El paso, texas outside another American Crime scene, another sight of a massacre by guns. Welcome to our viewers here in the u. S. And around the world. Any minute now, we will hear from President Trump. This as the nation mourns 29 People Killed in two states just 13 hours apart. What will the president say . What will he do . What will he push for . What will he deliver . So far he has floated the idea of tying universal Background Checks to something hes desired for a long time, Immigration Reform, which normally means money as well for a wall on the border. He also took a moment to blame the media for the attacks and the violence. Left unsaid anything about White Supremacy. In fact, since these shootings, particularly the one here in el paso where the shooter referenced white supremacist views, the president has not used those words. Look at the comments of his fbi director, Christopher Wray emphasizing the danger in this country right now. The country is mourning the lives of so m
speech in the oval office, i don t think he s going to use his bully pull pit to go after white supremacists in the way that he s gone after immigrants. so, you know, i didn t really expect much from the speech. i don t think it has much staying power. i think what does have staying power is what we ve seen from this president already in his speeches and on his twitter account and we ve seen in many ways republicans either through their silence or through their echoing his words as well, essentially rally around this president and the ways he wants to be racially divisive and we see the ways in which it really matters in this country and the ways it can lead to violence. the words matter and we know they matter because they re often oechoed by people who cary out acts of violence.
from republicans and people who support the president, he can t acknowledge it because but i m wondering without clear statements from the president even on something as simple as i m not going to accept foreign help on this election, with that can the u.s. incredibly defend against this kind of interference? a lot has been done, i m sure. i m sure a lot has been done by the likes of the fbi and nsa and department of homeland security, et cetera. and i think probably a lot has been done on a state-by-state basis, probably not consistent. what s missing is the galvanizing effect that can only come from the presidential bully pull pit by calling the public s attention not just to the security of the voter apparatus, voter registration rules and tabulation, but also what the russians did and others will do to manipulate social media to influence and manipulate opinion. and the president s voice is
waters, and his is what we got back. and leader pelosi further added donald trump has sullied the bully pull pit with reckless disregard for the safety of others. he should stop his attacks on congresswoman waters and the free press and all americans who have the right and responsibility to speak their mind. does that response satisfy you? i think it was good for minority leader pelosi to link those comments. we do feel, however, that there needs to be more said. we have not heard from senator schumer. we also plan, joy, to engage the gop leadership, speaker paul ryan who s calling for her to apologize, and many republicans who are also calling for her to be censured. and when she s speaking the truth we re taking something she said out of context and moving
it was under the black president. i know, but listen one of the things about this whole thing what the president said wouldn t you like to see somebody, the employer say instead of kurt schilling they fierpred him. he had a history and they warned him. he was warned. there is an argument to be head a lot of the american people have joined on the president s side saying protest other ways. you guys have a bully pull pit the men in the nfl have a pulpit and should use it. there are other ways to protests, what protest is acceptable? well i mean first of all, two things, number one the president is offering up a false narrative
