The president tweeted that scalise is very tough, is in very tough shape, but he is a real fighter. He is that. We have Team Coverage this morning. Amy on the scene in alexandria, virginia, with new details about those terrifying moments on the field. Good morning, amy. Reporter george, good morning to you. You know, it was almost this exact time of day yesterday when in a matter of moments this field here behind me went from a group of congressmen who were gearing up practicing for their big game tonight to an unthinkable, horrifying scene. [ gunfire ] shots ringing out on what was a quiet morning at the ball field. The Team Practicing early. At least 20 republican congressmen preparing for their annual Charity Baseball game against the democrats. I thought it was a construction site dropping a very large piece of metal, and then the next thing i heard was run, he has got a gun. Reporter the lone gunman sending a bullet into the left hip of louisiana congressman and Republican House majority whip, Steve Scalise. The bullet crossing scalises pelvis, fracturing bones, injuring internal organs and causing severe bleeding. The congressman undergoing surgery immediately. This morning, he is in Critical Condition and will need additional operations. Shots being fired and there are people running, possibly victims involved. Reporter the gunman, 66yearold james t. Hodgkinson beginning his rampage behind a fence between home plate and the third base dugout. Scalise shot while playing second base, team members taking cover in the first base dugout. I poked my head up behind the fence but he still had a line of fire into the dugout. Reporter you saw him right before he took that initial first shot. I imagine i saw him just before he shot scalise, but i had turned by that point because i heard get in the dugout. Reporter marty lavor, a photographer watched it all unfold. What was the point at which you realized, someone was shooting at us . I saw scalise on the ground but i heard it. A weapon that goes, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Get down. Reporter scalises security detail quickly jumping in. Exchanging fire with the shooter. We got one in custody. We need medics, total of five down. Reporter by 7 14 the gunman is dead and the scene scattered with abandoned equipment and left bullet ridden. At least one shattering the window of this nearby ymca. We were sitting ducks. I mean, we had no we had nothing to fight back with but bats. Reporter the teams manager representative joe barton, was at practice with his two sons, including 10yearold jack. He had 25 dads. Everybody out there was looking out for him. Reporter the gunman shooting four people with two others hurt with secondary injuries including the two Capitol Police officers now hailed as heroes. Without them there, this would have been a massacre of major proportions of innocent men, women and children at a park thats peaceful at 6 30 in the morning when we go out there. Reporter capitol hill photographer marty lavor told us several times when we talked to him last night, how grateful he was for those brave Police Officers here on this field protecting the lives of all the men out here but he stressed to us he isnt just grateful for what they did yesterday but what they do every single day, putting their lives on the line for others. Robin. All right, amy, thank you very much. And joining us now from washington are congressmen Roger Williams of texas who is a coach of the gop Baseball Team and his aide, zack barth, who was wounded by the shooter. So good to see both of you. Zack, let me begin with you. You were shot in the leg so how are you feeling this morning, zack . You know, im okay. The leg, the leg is going to be okay. The bullet went clean through and im, you know, honestly im blessed to be alive. It was a very scary moment but without, you know, agents bailey and griner it would have been much worse, and so were so blessed to have them on our team and the rest of Capitol Police. You are so right about that, young man. Congressman williams, when did you know that something was happening . Where were you on the field when the shooting began . I hit the first ground ball to steve and all of a sudden we heard this pow and i originally thought like many that it was a car that might have backfired but then they started coming at a rapid pace and i did what i dont know why i did it, but i went and ran into the dugout which is in the ground about six feet. I literally dove into the dugout and a lot of my colleagues were there, and it wasnt but about a short period of time that zack came in from the outfield and he jumped in there and we ended up holding each other along with flake and mo brooks and i think it was mo brooks that took his belt off and gave it to flake and myself to help us put zack put a tourniquet on his leg to slow the blood flow down on his leg. It was that moment and i also want to say that without the Capitol Police we probably would not be here today. They did an unbelievable job and that thin blue line worked, and i think that people across our country need to know how important they were and i think we owe everything to them. Absolutely, sir. Im glad that you said that. Zack, how were you able to make it from the outfield, having been shot . Well, so i was in center field just shagging fly balls whenever the shooting began. I ran to right field and just hit the deck and at that point the shooter turned his rifle on me and everything around me just started to pop. Then i felt the bullet hit my leg. I decided that wasnt the place i needed to be. I was just a sitting duck out