Plus, despite growing pressure on Bernie Sanders to drop out, hes still in for now. Well ask our sunday panel if the democrats can unify after a long bruising primary battle. All right now on Fox News Sunday. And hello again from fox news in washington, we begin with breaking news. Police in orlando say approximately 20 people are dead after a shooting inside a florida nightclub, at least 42 people have been taken to area hospitals. It happened early this morn at the pulse orlando nightclub, police described the shooter as, quote, well organized and prepared.

After taking hostages and opening fire on the crowd. The fbi says it is investigating it as an act of terrorism, adding, also suggestions the suspect had, quote, some leanings toward that particular ideology, islamic radicalism. We will get a live report from the scene in orlando in a moment. First to the politics. The voters have spoken this week after a handful of final cont t contests including california, Hillary Clinton now joins donald trump as her partys presumptive nominee. For clinton it came eight years to the day she formally ended her last president ial campaign. For trump even his supporters concede he has just had his worst week yet on the campaign trail and hes trying to bounce this hour we will speak with two key supporters for both candidates here in washington, Jeff Sessions of alabama, the first senator to endorse trump, and in minneapolis senator Amy Klobuchar who threw her support behind clinton in 2014. First to senator sessions, chairman of Trumps National security committee. Welcome back to Fox News Sunday. Thank you. I want to get your reaction first to this breaking news out of florida and all that were hearing approximately 20 dead and what were hearing from authorities so far in this investigation. Well, it certainly looks like another one of the extremist attacks, islamic extremism. Just within the Wonderful Group of islamic people are a Certain Group of radicals and its been there for a long time and it seems to be growing and we have to accept that fact, we have to be cautious about it. Our committee, my subcommittee this week just concluded that weve had over 570 individuals either convicted or charged or connected to terrorism since 9 11. 570. This is the Judiciary Committee report, that 570 convicted or indicted since 9 11. Since 9 11. And its not stopping. We see apparently today more of these attacks are coming, its a real part of the threat that we face and if we cant address it openly and directly and say directly that there is an extremist element within islam thats dangerous to the world and has to be confronted, we need to slow down and be careful about those we admit into the country. We know about twothirds and we havent completed it yet, but about twothirds of those people that were charged were foreign born, almost all islamic individuals. So its a serious matter. I wish it werent so. I wish there were some easy solution, but theres not. We have to be more vigilant. Authorities are cautious. This is early. We dont know who this person is. At least we dont know it was interesting to hear the fbi answer a question about islamic ideology, saying that this person had leanings toward that ideology, but the Investigation Continues. You seem to be making that jump already, that i dont know if authorities are there yet, but it did seem like they went further than we usually hear at the beginning of these investigations. Thats what i took it to be. I think pretty clearly the fbi knew what they were saying. Maybe not. We dont have conclusive proof, you are correct about that. It certainly shows, again, the reluctance of them to actually say the words islamic extremism or islamic terrorism. Of course most islamic citizens and visitors to america are not violent, but there clearly is a problem here. This comes and usually this an incident like this, a mass shooting, eventually the discussion quickly goes to guns and this comes about a week after Hillary Clinton on a sunday show seemed to have an definitively that an individuals right to bear arms is a constitutional right. Youve talked about that and her trouble in answering that question. The Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. If her view and the haller court were to be reversed what that would mean is and this is what she said she favors it would mean that any city, county or state could completely ban the use of firearms in america. It would be the greatest evisceration of the protections of the Second Amendment since the founding of the republic. It was 54 in the Supreme Court. Scalia was the fifth vote. Now that he has passed away the next president will appoint the fifth vote. If she is elected president , count on it, she will appoint a judge who will declare it not to be a personal right, guaranteed against any state, federal and local government, but would say that it could be constricted by be a huge thing. You know, she says and her Campaign Says thats way over the line as far as where she is. Its not. Imagine the cities in america that would immediately if had the power would ban firearms in their cities. Washington, d. C. Had to have a federal court overrule their ban of all firearms in washington. This is not an extreme position, its absolute fact. Haller is the only thing that protects us, it was 54 and it could flip 54 the other way if she appoints the next justice. Well get back to the breaking news and that shooting in florida in a bit. Now to politics. How would you describe Donald Trumps week politically . Well, it was a rough week because it got him off message and allowed people to and put members of congress having to answer questions they dont like to answer and it was just not the best of week, but i was with