It was a moment for the president to focus on the victims, the survivors, the families, but new behindthescenes video shows it still comes back to him. The video from the president s visit to el paso where 22 people are dead and more than two dozen injured, eight still in the hospital. Cnn White House CorrespondentKaitlin Collins is live for us at the white house. If you would, tell bus this new video and what it shows. Reporter if you remember the white house didnt let cameras into the hospital because they didnt want it to turn into a photo opportunity though they did release videos of their own. Now were getting a look at what the president said beyond those videos that came from the white house. This is coming from someone who was inside the hospital where at the beginning of this video, the president thanked the medical staff for their response, their Quick Response to that shooting, but then the president quickly pivoted to talking about himself. I was here three months ago, we made a speech and we had what was the name of the arena . That place was packed, right . The judge is a respected guy. What was the name . Oh, good. That was some that was some crowd. We had twice the number outside and then you had this crazy beto. Beto had like 400 people in a parking lot. They said his crowd was wonderful. Reporter now, pam, i was at that rally for the president back in february when beto orourke was outside his supporters. The president was bragging about getting Illegal Immigrants the hell out of our country, something the crowd inside was cheering but people outside were protesting the president s visit to ohio, months before this tragedy was going to strike. Thats also a rally where the president still owes the city of el paso over half a million dollars, something they initially billed him for and added on a late fee because it has not been paid. Those fees are because of Police Officers having to be paid for working that event, Public Safety costs that the city has to consider when the president visits. Thats something that still hasnt been paid. But of course this video and the president s tone there bragging about his crowd size versus beto orourkes is going to contribute to this criticism that the president is seeing, saying essentially when he goes to meet with these victims, he doesnt always strike the right tone. Right. Weve heard the president talk about crowd sizes time and time again. At times he seems obsessed with it. But what makes this so startling, i guess, is that he was saying it while hes visiting a hospital in el paso after this mass shooting. You know, there were times where he struck a somber tone, as you pointed out, he did thank the First Responders and talked about the victims and families, but he also spent the day insulting people and sparking feuds, right . Reporter yeah, the president essentially isnt able to restrain himself when hes facing criticism. This is what people who are not just critics of the president will say but also some of his closest allies, including some of his top aides inside the white house. When someone says something critical of him, even in a time like this, the president is unable to resist by responding. Even when you watch in the wake of when he left dayton, ohio, and you saw the mayor of dayton and senator Sherrod Brown where they praised him saying the victims were grateful the president was there. They said he struck the right tone behind those closed doors as did the first lady, melania trump, but they were critical of the president s stance on gun control, which isnt surprising because they are democrats. Nan whaley just witnessed this mass shooting, just had nine of her residents gunned down. But the president and his aides watched that and they responded, pushing back saying they were being unfairly critical of the president and his visit. You continue to see the president lash out about that throughout the day. I spoke with several trump advisers and they say they dont think thats a wise idea because of course he is the president. As weve seen time and time again, he cant be restrained in the face of criticism. Kaitlin collins, thank you for bringing that to us from the white house. Now we want to turn to cnns exclusive reporting on the accused el paso gunman. An attorney for the family tells us that the suspects own mother called police just weeks before the massacre out of concern that her son had purchased an aktype rifle. Ed lavandera is live for us in el paso. So, ed, tell us more about this phone call and how police followed up on it. Reporter this was a phone call the mother placed to the allen police department, which is a suburb north of dallas where the gunman was living with his grandparents. The mother, and this is all according to lawyers for the gunmans family, says