Reporter well, its been an extraordinary day of images, hasnt it . It began with marine one swooping down over best of youc palace. Extraordinary pictures as members of his family and members of the royal family watched. Then he made his way to westminster where he laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown warrior. There you had history being watched by the president and being made by the president as prince andrew, the queens son, led the president around and showed him around. And then there was an informal lunch with members of the royal family. And one of the moments that i think may be remarked upon and that was the image of prince harry appearing to hold back, not close to the president. Perhaps he wasnt supposed to be coming forward. But i think it will be remarked upon because of those comments with a british tabloid newspaper about meghan. And Prince Charles taking up an afternoon tea. It looked relaxed and informal. These kind of events combine extraordinary this kind of extraordinary state occasion, these grandiose images with very private moments between the president and members of the royal family. Tonight, the culmination, this enormous room where the cutlery, the seats, everything is carefully measured. The queen will give a speech and President Trump will be giving a speech. I think people will be holding their breath. And we know why one would be holding the president. Sadiq khan wrote a scathing piece about the president rebuking this state visit. The president responded calling the london mayor a stonecold loser. The president has denied calling Meghan Markle nasty. She had said before she married prince harry, she had negative things to say about him. We know that the president said this. Lets share the sound. Are you sorry not to see you, because she wasnt so nice about you during the campaign. I didnt know that, no. I hope shes okay. I did not know that. She said shed move to canada if you got elected. Turned out she moved to britain. A lot of people moving here. I didnt know that she was nasty. He didnt know that she was nasty. The president did say that. Hes called the mayor a stonecold loser. Is that going to make anything awkward tonight . Reporter its making the whole trip awkward. The politics are very difficult. The leader of the opposition has refused to do to the banquet tonight. While you have this constitutional occasion hosted by the royal family looking terrific in terms of pictures for the president , the background is very, very difficult politics. All right. Keir thank you very much. Lets bring in Washington Post political reporter eugene scott. You have called the attacks unhelpful. For those who dont follow it closely, how significant is it that shes not around . It is significant in part because she is one of the most obvious ties and most recent well known ties between america and britain right now. She was born here in los angeles and now is a duchess. And so shes been very vocal about politics and social issues and could honestly be a bridge between a president whos quite unpopular in britain at the current time, but instead of addressing the valid concerns she had about his divisiveness and some of his world views and comments about women, she dismissed her in a way that shes dismissed hillary clinton, Elizabeth Warren, the mayor of san juan puerto rico when they also point out that he is not as helpful as you would think the president of the United States would be. Those are people who are involved in government and legislating. Meghan markle just had a baby. And shes a member of the royal family. As far as politics and policy goes, does it really matter to the president as ugly as we could say things are in the u. S. , theyre even worse in the uk, you could argue they need President Trumps support more than he needs theirs. If it really had no meaning, if Meghan Markles views of the president of the country of her birth were insignificant, one could argue that the president would not be taking so much time to meet with other royals. Theres power and influence that she has beyond what happens on their in their versions of capitol hill and congress. And so it wouldnt be unhelpful to form a positive relationship with Meghan Markle, at least not to dismisses her. We know that she remains popular and she could help people in her new adopted country have a better view of him if he somehow explained what he said or meant that she found troublesome in a way that she found helpful. I want to ask you about the president s soninlaw, Jared Kushner. He was interviewed this weekend, heres what he said about birtherism. Was birtherism racist . I wasnt involved in that. I know you werent. Was it racist . I know you werent. Was it racist . Look, i know who the president is, and ive not seen anything in him that is racist. I was not involved in that. Did you wish he didnt do that . Like i said, i was not involved in that. That was a long time ago. It wasnt that long ago. Jared kushner was in their life and orbit while trump was carrying on about birtherism. Thats incorrect that Jared Kushner says he wasnt involved in it. But that wasnt a hard question. It wasnt a hard question. And two points, birtherism was rearrived during the 2016 president ial election and we saw Melania Trump speak out in support of her husband and his claims of birtherism. I think a better question for jared is, you were involved in the campaign. Why did you not speak out on it then . I think this response from jared, its why so many people believe its not just the president who traffics racism, but its the administration as whole. What jared could have said was that was not an appropriate thing to do. He could have distanced himself from the comments and spoke about what hes doing to improve relationships with people of the muslim faith and people who are not white and he didnt do any of that. Thank you for that. What Jared Kushner is saying, put all that stuff aside, look at all the good stuff hes doing, but hes unwilling to say this was bad stuff. He said the president isnt not racist for 69 years and becomes a racist. Completely omitting the fact that the president called for the execution of the central park five. Birtherism was two years ago. For jared to say that, im sorry, its too much. He knows if you Say Something bad about this president , he will not forgive you and come out hitting and swinging. Which is why you knew he was going to Say Something bad about Meghan Markle or the mayor of london, its Melania Trumps words, if you hit him, he will hit back five times harder. Thats how he rolls. Today investigators in Virginia Beach are searching for a motive in the mass shooting. The 40yearold shooter who was killed by police at the scene submitted his letter of resignation to his job earlier on that very day. Some of the deceased are being laid to rest today while four other victims remain hospitalized. Mayor, first of all, we are so sorry for everything that you have experienced over the last four days. Tell us, first, the victims who are still in the hospital, how are they doing . Have you spoken to them . Once again, were having a little problem getting the information out because of the protection of health care information. As soon as possible, im going to try to get out to see them. But right now we have with the health care privacy, we have to be careful right now. How are residents of the city and city officials and Police Working together . How have they been doing since the incident . I tell you what, as a mayor, not only as a mayor, but as a resident of Virginia Beach, ive never been prouder. Let me say that this entire unfortunate incident has been handled with professionalism combined with compassion and pa empathy, it really makes me proud. What is being done to make sure this doesnt happen again. So much of the lead up to this is legal . Yes. The thing is, we pride ourself on being a safe city and we are the safest city our side, and this is going to be an anomaly that happened where one individual, you know, wreaked carnage on his fellow workers and, once again, you know, moving forward, i think the city is going to prove itself to be resilient and responsive and were going to come together. And let me say that the outpouring of love and people wanting to help is really building and galvanizing this community in a very positive way. In a lot of parts of the country, you cant carry guns into public buildings. Thats not the case in virginia and Virginia Beach. Do you think thats something that needs to change . I tell you what, right now this is a very recent thing and i think we got to be careful that we just dont have a kneejerk reaction where we wind up galvanizing all the with the talk. But i think that as we go through, the most important thing is that were facing a number of funerals right now. But when we all sit down, as a society, i think we have to have a rational conversation on this topic and, you know, its obviously that something has got to be done in some way. But thats going to be determined. A kneejerk reaction. Do you believe what happened in new zealand was a kneejerk reaction . It was two weeks after a mass shooting. You saw a major legislative move. Once again, i think the topic of what to do about with the guns and everything at this point, we will have discussions on that. But right now our focus as a city is you know, with the families and things of that nature. But obviously this is going to prompt a National Discussion and we will be engaged in those discussions. Mayor, our thoughts are with you and the people of Virginia Beach today. I thank you and your crew. This is an unfortunate situation, but i think the people of Virginia Beach, were going to respond in a very positive way. Thank you, sir. Good luck. Thank you. I dont know how you can respond to this in a positive way, but what you can do is honor and remember the victims and the legacies they leave behind. All of them were City Employees except for one.
