[video clip] trump hillary wants to abolish the Second Amendment. The way, she gets to pick if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment is imaybe there dont know. Host several statements come including one from the Clinton Campaign. What trump is saying is dangerous, a person seeking to be the president of United States should not suggest violence in any way. Mr. Trump appearing on the handy program on the fox news network, clarifying what he said that hannity appearing on the hannity program. [video clip] trump hillary wants to take your guns away, she wants to leave you unprotected in your home this is a huge political movement. The nra endorsed me. They are terrific people. Saidagree 100 with what i. There is a tremendous power behind the Second Amendment. It is a political power. There are a few things so powerful in terms of politics. I happen to think, if they did bring this up, i think it is good for me because it will tell people more about me with respect to the Second Amendment. Hillary clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment. The highlights from those statements in the Washington Post. Those are the interpretations out there. We want to get a sense from you on how you interpreted those statements. Republicans can call 2027488001. Or democrats, 2027488000 independents, 2027488002. Jim in michigan. Democrats line. Caller i listened to it very carefully and there was something i heard that i hope everyone else heard as well. If she isll, he said selecting candidates for the Supreme Court, there would be nothing theres nothing you can do about it. Maybe the Second Amendment people can do something about it. He was not talking about the election. He was talking about the selection of Supreme Court candidates. That is after she is elected. A person sitting right behind him if you see the footage, you will see what im talking about turned to the person beside him and said, wow. Got right away what he said. I knew he was talking about after the election. That is the key to this whole thing. Vote,ot that he is saying because she will have already been elected. That is what scared me. I cannot believe the statement was being made that way. Host buck from alabama. Independent line. Good morning. Go ahead. Caller good morning to cspan. As an independent voter i dont plan to support either candidate. I am seeing a great fabrication in this matter. Nothing frightens me more than who Hillary Clinton might put on the Supreme Court. To fabricate a story we know trump cannot get out of his own way. Stop fabricating everything the man says. Host what makes it a fabrication . Caller the fact that they know how trump is. To put things out here in black and white media roger in houston, texas. Independent line. Caller good morning. Thank you for cspan. But notice i watched the entire speech before washington journal came on the air. I saw the whole thing in context at that part what i find ironic trump seems like he immediately try to walk it back. Afterorth noting that donald trump said the things he said about mexicans, that the drug lord ended up putting it up and contract on donald trump putting up an open contract on donald trump. I think he was trying to hide behind that dynamic. This,eone else had said if i had said this, it you had said this, we would be getting a visit from the secret service. Someone trying to be the president of the United States, it is very dangerous for someone to have that to represent our country. I disagree with trump on most things. Just dangerous and anyone who would try to make an apology for this type of , it is a frightening narrative of where we are in this country that we are basing our decisions to vote out of fear and that is what led us to things like the patriot act. We need to take into consideration, this is not a man who is to be president. Fit to be president. To have him represent our country would be our undoing. Voting him would be a decision fear. Her a speech by a democrat from california calling on the secret service to investigate donald trump for seemingly joking that Hillary Clinton should be shot. The tweet says how you interpreted those statements made by donald trump yesterday is our topic this morning. For republicans. 2027488000 for democrats. For independents, 2027488002. Tim on the republican line. Amazing,t is just anything the man says i have not decided who im going to vote for, but it will definitely not be hillary. Everything this man says come everyone jumps on him. He joked before about stuff. Come on. Votes. Just to get more all of this is part of what he does to get ahead. If people cannot see that, they need to really think about it. Thosespeaker ryan made statements after winning his primary. Talked about winning, made references to the comments. [video clip] paul ryan i heard about the Second Amendment quote. It sounds like a joke gone bad. I hope he clears it up very quickly. You should never joke about Something Like that. I did not hear the comments, i only heard about the comments. Pence ticket is one that will put good justices on the Supreme Court. Host john in akron, ohio. Good morning. Heard so much from trump to me, its another thing hes saying. He should not be saying stuff like that. Could you imagine if it was hillary . She would be kicked out. Take his comments to be any type of veiled threat at all . Bad guys out of there hearing that stuff, things can happen. I dont think either one of them should be president. Now, she wants bill clinton to help her run the country and i