AMID THE ANGER AND THE QUESTIONS

HAVE HAPPENED THE NUMMINGLY
FAMILIAR MOURNING IS ALSO UNDER

VICTIMS.
TODAY THE LATEST ATTACK
OVERSHADOWED SOMEWHAT JOE
BIDEN’S FIRST MEETING WITH A
FOREIGN LEADER AT THE WHITE
HOUSE AS HE HOSTED THE JAPANESE
PRIME MINISTER, BIDEN REJECTED
THE IDEA THAT GUN REFORM WAS NOT
A PRIORITY ON HIS AGENDA.
>> IMMEDIATELY UPON US COMING IN
OFFICE AND HAVING AN ATTORNEY
GENERAL I ASKED HIM TO PUT
TOGETHER THE THINGS I CAN DO
WITH EXECUTIVE ORDER.
THE CONGRESS HAS TO STEP UP AND
ACT, THE SENATE HAS TO ACT.
IT DOESN’T MEAN I CAN’T ALSO BE
WORKING AT THE SAME TIME ON THE
ECONOMY AND ON COVID.
EVERY SINGLE DAY -- EVERY SINGLE
DAY THERE’S A MASS SHOOTING IN
THE UNITED STATES AND YOU COUNT
ALL THOSE KILLED OUT ON THE
STREETS IN OUR CITIES AND RURAL
AREAS.
IT’S A NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT
AND MUST COME TO AN END.
>> MEANTIME THE FAMILY OF DAUNTE
WRIGHT WHO WAS KILLED BY A
POLICE OFFICER NOW CHARGED WITH
MANSLAUGHTER HAS INTENSIFIED
DEMANDS THAT SHE FACE MORE
SERIOUS CHARGES.
THE CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER WHO
SHOT AND KILLED 13-YEAR-OLD ADAM
TOLEDO IN ADMITTEDLY DIFFERENT
CIRCUMSTANCES HAS SO FAR NOT
BEEN CHARGED.
TODAY THE WHITE HOUSE WAS ASKED
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S REACTION
TO THAT SHOOTING.
>> THE PRESIDENT HAS AGAIN
REPEATEDLY SAID HE BELIEVES WE
NEED POLICE REFORM.
THAT’S WHAT HE’S CALLING FOR
CONGRESS TO SEND TO HIS DESK.
>> ON ANOTHER MATTER IT’S NOW
BEEN 100 DAYS SINCE THE
INSURRECTION.
THE LOOTING, THE DESECRATION OF
OUR CAPITOL.
TODAY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
OBTAINED ITS FIRST GUILTY PLEA

SELF-IDENTIFIED, OF THE OATH
KEEPERS WHO WAS ARRESTED IN THE
JANUARY 6th RIOT.
JOHN RYAN SCHAFFER, FIRST
DEFENDANT TO PUBLICLY FLIP IN
THE SPRAWLING INVESTIGATION THAT
HAS LED TO CHARGES AGAINST MORE
THAN 410 PEOPLE NOW.
SCHAFFER WILL NO TELL THE FEDS
ALL THAT HE KNOWS.
SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI STILL
PUSHING FOR A 9/11-STYLE
COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE WHAT
HAPPENED AND HAS SENT A PROPOSAL
TO HOUSE REPUBLICANS WHO SO FAR
HAVE YET TO AGREE ON SUCH A
MOVE.
>>> MEANWHILE DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESSMAN DAN KILDY SAYS EVER
SINCE THE RIOT THE MOOD BETWEEN
THE PARTIES HAS BEEN LESS THAN
CONJENNIAL.
>> I STILL HAVE TO WORK WITH AND
SPEAK TO THESE MEMBERS WHO
CONTRIBUTED TO THIS BIG LIE,
BENEFITTED FROM THIS BIG LIE AND
NOW WANT TO SAY, WELL, LET’S BE
BYGONES BE BYGONES.
I CAN’T TRUST THEM BECAUSE I NOW
KNOW IN A MOMENT OF REAL
PRESSURE WHEN THEY HAVE TO
CHOOSE BETWEEN THEIR COUNTRY AND
THEIR OWN HIDE, I KNOW HOW
THEY’RE GOING TO CHOOSE.
AND IT’S VERY DIFFICULT TO WORK
WITH SOMEBODY WHEN YOU KNOW THAT
ABOUT THEM.
WHEN THE PRESSURE IS ON THEY DID
NOT CHOOSE THEIR OATH OF OFFICE.