that the mother made that call because she was concerned about her son owning that type of weapon, his maturity level and whether or not he was capable mature enough to handle that kind of weaponry. The lawyer says that the mother spoke with an officer there who was basically told that the man was able to legally own that weapon and doesnt appear to be much followup after that. The lawyers do go on to say, pamela, that this was not a situation where the mother believed that her son was acting in a volatile way, in erratic behavior. Its not like alarm bells were going off, but that was a call that we understand was made several weeks before this massacre happened here in el paso. But to find out now after the fact that the mother had concern and reached out to police, it is just so sad that once again there was a potential concern and it wasnt followed up on. Ed lavandera, thank you very much. 2020 democratic candidate beto orourke has been off the campaign trail this entire week, also meeting with survivors in el paso in his hometown. Thats where he met 20yearold sean nixon who was inside the walmart shopping when he heard the shots go off. The two shared this emotional moment as nixon struggled to describe to orourke the horror he was forced to witness. Watch. Are you able to see a counselor or a therapist . Yeah . Okay. Talk to me. Its too much. I dont know why this dude is doing this to us. Its all right. Come here. Come here, man. This is my cell phone, it goes directly to me. There have been a number of people who have reached out to me, counselors, therapists, who want to be helpful. If that additional help would be good for you, let me know and ill put you in touch. If you can think of anything i can do for you or your family i want to do it, okay . Im grateful that you said hello and grateful that youre okay. Thank you for being there. Appreciate it, bud. Well, the pressure is now mounting on senator Mitch Mcconnell to do something on gun reform. Right now ohio congressman and president ial candidate tim ryan is leading a caravan of protesters now headed to mcconnells hometown in louisville to pound on the senator leaders door and demand that he bring gun violence legislation to the floor for a vote. Lauren fox is in louisville right now. What are you hearing, lauren . Reporter well, you know, democrats are not the only ones who are putting that pressure on majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. We heard, pam, yesterday the president talking about the need to expand background checks. Thats something that he is also privately pushing for, im told, from republican sources on capitol hill. And its just a good reminder of where the strategy is at this point. Members are gone, they have a congressional recess right now. A lot of folks are telling me that behind the scenes conversations are happening. Theyre trying to get a sense of what could actually pass and what could have stopped these tragedies in the first place. Ill tell you that the background checks piece of this is a bit more controversial for republican members. Its a little hard to stomach. A lot of concerns about it. But the president has had repeated calls with senator pat toomey, a big advocate and republican advocate for background checks legislation. Im told there is more promise that there could be something passed on redflag laws. It would give states incentives to pass those kinds of laws to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals. So that gives you a little bit of a sense of whats happening behind the scenes. But there is a little concern that the nra just isnt as strong as they once were and in a sense that may open the door for republicans to do more on guns than they have in the past. But again, its several weeks until members return to washington. Its just unclear whether or not the president will keep the pressure on to keep republicans to pass something on the floor. Pam. Yeah, its interesting you say that theres concern among some lawmakers that the nra isnt as powerful as it has been before. We know the nras wayne la pierre has been speaking to President Trump as well expressing concern about background checks. Well have to see how all of this plays out, lauren. Thank you for breaking it all down for us, we appreciate it. In light of all of this, new revelations that the white house has been rebuffing attempts by Homeland Security to prioritize domestic terror. But why . Plus, children right now alone after the Trump Administration arrests their parents in massive immigration raids. Ill speak live with the School Superintendent. And, the owner of soul cycle and the Miami Dolphins facing backlash for a fundraiser hes hosting for the president. Its tough to quit smoking cold turkey. So chantix can help you quit slow turkey.

