal & state government officials are supposed to be making it possible for our citizens to go about our lives peacefully, and safely. United States government officials & state government officials have consistently failed at this.
He certainly was right! And sometimes you have to make a point right where you and they are at the time!
There are more guns than people in this country. If teachers were armed and trained on defense, this could have been prevented.
No, he was wrong.
1. He was a vulture standing on the bodies of the dead children and metaphorically eating them to advance his own political career (he only is doing this because he wants to run for governor), trying to demand that the government should violate the right to keep and bear arms (which is used to defend innocent people all the time) and decreeing anyone who does not submit to his demands is evil. That is cold-hearted Machiavellian appeals to emotion there.
2. He was out of line for interrupting an ongoing press conference/release where people were already talking. He was violating their right to speak out by interrupting them.
3. As the Left themselves said, "The personal is political". Meaning to them, *EVERYTHING* is a political issue. So Leftists cannot hide behind the "it isn't a Political Issue"! malarkey when they have been pushing it this whole time.

Same from Canada. In fact, just yesterday in Toronto 4 schools were locked down on news of a gunman being reported in the area near them.

Despite strict gun laws here, there still is a problem with illegal firearms, nevertheless mass shootings in schools are an almost unheard occurrence here.

There’s no reason an 18 year old boy should be able to legally purchase any firearms. We need to raise the age to 21, for all firearms, psychological evaluation before getting a green light to purchase any firearms. In addition, they should be required to have structured, comprehensive firearms training. Also why do Americans need Military type assault weapons for “self defense”?
Raise the age? That will fix it.
Thank you, Lawrence, for showing the hypocrisy of Abbott and Cruz. Kudos to Beto O'Rourke.
Sounds like that “CNBC is really rotting your brain yeah?
You’re a sick individual if you think talking about gun laws less than 24 hours after 19 small kids were murdered is appropriate.
100% spot on.
In my book, the children's right to attend school without fear and in a safe, comfortable environment is more important than anyone's right to own weapons. Attending school should not be a roulette wheel with a death sentence attached.
Well your book means nothing. Accept it. I agree with you 100% . Im just more awakened. Govt dont care about anyone but themselves.
Not just schools, supermarkets, churches, movie theaters, clubs, etc.
Not just a death sentence, unspeakable pain and gruesome horror, they lived and died a horror movie, courtesy of Texas gun laws

For example 90,000,000 ( 90 MILLION ) babies killed in the womb with Democrat encouragement and support ! THAT is how much Democrats value children. And that is what the shooter has learned from the Democrat indoctrinations.

This breaks my heart. The unbelievable evil that lurks in some souls, too often just can’t be foreseen or for-warned. This whole timeline has been revised more than once and the law enforcement list of officers who actually stopped the gunman has also been revised. It may all be revised again because evidence takes time to collect but the news waits for no one. Shame on anyone who politicizes this tragedy looking for easy answers, instead of studying every aspect of all these school shootings and implementing real changes so that no child will be afraid to go to school. No parent will fear to let their children go to school. The teachers who died trying to protect these children are special heroes who showed extraordinary courage. I pray for everyone affected because no-one will come out of this unchanged, and some will never be whole again.
It is in a lot of people but thank goodness they can't walk into Wal-Mart and buy guns and ammunition. This is only the USA problem because guns are more important than childrens lives.

