Adviser and democrats blaming everyone but russia following the indictment of 13 russians accused of meddling in the 2016 election. Members of the president s own party are blasting what hes saying today. I think its an absurd statement, okay, absurd. The fact of the matter is the fbi apparently made a terrible mistake and people should be held accountable. But we need leadership out of the executive. This is a great opportunity for commonsense steps that can be taken. All of this comes as more victims of the horrific Florida Shooting are being laid to rest this hour. The survivors are demanding changes to prevent more of these tragedies from happening again. Lets begin with the tweet storm from the president and the news that he will hold a listening session on School Safety with High School Students and teachers this week. Cnns Boris Sanchez is traveling with the president and is he joins us live. Boris, what more can you tell us . Reporter we learned in the past hour or so that the president will be holding this listening session on wednesday with students and teachers, and on thursday hes actually going to be sitting with local and state officials to discuss School Safety as well. We dont really have clarity right now on exactly who the president is going to be meeting with, if those students will be from Marjory StonehamDouglas High School and we should know better who the president will be meeting with as we get closer to wednesday. The president started on a tweet storm at 11 00 p. M. Last night and went into early this morning, but the majority of his focus is on russia, the president taking aim at some of his favorite targets, democrats and the media, but also undercutting an adviser that hes long been rumored to have some disagreements with, his National Security adviser, h. R. Mcmaster, who was speaking at the munich conference and was asked about the indictment that was put out on the russia investigation friday by Deputy Attorney general rod rosenstein. I want you to listen to what mcmaster said that the president felt he had to clarify. Heres the sound bite. As you can see with the fbi indictment, the evidence is now really incontrovertible and available in the public domain. Whereas in the past, it was difficult to attribute for a couple of reasons. First, technically it was difficult, but then also you didnt want to divulge your intelligence capabilities. But now that this is in the arena of a Law Enforcement investigation, its going to be very apparent to everyone. Reporter now here is the president s tweet. He wrote, general mcmaster forgot to say the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the russians and that the only collusion was between russia and crooked hillary clinton. The dnc and the demes. Remember, the dirty dossier, uranium, speeches, emails and the podesta company. Remember, the dossier says the russians were trying to disparage hillary clinton. Further, it doesnt mention anything about dossier, uranium, speeches, emails or the podesta company. The president trying to take matters into his own hands here. And there is no condemnation of russia for interfering in the 2016 election, some kind of warning if they were to do that again they would have to face consequences, fred. Boris sanchez, thank you very much. Our democratic and republican lawmakers are reacting to the president s tweets. Many say the agencys top Law Enforcement agency may have made a mistake by not following up on a tip about the shooter. Others stopping short of agreeing with the president when he said the russia investigation is taking up too much of the fbis time. The fbi missed an opportunity to weigh in heavily and perhaps prevent something from happening. That is a tragedy that should be investigated. I believe that oversight in the house and the senate will do so. A separate issue is how they spend their time and whether or not the time is well spent on this russian situation. I will tell you that from my perspective, that so many folks in the fbi are doing all that they can to keep us safe. We cant keep blaming the fbi. We have to do something about this immense threat in the country with so many weapons of such high power that are accessible to people with Serious Mental Health problems. Joining me right now, cnn political analyst and princeton historian and professor julian zelitzer and political activist ryan zela. Thank you so much to both of you. What we havent heard from the president is meaningful dialogue about gun control. Thats about to change, apparently, as the president is set to hold a listening session with high schoolteachers and students on wednesday. Still unclear where the teachers are coming from. Does this signal the president is willing to make some changes or at least listen about them . Well, we see hes willing to listen but its unclear how much of what he hears will affect him. So far hes been pretty adamant not talking about gun control, focusing on Mental Health and other issues. At the same time, republicans in congress have made clear theyre not very interested in any kind of substantive legislation. So im skeptical that this will be more than an appearance. A photo op, so to speak, that will really change the politics of gun control in washington. And you know, ryan, the president has been criticizing the fbi in terms of missing things as it pertains to this shooter. This is how senator Bernie Sanders saw it this morning. Of course we have to make it harder for people to be able to purchase weapons. We have people now who are on terrorist watch lists who cant purchase a weapon. Does this make any sense to anybody . Bottom line here, republicans are going to have to say its more important to