i am sick and tired of it. we have to act. >> i want to be very very clear tonight. president biden appeared on camera tonight for less than eight minutes, not because he believed that his words would comfort the families or the friends of the victims, not because he believed that he would calm what are obviously frayed nerves of a worried nation, parents who are worried he didn't do it to unite americ in this time of grief. no he did not. he spoke tonight because politics is selfish. because in today's twisted world , it is considered perfectly appropriate to exploi the massacre of innocent little kids and turnaround your own sagging home members. they have biden at the lowest approval of his presidency. 36 percent. so this attempt at political resuscitation on biden's part i despicable. but it's altogether predictable isn't it? the white house is tried this many times before and has failed . they tried to use the russian invasion of ukraine. they have the leak that roe decision. they have tried to use race or january 6 to divide americans and boost his own standing. none of it worked. 51 were shot and killed in chicago. we have talked about this a lot lately on the angle. that's where a liberal mayor ha resided for as long as i can remember. so far this year, by the way, 218 people have been killed in chicago. have you heard biden give an impassioned address about any o that? he doesn't speak about any of this? no democrat really does. not even lori lightfoot, not much. now we know why, those victims, they are able to go nameless an faceless because the elites kinda find their task irrelevan because those deaths cannot be used, or at least they think they can be used where they wouldn't be efficient to use them for political benefit. we actually those lives matter, like the coda early who is stil recovering at age 23 in an icu in the hospital from his previous wounds after he was left dead. he was ambushed remembered for his telephone two weeks ago in chicago. he was shot two times at close range and still identified his killer in a lineup. so after all this terrific news i will still say this, american know of only when they say one and any politicians, i don't care republican democrats or somewhere in between, and you'r seeking to use what happened today to help yourself, you should be ashamed of yourself. we have a political process in our country, if you want to change law, if you want to change the constitution, go ahead and get the votes and change the law or amend the constitution. if you can do that, you will find success. and whatever your goals are. but if you can't do that, don't come to the nation in the time of tragedy and try to shame the rest of us. we know what time it is. former trump assistant secretar for public affairs. a horrific day of news, i mean, i felt like throwing up all day long, it's just terrific great know that community, it's an amazing community people and families and they are playing soccer or baseball on the weekends just like so many communities across this country. charlie, your reaction to what happens, the tragedy, and than sadly were going to have to tal about what happens tonight with the attempt to exploit it. >> i think that you and obviously bill did a very good job of encapsulating how so man of us feel. it's absolutely unspeakable. as a parent, you look at these these images and you think abou those children and it is hard t kinda wrap your brain around it obviously there's a lot we don' know right now and there is a lot we need to learn in the coming days and weeks, but i think it is safe to say that there is not a soul in america today who wouldn't give everything to prevent this sort of thing from happening again. >> monica, we have had these school shootings before and there is a lot that goes into this, a lot of personal tragedy and families that are broken, a lot of mental illness, we will learn more about the shooter is the time goes on, but tonight, when we are still finding out that people are missing, the president rushes out, reaction to that? >> the merger of children is a singular people and what we saw today is just beyond comprehension. one of the president's many job is in the time of tragedy in a time of this kind of crime, is to unite the country in our grief, and reflect, and remembe the last souls and grieved together as a nation, and any effective president does that very well. with inca president reagan, you think a president trump, and evil exists, it's on the march, in this country and around the world, and so it would have bee very nice and very appropriate to have an american president say give that kind of message, message of uniting the country. instead, what we got from this president is a hack of a speech pretty probably spent it's another thing to be an american president in a time of grief. he was already waiting into policy arguments, i really thin that this white house and this democratic party believes that they want to distract us all from the historic catastrophe and they think that they can ru and gun control and abortion, t culture war issues that divide the country. so instead of bringing us together, all they do is drive wedges between us. >> texas congressman, he was on tv today and spoke off and on, but he has an idea about who is really to blame for the shooting . watch. get the answer is not to arm teachers and create even more dangerous situation by having a lot more people with guns there that our in the state legislator , the republican majority have made it more dangerous by making it easier for people to get weapons that can kill a bunch of people. >> he didn't miss a beat, did he ? entirely on the gop shoulders. >> it is sort of unimaginable that you have people in public life, politicians, joe biden ha been at this for 50 years and has been part of the problem fo 50 years. if he had a workable solution, he hasn't offered to it. the idea that he would walk out and going into that speech, i went in with an open heart and thought this is a hard speech t give. all you have to do is you have to stick with the unifying message and if you listen to ho quickly every single day there is a tragedy in this country, they exploited to their own personal political benefits, an it is so despicable great to listen to that congressman talk about that, the idea that the only thing that saved more children from dying was that yo had a heroic border patrol agents in other officers in tha school who we're armed and they shot the guy dead, and that is what stopped the carnage, and for these guys to sit here and flippantly dismiss the idea of hardening schools obviously it' not their children, but the ide that they would take this opportunity to try to score political points is so beyond despicable. it is disgusting to even have t even respond to it. >> writes. >> monica, there is a wonderful place called the oxford and, texas. two of their workers lost children. i just found out about a minute ago. these are amazing people. again, there are communities, this is an incredible community. so they are grieving, they are hurting, there are kids that ar unaccounted for, and the response by this administration biden is at 36 percent approval we are going to turn it around on these horrific stories of personal loss. is there anything more selfish than that? >> i think it's the epitome of selfishness and why people hate politics, period. >> one of the reasons why joe biden's poll numbers are circling the drain is it's the policies that are absolutely conscious traffic for every american. it's also the fact that this ma does not project understanding, compassion, sympathy. with joe biden