there. So i made a run down the right field line. Third base line rather and ran into the dugout literally running for my life and at that point it was just all adrenaline. My fight or flight reflex just took me down. Everyone in there was doing their best to help you and to stop the bleeding as congressman williams just said, but i know that congressman brooks said that he told you, you know, you have been shot, and zack, did you really respond, its not a big deal . You know, in the moment, i was thinking mainly about just staying alive, just keep everybodys heads down and my clearly i was able to run on it so in the moment i thought it must not been that bad, but that i was able to just kind of get down there, but i was really just trying to stay alive. I wasnt really thinking about the severity of my injuries at that moment. The response from the nation has been overwhelming, and i know that the game is going to go on and representative williams, just tell people why that is so important. Well, i think its important, speaker ryan called myself and joe barton and our colleague congressman doyle on the democratic side to see if we thought we should play, and we all agreed we should for a lot of reasons. If we dont play the game, its for charity, if we dont play the game thats been played 100 years we let these people that want to change the way we live in this country forever and were not going to allow that to happen. We said yesterday, when america gets punched, america punches back, and we take days on, not off and this event goes to charity. Im hoping that well have 50,000 people in the stands, so we need to play this game and its the game of america. Its bipartisan. Were looking forward to playing it. And its the right thing to do. Well said, sir. Well said. Gentlemen, thank you both very, very much, and we wish you all the best going forward. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And that place is going to be packed for that game. I love zack. Not a big deal. Again, he said that and adrenaline was flowing like that. I mean, to be shot but the reaction from everyone in the dugout to help in any way possible. Save that little boy, as well. We are learning more about the shooter. Our chief investigative correspondent brian ross here with new details. Good morning, brian. Reporter good morning. The picture emerging is that of a 66yearold man whose life was marked by failure and personal tragedy. Outraged by the election of President Trump and a republican congress. As federal agents rushed to his home in belleville, illinois, his neighbors say he was angry and vented about politics as his life fell apart appearing on the local fox affiliate in st. Louis. 99 are getting pushed around and the 1 are just not giving a damn. Reporter in last years election, hodgkinson actively supported bernie sanders, serving as a volunteer in the iowa primary, to the senators disgust. I am sickened by this despicable act. Reporter authorities till dont know what triggered his rampage at the baseball field. Two years ago on his Facebook Page, hodgkinson commented on an editorial cartoon critical of congressman Steve Scalise. Heres a republican that should lose his job. Then on march 22nd this year hodgkinson wrote, trump is a traitor. Trump has destroyed our democracy. Its time to destroy trump and company. Two days later, neighbors called police to say hodgkinson had fired off 50 shots into the air near his home. Thats when we brought the little kids in and called the sheriff. Reporter the sheriffs report says no charges were brought. Hodgkinsons gun was not seized because, they said, he had a valid illinois firearm owners i. D. Card. He said he would quit shooting and that he would actually take his gun to a gun range where it was safer. Reporter just a few days later, hodgkinson left for washington, living out of his truck, showering in the morning at the ymca in alexandria, just across the street from the baseball field. I could see things, you know, that was very visible that looked like he was living out of his gym bag as opposed to just clothes for the day. Reporter he was a regular at the pork barrel barbecue in alexandria remembered by bartenders as a creepy guy who spent long days drinking beer and watching golf on television. He was pretty short and not exactly a warm, you know, person. Reporter his wife told abc news she thought he was about to come home this week, where reminders of his failed life awaited. His business had gone under and was cut off by city business after strange behavior. Going into the office, rifling through the desk and then becoming loud and vocal and having to be told to leave. This morning the fbi still has a lot of questions about this crazed shooter. His motives, his weapons, his associates. Asking anyone who knew him or even came across him to contact the fbi. George. Okay, brian, thanks. Lets get more on this now from our justice correspondent, pierre thomas, and former fbi special agent brad garrett. Welcome to you both. Authorities doing a lot to track down his weapons. Reporter yeah, george, good morning, because hodgkinson apparently had no felony convictions he bought the weapons recovered in the shooting legally in illinois. Sources tell us the primary weapon used in this shooting was sks assaultstyle rifle. Police recovered a smith wesson 9 millimeter pistol. The suspect also owned a shotgun. He apparently obtained a permit to carry a concealed weapon in the last two months. And brad, the profile of hodgkinson, filling in pretty quickly. Exactly, george, a guy basically going downhill that everything is not working in life