protect the children in this country than to antagonize the nra. Are they prepared to do that . I certainly hope they are. Some other Things Congress might entertain. Would it be simply making it tougher to buy guns for certain people . Thats what has to be looked at. Every study that studies the gun problem in the United States comes to the same conclusion. We have more gun violence in america because we have more guns and easier access to those guns by people who perhaps should not have them. But the bottom line is we have 30 million excuse me 30,000 gun deaths in the United States because we have so many guns. You know, theres only so many ways to solve this problem. Its not like it needs a lot of study or investigation. We know how to do it, we know it has worked in the states, for instance, in connecticut after the newtown massacre there. They restricted guns quite severely, or at least for an american state they did, and gun deaths have gone down significantly in connecticut. We know it has worked in other countries. So and look, Bernie Sanders is a democrat who used to be pretty not very high on gun control and he has changed in the last few years, as most other democrats have. A lot of democrats used to be scared to talk about gun control. The Democratic Party really has changed on that. The Republican Party hasnt. The two parties are pretty polarized on this issue right now. Donald trump used to be a much more sort of typical new york liberal before he was running for the republican nomination, and you could find all sorts of statements before he started running for president where he was open to sort of moderate gun control. What changed was he entered the republican primaries and realized that the nra and gun rights active iists are extreme important and he needed their support to win the nomination. Even though trump has been flexible on all sorts of issues as both a candidate and a president , he has never waivered on the Second Amendment and gun control issues. Hes always been right in line with other hard line supporters. And as with other School Shootings, there has been outrage. Now the survivors are calling for taking the lead and calling for action. These survivors are incredible. They got a lot of peoples attention. Now there is a planned Significant National march that will be the main event next month march 24 in washington, d. C. And perhaps spur other marches across the country. Lets hear and see whether congress will be listening. Its not members of congress, its the speaker of the house who refuses to bring these bills up, and the few times when we have a chance to actually introduce amendments to try to bring them to the floor, carlos has voted against those. We need the opportunity to vote. We should he should talk to the speaker, he should come to the speaker with those kids, and he should encourage marco rubio to come to parkland and face these kids directly, and he should encourage the president to come to parkland. Stop using this for politics and come to parkland and talk to these kids and their families and everyone who has suffered. Thats what should happen. Thats how change will come. Julian, is that kind of partnership possible . Yeah, it is possible, and we shouldnt forget the power that grassroots mobilizations have had, often from young people in american history, and theyve been able to break what is considered to be the inevitable status quo. So, you know, back in 1964, the idea of civil rights lengislatin was impossible. All the interests lined up against it. But a Civil Rights Movement with a lot of young people made politicians change their mind about what was possible. The rally we saw yesterday, the planned march and the possibility of some kind of actual mobilization going into a midterm year could be effective. It will take a lot of work. The nra has a lot of clout in washington and many members of congress are going to be scared to vote on any kind of legislation, but those students and their allies should not be underestimated. So among those who were very vocal this morning, Ohio Governor john kasich, he said that he has no confidence that congress will address gun control. Listen. I was talking to a friend of mine this morning, hes a big gun collector. I said, if all of a sudden you couldnt buy an ar15, what would you lose . Would you feel as though your Second Amendment rights would he be road be eroded because you couldnt buy a god darn ar15 . These are the things that have to be looked at and action has to happen. Youre never going to fix all of this, but commonsense gun laws make sense. And im hopeful that this group ive assembled on both sides of the issue are going to come together with recommendations. The speaker of our house, cliff rosenberger, says hes anxious to see what is produced. Well see. And if they dont produce anything, ill put my own stuff out. Hes serious. There are obstacles. Kasich was one who was in washington in the 90s, part of a class of very conservative republicans that came to power during the Clinton Administration and were way to the right on gun issues. But now as governor is much more sounds like hes much more open, much more moderate on the issue, willing to listen and willing to push things, including, it sounds like, some version of the assault weapons ban which was in effect nationally for a number of years but expired during the obama era. Look, kasich does sort of represent a part of the Republican Party that is its own you know, its own silo right now. There arent that many Prominent National republicans who are willing to even say what he just said in that clip. But, you know, perhaps some of the Energy Around this movement and some of the activism that