Omar mateen died in a gun battle with police, after the massacre at a gay nightclub. Authorities working the crime scene today said they need to know what mateen did before the attack. They would not confirm his wife knew of the plot and might be charged. I am not going to speculate today as to any charges that may be brought or indeed about whether any charges will be brought in this case. It is premature to do so. It would interfere and hamper the investigation to put out premature information about where the investigation is headed. Woodruff orlandos mayor said today that investigators do know mateen visited several locations saturday night. He did not elaborate. Ifill Senate Democrats launched a filibuster today, demanding tougher gun controls in the aftermath of orlando. Connecticut senator chris murphy and several others spent much of the day calling for a vote on barring gun sales to people on the terrorist watchlist. In the face of mass slaughter after mass slaughter, this body has taken absolutely no action. And i know that times are tough here, and i know that were often at each others throats, but that in and of itself, its unacceptable. Lets find some limited Common Ground on issues that the broad american electorate support and lets move forward on it. Ifill meanwhile, republican president ial candidate donald trump told a rally in atlanta, carnage could have been avoided if some of the orlando victims had themselves been carrying guns. If the bullets were going in the other direction, aimed at this guy who was just open target practice you wouldve had a situation, folks, which wouldve been always horrible, but nothing like the carnage that we all, as a people, suffered this weekend. Ifill trump said hell meet with the National Rifle association to discuss tying gun sales to the terror watch and nofly lists. In response, the n. R. A. Said it supports delaying gun sales to terror suspects for 72 hours, but it wants a way to take people off the watch list, if theyre wrongly accused. Woodruff another tragedy played out in the orlando area today, after an alligator killed a twoyearold boy at walt disney world. It happened tuesday evening at the seven seas lagoon, as the boy was wading near shore. Police reported search teams found the body today and that it was intact. The resort closed all its beaches. Ifill the wreckage of a missing egyptair plane has been spotted, deep in the mediterranean sea. Egyptian Officials Say theyve identified several main locations on the ocean floor. The flight disappeared on may 19, killing all 66 people on board. The cause of the crash remains unclear. Woodruff the Federal Reserve left a key shortterm Interest Rate unchanged today, in light of an uncertain jobs picture. In a statement, the central bank said the labor market has slowed while growth in Economic Activity appears to have picked up. Fed chair janet yellen elaborated although recent labor market data have on balance been disappointing, its important not to overreact to one or two monthly readings. The committee continues to expect that the labor market will strengthen further over the next few years. That said, we will be watching the job market carefully. Woodruff yellen said fed policy makers are also watching for any economic fallout from britains vote next week on whether to stay in the european union. Ifill the feds news failed to reassure wall street, as stocks fell for a fifth day. The Dow Jones Industrial average lost 34 points to close at 17,640. The nasdaq gave up eight points, and the s p 500 dropped nearly four. Woodruff president obama met with the dalai lama, despite chinas warnings that it would damage u. S. Chinese ties. Beijing accuses the spiritual leader of tibets buddhists of campaigning to split the region from china. The white house released a photo of the meeting, but allowed no other coverage. Ifill medical news on two fronts today. The World Health Organization now says theres no conclusive evidence that Drinking Coffee causes cancer. That reverses a 25yearold previous warning.

