No, please, please, oh shrieks in terror heavy breathing and snorting no, no. The running of the bulldogs . Surprising. Whats not surprising . How much money aleia saved by switching to geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. Welcome to the second hour of 360. At the end of a truly remarkable day, children acting like adults and adults acting like children. On the table tonight, students gunning for change, not children but young adults, push for gun control as their classmates go
on. We have more with the effect its having on how the president actually governs. Jeff zeleny joins us from the white house. Jeff, this was the first shooti White House Briefing since the shooting. It was the first briefing and it was not long enough to answer the questions hanging over us tonight. Remember the tweet the president made over the weekend for blaming the fbi for missing the Warning Signs in florida. Sarah sanders tried walking that back. She said, look, this was the act of a deranged individual, in her words, and she said the president essentially didnt mean that. But she went on to say that the fbis attention on what she called a hoax, the russian collusion situation, has dominated their time. But then she went on to say in
greater words than the president has that russia did, indeed, meddle in the election. But it was a split screen conversation, still talking about guns as well. And thats what the president addressed from the East Room Of The White House shortly after the White House Press briefing. Lets watch. A few moments ago, i signed a memorandum directing the Attorney General to propose regulations to ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns. So we heard the president there really somewhat of a surprise. The white house had not telegraphed that. This has been coming since the Las Vegas Shooting back in september. They had not talked about this much at all since then. Clearly the white house wanting to be part of this conversation on guns. You heard the president there signing a directive. Unclear exactly, though, what that will do. Were not talking about new laws here, just existing laws, anderson. The president is weighing in again tonight on twitter about Background Checks. Whats he saying . He is, indeed. Another sign the president has as we were talking about over the weekend and yesterday, has been effectively, at least, paying attention closely to that florida shooting. He was talking about how its everyones responsibility here to do something on guns. This is what he said a short time ago on social media. He said this whether you are a republican or democrat, we must now focus on strengthening Background Checks. This sounds a little bit like the donald trump of yesterday when he was for strong Background Checks before he was running for president. Do you remember when he was thinking about running as a Reform Party Candidate . He was for gun control. All that fof that changed in 20n he was being supported by the nra. Certainly the president wants to be engaged this this conversation on guns. Less clear if he will actually
lead his party to something here. The house and the senate are out this week, so the president is sort of alone in these conversations. But keep an eye on that, because advisers say they have even been surprised by how interested he seems in doing something on this. Again tomorrow here hell be talking to some students at the white house, some other School Leaders as well. So the new person in this equation is the president. Well see if he leads on this, anderson. As the president at least alluded to tonight, preventing another mass shooting is their responsibility. They went to parkland, some through tears, as they banned them from the high school. Are you on a bus there . Yeah, were on a bus. Were about an hour away. When you heard them not support a bill to ban Assault Rifles and highcaliber magazines, i wonder what you thought . There is a long battle ahead of you. To be honest, were all super pissed about that and dont think were not gloing to addres it tomorrow. I hear it was an overwhelming vote not to proceed on this. I dont know how thats possible considering this happened in their own state, and there are kids that are dead from their own state, along with kids that were there from our school, and they just they dont care. Governor rick scott, obviously the governor of the floor, held what he called an Emergency Meeting tonight to find solutions to protect students and said that he would
put forth a gun proposal policy on friday to, quote, move the needle forward. Do you buy that . Does that give you any kind of hope . Ill have hope from the governor when i hear it myself and when he actually takes some action on it. Because he may have an aplus rating from the nra but he does not have an aplus rating from us. The vote was 3671 today in the state house. On a national level, the president announced a plan to move towards banning bump stocks, which is something that was talked a lot about after las vegas and then sort of disappeared. Is that a big enough step forward, in your mind . No. They should have banned bump stocks a long time ago, and that wouldnt have prevented anyone from my school dying. If you had the chance to introduce your own bill, what would be in it . Have you thought that far ahead . You . Definitely. Ive always been an activist for gun reform but never to this extent. I was one of the people that would kind of forget about a mass shooting after it happened, which is awful, because you dont really get how it feels until it happens to you. But were going to make sure that nobody forgets. We talked to david hoge in the last hour, and some people have been writing about him, some conspiracy websites, some far right websites suggesting maybe he was a crisis actor, which is obviously a ludicrous notion, hes obviously a student from the school saying his dad who had been formerly with the fbi may have put him up to it. When you hear comments like this that come out of the wake of a school shooting, does it scare you . Does it anger you . Does it diminish your desire to be involved . Honestly, i think the reason people are saying those things is theyre in disbelief and
your finger in the eye of the people who you didnt like before, anyway. This is a breakdown that can hopefully lead to a breakthrough. Those young people are extraordinary. Ive been Hearing Marketers talk about this high school generation. They are very different than the college students. Theres something happening with these young people. Those young people are better spoken than most of us On Television. Theyve never been On Television before. So if theres any hope in the country, its in this generation thats rising. I just want to say to stand over the bodies of children and poke your finger in the eye of your a adversary is as low as you can possibly go in public life, and its a shame the president did that but im proud of these young people. The thing thats bad about that tweet, not only is it factually incorrect, but he takes this platform to once