is a counterbalance to the nra will start to push other republicans in that direction. All right, ryan, julian zelitzer, thank you. We have a lot more to talk about. The Florida Shooting that took several student lives is under way right now. And new details emerge on the shooters past, including what his adopted family knew. Stay with us. Here comes the rain. [ horn honking ] [ engine revving ] whats that, girl . [ engine revving ] flo needs help . [ engine revving ] take me to her coming, flo why arent we taking roads . flo. [ horn honking ] oh. You made it. Do you have change for a dollar . This was the emergency . [ engine revving ] yes, i was busy 24hour roadside assistance. From americas numberone motorcycle insurer. You know, i think youre my best friend. You dont have to say im your best friend. Thats okay. You dont have to say im your best friend. I thought i was managing my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. But i realized something was missing. Me. The thought of my symptoms returning was keeping me from being there for the people and things i love most. So, i talked to my doctor and learned humira can help get, and keep,uc under control when other medications havent worked well enough. And it helps people achieve control that lasts so you could experience few or no symptoms. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening Heart Failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible. Another difficult day for many in parkland, florida today as family and friends are saying their final goodbyes to two of the 17 School Shooting victims. Funerals are just Getting Started by Jamie Guttenberg who was just 14 years old, and scott beigel, the father of the young girl, gave a powerful speech at the vigil and reminded parents to hug their children and say i love you. He has these heartbreaking words about how his family will move forward. What is unfathomable is jamie took a bullet and is dead i dont know what i do next. My wife is home. We are broken. And 35yearold geography teacher scott beigel is being remembered as a hero. He was killed as he tried to usher students back into his classroom when the shooting started. Mr. Beigel was my hero and he will forever be my hero. Ill never forget the actions he took for me. Im alive today because of him. Earlier today 14yearold Alex Schacter was laid to rest. He was in the schools marching band and orchestra. This is the start of another difficult week, and this time dotted with a lot of funerals for the victims. Tomorrow 15yearold luke hoyer will be laid to rest. Lets go live now to florida. We have team coverage. Cnns caylee hartung and mark savage joining us. Caylee, you first. You were outside one of the funerals. What can you tell us . I am, fred. Scott beigel is being remembered at the temple behind me as a hero. But as one man said youeulogiz him, he is celebrated not just as a hero but for the way he lived. He had the benefit of grandparents local to the area so he never left. He was also a beloved Camp Counselor at camp starlight in pennsylvania, the camp he attended as a kid, and where he met his current girlfriend gwen. You remembered Alex Schacter who played trombone in the schools marching band and orchestra. He already endured the loss of his mother back in 2008. And Jamie Guttenberg who is being remembered as we speak whose favorite color was orange. People could be seen wearing orange ribbons honoring her and many wearing orange as they walked into her funeral. She had brothers who were also students at stone hham Douglas High School and escaped without injury that fateful day. Two families had the pleasure of welcoming home two of their children as they were released from the hospital. Three remain in the hospitals care, though one who was listed in Critical Condition has improved and upgraded to fair. That means all three that remain in the hospital are in fair and stable condition, fred. All right. Martin, to you now. Youre learning more about the shooter. What . Reporter indeed, fred. Let me point out something today that is new, and that is the fact they have opened the main street right in front of Stoneham Douglas high school. It is the first time the general public has been able to drive by or even walk up to the school, and many people are taking advantage. The traffic is bumper to bumper and you see many families coming, one, to bear witness, and two, to pay their respects to what happened. As for what is going on with the investigation, investigators still looking into, were there red flags . Were there warning signs this was potentially in the offing . We already know about the miscue that went with the fbi. Now theyve obtained records from a Welfare Organization here in south florida, and they report that back in 2016 in which he showed himself on snapchat cutting his arms and talking about obtaining a gun that that was deemed so serious that investigators went to his home. They talked to his mother, they talked to nikolas, they looked at his living environment. Even after speaking with veflt o investigators, it was deemed that nikolas cruz was at low risk of harming himself or anyone else. So there were a number of investigations being done on a state, and an attempt at a federal level, and there were red flags raised but no direct action was taken. We also obtained his disciplinary records yesterday, and it showed back to middle school that nikolas cruz had disciplinary problems, acting out, allegedly acting out with his teachers until 2017 when he was finally expelled. So red flags but no direction action was taken to stop him or incarcerate him in any way. Fredricka . Incredible details. Thanks to both of you. I appreciate it.