Ifill and, astronomers have picked up new echoes of two black holes crashing into each other, deep in space. The collision generated a gravitational wave that gave off a highpitched chirp. Its only the second time that earthbased instruments have detected a gravitational wave, and it helps prove the first time was not a fluke. Woodruff still to come on the newshour donald trump takes an unexpected stance on gun control; a new report detailing racial bias by the Oakland California police; how the Muslim Community is responding to the attack in orlando, and much more. Ifill no matter which side you are on, the 2016 campaign is already on the books as one of the most unusual in modern history. Just this week, donald trump, Hillary Clinton and president obama have offered a preview of whats to come, with attacks, counter attacks, and harsh disagreement over policy, both foreign and domestic. From guns, to refugees to immigration, it has turned into a Campaign Like no other. Call it the trump effect. Joining us to explain the hows and whys, Trump Senior Campaign Adviser barry bennett; wall street journal political reporter beth reinhard; and pollster ann selzer. Ann selzer, you just completed a poll with Bloomberg Politics released yesterday. Tell me, is there anything in there to support my notion that there is a trump effect this year . Well, there are a couple of things in there, gwen. First of all, what we see happening right now is a 12point lead for Hillary Clinton over donald trump, 49 to 37. Thats a substantial lead, and polls recently have been showing this a tighter race than that. So the trump effect for right now, overall, doesnt appear to be a winning position. But secondly, you asked about whether this is a race like no other, and pollsters have been going through their archives trying to find some little piece of data to shine a light on that, and i found one today. If you look at the proportion of republicans who have unfavorable feelings toward donald trump, its 27 , and you might think, well, this is just a year where everybody hates everybody. The number is 15 for Hillary Clinton. Thats looking just at democratic voters. I went back to our archives to see four years ago what was the situation with mitt romney, because maybe you think republicans always there is a substantial group that are unhappy with their nominee, it was 11 . So donald trump, enwithin the even within the confines of his own party is turning off a substantial number of people there and thats a trump effect, too. Ifill barry bennett, hes also turning on a substantial amount of people, how do you measure that . How do you weigh that against each other . Well, i think, typically, a candidate comes to a race and he comes within the four out of four voters and the three out of four voters and you fight the campaign on the two out of four voters. Its a reverse cycle. He comes with a bunch of folks who are not traditional republican voters. In ohio in january there were 16,000 registered reps, now its 38,000. A huge shift. Ifill in an important state. A very important state. These threefours and fourfours which supported somebody else in the primary, theyll come home. It will take time but theyll come home. Ifill you have been to this rodeo before, beth, so as you compare this to previous campaigns, what to you is the most significant difference . There is very little thats familiar about this race. Donald trump has not just rewritten the rule book but taken the old one, burnt it, thrown it in the ocean. Everything about how he runs his campaign and con tuckets himself is unlike anything weve ever seen before. The way he interacts with the media ifill or not. Or not. And in that case disqualifying reporters from covering him based on stories he doesnt like, we havent seen that before. The way he calls in int into the Television Networks and runs his own media operation on television and twitter is unlike anything weve ever seen before. Ifill and we know that Americans Still think largely the country is on the i dont e wrong track. Is that something which you could also maybe speak to the kind of effect that donald trump is having, something he can take advantage of . Well, our poll is showing that the percent of people showing that the nation is headed off in the wrong direction reached one of is highest points since we started polling in 2009. So theres a lot of discomfort at the national level, thats usually a reflection on the view of the president and, actually, Barack Obamas numbers were not so terrible in our poll. So there sort of is this breaking apart of the things that we used to think hung together and gave you a pretty clear view of the way the nation was heading. Not so anymore. Ifill barry bennett, there are all these contradictions. The perfect example today is donald trump says hes going to speak to the n. R. A. About changing nofly lists for who can purchase guns which is something the n. R. A. Objects to. He says he supports the Lgbt Community in the wake of orlando but not that he supports gay marriage. Is it americans can hold two opposing thoughts in their heads at one time . I think often in politics we come up with this monolithic view of things and this cycle is an example of where none is true. The hispanic voter, theyre all over the place, some are religious based, some family based, some young progressives. So were challenging all the norms weve seen in the campaign. I think the tone of the country, 45 of folks think were going in the wrong direction, which is an alltime record. Theyve also figured out they dont necessarily have to like or love the candidate for president , which weve always believed to be true. They want to go someone to washington with a bull dozers license and just fix things and thats i think, what were seeing. Other wires, how could Donald TrumpsApproval Rating