RUSH TRANSCRIPT Welcome to ░░░░░░░░ fair show in television ░░░░░░░░ to have you with ░░░░░░░░ we re gonna get ░░░░░░░░ that in a minute ░░░░░░░░ first live pictures of ░░░░░░░░ First Lady job I ░░░░░░░░ arrived for a candlelight ░░░░░░░░ If history holds she ░░░░░░░░ echo her husband and ░░░░░░░░ about guns and the ░░░░░░░░ for more gun control ░░░░░░░░ will also likely note ░░░░░░░░ firearms now kill more ░░░░░░░░ than anything else about ░░░░░░░░ she is correct but ░░░░░░░░ we want to protect ░░░░░░░░ kids from guns and ░░░░░░░░ should there is no ░░░░░░░░ calling than protecting our ░░░░░░░░ and thus save their ░░░░░░░░ School shootings and prevent ░░░░░░░░ shootings is not the ░░░░░░░░ to start and associated ░░░░░░░░ analysis showed from Columbine ░░░░░░░░ Nashville mass school shootings ░░░░░░░░ one hundred and seventy ░░░░░░░░ kids That s one ░░░░░░░░ and seventy five sets ░░░░░░░░ parents with a hole ░░░░░░░░ size of Texas in ░░░░░░░░ heart It can never ░░░░░░░░ that s an average ░░░░░░░░ seven kids per year ░░░░░░░░ far too many but ░░░░░░░░ 20 20 one just ░░░░░░░░ year in just nine ░░░░░░░░ for which we have ░░░░░░░░ data guns were used ░░░░░░░░ kill four hundred and ░░░░░░░░ five kids None of ░░░░░░░░ were school shootings most ░░░░░░░░ back to gang violence ░░░░░░░░ nor St Louis the ░░░░░░░░ of Chicago barrios of ░░░░░░░░ in the mean streets ░░░░░░░░ Philadelphia in just nine ░░░░░░░░ During 20 20 one ░░░░░░░░ sixty six times the ░░░░░░░░ of kids died in ░░░░░░░░ violence that year versus ░░░░░░░░ average number of kids ░░░░░░░░ at school sixty six ░░░░░░░░ But you never hear ░░░░░░░░ those stories on the ░░░░░░░░ because the laws to ░░░░░░░░ their murders are not ░░░░░░░░ convenient Kids like jarvis ░░░░░░░░ nine years old someone ░░░░░░░░ him with a gun ░░░░░░░░ Chicago earlier this year ░░░░░░░░ major also nine some ░░░░░░░░ a gun killed her ░░░░░░░░ orlando arlene alvarez Also ░░░░░░░░ someone with a gun ░░░░░░░░ her in Houston Their ░░░░░░░░ have that same hole ░░░░░░░░ their heart that same ░░░░░░░░ that will never heal ░░░░░░░░ the First Lady doesn ░░░░░░░░ show up to their ░░░░░░░░ vigils there s no ░░░░░░░░ or wall The wall ░░░░░░░░ coverage of their desk ░░░░░░░░ families grieve in private ░░░░░░░░ s no go fund ░░░░░░░░ pages Protecting kids on ░░░░░░░░ streets of Chicago orlando ░░░░░░░░ in St Louis means ░░░░░░░░ gun laws that we ░░░░░░░░ have It means locking ░░░░░░░░ gang bangers for felon ░░░░░░░░ possession of a firearm ░░░░░░░░ that doesn t play ░░░░░░░░ well on MSNBC that ░░░░░░░░ t get you sound ░░░░░░░░ from this Senate floor ░░░░░░░░ it s not really ░░░░░░░░ good for campaign ads ░░░░░░░░ you make those speeches ░░░░░░░░ of course pick those ░░░░░░░░ kids because they re ░░░░░░░░ same age as the ░░░░░░░░ killed with a gun ░░░░░░░░ Nashville Their parents of ░░░░░░░░ are grieving is well ░░░░░░░░ Dick house holly Scruggs ░░░░░░░░ kenny they re all ░░░░░░░░ to the lives of ░░░░░░░░ child are worth protecting ░░░░░░░░ of course kids should ░░░░░░░░ safe from gun violence ░░░░░░░░ school but out of ░░░░░░░░ as well and the ░░░░░░░░ clearly shows if we ░░░░░░░░ to save kids from ░░░░░░░░ violence sky cool shootings ░░░░░░░░ upper middle class Neighborhoods ░░░░░░░░ assault rifles are not ░░░░░░░░ place to start It ░░░░░░░░ simply not we re ░░░░░░░░ most kids die yet ░░░░░░░░ s where the First ░░░░░░░░ is tonight and all ░░░░░░░░ TV Now the debate ░░░░░░░░ about banning assault rifles ░░░░░░░░ s no discussion of ░░░░░░░░ murders on the north ░░░░░░░░ of St Louis of ░░░░░░░░ south side of Chicago ░░░░░░░░ simply that is a ░░░░░░░░ more uncomfortable discussion in ░░░░░░░░ of St Louis the ░░░░░░░░ attorney general once the ░░░░░░░░ attorney their kim gardener ░░░░░░░░ because she refuses to ░░░░░░░░ gun crimes There Last ░░░░░░░░ kim gardener held a ░░░░░░░░ to plead her case ░░░░░░░░ worse People just like ░░░░░░░░ cause as you can ░░░░░░░░ disease as Yet we ░░░░░░░░ over and over and ░░░░░░░░ again the number one ░░░░░░░░ that kills kids is ░░░░░░░░ The way to stop ░░░░░░░░ crime is to prosecute ░░░░░░░░ people with guns So ░░░░░░░░ we bring it all ░░░░░░░░ Kim garber is literally ░░░░░░░░ the front lines of ░░░░░░░░ fight to keep kids ░░░░░░░░ getting murdered with guns ░░░░░░░░ she refuses to enforce ░░░░░░░░ laws to do just ░░░░░░░░ and the national media ░░░░░░░░ her a pass to ░░░░░░░░ and every other day ░░░░░░░░ kids died in her ░░░░░░░░ and 20 20 one ░░░░░░░░ fights for them Nobody ░░░░░░░░ about that 18 kids ░░░░░░░░ s 18 families in ░░░░░░░░ Louis is kids didn ░░░░░░░░ need to die on ░░░░░░░░ flip side three kids ░░░░░░░░ in Nashville and every ░░░░░░░░ senator must now answer ░░░░░░░░ why they don t ░░░░░░░░ to ban assault rifle ░░░░░░░░ that if it worked ░░░░░░░░ perfectly would barely touch ░░░░░░░░ problem There is anybody ░░░░░░░░ If they could find ░░░░░░░░ right approach wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ to do something because ░░░░░░░░ feel that pain and ░░░░░░░░ When we started talking ░░░░░░░░ bands or challenging on ░░░░░░░░ Second Amendment I think ░░░░░░░░ things that have already ░░░░░░░░ done and gone but ░░░░░░░░ far as we re ░░░░░░░░ to with gun control ░░░░░░░░ s pretty stark to ░░░░░░░░ you say that you ░░░░░░░░ t think there s ░░░░░░░░ else Legislative building that ░░░░░░░░ can do and it ░░░░░░░░ to guns We of ░░░░░░░░ is a country of ░░░░░░░░ higher calling than protecting ░░░░░░░░ next generation The only ░░░░░░░░ worse than not protecting ░░░░░░░░ is using a few ░░░░░░░░ as political pawns Their ░░░░░░░░ is a horrific tragedy ░░░░░░░░ the only thing worse ░░░░░░░░ all of that is ░░░░░░░░ hundreds of kids to ░░░░░░░░ every year and that ░░░░░░░░ what s happening Hundreds ░░░░░░░░ kids every year not ░░░░░░░░ schools but on the ░░░░░░░░ of major cities in ░░░░░░░░ and they are being ░░░░░░░░ to die because protecting ░░░░░░░░ is politically complicated With ░░░░░░░░ now Missouri state senator ░░░░░░░░ road It s good ░░░░░░░░ see a sure I ░░░░░░░░ I m still fascinated ░░░░░░░░ what s happening in ░░░░░░░░ Louis with kim gardener ░░░░░░░░ it that she just ░░░░░░░░ t want to put ░░░░░░░░ to prosecute felons with ░░░░░░░░ or is it something ░░░░░░░░ that Well I think ░░░░░░░░ s both people question ░░░░░░░░ motives is it isn ░░░░░░░░ incompetence is a you ░░░░░░░░ some some zeal for ░░░░░░░░ justice I think it ░░░░░░░░ both I think she ░░░░░░░░ She was put in ░░░░░░░░ by folks You know ░░░░░░░░ far love that have ░░░░░░░░ new definition of what ░░░░░░░░ is even supposed to ░░░░░░░░ but I also think ░░░░░░░░ is woefully incompetent There ░░░░░░░░ 20 seven hundred cases ░░░░░░░░ she s taken office ░░░░░░░░ have been dismissed Those ░░░░░░░░ on you know just ░░░░░░░░ things that the office ░░░░░░░░ t do well going ░░░░░░░░ mean there s no ░░░░░░░░ that the underlying cause ░░░░░░░░ underlying motive is this ░░░░░░░░ definition of justice To ░░░░░░░░ fair to learn to ░░░░░░░░ fair to her in ░░░░░░░░ way to her policies ░░░░░░░░ worked out as many ░░░░░░░░ they would It s ░░░░░░░░ like It s been ░░░░░░░░ huge failure of the ░░░░░░░░ The parent policy has ░░░░░░░░ in what people wanted ░░░░░░░░ is fewer process prosecutions ░░░░░░░░ the gun the gun ░░░░░░░░ is a lot more ░░░░░░░░ This protecting kids is ░░░░░░░░ lot more complicated as ░░░░░░░░ like Tennessee as constitutional ░░░░░░░░ I is there some ░░░░░░░░ that Republicans at some ░░░░░░░░ Are we going to ░░░░░░░░ willing to have of ░░░░░░░░ compromise which is okay ░░░░░░░░ re going to lock ░░░░░░░░ up who are found ░░░░░░░░ possession of weapons in ░░░░░░░░ the same time I ░░░░░░░░ your family says you ░░░░░░░░ a danger to yourself ░░░░░░░░ others and that can ░░░░░░░░ adjudicated in court then ░░░░░░░░ weapons as didn t ░░░░░░░░ with the Nashville shooter ░░░░░░░░ should of should be ░░░░░░░░ away Yeah I think ░░░░░░░░ s something that we ░░░░░░░░ talked about in Missouri ░░░░░░░░ to figure out a ░░░░░░░░ to to to do ░░░░░░░░ in a way that ░░░░░░░░ respectful of the Second ░░░░░░░░ It doesn t put ░░░░░░░░ s hard to say ░░░░░░░░ want to put the ░░░░░░░░ rights of folks into ░░░░░░░░ hands of one a ░░░░░░░░ relative to their interpretation ░░░░░░░░ law You know those ░░░░░░░░ things that hold on ░░░░░░░░ on hold on the ░░░░░░░░ The rights of Right ░░░░░░░░ if we want to ░░░░░░░░ that the Second Amendment ░░░░░░░░ t absolute right I ░░░░░░░░ understand perfectly logical position ░░░░░░░░ whether you agree or ░░░░░░░░ It s the it ░░░░░░░░ a position One s ░░░░░░░░ lot of people have ░░░░░░░░ rights of people are ░░░░░░░░ in the hands of ░░░░░░░░ judge That s why ░░░░░░░░ have a judicial system ░░░░░░░░ can lock up Judges ░░░░░░░░ take away your house ░░░░░░░░ can do lots and ░░░░░░░░ Of things why shouldn ░░░░░░░░ just be allowed to ░░░░░░░░ away your guns moment ░░░░░░░░ of those things are ░░░░░░░░ so that you re ░░░░░░░░ about aren t just ░░░░░░░░ right to own a ░░░░░░░░ is not a constitutional ░░░░░░░░ and so I do ░░░░░░░░ that you want to ░░░░░░░░ Go oh come on ░░░░░░░░ in the Constitution that ░░░░░░░░ keep you can t ░░░░░░░░ away property I mean ░░░░░░░░ come on her while ░░░░░░░░ gets it it s ░░░░░░░░ s a conversation that ░░░░░░░░ any of us are ░░░░░░░░ to to to take ░░░░░░░░ we ve actually started ░░░░░░░░ conversation The house in ░░░░░░░░ had a conversation about ░░░░░░░░ with possession of guns ░░░░░░░░ to minors and and ░░░░░░░░ have asked with three ░░░░░░░░ one that s come ░░░░░░░░ the Senate that we ░░░░░░░░ talking about here the ░░░░░░░░ couple of weeks that ░░░░░░░░ aimed at gay kim ░░░░░░░░ among other things really ░░░░░░░░ at public safety in ░░░░░░░░ and I think we ░░░░░░░░ have those conversations we ░░░░░░░░ to do what s ░░░░░░░░ for the people of ░░░░░░░░ What we want to ░░░░░░░░ what s best for ░░░░░░░░ city St Louis I ░░░░░░░░ part of that is ░░░░░░░░ sure that we re ░░░░░░░░ our part and also ░░░░░░░░ sure that if there ░░░░░░░░ something we can do ░░░░░░░░ make sure that kim ░░░░░░░░ is not doing things ░░░░░░░░ make the problem worse ░░░░░░░░ we can step in ░░░░░░░░ do something there I ░░░░░░░░ it s a it ░░░░░░░░ an outlet but it ░░░░░░░░ facts remain the same ░░░░░░░░ lot more kids die ░░░░░░░░ Missouri from gun crime ░░░░░░░░ gun crime in the ░░░░░░░░ a St Louis Less ░░░░░░░░ they do in school ░░░░░░░░ it s just that ░░░░░░░░ the way the way ░░░░░░░░ numbers work out which ░░░░░░░░ what we follow here ░░░░░░░░ s good to see ░░░░░░░░ short We appreciate it ░░░░░░░░ re welcome back anytime ░░░░░░░░ know how things continue ░░░░░░░░ can garner sounds good ░░░░░░░░ Thank you Speaking of ░░░░░░░░ last night a reporter ░░░░░░░░ President Biden about the