cannot stand that guy. Vote,m not going to period. I dont want either one of these two people running our country. Host mac in harrisburg, pennsylvania. Our line for independents. Isler donald trump supremely unqualified to be president of the United States of america. I am a disabled veteran. With hishobnobbing Campaign Managers with the russian oligarchs who are surrogates for putin, that is extremely dangerous. If she selects Supreme Court justices they do not approve of, the Second Amendment people have the power to stop that . This is not the banana republic. His comments about being the original birther and rigged elections this man has no understanding of the United States constitution. Host don in lovington, illinois. Public in line. Thats republican line. Caller he wasnt threatening nobody or nothing like that. He evidently knows the constitution, thats what the constitution put that Second Amendment in there for. If the government goes bad, the countryan take their back. This man is wanting to help the people. If somebody dont vote, that is a vote for hillary. That is a sad, sad way to represent people that has died for us so we have the freedom that we have. They all need to go back and read the constitution and understand what that segment is Second Amendment is all about, so we can take our country back the government is stupid, completely bad. Host democrats line. Caller good morning. All the inflammatory statements de aside if you hear the full comment that he made come at the end, he says although, that would be horrible. If he wasnt talking about violence, what does horrible mean . Of course he is inciting violence. There was a man punched at one of his rallies there is a segment of the population out there that response to this kind of stuff. It was a threat to ms. Hillary clinton. Analysis in the New York Times this morning. References to gun violence have tripped up candidates before. Democrats line. Darrell, you are up next. Caller hello . Host darrell from missouri, go ahead. Caller excuse me . Host we move on to gutierrez in North Carolina. Caller i am for the Second Amendment, but youve got weapons out here that have extended clips, 50 rounds, 60 that i dont think the Founding Fathers intended for people having weapons of mass destruction on the streets. Societyns of war in the , meant to go out here and kill a bunch of people. What donald trump said about hillary, that is kind of dangerous. Inciting violence it happened before at his rallies. Amendment,e second , too many weapons with the capability of committing mass murder. Host carol is up next in missouri barrel is up next in darrell is up nexte in missouri. Caller we have seen for the last two or three weeks that Hillary Clinton lied about the emails, then after komi came on and said she lied, she continued to live for a week after that. Ey came on and said she lied, she continued to lie for a week after that. I know how donald trump is. But hillary lies all the time and you havent said anything. Michael in washington. Republican line. Caller this is a nonissue. Donald trump did not say nothing that anyone would have assumed that he actually was going to have someone out to go out to go lets kill her. Lets talk about the body count of Hillary Clinton. How did you interpret s statements . Tatement caller its not open to interpretation. That is the problem today. severything is up for interpretation. He said what he said. He was talking about a voting block. Come on, people. This is ridiculous. Host you dont think those statements lead to some type of analysis . Interpretation lets interpret anything anyone says as a violent statement. We could take millions of statements that hillary has made in the past as violent. Host des moines, iowa. Independent line. I agree 100 with this gentleman that just got through talking. Im sick and tired of the news people trump cannot say anything. If you dont like trump, dont vote for him, simple as that. Rallies g his disrupting his rallies and on Hillary Clinton gets by with everything. Nobody in the news wants to talk about her problems, what she says, what she does. No, its just donald trump. They cannot stand donald trump. Well, i like him. How did you take his batem statement yesterday . Caller he wasnt even talking about shooting Hillary Clinton, for crying out loud. I agree, he was talking about the Second Amendment. We have our rights, too. That doesnt mean just guns, for crying out loud. Im upset and tired of this. Today looks at an analysis piece talking about both campaigns highlighting and donaldnton. Rumps statements mateen satof omar as sheehind mrs. Clinton remembered the violence of the pulse nightclub shooting and laid out her platform. Jim in new york. Republican line. Caller belated happy birthday. Hip, does shoot from the but i think its totally unfair that he is getting this much scrutiny for Something Like this. I think it is ridiculous i hope you maybe consider bringing out the story of mr. Rich who was murdered in the string of bodies this other gentleman talked about. That seems to be more of a new story than this just trying to twist some words. Hes not a politician. He is just an outsider thats come in. He will make some stupid statements. To try to say that he is stirring up violence against hillary is ridiculous. Greg in michigan. Independent line. Caller happy belated birthday. Not threatening assassination to hillary. What he was implying and could happen is if hillary got her way and did do away with Second Amendment rights, a lot of us will object to that very strongly. Since we have firearms, it might be as having to defend our ushts with those guns having to defend our rights with those guns. He said right afterwards that would be a horrible thing to happen. Hillary has stated how she would love to have gun confiscation in this country. And she probably would. Magazine capacity ban, it is the person doing it, not the gun itself. Guns were bad in everybodys hands, think of what the body count would be. Anytime a being created in gods image is killed, but if every gun makes a bad person, there would be many more dead bodies and that is not the case. That is greg in michigan. The nra putting out a tweet those statements made in North Carolina, how did you interpret them . 