He needed to make a statement to give the false appearance of caring prior to going off and enjoying a fundraiser while his constituents were waiting for DNA results to determine if their child was alive or dead.
@@roseromans8497 He should be made to hear their cries of when they learned the terrible news. However, I don't think someone like that Texan governor would feel anything at all since he is tone deaf and inhuman to the families' suffering.
Political theater and deflection for the NRA.
@@blackthornsloe8049 with all the swearing it really was !
The people on that stage are emblematic of the complete failure of any sense of humanity or decency that pervades a majority of governing institutions in this country. Completely contemptuous. Evil is the destruction of life and evil is raging unabated.
I always find it strange to see an entourage standing behind the person at the microphone. I noticed how it became more and more prominent with Trump. Most places I have worked the question would be, "don't the rest of you have work to get on with? We have a mass shooting to deal with people!"
Just a photo op with phony empathy losers will do nothing but say the same old bs
G.O.P. Guns Over People
@@thepitpatrol Wrong! God if he/she/it existed he could've stopped it. Never there when you need him.
You are just a cheap con artist using this opportunity to preach lies and nonsense and superstition.
GTFO you liar
@@thepitpatrol Sure, because history shows us how much safer societies are when religion is involved.
I love you Lawrence for what you reported and said today.
When kids playing with matches or lighters in their house, the worse thing that can happen is the house will be on fire.
If you don't want your house on fire, then don't let your kids play with those things or keep away those things from your kids.
or teach them how to use it safely. if you never let your kids light a match or work with fire they're even more likely to burn their house down later on when they finally try it.
Texas needs to vote all the Republicans out of office
This will happen again for sure.
Let's all hope they all get voted out 💙🙏🙏👍😠
Texas GOP voters have blood on their hands.
Most of Texas is red soo....
Texas is the epitome of pompous self serving republicans.
Not if they keep cheating, and restricting voters. The new thing is putting these gop clowns in positions where they can throw out your votes if they don't like the outcome. Pathetic bunch of clowns.
Greg Abbott seals the fate and signs the death warrant of 19 children with his own signature in antiquated legislation. This is how history will remember him, the world over.
I applaud Beto O’Rourke!!! Yeah for you for confrontation of these coldly ignorant gun lovers!!
Lawrence O'Donnell has the best opening monologues that explains the situation in clear language and gives you a visual with no ambiguity. Thanks Mr. O'Donnell.
He's really good. I like to listen to him too.
And this country dares to criticize other countries on human rights? Laughable.
ThE CIA was celebrating the assassination of Martin Luther King, so yeah.
very good point!
It is laughable and always has been.
You’re misunderstanding. Traditional human rights are legal limits to state authority. They are negative: “what the government cannot do”. Rights traditionally cannot require a state to provide something, and they do not restrict private authority. That’s why they’re a flawed concept. In contemporary society we want a right to food, housing, or safe schools. And we tell other citizens it is our right. None of that involves the state, or its absence.
Agree totally!!! The US is no longer the beacon of democracy and freedom. So sad.
That news conference was the worst display of losers I’ve ever seen, Shame on them, God help us all!
from you
MSNBC celebrating the murder of children is sickening.
MSNBC have discarded their humanity to become horrible ghouls who dance on the graves of children. Shame on you all MSNBC.
🇨🇦 God can't help y'all. He supposedly expects you to help yourselves as I understand your theologies.
@@jeffpatterson4061 If God helps those who help themselves best get the Canadian army to the southern border the Americans will pay for it.
**. REPUBLICANS,,,, REFUSE TO PASS,,, SENSIBLE GUN LAWS. !!!! Like every other civilized country has.!!!! **
Thank you Lawrence O’Donnell 👍
Later this week, a middle school student was searched in Fort Worth, Texas. The police officer who searched this kid found a loaded gun in his/her backpack.
I can’t even stand to look at Abbott or Cruz.
Second that. He’s hideous 🤮
Political Cowards..! 🙄
They make me sick!
For Abbott to hold a political campaign party, while parents are learning about the status of their children. How Fxxking heartless is that. This didn’t bother him what’s so ever! Abbott and Cruz and the rest of his cronies are disgusting horrible people! How can anyone stand behind these people and support them. Evil is you Abbott for doing absolutely nothing and go party a few hours latter!
I agree
BRAVO BETO O'Rourke!
♥️💪🏾👊🏿
"You're out of line"
Yep, you're lined up to watch children die, stop forcing me in that line.
The only time i saw police in my school was when they teached us road safety for riding bicycles to school. They were armed with knowledge
We walked down the street with our guns. the police were not called in panic to come shoot us like democrats did to Tamir Rice.. If they drove by they may stop and ask us what we were going to shoot, and to be safe and have fun.