Anybody else, dont leave the childs with cryingness and everything. My dad didnt do nothing, hes not a criminal. Many of the children, some as young as toddlers, relied on friends, neighbors, even strangers to take them in after officials detained nearly 700 people in a series of raids across the state, including at a Food Processing plant in morton where an 11yearold girl watched as her mom was detained and begged officials to let her go. Please, can i just see my mother, please . Please . Her mom is the only one she has. Thats her guardian. Thats her only legal guardian. No other papa, no other family, no other nothing. Diane gallagher is in morton. Diane, what more can you tell us about these raids and is there a plan in place to take care of these kids who have now been separated from their parents . Reporter so, pam, first i want to talk about that little girl that you just saw talking outside of this particular plant right here. I apologize, the train is going by right now, but this particular plant right here where her mother was detained from. I just got done speaking with her mother. She and her 12yearold daughter have been reunited. She was dropped off at a different plant overnight more than an hour away from this location. A family friend went and picked her up. She says to me that she was allowed to leave. She does not have an ankle monitor on because she had her daughter. She was her daughters only way of caring for her. Her daughter is a u. S. Citizen but she does have a court date in 2020 january. We dont know if thats the case for so many more of these parents. There were children who were just simply left at day care, children who were sitting at School Waiting for their parents to pick them up. Instead their parents had been taken to a processing center. I do know from talking to individuals who were detained that some of those people who were detained along with them may have been sent to other locations. One woman told me that she believes that her husband has been sent to new orleans at this point. But at this time right now, pamela, there are people just sitting here in front of this plant waiting for buses to arrive, hoping that their loved ones are on there. Some of these people have been here since overnight. 8 00 p. M. , 9 00 p. M. A couple buses came around 11 00 p. M. And 2 00 in the morning but they havent had anything since then. Rumors keep coming around more buses will show up and drop them off and everybody gets worked into this emotional frenzy hoping its their brother, their mother, their child that will show up but we havent seen one at this location all day, since the very Early Morning hours. Now, as far as the individuals who are the owners, the managers, the u. S. Born citizens who are in power at these particular plants, there are seven different locations and six different cities around jackson, we dont know if they are charged with anything, if there were any sort of punishment that happened. The u. S. Attorney just told us that it is an ongoing criminal investigation at this point. But again, you had over 680 undocumented people who were boarded onto these buses, taken to a processing center. Some of them have been returned, some with ankle bracelets, some with court dates. Others, their families are waiting to find out where they are and that does include some of those children right now. Your heart goes out to the children just wondering whats going to happen with their parents. I did speak to a Senior Administration official. This official said that theyre trying to reunite the kids with their parents as quickly as possible, saying any arrestee who identifies a child care issue an is not being criminally arrested or subject to mandatory detention will be expeditiously processed and returned to the point of apprehension so they can get their child or other dependent. But youre seeing a case there, diane, where the reunification hasnt happened yet for some of these kids, right . Reporter the truth is we dont know what those circumstances are. Some of those cases could be an individual who had a final deportation order or who has a criminal background of some sort. We dont know all the specifics of each individual case. I can tell you that the quote you just read there does match with what the woman i just spoke to, the mother of that girl in the video, what she said about what they told her, that she was being released to her child. They kept her i. D. , she said, but she was being released to her child because she was the primary caretaker, the only caretaker of her u. S. Born citizen daughter and they were working to do so. She told me there were so many parents, some who had small babies, and they were put in the same sort of area. She said everybody was divide up. The area that she was in, that those individuals had children, they were people who she said did not say they had any criminal past or deportation order. So it was her assumption that they had been split off from those other individuals who had been detained. She said there were about 50 buses sitting outside of that processing area that they made for them and that some of those buses she was told were going off to other states at that time, which again matches what some of these other wives, spouses have been told by attorneys and people who have been in contact with their loved ones. All right, diane gallagher, thank you so much for the latest there on the ground there in mississippi. Im going to speak live with a School Superintendent whos dealing with all of this. Plus, the owner of soul cycle and the Miami Dolphins facing backlash for a fundraiser hes hosting for the president. But is that fair . Were going to discuss. And why the House Judiciary Committee may be closer to breaking the summer recess to take action on gun control legislation. My insurance rates are probably gonna double. But dad, youve got allstate. With accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates wont go up just because of an accident. Smart kid. Indeed. Are you in good hands . Here, hello starts with hi mple. How can i help .