2027488001 for republicans. 2027488000 for democrats. For independents, 2027488002. Against Hillary Clinton filed by the parents of those killed in benghazi. It goes on to fault mrs. Clintons use of a private email server. Another story stemming off of email this morning, this from a group of judicial watch. Of wall street journal this morning. There is more to that story in the wall street journal this morning. Huntington beach, california. Go ahead. Caller why shouldnt people take donald trump at his word . What he said sounded pretty clear enough if it was a joke, it should not have been. Aid because that is no joke d you cannot have it both ways. People say they like donald hemp because he says what means and then he has to come out and explain this is in the media commit this is what he is saying. Media, thisot the is what he is saying. Host you take it for face value, then . Caller take it for face value. Why wouldnt i . This guy is 70 years old, hes been in the Business World with all kinds of people. Of course he says what he means. That he cann a way write off as a joke, but hes not joking all these people did you see them take him seriously. Ways. Nt have it both host jerome is up next from erie, pennsylvania. My assumption is he did mean what we think he meant by hey, go ahead and take her out all it takes is one person to interpret it that way. Donald trump has a lot of sick people following him. Person toes is one interpret that as go assassinate Hillary Clinton and then you have that problem. All these republicans and independents calling and saying he doesnt mean that all it takes is one. You think hekes meant exactly that . Making anen you start interpretation that, hey, the Second Amendment people can take care of this, that would be a horrible thing yes, it would be a horrible thing, because we know how he wants them to interpret that. A cancerick man come to this country and people need to start realizing that. Lupe in california. Independent line. I am a republican. Itust wanted to say that seems like everything donald trump says is always twisted around to make him look bad. If people would just listen to , we can get our country back again. Host how did you receive what he said yesterday . How did you interpret that . He didnt say he was he just said something everybody twisted around. Host you think that is the case . Caller yes. Host chicago, indiana. This is alan on the democrats line. Caller thank you for taking my call. They keep or cspan. First, about the Second Amendment, i wish people would read it. Its as people of a wellregulated state militia have a right to bear arms. It says nothing about individuals or self protection. It is only for state regulated militia, not for people to run out and decide to take over the government. Remember when congressman Gabby Giffords was shot in arizona by an enraged individual . Sarah palin had a website of where she was making comments and how theections democrats needed to be defeated. We need to load up an aim on those areas and she had a bullseye on places that had elections and one of those was in arizona. Extremely unstable people in this country and a lot of them have guns. I interpreted him as giving some individuals the message that the only way to stop Hillary Clinton is to assassinate her. He gave that idea to somebody and that is donald trump. He will say outrageous things like that. You will have some extreme individuals in this country that will take him at his word, im sorry to say host. T russ on twitter says wild and wonderful says go to our facebook page, you can have more characters to put more thoughts. 2027488001 for republicans. Democrats, 2027488000. Independents, 2027488002. We are getting your thoughts, how you interpreted those statements made by donald trump yesterday. Andrew from michigan up next. Republican line. The Second Amendment i just want to address the comments lers the purpose of the Second Amendment was of the people of this country would always have the means to defeat tyranny. Instead of just reading the constitution, maybe take a look at the federalist papers or the articles of confederation. Donald trumps comments should be taken at face value. To keep and bear arms got to a place where it was infringed and our government was resorting to tyranny, the people of this country would have a duty to take back the power from tyrants. It would be a horrible situation, but it would be a righteous cause. You saw his statement as allowing violence in some cases . Caller no, i saw it as if our aternment became a tyranny some point in the future and they were going doortodoor to , while it guns that would be horrible, people would be justified to defend. Hemselves the Supreme Court has ruled in the past that a person has a officersake a police life to defend themselves
