Attempt at testing a mental state of somebody? >> well, i think there are lots of problems with the background check system as it is. you know, because we have so many guns and theyre constitutionally protected, what we have to do is to try to identify risky people who are, you know, pose such a risk that its justified to limit their second amendment right. we are stuck right now with the rules weve had for a long time dating back to the 1968 gun control act. so that would be on the mental healt...

Take control of the state senate, then we might see some real action on gun policy. the only time that america has passed federal gun laws is 1968, 1993, and 1994. what they have in common is that democrats controlled the white house and both houses of congress. it may take that before we see really significant policy like the type that pete buttigieg and others are talking about. >> thank you. always good to have you guys. not just congress feeling the heat on guns. how the pressure to act, h...

Senate back to pass bills with republican votes that would close all of these background checks. he didnt call to end assault weapons, which is what the mayor of dayton asked him to do. when bill clinton banned the sale of assault weapons, mass shootings went down by 43%. when george w. bush and republicans allowed that band to expire, mass shootings went up 230%. the last point here, he points to video games and mental illness. the fact is every country in the world hasnt video games and people...

Candidates seeking to replace donald trump in next years elections. this must now be the opposition partys prime objective, beating him at the polls. to continue to focus on impeachment going into the fall would be giving the numbers the calendar, and again, the lack of a committed leader will now cute not only a distraction, but even worse, a delusion. i remember when the great walter cronkite told you and me in 1968 that the war in vietnam wasnt winnable. on a different plane, this is somethin...

Than george wallace was in his 1968 or 1972 campaigns where wallace would talk about pointy headed pubureaucrats and you ha trump attacking people of color and telling them to go back to where they came from. >> yeah. i am less comforted than you maybe that this is not going to be effective. i actually think it will be effective for the following reason. i think if we step back and you think about what are some of the big themes that -- about thats going on in this country that you talk about on...

>> i think the real problem with that is when you are in post-trump world, which hopefully is sooner than later but when hes no longer there and you try to rebuild the party, youre going to have to show you can bring in people of color and women and others. i think will hurd would have been in a great position by then having stayed to be part of that appeal. i remember when i was growing up in 1968, i was just a kid just starting in activism. i might have been 14, 15. i remember the leading guy ...

Of the country. for the first time, theres a new generation of people demanding a reckoning for the centuries of white supremacy they felt oppressed by. when you have a candidate come along who cannot acknowledge that, cannot speak to that, wants to kind of excuse people for voting that make them feel its okay you did that, we want to welcome you back, those people are more woke than nostalgic for the obama era and want you to go hard or go home, those are the base. they actually outnumber the p...

1968, 1972, and 1976, he ran three times. when he went nash, he wasnt nearly as racist as trump in his rhetoric because he realized pooh -- >> there was no twitter then. or 24 hour news networks. >> there was embarrassing. there are a lot of white people if this mans awful racism can are put in their face, they will be embarrassed by it. >> theres two things about this. a lot of this is rhetorical and thats the failing of biden or the other people. when we were talking about the attack on the sq...

Feelings. mr. trump obviously owns that brand. hes proud of it. hes not ashamed of it. he doesnt know what shame means. im old enough to remember, you probably are not. the last time a major presidential candidate ran on an overtly racist platform was george wallace back in 1968. i thought we somehow as a nation had grown and repudiated it, but now we see mr. trump and his minions have legitimatized race hatred as a means of gaining political power and influence. which, by the way, is not a real...
