It is amazing. Go get warm. All right, thank you guys very much. Good morning and welcome to am joy. We are two hours from now. Estimated of half a Million People will gather blocks from the white house for our march for our lives. This event has been organized by students from Stoneman DouglasW High School who lost 17 classmates. The survivors have turned their shock and grieve action of a tired response to Mass Shootings in america. They say that tougher gun laws do not decrease gun violence, we call bs. They say guns are just tools like knives and are dangerous as cars. We call bs. Thats good. Just behind me even as we speak, many of the parkland activists are gathering with hundreds of thousands of fellas and students and including kids from the dc area who lived with the trauma of gun violence in their community for years and years. They are joined by thousands morallyi more rallying across the country. They are still calling it bs and their young voices are heard. Joining me now, tremaine, tell me whats happening now where you are. Joy, what is amazing is we are still two hours out and we are expecting hundreds of thousands to be here in dc. I dont know if you can see behind me. This crowd stretches back several hundred yards and people from all over the country. I spoke to a family from north korea and new york and one thing that has been common throughout is the adults in the situation, the parents, all referred their questions to the children. They said they want to end gun violence, enough is enough. Even young people that never been politically active have been engaged by this. A family who lost a brother, a young man lost his twin brother to gun violence, he says it does not matter a mass shooting or urban gun violence, this needs to end. Parents say we have not gotten the job done in generations, perhaps, it is time for the young people to lead. Again, already can feel the excitement out here and folks who have traveled far and wide wanted to make sure they get here early. We are a few hundred yards from the state here. Throughout the day there will be speakers and you know people singing and performing different acts. The draw here today is that folks want to hear, get their voices out there. What is amazing is generations, people from different cultures and geography. I saw one sign that says gays for gun control. You have young people with signs that said love our children and not overtuur guns. I would say tens of thousands of people out here, it is going to be excited out here because of the energy and the emotions, these young people have had enough. Msnbcs tremaine lee, well check in with you live throughout the show. Thank you, joining me now from parkland florida is nbcs maya rodriguez, give us the update where you are. Reporter only about a mile away from marjorie Stoneman Douglas. Look at all the signs that we have here. We call bs, thats a rallying cry out hereaft after what Emma Gonzalez says over a month ago. They are expecting between 20 or 30,000 people here marching from this park. Joining me right now is samantha, thank you so much for being here. You guys are not students at margely Stoneman Douglas but you are students here attenborough ward county. Why is it important for you to come out . I am here to support my community and everyone we are the next generation, this is our generation thats fighting for what is right. These are necessities that need to happen. This is not what our government should be like. We need unity and this is what we are fighting for here today. Thats why we are here to come and support everything that happe happened 59 days ago. Reporter can you believe it is just 59 days and all of this. Our generation. What we have and the impact that we have on Todays Society and this is why we are here today supporting our community. Reporter what would you like to see happen now . I know everyone is reaching out to their lmawmakers and they wat to see something change. Everything else that everyone else wants to see change. I want asusault rifles to be gone. They should not be here. Only people who are trained to use them should be using them. Thats it. Not only assault rifles but more laws on gun control in general. All guns are there to protect us and not everyone should have their hands on them. We dont need to live in fear and need guns to support ourselves and to keep ourselves safe. Thats not what we are about here in america. Reporter salesman mantha an arianna, thank you for joining us. You can see tens of thousands of people are here. Theyll be marching a mile down in just a few minutes with the program here. Back to you, joy. Absolutely, maya rodriguez, thank you so much. Joining me now is valley jarred. This is amazing. Unbelievable. I want to put up a map of all of the places and where all the rallies are taken place worldwide. It is incredible of these kids in Stoneman Douglas and