Both sides of the political aisle here. turn the heat down just a little bit. the president came over to my side of the rope line and i asked the president if he agreed with senator cruz that both sides need to tone it down. president trump: i do agree. i think we have toned it down. we ve been getting hit left and right from everybody. many of the people i don t know, a couple of people from texas, political people from texas that aren t doing very well. i guess somebody said the mayor. i had one very nice conversation with the mayor of dayton. could not have been nicer. and then she goes and says i tried to call her. i spoke to her and i didn t receive any call. they re trying to make political points. on capitol hill the house has already passed legislation that would close a lot of the loopholes and enhance background checks for gun purchases. there are now bipartisan calls. chuck schumer and congressman peter king of new york getting together to say to mitch
More americans by far have been killed by extreme nationalists, terrorists in this country since 9/11 than killed by the kind of islamic extremism that we have reconfigured our government to fight. people are start to go sing to , this is a serious problem and we need to think about it systematically. mike turner represents dayton, by the way, now says he supports what he describes as preventing military style weapon sales to civilians, magazine limits, and red flag legislation. another one of your republican colleagues, peter king of new york, supports hr-8, the background check bill, you passed in the house and has been sitting in the senate right now. so do you see any real opportunity here for change? wolf, if i can amend what i was saying earlier.
Had in mind. sean: okay. now senator ted cruz said the question is common sense. take a look. first of all, do you want to see the question on the census? absolutely. this is just common sense. the constitution gives to the federal government the responsibility to do a census every ten years. the census needs to be an accurate count. it needs to count the people who are in this country, and foree virtually every census for over a century, it has included a question, are you a citizen or not? sean: meanwhile, the attorney general bill barr says he has found a way to legally ask about it on the census. complicating matters, the doj cannot change its legal team in the census case. total mess. you joining us now is peter king of new york and american conservative union chair matt
People, certain people, are counted. it s really disgraceful. and it s not what our founders had in mind. sean: okay. now senator ted cruz said the question is common sense. take a look. first of all, do you want to see the question on the census? absolutely. this is just common sense. the constitution gives to the federal government the responsibility do you do a census every ten years. the senses needs to be an accurate count. he needs to count the people who are in this country, and for virtually every census for over a century, it has included a question, are you a citizen or not? sean: meanwhile, the attorney general bill barr says he has found a way to legally ask about it on the senses. propagating matters, the doj cannot change legal team in the census matter for a total mess. you joining us now as peter king of new york an american conservative union chair mat
Record. i think i agree with him on that. that didn t go over too well with some members of the president s own party, though most lacked the courage to speak up. republican congressman peter king of new york did write, quote, wrong for trump to criticize joe biden in japan and agree with kim jong-un. politics stops at the water s edge. never right to side with murderous dictator versus fellow american. biden s campaign waited until trump was in the country to issue the statement president s comments are beneath the dignity of the office. to be on foreign soil on memorial day and to side repeatedly with a murderous dictator against a fellow american speaks for itself. it s part of a pattern of em bratsing autocrats at the expense of our institutions whether taking putin s word at face value in helsinki or exchanging love letters with kim jong-un. trump fired back with this. we quote again. i was actually sticking up for sleepy joe biden while on foreign soil.
