Hes just talking about broad language the president wants to do something. he said he wants to do background checks, but he hasnt said anything about bringing the support back in. if the senate were to pass the president could sign and have an accomplishment on background checks. it does seem like hes sort of trying to dial back what he means by background checks. you have to sort of duck into the details to find out whether or not he wants to do something that would make a difference or have an...

>> anthony -- >> so youve got a combination of things now. go ahead. >> i was going to say, so the one intervening event over the weekend was you had a twitter exchange with the president where he criticized you directly. all the other stuff is stuff weve seen from president trump for years at this point from when he was before president. so what changed exactly over the last two days? >> okay. so you and alisyn have often asked me that and people say, okay, wheres the red line where you break f...

From heartache. now, the charlottesville police department, we spoke to them, say they have updated hate crime data. they tried to do so in april 2019, april of this year. that incident is finally reflected in the state data but you will likely never see it in the data that we all see that is published by the fbi, those annual reports that so many people rely on to get the exact number of hate crimes in this country. it is, for lack of a better word, a mess. >> yes, it is. thank you. newsroom wi...
