Democratic president ial hopefuls. Beto orourke for the vanity fair cover, out there, screaming and cursing about President Trump. That doesnt heal a single soul, that doesnt help. And Elizabeth Warren yesterday, was raising money for senate candidates. She is raising money, talking about the Mass Shootings. This is a disgrace, and if nobody else is going to talk about it, im going to talk about it. They all blamed him, and i want to name and shame them because they did not respond in kind. They want to be president , he is the president , and he is trying to bring the country together. Rick live at the white house where the administration is battling back against critics. Hey, good morning, rick. The white house wants congress to return. They say republicans should work with them on gun control read legislation. Promised to give Law Enforcement or whatever they needed to address domestic terrorism. He also tweeted that congress should pass strong background checks and then suggested that they marry that with any Gun Legislation and immigration reform. The white house criticize democrats who said congress should scrap at least some of it summer break. We cant get around people screaming on tv, those elected to do their jobs here in washington, they should return or come here to the white house to speak to the president. Around here, he works constantly, and we wonder why they leave for six weeks on the first place. Their constituents can ask them not question. They are throwing this one back at the republicancontrolled senate, urging Mitch Mcconnell to bring up a build out the house passed in february to expand background checks. Nancy pelosi and Senate Minority leader say Mitch Mcconnell has called himself the grim reaper and refuses to act on this. It is incumbent upon the senate to come back into session to pass this legislation immediately. It Mitch Mcconnell says he has directed Senate Committees to reflect on the subjects the president has raised to work on solutions without infringing on american constitutional rights. The white house sb six will travel to el paso and dayton tomorrow. For now, it is a quiet day at the white house. There are no events on the present schedule. Rick thank you. Sandra over in ohio, we are awaiting a News Conference from the governor at this hour. He is expected to unveil a new proposal to deal with gun violence in his state and Mental Health. Police say the gunman fired at least 41 rounds in 30 seconds before officers were able to kill him. Lets bring in dave yost. He joins us now. We are happy you are able to join us on the program this morning. What can you tell us to expect as far as any changes to the gun laws in your state following the shooting . Well, the governor, as you mention, is going to outline his ideas this hour, and so we will all be watching to see what he wants to put on the table. Sandra so as soon as we have those and as soon as we hear what he is proposing, we will bring that to our viewers. Meanwhile, what can you tell us is the latest on the investigation . What are we learning today about the shooter and what went down outside that bar . Well, weve entered the other phase of this investigation. There is a lot of routine police work some ring of the life events working up to this event. A key question remains to be solved is did the shooter intended to kill his own sister just to have it did this have something to do with his mental state or his motivation . Today, my people are and dayton for the next 12 hours. At the Convention Center to work with the families, the victims of this tragedy. We have a variety of services that can help fund a psalm of the expenses and losses that occur after a crime. And we are going to be on the ground reaching out to help those grieving folks. Sandra as a country, we continue to grieve with those who lost their loved ones, there family members on that day. When it comes to the killer, you mentioned the sister because we know that she is among the victims. He shot and killed her. We have seen pictures of them together. We dont know exactly what their relationship was, has the investigation turned up anything on that . We are all waiting to hear what comes up out of the next few days. Sandra as far as the killers kill list, this rape list that he had when he was still in school, what can you tell us . Who was this person . Well, he was actually suspended for that hit list. A lot of people are asking questions about whether these should have been red flags. But sometime in the past, the police chief there in dayton has questioned how close this is, but these are all questions that need to be asked, need to be investigated, and really raise the importance of people reacting appropriately when they see this kind of behavior. Very disturbing sort of thing. Sandra and as far as this twitter feed that is apparently an account that was held by the shooter, it belong to him, holding very extreme views on socialism, antipolice messages, support for antifa, what more can you tell us about how he existed in social media and the red flags that were there . Well, i will defer to the investigators to release their information as is appropriate. All i can say is the social media trail is troubling. And certainly something that we ought to all be watching. Sandra as far as the gun laws in your state, sir, the handgun magazine capacity, no mandatory winning. Waiting period. Sound with the killer as well as additional magazines. We know that he had the capacity for multiple hundreds of rounds. Based on everything that we saw there, we spoke to the mayor of dayton yesterday, said that it is hard to believe that a civilian could have these types of weapons in their possession. Do you, sir, see the need for changes to your states gun laws . You know, the legislatures want to pass those gun laws. Im the one that helps to enforce them. I dont have any suggestions at this moment that i want to see them take up. Theres a number of things that we are researching, particularly about the crosschecking that can happen or may not happen between disqualifying list. For example, ccl permits. Sandra those are issued at the county level, correct . That is correct. By the local sheriff. Sandra right now, the only track is whether they are 21 years, or if they have a criminal past. The president will travel to ohio and texas. How will he be received there . What would you like to hear from him . Well, i think that the state, the country is looking for him to bring us together. He is known for the art of the deal. This seems like an appropriate time for him to use those skills to try to create a consensus. Sandra we appreciate your time this morning, sir. Dave yost. A Ohio Attorney general. Thank you. Rick meanwhile, confirming two more victims have died in el paso, bringing the death toll in texas to 22 as we learn more