left wing help. Ive been to many, many high schools all around georgia talking to children, and i think when theyre in an emotional state and they deserve to be heard, they deserve to be listened to, and i expressed that on the show also that i believe theyre sincere. This is a horrible tragedy. Their hearts are broken. But also know that the state senator from there is facilitating their bus trip up to tallahassee which, when i was in the general assembly, was illegal to do Something Like that, to pay for somebody to lobby. The Democrat Party there is doing it. You think they are being hijacked by left wing politics . I was talking about the left rally. It would shock me if 17yearolds around the country and i agree with you, van, very articulate, very sincere. But it would shock me if they did a nationwide rally and the
pro gun control left took their hands off. Why does it even matter . Let me just ask the question. If there is a group of people who are supporting of what they want to do, what would be wrong with them working with them if they have some knowledge about how to get their message out . What youre suggesting is somehow theyve been used like some people went in and told them what to say. Which, by wathe way, there a these allegations which is just ridiculo ridiculous. I did not say that and did not say that today. I said their hearts are broken and they are sincere, ill say that. But i can say this. As rahm emanuel famously said, dont waste a good crisis. Come on, jack. Theyre trying to enter into politics, theyre trying to change the debate that is a political debate. You cannot criticize high school
us, but i dont think were using the kids. Heres the thing, its not fair to you youre sprinkling out there that maybe these kids are illegitimate and thats wrong. Those words did not come out of my mouth. Were supporting these kids here and around the country. Later the president has claimed that hes done more with russia than president obama did in eight years.

were talking about students taking action in the wake of the parkland tragedy. Jack is outnumbered on this panel but hes in the majority in the United States congress, in the State Legislature of florida, in the State Legislature of most states. Gun rights are the defining issue of the Republican Party today. More than immigration, more than abortion, they are going to do nothing. They are going to do nothing regardless of what these young people demand, because this is the issue that unites the Republican Party. Donald trump used to be for gun control, but today maybe well do something about bump stocks some year. This is an issue that unites the Republican Party against any sort of regulation. You know, for ten years in this country, guns just like this, ar16s ar15. Ar15 were illegal. We still had george bush under this, but in the Second Amendment we have access to guns like this. Thats exactly what happened in 2004 after the brady bill expired, and thats the kind of country we ever now because republican legislator was want that way. To jacks point, is it wrong that a group of students have been very vocal and very is wellspoken are contacted by Gun Control Groups and who want to help sponsor a rally . Is there anything wrong with that . Of course not. Jack is out there being tainted by the political parties, people who can actually organize and help them move legislation. Cpac is this big conservative meeting happening in washington this week or next week. Do you know how many kids are bussed in from around the country to join cpac and to talk
about let me repeat this. Theyre not under duress of a horrible lifechanging tragedy, and i would say for those kids, you got to give them a little space. Their parents are fine with them being involved, and frankly, being involved helps them move into grief and try to turn grief into something positive, who are we to say how they should grieve . Should they stay home and grieve and thats the only way to grieve . Let me say again as i said this morning, i dont doubt their sincerity. Their hearts are broken, i understand that. But i also think that sometimes when somebody goes through that that you dont want to inject politics into it immediately. Let me give you a couple let me say this. This is a mass shooting. There is a shooting every few
months. Just pretend were talking about guns in the wake of the Las Vegas Shooting. Did that happen long enough ago that we can talk about gun policy . Because if you have this rule were not allowed to talk about gun control whats the time, 30 days, 60 days, 100 days . The Republican House in december passed a Bill Sponsored By richard hudson. The mans 180day review to look at bump stocks and get rid of them if necessary. It also had to do with a Background Check which corwin and murphy are talking about in the senate. I want to say this because i know gun control debates fairly well having gone through many of them, but the democrats, jeffrey, had the opportunity to reinstate the Assault Weapons ban, and theyre not really Assault Weapons, not according to the u. S. Army. Theyre weapons that look like they are semiautomatic. That might be a technical term. But why did the democrats should they have . I would say they should have if thats the belief of their party. Should they have . No. Then what difference does it make . Im saying they didnt have the opportunity lets not talk over each other. Van, what did you have to say . We have the Great Recession of two wars. Everything you guys criticize us not doing in the 18 months we had to control the government of all the things we could sit here and argue all day long, but one of the most compelling things i heard from one of these students was, you werent there. You dont know what it felt like. You werent hiding under a desk or in the closet, you dont know what it felt like. If this helps them in their grieving process, let them get on a bus or train and go to tallahassee. Jack, have you ever been to a prolife rally . Yes. Have you ever heard a young person get up there and talk
about abortion, somebody who recently has been affected by it, maybe because she had a classmate who had an abortion . No. You never heard a young person in the prolife activist movement. No, i havent. Youve never heard young people being involved in the Prolife Movement . Thats not what you asked me. You asked me if i heard a young person talk about the abortion movement. Come on, youre involved in politics. We have to take another break. Were going to take a break and continue talking during the commercial break, apparently. Well be right back.