him friday at the speech to the well received and strong. Hes going to make another big speech on monday night and i think that will address the weaknesses and differences he has with Hillary Clinton. This man communicates. Hes talking about the issues people care about. Peoples wages are not up, theyre down. The percentage of americans actually working with a job continues to decline. It was a terrific terrible week last week on those numbers. So i think hes gotten the message and the hope that people want. Were going to make change, were going to protect you from excessive and unfair imports. Were not going to allow excessive illegal immigration to take your jobs and pull your wages down as is happening today. And i think people are ready to hear it. The horrific nature of todays event this morning also brings into mind national security. Do you think that this event changes the perspective, changes this the focus of this election now . Movement in the direction that donald trump has set forth. We need to defeat the radical extremists around the world and he will do so and use whatever force is necessary. And we need to be careful about how many people we bring in and be sure we can vet them properly before we admit them to the United States. The last gop nominee as you know is saying that he cannot in any way support the pre sump testify gop nominee. Here is mitt romney friday talking about the comments of donald trump about that judge in the Trump University case. I dont want to see trickle down racism. I dont want to see a president of the United States saying things which change the character of the generations of americans that are following. President s have an impact on the nature of our nation and trickle down racism, trickle down bigotry, trickle down mess oj knee all these things are extraordinarily dangerous to the heart and character of your reaction to that, senator. Look, this is was one off the cuff comment that he probably shouldnt have made. He has explained it and ive said he is going to stay off this subject. Not to interrupt but he did say it numerous times in a couple of interviews and he was pressed on it. Its not the kind of comment that is focused on the main issues facing america. Its something he was irritated about because he felt he was not being fairly treated in that lawsuit, but what i would say to governor romney is we have got a nation at risk. We are about to elect a person like Hillary Clinton who will take this country one way and donald trump another. I cannot understand the differences that he might have there. He is an outlier on this. The leadership in the house and the senate have endorsed donald trump, they like to give advice on how he ought to conduct his campaign, but they are supporting him and we are going to be victorious in november. Last thing on this and the judge comment. Youre right, he has frustration with this particular judge. He said it differently at the beginning, he has since said that race nor religion should be used to determine if someone can do their job fairly. That said, his supporters will say this judge curiel has an affiliation with the Hispanic NationalBar Association, la raza Bar Association and they say that he had past statements about his company or trump, these organizations did. But through all the proceedings trumps lawyers never made a motion to move the trial or to have the judge recuse himself. You are an attorney, you are the former attorney general of alabama. If he had a real problem with this judge on these issues, shouldnt they have filed a motion . Well, the recusal motions require a very specific proof of very specific acts and statements to recuse a judge. Maybe they dont think they meet those legal tests. Still obviously mr. Trump believes he has not been having fair treatment there, but hes correct, trump was correct in every american should be treated on the content of their character, not their race, not their ethnicity, not their religion. Thats an important principle for all of american leaders to understand and notice and i believe we will move beyond this and focus on the key issues for next election this next election. Do you think its a conflict of interest for president obama to endorse Hillary Clinton while his fbi still investigating her on not only the emails but also the Clinton Foundation . Look, he has a right to endorse her. Presumably he is not managing that investigation personally. Although in fact he did cause a lot of concern when he met right after endorsing her with the attorney general who will make the final decision, bret. The fbi can make a recommendation, they present the facts to the attorney general, attorney gene that was very problematic to me. I thought that was a bad signal. He should not have done that. Hes got to show that he supports the fbi and the prosecutors totally in doing their duty, whatever the facts say. Finally, senator, here is donald trump over the weekend talking to a crowd about who he should pick as vp. We have some great people in the republican party. Everybody wants to know who im going to choose for Vice President. Who do you like . He says newt. Who do you like . They say sessions. Sessions. So, senator, you had some people in that crowd. What do you think . One, would you take the job, if offered, and two, understanding its Donald Trumps choice, what qualities do you think he needs to look for in vp . I really think that this will be a big decision for him. I think hes given it thought and hes somebody that people recognize could be a good president first, because they could become president. He needs somebody that he can work with and trust and if they can bring some political advantage because of a state or a group of people that trust him