And even in states like texas and georgia and colorado, this is no longer a third rail issue. this is an issue that the american people are demanding on. >> donald trump jr. says it goes around due process. red flag laws to be adjudicated or someone determined to be a threat, they can be delayed in acquiring a gun. >> the way it works is simply similar to a domestic violence protection. you can go in and somebody showing real signs of being a danger to themselves or others. there is a temporary ...

Partisanship and division. of course, that tweet he sent this morning belies that once he goes off the prepared script. so this is just another example of that. we saw that before and after charlottesville and other times. what happens next when it comes to policy, we still have to see. weve seen the president also express support for gun control measures. he sat in a room of lawmakers and was expressing support for gun control measures only later to come back and oppose them. we have seen in co...

I am not sure a political appetite should be our guns and principles. >> especially when we had so many years of the nra and gun laws. we have seen politicians have not been representing the will of the american people when it comes to the need of gun safety. so you know there is no political will, that could be because republicans are filling the pocket of the nra. we know majority of the americans support restrictions on large capacity and ammunition magazines and assault weapons. thats the ma...

Deal on the debt ceiling perhaps and it will involve a lot of spending. we had a major spending thing. there is so much president trump can do. one of his top goals is to put the military back together and there was just no wiggle room for him to negotiate then. especially now. if he wants to have the kind of money he wants to bring back the fighting capabilities of our military he will have to make these compromises. it means a lot of frivolous spending or the things we really need to address t...

Shameful behavior right now. theyre chanting it. >> yeah, i also think -- well, there are two things here. he is radicalizing people. its happening in realtime. were watching it happen. it shows up in the public polling data. the antecedents were there. its not like donald trump invented racism. and even his tactics if you read nixon land, the book about nixon, its a dumber, more vulgar version of nixon. >> well, actually, he broke nixons playbook, because remember, nixon was the southern strate...

That did not go down. it hasnt gone down when he was calling countries s hole countries and so he feels emboldened to continue to hammer at this message really vilifying people of color and immigrants, frankly as a good campaign message. you also have republicans who see racism as some sort of third rail that they cannot address head on for fear that there will be some backlash. you see republicans, people like senator susan collins and senator mitt romney, going all the way around to say, well,...

Thinking wow, that looks like me. wow, that story really touches me. it was just a masterful move. you have to commend kamala harris and her team for it. >> listen, my sister is a little younger than kamala harris and was bussed and a kid. that picture reminded me of my sister with a little afro bupuf. we had that happen in denver. she touched the third rail with democratic politics which is criticizing obama which is a bank shot off obama, not a straight up criticism but glancing criticism to h...

Incidences in this country. something called domestic terrorism that we really didnt speak about years back, all based a lot on race. and so he is tampering with a very dangerous third rail, and particularly as he talks about native american women as relates to his castigating the senator warren who i wont address all those surrounding issues. what i will say is that shes made her statement and all hes doing is speaking about native americans in a derogatory manner or trying to suggest that and ...

Conversation about senator warren. whats your reaction to that? >> offense, outrage, and hes walking on dangerous ground. because he already has a devastating and sick record as it relates to women in america. both denying us our access to health care, the sexual abuse in terms of his activity and behavior, and then now hes beginning to get into the territory that we even had discussions today that have generated higher acts of racial incidences in this country. something called domestic terrori...