Well, the owner of the Miami Dolphins and soul cycle is under fire over his decision to host a fundraiser for President Trump. Stephen ross, who also owns equinox, is now facing a number of calls for boycotts to his businesses with many on social media threatening to cancel their gym memberships. Joining me now to discuss is usa today sports columnist and cnn sports analyst christine brennan. Christine, thanks for coming on. You know, this is not the first time a Business Owner has faced backlash for supporting trump. You saw it with under armour, home depot, new balance. Are you surprised in this case . Im actually not, pam, because of the intense emotional outburst and reaction that weve had to this week, this tragic and horrific week. What the nfl always has been, and frankly sports has been, is this national conversation. Its almost the nfl is a window into our culture. And so and reflects it back. So the fact that youve got ross, who is hosting this event for fundraiser for trump that probably in any other week would have gone unnoticed, but this week of all weeks when we are focusing so much on the president s racist words and white supremacist involvement and all the things that we know politically, obviously then the spotlight is now shining even more on this fundraiser and then on the owner and then on his team. Critiques of the president s rhetoric in the wake of the Mass Shootings in el paso. And its interesting because steve ross also has this organization dedicated to equality called rise. Dolphins wide receiver kenny stills tweeted by hosting this fundraiser, ross is essentially undermining the nonprofits mission. Right. Do you agree with that . I do. I understand the controversy. Ive actually been on panels for rise out at the super bowl a few years ago. Its a wonderful group. I know some of the people who work there and theyre working very hard on the issue of racial equality and all those issues involved with that, social justice, et cetera. So the fact that ross is so associated this is his nonprofit. I think that adds another layer and thats why i think its fair game and this conversation is not over by any means. He is a man who has this kind of other side to him. Most owners dont, pam. Most owners are not involved with nonprofits, so he has done that and its admirable. But now obviously you can see the contradiction and in many ways that is another point of contention for his players, as i think any of us would expect it would be. And heres what he said in a statement to cnn. He says i have been and will continue to be an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion, diversity, Public Education and environmental sustainability. And i have and will continue to support leaders on both sides of the aisle to address these challenges. He also says hes known donald trump for many, many years. But what do you think, is ross trying to have it both ways here . I think he is. Probably again before this week, before the tragedies in el paso and dayton, he may have been able to get away with it. But i think because of the fact that hes been so involved on both of these sides, it would be wrong i think not only for the players but also for journalists to not question this and bring it to light. Thats where we are in our country today. As the country goes, obviously so goes the National Football league. And what this portends, pam, moving forward as the season approaches, i think we are going to see protests again. I think well see all the things we saw with Colin Kaepernick a few years ago and that continuing saga. The story of athletes speaking out and kneeling or other kinds of protests. I think were going to see a lot of it in the wake of whats happened with the president , his rhetoric, and this is just i think a tiny piece a preview of what we could be seeing down the road. Absolutely. Christine brennan, thank you so much. Thank you, pam. We are continuing to follow the developing story out of mississippi where i. C. E. Officials arrested nearly 700 people during a series of raids across the state. They used confidential informants to help them round out undocumented workers. When those workers were detained, their children were left behind, relying on friends, neighbors and even strangers to take them in. Im going to bring in tony mcgee, the superintendent for scott county schools in mississippi. Tony, thanks for coming on. What was your reaction to the raids when you first learned about them . Well, just to be honest with you, it was a very emotional day, very emotional for our children, very emotional for our staff. Its hard to believe. You hear of those type things happening, but when it actually happens to your kids, to your boys and girls, to your parents, to your families, it takes on a whole new meaning. And were seeing we were just seeing the split screen of this little 11yearold girl moments ago who was crying after her mother was taken away. Apparently they have been reunited. But if you could just give us a sense of how many families in your county have been impacted by the raids . I can say within our district, were the sky county schools and forest municipal schools in scott county n scott county we had 12 to 15 families that we have confirmed that had some type of displacement because of this. And so we have been working with those families in particular to try to make sure boys and girls are safe and families are taken care of. Not only that, it reaches out further than that. It just puts a fear in our latino and Hispanic Community and so not only affects those that may have been directly affected by the raids, so to speak, but also those that may not have been. So its a lot of families, a lot of families. Paint a picture for us. So i. C. E. Goes in, arrests some of these parents. Were kids left abandoned at their summer camp or day care or wherever they were and who jumped in to take care of them . Was there a plan in place . What happened . Its hard to plan for Something Like that, especially prior to not knowing its going to happen. Did the administration have any plan . Not you in particular but yeah, we have an individual plan that we put in place with our School Security as we do with most things. But, no, we had some kids that didnt have anywhere to go so we did work with local Community Organizations to make sure that the boys and girls had a safe place to go, working through some people that are deeply engrained in the Hispanic Community. So weve had a lot of community support. I will tell you weve had support all over the nation, from california to new jersey to toronto. So we thank you for the outpouring support for our boys and girls here in scott county. Just quickly, i did speak to a Senior Administration official who did say i. C. E. Is assessing child care issues and trying to reunite kids with their parents as quick lly as possible if circumstances allow for that and the parents are given a court date and processed. Have you seen that play out and have you heard that from i. C. E. Directly . Ill be honest with you, i did speak with them yesterday afternoon after the raid happened. One agent in particular, hell verify that maybe some of the people that were being detained had children in school and they wanted to try to make sure that they tried to reunite families as quickly as possible. We do appreciate them reaching out to do that because we know that its never good. No matter what the situation is, for children not to be with moms and dads. All right, tony mcgee, thank you so much. We appreciate it. Thank you. Meantime, the department of Homeland Security wanted to make fighting domestic terrorism a priority, so why did the white house push back . Plus, in the middle of visiting a hospital full of mass shooting victims, the president bragged about his crowd size. Video up next. Me for making bucket lists.