Talk is cheap , these republicans have no respect for anyone, he called him a sick sob in public podium
Nice car.
The GOP are the sick SOB's.
Those kids were killed just so you could push gun control and feed your hate. Thats why it happened.
More outraged towards beto than to what happend
with open borders more of this will be happening, that's Biden.
That mayor was trying to shout him down because he knows he Is a huge part of the problem.
Exactly how is the mayor a part of the problem here? What are democrats doing to help?
@@deplorablefederalist7908 deplorably ignorant federalist. Figure that out for yourself.
@@deplorablefederalist7908 there's plenty of laws passed by Congress and vetoed by the Republican Senators for the past 20 years. One party prefers making the NRA happy, happily getting their campaign money, but not protecting the general public from army grade machine guns that are much too easy to obtain. Abbott needs to go!
@@deplorablefederalist7908 his ignorance and hypocrisy. The same can be said about dems. This is why I’ve always hated both parties they don’t do anything for us.
Well, he is, but I doubt he understands that.
Amen! You're talking now! Tell it!
This is so scary what happen to the kids being our future 😳
THAT man screaming/ cursing, is too embarrassed to face the TRUTH, hence the insults to Beto O'Rourke for exposing their wicked policies!!😢. Thanking you as always for explaining brilliantly this unstoppable gun craziness!!!
Beto O'Rourke is a tool
As Beto encourages illegal immigrants smuggling guns, drugs etc, across the border into Texas…
He's the mayor of Uvalde, a city that votes Republican.
I saw that exchange while watching Nicolle Wallace. Beta O'Rourke was right. The Governor allowed that person to buy guns and ammo once he turned 18. He couldn't however buy alcohol. Tell me how that makes any sense.
Beto I mean Robert he can try to take my AR15s, I'd honestly like to see what he will do.
I guess the shooter was part of the well-regulated militia.
@Travis Waters I don't think so. He signed so much legislation on guns.
I can't
@@melinakkraus5848 you are special aren't you, use this thing called goggle and you might actually learn something since msnbc doesn't show real news lol.
Sadly... If there was ever indisputable evidence that waiting for law enforcement to protect or save you or your students instead of arming yourself against evil, this should be it!
Thank you Lawrence
The children don't have to die. We need to quit paying for security for politicians they seem that a lot of them get rich let them pay for there own.
So the politicians can have gun protection as long as they pay for it themselves? But us peasants can't?
and their own healthcare !
Great idea, unfortunately they'll just give themselves another raise or three to cover it
Gun violence in the United States is slowly becoming more devastating than Hurricanes …Since the beginning of this year there have been at least 27 shooting deaths on school property with 56 people injured. Republican Senators have bluntly refused to offend the NRA and save parents the trauma and grief over the loss of their children and loved ones. A simple call to action is by pre-naming all upcoming and predictable mass shootings after recalcitrant Senators e.g. Ted Cruz Mass Shooting; Mitch McConnell Mass Shooting; Susan Collins Mass Shooting; John Hawley Mass Shooting; Tim Scott Mass Shooting etc. In other words, the Republicans who refuse gun controls will now own future school shootings and other mass murders. This year’s hurricanes will be known as Alex; Bonnie; Colin; Danielle; Rina and Jose, among others.
Stop saying what we need to do and DO IT
They wanted him to leave because they don't like being called out for their bad behavior.
Robert O'Rourke wanted to try to resurrect his failing campaign by standing on the bodies of murdered children. He went to this press conference for his own benefit.
@@hdtvcamera1 Wrong! That's what you see because that's how you would react. We see in others what we see in ourselves. That would have been me if not him. And given the latest poll, 90% of the rest of America agrees with him.
@@hdtvcamera1 And why is that relevant to the issue? Because of this you don't want to do anything to help stop the killings? You are a spawn of Satan just like every one of the 50 republican senators who've been dumping on the Constitution and stonewalling justice since Nixon.
You are a good reporter, to the point and true.
Wow. I didn't know you weren't allowed to make a political issue at a press conference of politicians.
The guy repeatedly shouting “you’re out of line!” is the one who’s out of line.
Governor Reek Cruz
Should we expect anything different from Republicans. Money first America last. Just the facts mam.
Lol you say that just as Biden sent 40 billion to Ukraine.
He also sent $10,000 worth of baby formula to Ukraine in March.
How’s that for “America last” 🤣
You said it, so true.
Perhaps you should stop standing in the way every time we suggest we guard our children. You're ok with guarding our cash , celebrities and politicians with guns .... but no not the kids ... thier blood is on the hands of people just like you 👍🙄
@@DemocratsrPDFfiles there was a guard. He failed. Get your facts correct.
@@monicamazzaro2811 it was in the video. Like he explained it in its entirety and this dude still doesn't get it.
Given the Statement: "The Truth Hurts." Then the corollary is: "If you want to Hurt somebody, use the Truth!"
Excellent rationality Lawrence.
Thanks for presenting a thought out piece.