and what happens is when that happens, people then tend to externalize their anger that turns to rage, and then they can justify in their own mind to go harm the people they perceive caused them their grief. And a lot of these angry political posts are directed at President Trump directed at Steve Scalise, directed at republicans, generally. But no threats in there so was there anything the fbi, secret service, anyone could have done ahead of time to stop this . I dont think so, george. I mean its the First Amendment is going to carry him through. If he made specific threats he was going to actually harm the president or somebody in congress or anyone, then perhaps someone could have moved on him but short of that, you can pretty much say what you want to say. And, pierre, a lot of questions now about congressional security. We know because Steve Scalise was a member of the leadership he had a security detail there and they made a huge difference yesterday, but now questions again about what rank and file members need. Reporter yeah, one thing we heard from the congressman yesterday is that its typically only the leadership that gets a security detail when outside the grounds of the capitol. Some say if it had not been for that it would have been much worse. I think well see congressmen expanding security when congregating outside capitol hill. Leaders in the group are not. Clearly theyre a target in this region where we have seen a series of unstable people showing up to to either the capitol or the white house, doing everything from committing suicide or pulling out weapons, george. Big problem, pierre, brad, thanks very much. Thank you, george, and well go more know on the baseball game. And as you heard, its an annual event to raise money for charity. Pitting republicans against democrats, all for a good cause and tonight, the game will go on. Lets go to abcs mary bruce at Nationals Park and, mary, were seeing a real show of unity from members of both parties. Reporter michael, good morning. Well, across this city, a bipartisan show of force. Calls for unity and calls to tone down the divisive rhetoric. Lawmakers ive talked with, many republicans on that field, say that this is their breaking point. That the vitriol has to change and tonight right here a show of unity at Nationals Park. The congressional baseball game is a go. Democrats and republicans hope that by still playing they can send a clear message that americans do not back down from fear. Now many we have talked with say that this is a washington tradition. This is a charity game and they feel that this will be a chance for lawmakers here to put aside those differences and tonight, an opportunity to honor the wounded, and also pay tribute to those heroes. Michael, these stands are going to be packed tonight. We learned that both teams will wear special uniforms . Reporter yeah, both teams will be wearing jerseys from the Louisiana State university, of course, in honor of louisiana congressman Steve Scalise and his beloved school. Michael. All right, thank you, mary. Okay, we move on to that Major New Development in the russia investigation. Special Counsel Robert Mueller now investigating President Trump for possible obstruction of justice. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega has all the latest on that. Good morning, cecilia. It has caught the eye of the president already. Reporter yeah, george, the white house said they wouldnt be talking about the special counsel, but the president himself is tweeting about it this morning. Take a look. This is in reference to that Washington Post story. Heres what he tweeted. They made up a phony collusion with the russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice. So, the focus of the investigation had been the president s aides and their dealings with the russians but as you said, the Washington Post is now saying that special Counsel Robert Mueller is looking into the president himself for possible obstruction of justice. Former fbi director james comey just last week had testified that he told the president he was not under investigation. It seems that that changed right after comey was fired, but george, a key question right now. Did the president ask comey or others to back off of that Russian Investigation . Yeah, this is going to become more than a he said he said case and comey will interview several individuals including the director of national intelligence, the director of the National Security agency. Reporter it looks like theyre focused on dan coats and whether the president asked him also to intervene and get the investigation to back off of the issue of russia and former director of national the National Security adviser mike flynn. They call this a leak thats outrageous and illegal, george. Well go to ginger, lots of Severe Weather from the great lakes to texas. Good morning, ginger. Good morning to you, robin.

It is still taking place after that terrifying shooting and members of congress, theyre defiant. They are determined to play and the game is for charity and it dates back to 1909. It is a tradition and the game will go on, they will not be stopped. Yeah, a huge crowd there. Rightfully so. Also right now we are learning that President Trump will not be attending the game tonight due to security concerns. And there are new developments in the russia investigation, special Counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly investigating the president for possible obstruction of justice. This is according to the Washington Post. Also this morning, the jury in the bill cosby trial still deliberating.