parkland florida are putting this together this march and well get that map up to show. 800 around the city. It is not just washington focused. It is spreading around our country and the world and these young people out of tragedy and out of profound grief have started a revelation. You cannot stop them now. I met a young man who lost his brother two years ago from chicago. He says i am doing this for my brother. He cannot be here and i want to make sure nobody else loses their brothers. There is a profound pain but also energy and enthusiasm. It is not just washington focused, it is sending a message to that capital. It is letting washington know that these kids, some of them are not old enough to vote but their parents can vote and theyll turn 18 and theyre focused on the politics here. They attracted attention from celebrities here. President obama actually sent a letter. He and mrs. Obama. Talk about this, i am struck by the fact that i will never forget president obama you know as a father just breaking down really talking about the sandy hook children. Those little kids who were killed. It was our worst days in eight years. And nothing happened. Exactly right. Nothing happened in washington but i will say a lot happened in the sandy hook community, they organized an entire promise design to try to alert young people to recognize Mental Illness after Gabby Gifford was shot, she and her husband started an effort every town. You and i were just in new york, we heard what they have been doing there. A lot of the work have been going on for a long time but it did not catch the energy. The momentum. What do we have thats so special . They have master social media. Thats my sense, first of all, they are smart, they are fear less. They dont care about the nra. Theyre not getting money from the nra and they have been through a tragedy and they are motivated and they know how to use this powerful tool yes. This is a new age. You and i unfortunately are a little out dated. Exactly. They know how to do it. Yeah, they are not dependant on debtigetting permission. They are empowered. That empowerment makes them believe that they can make a difference here. I like one of the young people yesterday said this is the beginning of a marathon. They are realistic and they know it is going to take time. Theyre not taking no for an answer. This is in addition showing the people the meaning of activism and sticking to it. This is an incredible example of what good Public Schools. Yes. With teachers who are dedicated. This is the Public School system in Broward County florida at its best. Why does not every person around the country have that opportunity. Yes. And also they are amazing. Public speakers. They are poised and they are not nervous and not intimidated by anything. At all. To talk about some of the changes that happens in the states. There is a little bit of change. Oregon banned people from convicted or Domestic Violence from buying their own guns. That passed on february 22nd and rhode island, englishedstablish flag policy on guns that will keep guns away from the people. Washington state banned the sale use of bump stocks on march 6th. These kids have gotten much more done than we have seen in columbine in 1999. They are just beginning. They are going state by state and theyre going to be here in washington. They are recognizing their power and influence. Look at all the companies that stopped add ter vivertising wit nra. Thats happening because of these young people. Everybody is getting in this. So i think that shows you what can happen. Do you feel this could change the culture . One of the things, this gun culture in this country, do you see it starting to change because of this. I hope so. I heard from you and a lot of people who carry guns, look, i am willing to put down my assault weapons. I rather have a young person live. You are waiving public policy. Whats more important to you, having children to go to school . My daughter is grown, i did not realize that schools are having training sessions. My kids went to school in florida. Yeah. Is that really what we want for our children . We want them to go there and learn. As a parent myself who has kids in Broward County school having to have the meeting where you meet in the park so you know where to meet your kids when there is an active shooter in the school. It is ridiculous, no other country in the world does this to their children. You see austria, they had one tragedy and changed the law, bo boom, just like that. We are changing things here. Valerie, it is great to talk to you. Thank you, you sat down and the sun comes out. Thank you very much. We have live coverage for the march for our lives right here on msnbc, right here, dont go away. To die and have their blood spilled in american classrooms trying to make the world a better place just because politicians refused to take action.