Well, despite his call for unity after the Mass Shootings in two american cities, the president has spent the last several days insulting and attacking people and groups, including a flurry of insults during his trips to el paso and dayton. And now new video shows the president meeting with hospital staff in el paso, the site of the first attack, and this is whats on the president s mind. Was here three months ago, we made a speech and we had a what was the name of the arena . That place was packed, right . The judge is a respected guy. What was the name . Oh, good. That was some that was some crowd. We had twice the number outside. And then you had this crazy beto. Beto had like 400 people in a parking lot. They said his crowd was wonderful. So we were told that the president started off thanking the First Responders and acknowledging the victims and so forth and then pivoted to beto orourke, who has been critical of the president , and the crowd sizes there in the hospital in el paso. 22 people were murdered there in el paso, more than two dozen were injured. At least eight victims are still in the hospital. All eight refused to meet with the president , according to the washington post. Democratic congresswoman Jackie Speier joins us now. Shees a survivor of gun violence. Congresswoman, you were shot five times during the jonestown massacre, so you know more about this and what victims and families are going through than most. What is your reaction to what we just heard there from the president . Well, once again we have a president who has no emotive qualities whatsoever. Its about crowd size. It always comes back to him. What these grieving families need right now is consolation, someone thats going give them hope that this is not going to happen again, that there will be a way forward for their families. Unfortunately, the president does not have the capacity to be a true leader in this country. Were going to talk about what a potential way forward is in just a moment, but first i want to ask you about this new cnn reporting that the white house spent the last year rebuffing efforts by colleagues at the department of Homeland Security to make combatting domestic terror threats a priority. What is your reaction to that . Well, clearly we have a problem. We have a problem with the white house that does not assess danger for people here in our country as much as he is focused on dangers elsewhere. And domestic terrorism is real. And as we have seen, just in such graphic ways, it is happening on a regular basis. You know, before the assault weapon ban went into effect that was universal in this country for ten years, there had been Something Like seven Mass Shootings of eight people or more. During the ban, there were only two. Since then there have been over 15 excuse me, over 25 Mass Shootings since we got rid of the assault weapon ban. We do not need weapons of war that can be used by young disaffected men to mow down people in this country. Its not safe anymore and thats what we need to address. Weve seen various weapons used in these Mass Shootings. President trump addressed this idea of an assault weapons ban. He said yesterday as he was leaving the white house that there isnt an appetite for that. He did talk about background checks and well get to that in just a second, but it was interesting because we heard the president in his speech, his address to the nation on monday, condemn white supremacy. Then you heard both Elizabeth Warren and beto orourke calling President Trump a white supremacist. You previously called the president racist. Do you think hes a white supremacist . You know, i think the president is very clearly a biased person. I dont know that i would call him a white supremacist, but he has biases against africanamericans an he has biases against latinos and he shows that over and over and over again. What we need to do is try and get the president focused on coming up with some solutions to this, what is a true crisis in this country right now around guns. And of course the president says he is the least racist person he knows. So that is what he says when he is faced with that criticism, but lets talk about whats going to happen next in the wake of these Mass Shootings. Theres talk of bringing congress back into session. Give it to us straight. What gun control measures actually have a chance of making it to the president s desk and being signed into law . There is no bill thats going to make it to the president s desk unless he personally engaging with the lordsheadersh the house and the senate to come up with a bill that he will sign. Unfortunately, he listens more to wayne la pierre, who is the ceo and president of the National Rifle association, than he does to the american people. 