and i think you called it the world s most expensive and least representative focus group? pretty much. and look, a serious conversation about gun violence and about how we balance constitutional rights and public safety is really in order. but i don t think that the folks that are paying $200,000 a pop to be members of donald trump s palm beach golf and country club are really the folks you want to be asking specific questions about how we deploy a sort of policy direction in this country to handle this situation, handle this problem. it just seems a little bit the common trump problem. he always listens to the last person in the room. so i just it s one of those things that demonstrates how out of touch this man is. one of the last people he spoke to, fox news heir recalled dough rivera what could go wrong? he s convinced the president
assault weapons ban, no purchase under age 21. so the country has been debating gun control bills for decades. will trump really make these changes? is he going to be the one to get it done? yeah, first of all, to say that he s this is some kind of focus group is an attack on the president. what this tells you is this is top of mind for him. if he wasn t asking anyone advice you would be criticizing him for saying, why isn t the president asking people about this? this is where he was this weekend, it s clearly the top of his mind that the people he sees, this is one of the first things he s asking about. it s not the only people he s talking to about this, he s seeking advice on it. he wants a path forward. he heard the kids from the school say, do something. he wants to do something. he has said that he wants to look at john cornyn s bill in the senate to improve national background checks, that s a good step. look, i think that we have to be the children of that school deserv
brain of his, that lizard brain thing of it s always about the ratings, it s always about whose score is higher, et cetera. this was a very odd moment. then again, that whole series of tweets this weekend, it didn t seem like a coherent political strategy, but more like a cry for help. fighting against oprah is just one of those things that i just no president in history has ever done anything even comparable to that. okay. just bizarre. that s got to be the last word, thank you all. the box office hit that could be a game changer for hollywood. i m going to talk about black panther, the creator of oscars so white joins me next. i ll ask her if she thinks the movie will make a difference. you won t see these folks at the post office
those darn things called convenient politics. so i ll ask you what changed. so the president also tweeting out about president obama and about oprah winfrey. he said basically that oprah winfrey was insecure, he saw an interview with her and that, what did he say, he said very insecure oprah, who at one point i knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 minutes, the questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. i hope oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all the others. is he upset because oprah s probably richer than him in real life? i don t know what s going on. why is this happening? why is he going against oprah, rick? you know, it s one of those things, don t start a land war in asia, and don t scrap with oprah over being a celebrity. this is one of the most famous people in the world, arguably more famous than donald trump. i think in that weird celebrity
a whole bunch of new regulations were put in place to prevent people from misusing financing, campaign finance. it was campaign finance reform, it was an effort to prevent companies from buying presidents. that s because up to that point, people didn t feel they had to do this. but they saw what nixon did. and they said, we ve got to reform the system. no one ever thought there would be a president who would maintain a business while being president. most of our presidents have they re not businessmen. so there never was this situation that could arise. what s amazing is that trump is testing the american people s stomach for this kind of behavior. and so far, the american people have let him get away with it. he s said to all of us, there s no conflict of interest for president, and people bought it. that s the problem. there was a time this would have been viewed as corruption. now americans seem to accept it. is this just the trump family way of doing business? the lines were su