President trump going on a 20hour twitter storm. In a barrage of tweets lats nig last night and this morning, he was saying the fbi lost many signals about the parkland, florida shooter. But the president hasnt denounced russia over the indictments. Instead of condemning the kremlin, he tweeted out comments like this one. If it was the goal of russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the u. S. , then with all the committee hearings, investigations and party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They are laughing their as off in moscow. That from the president. Former National Intelligence director James Clapper is warning, there is a bigger danger when the president turns his criticism away from moscow. Above all this rhetoric here, again, were losing sight of what is it were going to do about the threat posed by the russians. He never talks about that. Its all about himself, collusion or not. The indictment, as was the Deputy Attorney generals statement, was very precisely and carefully worded. The indictment itself reflected no collusion in the same way that it acknowledged members of the Trump Campaign were unwilling participants in this. I want to bring back cnn political analyst julian zelitzer and ryan to talk about this. The president throwing his own security adviser, h. R. Mcmaster, under the bus in that tweet but not to criticize russia. What will this do to his own National Security team . It was already strained, and i think with this indictment, it will become worse. I do think there are members of the National Security team who want the president to simply acknowledge what is before the public, that there is substantial evidence that russia conducted this campaign during the election this is not about the collusion part of the investigation and to offer some kind of assurance and plan that the United States will make sure this doesnt happen again. And someone like mcmaster has his reputation on the line, he has his own beliefs in what needs to happen with public policy, and yet hes watching a president who is tweeting very Different Things and who is showing no indication that he takes this seriously. Instead he attacks the fbi, and he attacks many of his opponents with a vehemence thats absolutely lacking when it comes to russia. Is that, then, the explanation of why hell do this . He already has a strained relationship and has so for a while. Yeah, and what it shows is he still expects his top National Security officials in their public statements to be talking about the russia investigation and the Russian Campaign against our election system in 2016 in terms that go back and defend donald trump. Thats what he expects. And mcmaster was very candid, said what every other National Security official and intelligence official who is honest have been saying and believes, and what clearly tipped off trump is that he wasnt using these talking points that trump has been using since the mueller indictments came out the other day, and that is to say, oh, the indictments didnt have anything to do with collusion, or, oh, the campaign started in 2014 when trump wasnt running for president. All of these sort of beside the point. Frankly, gaslighting talking points that he expects from his National Security team. In fact, lets go down memory lane, shall we . This is some of what the president has said about russia and vladimir putin. Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. What i said there is i believe that he believes that, and thats very important for somebody to believe. I feel that he feels he and russia did not meddle in the election. Julian, what were seeing today, merely in step with the pattern. The president deferring to, if not flattering, russia. Look, the president is pretty consistent on some things and this is one of them. And hes had a pretty consistent response whenever this story comes up and this controversy comes up. Hes either dismissed it altogether or focused on the part of the revelation that has to do with the 2016 election. The one thing we rarely hear are strong words about what happened to the electoral system, not to him, and assurances that the administration is taking this seriously. We have a midterm right around the corner, and theres been a lot of evidence this might happen again. And so those clips, i think, really reflect where the president is in dealing with this scandal. Republican center James Frankton offered his own opinion on russian meddling. This is what he had to say. The president has tweeted about mueller indictments 13 times since friday, including five times this morning, and not once, sir, has he condemned russia. Does that bother you . It does because russia has clearly tried to advance their agenda into the United States. The president is very adamant to say he didnt collude, hes very frustrated because of the fact that some think hes only president because of the russian collusion. But i would say the clear message here is that russia did intend to interfere in our election, however far back that may be, maybe 2014 when they were colluding with other russians to make sure they get chaos into our election system. Are more republicans willing to say that now . They are now, but it hasnt always been the case. In this question of collusion, im glad you played that previous trip of Trump Inviting russia to get involved. Emails, uhhuh. I know trump spokespeople said, oh, he was joking. But this idea of collusion, there is overt collusion, right, and that could be criminal, say, that mueller seems to be looking into, and that would be Trump Campaign officials secretly working with hackers or, you know, russians to interfere in the election. We dont have strong evidence of that yet. There is also, though, just the collusion that was out in the open that i think is suggested by that clip. In other words, when the Trump Campaign in 2016 promoted the illegal, the stolen, hacked and dumped emails from john podesta and the dnc, and when they openly advanced and pushed the press to cover that, right, and made an issue of it. And as we saw in that clip, invited putin to hack hillary clinton. You know, is that collusion . That was certainly saying, i dont have a problem with this information being out there, even though it may have been stolen by Russian Military services. And then theres the sort of unwitting collusion we saw in the friday indictment. That is, these russian nationals going to Trump Campaign staffers who didnt know they were russians and getting some assistance from them. So what we dont have strong evidence of yet is the sort of, you know, the secret collusion, and thats what trump has intentional. Yeah. Right. All right, well leave it right there.

