Kids -- they are coming home and talking about the gun drills they did. and that impacts people who might vote the other way in past years. so it is a long game, not a short game effort. >> do you think the politics on this has changed? >> i don't think it. i know it. there is data from the last few days that suggest that gun issues have surpassed immigration as most important issue for voters. that said, i think it could be a tipping point. a lot of evidence to suggest that and as a republican strategist i could write the ads because beto o'rourke is saying out loud what republicans have been...

Doing so well why were they complaining to me about the press? and i don't think it was strategic. i was having some long background conversations with a couple of advisers going over a lot of different issues and this is one that -- that came up. so i wouldn't think of this piece as a -- as the biden people calling this reporter to bash the press. it's something that was ferreted out in the course of reporting and not some new strategy, you know, to attack the press, but look, your point is correct, s.e., you can't find examples of candidates especially female candidates who have -- who had a...
