President trump. he ought to stand up and do the right thing and turn the country around. >> im out of too im. so in ten seconds or less, is there any chance "a," he stands up and says im sorry? or "b," might this be after everything weve seen in the years the moment where some kind of deal could be struck? >> i dont think me president has it in him to what terrterry talking about. but he has the ability to direct a national conversation, to talk about the issue of guns. to talk about hate, whit...

Begin the work of healing for our community. its going to take some time. >> its going to take some time. i know you said before, there will be hugging, praying, a range of emotion. there will be calls for change and action. we heard some of that last night at the vigil. of course the governor interrupted by chance of "do something." two-part question. what are you hearing from people in your community? they are looking to you as their leader. what do they want to see done? >> i think in dayton,...

Way hes going about it with this sort of rhetoric and this sort of nastiness doesnt make sense. if he makes a speech today and says, look. the republicans we all know theyre basically a bunch of scaredy cats. and since i totally control them, heres what were going to do. were going to pass background check legislation. were going to increase the opportunity for red flag laws and things like that. theyll sign that. hell get democrats to come over and get that thing done. and now thats more of a m...

All of these mass shootings, the one in texas, the one here, a lot of people think oh this wont happen to me. this didnt happen to me. and it will happen to you. and i would love for them just to get ahold of it. i mean, you know, i understand its a money making business, but at what cost? family members are hurting. from their loved ones because someone is angry. and then theyre able to get hold of a gun and just mow people down. and its just unfortunate and its sad. and i wish they would do so...

Anger and the hurt and the shock after the oklahoma city bombing. but this is a different kind of leader who doesnt want to go big. and the great danger in this moment is that you yet again fail to get beyond the kind of template of our culture, our broadcast cable and social media culture that divides so many people. and to go big. to call the threat what it is. to call the problem what it is. and to mobilize the government and the people of the country to do something big. again, i dont think ...

Because i think its so important. on the issue of guns, the president suggested linking background check measures to immigration measures. is that something as a democratic vote in the senate you would consider? >> its absurd. again, this is part of the problem. hes linking the issue of basic common sense gun reform that we should be going back into the senate today to vote on with this issue of immigration. because again, he continues to try to demonize people seeking asylum, people needing our...

Would be no need to use this sort of rhetoric. we should see what happens in the speech -- hes basically an emperor without clothing right now. and what terry mccaauliffe said right now is true. he could get something done on gun control laws. >> you have a different position than the president has on guns and the republican party has and youve held that position for a long time. well come to that. but on the language, it was interesting. you were describing the threat that language can pose. th...

>> john, well send it back to you now. well see if lawmakers do listen to donna, to so many others calling for action this morning and frankly who have been for some time. >> her words, so simple, so poignant, so direct, and so true, erica. they can do something about this. so what is the question this morning? joining me now is andrew gillum, terry mccaauliffcauliffe, and d gregory. david, i want to start with you. we are expecting to hear from the president in a couple of hours. there are two ...

Again, hallie, i asked him what about the senate yes, you voted for background checks, what about the senate and mitch mcconnell? his answer to me was we did our job in the house, the senate, its up to them to do their job. what weve seen over and over again is consistent here. the republicans not wanting to draw a straight line from the presidents rhetoric to what happened. very different than the feeling i got in the crowd and talking to the folks here. many of them, who describe this walmart ...

And please dont let him do anything to my daughter. >> of the people that miraculously made it out of that we do know a little bit of good news this morning, at least six people have been discharged from the hospital. that includes two children, ages 2 and 9 years old. but there are a lot of people, hallie, who are still not out of the woods just jet. between here and dell sole, the other hospital a few miles away there are at least eight people in critical condition, in and out of surgery, stil...
