County right here. he has been moved to the butler county prison, which is another county. it is the adjoining county. it is about 25 miles away, but it is not a local jail. it is a prison. i have been in touch with the prison asking them why was he moved. they will not say and they will not say if he is in protective custo custody. common sense says he must be. obviously there is a reason for him to be moved out of this country from a jail to a prison. poppy? >> okay. appreciate the reporting o...

Areas where trump is still strong. while emphasizing these issues which have the potential to help republicans in rural areas but deepen the problems theyre facing among the white collar suburbanites recoiling from trump, i think the white house is implicitly acknowledging that the house is essentially gone and theyre trying to limit the extent of the losses and protect themselves and maximize their opportunities in the senate where theyre competing largely in these rural, you know, heavily whit...

But there wasnt a ceremony, he didnt make a statement. he put out a written statement, but very unlike the way that we see presidents do it in the modern era, which is so closer, so much closer to the way that ronald reagan reacted to the challenger disaster in 1986 by giving that memorable speech from the oval office. >> bill clinton, i was covering him -- >> absolutely. >> when he went to give the teddy bear service, as it was known forever, after the oklahoma city bombing. these are moments w...

John kennedy was a naval man, but there wasnt a ceremony, he didnt make a statement. he put out a written statement, but very unlike the way that we see presidents do it in the modern era, which is so closer, so much closer to the way that ronald reagan reacted to the challenger disaster in 1986 by giving that memorable speech from the oval office. >> bill clinton, i was covering him -- >> absolutely. >> when he went to give the teddy bear service, as it was known forever, after the oklahoma cit...

Dead quickly and that he shouldnt have inserted himself into this. but he is the president of the united states, and some said, you know, he should be welcome in this community, as david shribman was talking about earlier. what were watching for is a president who has been unable to be empathetic and a consoler and play the pastoral role that presidents are very often required to play. >> there they are. >> and here he is with melania. so well just -- you know, its a very, very somber moment. no...

President goes to pittsburgh and to squirrel hill just as the first three cvictims are buried? >> thats a good question. there have been a few moments, but theyre few in this presidency where you see donald trump embrace that consoler in chief kind of role. for the most part, thats not a natural part of the job for him. you know, as john was just saying, hes in this campaign road right now and doubling down on the fights to go and try and be consoler in chief where its not his natural tendency i...

They come to these moments. they are criticized if they dont come. i think the president will put his head down. he and his wife and daughter and son-in-law will visit with whoever wants him to visit. then they will leave. thats what they should do. you know, politics aside. this is not time for politics. >> well, it hasnt -- a lot of moments in our time which is not a moment for politics. julian, she talks about the moment. these moments show a lot about a president and leader. how is the presi...

I think 11 stops in total. a white house official saying today the optics of visiting pittsburgh on the same day as a campaign rally were not viewed as ideal. >> well, hes already held rallies after the shooting. and seems to be completely heartless to the suffering there. this obviously is not a partisan thing. we do want our president to be a healer and a consoler. but the way he has conducted himself has really -- as we saw in miguels report, its increased the pain of that heartbroken communi...

>> is he right? we can be better than this all around, that he got messages of hate for welcoming the president today? >> yes, i believe we can all do better in america. now, the president does have a unique role. hes a leader of the free world of our country, and donald trump has three main jobs. to keep us safe, to make us feel safe, and to unify our nation. hes largely failed at all of those, but it doesnt mean he cant reverse himself and try to heal our nation. i hope he tries to do that tod...

The rabbi of the synagogue where this massacre took place says, look, hes my president, americas president. hes welcome any time, and democratic congressman ted lieu, often a harsh critic of the president told me, look, the president can go wherever he wants, but i hope he brings a message of unity. should the president be going right now? >> well, i do think the president should go to pittsburgh. im not clear that this is the best time because im not sure what kind of a venue hes speaking at to...