92 of americans, including the majority of nra members, support a comprehensive background check. That bill has passed the house of representatives with a bipartisan vote, is now sitting on Mitch Mcconnells desk and he has refused to take it up. But we cant even stop there. We really need to do much more around highcapacity magazines and these weapons of war that we know as assault weapons. But lets talk about what the president has signalled hes willing to do this time around. The red flag laws that would allow family members and Law Enforcement to petition the court to take guns away or confiscate guns for those that are dangerous, considered a danger tomorrow themselves or others, and he has talked about the idea of enforcing broader background checks. What do you think, he has signalled that he is willing to do these things. It would be unpopular among some of his supporters. In fact wayne la pierre warned him against universal background checks. The president does seem to be willing to do something this time around, do you agree with that . He always talks like hes willing to do something and then he does nothing. He said the same thing after the parkland shootings. God bless those young people who went to tallahassee to the State Capitol and in three weeks got legislation passed that band the purchase of guns for those under 21, bump stocks and had background checks passed. We need to be serious about doing something, otherwise everyone will be afraid to go out. Its true. I mean well, im just saying there is you have a right to be skeptical because after parkland he did back down under pressure from the nra on raising the age limit for rifles, on background checks. So you hear it this time around and you wonder if the same thing will happen after parkland. I think that wayne la pierre got his ear and said, you know, youre going to be affecting your base. The president is all about his base. And hes going to do nothing to erode that base. And if his base is all about not doing anything on guns, hes not going to do anything on guns. And that should be the principal reason to get him out of office. Thats how serious this issue is. As a gun victim survivor, i know what its like. I mean you are scarred for the rest of your life, emotionally and physically. But you at least survive. How about all the families now that are dealing with the loss of loved ones. How about that infant who is now parentless because the parents decided to go get Birthday Party supplies at a walmart. I mean this is not normal. I want to get to politics before we let you go. President ial candidate and montana governor Steve Bullock says the president is closer to being reelected with each passing minute when democrats went after each other and president obama. Take a listen. We cannot defeat Donald Trumps politics of personal destruction if we practice the politics of selfdestruction. The fact is we are well on our way to losing this election long before it ever really even has started. Well, for whatever reason and while its obviously early, do you agree that the president is closer and closer to reelection to being reelected . You know, the november election is a long, long way away. But i would agree with governor bullock that it is time for the democrats to stop sniping at each other and downgrading the president that was responsible for creating the Affordable Care act. I think that what we have going on right now is warfare trying to gain half a point here or there on the polls and thats not going to help us succeed. The american people, i think the independents and the democrats, wanting to elect a democrat. Theyre not interested necessarily in their politics anymore, just the fact that they can beat donald trump. All right, congresswoman Jackie Speier, thank you so much for coming on. Thank you, pam.

In the wake of the two Mass Shootings in texas and ohio, the fbi has taken steps to start monitoring facebook and instagram in realtime for domestic threats. What more can you tell us about this, brian . Last month the fbi put out a call for vendors who could help them monitor social media including facebook, twitter and instagram in realtime for not just domestic threats but for terrorist groups, and criminal organizations all around the world. The winning vendor would be responsible for, you know, not only watching for social media exchanges that could tip the fbi off to potential criminal activity, but also potentially users phone numbers, i. D. Numbers, i. P. Addresses and other identifying information that could help the fbi conduct forensic investigations. Twitter and facebook are not commenting on this. This is not the first time the fbi engaged in this activity. In 2016 they announced a deal with data miner, which monitoring twitter for trending activity as a way to accomplish some of these National Security and Law Enforcement goals. We dont know whether the fbi has contracts already with other vendors to look at facebook and instagram specifically. If they dont have contracts governing looking at those platforms, this could be an expansion of their monitori ini activity. Its a balance between security concerns and civil liberties.