He met with the supports minister and gave him a copy of President Trumps book the art of the deal. Okay. Were going to get more now on yesterdays shooting. Calls for unity after so much heightened Political Tension across the country. Back to amy in alexandria for more on that. Good morning, amy. Reporter george, good morning to you and it was a tragedy here yesterday, what happened on so many levels because the congressmen practicing on this field behind me were gearing up for that annual game where republicans and democrats come together to raise money for charity. Now, many people are asking everyone in this country to channel that same spirit of unity. In the midst of a fierce Political Climate ive never seen hatred like this. To me theyre not even people. Reporter and the differences between the two parties seeming bigger than ever. I believe the American People have had it with stonewalling. I am not stonewalling. I am following the historic policies of the department of justice. Reporter experts are examining how angry discourse could be the spark plug for violence. The anger in our political rhetoric is something thats unprecedented and what elected officials need to understand is that their words can influence people who are predisposed to violence to conduct violent attacks. Reporter but in the wake of wednesdays shooting of republican representatives at a baseball practice, that rhetoric could be changing. We are strongest when we are unified and when we Work Together for the common good. Reporter in a joint press Conference Announcing the congressional baseball game will go on as scheduled, leaders on both sides of the aisle made it clear they want to Work Together to change the mood of the country. And when the leadership of this country is civil towards one another, maybe the public will start being civil towards one another too. Reporter and this is a very important reminder for everyone. As investigators continue to do what they do here in alexandria to put the pieces of this puzzle together, we still dont know what exactly it was that caused the shooter to snap here yesterday. George. No, we dont. Amy, thanks very much. Joined by two congressmen would witnessed the shooting at the practice yesterday. Mo brooks of alabama and Brad Wenstrup of ohio. Thank you for coming. Congressman brooks, well begin with you. You were on the field taking batting practice at the time. Just tell us what happened. Well, i was on the third base side of home plate swinging two or three bats warping up getting ready to bat after congressman rodney davis, he was actually hitting and i heard this loud explosion, i turn around first i thought it was a car backfire or Something Like that and see a barrel of a gun that is 60, 70 feet probably perpendicular from Third Base Just past the third base dugout sticking through or right up to next to the chain link fence that surrounded the field and upon closer inspection, i saw the whole gun and then i saw the shooter. He was headed he was aiming towards shortstop, second base, right field direction, perpendicular onto the field from the plane of the chain link fence then it occurred to me if i can see him if he turns his view 30 degrees to the right im only about 50, 60 feet away. No cover standing right open and all i had to defend myself with was a baseball bat which isnt going to do well against a rifle. Congressman wenstrup, youre a battlefield surgeon in iraq and were able to get to congressman scalise relatively quickly and help treat him. Tell us exactly what you did. Well, once they had the shooter down, i took off from my position. I was down along the right field line near the batting cages and ran out with a few other members including congressman brooks and started to assess his wound. I could tell he was hit in the hip and we took it down. I found the entry wound but i couldnt find an exit wound which had me greatly concerned but started putting pressure on the area, borrowed someones belt to put even more pressure and then made sure that steve was okay, tried to get him hydration, he was able to drink. I was checking his consciousness, asked him to count to five. He was able to do that. But although it looked like we had the bleeding under control, externally i was very concerned about what was taking place internally especially without finding an exit wound. What do you know about his condition now . Well, mostly what ive heard and what i understand with this type of injury from experience, hes going to need what we call damage control. You want to stabilize him, find out where the bleeding is coming from. You know, ultimately at some point you may need a vascular surgeon to repair vascular damage and Orthopedic Surgeon to repair bone damage and general surgeon if theres internal damage especially to organs so its a matter of getting things under control making sure hes getting blood there really has not been a statement come out of hospital although ive been in touch with people and theyre continuing to work on steve in what i consider to be a normal fashion for his injuries. Thats good to hear and congressman brooks, you know, the game is going to go on tonight, a sign of resolve and unity in the wake of this. A lot of calls for unity and a spirit of family in the Congressional Chamber yesterday but there was after Gabby Giffords was shot, as well. How do you keep it alive this time . Well, were going to do the best we can. You know, its a very challenging circumstance. We have some heated Public Policy issues, particularly with respect to health care but on a wider front than that and rather than follow up on that question, if you dont mind i want everybody to know how thankful i was to have Brad Wenstrup there, i helped put a little bit of pressure on the wound but having a physician there on the field with us was extremely important and the comfort he gave to Steve Scalise telling him everything was going to be okay, those assurances i could not have given those so having brad there, a physician from cincinnati, ohio, area, that was a great relief and comfort to not only Steve Scalise but also to the rest of us who were trying to help steve as best we could. Thank goodness for them and the Capitol Police as well. Gentlemen, thank you both very much. Michael. Thank you, george. All right, thank you, george. As you said there were calls for unity and those calls are growing. Take a look at this picture, an example of unity, just moments after the democrats Baseball Team learned about the shooting they huddled together to pray. Last night joe barton who was at the republicans practice with his two sons were invited to a dinner held by the Democrats Team last night and were told they were greeted with cheers and a standing ovation and barton says that he and his sons, they were honored to be there. He said he had 25 dads in that dugout. He did. Special moment.