In afghanistan. My Service Weapon was an m4 assault rifle. My Service Weapon is m16. It is the same. As the ar15. The same weapon that kills hundreds of people in the deadliest mass shooting in america. I know the power of this firsthand. There is no reason. No reason. Why anyone other than military or Law Enforcement should have an assault well upon like this. That was a powerful new ad by a group called veterans for gun control. It was tweeted out by a lot of people on friday including Emma Gonzalez. One of the Parkland Students who organized the march for our lives. The historic rally taken place in washington, d. C. , not too far away where im siting right now. Marches are gathering in parkland, florida, the birthplace of this movement. Joining me now, the mayor of parkland. Thank you jurfor joining me. This is amazing of what the city of parkland have been able to accomplish. The country had struggled with since columbine in 1999, what is it about parkland that is so special and students and your community is able to pull this off . Parkland has been a Close Knit Community and active committee. We had hurricanes here in september and as soon as people got their electricity back, the first thing they want to do is know how they could help each other. We have been that Community Reaching out within our city and beyond our borders to help. This students have been nothing short of incredible. They taken to social media and let their voices be heard. In florida, we have seen wonderful things happening as far as people on both sides o f the political isle coming together and finding where there is Common Ground to make a difference and to make sure that Something Like this never happens again. Yeah, indeed, as a former Broward County, i know very well how powerful the nra is there. Marian hammer, you know she runs that state assort of a permanent governor. Yes, a modest gun bill did pass in march as a direct result of the parkland massacre, three days waiting period, ban sales of bump stocks and funning resource officer and Mental Health services, allowing some staffs to carry guns in school and raising the minimum age to buy a firearm of 21. A few things not in the bill. There were no assault weapons banned there. Ar 15 sales were not banned. And background checks are not strengthen. Do you foresee those things that were left off in the agenda that i am sure you heard a lot of the Parkland Students heard. Can that pass in florida . I believe we need to focus on what with amazing fleet that did pass. The fact that bill did pass the session, if someone said that a month ago, no one would believe thats possible. There is a commitment in the city and the state towards students safety and we need to keep focusing on that so our schools and community are safe. Yes, absolutely. You know big up to parkland, florida, mayor kristine, thank you very much. Your march looks impressive behind you. Have a great day. Thank you. Thank you very much, joining me now is u. S. Senator is amy klobachar. You, more than most knows that the same power that they have in florida, they over hold it to capitol hill. Same question to you, we have seen gun reform measure passed in several states, including florida. Is it possible, can you foresee significant gun reform passing through the United States and senate and the house. I can. The reason i can say it is what we are seeing behind here. For years, Law Enforcement was pushing for background checks and rules and some limits on assault weapons then the moms tried after sandy hook and they are in my office today, that bill went down. It was the saddest day. I had to tell them people did not have the courage to pass that when they had the courage to come to washington. This is the tipping point. You have students, young people who are saying to their parents and grandparents, we like to hunt, too, we are a big hunting statement in florida. We dont understand how a background check is going to hurt hunting. Thats how i look at these things. You can feel it and not just here. We are having 13 marches in minnesota, i met with kids here that came out here on a bus. Yeah. Theyre already to go and there is just a feeling of movement that we have not had in this issue since i started working. I love to ask the question behind the scenes when the cameras are not there, i am going to ask you one of those. Are they more afraid of these teenagers than those sandy hook moms . I think i would not known if i use the word fear, i think there are more of them coming at them because their friends and grand kids and talking to them all the time and asking them innocent questions like why cannot we go to school and feel safe . Why do you need a bump stock. Those kinds of questions, i think you can ask a different way than a mom telling you what to do. I am a mom so i can say that. Yeah, the other power is these parkland kids have moms and dads, their parents can vote and who has more influence over the mom and the grandma than the teenagers. I cannot believe the number of teenagers calling our office how can we register early as we turn 18 by a certain day. They are attune to this, they are voting for those 17 people and so many of the young people that cannot vote anymore because they perished in that tragic murder. I played a little bit of the veterans gun reform ad at the top of this block. Now you are seeing veterans going forward. That weapon, the ar15 is what i use in combat. Do the veterans become the next force thats sort of an ir thats a powerful group as our hunters who are looking forward, you know, we respect the Second Amendment and we want to go out and hunt but we dont need this kind of weapon. We lost 6,000 women to Domestic Violence in a way of homicides with guns. Yeah. Thats more than we lost brave troops in iraq and afghanistan. The figure i pointed out to the president at the white house when i was at the meeting. That issue is also part of this because you got men that are willing to stand up that say thats wrong. Yeah. You got to go beyond the groups that have been talking about this and move to veterans and move to Police Officers, move to these young boys and girls that have been talking about. You change the face of the movement. Thats what happens with gay marriage. Indeed. That was a lot about barack obama coming up. Who influenced barack obama . His tekid