and like him i think thats helpful, too. I just said when pressed, you know, of course i would consider it if i were asked but i dont expect that to happen. A lot of better people out there than i and i look forward to supporting this ticket, though, until november. Senator, we appreciate your time. Thanks for rolling with the breaking news. Thank you. Up next, well bring in our sunday group to discuss some of his gop colleagues who are wavering in their support over some of trumps rhetoric, plus more on that mass shooting at that orlando nightclub. Authorities are investigating it as terrorism. Keep it here. This personal essay is way harder than i thought,oney. Its just not in my nature to brag on myself. Not even a backdoor brag . Whats a backdoor brag . Sneaking Something Wonderful about yourself into everyday conversation, like when i tell people, i cant watch musicals cause i have perfect pitch. vo some carriers promise unlimited streaming, but then automatically shrink your videos so theyre not hd quality. Its not pretty. Really . Switch to verizon now, buy two samsung phones, and get a free samsung 50 inch smart tv, plus up to 650 back. Only on americas best network. Think that it is a radical islamic terrorist . I would say at this time were looking into all angles right now. We do have suggestions that that individual may have leanings towards that particular ideology, but right now we cant say definitively. It appears he was organized and wellprepared. That was foxs peter doocy asking the fbi about the possibility of a terror connection in the deadly mat shooting at an orld nightclub. Peter, the reporter and, bret, we know that seven hours ago pulse, which bills itself as orlandos premiere gay nightclub, came under attack and things were so dire they tweeted desperately, everyone get out of pulse and keep running. Things started at 2 02, just about a block and a half behind us here in orlando, about a tenmile drive from all of the te theme parks when an Orlando Police officer who was working security engaged in gunman in a fire fight. There were some backup officers that came, the gunman ran back inside where about 320 club goers were enjoying themselves late on a saturday night, early on sunday. Many managed to escape, but 30 hostages were held until about 5 00 a. M. , so for three hours this person held 30 or so hostages until the s. W. A. T. Team decided at 5 00 a. M. While they they needed to go in and try to rescue those people. During the rescue they did a nineman s. W. A. T. Team managed to shoot and kill the attacker, but once he was neutralized they realized that there were approximately 20 dead club goers laying inside. Now, we do not have a precise victim count yet because the facility still being swept for devices. We know that the shooter had a long gun, a handgun and some kind of a device that concerned authorities enough that they have had the bomb squad in there all morning. This is still an unfolding situation. Keep in mind it has been just over seven hours since the first shots rang out and we have an update coming from the fbi here in a few minutes. They say that they are not ruling anything out, but that they do have indications this shooter has leanings towards radical islamic terror. Bret. Peter doocy live in orlando. A conference we will bring you the latest and all the information from that. Its time for our sunday group. Fox news senior political analyst brit hume, julie pace, george will and juan williams. Brit, i was surprised in that press conference to hear that fbi agent go down that road this soon in this shooting. They must have something that suggests that to them. We dont know what that is. We dont know who the shooter is. Of course we dont know, as even the fbi acknowledged, what the motivation for this was. So, you know, beyond that its interesting that they said that, but well see if it pans out. Its early days and perhaps wise to reserve judgment about what this is really all about. Julie, were just getting a white house statement coming in right now that the president was briefed this morning by the assistant to the president for meland security lisa monaco in counterterrorism t shooting in orlando saying our thoughts and prayers are with the pham police and the loved ones of the victims. The president asked to receive regular updates as the fbi and other federal officials work with Orlando Police to gather more information and directed that the federal government provide any assistance necessary to support the recovery. Nothing out of the ordinary with that white house statement but the fbi engaged early on. Absolutely. I think that the white house and counterterrorism officials are certainly going to be looking for what brit talked about, more information to expand on that somewhat vague comment that we heard which was unusual to hear a Law Enforcement in one of their very first briefings raise a possibility. Usually they wait until they have much more information to put that out there, knowing that doing so really will get a lot of attention and raise a lot of questions. So i think that well hopefully have more from them in their next update. George. First of all, not every act that the terrifying is terrorism. When the fbi says this is being investigated as an act of telling us way too much, which is that its associated somehow in the public mind with International Terrorism or theyre telling us nothing at all, which is that theyre not ruling out the possibility that there could be some connection. If its an International Terrorism its implausible it seems to me that al qaeda or one of its franchises would target a gay nightclub in central florida. Now, were told that this gentleman has leanings. If all that means is he doesnt like gay pe