Firefighters have been inside the building but they cant do a comprehensive search until its integrity has been assured. There is a lot of anger here. Residents asking how Something Like this could have happened. Michael. All right, thank you, james. A lot of questions to be answered and were joined now by cal fire battalion chief mike mohler in riverside california. Chief mohler, thanks for joining us. If you live in a highrise or apartment and the fire alarm goes off, what should you do . What is the first thing you should do . Well, good morning, michael. Thank you for having us. First i want to say our hearts and our prayers are with the family and loved ones affected about that tragedy. If you are hear a alarm regardless of whether you see smoke, fire, you need to evacuate that building and do it every time that alarm should sound. What if youre trying to leave your apartment, the door is warm and smoke coming in under the door what is your next step then . Next step is if you have smoke coming under your door, if you have heat is to put a towel at the base of that door to call 911 and let them know exactly where you are, your apartment number, how many people are with you so emergency officials know exactly where you are in that structure. And chief mohler, you say the number one mistake they make is theyre unprepared for a fire. So how do you make an evacuation plan. What is the best way to do that . Thats correct, preparation is what we call our prevention for citizens when they live in a highrise so what you need to do is, one, know your exit routes throughout the building. Know where your stairwells are, the quickest way out but also exercise that with your family and literally walk through that evacuation plan with your family as a group and form up outside of the building itself so Everybody Knows where to come together if there is an emergency. Well, chief mohler, thank you so much and advice all of us need to heed. Thank you very much. Robin.

I believe were going to go for the toe hang here. Yeah. You see her right now. Shes going to hang by her ankles hovering 300 feet above Niagara Falls. Just an incredible sight here. She dangles from a hoop attached to a helicopter. Her goal, to break her husbands iron jaw record attempting to hold on using only her teeth. Out here the view is incredible. You can see her hovering above the mist here and it has been a beautiful sight. There are hundreds of people out here captivated, their phones are out and they cant tier their eyes away. Six years ago nick dangled from a trapeze attached to a helicopter 250 feet above a theme park setting a Guinness World record and now his wife is trying to oneup him. On this day five years ago she made history tight roping across Niagara Falls. She can be spotted stretching and doing a series of aerial exercises and finally with her husband in the chopper she takes a bite and makes history. She had a special mouth piece she used to hang from the helicopter designed by her dentist. She says her dentist does not want her doing this type of thing. As you can imagine why. He was willing to help her out in this. Michael. Coming up we have the latest on that baseball shooting.

Former congresswoman, Gabby Giffords and her husband, mark kelly, speaking out about the virginia shooting, and they have a powerful message about bringing people together across party lines for once and for all. Yes, and also this morning, were learning more about the victims including representative Steve Scalise and his condition. Hes still in Critical Condition. For all the latest back to amy on the scene in alexandria, virginia. Good morning, amy. Reporter thats right. Good morning, guys. Overnight, we did learn more information about the condition of congressman scalise. Doctors say he suffered serious internal injuries and requires even more surgery. Right now, he is listed in Critical Condition. President trump visited his bedside and said that congressman scalise is in very tough shape but called him a fighter. The president and first lady delivered flowers and visited with Capitol Police officer crystal griner who is recovering in the hospital as well. Shes seen here in a photo playing basketball. Another victim, lobbyist matt mika, is in Critical Condition shot in the chest. His family says hes passionate about baseball and was dedicated to the congressional game and as for the gunman heres what we know so far about james hodgkinson. Neighbors back in illinois describe him as an angry man who fired shots outside his home alarming the neighborhood. He vented about republicans, calling President Trump a traitor and posting on facebook that congressman scalise should lose his job. Hodgkinson had recently moved to Northern Virginia after losing his Home Inspection business and reportedly lived out of a van often visiting a bar where people described him as creepy. Officials say because he apparently had no felony convictions, he was able to buy his guns legally back in illinois. And just a few moments ago here on gma congressman Brad Wenstrup described the shooters rifle running out of ammo and emerging again to the scene with a handgun. Thats when Capitol Police were able to take him out, but this has reignited a debate on just how much security members of capitol hill should actually have. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle reporting that they have increased threats now and expect more to come. George. Okay. Thanks very much, amy. And we are going to go to our congressional correspondent, mary bruce at Nationals Park where that Charity Baseball game will kick off tonight as planned. Good morning again, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. Well, both democrats and republicans here tonight will be wearing special jerseys in a show of unity and to pay tribute to congressman scalise. They will be honoring those heroic Capitol Police officers and both praising their Quick Response for preventing what they say could have been a massacre. Earlier here on gma, congressman Roger Williams, one of the coaches for the republican team, said there was no doubt this game must be played tonight. If we dont play this game thats been played 100 years then we let these people that want to change the way we live in this country forever and were not going to allow that to happen. As i said yesterday when america gets punched, america punches back. We take days on in america, not off, and this will be a great event and goes to charity, and im hoping well have 50,000 people in the stands so we need to play this game and its the game of america. Its bipartisan. Were looking forward to playing it. Its the right thing to do. Reporter now, robin, last night the two teams sharing a pregame dinner together. Perhaps starting a new tradition. The two parties actually enjoying each Others Company so much that some members said they might be a little sluggish out here on the field tonight, robin. Theyre all going to have the same uniform, lsu for Steve Scalise. Yes, thank you so much, mary.

Plus. What if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i made a point to talk to my doctor. He told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. And in this swe see. Veryday act, when we give, we receive.

I had the honor to sit down exclusively with former arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords who as you know, was seriously wounded in a mass shooting in 2011. Thankfully, she has made a remarkable recovery but she still has difficulty speaking at times. I sat down with her and her husband mark kelly to hear their inspirational message of support and strength. You both expressed your concerns in a very powerful statement saying, its not about being a republican, not about being a democrat. You said, this shooting is an attack on all who serve and on all who participate in our democracy. What was your initial reaction when you heard about the shooting . Im so sad. So sad. I think its also an attack on democracy. Yeah. Just like in january, 2011 and at the Safeway Grocery store, i mean that was an attack on democracy as well. That attack was the assassination attempt six years ago that left Gabby Giffords with a severe brain injury. Today she along with her husband mark kelly have become passionate advocates for better gun control legislation. Stopping gun violence takes courage. Ive seen great courage when my life was on the line. You travel the country and its kind of like, wow, people are on this side and that side and trying to bring people together. What is your message . What is your thought on how we can bridge this divide in the country . Try to understand the people on the other side. Gabby was a democrat who served in a republican district and she knows a lot about moderation and working across party lines. Now is the time to come together, be responsible. Democrats, republicans everyone. And its a challenging time for our country. I dont have to tell you theres been rhetoric on both sides of the aisle. Yes. Theres been this feeling of a great divide in our country and some republicans who are pointing to the heated rhetoric thats been directed toward President Trump as one of the factors in the shooting. Gabby, what can we do to bring this country together . Democrats, republicans. They need to Work Together. Work together. You know, understanding that were all in this together and that we, you know, we need to kind of join together to solve our nations problems. Remember, 2011, that was the last time that we had a shooting like we did yesterday and the way that they have been so vocal, both of them, in getting the word out and to everyone is just hoping once can we just put aside differences and know that there are differences in philosophy and things like that but the heated rhetoric. Yeah, even if we have differences its the way you talk about and the way you talk about the people you disagree with. Thats whats got to get under control. Thats the truth, but its always an honor to be in her presence. And coming up, remember a good friend, jarrius . You dont have to tell me twice. Yes. Some special award for him. Hes going to tell us. My man, jarrius. Some special award for him. Hes going to tell us. My man jarrius. Atic arthritis caused joint pain. , jarrius. And i was worried about joint damage. My doctor said joint pain from ra can be a sign of existing joint damage that could only get worse. He prescribed enbrel to help relieve pain and help stop further damage. Enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Tell your doctor if youve been someplace where fungal infections are common, or if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. Dont start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Joint pain and damage. Can go side by side. Ask how enbrel can help relieve joint pain and help stop joint damage. Enbrel, fda approved for 18 years. Coppertone sport versus the sun. Coppertone sport stays on strong when you sweat and is Strong Enough to stop up to 98 of the suns damaging uv rays. Coppertone.