it's all politic all the time. even in this crisis moment wher the president job is to bring the country together. he got off an airplane after 17 hours coming back from asia, so he was jetlagged, i'm sure they handed him the speech and he said great and he just read it by rote, but he actually believes what he conveyed to make. in let me just say this, laura. the propaganda price is going t amplify this. they are already running with it . he's got the support of the press ongoing control and the other agenda items he wants to move forward with great he thinks he's got his wingmen protecting him on this. he won't let the american peopl see through the forest tonight. they are hurting for these parents who have lost their children. they see with a callous crass political statement tonight great i expect that to drop eve further after this. >> in fact, charlie, i believe it was today that the white house released its new much anticipated rules for federal use of force guidelines post george floyd and the taylor desk , so how ironic that their focus is let's definitely make the problem here at the law enforcement in america, but tha is what came down today. and again, the people who want to think the worst of law enforcement, and i'm not saying there can't be any changes, maybe there are modifications that would make sense, but that is their goal, they love those things. >> writes. >> into listen to them talk about keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, you know, i you're in the administration that doesn't believe in prosecuting ellen a case is about people who, felonies, if you're an administration that doesn't believe in enforcing laws that charge people with felonies so they can't process guns. it would be how did this 18 -year-old guy who clearly has severe mental issues, how did h get these guns, i think it's a legitimate questions to ask for it, but, coming from an administration vice president t literally build rioters out of jail during the summer of hate in order so that those people could go back and make more laws , you really can't have it both ways, but that's what they want to do and then they want t politicize horrific tragedy. get this is coming off the heel of you know what is happening a davo's or america is really under america is the biggest polluter, the greediest, and, cnn's national security analyst juliet km, she wasted no time i using this whole tragedy to trash america. watch. >> that if what the united states means to the world, we can pretend that we represent goodness in the right side of history and what ever conflict is out there. about the world like it is an says this is that we are not getting. this is not american exceptionalism. get no one thanks that killer i american exceptionalism, so that's an idiotic point, but this is how they view america. >> they will use tragedy when children still lying on the ground as a reason to beat up o the united states of america. they don't believe we are worth of a superpower and they believ we are morally inferior so that arguments, you're going to hear this now for days from the left and they're going to try to gai the political advantage for the democrats this fall. it's not going to work despite the support of the press, but this is who they are. believe them. >> if there is always an excuse to erode american freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly coming your second amendment rights, they will loo for an excuse to do that. we will probably check back wit you later and they show great thank. now join me, no stretch of the all too well, his daughter was killed in the 2,018th parkland shooting. he spends his time advocating for schools to be safer. then children don't have to be vulnerable to these types of killers. a self-defense company. andrew, do you know what those parents are going through, and know your heart is breaking for them tonight. your reaction to what you've heard so far? >> am so angry and practically shaking right now of what happened and of what these parents have to deal with. just thinking that my daughter was murdered and we put a commission in florida together to look into all of this. this district in texas didn't learn anything. how hard could it be to have a single point of entry and armed policeman or highly trained teachers at the school. even at the single point of entry. >> andrew, we are learning more as time goes on about the suspected killer who himself wa shot and killed by the authorities on the scene. but i remember the first time you came on this program after your own horrific experience an tragedy, and the fact that we are still having these conversations about just puttin barriers in place to make it harder for someone to gain access to a school whether it's an inner, or bulletproof glass or one security officer, they i is quite stunning that that is something mother it's maybe it' a budget or desire, but they still don't have the psychic safety mechanisms in place. >> what i advocate a lot becaus i get a lot of messages from parents, it's the parents it, it's your responsibility where you're send your children to school. you have to know now after the shootings that every week there's a shooting whether it's a school or a supermarket, that you need to check where your kids go to school. in need to go back to school nc is there a single point of entry , do you have guards and the school. i got the message tonight from someone, they thanked me becaus they listen to me and they took their kids out of public school and put them into private schoo because a lot of these private schools take security way more serious. so parents, it is your responsibility where you bring your children. >> andrew, is exactly right. politicians have rushed out tonight they are still accounting for missing children in the politicians rushed out, including kamala harris. watch. >> as a nation, we have to have the courage to take action and understand the nexus between what makes for reasonable and sensible public policy to ensur something like this never happens again. >> andrew, your reaction to the almost instantaneous politicization of this issue eight years of obama and biden, i'm not sure what they accomplished, and now a year in a half of a democrat dominated congress in white house, and 21 dead in chicago so far through the month of april. >> it kills me that we have mor money to send to the ukraine, but we can't protect our children in our country. what are our children? how far could that 40 billion have gone? how many police could you have for $40 billion to be at school. either side they are, they're going to send that $40 billion to ukraine and we could use it here in this country. americans are suffering great liquid happened at the school. it angers me because i don't want to hear that we don't have money for schools very that's not right. >> andrew, you took the words out of my mouth tonight. $54 billion total, and of cours all the people coming across ou southern border who are also this is going to be huge cost o the country as well. we have money, but we're spending it all the wrong places . andrew, thank you for speaking out tonight and thank you for your words of compassion in you righteous anger and examination. >> slowly emerging from social media, and when and how he obtained those guns. we will dive all of those in moments, but i have to turn to some of the other news tonight, there are five states holding primaries across the country, georgia, texas, alabama, arkansas, in minnesota. we are getting resulting in hav reported all over. mark, what can you tell us? >> good evening to you, a republican governor h