about where the suspect obtained his weapon and how he wound up at that walmart in the first place. It was near his hometown. I dont have the exact details of that right now. The weapon was purchased legal legally. He took about ten or 11 hours traveling from his home to el paso. After that, he found his way to the walmart because as we understand, he was hungry, and that is about as far as we can go without getting into detail. Rick he was hungry. Jeff paul live in el paso with more. Outside of the walmart, more and more people are showing up here. Not only to try to come to terms with what happened but also to attempt to honor the 22 lives who were taken. One of those people who was murdered in this attack, 15yearold amy rodriguez. Crowds of people coming together to remember 13. He was a soccer player. His family says he was shopping for groceries and other items, and his uncle was shot. Rodriguez was killed. And a time like this, i cant help but feel angry that this young man was robbed of his potential, robbed of his future, and robbed of his life because of someones unfounded hatred. However, i know that if i truly want to pay tribute to his life, anger has no place in honoring his memory. This is just one of the many stories we are starting to hear after we learn more and more about the lives of the 22 that were killed. This community is also preparing for a visit from President Trump tomorrow. There is some concern from locals here in el paso about that. Veronica escobar has said that trump is not welcome. But the mayor here in el paso recently addressed the preside president. I want to clarify for the political spin that this is the office of the mayor ive el paso in an official capacity welcoming the president of the United States, which i consider is my formal duty. Well that continues to grow, the investigation is ongoing. Rick. Rick jeff paul in el paso. Thanks very much. Sandra fox news alert. After the dow saw its biggest loss of the year yesterday over fears of an escalating trade war with china, markets are set to rebound today. We look at futures for that.

His retirement announcement brings the total number of House Republicans leaving office in 2020 to 11. Of that group, four of them are from texas. Hugo, thanks for rushing in here for us. Why so many republicans are leaving office, and why so many from the Lone Star State . It is a very bad sign for republicans. They will retire when they dont think that they can win. Those guys, those members are looking in their particular districts and saying you know what . I would rather go out voluntarily retiring then get beaten by a democrat. Rick is it that they dont like being in the minority . It is a combination of those two things. Texas is trending purple. There has been a great way for the republicans that it is getting a little bit more democrat, rapidly. The chances of the republicans retaking the house now are getting slimmer and slimmer. They would much rather be in power, but if they are not going to be in power, they dont want to be there. Rick it is harder if an incumbent is on running. Oh, absolutely terms of self fulfilling prophecy, it makes it far easier for the democrats to take it, even if they might have lost it by thin margin. If they retained it, it actually changes the equation. It makes things better for them. Rick how does this affect the reelection hopes in the president ial election . This is a sign that things are bad and texas 4, and i dont think it will go blue in 2020, but clearly, the departure of a republican suggest that that is the way that the state is trending. Rick that would be pretty remarkable if it did. Shootings are always politicized. We want to switch topics and talk about what happened in texas and ohio and also what happened this morning in the New York Times, which posted a headline on twitter that it later changed for the print edition. At the original headline read trump urges unity versus racism. Assailing hate, but not guns. Why did they change the headli headline . They came under immediate pressure from the left and from various democratic president ial candidates. Rick they force them to change the headline . I would think that it weighed pretty heavily. It was simple, straightforward quotation or news representation of what the president actually said, then suddenly, beto orourke, cory booker rick Kirsten Gillibrand tweeted thats not what happen. Cory booker tweeted lives literally depend on you doing better, New York Times. Please do. And aoc tweeted let this serve as a reminder of how White Supremacy is aided on and relies upon the cowardice of mainstream institutions. Its remarkable to see the democrats attacking media. Only count for something bad when President Trump is attacking the media. The thing that they didnt like is that it didnt feed into their agenda. We are so use to them actually feeding it the agenda on gun control, that they were outraged on the First Edition didnt. So the New York Times changed it. Rick wasnt the first version of fair representation of what the president actually said . Yes, he condemned hatred and racism. The democrats were suggesting that somehow there should be interpreted or analyzed in the headline. That was a straightforward news headline. The context and analysis should have been in the actual story of this headline. Rick thanks for being here this morning, hugo gurdon. Sandra the shocking claim coming from a former google employees. 136 won in 2016, google executives went up on stage right away and cried, literally tears streaming down their faces over the fact that President Trump won.

Wow. Yeah. Not getting in today. Terminix. Defenders of home. President trump has taken a very strong move here and posing the sweeping, putting out full block and full freeze on all assets, all parts of the government of venezuela. They are all strongly supportive of this new move. I think that there is a renewed sense of confidence here. Renewed it determination that we have to see moved out of power. Sandra that was john bolton this morning on the political crisis in venezuela. The Trump Administration imposing a freeze on the assets appeared in the u. S. , escalating pressure on venezuela, stepping down. We are live up the white house with the latest on that. Good morning. This is a step short of a full on economic embargo against venezuela, but as you heard, john bolton layout there, these are sweeping sanctions. Definitely ratchets up the sanctions that are currently in place against venezuela. A couple of different components to this one. First off, this raises the assets of Nicolas Maduro and those underneath him in the venezuelan government here in the u. S. , but also lets foreigners and foreign embassies now that should they do business with him or those underneath h him, they could potentially be hit with serious san