be at 29 and his ballot be in the 40s . Its not possible during traditional political metrics. Ifill well, there are no traditional, political metrics that apply, i think we can all agree. Beth, let me ask you, it feels like weve just lurched into the general election campaign. Bernie sanders is in the race but doesnt feel like thats whats driving this anymore. How different are the primary races, aside of the 17 people on the republican ticket, how different are they from general Election Races and does it matter in a nontraditional year like this . Donald trump, people keep saying hes going to pivot to the general election and we have been sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for that to happen and it hasnt. He talks about rivals that fell away months ago as if hes still reliving those conquests, and, of course, he is talking quite a bit about hillary as well, but it does still have the feel of a primary in that the rhetoric is just as fury and harsh as you see in a primary where people are trying to appeal to that firebreathing base. He hasnt really moderated his tone which is what expect once you become the nominee that youre going to try to reach this wider audience with, you know, more warmer tones. Donald trump is hitting it as hard as ever. Ifill that reminds me, yesterday the president came as close to fire breathing as he ever gets, in his pretty full throwed, without mentioning his name, atook on donald trump and what donald trump stands for. At the same time, am i right, his Approval Rating seems to be creeping up . Yes, his Approval Rating is creeping up, his favorability numbers are creeping up. Hes on par with bill clinton who usually surpassed him h a little there. I think, however, there are things still bothering the general electorate as we look at donald trump. We tested a few items and half say theyre bothered a lot by trumps ban on muslim immigrants. 55 bothered a lot about comments he made about the judge ruling in the Trump University case, and 62 bothered a lot about his tone with women. 62 . That the bothered a lot. Thats the strongest answer they could give us. And its 71 among women. The one last thing i want to share with you is we know he can change things if he wants to. When we first were polling on donald trump here in iowa a year ago, his favorable to unfavorable ratio was 2to1 unfavorable, and in the course of a few months, he flipped it to where it was 2to1 favorable to unfavorable. Hes done magic before. Ifill barry bennett, doing magic, how does he flip the numbers . I think when people hear his policy positions, you could either believe what Hillary Clinton says about his policies or you can listen to him, they come to appreciate where he is. You know, government is not working. We know precious little versus this idea of radical islam, we know precious little about what causes people to radicalize. We have been dealing with this for a number of years now. Youd think we would have a better understanding, we would have a better screening, have a better watching and calculation, but all of our processes that the government has put in place have not worked. Ifill do you think hes been specific enough about what the alternative is . You can never be specific enough. Thats what campaigns are about. Thats why we have 150some days to talk about it. Thats why were going to talk about it in the campaign. But there are so many people in america suffering real pain and the current policies of this administration and even some of the policies from the Previous Administration just never helped them and thats what were going to talk about. Ifill barry bennett, wall street journal, and beth reinhard, political reporter, and pollster ann selzer, thank you all very much. Woodruff the Police Department in oakland, california has a long and troubled history. The most recent scandal to roil the department involves alleged Sexual Misconduct by officers. Police chief sean whent resigned last week for reportedly mishandling that situation. And there are decades of tension and mistrust between officers and the African American community. Stanford university has been studying that often volatile relationship and the results of the groundbreaking study were released today. Special correspondent jackie judd has our exclusive report. Reporter the report confirms what African American residents of oakland, california have long known, seen and felt; police often treat them very differently than white residents. We found a significant pattern of Racial Disparities in who was stopped and who was handcuffed and who was searched and who was arrested. Reporter Rebecca Hetey is a Stanford University researcher and an author of the report. More importantly, these disparities remained significant after we took into account a wide range of factors that we would expect to influence police decisionmaking, like crime rate, like neighborhood demographics. It is an insult and no one can make me believe that this would be happening in any other community except for a community that is defined by black, brown and poor people. Reporter activists and brothers michael and ben mcbride are longtime critics of the oakland Police Department. We have a broken relationship because while there have been some steps moving forward to try to repair it, there still has not been the kind of honest discourse that needs to happen around truth and reconciliation. Reporter according to the most recent f. B. I. Statistics, oakland has more Violent Crime than any other u. S. City except for detroit and memphis. It was in this supercharged atmosphere that city officials took an absolutely unprecedented step. They decided to have outsiders analyze their officers behavior, knowing the results would not be pretty. Oakland mayor libby schaaf but it is incredibly important that we ask these hard questions