Parents, teachers and survivors of the Florida Shooting coming together, capturing the governments attention on gun violence. These students are shocked, angry, numb, afraid, you name it. Now they are railing against washington for not doing more to protect them. The number that they are worth will go down. If you dont do something about this, shame on you gun control and whether or not i will be shot wherever i go. My innocence, our innocence, has been taken away from us. Ive already, i think, called out on congress and told them this is their job, is to work for the people and theyre not working for the people. The country wants gun reform and they refuse to talk about it now is the time we would say that is not enough. We do the same thing again and again and the same thing continues to happen. We say stop it today. Joining me right now, nicole honkley. Her sixyearold son dillon was killed in the sandy hook shooting five years ago. Good to see you again, but unfortunately, under such tragic circumstances. It seems certain that change would happen after what happened in newtown, connecticut. 26 lives lost, including 20 children, your son included between the ages of six and seven. Now 17 killed in florida. Is the momentum for change different right now . The momentum has been growing since sandy hook, which is incredibly encouraging, but whats different this time is that these are kids that have voices, and they know how to use them. And so far all involved were talking to are adults. The people on either side of this discussion are all talking to adults. Its the kids that are going to create this change. High school students, their voices need to be heard. They should not be modified, they shouldnt be told what to say, they should speak with authenticity into what they want, because they just experienced this and we have to do better by them. These young people, largely, people who are victimized there in parkland have now helped to galvanize a movement, which has led to a scheduled march 24 march on washington and in other cities. Theyve also helped to, you know, now plan a walkout which would be a message to congress midmarch. What are you hoping or do you hope that it will affect change that perhaps other movements or efforts have not been able to do . What i hope is that they have a lot of people supporting their efforts on the march 24 date and any other date they put forward. When we turn up in volume, what we support in numbers, thats showing our needs need to be met. What follows, though, is a very clear picture of what we need to do. We galvanize toward moochvementd theres so much fracture in terms of what are we asking congress to do so they can sit back on their heels and do nothing. I want everyone to support these students, make your voices be heard, help amplify theirs. This is their moment and we should be doing everything we can to lift them up and support them, but be very clear about what change we want as a result. What are the one to five things we can say to our congressman, do this now in order to keep us safe. Thats what we need to force them to do. Youre also trying to let them know what theyre up against because it is one thing to have a message, and it would seem like the volume is so great, the momentum is huge right now, the outrage is universal. But there are still obstacles. What would you be able to warn them about . Ive been facing obstacles for five years now, and this is a long marathon, so they need to ive already had the honor of meeting cameron k arkcasky, would love to meet some of the other students as well. They are fierce in their drive and commitment. This will take a long time, but i also just say keep going. Once die away, once the interest dies away, keep this alive. Thats the only way youll keep others interests alive is by constantly beating the drum in moving forward. What are your thoughts on the president s tweets and saying if the fbi was paying closer attention to the gunmans signals and not an election meddling, this could have been prevented . I completely agree this shooting could have been prevented. I think im struggling to find the words of how to react to that, because this is another distraction technique. A little, hey, look over here while something is going on over here, and i think just ignore all that. You cant conflate these two things. They had nothing to do with each other. Was the parkland shooting preventable . Absolutely. Does it have anything to do with russia . No. Can we just focus on whats real here, focus on that community, that school, those students and what to do to keep other students safe. And what do you hope will come from the scheduled wednesday listening session between the president and parents and students . Were not sure who is on that invite list, but what are you hoping will come from that . I hope that the students have a fair chance to voice everything that they want to say and be authentic to themselves and their mission and their message, and i hope that our president has the respect and courtesy and dignity to listen to them and really take that in and then work with his team as to what can be done better.

Reporter fred, lebron told me he is never just going to shut up and dribble, hes going to continue to speak his mind on social issues given his platform as one of the top athletes in the country. Lebron has been critical of President Trump in the past and especially on his multimedia platform uninterrupted. He said he didnt think he cared about the people and it was ingram who said lebron should just shut up and dribble and not talk about politics.
